Seats and Restraints

This switch should only be turned
to the off position if the person in
the right front passenger position
is a member of a passenger risk
group identified by the national
government as follows:

Infant. An infant (less than
1 year old) must ride in the
front seat because:

.

My vehicle has no rear seat;

.

My vehicle has a rear seat
too small to accommodate a
rear-facing infant seat; or

.

The infant has a medical
condition which, according to
the infant's physician, makes it
necessary for the infant to ride in
the front seat so that the driver
can constantly monitor the
child's condition.

Child age 1 to 12. A child
age 1 to 12 must ride in the
front seat because:

.

My vehicle has no rear seat;

.

Although children ages 1 to 12
ride in the rear seat(s) whenever
possible, children ages 1 to 12
sometimes must ride in the front
because no space is available in
the rear seat(s) of my vehicle; or

.

The child has a medical
condition which, according to
the child's physician, makes it
necessary for the child to ride in
the front seat so that the driver
can constantly monitor the
child's condition.

Medical Condition. A passenger
has a medical condition which,
according to his or her physician:

.

Causes the passenger airbag
to pose a special risk for the
passenger; and

.

Makes the potential harm from
the passenger airbag in a crash
greater than the potential harm
from turning off the airbag and
allowing the passenger, even if
belted, to hit the dashboard or
windshield in a crash.

WARNING

If the right front passenger
airbag is turned off for a
person who is not in a risk
group identified by the national
government, that person
will not have the extra protection
