effectiveness of the safety belts, because safety belts in modern vehicles are designed to work as a safety system with the airbags.

Read all airbag Warning labels in the vehicle as well as the other important airbag instructions and Warnings in this Owner's Guide.

NHTSA gives permission to install airbag cut-off switches in the following terms:

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

•the vehicle has no rear seat;

•the 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 so that the driver can constantly monitor the child's condition.

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

•the 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 the 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.

3.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.
