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.
{ CAUTION:
If the right front passenger’s 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 of an airbag. In a crash,
the airbag will not be able to inflate and help
protect the person sitting there. Do not turn off the
passenger’s airbag unless the person sitting there
is in a risk group.
