WARNING: This vehicle has special energy management safety
belts for the driver and right front passenger. These particular
belts are specifically designed to work with air bags to help
reduce the risk of injury in a collision. The energy management
safety belt is designed to give or release additional belt
webbing in some accidents to reduce concentration of force on
an occupant’s chest and reduce the risk of certain bone
fractures and injuries to underlying organs. In a crash, if the air
bag is turned OFF, this energy management safety belt might
permit the person wearing the belt to move forward enough to
incur a serious or fatal injury. The more severe the crash, and
the heavier the occupant, the greater the risk is. Be sure the air
bag is turned ON for any person who does not qualify under the
NHTSA deactivation criteria.

Transport Canada 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:

•

my vehicle has no rear seat;

•

the rear seat in my vehicle cannot 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 monitor the infant’s condition.

2.

Child age 12 or under:

A child age 12 or under must ride in the

front seat because:

•

my vehicle has no rear seat;

•

although children age 12 and under ride in the rear seat whenever
possible, children age 12 and under have no option but to sometimes
ride in the front seat because rear seat space is insufficient; or

•

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

3.

Medical condition:

A passenger has a medical condition that,

according to his or her physician:

•

poses a special risk for the passenger if the air bag deploys; and

•

makes the potential harm from the passenger air bag deployment
greater than the potential harm from turning OFF the air bag and
experiencing a crash without the protection offered by the air bag
