Abstract
This rule corrects an inconsistency between the telltale requirements for air bag suppression systems and air bag on-off switches required under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208, Occupant crash protection and 49 CFR part 595 Subpart B, Retrofit on-off switches for air bags. This document resolves the problem by permitting manufacturers of vehicles equipped with air bag on-off switches and manufacturers of retrofit air bag on-off switches to use the abbreviation "pass" in lieu of "passenger" on the telltales.
