Abstract
On May 23, 1995, NHTSA published a final rule allowing manufacturers the option of installing a manual device that motorists could use to deactivate the front passenger-side air bag in vehicles in which infant restraints can be used in the front seat only. As part of this final rule, NHTSA amended the air bag warning label required on vehicle sun visors. The amendments were effective June 22, 1995. Due to an error, the regulatory language of the final rule deleted an option to use the signal word ``Warning'' in place of the word ``Caution'' on the sun visor label. This notice corrects that error.
