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;
• 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. Transport Canada Deactivation Criteria
(Canada Only) WARNING:
This vehicle has
special energy management seatbelts
for the driver and right front passenger.
These particular seatbelts are
specifically designed to work with
airbags to help reduce the risk of injury
in a crash. The energy management
seatbelt gives or releases additional
seatbelt webbing in some accidents to
reduce the concentration of force on an
occupant's chest and to reduce the risk
of certain bone fractures and injuries to
underlying organs. In a crash, if the airbag
is off, this energy management seatbelt
might permit the passenger wearing the
seatbelt to move forward enough to
have a serious or fatal injury. The more
severe the crash, and the heavier the
occupant, the greater the risk. Make sure
the airbag is on for any passenger who
does not qualify under the Transport
Canada deactivation criteria.
