DaimlerChrysler Corporation is now offering airbag on-off switches for the selected vehicles listed above. Other applicable passenger vehicles will be
announced as soon as the switches are available. The switches are packaged in a kit containing all necessary parts (except as indicated) and a detailed
instruction sheet.
Under the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's rule, consumers will be authorized for on-off switches by claiming they meet any of several
criteria. Airbag on-off switches must not be installed without the vehicle owner presenting the NHTSA authorization letter. For more information
concerning the authorization process and/or the authorization letter call NHTSA's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
We encourage you (dealer) to install these switches when the customer is interested in doing so and has the necessary NHTSA authorization.
