NHTSA Amends FMVSS 208 to Clarify Air Bag Telltales

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has revised Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208, Occupant Crash Protection, to resolve an inconsistency in the requirements for air bag suppression systems and air bag on-off switches, allowing manufacturers to use the abbreviation 'pass' instead of 'passenger' on telltales.
