This is allowed only in new vehicles that have no rear seat position or a rear seat that is too small for a rear-facing infant seat. Cut-off switches may be installed by dealers or repair shops for a passenger air bag in older vehicles that have no rear seat position or a rear seat that is too small for a rear facing infant seat.
