revised vehicle placard and tire

information label, on revised tire

labeling, and on tire safety and load

limits and terminology.

FMVSS No. 205—Glazing Materials

This standard specifies requirement

for all glazing material used in

windshields, windows, and interior

partitions of motor vehicles. Its purpose

is to reduce the likelihood of lacerations

and to minimize the possibility of

occupants penetrating the windshield in

a crash. More detailed information

regarding the care and maintenance of

such glazing items, as the glass-plastic

windshield is required to be placed in

the vehicle owner’s manual.

FMVSS No. 208—Occupant Crash

Protection

This standard specifies requirements

for both active and passive occupant

crash protection systems for passenger

cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles,

trucks and small buses. Certain safety

features, such as air bags, or the care

and maintenance of air bag systems, are

required to be explained to the owner by

means of the owner’s manual. For

example, the owner’s manual must

describe the vehicle’s air bag system and

provide precautionary information

about the proper positioning of the

occupants, including children. The

owner’s manual must also warn that no

objects, such as shotguns carried in

police cars, should be placed over or

near the air bag covers.

FMVSS No. 210–Seat Belt Assembly

Anchorages

This standard specifies requirements

for seat belt assembly anchorages to

ensure effective occupant restraint and

to reduce the likelihood of failure in a

crash. The standard requires that

manufacturers place the following

information in the vehicle owner’s

manual:

a. an explanation that child restraints

are designed to be secured by means of

the vehicle’s seat belts, and,

b. a statement alerting vehicle owners

that children are always safer in the rear

seat.

FMVSS No. 213—Child Restraint

Systems

This standard specifies requirements

for child restraint systems and requires

that manufacturers provide consumers

with detailed information relating to

child safety in air bag-equipped

vehicles. The vehicle owner’s manual

must include information about the

operation and do’s and don’ts of builtin child seats.

Part 575 Section 103—Camper Loading

This standard requires that

manufacturers of slide-in campers

designed to fit into the cargo bed of

pickup trucks affix a label to each

camper that contains information

relating to certification, identification

and proper loading, and to provide more

detailed loading information in the

owner’s manual of the truck.

Part 575 Section 105—Utility Vehicles

This regulation requires

manufacturers of utility vehicles to alert

drivers that the particular handling and

maneuvering characteristics of utility

vehicles require special driving

practices when these vehicles are

operated on paved roads. For example,

the vehicle owner’s manual is required

to contain a discussion of vehicle design

features that cause this type of vehicle

to be more likely to roll over, and to

include a discussion of driving practices

that can reduce the risk of roll over. A

statement is provided in the regulation

that manufacturers shall include, in its

entirety or equivalent form, in the

vehicle owner’s manual.
