Abstract

New cars with 115-inch wheelbase or greater must have on Sept 1, 1981; new cars with 101-inch wheelbase or greater must have on Sept 1, 1982; and all new cars will have on Sept 1, 1983 passive crash protection- safety belt or airbag- for front seat occupants in 30 mph crashes. It is estimated that 2 1/2 million cars would be affected in the first phase, an additional 5 million in the second phase and another 2 1/2 million in the third phase.
