Before viewing this cutoff chart, read this information post.
Red - no cutoff (passenger airbag WILL deploy regardless of occupancy)
Blue - cutoff depends on vehicle variant
Yellow - cutoff is included, but does NOT meet FMVSS 208 advanced airbag standards; these cutoffs were typically aimed at reducing repair costs when the passenger seat is empty, and not toward child safety.
Green - cutoff is included, that DOES meet FMVSS 208 standards
Note that this chart only includes automatic, sensor-based cutoffs, not manual switch-based cutoffs.
This chart contains the South Korean brands Hyundai and Kia.
Hyundai and Kia were the first non-luxury brands to adopt an automatic passenger airbag cutoff system. A year listed in a cell indicates the first year that model included the cutoff if 2001 or earlier; for instance, the Hyundai Elantra first included the cutoff in the 2001 model year.
