Certain vehicles fail to comply with some of the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 208, "occupant crash protection." The rear outboard seat belts do not comply with the lap-belt lockability requirement which enables the lap belt portion of the belt to be locked by the user to facilitate the use of older non-latch design child restraint devices.
