Dear Mr. Meisner: This is in reply to your letter of April 4, 1972, in which you aske whether it is permissible for the engine starting system of a vehicle conforming to the interlock requirements of Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208 to be operable when there are no occupants in the front seats by reaching through an open door or window to turn the ignition key.; Our reply is that the standard does not prohibit a system that operate in this way. Such a system is therefore permissible.; Sincerely, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
