3. Vehicles that have been modified from their original state, other than
regular maintenance, may not be eligible for importation into Canada. For
example, a van transformed into a motor home (often known as class B motor
home), a van equipped with raised roof and/or modified interior, a pick-up
or a passenger car equipped with lift kit, etc. 4. Some vehicles in Section
3 - *Passenger Cars*, in Section 5 - *Multipurpose Passenger Vehicles* and
in Section 12 - *Trucks* are marked with either:
(1) an arrow (>), or (2) ([EIS]), or (3) (>[EIS]).
(1) The arrow (>) indicates that the vehicle will require modification to
accommodate the child tether anchorage. Again the modifications may prove to
be extensive and expensive.
(2) The letters [EIS] indicate that the vehicle is either equipped with an
electronic immobilizer installed by the manufacturer but not certified to
meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 114 or that no electronic
immobilizer is installed. *Please see section 9 of these explanations for
further information on immobilizers.*
(3) (>[EIS]) indicates that the vehicle requires modification to the child
tether anchorage and that some action is required on the immobilizer (see
section 9 for details). Where the the arrow (>) and the letters ([EIS]) are
at the end of a group which lists models joined by a comma (,) or an and (&)
sign, all models in that group are affected by the arrow (>) and the letters
([EIS]) .
5. US vehicles which were originally equipped with air bags as required by
US safety standards must have operational air bags at the time of inspection
by the Registrar of Imported Vehicles. 6. All admissible vehicles,
including all types of trailers, must bear a 17 digit alphanumeric Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN) as required by Canada Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (CMVSS) 115, including snowmobiles manufactured after January 1,
2001 and re
