Yearwood Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 2014 ES300h - 4600 miles. Just noticed that with my wife in the passenger seat the Airbag Off light is on. Is there an switch for this somewhere? Could not find it in the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBdenny Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 automatic when a certain weight is placed on the seat. Take your wife on a couple good runs through McDonald's and it might function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yearwood Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 When I put my somewhat larger frame on the seat the airbags on lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBdenny Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Seriously, drive over to dealer and make them check it out. Should not do that in a 4 door. I do know in piickups, there is a key slot that you can manually turn it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yearwood Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 In again today solely for this issue. They can find nothing wrong after "exhaustive" checking and suggested adjusting the seat differently. They stated other have had ths problem This is a safety issue. Anybody have further advice?

VBdenny Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Perhaps it is working properly. The advanced airbag systems probably will not fire unless a certain weight is on the seat. This is done to prevent children and small adults from getting killed by them. Although it is possible, I doubt your wife (or anyone's) could not have enough weight to activate the system.

Yearwood Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Seems unreasonable to me based on her weight. I can understand it not firing for children. Frankly, I'd prefer a switch so that the matter could be left in my hands rather than those of the government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
