My boss has an RX400h and discovered a possible problem involving the vehicle's airbags. He told me that he was driving the car recently and his 16 year old daughter was in the front passenger seat. He noticed that when his daughter reclined the front passnger seat fully so that it was virtually completely horizontal so that she could take a nap, that the indicator on the dashboard indicated "Passenger Airbag Off," or words to that affect. It is his recollection that when the seat is empty that message should be displayed. When the seat is occupied it should not be. Why, he wonders, would the airbag protection be deactivated when the backrest is fully reclined?
Anybody know?
Thanks.
