Question Any difference between 02 & 03 ES?

Are there any difference between 02 and 03? Engine, power and transmission are identical. Both seem to have Vehicle Skid Control and Traction Control as standard. What about items like airbags? 03 has front, side and curtain air bags but don't remember whether 02 has curtain bag or not. Hope you guys can help. Thanks.

It looks like neither Vehicle Skid Control nor Traction Control are standard in these models. The only change was that the optional power pedals are standard in the 2003.

According to Consumer Guide:
Year to Year Changes
2003 Lexus ES: Optional power-adjustable pedals were the main 2003 addition to Lexus's luxury-oriented entry-level sedan. Lexus's optional Vehicle Stability Control antiskid/traction system included a full-power brake-assist feature.
According to Automotive.com
For 2003, Lexus has added the option of power-adjustable pedals to the ES 300's long list of luxuries. Otherwise, the ES 300 is unchanged from last year.
