Default '07 LS460: Rear Side Airbags?

Does the '07 LS have rear side airbags? I was just looking on-line and saw it as part of a package but I thought it came standard.

It's an option that is ordered as a standard feature in most places.

The Premium Plus gets different rear air bags as well - I assumed these were the same as the Exec - ?

I can't remember what I have but it was the $67k version with navigation, heated & cooled seats, power sunshade, etc. does that mean I should have it?

Ha - you had to have that MSRP -- never seen a 67k in my area. I know the 69's have it but not sure about the 67's... You should see Airbag logo's in the rear - Curtain and Side.

OK, I am looking at the sticker (which I unfortunately paid a couple of years ago when it was just released) and I don't see it listed as an option. I have the Comfort Package, navigation, park assist, power trunk and preferred accessory.

Under standard equipment it does say rear side curtain airbags but this is not the same as side airbags is it?

Sticker was $67,242

Side curtain airbags cover the window area, whereas side airbags are on the door area...

Lux,

Easy - just check your owners manual - what you are looking for is on page 105 #4 -Rear Side SRS Airbags. Look at the seat-belt in the back and it will either say Air-Bag in the belt at the bottom and or on the door jam - yellow sticker saying air-bag. If you don't have either of these indicators saying "Airbag" in the back then you probably don't have them. The rear curtain sign's are up in the curtain area so easy not to confuse them with the rear side airbags.

I learned something --- The only airbag my L does not have is the SRS seat cushion air-bag for your BUT... but only for buts in the Exec Seat :-) Lol....

Darn, I don't think I have it! I would have definitely ordered that if it was presented as an option. Bummer

lux - I'd give you mine if I could :-)... Have to call the dealer to find out if you can TURN them off. Heard that they can be a problem if you have car-seats in the rear...
