CUSTOMER HAS TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER ON 2 OCCASIONS FOR PROBLEMS WITH SRS UNIT(SRS LIGHT STAYS STEADILY LIT WHILE CAR IS ON). CUSTOMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM RESULTED FROM RECLINING PASSENGER SEAT WHILE DRIVING. THE UNIT WAS RE-PROGRAMMED AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. CUSTOMER WAS THEN TOLD THAT IT WAS BECAUSE SHE STOWS HER WHEELCHAIR IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT. IF THE CHAIR IS UNRESTRAINED, THE CAR THINKS THAT A PERSON IS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND THE COMPUTER WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF THE SYSTEM. CONSUMER BEGAN RESTRAINING THE W/C, AND LIGHT CAME ON A THIRD TIME.*AK
