Abstract: An apparatus includes a stowage bin defining a compartment and an airbag mounted to the stowage bin. The airbag is deployable to an inflated position. When the airbag is in the inflated position, the airbag at least partially encloses the compartment. When in the inflated position, the airbag retains items, if any, that are stored in the compartment by an occupant of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method of correcting a seatback recline angle is provided. The method includes a vehicle seat having a seat portion and a seatback portion, wherein the seatback portion is configured to recline to a plurality of reclined positions. The method further includes the steps of (a) measuring a recline angle of a seatback; (b) comparing the recline angle of the seatback to a predetermined recline angle threshold; (c) determining if the recline angle exceeds the recline angle threshold; (d) providing a warning to a seat occupant when the recline angle exceeds the recline angle threshold, wherein the warning is configured to prompt a corrective action from the seat occupant; and (e) moving the seatback to a corrected position when the corrective action from the seat occupant is not received after a predetermined period of time.
