close an electrical circuit that initiates Safety Canopyy inflation or when
a certain likelihood of a rollover event is detected by the rollover sensor.
The Safety Canopyy is mounted to the roof side-rail sheet metal, behind
the headliner, above the first and second row seats. In certain lateral
collisions or rollover events, the Safety Canopyy system will be
activated, regardless of which seats are occupied. The Safety Canopyy is
designed to inflate between the side window area and occupants to
further enhance protection provided in side impact collisions and rollover
events.
The fact that the Safety Canopyy system did not activate in a collision
does not mean that something is wrong with the system. Rather, it
means the forces were not of the type sufficient to cause activation. The
Safety Canopyy is designed to inflate in certain side impact collisions or
rollover events, not in rear impact, frontal or near-frontal collisions,
unless the collision causes sufficient lateral deceleration or rollover
likelihood.
Several Safety Canopyy
system components get hot
after inflation. Do not touch them
after inflation.
If the Safety Canopyy
system has deployed, the
Safety Canopyy will not
function again. The Safety
Canopyy system (including the
A, B and C pillar trim) must be
inspected and serviced by a
qualified technician in
accordance with the vehicle
service manual. If the Safety
Canopyy is not replaced, the
unrepaired area will increase the
risk of injury in a collision.
