NOTICE: Any surfaces that could come into contact with side air curtain (Safety Canopy
System) during deployment must not damage the curtain. Sharp edges, corners or
protrusions could damage the curtain and reduce the overall effectiveness of the side air
curtain.
Note: The side impact sensor is tuned to excite based on its mass (including wiring), as well as
the host sheet metal. Any alteration to these components must be avoided. Additions, such
as padding, wire connectors, retainers, tape or fasteners of any kind should not be used.
All fasteners in this predominantly sheet metal environment should be made of steel or a
non-conductive plastic to guarantee retention and longevity. If any part of a steel fastener
is exposed to a wet area, it should be plated to resist corrosion.
