The Safety Canopy is mounted to roof side-rail sheet metal, behind the
headliner, along the entire side of the vehicle. In certain lateral collisions
or rollover events, the Safety Canopy system will be activated,
regardless of which seats are occupied. The Safety Canopy 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 Canopy 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
Canopy 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.
Several Safety Canopy system components get hot after
inflation. Do not touch them after inflation.
If the Safety Canopy
system has deployed, the
Safety Canopy will not
function again unless replaced.
The Safety Canopy system
(including the A, B, C, and D
pillar trim) must be inspected
and serviced by a qualified
technician in accordance with
the vehicle service manual. If
the Safety Canopy is not
replaced, the unrepaired area will
increase the risk of injury in a
collision.
Determining if the system is operational
The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to
indicate the condition of the system. Refer to the Air bag readiness
section in the Instrument Cluster chapter. Routine maintenance of the
air bag is not required.
Any difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following:
The readiness airbag light (same light as for front air bag system) will
either flash or stay lit.
