Seating and Safety Restraints
The Safety Canopy is mounted to roof side-rail sheet metal, behind the
headliner, above the first and second row seats. 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
likelihood.
Several Safety Canopy
system components get hot
after inflation. Do not touch them
after inflation.
If the Safety Canopy system has deployed, the Sa fety
Ca nopy will not funct ion again unless repla ced. The
Sa fety Ca nopy syst em (inclu din g the A, B and C pilla r trim)
mu st be inspe ct ed and se rvice d by a author ize d de aler. 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 Airbag readin ess
section in the Instr umen t Cluster chapter. Routine maintenance of the
side airbag is not required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following:
•
•
The readiness light (same light as for front airbag system) will either
flash or stay lit.
The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is
turned on.
