Seating and Safety Restraints<br />

• A headliner that will flex to open above the side doors to allow Safety<br />

Canopy deployment.<br />

• The same warning light, <strong>el</strong>ectronic control and diagnostic unit as used<br />

for the front airbags.<br />

• Two side crash sensors mounted at the front doors (one on each side<br />

of the vehicle).<br />

• Two side crash sensors located at the c-pillar behind the rear doors<br />

(one on each side of the vehicle).<br />

• Roll over sensor in the restraints control module (RCM).<br />

The Safety Canopy system, in combination with safety b<strong>el</strong>ts, can h<strong>el</strong>p<br />

reduce the risk of severe injuries in the event of a significant side impact<br />

collision or rollover event.<br />

Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in<br />

the second or third row seats (if equipped). The Safety Canopy will<br />

not interfere with children restrained using a properly installed child or<br />

booster seat because it is designed to inflate downward from the<br />

headliner above the doors along the side window openings.<br />

The Safety Canopy system is designed to activate when the vehicle<br />

sustains lateral dec<strong>el</strong>eration sufficient to cause the side crash sensor to<br />

close an <strong>el</strong>ectrical circuit that initiates Safety Canopy inflation or when<br />

a certain lik<strong>el</strong>ihood of a rollover event is detected by the rollover sensor.<br />

The Safety Canopy is mounted to the roof side-rail sheet metal, behind<br />

the headliner, above the first and second row seats. In certain lateral<br />

collisions or rollover events, the Safety Canopy system will be<br />

activated, regardless of which seats are occupied. The Safety Canopy is<br />

designed to inflate between the side window area and occupants to<br />

further enhance protection provided in side impact collisions and rollover<br />

events.<br />

The fact that the Safety Canopy system did not activate in a collision<br />

does not mean that something is wrong with the system. Rather, it<br />

means the forces were not of the type sufficient to cause activation. The<br />

Safety Canopy is designed to inflate in certain side impact collisions or<br />

rollover events, not in rear impact, frontal or near-frontal collisions,<br />

unless the collision causes sufficient lateral dec<strong>el</strong>eration or rollover<br />

lik<strong>el</strong>ihood.<br />

Several Safety Canopy system components get hot after<br />

inflation. Do not touch them after inflation.<br />
