• Two side crash sensors mounted at the base of the B-pillar (one on

each side of the vehicle).

• Two side crash sensors located at the c-pillar behind the rear doors

(one on each side of the vehicle).

• Roll over sensor in the restraints control module (RCM).

The Safety Canopy娂 system, in combination with safety belts, can help

reduce the risk of severe injuries in the event of a significant side impact

collision or rollover event.

Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in

the second or third row seats (if equipped). The Safety Canopy娂 will

not interfere with children restrained using a properly installed child or

booster seat because it is designed to inflate downward from the

headliner above the doors along the side window openings.

The Safety Canopy娂 system is designed to activate when the vehicle

sustains lateral deceleration sufficient to cause the side crash sensor to

close an electrical circuit that initiates Safety Canopy娂 inflation or when

a certain likelihood of a rollover event is detected by the rollover sensor.

The Safety Canopy娂 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 Canopy娂 system will be

activated, regardless of which seats are occupied. The Safety Canopy娂 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娂 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 Canopy娂 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娂 system components get hot after

inflation. Do not touch them after inflation.
