How does the Safety Canopy姟 system work?

The design and development of the

Safety Canopy娂 system included

recommended testing procedures

that were developed by a group of

automotive safety experts known as

the Side Air Bag Technical Working

Group. These recommended testing

procedures help reduce the risk of

injuries related to the deployment of

side airbags (including the Safety

Canopy娂).

The Safety Canopy娂 system

consists of the following:

• An inflatable nylon curtain with a

gas generator concealed behind

the headliner and above the doors

(one on each side of vehicle).

• A headliner designed to flex open

above the side doors to allow Safety Canopy娂 deployment.

• The same warning light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used

for the front airbags.

• Two crash sensors mounted in the front doors (one on each side).

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

on each side).

• Rollover sensor in the restraints control module (RCM).

The Safety Canopy娂 system, in combination with seat 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. 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 opening.

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.
