The Safety Canopy娂 is mounted to roof side-rail sheet metal, behind the

headliner, above the first and second row seats. 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 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.

If the Safety Canopy娂 system has deployed, the Safety

Canopy娂 will not function again unless replaced. The

Safety Canopy娂 system (including the A, B and C pillar trim)

must be inspected and serviced by a qualified technician in

accordance with the vehicle service manual. If the Safety

Canopy娂 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

side air bag 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 air bag system) will either

flash or stay lit.

• The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is

turned on.
