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

the vehicle).

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

on each side of the vehicle).

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

The Safety Canopy威 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. The Safety Canopy威 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威 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威 inflation or when

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

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

headliner, above each row of seats. In certain lateral collisions or rollover

events, the Safety Canopy威 system will be activated, regardless of which

seats are occupied. The Safety Canopy威 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威 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威 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.

WARNING: Several Safety Canopy威 system components get hot

after inflation. Do not touch them after inflation.
