The Safety Canopy 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 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 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 inflation or when a

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

The Safety Canopy 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 system will be activated, regardless of which

seats are occupied. The Safety Canopy 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 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 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: If the Safety

Canopy system has

deployed, the Safety Canopy will

not function again unless replaced.

The Safety Canopy system

(including the A, B, C, and D

pillar trim and headliner) must be

inspected and serviced by an

authorized dealer. If the Safety

Canopy is not replaced, it will not

function again, which will increase
