collisions or rollover events, the Safety Canopy
娂
system will be activated
on both sides of the vehicle, 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
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
air bag is not required.
