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.
Any 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.
•
A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat
periodically until the problem and light are repaired.
If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS serviced
at your dealership or by a qualified technician immediately. Unless
serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a collision
or rollover event.
Disposal of air bags and air bag equipped vehicles
(including pretensioners)
See your local dealership or qualified technician. Air bags MUST BE
disposed of by qualified personnel.
