WARNING:
All occupants of the vehicle including the driver
should always wear their safety belts even when an airbag SRS
and Safety Canopy
威
system is provided.
WARNING:
To reduce risk of injury, do not obstruct or place
objects in the deployment path of the inflatable Safety Canopy
威
.
How does the Safety Canopy
姞
system work?
The design and development of the
Safety Canopy
威
system included
recommended testing procedures
that were developed by a group of
automotive safety experts known as
the Side Airbag Technical Working
Group. These recommended testing
procedures help reduce the risk of
injuries related to the deployment of
side airbags (including the Safety
Canopy
威
).
The Safety Canopy
威
system consists
of the following:
•
An inflatable nylon curtain with a
gas generator concealed behind
the headliner and above the doors
(one on each side of vehicle).
•
A headliner designed to flex open
above the side doors to allow
Safety Canopy
威
deployment.
•
The same readiness airbag light, electronic control and diagnostic unit
as used for the front airbags.
•
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).
