•
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.
