[. . . ] The Safety Canopy 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 deployment. · The same readiness airbag light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used for the front airbags. · Two crash sensors mounted on the B pillar (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). 144 Seating and Safety Restraints · Rollover sensor in the restraints control module (RCM). 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, along the entire side of the vehicle. 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. Do not touch them after inflation. 145 Seating and Safety Restraints 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) must be inspected and serviced by an authorized dealer. If the Safety Canopy 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 Airbag readiness section in the Instrument Cluster chapter. Any difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following: · The readiness airbag light (same light as for front airbag system) will either flash or stay lit.
