WARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the
Safety Canopy

௡ system, its fuses, the A, B, C or D pillar trim, or

the headliner on a vehicle containing a Safety Canopy

௡. See your

authorized dealer.

WARNING: All occupants of the vehicle including the driver
should always wear their safety belts even when an airbag SRS

and Safety Canopy

௡ system is provided.

WARNING: To reduce risk of injury, do not obstruct or place
objects in the deployment path of the inflatable Safety Canopy

௡.

How does the Safety Canopy

system work?

The design and development of the
Safety Canopy

௡ 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

௡).

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.
