The system consists of the following:
•Safety Canopy curtain airbags abovethe trim panels over the front and rearside windows identified by a label orwording on the headliner or roof-pillartrim.
•A flexible headliner which opens abovethe side doors to allow air curtaindeployment
· Crash sensors and monitoringsystem with a readinessindicator. See Crash Sensorsand Airbag Indicator (page 43).
Properly restrain children 12 years old andunder in the rear seats. The Safety Canopywill not interfere with children restrainedusing a properly installed child or boosterseat because it is designed to inflatedownward from the headliner above thedoors along the side window opening.
The design and development of the SafetyCanopy included recommended testingprocedures that were developed by agroup of automotive safety experts knownas the Side Airbag Technical WorkingGroup. These recommended testingprocedures help reduce the risk of injuriesrelated to the deployment of side airbags(including the Safety Canopy).

The restraints control module alsomonitors the readiness of the above safetydevices plus the crash and occupantsensors. The readiness of the safetysystem is indicated by a warning indicatorlight in the instrument cluster or by abackup tone if the warning light is notworking. Routine maintenance of theairbag is not required.

Note:Keep the outside of the windshieldclean. The rain sensor is very sensitive andthe wipers may operate if dirt, mist orinsects hit the windshield.
If you leave autowipers on, it may notoperate when you switch the ignition onduring freezing temperatures. This isbecause the system has deactivated therain sensor to prevent damage to thewindshield wipers. Defrost the windshieldbefore reactivating the rain sensor. Youcan reactivate the rain sensor by movingthe rotary control or switching autowipersoff and on.
Note:Fully defrost the windshield beforeyou switch the windshield wipers on.
Note:Make sure that you switch thewindshield wipers off before entering a carwash.
Wet or winter weather conditions couldcause unexpected wiping or smearing.
To keep the windshield clear:
•Lower the sensitivity of the autowipersto reduce the amount of smearing onthe windshield.
•Switch autowipers off.
