ensureALL remote entry transmittersare taken to the dealership to
aid in troubleshooting.
Arming the system
When armed, this system will help protect your vehicle from
unauthorized entry. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will
flash the turn signal lamps and side repeaters and honk the horn.

Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in
the second or third row seats. The Safety Canopywill 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 Canopysystem 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 Canopyinflation or when
a certain likelihood of a rollover event is detected by the rollover sensor.
The Safety Canopyis 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 Canopysystem will be activated,
regardless of which seats are occupied. In certain rollover events, the
Safety Canopyon both sides of the vehicle will be inflated, regardless
of which seats are occupied. The Safety Canopyis 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 Canopydid 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
Canopyis 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
likelihood.
Several Safety Canopy
system components get hot
after inflation. Do not touch them
after inflation.
If the Safety Canopysystem has deployed,the Safety
Canopywill not function again unless replaced. The
Safety Canopysystem (including the A, B, C, and D pillar
trim) must be inspected and serviced by a qualified technician
in accordance with the vehicle service manual.If the Safety
Canopyis not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of
injury in a collision.
