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. Routine maintenance of the
airbag is not required.
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.
The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is
turned on.
A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat
periodically until the problem and light are repaired.
If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS serviced
at your an authorized dealer immediately. Unless serviced, the system
may not function properly in the event of a collision or rollover event.
Disposal of airbags and airbag equipped vehicles (including
pretensioners)
See your authorized dealer. Airbags MUST BE disposed of by qualified
personnel.
