Note: The passenger sensing system will
deactivate the passenger seat-mounted side
airbag if it detects an empty passenger seat.
The design and development of the side
airbag 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.
DRIVER KNEE AIRBAG
A driver's knee airbag is located under the
instrument panel. During a crash, the
restraints control module may activate the
driver's knee airbag based on crash severity
and occupant conditions. Under certain crash
and occupant conditions, the drivers knee
airbag may deploy but the drivers front
airbag may not activate. As with front and
side airbags, it is important to be properly
seated and restrained to reduce the risk of
death or serious injury.

Make sure the knee airbag is
operating properly. See Crash
Sensors and Airbag Indicator
(page 51).
SAFETY CANOPY
WARNINGS
Do not place objects or mount
equipment on or near the headliner at
the siderail that may come into contact with
a deploying curtain airbag. Failure to follow
these instructions may increase the risk of
personal injury in the event of a crash.
Do not lean your head on the door. The
curtain airbag could injure you as it
deploys from the headliner.
Do not attempt to service, repair, or
modify the supplementary restraint
system or associated components. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.
WARNINGS
All occupants of your vehicle, including
the driver, should always properly wear
their seatbelts, even when an airbag
supplemental restraint system is provided.
Failure to properly wear your seatbelt could
seriously increase the risk of injury or death.
To reduce risk of injury, do not obstruct
or place objects in the deployment
path of the airbag.
If a supplementary restraint system
component has deployed, it will not
function again. Have the system and
associated components inspected as soon
as possible. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death.
The Safety Canopy deploys during significant
side crashes or when a certain likelihood of
a rollover event is detected by the rollover
sensor. The Safety Canopy is mounted to
the roof side rail sheet metal, behind the
headliner, above each row of seats. In certain
sideways crashes or rollover events, the
