WARNING:All occupants of the vehicle including the driver
should always wear their safety belts even when an airbag SRS
and curtain airbag is provided.
WARNING:To reduce risk of injury, do not obstruct or place
objects in the deployment path of the curtain airbag.
WARNING:If the curtain airbags have deployed, the curtain
airbags will not function again. The curtain airbags (including the
A, B, C or D pillar trim and headliner) must be inspected and serviced
by an authorized dealer. If the curtain airbag is not replaced, the
unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision.
The Safety Canopy will deploy during significant side collisions 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 lateral collisions or
rollover events, the Safety Canopy will be activated, regardless of which
seats are occupied. The Safety Canopy is designed to inflate between the
side window area and occupants to further enhance protection provided
in side impact collisions and rollover events.
The system consists of the
following:
•Safety canopy curtain airbags
fitted above the trim panels over
the front and rear side windows
identified by a label or wording
on the headliner or roof-pillar
trim.
•A flexible headliner which opens above the side doors to allow air
curtain deployment.
•Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness
indicator. Refer toCrash sensors and Airbag Indicatorlater
in this chapter.
58Supplementary Restraints System
2013 MKT(mkt)
Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing
USA(fus)
Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in
the second or third row seats. The Safety Canopy will 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 design and development of the Safety Canopy 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).
CRASH SENSORS AND AIRBAG INDICATOR
WARNING:Modifying or adding equipment to the front end of
the vehicle (including frame, bumper, front end body structure
and tow hooks) may affect the performance of the airbag system,
increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify the front end of the vehicle.
The vehicle has a collection of crash and occupant sensors which provide
information to the Restraints Control Module (RCM) which deploys
(activates) the front safety belt pretensioners, rear inflatable safety belts,
driver airbag, passenger airbag, passenger knee airbag, seat mounted side
airbags, and the Safety Canopy. Based on the type of accident (frontal
impact, side impact or rollover) the restraints control module will deploy
the appropriate safety devices.
The restraints control module also monitors the readiness of the above
safety devices plus the crash and occupant sensors. The readiness of the
safety system is indicated by a warning indicator light in the instrument
cluster or by a backup tone if the warning light is not working. Refer to
Warning lamps and Indicatorsin theInstrument Clusterchapter.
Routine maintenance of the airbag is not required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following:
•The readiness light will either flash or stay lit.
•The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after the
ignition is turned on.
•A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat
periodically until the problem and/or light are repaired.
If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the supplemental
restraint system serviced at an authorized dealer immediately. Unless
serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a collision.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The remote control allows you to:
•remotely lock or unlock the vehicle doors
•remotely open the power liftgate
•remotely start or stop the engine (if equipped)
•arm and disarm the anti-theft system.
•activate the panic alarm
•activate the global windows.
Intelligent Access
Your vehicle will allow you to unlock and enter your vehicle without
actively using a key or remote control. You can use this feature at the
front doors or at the liftgate or trunk. You can activate the intelligent
access feature as long as you have one of your intelligent access keys
within range of the front doors or the liftgate or trunk.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES
The remote control complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and with
RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
Note:Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
The typical operating range for your transmitter is approximately 33 feet
(10 meters). Vehicles with the remote start feature will have a greater
range. A decrease in operating range could be caused by:
•weather conditions
•nearby radio towers
•structures around the vehicle
•other vehicles parked next to your vehicle.
Intelligent Access
The system uses a radio frequency signal to communicate with your
vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock when commanded (either by
touching the inside of the driver door or front passenger exterior door

2.Press the remote start button twice. The exterior lamps will flash twice.
The horn will chirp if the system fails to start (unless quiet start is on).
Quiet start will run the blower fan at a slower speed to reduce noise. It
can be switched on or off. Refer to theInformation Displayschapter.
Note:If the vehicle has been remote started you must press the
START/STOP button on the instrument panel once while applying the
brake pedal before driving the vehicle.
The power windows will be inhibited during the remote start and the
radio will not turn on automatically.
The parking lamps will remain on and the engine will run for 5, 10, or
15 minutes, depending on the setting. Refer to theInformation Displays
chapter to select the duration of the remote start system.
Extending the Engine Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the engine still running to extend the run time
for another remote start duration. If you programmed the duration to last
10 minutes, the second 10 minutes will begin after what is left of the first
activation time. For example, if the vehicle had been running from the first
remote start for five minutes, the engine will continue to run now for a
total of 15 minutes. You can only extend the remote start once.
Wait at least five seconds before remote starting after an engine
shutdown. Only two remote starts are allowed.
The ignition must be turned on and then back off or allow one hour to
pass before using remote start again if additional remote starts are
desired.
Turning the Engine Off After Remote Starting
Press the button once. The parking lamps will turn off.
You may have to be closer to the vehicle than when starting due to
ground reflection and the added noise of the running engine.
You can disable or enable the remote start system through the
information display. Refer to theInformation Displaychapter.
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR REMOTE CONTROL
Replacement or additional keys or remote controls can be purchased
from your authorized dealer. Your dealer can program the transmitters to
your vehicle or you may be able to program them yourself. Refer to the
Securitychapter for information on programming your transmitters.
