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).
CRASH SENSORS AND
AIRBAG INDICATOR
WARNING
Modifying or adding equipment tothe front end of your vehicle(including hood, bumper system,frame, front end body structure, tow hooksand hood pins) may affect theperformance of the airbag system,increasing the risk of injury. Do not modifyor add equipment to the front end of yourvehicle.
Your vehicle has a collection of crash andoccupant sensors which provideinformation to the restraints controlmodule. The restraints control moduledeploys (activates) the front seatbeltpretensioners, driver airbag, passengerairbag, knee airbag(s), seat mounted sideairbags and Safety Canopy airbags. Basedon the type of crash, the restraints controlmodule deploys the appropriate safetydevices.
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.
A difficulty with the system is indicated byone or more of the following:

KEYLESS ENTRY (If Equipped)
General Information
Note:The system may not function if thekey is close to metal objects or electronicdevices such as cell phones.
The system will not function if:
•Your vehicle battery has no charge.
•The passive key frequencies arejammed.
•The passive key battery is flat.
Note:If the system does not function, youwill need to use the key blade to lock andunlock your vehicle.
The system allows you to operate yourvehicle without the use of a key or remotecontrol.
Locking and unlocking requires a validintelligent access key to be located withinone of the there external detection ranges.These are located approximately 5 ft (1 m)from the front door handles and from theswing gate handle. You can also use theIntelligent Access key as a remote control.See Locking and Unlocking (page 54).
Locking Using Intelligent Access
Touch the outer door handle lock sensorfor approximately one second to lock,being careful to not touch the unlocksensor on the back of the door handle atthe same time. After locking, you canimmediately pull on the door handle toconfirm locking occurred withoutinadvertently unlocking.
Note:Your vehicle does not lock itselfautomatically. If you do not lock, yourvehicle will remain unlocked.
Note:Locking touch surfaces are locatedon each of the front doors.
For central locking and to arm the alarm:
•Touch the locking surface once.
After locking the doors with the locksensor, there is a brief delay before you canunlock your vehicle.
This delay lets you pull the handle to makesure your vehicle is locked.
Note:When the delay period is over, youcan open the doors again, provided theIntelligent Access is within the respectivedetection range.
Two short flashes of the directionindicators confirms that all the doors andswing gate have been locked and that thealarm (if equipped) has been armed.

Note:Your vehicle remains locked forlonger than three days, the system will enteran energy-saving mode. This is to reducethe discharge of your vehicle battery. Whenyour vehicle is unlocked while in this mode,the reaction time of the system may be alittle longer than normal. To exit theenergy-saving mode, unlock your vehicle.
With your intelligent access key within 5 ft(1 m) of your vehicle, touch the unlocksensor on the back of the door handle fora brief period and then pull on the doorhandle to unlock, being careful to nottouch the lock sensor at the same time orpulling the door handle too quickly. Theintelligent access system requires a briefdelay to authenticate your intelligentaccess key fob.
Note:Keep the door handle clean to makesure the system operates correctly.
Note:A valid passive key must be locatedwithin the detection range of that door.
One long flash of the direction indicatorsconfirms that all the doors and swing gatehave been unlocked and that the alarm (ifequipped) has been disarmed.
Unlocking only Driver Door
If the unlocking function is reprogrammedso that only the driver door is unlocked SeeRemote Control (page 45). Note thefollowing:
If the driver door is the first door which isunlocked, the other doors and swing gatewill remain locked.

Note:Fully defrost the windshield beforeyou switch the windshield wipers on.
Note:Make sure you switch the windshieldwipers off before entering a car wash.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on thewindshield, clean the windshield and thewiper blades. See Checking the WiperBlades (page 215). If that does not resolvethe issue, install new wiper blades. SeeGeneral Information (page 85).
Note: Do not operate the wipers on a drywindshield. This may scratch the glass ordamage the wiper blades. Always use thewindshield washers before wiping a drywindshield.
Intermittent Wipe

Use the rotary control to adjust theintermittent wipe interval.
Speed Dependent Wipers (If Equipped)
When your vehicle speed increases, theinterval between wipes decreases.
AUTOWIPERS (If Equipped)
Autowipers uses a rain sensor in the areaaround the interior mirror. The wipersoperate when the rain sensor detectswater on the windshield in front of it. Therain sensor continues to monitor theamount of water and adjusts the speed ofthe wipers.
You can switch autowipers off in theinformation display. See Autowipers(page 67). If you switch autowipers off,the windshield wipers operate inintermittent mode.

High sensitivity.A
Autowipers on.B
Low sensitivity.C
Move the wiper lever upward to the firstposition to switch autowipers on.
Use the rotary control to adjust thesensitivity of the autowipers. When youselect low sensitivity, the wipers operatewhen the sensor detects a large amountof water on the windshield. When youselect high sensitivity, the wipers operatewhen the sensor detects a small amountof water on the windshield.
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.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on thewindshield, clean the windshield and thewiper blades. If that does not resolve theissue, install new wiper blades. SeeAutowipers (page 67).
WINDSHIELD WASHERS
Pull the lever toward you to operate thewindshield washers. When you release thelever, the wipers operate for a short time.A courtesy wipe occurs a short time afterthe wipers stop to clear any remainingwasher fluid.
Note: Do not operate the washers whenthe washer reservoir is empty. This couldcause the washer pump to overheat.
Heated Washer Jets (If Equipped)
The system heats the washer fluid whenthe heated windshield is on.
