Seating and Safety Restraints All occupants of the vehicle including the driver should always wear their safety belts even when an airbag SRS and Safety Canopy system is provided. To reduce risk of injury, do not obstruct or place objects in the deployment path of the inflatable Safety Canopy. How does the Safety Canopyி system work? The design and development of the Safety Canopy 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 (including the Safety Canopy). The Safety Canopy system consists of the following: • An inflatable nylon curtain with a gas generator concealed behind the headliner and above the doors (one on each side of vehicle). • A headliner designed to flex open above the side doors to allow Safety Canopy deployment. • The same readiness airbag light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used for the front airbags. • Two crash sensors mounted on the B pillar (one on each side of the vehicle). • Two crash sensors located at the C pillar behind the rear doors (one on each side of the vehicle). • Rollover sensor in the restraints control module (RCM). 139 2007 Montego (mgo) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
