Failure to precisely follow depowering instructions could result in serious personal injury from an accidental deployment.

WARNING: Before installing a Safety Canopy® or side air curtain module, inspect the roofline for any damage. If necessary, the sheet metal must be reworked to its original condition and structural integrity. Install new fasteners if damaged and remove foreign material. Failure to follow these instructions may result in the Safety Canopy® or side air curtain deploying incorrectly, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.

WARNING: Anytime the side curtain airbag has deployed, a new headliner and new roof pillar upper trim panels with attaching hardware must be installed. Make sure the headliner includes the word AIRBAG where it meets each roof B-pillar trim panel. Remove any other damaged components or hardware and replace with new. Failure to follow these instructions may result in the side curtain airbag deploying incorrectly and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
