Safety Canopy - Vehicles Built up to 30 July 2012: Installation

WARNING: Before installing a Safety Canopy or side air curtain assembly, 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: Inspect a Safety Canopy® or side air curtain module before installation. If the module is damaged, the cover has separated or the Safety Canopy® or side air curtain material has been exposed, install a new module. Do not attempt to repair the module. 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: Never put any type of fastener or tie strap around any part of a Safety Canopy® module, side air curtain module or interior trim panel. This will prevent the Safety Canopy® or side air curtain module from deploying correctly. Failure to follow this instruction may increase the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.

WARNING: Do not obstruct or place objects in the deployment path of the Safety Canopy® or side air curtain module. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the Safety Canopy® or side air curtain module deploying incorrectly and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
