Stowing the Automatic Rollover Support System®

Fig. 174 Deployed rollover protection support behind the rear seat backrest.

Volkswagen recommends having the work performed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Do not attempt to push the deployed rollover supports back down unless this is absolutely necessary. When the CSC roof is down, the deployed rollover supports push against the CSC roof and are under considerable tension. For this reason, a lot of strength is required to push and hold the supports down, and you must assume a very uncomfortable position while doing so:
x Push the release lever ⇒ fig. 174 (1) in the direction of the arrow (2) and hold it in this position.
x Then, push down the top part of the rollover support down about 11.8 inches (30 cm) (3) and let go of the release lever (1).
x Make sure that nobody touches the release lever when the support is pushed down the rest of the way.
x Push the support down completely until it locks into place.
WARNING
Stowing the deployed rollover supports can be dangerous and can lead to serious injury.
x Do not try to push the rollover support back down if there is any object in its channel. A foreign object can keep the rollover support system from working or locking properly or cause it to deploy unexpectedly.
x The rollover protection supports must properly lock into place after being stowed. Otherwise, they can deploy unexpectedly.

WARNING
Changing a wheel, especially on the side of the road, can be dangerous. To help reduce the risk of serious personal injury:
x Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. Move the vehicle a safe distance off the road where it is safe to change the wheel.
x Always make sure that all passengers, especially children, are in a safe place outside the vehicle and away from the vehicle and traffic (such as behind a guard rail).

x Always use proper and undamaged tools when changing a wheel.
x Once a wheel is lifted off the ground, having the transmission in Park (P) or in gear will not prevent sudden vehicle movement.
x Always use a jack that has been approved by the manufacturer for your vehicle. Never use other jacks, even if they have been approved for use on other Volkswagen models.
x To reduce the risk of losing control, crashes, and serious personal injuries, never loosen the screws on rims with threaded rim rings.
