• two rollbars
• the safety belts with belt tensioners
• the windshield frame
• the rollover sensors
The active rollover protection system provides additional safety in the
event of a ro llover. Within milliseconds, sensors deploy two rollbars
located behind the headrests in the rear seats => fig. 182.
The rollbars, reinforced windshie ld frame and belt tensioners help
protect front and rear passengers in the event of a rollover .
The rollover protection system functions when the power top is both
open and closed.
& WARNING
Do not use the area behind the rear seat headrests=> fig. 181 as a
storage area. This is the area where the rollbars deploy. If the roll­
over protection system is triggered, objects placed there can be
propelled through the vehicle and make it more difficult for the
rollbars to deploy . This increases the risk for serious or life-threat­
ening injuries . •
When Is rollover protection deployed?
Rollover protection deploys in a collision or rollover.
Depending on the collision, sensors throughout the vehicle and the
control module trigger the rollover system to deploy.
For safety reasons, rollover protection also deploys during front, side
and rea r collisions above a certain level of severity .•
