The rollover protection system
consists of a reinforced windscreen
frame and anti-roll bars under covers
behind the rear head restraints.
In the event of a vehicle rollover,
head-on collision or side impact, the
anti-roll bars deploy upwards
automatically within milliseconds.
They also deploy together with the
front and side airbag systems.
Notice
Do not place any objects on the
covers of the anti-roll bars behind
the head restraints.
The airbag control indicator v
illuminates if the anti-roll bars have
been deployed.
