Roll-over Protection system
Roll-over Protection system (ROPS)
The ROPS system consists of two roll bars located behind the rear seat h\
ead restraints, and a sensor that
monitors the roll or pitch angle of the vehicle.
If the vehicle rolls or pitches beyond a preset angle, or in the event o\
f a rear-end collision of sufficient
force, the roll bars are automatically deployed (raised).
The ROPS system is designed to function regardless of whether the power \
retractable hard top is up or
down. By design, the tops of the roll bars are equipped with a point in \
order to pierce the rear window if
the top is up.
NOTE
If ROPS has deployed, the system should be inspected by a trained and qu\
alified Volvo service
technician.
WARNING
l The rear seat of the Volvo C70 is intended for two occupants, and only t\
wo rear seat belts are
provided. The center section of the seat should never be used to seat a \
passenger.
l No objects should be placed over the roll bars or behind the rear seat h\
ead restraints.
l All repairs or maintenance to the ROPS system should only be performed b\
y a trained Volvo service
technician.
