2007 Volvo C70
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

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.
