•The occupant's back must be as upright
as comfort allows and be against the

fastened.
•Feet must be on the floor, e.g., not on
the dash, seat or out of the window.
WARNING
•No objects or accessory equipment,
e.g. dashboard covers, may be placed
on, attached to, or installed near the air
bag hatch (the area above the glove
compartment) or the area affected by
airbag deployment.
•There should be no loose articles, e.g.
coffee cups, on the floor, seat, or dash-
board area.
•Never try to open the airbag cover on
the steering wheel or the passenger's

01 Safety
Roll-over Protection system (ROPS)01
37 Introduction
G020797
Deployed ROPS roll bars
The ROPS system consists of two roll bars
located behind the rear seat head 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 of 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 qualified
Volvo service technician.
WARNING
•The rear seat of the Volvo C70 is
intended for two occupants, and only
two rear seat belts are provided. The
center section of the seat should never
be used to seat a passenger.
•No objects should be placed over the
roll bars or behind the rear seat head
restraints.
•All repairs or maintenance to the ROPS
system should only be performed by a
trained and qualified Volvo service tech-
nician.
