The rollover protection
system is activated
automatically in the event of an accident of suf-
ficient severity or an extreme tilt in the car's lon-
gitudinal axis. The protection bars behind the
rear head restraints depl oy within fractions of a
second.
As a supplementary system to the reinforced
windshield frame, the rollover protection
system increases the safety of the vehicle
occupants.
Always keep the area of movement of the
rollover protection system clear.
In minor accidents, you are protected by the
fastened safety belt and, depending on acci-
dent severity, by the sa fety belt tensioner and
multi-phase airbag retention system. <

it there.
2. Push the protection bar halfway down from
above.
3. Release the locking lever. 4.

extended, do not operate the convertible
top.
Do not make any modifica tions to the individual
components of the rollover protection system
or its cabling.
Work on the rollover protection system should
