open or closed position.
Check if: ■ Load compartment blind is engaged in closed position
■ Boot lid is completely closed
■ Outside temperature is above -20 °C

Rollover protection system The Astra TwinTop is equipped with
rollover protection with reinforced
windscreen frame and anti-roll bars
behind the rear seat head restraints.
Depending on the variant, the anti-roll
bars are either fixed or deploy
automatically in the event of an
impact of a certain severity.
Fixed anti-roll barsFixed anti-roll bars are secured to the vehicle bodywork.
Deployable anti-roll bars
Deployable anti-roll bars are located
between the rear head restraints and the boot lid. In the event of a rollover, head-on collision or side impact, the
anti-roll bars deploy upwards within
milliseconds. They also deploy
together with the front and side airbag
systems.
The system deploys with the roof
open or closed.

44Keys, doors and windows
The convertible roof must not be
operated if the anti-roll bars have
been deployed. A continuous warning will sound if the switch is actuated.
The airbag control indicator v
illuminates if the anti-roll bars have
been deployed.
Note
Do not place any objects on the
covers of the anti-roll bars behind
the head restraints.
Extended anti-roll bars can be
retracted (e.g. in order to close the
roof after a collision).
Press the lever between the rods of
an anti-roll bar to unlock the system.
Push the anti-roll bar all the way down
until it engages. Fit the cover.
Repeat the procedure on the other
anti-roll bar.
Control indicator v will remain
illuminated and the anti-roll bars will not deploy in the event of another
collision. Seek the assistance of a workshop.9 Warning
The roof cannot be closed or
opened if the anti-roll bars are
extended. The anti-roll bars must
first be retracted.
After deployment of the anti-roll
bar, have the system repaired by
a workshop immediately.
Manually retracted anti-roll bars
will not deploy in the event of a
collision.
