The rollover protection system
consists of a reinforced windscreen
frame and anti-roll bars under covers
behind the rear head restraints.
In the event of a vehicle rollover,
head-on collision or side impact, the
anti-roll bars deploy upwards
automatically within milliseconds.
They also deploy together with the
front and side airbag systems.
Notice
Do not place any objects on the
covers of the anti-roll bars behind
the head restraints.
The airbag control indicator v
illuminates if the anti-roll bars have
been deployed.
The system deploys with the soft top
opened or closed.
The soft top must not be operated if
the anti-roll bars have been deployed.
A continuous warning will sound and

On all seats, stress on the body is
reduced by the gradual release of the belt during a collision.
Seat belt pretensioners In the event of a head-on or rear-endcollision of a certain severity, all seat
belts are tightened.9 Warning
Incorrect handling (e.g. removal or
fitting of belts) can trigger the belt
pretensioners.
