46Keys, doors and windowsRollover protection system
The rollover protection system
consists of a reinforced windscreen
frame and roll bars under covers
behind the rear head restraints.
In the event of a vehicle rollover,
head-on collision or side impact, the
roll bars deploy upwards
automatically within milliseconds.
They also deploy together with the
front and side airbag systems.
Note
Do not place any objects on the
covers of the roll bars behind the
head restraints.
The airbag control indicator v
illuminates if the roll bars have been
deployed.
The system deploys with the soft top
opened or closed.
The soft top must not be operated if
the roll bars have been deployed. A
continuous warning will sound and a
message appears in the Driver

56Seats, restraintsSeat belts
The seat belts are locked during hardacceleration or deceleration of the
vehicle holding the occupants in the
seat position. Therefore the risk of
injury is considerably reduced.

not wearing seat belts endanger their fellow occupants and
themselves.
Seat belts are designed to be used by only one person at a time. Child
restraint system 3 64.
Periodically check all parts of the belt
system for damage, soiling and
proper functionality.
Have damaged components
replaced. After an accident, have the
belts and triggered belt pretensioners replaced by a workshop.
Note
Make sure that the belts are not
damaged by shoes or sharp-edged
objects or trapped. Prevent dirt from
getting into the belt retractors.

airbag in each front seat backrest.
This can be identified by the word
AIRBAG .
The side airbag system is triggered in the event of a side impact of a certain
severity. The ignition must be
switched on.

impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the head and upper body in
the event of a side-on collision
considerably.
9 Warning

inflates clear of obstructions.
Note
Only use protective seat covers that
have been approved for the vehicle.Be careful not to cover the airbags.
