The Automatic Rollover Support System consists of:
- Two rollover bars
- The seat belts and belt tensioners
- The windscreen frame
- The rollover sensor system
The Automatic Rollover Support System offers additional safety if the vehicle should overturn in an accident. In response to signals from the rollover sensors, the system deploys two rollover bars behind the rear head restraints Fig. 272►
within just a few milliseconds.
In conjunction with the seat belt tensioners and the reinforced windscreen frame, the rollover bars help to protect the front and rear occupants if the vehicle overturns.
The Automatic Rollover Support System is effective both when the soft top is open and when it is closed.
WARNING
Do not store any objects in the space behind the rear head restraints Fig. 271►
. This is the area where the rollover bars are deployed if the system is triggered. Any items left in this space could be thrown through the interior or could prevent the rollover bars from deploying quickly, resulting in serious or potentially fatal injury.
