Rollover Protection System (ROPS)

Volvo's Roll-Over Protection System (ROPS) uti-
lizes the Roll Stability Control (RSC) function
and has been designed to help minimize the risk
of a rollover in emergency maneuvers or if a skid
should occur.
RSC uses a gyroscopic sensor that registers the
amount of change in the lateral angle at which
the vehicle is leaning. Using this information, RSC
calculates the likelihood of a rollover. If there is
an imminent risk of a rollover, the stability system
is activated, power to the engine is cut and the
brakes are applied to one or more of the wheels
until the vehicle regains stability.
WARNING
The vehicle's stability systems, including
ROPS and RSC, do not replace the driver's
responsibility for operating the vehicle in a
safe manner. Speed and driving style should
always be adapted to the current road, traffic
and weather conditions. Posted speed limits
should always be respected.
Crash mode – general information
