Roll Bars

Warning
Vehicle rollovers are
unpredictable and dangerous
events that may result in injury or
death regardless of the roll bar or
any other feature. No feature can
fully protect an occupant in every
crash, including a rollover.
The roll bars are under covers
behind the rear head restraints. The
roll bars are designed to deploy if
the sensing system predicts that the
vehicle is about to roll over on its
side. In addition, the roll bars are
designed to deploy in moderate to
severe side crashes depending on
the location of the impact, as well as
in a severe frontal impact. Roll bars
are not designed to deploy in rear
impacts.
The roll bars deploy with the
convertible top open or closed. If the
roll bars deploy, do not operate the
convertible top.
Do not place any objects on the
covers of the roll bars behind the
head restraints.
Have the roll bars checked if the
vehicle has been in a crash, or if the
airbag readiness light stays on after
starting or driving the vehicle. See
Airbag Readiness Light 0 101.
Passenger Sensing
System
The vehicle has a passenger
sensing system for the front
outboard passenger position. The
passenger airbag status indicator
will light on the center stack when
the vehicle is started.
The words ON and OFF will be
visible during the system check.
When the system check is
complete, either the word ON or the
word OFF will be visible. See
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 0 101.
The passenger sensing system
turns off the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag and knee
airbag under certain conditions. No
other airbag is affected by the

passenger sensing system.

The passenger sensing system
works with sensors that are part of
the front outboard passenger seat.
The sensors are designed to detect
the presence of a properly seated
occupant and determine if the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
and knee airbag should be allowed
to inflate or not.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
secured in a rear seat in the correct
child restraint for their weight
and size.
