Rollover protection system

The concept
The rollover protection system is automatically
activated in the event of a sufficiently serious
accident or if the longitudinal axis is tilted ex‐
cessively. The safety frames located behind the
rear headrests extend within fractions of a sec‐
ond.
Supplementing the reinforced front windshield
frame, the rollover protection system further in‐
creases passenger safety.

Always keep the movement space of the
rollover protection system clear. Otherwise,
there may be damage or injuries when the roll‐
over protection system is triggered.◀
Triggered rollover protection system
After deployment or damage
After deployment of the rollover protec‐
tion system or in the event of damage, have the
system checked and replaced.
Have this work performed only by your service
center; otherwise, it cannot be ensured that this
safety feature will function properly.◀

tended, do not move the convertible top. Oth‐
erwise, damages or injuries may result.◀

Push down the safety frame.
