Roll-over Protection System

01
Roll-over Protection system (ROPS)
Deployed ROPS roll bars
The ROPS system consists of two roll bars
located behind the rear seat head restraints,
and a sensor that monitors the roll or pitch
angle of the vehicle.
If the vehicle rolls or pitches beyond a preset
angle, or in the event of a rear-end collision
of sufficient force, the roll bars are automati-
cally deployed (raised).
The ROPS system is designed to function
regardless of whether the power retractable
hard top is up or down. By design, the tops
of the roll bars are equipped with a point in
28
order to pierce the rear window if the top is
up.
NOTE
If ROPS has deployed, the system should
be inspected by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
WARNING
• The rear seat of the Volvo C70 is intended
for two occupants, and only two rear seat
belts are provided. The center section of the
seat should never be used to seat a passen-
ger.
• No objects should be placed over the roll
bars or behind the rear seat head restraints.
• All repairs or maintenance to the ROPS
system should only be performed by a
trained Volvo service technician.
