Deployable Rollbars - Aston Martin Vantage S 2016 Owner's Manual

12. While the roof is
being held down
with the two lock
arms located in
their catches, use
the Allen key, from
the vehicle tool
kit, to lock the roof
in position.
The Allen key must
be turned many times
to lock the roof.
13. Continue to turn the Allen key until
no more movement is possible.
Do not use power tools. The roof
manual lock and unlock mechanism
may be damaged if power tools, i.e. an
electric drill, are used to lock or unlock
the roof.

Deployable Rollbars

Warning: Do not attempt to service or modify the deployable
rollbar system.
Warning: Do not allow any person to sit on the deployable
rollbar covers at any time.
Warning: Do not place any objects on the top of the
deployable rollbar covers.
Warning: Do not attempt to reset the deployable rollbar
system after it has deployed.
Warning: Do not attempt to raise or lower the roof after the
deployable rollbar system has deployed.
If the roof is raised the deployable rollbars will break through
the rear glass.
Extreme manoeuvres may cause the system to predict a roll
over and deploy the rollbars for protection of the occupants. If
such driving events are anticipated by the customer (e.g. track day
driving) the roof should be fully lowered to let the rollbars deploy
without damaging the vehicle.
The deployable rollbar system and the airbag system react
independently. The deployable rollbars and the airbags may deploy
together or alone, depending on the type of impact.
The deployable rollover system has
electronic sensors mounted to the
vehicle body that monitors and
determines if a rollover has taken
place. If the system senses a
rollover, two 'U' shaped roll bars,
concealed by trim panels in the
tonneau lid (A), will deploy to
protect vehicle occupants.
If the deployable rollbar system has
been deployed, contact your
nearest Aston Martin Dealer.
