Roll-Over Protection System (ROPS)

01
ROPS function
Roll bars in raised position.
The ROPS system consists of strong roll bars
which are located behind the passengers'
head restraints, as well as sensors. In the event
of a situation where the car is at risk of over-
turning, or in the event of a sufficiently violent
collision from behind, the sensors detect this
and the roll bars rise up behind the passengers'
heads. The roll bars are deployed irrespective
of whether the roof is open or closed.
Volvo recommends that you always contact an
authorised Volvo workshop if the ROPS system
has deployed.
