Rollover protection system 
The rollover protection system is automati-
cally activated in the event of an accident 
or a critical driving situation, extreme incli-
nation on the longitudinal or transverse 
axis, or loss of ground contact. The rollover 
bars located behind the rear head 
restraints move out within fractions of a 
second.
As a supplement to the rollover bar inte-
grated in the windshield frame, the rollover 
protection system ensures that all vehicle 
occupants have the necessary headroom.
Always keep the path of movement of 
the rollover protection system clear.
In less severe accidents, you are protected 
by the fastened safety belt and, depending 
on the severity of the accident, the belt ten-
sioner and the multistage airbag restraint 
system.
