DANGER Risk of injury or death caused
by a malfunction of the roll bars
If the function of the roll bars is defective,
they may not extend in an accident for exam‐
ple.
Consequently, the roll bars cannot protect
vehicle occupants as they are designed to
do.
#
Have the roll bars checked immediately
at a qualified specialist workshop.
&
WARNING Risk of injury when the roll
bars are triggered
If the roll bars are triggered, there is a risk of
injury.
Always make sure that there is nothing in the
sweep of the roll bars.
&
WARNING Danger of injury or death
from obstructed roll bars
If you leave objects or items of clothing on
the covers of the roll bars, this may restrict
the roll bars as they extend.
Consequently, the roll bars cannot protect as
they are designed to do. Furthermore, the
objects may endanger vehicle occupants
when the roll bars extend.
#
Always make sure that there is nothing
in the sweep of the roll bars.
#
Always stow and secure objects in the
vehicle correctly.
The roll bars are under the covers behind the
rear head restraints. The roll bars are triggered
when danger of the vehicle rolling over is detec‐
ted.
Once the roll bars have been triggered, you can
no longer close a soft top that is open. In this
case, consult the next qualified specialist work‐
shop.
