Roll-Over Protection
With the Cabriolet , a roll-over protection system
installed behind the rear seats is extended within
fractions of a second in the event of accidents or
extreme driving situations. If necessary, the seat-
belt tensioners will be activated.
f Please observe the chapter “BELT
TENSIONER” on page 31.
Extreme driving situations include
– Extreme tilting or leaning (vehicle threatening
to roll over to the side, or to roll over in the fore
and aft direction),
– The vehicle lifting from the road
(e.g. by jumping over a hump).
The roll-over protection system consists of two
roll-over bars that, together with the windscreen
frame, ensure sufficient headroom for all
occupants if the vehicle should roll over.
Caution!
Risk of damage to the convertible top and
roll-over bars.
f Do not open or close the convertible top with
the roll-over bars extended.
Safety notes!
f Always keep space clear for the roll-over bars
to move.
f
No modifications should be made to the wiring
or components of the roll-over protection
system.
f If the roll-over protection system is in any way
faulty, consult a qualified specialist workshop.
We recommend a Porsche partner for this
work as they have trained workshop personnel
and the necessary parts and tools.
f
Have the operational readiness of the airbag
system checked at the specified maintenance
intervals.
If a fault is present in the roll-over bar system, a
message appears on the on-board computer.
Extension of the roll-over bars is no longer
ensured.
f
Have the fault repaired without delay.
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
