Roof Removal
The Prius V is equipped with side curtain airbags.
When undeployed, total roof removal is not recommended.
Patient access through the roof can be performed by cutting the
roof center section inboard of the roof rails as illustrated. This
would avoid breaching the side curtain airbags, inflators, and
wiring harness.
NOTE:
The side curtain airbags may be identified as illustrated on this page
(additional component details on page 16).
An optional transparent dark gray polycarbonate roof panel is
available for the Prius V. When cutting the roof center section, use
appropriate cutting tools for polycarbonate.
Dash Displacement
The Prius V is equipped with side curtain airbags. When
undeployed, total roof removal is not recommended to avoid
breaching the side curtain airbags, inflators, and wiring harness.
As an alternative, dash displacement may be performed by using
a Modified Dash Roll.
