Occupant Protection
Even when there is no roof, a cabriolet has to provide
occupants with the maximum protection if the car rolls
over. In the Eos, this is provided by an active rollover
protection system in addition to the A-pillar
reinforcements and the doors. Like the New Beetle
Cabriolet, there is an active rollover element behind
each of the head restraints on the rear seat bench.
Together with the two A-pillars they secure the crash
survival space if the car rolls over.
The rollover protection is triggered by the airbag
control unit in severe front, side and rear collisions if
the car rolls over or tilts extremely.
