Roll-over protection

The roll-over protection is part of the car’s

crash safety system and consists of a roll

bar behind each rear seat head restraint,

the windshield frame and the seatbelt pre-

tensioners.

The roll bars and seatbelt pretensioners are

deployed automatically if the car turns over

as a result of a crash. These are also

deployed in frontal and side-on crashes.

If the roll bars are deployed for any other

reason, they can be pushed back manually.

A catch by each roll bar must first be

released. The soft top cannot be operated

while the roll bars are extended.

1 Release the catch and press the roll bar

forcibly down until it locks in position.

2 Fit the two covers.

If the roll bars have been lowered manually,

you must have the system checked immedi-

ately at a Saab dealer.

WARNING

• The roll bars have powerful springs

that rapidly extend the bars in the

event of an crash/roll-over. If the bars

are not locked they may cause per-

sonal injury.

• If the bars are pushed back down

manually they will not provide the

intended protection in the event of a

crash/roll-over.
