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.
