Your safety is our number one priority Rollover crashes are rare, but even so, we would rather be safe than sorry. The Beetle Cabriolet has been engineered to provide passenger protection no matter how severe the incident. How it works At the heart of the sophisticated system are sensors which constantly monitor the car's progress. Should they detect the risk of a rollover or impact a dual-lever release system automatically turns the rear head restraints into a pair of robust rollover bars. These bars are housed in special cassettes bolted to the luggage compartment wall behind the rear seats. Once activated, they shoot upwards, and are securely locked into place. And it all happens in milliseconds. After all, the most important thing to any driver is safety.
