Roll-Over Bar System

Our active roll-over protection system is situated behind the rear head restraints. It works with the reinforced windscreen frame to provide extra crash protection for all the occupants. At the heart of the system are sensors that 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 within 250 milliseconds.
