01 Safety Roll-over Protection system (ROPS) Introduction NOTE If ROPS has deployed, the system should be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. 01 WARNING • The rear seat of the Volvo C70 is intended for two occupants, and only two rear seat belts are provided. The center section of the seat should never be used to seat a passenger. No objects should be placed over the roll bars or behind the rear seat head restraints. All repairs or maintenance to the ROPS system should only be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. Deployed ROPS roll bars G020797 • • The ROPS system consists of two roll bars located behind the rear seat head restraints, and a sensor that monitors the roll or pitch angle of the vehicle. If the vehicle rolls or pitches beyond a preset angle, or in the event of a rear-end collision of sufficient force, the roll bars are automatically deployed (raised). The ROPS system is designed to function regardless of whether the power retractable hard top is up or down. By design, the tops of the roll bars are equipped with a point in order to pierce the rear window if the top is up. 33
