Rollover Pop-up Bars
The Rollover Pop Up Bars, which are
located behind each rear seat head
restraint, are designed to deploy in the
event of a crash or rollover.
WARNING
You can be severely injured or killed in a
crash if you are not wearing your safety
belt - even if you have airbags and Roll-
over Pop Up Bars. Wearing your safety
belt during a crash helps reduce your
chance of hitting things inside the vehicle
or being ejected from it.
• The Rollover Pop Up Bars have
powerful springs that rapidly extend
the bars in rollover crashes, as well as
in moderate to severe crashes in
which the airbags deploy. Rollover
Pop Up Bars are supplemental to the
safety belts. They are designed to
work with safety belts but do not
replace them.
• Rollover Pop Up Bars deploy with
great force, and you could be injured if
your arm or other body part, or if an
object is covering the bars when they
deploy. Don't put anything on the
cover of the Rollover Pop Up Bars.
The path of the Rollover Pop Up Bars
must be kept clear.
• The Rollover Pop Up Bars are
designed to deploy only once. If they
deploy, take your vehicle to a work-
shop immediately to have the Rollover
Pop Up Bars repaired so that they
operate properly in the event of a
crash or rollover. We recommend that
you contact a Saab dealer.
NOTICE
To avoid the risk of damage to the soft top
do not operated the soft top while the
bars are extended.
