Rollover Protection Safety Precautions

• Always disconnect the voltage supply whenever working on the rollover protection.

• Make sure no one is standing near the rollover protection when reconnecting the battery. Stand at least 1 meter away.

• ALWAYS perform an output diagnostic test under "Guided Functions" after repairing the electrical wires or connectors for the rollover protection.

• If the rollover protection was removed and then installed again, or if a new rollover protection was installed, ALWAYS perform an output diagnostic test under "Guided Functions".

• Perform the output diagnostic test only after all work procedures have been completed.

• Before starting the output diagnostic test, the rollover protection covers on the convertible top compartment cover must be unclipped and moved away from the rollover bar deployment area.

• Always remove the rollover protection when performing any body repairs near the rollover protection.

• After servicing body in vicinity of the rollover protection, check body for welding beads, deformations and chafe marks (compare with opposite side of vehicle if necessary).

• ALWAYS install rollover protection in vehicle as soon as it is removed from packaging (new part).

• An undeployed, locked rollover protection must have 1 to 2 mm downward play.

• NEVER leave rollover protection unattended!

• When removed, store the rollover protection lying down with the support panels facing up.

• The rollover protection may not be disassembled or repaired. Always use new parts.

• A rollover protection may not be reinstalled if it has fallen on a hard surface or if it shows any signs of damage.

• Do not perform any repair work on the convertible top compartment cover near the rollover protection cover itself.

• If the rollover protection had to be removed because of an accident, then the bolts for the rollover protection must be replaced.
