Safety Precautions For Rollover Protection
- 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 one meter away.
- ALWAYS perform an output diagnostic test mode in "Guided Functions " after repairing any wires or connectors for the rollover protection using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
- 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 " using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
- Perform the output diagnostic test only after all work procedures have been completed.
- Before starting the output diagnostic test, the rollover support 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).

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

- 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.
