Important information With TwinTop, a convertible hardtop, Astra unites the benefits of a coupe with those of a convertible. Take care when operating the convertable hardtop. Risk of injury. Vehicle passengers must be informed accordingly. Astra TwinTop Monitor the action zone above, to the side and to the rear of the vehicle roof during operation. Make sure that nothing could become trapped or pinched. Make sure no-one is in the action zone of the roof or boot lid during roof operation. Risk of injury. Check the amount of height, length and width of available space before operating the roof, e.g. in a parking garage or when a bicycle rack is fitted. Before leaving the vehicle, remove the ignition key in order to prevent unauthorized operation of the windows, sunroof and TwinTop. Rollover protection system To optimise safety in the event of a rollover, the Astra TwinTop is equipped with reinforced windscreen frame and anti-roll bars behind the rear seat head restraints. The anti-roll bars are fixed or deployable depending on vehicle variant. Fixed anti-roll bars are secured to the vehicle bodywork (see illustration). Deployable anti-roll bars 3 Located between the rear head restraints and the boot lid in such a way that they are out of sight. In the event of a rollover, head-on collision or side impact, the anti-roll bars deploy upwards within milliseconds. The convertible hardtop must not be operated if the anti-roll bars have been deployed. A continuous warning will sound if the switch is actuated. The airbag control indicator v illuminates if the anti-roll bars have been deployed. Wind deflector 3 With the wind deflector installed, turbulence, draughts and noise in the passenger’s compartment are reduced when the roof is open. The rear seats cannot be occupied when the wind deflector is in place. Place no objects on the wind deflector. The wind deflector is folded together in a stowage compartment 3 in the luggage compartment beneath the floor hatch. If vehicle is fitted with a spare wheel 3, the wind deflector is in the luggage compartment. For instructions on how to fit and remove wind deflector, see Owner’s Manual.
