RollTek is an integrated series of components working together to help save lives and reduce occupant injury during a rollover. Use your mouse below to view the stages of the RollTek System Deployment in a rollover event.
It is the combination of seat belts and supplemental restraint systems that make RollTek so effective. Although an unbelted passenger may be afforded some protection by the airbags, seat belts are the core restraining device of the RollTek rollover protection system. Occupants must be seated and belted!
DEPLOYMENT SUMMARY
SENSING: As the vehicle begins to roll, the roll sensor activates the RollTek protection devices.
PRETENSIONING: The pretensioning system automatically tightens the seat belt around the occupant, preventing movement and positioning the occupant securely in the seat.
POSITIONING: The S4 seat pull-down system pulls the suspension seat to its lowest position and holds the seat in place, increasing the occupant survivable space and minimizing head contact with the interior roof.
DEPLOYMENT: The side airbag deploys across the window, protecting the head and neck during impact.
NOTIFICATION / EGRESS: The RollTek decal and window sticker help to notify first aid responders that the vehicle is equipped with advanced occupant restraints.
