A motor vehicle () has a seat (), a seatbelt (), a deflector (), longitudinal and vertical guide rails (), and first and second guide elements (). The seatbelt () is configured to secure a person seated in the seat () and is deflected by the deflector (). The first guide element () is guided displaceably in a longitudinal direction (L) of the motor vehicle () in the longitudinal guide rail (). The vertical guide rail () is fastened to the first guide element () and is displaced upon displacement of the first guide element (). The second guide element () is guided displaceably in a vertical direction of the motor vehicle () in the vertical guide rail (). The deflector () is fastened to the second guide element () so that the deflector () also is displaced upon displacement of the second guide element ().

A cover () of a folding-top compartment in a cabriolet vehicle can be pivoted by way of links () between a position in which the cover () covers the folding-top compartment and a position in which the cover () does not cover the folding-top compartment. The cover () has, at a distance from its pivoting connection, at least one first guide element (), and on the body, there is provided at least one second guide element (). During the transfer of the cover () into its closed position, the two guide elements () interact, and guide the cover (), as far as the closed position.

Arrangement of a cover of a folding-top compartment in a cabriolet

A roof system () for a cabriolet vehicle () has a folding top () that is movable between a deployed position and a retracted position covered by a folding-top compartment lid (). A side fin () is movable from a use position, in which the side fin () forms a rearward elongation of a support pillar (), into a pivoted-away position, in which the side fin () is swiveled away from the folding-top compartment lid () about a swivel axis and into a pivoted-in position in which the side fin () is below the folding-top compartment lid (). Movement of the side fin () away from the folding-top compartment lid () enables the side fin () to be positioned closer to or in the range of movement of the folding top () and the folding-top compartment lid () during movement between the deployed and retracted positions.

Roof system for a cabriolet motor vehicle

A cabriolet vehicle has a top system () that can be stowed in a rear-end stowage compartment (). The top system () is held in the stowage compartment () by a support with a hinge element () having a horizontally pivotable hinge arm () and a top bearing () integrated in the hinge arm (). The hinge arm () has a drive device () actuable by a roof link () of the top system () and configured to pivot the hinge arm () about a vertical axis () from a folded-in rest position (R), in which the hinge arm () is oriented transversely in the vehicle (), into a folded-out bearing position (A), in which the hinge arm () extends in the vehicle longitudinal direction and in which the top bearing () receives a support () of a roof element () of the top system ().

A motor vehicle has a cover module () formed from a brittle material and a rollover hoop () in a passive position below the cover module (). The rollover hoop () moves to an active position in a rollover and breaks through at least the cover module ().

Arrangement for a motor vehicle

A double buttress folding top has rear-side tensioning bows with two rearwardly directed U-shaped sections that are connected to each other via a central bow section. The tensioning bows tension the folding top cloth in the region of the buttresses. The folding top cloth is fastened to the tensioning bow. The tensioning bow bears from below against a folding top compartment cover and against edges of lateral body cutouts. The folding top compartment cover therefore has two lateral cutouts which, in the open position of the folding top, are closed by lateral flaps. The tensioning bow is of U-shaped design and, above a rear window, has a bow web to which the rear window is coupled in a hinged or pivotable manner.

A roll bar configuration for a motor vehicle has a cross-member and two roll bars which are mounted on the cross-member in respective pivot axes. The roll bars are each formed as a single part and so as to be stiff per se and can be shifted from a retracted inoperative position into an erected protective position about the pivot axes. The pivot axes are disposed&#x2014;as seen in the direction of the width of the motor vehicle&#x2014;at a distance from each other on the cross-member. The roll bar configuration, which takes up a small installation space in the direction of the vehicle height is distinguished in that the roll bars are arranged in the inoperative position&#x2014;as seen in the vertical direction of the vehicle&#x2014;level with the pivot axes or on the cross-member there above.

A motor vehicle () has a roof () with two longitudinal roof members (). Side windows () are under longitudinal roof members () and fins () extend rearward of the longitudinal roof members (). An outer skin () of a rear deck lid () is arranged between the fins (). Air inlet openings () are formed in outer sides of the fins () adjacent to the side window () are connected by a two-channel air duct () to an air outlet opening () adjacent the outer skin () of the lid on the inner side () of the fin () and to an assembly compartment (RA) for an assembly (AG) of the motor vehicle (). A rear air deflection device () is arranged behind the air outlet opening ().

An air guiding system for a vehicle, particularly for a passenger car, is arranged in a rear area of the vehicle and has a main air guiding element that can be displaced from a moved-in inoperative position into a moved-out operative position. Viewed in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the main air guiding element, while forming at least two main air guiding element sections, is divided such that, when the main air guiding element is displaced from the inoperative position into the operative position, at least lateral main air guiding element sections can be moved transversely to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

Air guiding system for a vehicle

An air guiding system for a vehicle, particularly a passenger car, that is arranged in a rear area of the vehicle and has at least one central main air guiding element displaceable from a moved-in inoperative position into a moved-out operative position. Lateral auxiliary air guiding elements are displaceable together with the or each central main air guiding element. The lateral auxiliary air guiding elements can be rotated like a folding knife with respect to the or each central main air guiding element in order to change them from an also moved-in inoperative position into an also moved-out operative position.

Lateral auxiliary air guiding elements are displaceable together with the, or each, central main air guiding element. The auxiliary air guiding elements can be swiveled with respect to the, or each, main air guiding element about at least two pivots fixed to the main air guiding element and in each case at least two pivots fixed to the auxiliary air guiding elements laterally beside the main air guiding element.

An air guiding system for a vehicle, particularly for a passenger car, is arranged in a rear area of the vehicle and has at least one central main air guiding element that can be displaced between a moved-in inoperative position into a moved-out operative position. Lateral auxiliary air guiding elements are displaceable together with the at least one central main air guiding element. The lateral auxiliary air guiding elements can be displaced while enlarging the transverse dimension and while simultaneously enlarging the longitudinal dimension of the main air guiding element or the air guiding system from an also moved-in inoperative position into an also moved-out operative position.
