Abstract
A convertible motor vehicle is provided with two rollover bars which can be swivelled out of a lowered inoperative position into an upwardly directed supporting position and back around a swivel axis fixed at the vehicle and extending essentially in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The rollover protection system can be integrated into conventional vehicle concepts in a particularly space-saving and advantageous manner and reduces the risk of injury in the case of a fast, sensor-controlling swinging-up of the rollover bars.
