A passenger motor vehicle (1) having a rollover protection system (2) with a deployable rollover protector (3) which, in a rest position (4), is arranged below a vehicle outer skin (5) and which, in a protection event, can be transferred from the rest position (4) into a deployed protective position (6). An actuator (7) is provided which is suitable and designed for opening a cover (8) for the deployable rollover protector (3), which cover is arranged on the vehicle outer skin (5), in a protection event in order to ensure a deployment of the rollover protector (3) without obstruction by the cover (8). The actuator may be a pyrotechnic actuator and the cover may comprise an outer skin connected to a support frame. The support frame may be of encircling form and may be formed from steel. The cover may be a flap which pivots upwards and away from the rollover protector. The cover may be secured by a catch element (11) to the vehicle outer skin. The catch element may be a cable. The rollover protector may be deployed at the same time as the actuator is triggered.
