A vehicle includes a vehicle body having a roof and a floor. A seat assembly has a lower seat portion and a seatback portion operatively connected to the lower seat portion. The seat assembly is mounted with respect to the floor and is selectively movable from a first position to a second position. The seat assembly in the second position is farther from the roof than in the first position. At least one actuator is operatively connected to the seat assembly and is selectively activatable to cause the seat assembly to move from the first position to the second position. A rollover detection system is operatively connected to the actuator. The rollover detection system is also configured to detect at least one condition indicative of a vehicle rollover, and to activate the actuator in response to the at least one condition indicative of a vehicle rollover.
