AIRBAGS AND ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS
1. Airbag warning information is printed on
the driver and passenger sun visors.
2. Both front seats are equipped with Active
Head Restraints (AHR ), which reduce the
risk of neck and spinal injury (whiplash) in
the event of a rear impact, by moving the
head restraint upwards and forwards,
supporting the occupant’s head. After activation, the whiplash protection
mechanism resets automatically and does
not need to be replaced.
3. The curtain airbags may deflate at a slower
rate than the front or side airbags, to afford
prolonged protection.
4. Seat mounted side airbags.
5. Front passenger airbag.
6. Driver’s airbag.

Note: The general location of airbags fitted to
the vehicle are marked by the word AIRBAG.
Always contact your Dealer/Authorised
repairer if:
• An airbag inflates.
• The front or sides of the vehicle are
damaged.
• Any part of the Airbag Supplementary
Restraint System (S RS) shows signs of
cracking or damage, including trim
covering airbags.
AIRBAG OPERATION
For the airbags to operate correctly
the roof lining and door post trims
must be in good condition, correctly
fitted, and free from obstruction. Any
damage, wear, or incorrect fitment
should be referred to your Dealer/
Authorised repairer as soon as
possible for exam ination and repair.
Do not obstruct th e operation of the
airbags by placing any part of their
person or any objects in contact with,
or close to, an airbag module. Only
use approved accessories (e.g. seat
covers).
Ensure that a gap is maintained
between the side of the vehicle, and
the head and torso. This will enable
unobstructed inflation of the curtain,
and seat mounted side airbags.
Airbags inflate at high speeds. To
minimise the risk of injury, ensure
that all vehicle occupants wear
correctly positioned seat belts, sit
correctly in the s eats, and position the
seats as far back as practical. Airbag inflation takes place
instantaneously, and cannot protect
against the effects of secondary
impacts. Under these circumstances
the only protection will be provided by
a correctly worn seat belt.
Phone systems should only be
installed by qualified persons familiar
with the operation of, and
requirements for, vehi
cles fitted with
SRS. If you are in any doubt, seek
advice from your Dealer/Authorised
repairer.
Airbag deployment is de pendent on the rate at
which the passenger compartment changes
velocity following the collision. Circumstances
affecting different collis ions (vehicle speed,
angle of impact, type an d size of object hit,
etc.), vary considerably and will affect the rate
of deceleration accordingly.
The Supplementary Rest raint System (SRS)
components include:-
• SRS warning indicator.
• Rotary coupler.
• Airbag modules.
• Seat belt pre-te nsioners (front seat belts).
• Airbag diagnostic control unit.
• Crash sensors.
• Airbag wiring harnesses.
The SRS is not designed to operate as a result
of:
• Rear impacts.
• Minor front impacts.
• Minor side impacts.
• Heavy braking.
• Driving over bumps and pot holes.
Therefore, it follows that considerable
superficial damage to the vehicle can occur,
without causing the airbags to deploy.

SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS
The seat belt pre-tens ioners activate in
conjunction with the Supplementary Restraint
System (SRS) to provide additional protection
in the event of a severe frontal impact. They
automatically reduce any slack in a seatbelt to
reduce forward movement of a front seat
occupant.
The seat belt pre-tensioners will
activate only once and then must be
replaced. Failure to replace them will
reduce the effectiveness of the SRS in
reducing the risk of serious injury or
death in the event of an accident.
After any impact, have the seat belts
and pre-tensioners checked and, if
necessary, replaced by a Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EFFECTS
When an airbag inflates, a fine
powder is released. This is normal
and not an indication of a malfunction.
The powder may cause irritation to the
skin and should be thoroughly flushed
from eyes and any cuts or abrasions.
Airbag deployment is accompanied by
a very loud noise which may cause
discomfort and temporary loss of
hearing.
AIRBAG WARNING LAMP
If the warning lamp indicates that a
fault is present in the system, do not
use a child restraint on the front
passenger seat.
If any of the following warning indicator
conditions occur, th e vehicle should be
checked by your Dealer /Authorised repairer
immediately.
• The warning indicator fails to illuminate
when the START/STOP button is initially
switched on.
• The warning indicator fails to extinguish
within six seconds of the START/STOP
button being switched on.
• The warning indicator illuminates at any
time other than during the bulb check.
Theairbag warning indicator is
mounted in the instrument panel,
andwill illuminate as a bulb check
when the START/STOP buttonis
switched on.

circumstances.
Static bending lamps : The static bending
lamps operate when necessary, to provide an
even broader light spread.
Cornering lamps : At speeds up to 40 km/h
(25 mph), to provide improved visibility at
junctions, the system switches on the lamp if it
has received an input from the vehicle's
direction indicator. Only the lamp on the same
side as the operating indicator illuminates. The
lamp will self cancel after 3 minutes of
continuous operation.
WINDSCREEN WIPER DETECTION
