Airbag deployment effectsAIRBAG WARNING LAMP
The airbag warning indicator is
mounted in the instrument pack,
and will illuminate as a bulb check
when the ignition is turned on.
If any of the following warning indicator
conditions occur, the vehicle should be
checked by your Land Ro ver Dealer/Authorised
repairer immediately.
• The warning indicator fails to illuminate
when the ignition is turned on.
• The warning indicator fails to extinguish
within six seconds of the ignition being
turned on.
• The warning indicator illuminates at any
time other than the bulb check, when the
ignition is turned on.WARNINGS
When an airbag inflates a fine powder
is released. This is normal, and not an
indication of a malf unction. However,
the powder may cause irritation to the skin,
and should be throughly flushed from eyes,
and any cuts or abrasions.
After inflation some airbag
components are at high temperatures.
To prevent injury, do no touch the
airbag components until they have cooled.
In order to react with sufficient speed,
airbags are deployed by an explosive
charge. Consequently airbag
deployment is accompan ied by a very loud
noise which may cause discomfort and
temporary loss of hearing.
WARNING
If the warning indicator signals that a
fault is present in the system, do not
use a child restraint on the front
passenger seat. Doing so will increase the risk
of death or serious injury to the child.

DISABLING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG
Note: The passenger airbag should be disabled
only when a rearward fa cing child restraint if
fitted to the front passenger seat.
To disable the passenger airbag :-
1. Remove the emergency key from the
remote control. See USING THE KEY
(page 40).
2. Insert the end of the key blade into the slot
in the switch and rotate the switch to the
off position.
WARNINGS
Crash test data and statistics, show
that the safest place for a child to be
restrained, is in a child seat correctly
fitted to the vehicle's rear seat.
Do not use a child restraint on a seat
protected by an ope rational airbag in
front of it. Doing so presents a high
risk of death or serious injury to the child in the
event of an accident.
Do not fit a child restraint to the front
passenger seat if the SRS warning
light illuminates co ntinuously with the
ignition on.
E82699
WARNING
As soon as the child seat is removed
from the front passenger seat the
airbag must be turned on. Failure to do
so will put any front seat passengers at greater
risk of death or serious injury in the event of a
frontal impact.

Child safetyCHILD SEATS
It is very important for all infants and children
under 12 years of age to be restrained in a
suitable child safety seat appropriate to their
age and size. If it is essential that a child travels in the front
passenger seat, Land Ro ver recommends that
the following preparations are made before
fitting the child restraint.
• Disable the front pass enger airbag. See
DISABLING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG
(page 62).
• Adjust the front passenger seat fully
rearwards.
• Adjust the lumbar support to its minimum
support position.
• Adjust the seat cushion to its highest
position. If cushion rake adjustment is
possible, adjust it to its lowest position.
• Adjust the seat be lt adjustable upper
anchorage to its lowest position.
This symbol is affixed to the end of the facia on
the passenger side. Its purpose is to warn
against the use of a rear facing child seat when
the front passenger ai rbag is fitted and
operational.
WARNINGS
Do not use a child restraint on a seat
with an operational airbag in front of
it. There is a risk of death or serious injury
when the airbag deploys.
Crash statistics show that children are
safest when properly restrained on
the rear seat.
Do not use a forward facing child seat
until the child using it is above the
minimum weight of 9 kg (20 lb.) and able to
sit up unaided. Up to the age of two, a child's
spine and neck are not sufficiently developed
to avoid injury in a frontal impact.
Do not allow a baby or infant to be
held or carried on the lap. The force of
a crash can increase effective body weight by
as much as thirty times, making it
impossible to hold onto the child. Children
typically require the use of a booster seat
appropriate to their age and size, thereby
enabling the seat belts to be properly fitted,
reducing the risk of injury in a crash.
Children could be enda ngered in a crash if
their child restraints are not properly secured
in the vehicle.
Do not use a child seat that hooks
over the seat back. This type of seat
cannot be satisfactorily secured and is
unlikely to be safe for your child.
WARNING
Original text according to ECE R94.
01. Extreme hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a seat
protected by an operational airbag in front of
it!

* Always ensure that the passenger airbag has
been disabled before us ing a child restraint in

Note: The legislation whic h governs how and
where children should be carried when
travelling in a vehicle, is subject to change. It is
the responsibility of the driver to comply with
all regulations in force.
BOOSTER CUSHIONS
In a situation where a child is too large to fit
into a child safety seat, but is still too small to
safely fit the three point belt properly, a booster
seat is recommended for maximum safety.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
fitting and use, then adjust the seat belt to suit.

ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS
Both of the outer seat pos itions on the rear seat
are equipped to accept ISOFIX restraints.
This symbol is shown on a label
sewn into the seats to indicate the
position of the ISOFIX lower
anchorages.
WARNINGS
Do not attempt to fit ISOFIX restraints
to the centre seating position. The
anchor bars are not designed to hold an
ISOFIX restraint in this position.
If the restraint is not correctly
anchored, there is a significant risk of
injury to the child in the event of a collision or
emergency braking.
Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only loads
imposed by correctly fi tted child restraints.
Under no circumstances are they to be used
for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for
attaching other items or equipment to the
vehicle.
If removing a head restraint in order to
fit a child restraint, always secure the
head restraint when stor ing it. If left loose in
the vehicle it may cause death or serious
injury during sudden braking or an impact.

Installing an ISOFIX child seat
To install an ISOFIX child seat :-
1. Raise or remove the head restraint.
2. Lift the velcro flap to expose the ISOFIX

do this attempt to pull the restraint away
from the vehicle seat and twist the restraint
from side to side. Even if the restraint
appears secure you should still check the
anchor points visually to ensure correct
attachment.
Note: Always ensure that if an upper tether is
provided, it is fitted and tightened correctly.
