Airbags

Do not allow passengers to obstruct
the 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).
Make sure 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, make sure
all vehicle occupants wear correctly
positioned seat belts, sit correctly in
the seats, 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, vehicles fitted with
SRS. If you are in any doubt, seek
advice from your Dealer/Authorised
repairer.
Airbag deployment is dependent on the rate at
which the passenger compartment changes
velocity following the collision. Circumstances
affecting different collisions (vehicle speed,
angle of impact, type and size of object hit,
etc.), vary considerably and will affect the rate
of deceleration accordingly.
Airbags cannot deploy correctly if they are
obstructed. Examples of obstructions are:
 Any part of an occupant’s body in contact
with, or close to, an airbag cover.
 Objects placed on, or close to, an airbag
cover.
 Clothing, sun screens, or other material
hanging from grab handles.
 Clothing, cushions, or other material,
covering seat mounted airbags.
 Seat covers which are not approved by
Land Rover, or specifically designed for
use with seat mounted airbags.
This list is not exhaustive and it remains the
responsibility of the driver and passengers to
make sure the airbags are not obstructed in any
way.
The airbags and Supplementary Restraint
System (SRS) are not designed to operate as a
result of:
 Rear impacts.
 Minor front impacts.
 Minor side impacts.
 Heavy braking.
 Driving over bumps and pot holes.
High speed impacts may cause
serious injury or death irrespective of
safety features fitted to a vehicle.
The airbag SRS cannot provide
protection in some types of impact.
Under these circumstances the only
protection will be provided by a
correctly worn seat belt.

(Not Australia or Japan)
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.
