Airbag SRS
Side airbags
NOTE: After the starter switch is turned to
position ’II’, the system’s diagnostic control
unit checks its own memory and the warning
light bulb for faults. If a fault is found, the
warning light will illuminate.
Side airbags are designed to protect the
thorax region of the torso and will only deploy
in the event of a severe side impact. They will
NOTinflate as a result of frontal or rear
impacts.
Seating positions
In order to provide optimum protection in the
event of a severe vehicle impact, it is
necessary for the airbags to deploy with
considerable speed.
In the event of a severe side collision, the
airbag on the impact side of the vehicle breaks
through the seat covering, rapidlyinflating to
form a cushion between the occupant and the
side of the vehicle.
An inflating airbag can cause facialabrasions
and other injuries if the occupant is too close
to the airbag at the time of its deployment.
Note that a part of the outer side of the seat
trim (identified by the woven ’airbag’label) is
manufactured with a speciallyconstructed
seam which enables the airbag to break
through. The manufacture and materials of the
seat are criticalto the performance of the
airbag. For this reason, non-approved seat
covers must NEVER be fitted, and it is
WARNING
To minimise the risk of accidental injury
from inflating airbags, seat belts should be
correctly worn at all times. In addition, both
driver and front seat passenger should
adjust the seat to provide the maximum
practical distance from the front airbags,
and also ensure that a gap is maintained
between the upper torso and the side of the
vehicle to enable unobstructed inflation of
the side airbags.
recommended that any repair or replacement
to the front seats be carried out by a Land
Rover dealer (see ’Service information’).
Airbag SRS warning light
Awarning light, mounted on the instrument
pack, will alert you to any malfunction which
might prevent the airbag SRS from operating
correctlyin the event of an impact. The
system should always be checked by a dealer
if any of the following symptoms occur:
•
The warning light fails to illuminate when
the starter switch is turned to position ’II’.
•
The warning light fails to extinguish within
approximatelyfive seconds after the
starter switch is turned to position ’II’.
•
The warning light illuminates while the
vehicle is being driven.
