Airbag SRS
Seating positions
HOW THE AIRBAG SRS WORKS
In the event of a severe frontal impact, the
airbag control unit monitors the rate of
deceleration or acceleration induced by the
collision, to determine whether the airbags
should be deployed.
In order to provide optimum protection in the
event of a severe frontal impact, it is necessary
for the airbags to deploy with considerable
speed.
An inflating airbag can cause facial abrasions
and other injuries if the occupant is too close to
the airbag at the time of its deployment.
Operation of the airbag SRS is dependent
entirely on the rate at which the vehicle's
passenger compartment changes speed as a
result of a collision. The circumstances
WARNING
•
To reduce 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 their seat to provide the
maximum practical distance from the
airbags.
affecting different collisions (vehicle speed,
angle of impact, type and size of object hit, for
example), vary considerably and will affect the
rate of acceleration or deceleration accordingly.
NOTE: The SRS/airbag is not designed to
activate in all frontal impacts; most minor
frontal impacts, heavy braking and driving over
pot holes will not result in sufficient
deceleration to cause the airbags to inflate. This
does not indicate that there is a fault with the
system. However, if as a result of an impact,
you believe the airbags should have deployed
and they failed to do so, please call

Occupants not seated correctly in
allocated seats are subject to serious
injury or death upon airbag deployment.
Never place your arm over an airbag
module as a deploying air bag can result
in serious arm fractures or other injuries.

for advice, or to arrange for a
Land Rover representative to inspect the
vehicle to determine whether the system
operated correctly.
It follows, therefore, that significant superficial
damage can occur without the airbags
deploying or, conversely, that a relatively small
amount of structural damage may cause the
airbags to be deployed.
Airbags will only deploy when they are
required to supplement the restraining force
of the seat belts.
In the case of a severe frontal collision, both
front airbags and seat belt pre-tensioners will
be deployed.
