SEAT BELT SAFETY
SEAT BELT CHECKS
Care should be taken to avoid
Note: If the vehicle is parked on an incline, the
seat belt mechanism may lock. This is not a
fault and the belt should be gently eased out
from the upper anchorage.
contamination of the webbing with
polishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using mild
soap and water.
The seat belts should be inspected regularly to
check for fraying, cuts, wear to the webbing
and the condition and security of the
mechanism, buckles, adjusters and mounting
points.
The belt should be replaced if
webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated or damaged.
It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in a
severe impact even if damage to the
assembly is not obvious.
• With the seat belt fastened, give the
webbing near the buckle a quick upward
pull. The buckle must remain securely
locked.
•
With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the
seat belt to the limit of its travel. Check that
it unreels smoothly with no snatches or
snags. Allow the belt to fully retract, again
checking for smooth operation.
If any damage, wear, cuts, defects, or
impaired operation are noted with the
seat belts, the vehicle should be taken
to a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised
Repairer for immediate attention. Do
not use the vehicle if the seat belts
cannot be operated correctly.
• Partially unreel the seat belt, then hold the
tongue plate and give a quick forward pull.
The mechanism must lock and prevent any
further unreeling.
Do not carry hard, fragile, or sharp
items between your person and the
seat belt.
If any of the seat belts fail to meet those
criteria, immediately contact your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Seat belts should be worn by all
vehicle occupants, for every journey
no matter how short.
SEAT BELT WARNING LAMP
Never wear just the lap belt or just the
shoulder belt of a lap/shoulder
diagonal seat belt. Both of these
actions are extremely dangerous and
may increase your risk of injury.
If the driver's seat belt is not
fastened when the vehicle is in
motion, a chime will be heard and
the seat belt warning lamp will
illuminate. The warning chime and
warning lamp will also be activated
if the front passenger seat is
occupied without the seat belt
being fastened.
When using seat belts to restrain
items other than occupants, take care
to ensure that the belts are not
damaged, or exposed to sharp edges.
