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.

•
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.
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.
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.
FRONT AIRBAGS
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.
The front passenger and driver air bags are
able to deploy in two stages, depending on the
severity of the frontal impact. In a severe
impact, the air bags inflate fully to offer
maximum protection. In a lesser impact, full
deployment is not required, so the air bags are
partially inflated.
Airbags cannot deploy correctly if they are
obstructed. Examples of obstructions are:
Any part of an occupants 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.
SIDE AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS
•
•
•
•
•
The seat mounted side air bags are designed to
protect the thorax region of the torso and will
deploy only in the event of a side impact and
then, only on the side of the impact.
The curtain air bags are deployed in side
impact and rollover events, providing greater
protection from serious head injuries. They
deflate at a slower rate than the front or side air
bags.
SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS
This list is not exhaustive, and it remains the
responsibility of the driver and passengers to
ensure that the airbags are not obstructed in
any way.
The seat belt pre-tensioners activate in
conjunction with the Supplementary Restraint
System (SRS) to provide additional protection
in the event of a severe frontal impact. They
automatically reduce any slack in a seatbelt to
reduce forward movement of a front seat
occupant.
Note: The airbags and SRS are not designed to
operate as a result of:
•
•
Rear impacts.
Minor front impacts.
