Note: The location points of airbags fitted to
the vehicle are marked by the word AIRBAG
embossed into the trim.
Always contact your Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised repairer if :-
• An airbag inflates.
• The front or sides of the vehicle are
damaged.
• Any part of the SRS shows signs of
cracking or damage, including trim
covering airbags.
Airbag operation
Airbags cannot deploy co rrectly if they are
obstructed. Examples of obstructions are :-
• Any part of an occupa nts 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 driv er and passengers to
ensure that the airbags are not obstructed in
any way.
Deployment and deflation
In the event of a collision the airbag control
system monitors the ra te, and direction of
deceleration. If required to supplement the seat
belts, airbags will be deployed as appropriate.
Front airbags
The front passenger's, and driver's airbags are
able to deploy in two stages depending on the
severity of the frontal impact. In a severe
impact the airbags inflate fully to offer
maximum protection. In a lesser impact full
deployment is not require d, so the airbags are
partially inflated.
Side and curtain airbags
Side and curtain airbag s are designed to offer
increased protection for the torso and head in
a side impact. The curtain airbags deflate at a
slower rate than the front, or side airbags to
afford greater protection from serious head
injuries.
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
Land Rover Dealer/Authorised repairer.
WARNINGS
For the airbags to operate correctly the
roof lining and door post trims must
be in good condition, correctly fitted,
and free from obstructi on. Any damage, wear,
or incorrect fitment shoul d be referred to your
Land Rover Dealer/Aut horised repairer as
soon as possible for ex amination and repair.
Do not allow passe ngers 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. Airbags deploy at very high speeds,
and can cause serious inju ry or death if objects
or occupants are within the area of
deployment.

Child safetyCHILD SEATS
It is very important for all infants and children
under 12 years of age to be restrained in a
suitable child safety seat appropriate to their
age and size. If it is essential that a child travels in the front
passenger seat, Land Ro ver recommends that
the following preparations are made before
fitting the child restraint.
• Disable the front pass enger airbag. See
DISABLING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG
(page 62).
• Adjust the front passenger seat fully
rearwards.
• Adjust the lumbar support to its minimum
support position.
• Adjust the seat cushion to its highest
position. If cushion rake adjustment is
possible, adjust it to its lowest position.
• Adjust the seat be lt adjustable upper
anchorage to its lowest position.
This symbol is affixed to the end of the facia on
the passenger side. Its purpose is to warn
against the use of a rear facing child seat when
the front passenger ai rbag is fitted and
operational.
WARNINGS
Do not use a child restraint on a seat
with an operational airbag in front of
it. There is a risk of death or serious injury
when the airbag deploys.
Crash statistics show that children are
safest when properly restrained on
the rear seat.
Do not use a forward facing child seat
until the child using it is above the
minimum weight of 9 kg (20 lb.) and able to
sit up unaided. Up to the age of two, a child's
spine and neck are not sufficiently developed
to avoid injury in a frontal impact.
Do not allow a baby or infant to be
held or carried on the lap. The force of
a crash can increase effective body weight by
as much as thirty times, making it
impossible to hold onto the child. Children
typically require the use of a booster seat
appropriate to their age and size, thereby
enabling the seat belts to be properly fitted,
reducing the risk of injury in a crash.
Children could be enda ngered in a crash if
their child restraints are not properly secured
in the vehicle.
Do not use a child seat that hooks
over the seat back. This type of seat
cannot be satisfactorily secured and is
unlikely to be safe for your child.
WARNING
Original text according to ECE R94.
01. Extreme hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a seat
protected by an operational airbag in front of
it!

BOOSTER CUSHIONS
In a situation where a child is too large to fit
into a child safety seat, but is still too small to
safely fit the three point belt properly, a booster
seat is recommended for maximum safety.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
fitting and use, then adjust the seat belt to suit.

ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS
Both of the outer seat pos itions on the rear seat
are equipped to accept ISOFIX restraints.
This symbol is shown on a label
sewn into the seats to indicate the
position of the ISOFIX lower
anchorages.
WARNINGS
Do not attempt to fit ISOFIX restraints
to the centre seating position. The
anchor bars are not designed to hold an
ISOFIX restraint in this position.
If the restraint is not correctly
anchored, there is a significant risk of
injury to the child in the event of a collision or
emergency braking.
Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only loads
imposed by correctly fi tted child restraints.
Under no circumstances are they to be used
for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for
attaching other items or equipment to the
vehicle.
If removing a head restraint in order to
fit a child restraint, always secure the
head restraint when stor ing it. If left loose in
the vehicle it may cause death or serious
injury during sudden braking or an impact.

Maintenance
158
L
One or both types of serv ice interval (distance
and time) may be displayed. For example, if an
engine oil service is du e based on mileage, and
a brake fluid change is due based on time, both
distance and time c ountdowns will display.
Service Portfolio
The Service Portfolio book includes a Service
Record section, which enables a record to be
kept of all the servicing and inspections that are
carried out on the vehicle. This section of the
book also has an area for brake fluid changes
to be recorded.
Ensure your service provider signs and stamps
the book after each se rvice and inspection.
Owner Maintenance
In addition to the routine maintenance, a
number of simple checks must be carried out
more frequently. Advice is given on the pages
that follow.
Daily checks
• Operation of lamps, horn, direction
indicators, wipers, washers and warning
indicators.
• Operation of seat belts and brakes.
• Look for fluid deposits underneath the
vehicle that might indicate a leak.
Weekly checks
• Engine oil level. See ENGINE OIL CHECK
(page 162).
• Engine coolant check. See ENGINE
COOLANT CHECK (page 163).
• Brake/clutch fluid level. See BRAKE AND
CLUTCH FLUID CHECK (page 165). •
Power steering fluid level. See POWER
STEERING FLUID CHECK (page 166).
• Screen washer fluid level. See WASHER
FLUID CHECK (page 167).
• Tyre pressure s and condition.
• Operate air conditioning.
Note: The engine oil leve l should be checked
more frequently if the vehicle is driven for
prolonged periods at high speeds.
Driving in arduous conditions
When a vehicle is operated in extremely
arduous conditions, more frequent attention
must be paid to servicing requirements.
For example, if your vehicle experiences deep
wading conditions, even daily servicing could
be necessary to ensure the continued safe and
reliable operation of the vehicle.
Arduous driving conditions include:
• Driving in dusty and/or sandy conditions.
• Driving on rough and/or muddy roads
and/or wading.
• Driving in extremely hot conditions.
