SeatsSITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION
The seat, head restraint, seat belt and airbags,
all contribute to the protection of the user.
Correct use of these components will give you
greater protection, therefore you should
observe the following points:
1. Sit in an upright position with the base of
your spine as far back as possible and the
seatback reclined no more than 30
degrees.
2. Do not move the driver's seat too close to
the steering wheel. Ideally, a minimum
distance of 254 mm (10 inches) is
recommended betwee n the breastbone
and the steering wheel airbag cover. Hold
the steering wheel in the correct position
with your arms slightly bent.
• Adjust the head restraint so that it's
highest point is level with the top of your
head. •
Position the seatbelt so that it is mid-way
between your neck an d your shoulder. Fit
the strap tightly across your hips, not
across your stomach.
• Ensure that your driving position is
comfortable, and enab les you to maintain
full control of the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not adjust the seat while the
vehicle is moving. Doing so could
cause loss of vehicle control and
personal injury.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
1. Press the locking collar to release the head
restraint.
2. Whilst pressing the locking collar, move
the head restraint up or down to the
required position.
REAR SEATS
The split fold rear seat can be folded
completely to accommodate large loads, or
partially to accommodate large loads, and still
retain seating for passengers.
WARNINGS
Head restraints are designed to
support the head, not the back of the
neck. The restraint must be positioned
correctly to restrain re arward movement of the
head in a collision. An incorrectly adjusted
head restraint increases the risk of death or
serious injury in the event of a collision.
Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of the head restraint is above the
centre line of the he ad. An incorrectly
adjusted head restraint increases the risk of
death or serious injury in the event of a
collision. See SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION (page 47).
Do not drive, or ca rry passengers with
the head restraints removed from
occupied seats. The absence of a
correctly adjusted head restraint increases the
risk of death or serious injury in the event of a
collision.

the vehicle is in motion. An incorrectly
adjusted head restraint increases the
risk of death or serious injury in the event of a
collision.
WARNINGS
Always ensure that objects carried
within the vehicle are secured
properly. Unsecured items can cause
death or serious injury in the event of an
impact or sudden manoeuvre.
Never allow passengers to travel in the
load space under any circumstances.
All vehicle occupant s should be seated
correctly, and wear a seat belt at all times
when the vehicle is in motion. Failure to do so
will greatly increase the risk of death and
serious injury in the event of an accident or
heavy braking.

Raising the rear seats
The process for raising the rear seat is the
reverse of folding.
When the seat back has been raised fully, and
is locked into position, the release button will
pop-up.
Note: The red warning section will only be
visible if the seat back has not been locked into
position.
HEATED SEATS
Note: To prevent the battery from becoming
discharged the seat heaters will only operate
when the engine is running.
The seat heaters will maintain a factory set

Seat beltsPRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Seat belts Seat belt safety
WARNINGS
Seat belts are designed to bear upon
the bony structure of the body, and
should be worn low across the front of
the pelvis, or the pelv is chest and shoulders,
as applicable; wearing the lap section of the
belt across the abdominal area must be
avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly
as possible, consistent with comfort,
to provide the protection for which
they have been design ed. A slack belt will
greatly reduce the protec tion afforded to the
wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid
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 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.
Belts should not be worn with the
straps twisted.
E82942
Do not carry hard, fragile, or sharp
items between your person and the
seat belt. In an impact the pressure
from the seat belt on such items can cause
them to break, which in turn may cause death
or serious injuries.
Each belt assembly must only be used
by one occupant; it is dangerous to put
a belt around a child being carried on
the occupant's lap.
The occupants of the front seats
should not travel with the seat back at
more than 30 degrees from upright.
Doing so will reduce the protection afforded by
the seat belt.
WARNINGS
Seat belts should be worn by all
vehicle occupants, for every journey
no matter how short. failure to do so
will greatly increase the risk of death or
serious injury in the event of an accident.
No modifications or additions should
be made which prevent the seat belt
mechanism from taking up slack, or
prevent the seat belt being adjusted to remove
slack. A slack seat belt offers a greatly reduced
level of occupant prot ection in an impact.
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.
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.
