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.

2 2Never adjust the head restraints while
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.

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.

Seat belt checks
Note: If the vehicle is parked on an incline, the
seat belt mechanism may lock. This is not a
fault, and the belt shoul d be gently eased out
from the upper anchorage.
The seat belts should be inspected regularly to
check for fraying, cuts, or wear to the webbing,
and the condition and security of the
mechanism, buckles, adjusters, and mounting
points.
Checks
• 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.
• 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.
If any of the seat belts fail to meet those
criteria, immediately contact you Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
SEAT BELT REMINDER
If the driver's se at belt is not
fastened when the vehicle is in
motion, a chime will be heard and
the seat belt warning i ndicator will illuminate.
The warning chime and indicator will also be
activated if the front passenger seat is
occupied without the seat belt being fastened.
Note: Objects placed on the front passenger
seat may activate the seat belt reminder
warning chime and indicator. It is
recommended that any objects placed on the
front passenger seat are secured using the seat
belt.
Care must be
taken to avoid
contaminating the seat belt webbing,
and seat belt mechanisms with any
chemicals, liquids, gr it, dirt, or cleaning
products. If the seat belts do become
contaminated they should be replaced
immediately. Contaminated seat belts my not
operate correctly in an impact and cannot be
relied upon.

FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS
1. Draw the belt out smoothly, ensure that the
belt height, the seat, and your position on

the collar bone between the neck and
shoulder.
2. With the seat belt correctly positioned,
place the metal tongue into the buckle
nearest to you. Press it in until a click is
heard.
Releasing the seat belts
Note: When releasing the seat belt it is
advisable to hold the belt before pressing the

retracting too quickly.
To release the seat be lt, press the red button.
SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
1.Press to release the catch.
2. With the catch depressed move the

cross the collar bone at the mid-point between
the neck and end of your shoulder.
Where possible, rear se at passengers should
adjust their seating position to achieve the
same seat belt position.
E82905

adjust the seat belt height once the vehicle is
in motion. Doing so ma y cause you to loose
control of the vehicle, or incorrectly adjust the
seat belt.
