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 belts
R
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.
WARNINGS

Child safety
64
L
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!
