SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS
The seat belt pre-tens ioners 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.
The seat belt pre-tensioners will
activate only once and then must be
replaced. Failure to replace them will
reduce the effectiveness of the SRS in
reducing the risk of serious injury or
death in the event of an accident.
After any impact, have the seat belts
and pre-tensioners checked and, if
necessary, replaced by a Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EFFECTS
When an airbag inflates, a fine
powder is released. This is normal
and not an indication of a malfunction.
The powder may cause irritation to the
skin and should be thoroughly flushed
from eyes and any cuts or abrasions.
Airbag deployment is accompanied by
a very loud noise which may cause
discomfort and temporary loss of
hearing.
AIRBAG WARNING LAMP
If the warning lamp indicates that a
fault is present in the system, do not
use a child restraint on the front
passenger seat.
If any of the following warning indicator
conditions occur, th e vehicle should be
checked by your Dealer /Authorised repairer
immediately.
• The warning indicator fails to illuminate
when the START/STOP button is initially
switched on.
• The warning indicator fails to extinguish
within six seconds of the START/STOP
button being switched on.
• The warning indicator illuminates at any
time other than during the bulb check.
Theairbag warning indicator is
mounted in the instrument panel,
andwill illuminate as a bulb check
when the START/STOP buttonis
switched on.

headlamps when cornering in different
circumstances.
Static bending lamps : The static bending
lamps operate when necessary, to provide an
even broader light spread.
Cornering lamps : At speeds up to 40 km/h
(25 mph), to provide improved visibility at
junctions, the system switches on the lamp if it
has received an input from the vehicle's
direction indicator. Only the lamp on the same

ONE-TOUCH WINDOW OPERATION
The front windows have one-touch open
operation. Briefly press the switch down fully
and release, th e window will lower until fully
open.
The rear windows open in 2 stages:
• Briefly press the switch down fully and
release; the window will open 65 - 75 mm
(2.5 - 3 inches) to the comfort stop
position.
Note: This position reduces resonance
(booming sound) that can occur when
driving with a front window open. Open the
rear window on the same side of the
vehicle as the open front window, to
reduce resonance.
• Briefly press the switch down fully and

WINDOW ANTI-TRAP PROTECTION
Before closing a window, ensure that
no occupants have any part of their
body in a position where it could be
trapped. Even with an anti-trap system
death or serious injury could occur.
Anti-trap protection is designed to stop
window movement if an obstruction or
resistance is detected. Check the window and
its aperture and remove any obstructions. The
override procedure is as follows:-
1. Attempt to close the window. Anti-trap will
prevent closure and lower the window. 2.
Within 10 seconds, at tempt to raise the
window again. Anti-trap will prevent
closure and lower the window.
3. Attempt to close the window for a third
time, this time holding the switch in the
close position. The window will raise whilst
the switch is held. Hold until closed.
Note: If this procedure fails to remove the
blockage, or if the windows do not operate
correctly, the window operation may need to be
reset. See 164, WINDOW RESET .
SUNROOF ANTI-TRAP MECHANISM
Before closing the sunroof, ensure
that no occupants have any part of
their body in a position where it could
be trapped. Even with an anti-trap
system death or serious injury could
occur.
The anti-trap mechanism can be overridden to
allow the roof to be closed when movement is
restricted by dirt. To override the anti-trap
mechanism, press and hold the front of the
switch until the roof reaches the closed
position.
If the sunroof fails to operate correctly, it may
need to be reset. See 164, SUNROOF RESET .

Blind spot monitoring
47
Note: This radar sensor is approved in all RTTE
countries.
Note: The system covers an area of a fixed lane
width. If the lanes are narrower than a typical
carriageway lane, obj ects travelling in
non-adjacent lanes may be detected.
BSM automatically switches on and becomes
active when the vehicle is travelling at more
than 16 km/h (10 mph) in a forward gear.
When the system initiates, it performs a
self-check, during which the warning icons in
the mirrors illuminate alternately for a short
period of time.
The indicator dot (2) re mains illuminated until
forward vehicle speed exceeds 16 km/h
(10 mph).
BSM is designed to work most effectively when
driving on multi-lane highways.
Note: If an overtaking vehicle is detected on
both sides of the vehicle simultaneously, the
warning icons in both mirrors will illuminate.
Note: BSM is automatically turned off when
reverse ( R) gear is selected, when the vehicle is
in park ( P), the vehicle is travelling below
16 km/h (10 mph). Under these conditions, an
amber warning indicator within the exterior
mirror is displayed.
SENSOR BLOCKAGE
The BSM system will automatically disable if
either of the sensor s become completely
obscured, an amber wa rning indicator dot (2)
is displayed in the exterior mirror and the
message BLIND SPOT MONITOR SENSOR
BLOCKED appears in the message centre.
Note: Blockage testing is only initiated when
vehicle speed is above 32 km/h (20 mph) and
will take at least two minutes of accumulated
driving above this speed, to determine that the
sensor is blocked. If the sensors become blocked, then please
check that there is nothing obscuring the rear
bumper and that it is cl
ear from ice, frost and
dirt.
BSM SYSTEM FAULT
If a fault with one of the radar sensors is
detected, an amber warning indicator dot is
displayed in the exterior mirror and the
message BLIND SPOT MONITOR NOT
AVAILABLE is displayed in the message centre.
Note: Even if the detected fault only affects the
radar sensor on one side of the vehicle, the
whole system is disabled. If the fault is
temporary, the system will operate correctly
once the engine has been switched off and then
on again.
If a fault in the system occurs, consult your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
