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.

Blind spot monitoring
46
Blind spot monitoringBLIND SPOT MONITOR
The Blind Spot Moni tor (BSM) system
is a supplement to, not a replacement
for, a safe driving style and use of the
exterior and rear-view mirrors.
Please note that BSM may not be able
to give adequate warning of vehicles
approaching very quickly from behind
or vehicles that are being overtaken
rapidly.
BSM may not be able to detect all
vehicles and may al so detect objects,
such as roadside barriers, etc. The radar sensors may be impaired by
rain, snow or road spray. This may
affect the system's ability to reliably
detect a vehicle/object within the
blind spot.
Ensure that the warning indicators in
the exterior mirrors are not obscured by
stickers or other objects.
Do not attach stickers or objects to the
rear bumpers, that may interfere with
the radar sensors.
The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) system
monitors a zone that covers the area adjacent
to the vehicle, that is not easily visible by the
driver and is designed to identify any object
overtaking the vehicle ( 3). The system uses a
radar on each side of the vehicle to identify any
overtaking vehicle/object within the blind spot
area of the vehicle, while disregarding other
objects which may be stat ionary or travelling in
the opposite direction, etc. If an object is identified by the system as being
an overtaking vehicle/object, an
amber
warning icon ( 1) illuminates in the relevant
exterior mirror, to alert the driver that there is a
potential hazard in the vehicle's blind spot and
therefore, that a la ne change might be
dangerous.
The radar monitors the area extending from the
exterior mirror rearwards, to approximately 6
metres (20 feet) behind the rear wheels, and up
to 2.5 metres (8.2 feet) from the side of the
vehicle (the wi dth of a typical carriageway
lane).

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.
