Occupant safety

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
