Airbag SRS
32
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Even with airbag SRS equipment fitted, seat belts must ALWAYS be worn because:
·
An airbag will only provide additional
protection in severe frontal
collisions. NO protection is afforded
against the effects of side or rear
impacts, roll over accidents, or
minor frontal impacts.
·
Inflation and deflation take place
very quickly and will not provide
protection against the effects of
secondary impacts that can occur
during multiple vehicle collisions.

Airbag SRS
33 Service information
After a period of ten years some airbag
components will need to be changed (note the
airbag SRS service date shown on page 2 of
the Owner Information & Service Record
book). To ensure absolute safety, this work
must ONLY be carried out by a Land Rover
dealer, who should stamp and sign the
appropriate page of the Owner Information &
Service Record book once the work has been
completed.
In addition, ALWAYS contact your dealer if:

from the glass. 

Instruments
36
1. Tachometer
Indicates engine speed in revolutions per
minute. In normal driving conditions the
engine is most fuel efficient between 2000 and
3000 rev/min.
Vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter
are fitted with a system which automatically
restricts the number of engine revolutions per
minute once the engines maximum
governed speed has been reached.
On some models, the tachometer has a red
danger zone. NEVER allow engine speeds to
increase so that the needle enters the RED
zone!

6. Temperature gauge
Once the engine coolant has reached its
normal operating temperature, the pointer
should remain between theC(cold) andH
(hot) segments. If the pointer enters the HOT
segment, stop the vehicle as soon as safety
permits and seek qualified assistance before
continuing.
7. Fuel gauge
The pointer indicates the fuel level even when
the starter switch is turned off. After
refuelling, the gauge slowly changes to the
new level when the starter switch is turned to
