Locks & Alarm 20 CHILD-PROOF LOCKS Move the locking levers on the rear doors and taildoor down to engage the child locks. With the child-proof locks engaged, neither the rear doors nor the taildoor can be opened from inside the vehicle, thereby avoiding the risk of a door being opened accidentally while the vehicle is moving. WARNING TO AVOID INJURY OR DEATH, NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNSUPERVISED IN THE VEHICLE. DOOR LOCKING CUT-OFF SWITCH An inertia switch, operational only with the starter switch in position ‘II’ and the alarm disarmed, prevents the doors centrally locking (or if the doors are locked, will unlock them) in the event of an accident or sudden impact. When the switch operates, the direction indicator lights flash (if market permits), until the system is reset by turning the starter switch on and off, and opening and closing the drivers door. Note that doors cannot be locked again until the switch is reset. The inertia switch also cuts off the fuel supply (see ‘FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH’, page 97). WARNING Always check for fuel leaks before resetting the switch! Activating the switch when the fuel system has been damaged (evidenced by fuel leakage or fuel odor) will cause additional fuel leakage increasing the risk of fire and personal injury. H2464H2574
Locks & Alarm 21 ALARM OR HANDSET DIFFICULTIES Alarm goes off unexpectedly. Ensure all windows, doors, hood and sunroof(s) are closed. Vehicle will not start. Press unlock button on handset. If it still will not start, consult your Land Rover dealer. Hazard lights dont flash when alarm is armed.Ensure all doors and the hood are fully closed. Doors unlock and hazard lights start to flash when vehicle is in motion.The inertia switch has been triggered - see ‘DOOR LOCKING CUT-OFF SWITCH’, page 20. If fault continues, consult your Land Rover dealer. Within range of the vehicle, the handset appears to malfunction.The handset may have lost synchronisation. Press the lock button on the handset four times whilst within range of the vehicle.
Seats 22 SeatsPOWER OPERATED FRONT SEATS WARNING To avoid the risk of loss of control and personal injury, DO NOT adjust the drivers seat while the vehicle is in motion. The seat adjustment controls are situated on the side of the centrally mounted cubby box. Seat adjustment is only possible when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ or for 45 seconds after opening the drivers door. Forward/backward adjustment Push and hold the switch forwards or backwards to move the seat to the desired position.Seat cushion angle adjustment Twist the switch to tilt the seat cushion to the desired position. Note that the front and rear of the switch work independently - the front raising or lowering the front of the cushion, the rear of the switch similarly controlling the rear of the seat cushion. H2623H2624
Seats 23 Seat cushion height adjustment On the drivers seat only, the height of the seat cushion can be adjusted. Push the switch up or down to raise or lower the cushion. Lumbar support adjustment Push the switch up to increase support to the lumbar region of the back. Lower the switch to reduce lumbar support.Seat back adjustment Twist the switch forward or backward until the desired seat back angle is achieved. WARNING DO NOT travel with the seat backs reclined steeply rearwards. Optimum benefit is obtained from the seat belt with the seat back angle set to approximately 15 degrees from the upright (vertical). Failure to maintain the correct seat back angle will reduce the effectiveness of the seat belts and increase the risk of serious injury or death in a crash. H2625 H2626 H2627
Seats 24 HEAD RESTRAINTS Pull the head restraint up or down until the cushion is level with the back of the head. WARNING Head restraints are designed to support the back of the head (NOT THE NECK), and to restrain rearward movement of the head in the event of a collision. The restraint must be positioned level with the head to be effective. DO NOT drive or carry passengers with the head restraints removed from occupied seats. Failure to have the head restraint installed and properly positioned will increase the potential for serious injuries. Head restraint removal Turn both mounting collars fully anti-clockwise and pull the restraint upwards to remove. After replacing a head restraint turn the mounting collars clockwise. FOLDING ARMRESTS* Some vehicles are fitted with adjustable front seat armrests, which can be either stowed vertically in line with the seat backrest when not required, or folded horizontally to serve as an arm/elbow rest. The height/angle of each armrest can be adjusted by turning the knob set into the end of the armrest: clockwise to raise and anti-clockwise to lower. H2465 H2553
Seats 25 HEATED FRONT SEATS* With the starter switch turned on and the engine running, press the switches to operate the heating elements in either the drivers or front passenger seat (the indicator light in the switch illuminates). Press a second time to switch off. The seat heaters are thermostatically controlled and operate intermittently to achieve and then maintain a predetermined temperature between 79° F and 97° F (26° - 36°C). FOLDING THE REAR SEATS WARNING DO NOT adjust any part of a seat while the vehicle is in motion. Vehicle movement may cause the unlatched seat to suddenly shift, potentially causing injury. One or both parts of the split rear seat can be either partially or fully folded to further increase the rear loadspace, using the following instructions: IMPORTANT INFORMATION The seat heaters consume considerable power from the battery. For this reason, they should ONLY be operated while the engine is running. H2517 H2493
Seats 26 1.Remove the loadspace cover (see ‘LOADSPACE COVER’, page 81). 2.To release either part of the backrest, lift the lever shown in the inset, and then fold the backrest onto the seat base. 3.Ensure the outer head restraints are fully lowered, the armrest is stowed and the centre head restraint is removed. 4.To release the seat base, pull the release strap upward (arrowed in illustration). With backrest and seat base released, the assembly can be folded forward as shown. 5.Ensure the loadspace cover is stowed in the rear passenger seat footwell, under the stowed seat.Returning the seat to the upright position Push the seat assembly back onto the floor - the floor catches should latch with the base of the seat. Then raise the backrest. If the backrest cannot be raised easily, DO NOT force it. This indicates that the seat base has not fully engaged with the floor catches (note that the seat assembly is designed to prevent the backrest from being raised unless the seat is properly secured to the floor). With the seat base secure, the backrest can be raised and locked in position (none of the RED panel on the release lever should be visible when the backrest is correctly latched). Ensure that any head restraints which were removed, are repositioned before driving the vehicle. Finally, refit the loadspace cover. WARNING After the seat is returned to the upright position, the latching mechanism should be checked and physically tested to ensure that both the seat base and backrest are secure before driving. In a frontal impact, if the rear seat is not secured (fully latched), it may swing forward contacting the seat in front of it increasing the risk of injury or death to occupants in those seats. H2549
Seats 27 Preventing chafing When the larger portion (or whole) of the seat is fully folded, some chafing may occur between the seat and the cubby box (note that this is most likely to occur when the front seats are adjusted fully forward). If chafing is apparent, risk of damage to the seat cover can be reduced by fitting the securing strap as shown. The strap can be found in the tool bag in the tail door storage pocket. 1.Fold the backrest forward. 2.Fit one end of the strap to the press-stud fastening on the underside of the seat base (it will be necessary to partially raise the seat base in order to visually locate the fastening). 3.Stretch the strap around the folded seat assembly and secure the free end to the press-stud fastener on the rear of the backrest. Compressing the folded seat assembly in this way should alleviate chafing and any subsequent damage to the seat cover when the seat is folded fully. OCCASIONAL REAR SEATS* NOTE: The occasional rear seats are fitted with an interlock that prevents the seat back from being raised if the seat is not latched to the floor properly. WARNING For safety, before driving with passengers seated in the occasional rear seats, ensure that all occupants are properly restrained. Otherwise occupants seated in these seats will be subjected to a greater risk of injury or death in a crash or rollover. Do not carry passengers in the occasional rear seats if a dog guard is fitted between the second row of seats and the loadspace. Otherwise occupants of these seats may impact with the dog guard in the event of a crash or rollover increasing the risk of injury. Erecting the seats 1.Push the outboard lever (shown in inset) and hold to release the seat from its stowed position. H3053 H3045 1
Seats 28 2.Swing the seat away from the vehicle side, at the same time lifting and turning it towards the horizontal. 3.Lower the seat to the loadspace floor, PUSHING DOWN FIRMLY to ensure that the floor latch has fully engaged. 4.Pull the backrest into the upright position. NOTE: The backrest cannot be raised unless the seat is securely latched to the floor. Stowing the seats NOTE: Before stowing a seat, ensure that the drinks tray to the side of the seat has been emptied, and that the seat belt buckle is folded down to prevent it from becoming trapped between the backrest and cushion. 1.Push the backrest release lever forward to unlock the backrest. 2.Fold the backrest fully forward. 3.Turn the twist grip (moving part of the bar on the back of the seat) fully forward to release the floor latch, and start to lift the seat from the loadspace floor. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Remember to unfold the head restraints from the roof before driving. H3046 2 H3047 3 4 H3049 1 2 H3050 3
Seats 29 4.Continue lifting, at the same time turning the seat into a vertical position. 5.Push the seat firmly into the vehicle side, ensuring that the seat has engaged fully with the securing catch. 6.Stow the head restraints (see opposite). Head restraints NOTE: The head restraints for use with the occasional rear seats are hinged from the roof. 1.To unfold a head restraint, pull the handle (arrowed in illustration) forward and swing the restraint down from the roof. Stow the head restraint when not in use by pulling down the handle and pushing the restraint back flush with the roof. WARNING DO NOT drive with occupants in the occasional rear seats unless the head restraints are unfolded. Failure to unfold the head restraints from the roof when that seat is occupied will increase the potential for serious injuries. H3051 4 H3052 5 H3544
