Pass the tether strap over the top of the seat 
and beneath the underside of the head restraint. 
Attach the clip on the head of the tether strap to 
the appropriate tether anchor.

SRS/AIRBAG
The airbag supplementary restraint system 
(SRS) incorporates front, side thorax and side 
head airbags for the driver and front passenger 
and side head airbags for the outer rear 
passengers (see illustration for airbag 
locations). 
WARNING
Always remember; the SRS/airbags are a 
supplemental restraint system providing 
ADDITIONAL protection in certain types of 
collision only - they DO NOT replace the need 
to wear a seat belt. To reduce the risk of 
severe injury...

Airbag SRS
63
WARNING
DO NOT allow occupants to obstruct the 
operation of the airbag modules by placing 
their feet, knees or any part of their person in 
contact with, or close to, an airbag module 
whilst the vehicle is moving.
WARNING
Following inflation, some SRS/airbag 
components are hot - DO NOT touch until they 
have cooled.
Even with SRS/airbag equipment fitted, seat 
belts must ALWAYS be worn because inflation 
and deflation of the side thorax and front 
airbags takes place very quickly and...

Seating positions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of accidental injury from 
inflating airbags, seat belts should be 
correctly worn at all times. In addition, both 
driver and front seat passenger should adjust 
their seat to provide the maximum practical 
distance from the front airbags. Front seat 
and outer rear seat occupants should also 
ensure that a gap is maintained between the 
upper torso and head, and the side of the 
vehicle, to enable unobstructed inflation of 
the side thorax for...

Airbag SRS
65
Dual stage deployment
The front airbags deploy in two stages, 
depending on the severity of the frontal 
collision. The unit monitors the rate of 
deceleration or acceleration during the impact 
and, if a relatively minor frontal impact in which 
airbag deployment is warranted occurs, the 
airbags only inflate sufficiently to help protect 
the front seat occupants from the forward 
movement caused by the impact. If, however 
the system detects a relatively severe frontal 
impact, the...

Airbag SRS
66
Side airbags
WARNING
Ensure that a gap is maintained between the 
upper torso and the side of the vehicle, to 
enable unobstructed inflation of the side 
thorax airbags.
Side thorax airbags are designed to help protect 
the thorax region of the torso and will only 
deploy in the event of a severe side impact. 
They will NOT inflate as a result of frontal or 
rear impacts only or in the event of a minor side 
impact.
In the event of a severe side collision, the 
airbags on the impacted side...

SRS/Airbag system warning light
A warning light mounted on the instrument 
panel will alert you to any malfunction of the 
SRS/airbag system. The SRS/airbag system 
should always be checked by a retailer if any of 
the following symptoms occur. These indicate a 
fault and may result in the SRS/airbag not 
operating as required in the event of an impact.
•The warning light fails to illuminate when 
the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’.

SERVICE INFORMATION
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to service, repair, replace, 
modify or tamper with any part of the 
SRS/airbag system, or wiring in the vicinity of 
an SRS/airbag system component; this could 
cause the system to activate, resulting in 
personal injury.
Any notable damage to SRS components or 
covers, e.g. tears, burns, holes, chemical/ 
detergent damage or previous accidental 
damage, etc, however produced, may cause 
the SRS module/s to fail. Ensure that any

Disposing of vehicles
If you sell your vehicle, be sure to inform the 
new owner that the vehicle has an SRS/airbag 
system and make the new owner aware of the 
airbag module replacement date shown in the 
Passport to Service.

airbags are potentially very dangerous and 
must be safely deployed in a controlled 
environment by qualified personnel, before a 
vehicle is scrapped.
See your Land Rover retailer for advice on safe 
deployment of...
