Fitting ISOFIX child restraints
ISOFIX child restraints should only be fitted in 
the two outer seating positions of the second 
row seats. Anchor bars built into the rear seat 
frame (arrowed in illustration), enable the 
ISOFIX restraints to be securely attached to the 
vehicle seat in these positions only. The anchor 
bars are shown in the illustration insets above.
In addition, two tether anchor bars are fitted to 
back of the rear seats (see lower illustration), to 
secure child...

(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).

system that provides ADDITIONAL protection 
in a severe impact only - it does NOT replace 
the need to wear a seat belt.

WARNING
Do not allow passengers to obstruct the 
operation of the airbags by placing feet, 
knees or any other part of the person, or any 
other objects in contact with, or in close 
proximity to, an airbag module.
DO NOT attach or position items on, or close 
to the roof lining, front pillar and ‘B’ post

HOW THE AIRBAG SRS WORKS
In the event of a collision, the airbag control 
unit monitors the rate of deceleration or 
acceleration induced by the collision, to 
determine whether the airbags should be 
deployed. 
Operation of the airbag SRS is dependent 
entirely on the rate at which the vehicles 
passenger compartment changes speed as a 
result of a collision. The circumstances 
affecting different collisions (vehicle speed, 
angle of impact, type and size of object hit, for 
example), vary...

Airbag SRS
46
Airbag inflation is virtually instantaneous and 
occurs with considerable force, accompanied 
by a loud noise. The inflated bag, together with 
the seat belt restraint system, limit the 
movement of an occupant, thereby reducing 
the risk of injury to the head and upper torso.
When an airbag inflates, a fine powder is 
released. This is not an indication of a 
malfunction. However, the powder may cause 
irritation to the skin and should be thoroughly 
flushed from the eyes and any cuts or...

Side head impact protection*
NOTE: For the side head impact airbags to 
deploy correctly, the roof lining and front pillar 
trim must be undamaged and fitted correctly. 
Any damage or suspect fitting should be 
referred to a Land Rover dealer for examination.
Side head impact airbags are designed to 
protect the head in the event of a severe side 
impact only. They will NOT inflate as a result of 
frontal or rear impacts alone.
The side head impact protection modules are 
located behind the...

Disposing of vehicles
If you sell your vehicle, be sure to inform the 
new owner that the vehicle has an airbag SRS. 
In addition, make sure the new owner is aware 
of the airbag module replacement date shown 
on page 2 of the Service Portfolio book.
If your vehicle is to be scrapped; uninflated 
airbags are potentially very dangerous and 
must be safely deployed in a controlled 
environment by qualified personnel, before a 
vehicle is scrapped.
