Range Rover Evoque - AIRBAG OBSTRUCTION; FRONT AIRBAGS

AIRBAG OBSTRUCTION
Do not obstruct the operation of
the airbags by placing any part of
your person or any objects in
contact with, or close to, an
airbag module. If the airbag
inflates, objects or any part of
your person could interfere with
the inflation of the airbag or be
propelled inside the vehicle,
causing injury to the occupants.
Do not allow passengers to
obstruct the operation of the
airbags by placing feet, knees, or
any other part of the body, or any
other objects in contact with, or
in close proximity to, an airbag
module.
Do not place objects between the
airbag module and the seat
occupant. If the airbag inflates,
objects or any part of a person
could interfere with the inflation
of the airbag or be propelled
inside the vehicle, causing injury
to the occupants.
Do not use non-approved seat
covers or accessory seat covers
that have not been designed for
use with airbags. If in doubt,
consult your Retailer/Authorised
Repairer.
Make sure that a gap is
maintained between the side of
the vehicle, and the head and
torso. This will enable
unobstructed inflation of the
curtain, and seat-mounted side
airbags.
Do not attach or position items
on, or close to, the roof lining,
front seat backrests, or to an
airbag cover, which could
interfere with the inflation of the
airbag or be propelled inside the
vehicle, causing injury to the
occupants.
Airbags cannot deploy correctly if they are
obstructed. Examples of obstructions are:
• Any part of an occupant’s body in
contact with, or close to, an airbag
cover.
• Objects placed on, or close to, an
airbag cover.
• Clothing, sun screens, or other
material hanging from grab handles.
• Clothing, cushions, or other material
covering seat-mounted airbags.
• Seat covers which are not approved
by Land Rover, or specifically designed
for use with seat-mounted airbags.
This list is not exhaustive and it remains
the responsibility of the driver and
passengers to make sure the airbags are
not obstructed in any way.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front passenger and driver airbags are
able to deploy in 2 stages, depending on
the severity of the frontal impact. In a
severe impact, the airbags inflate fully to
offer maximum protection. In a lesser
impact, full deployment is not required,
so the airbags are partially inflated.
The knee-bolster airbag will always fully
inflate.
