SRS/Airbag

CHILD SEATS
Children aged 12 years and under are more
likely to receive injuries from inflating airbags
than adult occupants. For this reason, it is
recommended that children should always be
seated in the rear of the vehicle in a child
safety seat or restraint system appropriate to
their age and size (see ’Seat belts’).
If it is necessary for a child to travel in the
front, set the seat fully rearwards and use a
front facing child seat ONLY.
WARNING
DO NOT USE A REAR FACING CHILD SEAT IN
ANY FRONT SEAT LOCATION. If the
passenger airbag inflates, it could impact
with the child restraint causing serious
injury to the child.
Children could be endangered in a crash if
their child restraints are not properly
secured in the vehicle. Be sure to install
child restraints according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Under no circumstances should a rear facing
child seat be installed facing forward in any
seating position.
Service information
After a period of time (10 years for front
airbags, and 15 years for side airbags) from
the original date of registration (or the
installation date of a replacement airbag
module), some components will need to be
replaced. Note the ’airbag module replacement
date’ shown on page 2 of the Service Portfolio
book. To ensure absolute safety, it is
recommended that this work is carried out by
a Land Rover dealer who should stamp and
sign the appropriate page of the Service
Portfolio book once the work is complete.
In addition, ALWAYS contact your dealer if:
• an airbag inflates
• the front or side of the vehicle is damaged,
even if the corresponding airbag has not
inflated.
• any part of an airbag module cover shows
signs of deterioration or damage.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to service repair, replace,
modify or tamper with any part of the airbag
SRS, or wiring in the vicinity of an airbag
SRS component; this could cause the
system to activate, resulting in personal
injury.
