objects, in contact with, or close to,  
an airbag module. Only use approved  
accessories (e.g. seat covers).  
Airbag wiring harness.  
Airbags cannot deploy correctly if they are  
obstructed. Examples of obstructions are:-  
Ensure 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.  
Any part of an occupants body in contact  
with, or close to, an airbag cover.  
Objects placed on, or close to, an airbag  
cover.  
Airbags inflate at high speeds. To  
minimise the risk of injury, ensure  
that all vehicle occupants wear  
correctly positioned seat belts, sit  
correctly in the seats, and position the  
seats as far back as practical.  
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.  
Airbag inflation takes place  
instantaneously and cannot protect  
against the effects of secondary  
impacts. Under these circumstances  
the only protection will be provided by  
a correctly worn seat belt.  
This list is not exhaustive and it remains the  
responsibility of the driver and passengers to  
ensure that the airbags are not obstructed in  
any way.

requirements for, vehicles fitted with  
SRS. If you are in any doubt, seek  
advice from your Dealer/Authorised  
repairer.  
Minor front impacts.  
Minor side impacts.  
Heavy braking.  
Airbag deployment is dependent on the rate at  
which the passenger compartment changes  
velocity following the collision. Circumstances  
affecting different collisions (vehicle speed,  
angle of impact, type and size of object hit,  
etc.), vary considerably and will affect the rate  
of deceleration accordingly.  
Driving over bumps and pot holes.  
High speed impacts may cause  
serious injury or death irrespective of  
safety features fitted to a vehicle.  
The airbag SRS cannot provide  
protection in some types of impact.  
Under these circumstances the only  
protection will be provided by a  
correctly worn seat belt.  
The Supplementary Restraint System  
components include:-  
SRS warning indicator.  
Rotary coupler.
