Introduction

This handbook covers all derivatives in the Freelander range available at the date of publication and, together with the other publications in the literature pack, provides the information you will need to derive maximum pleasure from owning and driving your new vehicle.

For your convenience, the handbook is divided into sections, each dealing with a different aspect of the vehicle. These are listed on the following page and you will find it worthwhile to take a little time to read each one, and get to know your Freelander as soon as you possibly can. The more you understand before you drive, the greater the satisfaction once you are seated behind the steering wheel.

*An asterisk appearing within the text, identifies features or items of equipment that are either

optional, or are only fitted to some vehicles in the model range.

IMPORTANT

The specification of each vehicle will vary according to territorial requirements and also from model to model within the vehicle range. Some of the information published in this handbook, therefore, may not apply to your particular vehicle.

Land Rover operates a policy of constant product improvement and therefore reserves the right to change specifications without notice at any time. Whilst every effort is made to ensure complete accuracy of the information in this handbook, no liabilities for inaccuracies or the consequences thereof can be accepted by the manufacturer or the dealer, except in respect of personal injury caused by the negligence of the manufacturer or the dealer.

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash, or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in addition to notifying Land Rover North America Inc.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints it may open an investigation. If it subsequently finds that a safety related defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.

However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you and your retailer and/or Land Rover North America.

AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE

To contact NHTSA, you may call the Auto Safety HOTLINE toll free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 202-366-0123 in the Washington D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, DC20590.

IN AN EMERGENCY ANTI-THEFT PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT

Remember the breakdown safety code

If a breakdown occurs while travelling:

• Wherever possible, consistent with road safety and traffic conditions, the vehicle should be moved off the main thoroughfare, preferably into a lay-by. If a breakdown occurs on a motorway, pull well over to the inside of the hard shoulder.

• Switch on hazard lights.

• If possible, position a warning triangle

or a flashing amber light at an appropriate distance from the vehicle to warn other traffic of the breakdown, (note the legal requirements of some countries).

• Consider evacuating passengers through nearside doors onto the verge as a precaution in case your vehicle is accidentally struck by other traffic.

While it may be difficult to deter the ‘professional’ car thief, the majority of thefts are carried out by opportunists. Therefore, take vehicle security very seriously and ALWAYS adopt this simple ‘four point drill’ whenever you leave your vehicle - even for just a few minutes:

1. Fully close all the windows (and the

*).

sunroof

2. Remove your belongings (or hide them

from view).

3. Remove the starter key.

4. Superlock the vehicle using the remote

handset.

Thieves are attracted by vulnerable vehicles. Even if you have followed the ‘four point drill’ there is still much that you can do to make your vehicle a less inviting target.

• Park your vehicle where it will be clearly visible to householders and passers-by.

• At night park in well-lit areas, and avoid deserted or dimly-lit side streets.

• NEVER leave the keys in the vehicle.

• Do not keep important documents (or spare

keys) in the vehicle - these are a real bonus for the thief.

To unlock the steering column

Insert the key FULLY and turn the ignition switch to position ‘I’. A small movement of the steering wheel may be necessary to disengage the steering lock while turning the switch.

To lock the steering column

Turn the key to position ‘0’ and withdraw it from the ignition switch. Turn the steering wheel slightly until the lock engages.

WARNING

Once the steering lock has engaged, it is impossible to steer the vehicle. DO NOT remove the key or turn the ignition switch to position ‘0’ while the vehicle is in motion.

ALARM SYSTEM

Your vehicle is fitted with a sophisticated electronic anti-theft alarm and engine immobilisation system. In order to ensure maximum security and minimum inconvenience, you are strongly advised to gain a full understanding of the alarm system, by thoroughly reading this section of the handbook.

LOCKING THE VEHICLE AND ARMING THE ALARM

Before locking the vehicle and arming the alarm, ensure that all doors (including taildoor), windows, sunroof and bonnet apertures are securely closed.

There are three methods for securing your vehicle:

• ‘Superlocking’ using the handset (recommended high security method).

• ‘Superlocking’ using the key.

• Locking using the key.

IMPORTANT

• If passengers or animals are to be left inside, DO NOT lock the vehicle using the handset - movement inside the vehicle may activate interior space

protection sound.

• FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY ALWAYS SUPERLOCK THE VEHICLE USING THE REMOTE HANDSET

*, causing the alarm to

Using the remote handset

Locking

With the remote handset:

H5023

While it is not necessary to point the handset at the vehicle, the handset must be within range of the vehicle when a button is pressed. Note that the operating range may vary depending upon handset battery condition and may sometimes be limited by physical and geographical factors beyond your control. From a security point of view, it may not be wise to unlock unless you are in close proximity to the vehicle.

H5024

Press the lock (padlock symbol (1) button once. Each time the vehicle is locked using the handset, a coded signal is transmitted to a receiver inside the vehicle, which activates the following security features:

• the central door locking system (all the door locks are activated).

• ‘Superlocking’ - the door locks cannot be operated from inside the vehicle.

• the perimetric alarm (protects the door, taildoor, and hood apertures).

If the doors lock correctly, the direction indicator lights flash three times to confirm that the vehicle is secure and the anti-theft alarm indicator light (in the instrument panel) will start to flash rapidly.

Once armed, the alarm will sound if any door is opened.

Page 38

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Locks & Alarm

With the key:

Insert the key and turn the door lock towards the rear of the vehicle. Turning the key ONCE activates the following:

• all doors locked (not superlocked)

• perimetric alarm activated (protects the

doors, bonnet and taildoor)

NOTE: Interior space protection activated.

Turning the key TWICE within 1 second activates, in addition to the above:

• Superlocking

If the doors lock correctly, the direction indicators flash three times to confirm that the vehicle is secure and the anti-theft alarm indicator light (in the instrument panel) will start to flash rapidly.

NOTE: The engine will automatically be immobilised after the ignition switch has been turned off.

* is not

Superlocking

Provided all the doors are fully closed, the Superlocking feature is activated automatically whenever the vehicle is locked using the remote handset. Superlocking immobilises the interior door handles, thereby preventing an intruder from gaining entry by smashing a window and reaching inside the vehicle to operate the door handles.

WARNING

For safety, NEVER use Superlocking if passengers are to remain inside the vehicle in an emergency they would not be able to escape.

Mislock

If one of the doors, taildoor or hood are not properly closed when the alarm is armed, a mislock occurs (the horn will sound a warning). The alarm will still be armed and the engine immobilised, but the open aperture will not be protected. If the appropriate aperture is then closed, the alarm will fully arm without the need to press the lock button again unless the driver's door is open, in which case the alarm will be fully armed by pressing the lock button again.

If the taildoor glass is left open when the alarm is armed, the horn will sound as a reminder, but the vehicle will be locked and alarmed as normal. The taildoor glass can be closed from outside the vehicle using the ignition key in the taildoor (see ‘Raising and lowering’, page 78).

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Locks & Alarm

Anti-theft alarm indicator light

H5026

After locking, the RED indicator light on the instrument panel flashes rapidly while the alarm is arming itself.

After approximately 10 seconds, the indicator light adjusts to a slower frequency, and continues to flash as an anti-theft deterrent until the alarm is disarmed.

Unlocking

With the remote handset:

If your vehicle has been configured with the Single Point Entry security feature, and was locked with the handset, the handset unlocks the vehicle in two stages:

• Press the unlock (no padlock) button once to disarm the alarm and unlock the driver's door only (see ‘Single point entry’, page 35).

• Press the unlock button twice to disarm the

alarm and unlock ALL the doors.

If your vehicle has not been configured with Single Point Entry, all the doors will unlock at the first press. In either case, the direction indicators flash once and the interior lights illuminate.

With the key:

Turn the key towards the front of the vehicle. The alarm will be fully disarmed. To re-mobilise the engine, the key must be inserted into the ignition switch.

If the alarm sounds

If the alarm is triggered, it will sound for approximately 30 seconds before switching itself off and can be triggered up to ten times in total before needing to be reset.

To silence the alarm, press either handset button, or operate the door locks using the key in the driver's door.

Single point entry

This is a personal security feature, which enables the driver's door only to be unlocked, leaving the other doors in a locked state. It can be operated by the remote handset as follows:

Press the unlock button once to unlock the driver's door, press a second time to unlock the remaining doors and taildoor.

Single point entry can be disabled by a Land Rover Retailer.

ENGINE IMMOBILISATION

Engine immobilisation is an important aspect of the security system and is designed to safeguard the vehicle from theft, should the driver forget to lock the doors. Engine immobilisation prevents the engine from being started unless a valid key is inserted into the ignition switch, and occurs automatically after the ignition switch has been turned off.

The engine is re-mobilised by a signal to the ignition switch transmitted from a transponder contained within the key head. This occurs automatically whenever a valid key is inserted into the ignition switch and turned to position ‘I’.

WARNING

DO NOT keep more than one ignition key or keys from other vehicles on the same key ring, because the engine may not re-mobilise automatically.

DOOR LOCKING CUT-OFF SWITCH

H5033

An inertia switch, which operates when the ignition switch is in position ‘II’, prevents the doors from centrally locking (or, if the doors are already locked, unlocks them) in the event of an accident or sudden impact. If this occurs, central locking will be inhibited until either:

• the ignition switch is turned off and the driver’s door has been opened and closed, or:

• the driver’s door has been opened and closed, and the inertia switch is reset.

The inertia switch is located inside the engine compartment on the left hand side, beneath and to the rear of, the engine compartment fuse box. The switch must be reset before the engine can be restarted. Reset the switch by pressing the rubber top (arrowed in illustration).

This will also reset the fuel system, see ‘FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH’, page 114).

Page 43

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Locks & Alarm

Always check for fuel leaks before resetting the switch. Activating the switch when the fuel system has been damaged will cause additional fuel leakage, increasing the risk of fire or personal injury.

WARNING

REMOTE HANDSET

WARNING

The handset contains delicate electronic circuits and must be protected from impact, water damage, high temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight, the effects of solvents, waxes and abrasive cleaners.

When the battery needs replacing, it will be apparent from the following symptoms:

• A gradual deterioration in range and performance.

• The alarm buzzer and the anti-theft alarm indicator light will double bleep/flash every second, for ten seconds, after the alarm is disarmed and driver's door opened.

It is recommended that you fit a Land Rover YWX10003L or a Panasonic CR2032 replacement battery (available from a Land Rover Retailer).

Battery replacement

Handset re-synchronisation

If the handset fails to lock or unlock the car, this may be because the coded signal transmitted by the handset, and the signal expected by the alarm control unit are no longer synchronised.

To re-synchronise the handset, operate either button of the handset at least five times in quick succession (in close proximity to the vehicle).

H5025

1. Carefully prise the handset apart, start

from the keyring end using a small coin or screwdriver. Avoid damaging the seal between the two halves of the case and DO NOT allow dirt or moisture to get inside the handset.

2. Slide the battery out of its clip, taking care

to avoid touching the circuit board or the contact surfaces of the clip.

3. Press and hold each button in turn for at

least five seconds (this will drain any residual power from the handset).

4. Fit the new battery, ensuring that correct

polarity is maintained (‘+’ side facing up). Finger marks will adversely affect battery life; if possible, avoid touching the flat surfaces of the battery and wipe them clean before fitting.

5. Press the two halves of the handset firmly

together and ensure that both halves are fully joined to prevent dirt or moisture from entering the handset.

6. Re-synchronise the handset.

The handset is now ready for use.

FRONT SEATS

WARNING

To avoid the risk of losing control of the vehicle and sustaining personal injury, DO NOT adjust the driver's seat or head restraint while the vehicle is in motion.

DO NOT travel with the seat backs reclined steeply rearwards. Optimum benefit is obtained from the seat belt with the seat back reclined to a maximum 30 degrees from the upright (vertical) position.

SITTING CORRECTLY

max. 30

• Adjust the head restraints so that the top of the head restraint is level with the upper portion of the head.

• The seat belt should rest in the centre of the shoulder. The lap part should fit tightly across the hips and not on the stomach.

• Do not move the front seat too close to the instrument panel. The driver should hold the steering wheel with slightly bent arms. The legs should also be slightly bent so that the pedals can be pressed to the floor.

WARNING

Both driver, and front seat passenger should adjust their seat to provide the maximum practical distance from the airbags to prevent injury should the airbags be deployed.

H4767

The seats, head restraints, seat belts, and airbags all contribute to the protection of the occupants. Optimal use of these components will give you more protection. Therefore, observe the following points:

• Sit in the most upright position with the base of your spine as far back as possible and the backrest not reclined more than 30 degrees.

With the engine running, press the switches to operate the heating elements in either the driver's or front passenger seat (the indicator light in the switch illuminates). Press a second time to switch off.

NOTE: The seat heaters will switch off automatically 45 seconds after the ignition switch is turned off, or either front door is opened.

The seat heaters are thermostatically controlled and operate intermittently to achieve and then maintain a predetermined temperature between

F and 97oF (26oC and 36o°C).

NOTE: The operating temperature will drop to 50oF (10oC) during the operation cycle.

NOTE: Owners should be aware that the seat heaters consume considerable power from the battery and for this reason, it is recommended that they are operated only with the engine running.

Seats

REAR SEATS Folding the rear seats

On vehicles not fitted with 60/40 split rear seats the whole seat can be folded forwards to increase luggage space. On vehicles fitted with 60/40 split rear seats, either or both parts of the seat can be folded.

NOTE: Before folding the rear seats, ensure that the centre rear seat belt is unbuckled.

WARNING

Ensure that the rear seat backrests are securely latched in the upright position when the seat is in use and when loads are carried in the luggage area.

DO NOT carry unsecured equipment, tools or luggage that could move causing personal injury in the event of an accident or emergency manoeuvre. Where possible, use the seat belts to secure luggage carried on the seats.

Accommodating long loads

Remove the head restraints from the front passenger and rear seats (see ‘Head restraint removal’, page 42), move the front passenger seat forwards as far as possible and fully recline the seat backrest. Finally, fold the rear seat backrest (or the appropriate part of the backrest in the case of 60/40 split seats) fully forward as shown.

Loads that are too long to be carried inside the vehicle should be carried on the roof. (See ‘ROOF RACK’, page 153).

If it is necessary to carry a load that protrudes through the taildoor, or taildoor window, be aware of any territorial regulation restricting the length of any such load. In addition, ensure that loads DO NOT rest on the glass of a partially open window. Damage to the glass or window mechanism may occur.

WARNING

3366

Lift the release levers (see inset) to release the backrest (lift both levers simultaneously on vehicles without 60/40 split seats) and fold the backrest forwards.

WARNING

You are advised NOT to carry loads which require driving with the taildoor, or taildoor window open, as poisonous fumes will be drawn into the vehicle. If driving the vehicle in this condition is unavoidable, switch the heater to face level vents with all vents open, close the sunroof air blower to position 4.

To create extra luggage space:

1. Lift the seat release levers to release the

backrest and fold the seat backrest forward.

2. Tip the whole seat assembly forward as

shown in illustration and readjust the front seats as required.

To return the seats to their normal position; push the seat base release levers (shown in lower inset) rearwards to unlock the seat base and unfold the seats. Ensure the seat backrests are properly secured by attempting to push them forwards - there should be no movement.

WARNING

It is extremely dangerous to ride in the cargo area. In a collision, anyone riding in this area is more likely to be injured or killed. Do not allow anyone to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sure that everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a safety belt properly.

A ‘latch secure’ indicator, mounted on the top of the right hand side of the rear seat backrest, will pop up showing a red band, when the catch is released.

When returning the seat to the upright position, ensure the indicator drops back into the backrest and that the red band is no longer visible - this confirms that the larger portion of the backrest is secure.

NOTE: The ‘latch secure’ indicator does NOT indicate that the smaller portion of the 60/40 split backrest is secure - this must be checked individually.

NOTE: When returning the seats to the upright position, ensure that the seat belts are not trapped.

SEAT BELT SAFETY

WARNING

In a collision, occupants not wearing a seat belt can be thrown around inside, or possibly thrown out of the vehicle. This is likely to result in more serious injuries than would have been the case had a seatbelt been worn. It may even result in the loss of life.

Seat belts fitted to your vehicle are designed for adults and larger children. Each belt should be used by one occupant only.

Observe the following precautions:

• Ensure ALL passengers are securely strapped in at all times, using the appropriate restraint - even for the shortest journeys.

• ALWAYS adjust seat belts to eliminate any slack in the webbing. DO NOT slacken the webbing by holding the belt away from the body - to be fully effective, the seat belt must remain in full contact with the body at all times.

• ALWAYS fit the lap strap as low on the hips as possible (never across the abdomen), and ensure that the diagonal belt passes across the shoulder without slipping off or pressing on the neck.

• DO NOT wear seat belts over hard, sharp or fragile items in clothing, such as pens, keys, spectacles etc.

• Always replace a seat belt assembly that has withstood the strain of a severe vehicle impact, or if the webbing shows signs of fraying.

• Where possible use the seat belts to secure large items of luggage that are to be carried on the seats - in the event of an accident, unsecured items become flying missiles capable of causing serious injury.

• DO NOT use a seat belt that is twisted or obstructed in any way that could impede its smooth operation.

• DO NOT allow front seat occupants to travel with the seat backs reclined steeply rearwards. Optimum benefit is obtained from the seat belt with the seat back angle reclined to a maximum of 30 degrees from the upright (vertical) position.

• DO NOT allow foreign matter (particularly sugary food and drink) to enter the seat belt locks - such substances can render the locks inoperative.

• In most countries, all occupants are required by law to wear a seat belt, unless they have been issued with a medical exemption certificate.

WARNING

The airbag supplementary restraint system (see ‘Airbag SRS’) is designed to enhance the overall effectiveness of the seat belts. It does not replace them. SEAT BELTS MUST ALWAYS BE WORN.

Ensure that all seat belts are worn correctly an improperly worn seat belt increases the risk of death or serious injury in the event of a collision.

PREGNANT WOMEN

WARNING

Pregnant women must wear a correctly positioned seat belt; it is safer for mother and unborn child.

SEAT BELTS

To minimise injury in the event of an accident, it is important that seat belts are worn correctly. Read the instructions below and the advice contained under the heading ‘SEAT BELT SAFETY’, page 46.

There are many ways that the belt can be misused for the sake of comfort, but there is only one way of wearing it safely.

During pregnancy, women should wear the lap belt across the hips below the baby, with the diagonal belt passing across the shoulder, between the breasts and to one side of the baby

- if in doubt, consult a doctor.

Fastening the seat belts

Inertia reel belts are fitted to all front and rear seating positions.

Draw the belt over the shoulder and across the chest and, ensuring that the webbing is not twisted, insert the metal tongue plate into the buckle nearest the wearer - a ‘CLICK’ indicates

Never place anything between you and the seat belt in an attempt to cushion the impact in the event of an accident. It can be dangerous and reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt in preventing injury.

that the belt is securely locked.

NOTE: The centre rear seat belt tongue plate will not latch into either of the outer seating position buckles.

Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body (pelvis, chest and shoulders) and can only be worn safely with the seats in a near upright position - DO NOT allow front seat occupants to travel with the seat steeply reclined.

NOTE: Where possible, rear seat passengers should adjust their position on the seat to enable the seat belt webbing to cross the shoulder without pressing on the neck.

Seat Belts

SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS

The seat belt pre-tensioners activate in conjunction with the airbag SRS and provide additional protection in the event of a severe frontal impact on the vehicle (see ‘HOW THE AIRBAG SRS WORKS’, page 54). The pre-tensioners automatically tighten the seat belts fitted to the front seats. This reduces any slack in both the lap and diagonal portions of the belts, thereby reducing forward movement of the belt wearer in the event of a severe frontal collision.

The airbag SRS warning light on the instrument panel will alert you to any malfunction of the seat belt pre-tensioners.

If the pre-tensioners have been activated, the seat belts will still function as restraints, and must be worn in the event that the vehicle remains in a driveable condition.

NOTE: The seat belt pre-tensioners will NOT be activated by rear, side or minor frontal impacts.

WARNING

After the seat belt pre-tensioners have been activated once, they MUST BE REPLACED by a Land Rover Retailer. Failure to replace the pre-tensioners will reduce the efficiency of the vehicle's front restraint systems.

After any frontal impact, always have the seat belts and pre-tensioners checked and, if necessary, replaced by a Land Rover Retailer.

In the interests of safety, it is recommended that removal or replacement of the front seats and seat belts should be carried out only by a Land Rover Retailer.

Second row seat belt locking mechanism

The second row seat belts have a special locking mechanism which aids the retention of child seats. The procedure to install a child seat is as follows:

1. Install the child seat in the vehicle, attach

the seat belt and secure the buckle in accordance with the manufacturers fitting instructions.

2. Pull on the shoulder section of the belt to

unreel all of the remaining webbing to the limit of its travel. This will engage the automatic locking feature, which then acts as a ratchet, allowing the webbing to retract ONLY.

3. Allow the seat belt to retract onto the child

seat (a ‘clicking’ sound will confirm that the ratchet has engaged), while firmly pushing the child seat into the vehicle seat.

4. Ensure there is no slack in the seat belt by

pulling upwards on the shoulder belt immediately above the child restraint. The seat belt should now be locked and the child seat held firmly in position.

Once the child seat is removed and all the seat belt webbing is allowed to retract, the seat belt locking mechanism reverts to normal operation.

NOTE: Where possible, use the seat belt automatic locking mechanism to secure large items of luggage that are to be carried on the seats - in the event of an accident, insecure items become flying missiles capable of causing serious injury.

Seat Belts

Service information

DO NOT attempt to service, repair, replace, modify or tamper with any part of the pre-tensioner and airbag SRS, or wiring in the vicinity of a pre-tensioner or airbag SRS component; this could cause the system to activate, resulting in personal injury.

After fifteen years from the original date of registration (or the installation date of a replacement pre-tensioner), some components will need to be replaced by a Land Rover Retailer.

In addition, ALWAYS contact your retailer if:

• an airbag inflates.

• a pre-tensioner activates.

• the front or side of the vehicle is damaged,

even if the pre-tensioner has not activated.

WARNING

CARING FOR SEAT BELTS

Regularly inspect the belt webbing for signs of fraying, cuts and wear; also pay particular attention to the condition of the fixing points and adjusters.

DO NOT bleach or dye the webbing and avoid contaminating the webbing with polish, oil or chemicals (see ‘Seat belts’, page 203).

Testing inertia reel belts

• With the seat belt fastened, give the webbing near the buckle a quick upward pull. The buckle must remain securely locked.

• With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the webbing to the limit of its travel. Check that unreeling is free from snatches and snags and then allow the belt to FULLY retract.

• Partially unreel the webbing, then hold the tongue plate and give it a quick forward pull. The mechanism must lock automatically and prevent any further unreeling.

If a seat belt should fail any of these tests, contact your dealer immediately.

Always replace a seat belt that shows signs of webbing damage or has withstood the strain of a severe vehicle impact.

Child Restraints

CHILD SAFETY SEATS

Seat belts fitted to your vehicle are designed for adults and larger children. It is very important that all infants and children under 12 are restrained in a suitable child safety seat appropriate to their age and size (see table). Child safety seats approved for use in your vehicle are available from Land Rover Retailer.

Only fit a child safety seat of a type approved for the specific seating positions in your vehicle (see table), and ensure the seat manufacturer's fitting instructions are followed exactly.

WARNING

Do not attempt to fit a child safety seat in the central rear position on 3-door vehicles fitted with only four seats.

For optimum safety, children should travel in the rear of the vehicle at all times; front passenger seat travel is NOT recommended. However, if a passenger airbag is fitted and it is ESSENTIAL that a child travels in the front, set the vehicle seat fully rearward and seat the child in an approved FORWARD-FACING child seat. DO NOT use a rear-facing child seat - an inflating airbag could impact with the seat and cause serious injury.

The above symbol affixed to the passenger side fascia panel of your vehicle, warns against the use of a REAR-FACING child safety seat in the front passenger seat, when a passenger airbag is fitted. This type of seat could cause serious injury to a child in the event of an airbag deployment.

DO NOT install a rear-facing child safety seat in a passenger seat equipped with an airbag system. Failure to follow this advice could result in serious injury, or even death, for the child in the event of an airbag deployment.

Airbag SRS

H5204

AIRBAG SRS

The airbag supplementary restraint system (SRS) provides additional

protection for the driver and front seat passenger, in the event of a severe frontal impact on the vehicle.

WARNING

The airbag is a supplementary restraint system that provides ADDITIONAL protection in a frontal impact only - it does NOT replace the need to wear a seat belt. For maximum safety protection in all crash situations, a seat belt must be worn.

Provided the front seat occupants are correctly seated, with seat belts properly worn, the airbags will provide additional protection to the chest and facial areas in the event of the vehicle receiving a severe frontal impact.

NOTE: Inflation and deflation of the airbags takes place very quickly and will not protect against the effects of secondary impacts that may occur.

The airbag(s) are located in the centre pad of the steering wheel and in the fascia panel above the glovebox (see illustration).

Do not allow a front seat passenger to obstruct the operation of the airbag 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 to or on an airbag cover (steering wheel centre pad or fascia panel), which could interfere with the inflation of the airbag or, if the airbag inflates, be propelled inside the car causing injury to the occupants.

WARNING

Page 58

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Airbag SRS

To ensure correct deployment of the airbags, it is essential that obstructions are not allowed to intervene between an airbag and the occupant. The following are examples of the type of obstructions that could either, impede correct operation of the airbags, or jeopardise personal safety in the event of an airbag deployment:

• Accessories attached to or obscuring an airbag cover.

• Items of hand luggage, or other objects placed on an airbag cover.

• Feet, knees or any other part of the anatomy in contact with, or in close proximity to, an airbag cover.

Seating positions

In order to provide optimum protection in the event of a severe frontal impact, it is necessary for the airbags to deploy with considerable speed.

An inflating airbag can cause facial abrasions and other injuries if the occupant is too close to the airbag at the time of its deployment.

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 airbags.

HOW THE AIRBAG SRS WORKS

In the event of a severe frontal impact, the airbag control unit monitors the rate of deceleration 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 vehicle's 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 considerably and will affect the rate of deceleration accordingly.

NOTE: The airbag SRS is not designed to operate as a result of rear collisions, minor frontal or side impacts or roll-over accidents; nor will it operate as a result of heavy braking or driving over bumps and potholes.

It follows, therefore, that significant superficial damage can occur without the airbags deploying or, conversely, that a relatively small amount of structural damage may cause the airbags to be deployed.

NOTE: Airbags will only deploy when they are required to supplement the restraining force of the seat belts.

In the case of a severe frontal collision, both front airbags and seat belt pre-tensioners will be deployed.

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 a front seat occupant, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the head and upper torso.

WARNING

An inflating airbag can cause facial abrasions and other injuries. Minimise the risk of injury by ensuring that front seat occupants are wearing their seat belts and are seated correctly, with the seat as far back as is practical.

position ‘II’ and will extinguish after approximately five seconds.The airbag SRS should always be checked by a dealer if any of the following symptoms occurs:

• The warning light fails to illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to position ‘II’.

• The warning light fails to extinguish within approximately five se conds after the ignition switch is turned to position ‘II’.

• The warning light illuminates after the engine is started, or while the vehicle is being driven.

WARNING

A warning light mounted on the instrument panel will alert you to any malfunction of the airbag SRS.

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 abrasions of the skin. After inflation the airbags deflate immediately. This provides a gradual cushioning effect for the occupant and also ensures that the driver's forward vision is not impaired.

Airbag SRS

SERVICE INFORMATION

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.

After fifteen years from the original date of registration (or the installation date of a replacement airbag SRS), the airbag modules will need to be replaced by a Land Rover Retailer.

In addition, ALWAYS contact your Retailer if:

• an airbag inflates.

• the front of the vehicle is damaged, even if

the airbag has not inflated.

• any part of an airbag module cover (the steering wheel centre pad or fascia panel) shows signs of cracking or damage.

WARNING

The components that make up the airbag SRS are sensitive to electrical or physical interference, either of which could easily damage the system and cause inadvertent operation or a malfunction of the airbag.

For your safety it is recommended that you seek the assistance of a Land Rover Retailer to carry out any of the following:

• Removal or repair of any wiring or component in the vicinity of any of the SRS components, including the steering wheel, steering column, instrument and fascia panels.

• Installation of electronic equipment such as a mobile phone, two-way radio or in-car entertainment system.

• Modification to the front of the vehicle, including the bumper and chassis.

• Attachment of accessories to the front of the vehicle.

IMPORTANT

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.

If your vehicle is to be scrapped; airbags that have not been deployed are potentially very dangerous and must be safely deployed in a controlled environment by qualified personnel, before a vehicle is scrapped.

• Turn the control to the ‘L’ or ‘R’ position to

select either the left or right hand mirror.

• With the ignition switch turned to position

‘II’, push the control in the appropriate direction to tilt the mirror glass up/down/left or right.

• When adjustment is complete, return the

control to the OFF position (midway between ‘L’ and ‘R’).

Heating elements

The exterior mirrors have integral heating elements for dispersing ice and mist, which operate automatically whenever the ignition switch is in position ‘II’.

Heating & Ventilation

VENTILATION

H5213

The ventilation system provides fresh or heated air to the interior of the vehicle from the air intake grille in front of the windscreen.

NOTE: Always keep the air intake grille clear of obstructions such as leaves, snow or ice.

Air outlets are provided to the windscreen, face and feet - the location of the vents is shown in the illustration above. The temperature of the air is controlled by the heater.

Information concerning the operation of the heating and ventilation system, as well as the air conditioning, appears on the pages that follow.

8. Air recirculation button

Press to recirculate air inside the vehicle (indicator light illuminates).

The air recirculation mode prevents the heating system from taking in fresh air from outside the vehicle. Instead, the air already inside the vehicle is recirculated, thus preventing the entry of traffic fumes. In cold weather air recirculation also enables warmer air to be used to defrost the windscreen when the engine is still cold.

WARNING

The air recirculation mode can cause the windscreen to mist. If this happens, switch off air recirculation immediately.

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Heating & Ventilation

USING YOUR HEATER

Fresh air enters the heater unit through the grille in front of the windscreen and stale air is drawn out through vents in the rear of the vehicle. Ducts beneath the front seats provide heating for rear seat passengers - these must not be obstructed.

The following examples of basic heater settings are intended as a general guide; the air distribution, temperature and blower controls can then be further adjusted to suit your comfort requirements.

Always remember that full heating is not available until the engine has reached its normal operating temperature.

Maximum heating

Demisting

H5066

Set the controls as shown, to obtain the maximum flow of heated air from the windscreen and side window vents. Selection of air conditioning will also assist in demisting.

On vehicles NOT equipped with air conditioning, opening a window may improve ventilation.

Defrosting

H5065

Set the controls as shown, with the blower at the slowest speed (position 1) until the temperature gauge indicates that the engine is warming up - the blower speed can then be increased.

H5067

Set the controls as shown and switch on air recirculation to prevent cold air from being drawn into the vehicle. Turn air recirculation off as soon as the windscreen is clear, to prevent any possibility of the windscreen misting.

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Heating & Ventilation

Maximum ventilation

FACE LEVEL VENTS

H5069

Set the controls as shown, with the face level vents open. Adjust the blower speed as required.

2329A

Rotate the thumbwheel down to open or up to close the vents. Direct the air flow by moving the control in the centre of the louvres up or down, or from side to side.

To increase output from the centre face vents, shut the outer vents.

When carrying rear seat passengers, use the outer vents for the front seat occupants and use the more powerful centre vents for the rear seat passengers.

On 3-door models, when driving with either the hard or softback removed (or folded in the case of the softback), open all the vents and turn the blower switch on - this will help prevent the ingress of poisonous exhaust fumes.

NOTE: On both 3 and 5-door models, driving with the taildoor or taildoor window open is not recommended because poisonous exhaust fumes will be drawn into the vehicle. (See ‘Accommodating long loads’, page 44).

Page 93

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Heating & Ventilation

AIR CONDITIONING

The air conditioner provides additional cooling and also reduces humidity. This can be used to demist windows quickly in damp weather and, when used in conjunction with the heater, makes the interior of the vehicle warm and dry.

NOTE: In high humidity conditions, slight screen misting may be experienced when the air conditioning is turned on. This is a natural occurrence for most automotive air conditioning systems; it is not a fault with the system and will clear after a few seconds, once the air conditioning is operating.

Using the air conditioning

The air conditioning can only be used when the engine is running and with the blower switched on. For the air conditioning system to operate efficiently, all windows (and the sunroof/Targa roof) should be closed, and the air intake vents free from ice, snow, leaves and other debris. Operating of the air conditioning with the softback opened, or the hardback removed is not recommended.

With the engine running, press the ‘A/C’ button and adjust the air distribution, blower and air temperature controls as required.

NOTE: The air conditioner will automatically operate when the air distribution control is set to ‘All air to windscreen’ or ‘Air to foot outlets and windscreen’, see ‘4. Air distribution control’, page 86.

Operation of the air conditioning system places an extra load on the engine. In very hot conditions or when the engine is required to work unusually hard (climbing long hills or driving in congested traffic, for example), this could result in high engine temperatures. If the pointer nears the RED zone of the temperature gauge, temporarily turn the air conditioning off until engine temperatures return to normal.

NOTE: Under extreme conditions, the air conditioning may automatically switch off, to prevent damage to the engine.

Rapid cooling:

With the engine running press the ‘A/C’ button, turn the air temperature control to the BLUE segment, select air recirculation and turn the blower switch to ‘4’. Turn the air distribution control to the face vent setting and fully open all four face level vents. Turn off air recirculation and adjust the blower when the vehicle interior is cool.

NOTE: In very hot conditions, it may be advisable to fully ventilate the vehicle by opening the windows and sunroof for a while before closing them again and operating the air conditioning.

Maintaining the air conditioning

The air conditioning system is sealed and major maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified technician. To maintain the system in peak condition, owners should ensure that the system is operated for a short period every week (even during the cold winter months); with the engine at its normal operating temperature, run the air conditioning for at least ten minutes whilst driving at a steady speed.

Surplus water produced by the dehumidifying process is expelled from the system via drain tubes beneath the vehicle. This may result in a small pool of water forming on the road when the vehicle is stationary and is not a cause for concern.
