Introduction
This handbook covers all versions of the Freelander model and, together with the other books in the literature pack, provides the information you 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 Contents 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.
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 in this handbook, therefore, may not apply to your particular vehicle.
To include changes made after the handbook is printed, it is sometimes necessary to issue one or more handbook supplements. When reading this handbook, check the literature pack for possible supplements.
Any further updates will be posted on the Land Rover internet site and can be accessed at
www.landrover.com in the Owner Information area.
* 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.
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 negligence of the manufacturer or the dealer.
All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form, electronic, mechanical, recording or other means without prior written permission from the Service Division of Land Rover.

Tire Pressures
Air pressure naturally increases in warm tires (after the vehicle has been driven for a while). if you have to check warm tires, you should expect the pressures to have increased between 30 and 40 kPa, (0.28 and 0.41 bar or 4 and 6 PSI). In this circumstance, NEVER let air out of the tires in order to match the recommended pressures.

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, DC 20590.

ANTI-THEFT PRECAUTIONS
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.
NOTE: The label must not be changed, even if different wheels are fitted at a later stage.

General Information
IN AN EMERGENCY
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 warning lamps.
• 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.
ON-BOARD EVENT DATA
Service data recording
Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and storing diagnostic information about your vehicle.
This potentially includes information about the performance or status of various systems and modules in the vehicle such as engine, throttle, steering or brake systems.
Event data recording
Other modules in your vehicle - event data recorders - are capable of collecting and storing data during a crash or near crash event. The recorded information may assist in the investigation of such an event. The modules may record information about both the vehicle and the occupants, potentially including information such as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating.
• Whether or not the driver and passenger seat belts were buckled.
• How far, if at all, the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or the brake pedal.
• How fast the vehicle was travelling.
• Where the driver was positioning the
steering wheel.
To access this information, special equipment must be connected directly to the recording modules. Land Rover do not access event data recorder information without obtaining consent, unless pursuant to court order or where required by law enforcement, other government authorities or third parties acting with lawful authority.
Other parties may seek to access the information independently of Land Rover.
In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Land Rover and service and repair facilities may access vehicle diagnostic information through a direct connection to your vehicle.

General Information
BREAKING-IN
Proper breaking-in will have a direct bearing on the reliability and smooth running of your vehicle throughout its life.
In particular, the engine, gearbox, brakes and tires need time to ‘bed in’ and adjust to the demands of everyday motoring. During the first 600 miles (1000 km) it is essential to drive with consideration for the breaking-in process and heed the following advice:
• Limit your maximum road speed to 70 mph (110 km/h) and engine speed to 3000 rev/min. Drive the vehicle on a light throttle and only increase engine speeds gradually once the breaking-in distance has been completed.
• DO NOT operate at full throttle, or allow the engine to labour in any gear.
• Avoid fast acceleration and heavy braking except in emergencies.
After the breaking-in distance has been completed engine speeds may be increased gradually.

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 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.

Locking
With the remote handset:
1
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.
36
Page 37
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, hood 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.

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.
For safety, NEVER use Superlocking if passengers are to remain inside the vehicle ­in an emergency they would not be able to escape.
WARNING
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 83).

Anti-theft alarm indicator light
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.
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 38).
• Press the unlock button twice to disarm the alarm and unlock ALL the doors.
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.
DOOR LOCKING CUT-OFF SWITCH
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.
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 120).
41
Page 42
Locks & Alarm
WARNING
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.
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.

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 45), 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 155).
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.
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 and windows, and turn the 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.
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.
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.
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 49.
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.
H5157
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.
Fastening the seat belts
3303
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 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 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 59). 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.

Service information
WARNING
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.
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.
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.
WARNING
DO NOT bleach or dye the webbing and avoid contaminating the webbing with polish, oil or chemicals (see ‘Seat belts’, page 219).
Testing inertia reel belts
1. With the seat belt fastened, give the
webbing near the buckle a quick upward pull. The buckle must remain securely locked.
2. 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.
3. 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 Restraints
CHILD RESTRAINTS FOR SMALL CHILDREN AND BABIES
Infants and children too small for adult seat belts should be restrained in a child safety seat or restraint system appropriate to their age and/or size.
Child seats and restraint systems designed for your vehicle will be one of two types:
• Those secured in vehicle seats by the seat belts.
• 'LATCH' type child restraints employing anchor bars built into the rear seat frame.
All new and most older type child restraint systems incorporate a tether strap which can be attached to an anchorage point on the vehicle. Information about tether strap attachment points and the seat belt locking mechanism, which is used to restrain child seats and restraints, is shown later in this section.
CAUTION: When fitting child seats and restraint systems, always ensure that the manufacturer's fitting instructions are followed exactly. Note that crash statistics show that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front.
CHILD RESTRAINTS FOR LARGER CHILDREN
In a situation where a child is too large to fit into a child safety seat, but is still too small to safely fit the 3 point seat belt properly, a booster seat is recommended for maximum safety. Follow the manufacturer’s fitting instructions exactly, then adjust the seat belt to suit.
•
DO NOT allow a baby or infant to be carried on the lap. The force of a crash can increase effective body weight by as much as 30 times, making it impossible to hold on to the child.
•
Children typically require the use of a booster seat appropriate to their age and size, thereby enabling the seat belts to be properly fitted, reducing the risk of injury in a crash.
•
Children could be endangered in a crash if their child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle.
•
DO NOT use a child seat that hooks over the seat back. This type of seat cannot be satisfactorily secured, and is unlikely to be safe for your child.
•
Never leave a child unattended in your vehicle.
WARNING
54
Page 55
Child Restraints
Vehicles fitted with a passenger airbag
Children under 12 years should travel in the rear of the vehicle at all times. Crash statistics show that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front.
However, if it is essential that a child travel in the front, set the seat fully rearward and seat the child in an approved, FORWARD FACING child seat.
The above symbol affixed to the passenger side facia panel of your vehicle, warns against the use of a REAR FACING child seat in the front passenger seat, when a passenger airbag is fitted. This type of child seat could cause serious injury to a child in the event of an airbag deployment.
Take careful note of all labels concerning child restraint usage, attached to your vehicle.
WARNING
EXTREME HAZARD! Under no circumstances should a rearward-facing child seat be installed in any front passenger seat position. Inflation of the airbag could result in serious injury or death to the child.
Seat belt locking mechanism
All front passenger and rear seat belts have a special locking mechanism which aids the securing of child restraints. The mechanism is used to secure a child restraint as follows:
1. Attach the seat belt to the child restraint in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Insert the metal tongue of the seat belt into
the lock ensuring that it engages with a 'click'.
3. Pull on the shoulder section of the belt
until it is fully extended.
4. Allow the belt to retract. A 'clicking' sound
will confirm that the mechanism has engaged.
5. Remove all slack from the mechanism, by
pulling upwards on the shoulder belt, immediately above the child restraint.
6. Evaluate the tightness of the installation by
rocking the child seat back and forth to ensure it is tight and stable.
7. If the child seat needs to be tightened
further, remove the metal tongue of the seat belt from the buckle and feed some of the shoulder belt webbing back into the reel (thereby shortening the belt). Then re-attach the metal tongue into the buckle (if the belt has been tightened correctly, this will take some effort).
8. Re-evaluate the tightness of the
installation. If the child seat is still too loose, repeat the above procedure, making the belt incrementally shorter (and therefore tighter). It may be necessary to put your weight onto the seat (to compress the seat cushion) in order to fasten the belt.
To deactivate the locking mechanism, unlatch the seat belt and allow it to fully retract.

TETHER STRAP ANCHORAGES
Provision is made for the fitting of up to three child seats or restraint systems in the rear seats, of the type that require tether strap anchorage points.
4240
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances should they be used for adult rear seat belts or for harnesses for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.
There are three tether strap anchorage points. These should be used to attach tether straps from child seats or restraint systems. All three anchorage points are fitted to the back of the rear seat (shown in the accompanying illustration).
Attaching tether straps
1. Install the child restraint securely in one of
the rear seating positions.
2. Pass the tether strap over the back of the
vehicle seat and beneath the underside of the head restraint.
3. Attach the clip on the head of the tether
strap to the tether anchor on the back of the vehicle seat.
4. Tighten the tether strap according to the
manufacturer’s inst ructions to remove any slack in the webbing.
WARNING
•
Always follow the child seat or restraint system manufacturer’s instructions when fitting tether straps.
•
When fitting a child seat or restraint system, always pass the tether strap over the top of the seat back and beneath the underside of the head restraint.
•
If a child seat or restraint system is to be fitted to the center seating position, the center armrest must be in the stowed position (folded into the seat).

‘LATCH’ TYPE CHILD RESTRAINTS
4322
‘LATCH’ (Lower Anchors and Tether for Children)
The 'LATCH' three-point type child restraint system complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and is approved for fitting in your vehicle.
Fitting the restraints
This type of child restraint system should only be fitted in the two outer seating positions of the second row seats. Anchor bars built into the rear seat frame enable 'LATCH' type restraints to be securely attached to the vehicle seat in these positions only. The anchor bar locations are shown in the illustration above.
Pass the tether strap over the top of the seat back and beneath the underside of the head restraint. Attach the clip on the head of the tether strap to the appropriate tether anchor and tighten the tether strap.
If the restraint is not correctly anchored, there is a significant risk of injury to the child, in the event of a collision or emergency braking.
DO NOT attempt to fit ‘LATCH’ type restraints to the center seating position - the anchor bars are designed to hold restraints in the outer seating positions only.
When fitting this type of child restraint, always follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer of the restraint.
Once the restraint is installed, test the security of the installation before seating the child. Attempt to twist the restraint from side to side, and to pull the restraint away from the vehicle seat, then check that the anchors are still securely in place.

Airbag SRS
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 facia 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 facia 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
WARNING
58
Page 59
Airbag SRS
WARNING
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.
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.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administartion (NHTSA) recommends a minimum distance of 10 inches (25 cm) between the occupants chest and the drivers airbag module.
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.
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.
WARNING
In the case of a severe frontal collision, both front airbags and seat belt pre-tensioners will be deployed.

H5206
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.
The light illuminates as a bulb and system check when the ignition switch is turned to 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 illuminates after the
When an airbag inflates, a fine powder is released. This is not an indication of a malfunction. The powder may cause irritation to the skin and should be thoroughly flushed from the eyes and any cuts or abrasions on the skin.
After inflation, some airbag components are hot - DO NOT touch until they have cooled.
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.

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.

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 47).
93
Page 94
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/roof panel) 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 91.
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.
