activating mechanisms. The webbing sensor activates the locking mechanism if the webbing is subjected to a sharp pull.
The car sensor activates the locking system if the vehicle is subjected to sudden deceleration or severe tilt angle.
All row 1 driver and passenger emergency locking retractor incorporate an electrically activated webbing tension reducer
(comfort device). This device is activated when the vehicle enters ignition mode 6 and insertion of the seatbelt tongue into
the buckle.
All row 2 passengers and NAS front Passenger emergency locking retractors are enhanced with automatic locking retractors.
The automatic locking retractor allows webbing to be extracted to activate a ratchet device. This device allows webbing to
be cinched tight to facilitate child seat fitment. W ith seatbelt webbing tensioned in automatic locking retractor mode the
seatbelt is always locked.
A safety belt warning indicator is installed in the instrument cluster to remind the front seat occupants to fasten their
safety belts. On North American Specification (NAS) vehicles, when the ignition mode is accessory/convenience, the
warning indicator illuminates if the safety belt of an occupied front seat is not fastened. The warning indicator remains
illuminated until the safety belt of each occupied front seat is fastened, or the ignition mode is off. In all markets except
NAS, a belt minder function provides a more intrusive reminder to fasten the front safety belts.
Belt Minder Function
The belt minder function provides warnings to the driver if the appropriate front safety belts are not fastened when driving.
The belt minder function is controlled by the instrument cluster using:
High speed CAN (controller area network) bus messages, from the RCM (restraints control module) , to monitor the
status of the front safety belts.
An input from the occupant detection system to monitor the status of the front passenger seat.
When the ignition is switched to on, the instrument cluster illuminates the safety belt warning indicator until one of the
front safety belts is fastened or the belt minder function is triggered. The belt minder function is triggered when the
ignition switch is in accessory/convenience and the following conditions coexist:
The belt minder function is enabled
The vehicle is not in reverse
Vehicle speed is 8 km/h (5 mph) or more
The driver safety belt or, if the front passenger seat is occupied, the front passenger safety belt, is unfastened.
When the belt minder is triggered, the instrument cluster generates the following warnings for 10 seconds.
Flashes the safety belt warning indicator at 2 Hz
Sounds a repeating chime in sequence with the flashing safety belt warning indicator.
After 10 seconds, the repeating chime is discontinued and the safety belt warning indicator changes from flashing to
continuously illuminated for 20 seconds. W hile the trigger conditions still coexist, the warnings are repeated every 30
seconds until one of the following occurs:
5 minutes has elapsed from when the warnings were first triggered
The safety belt of each occupied front seat is fastened
The ignition mode is position 0
The vehicle speed decreases to 5 km/h (3 mph).
For non NAS vehicles the belt minder function can be enabled and disabled using the driver safety belt switch. The
instrument cluster changes the state of the belt minder function if, within 60 seconds of first entering ignition mode II, the
driver safety belt is fastened and unfastened nine times. Successful completion of the change is indicated by a single
chime and the safety belt warning indicator flashing five times, at 2 Hz. The belt minder function can also be enabled and
disabled using the reccomeneded Land Rover diagnostic tool.
