2022 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Rear Seats
MANUAL SEATS
Take care when retrieving items that have fallen down the side, back, front, or underneath the seat. Sharp objects may be present in these areas, which could present a risk of injury. Always stop the vehicle before retrieving items.
Do not use a rear screen as an aid to enter or exit the vehicle. Damage may occur to the screen tilt mechanism.
- To adjust the seatback angle: Lift and hold the adjustment lever and move the seatback to the desired angle. Release the adjustment lever when the desired angle is reached.
- To move the seat forward or backward: Lift the bar and move the seat to the desired position. Release the bar when the desired position is reached.
FOLDING AND RAISING THE REAR SEATS
Always make sure that objects carried in the vehicle are secured properly. Unsecured items can cause death or serious injury in the event of an impact or sudden maneuver.
Never allow passengers to travel in the loadspace under any circumstances. All vehicle occupants should be seated correctly and must wear a seat belt at all times when the vehicle is in motion. Failure to do so could potentially result in serious injury or death in the event of a collision.
Make sure the locking mechanism is fully engaged when the seatback is raised. An unsecured seatback may not properly support an occupant during a collision or sudden stop.
Make sure the seat belts are correctly routed and not trapped behind the seats when raising the rear seatbacks. An incorrectly routed seat belt may not properly restrain an occupant during a collision or sudden stop.
Make sure the head restraints are raised to the correct position before the seats are used by a passenger. The head restraint must be positioned correctly to restrain rearward movement of the head in a collision.
Before folding or raising a rear seat, make sure the rear seat belts are fully retracted and positioned against their respective D pillars.
- The split-fold rear seat can be folded to accommodate large loads, or partially folded to accommodate large loads and still retain seating for passengers.
- To fold the seatback: Raise the release lever. The seatback folds down against the seat cushion.
- To raise the seatback: Lift the seatback and raise it to the upright position. Make sure the seatback is locked firmly into position.
FOLDING AND RAISING THE THIRD-ROW SEATS
The loadspace cover must not be left in the fitted position when the third-row seats are occupied. Failure to do so could potentially result in personal injury or death in the event of a sudden stop or collision.
Beware of trapping fingers when raising and lowering the third-row seats. Failure to do so creates a risk of entrapment and serious injury.
When raising the rear seats, make sure that the seat belts are correctly routed into the seat belt guides and not trapped behind the seats. An incorrectly routed seat belt may not properly restrain an occupant during a collision or sudden stop.
When folding down a third-row seat, make sure nothing has been left under it or in the footwell. Items left in these areas could cause damage to the item or the seat.
Always make sure that objects carried in the vehicle are secured properly. In the event of an accident, unsecured objects could cause serious injury or death.
Never allow passengers to travel in the loadspace, under any circumstances. In a collision, people riding in this area are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
The head restraint must always be raised when using the third-row seats. The head restraint must be positioned correctly to restrain the rearward movement of the head in a collision.
Make sure that when the head restraint is raised, the locking mechanism is fully engaged. The head restraint must be positioned correctly to restrain the rearward movement of the head in a collision.
The head restraint must always be folded down before folding the seatback. Failure to do so could potentially result in damage to the vehicle.
Before folding or raising the rear seats, make sure any rear-fitted screens are not in the movement path of the folding seat. Damage may occur to the seat or the screen as a result of the two colliding.
The loadspace cover must be removed before folding or raising the third-row seats. The cover can be stored in the load space.
If the rear window isolator button is pressed to inhibit the operation of the rear windows, electric rear seat movement is also inhibited. See ELECTRIC WINDOWS.
The third-row seats can be folded or raised individually. Use the buttons located behind the second-row seats or in the loadspace.
To fold and raise a third-row seat from inside the passenger compartment:
- To fold: Press the button once to fold the head restraint fully downward. Press the button again to fold down the seatback.
- To raise: Press the button to raise the seatback to the upright position.
When the seatback is fully raised, manually return the head restraint to its fully upright position. Make sure the head restraint locks into position.
