Range Rover Evoque: Front airbags
Land Rover Range Rover Evoque L538 (2011–2018) Owner's Manual / Occupant safety / Front airbags
The front passenger and driver airbags are able to deploy in two stages, depending on the severity of the frontal impact. In a severe impact, the airbags inflate fully to stage two giving maximum protection. In a lesser impact, full inflation may not be required, so the airbags will only inflate to stage one. The knee bolster airbag will always fully inflate.

Side airbags
These are designed to protect the thorax region
of the torso and will deploy only in the event of
a side impact and then, only on the side of the
impact.
Curtain airbags
The curtain airbags are deployed in side impact
and rollover events, providing greater
protection from serious head injuries. They
deflate at a slower rate than the front or side
airbags.
Airbag deployment effects
When an airbag inflates, a
fine
powder is released. This is normal
and not an indication of a malfunction.
The powder may cause irritation to the
skin and should be thoroughly flushed
from eye
