Purpose and function of the knee module

The described driver knee module is a component of the airbag system responsible for protecting the lower body during a frontal collision. It is mounted on the right side of the driver's area, in the knee region, in the immediate vicinity of the steering column and the lower part of the dashboard. Its task is to limit leg displacement and reduce the loads acting on the knees and femurs. As a part dedicated to the Range Rover Evoque L538, the module works with factory crash sensors, the SRS control unit, and other airbags, which allows for maintaining the consistency of the entire passive safety system.

Compatibility and fitment for Range Rover Evoque L538

The knee module has been developed specifically for the interior architecture and dashboard design of the Range Rover Evoque L538. This means:

• factory mounting points matched to the original body brackets,
• inflation zone geometry designed for the specific model,
• proper positioning relative to the driver's seat and steering column. Thanks to this, replacing a damaged module with an original Land Rover component does not require structural modifications, and a correctly installed component restores the factory configuration of the airbag system.

Technical characteristics and installation

The driver knee module is an integrated pyrotechnic assembly that, upon activation, fills the space in front of the driver's knees in a fraction of a second. The positioning on the right side of the vehicle requires maintaining the correct orientation during installation, in accordance with the manufacturer's markings and service documentation. When replacing, it is recommended to:

• disconnect the vehicle's power supply and wait for the recommended time before working on the SRS system,
• follow the service procedures provided for the Range Rover Evoque L538,
• check the correctness of the connections with the airbag system wiring harness. Due to the nature of the safety component, installation should be performed by a qualified service center, using appropriate diagnostic tools to verify the correct operation of the SRS system after the work is completed.

Benefits of using an original Land Rover module

Using an original driver knee module in the Range Rover Evoque L538 allows for maintaining the structural and functional consistency of the entire safety system. You receive:

• reliable fitment for the specific model – compatibility with interior geometry and factory mounting points,
• integration with the existing SRS controller and other airbags,
• the ability to restore the original safety configuration after post-accident repairs. The used component allows for an economical repair while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications, which is particularly important in premium class vehicles such as the Range Rover Evoque.
