Quick Overview

Occupancy Sensing

The front passenger seat is equipped with a sensor that determines if the seat is occupied by measuring the weight on the cushion. This information is used to change the passenger airbag deployment status.

An indicator light is located on the passenger fascia. This illuminates when the passenger airbag is deactivated.

The occupancy sensor operates as follows:

Seat occupancy status

Completely empty

Low weight occupant/ object

Heavy occupant/ object

Passenger airbag status

Deactivated No*

Deactivated Yes

Activated No

Indicator light active

*It is possible to receive an intermittent indicator light with an empty seat condition. This is part of the system’s adaptive behaviour, and does not affect the status of the passenger airbag. However, if the indicator light becomes permanently illuminated when the seat is definitely empty, then contact your nearest Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer immediately.

Filling Station Information

Fuel Type

Petrol models - Unleaded 95 RON.

Diesel models - Diesel fuel to EN 590 or

equivalent.

Caution: DIESEL ENGINES - If you inadvertently fill your vehicle with petrol instead of diesel, do not attempt to start the engine. Contact your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer immediately.

Attempting to start the engine with petrol in the fuel tank will cause extensive damage to the engine and fuel system, which will not be covered by your Jaguar warranty.

Jaguar can accept no responsibility for any damage caused by running your vehicle with petrol in the fuel tank.

Diesel engines only: Drivers should

expect above normal fuel consumption when the engine is new and ‘bedding in’. After a period of time, the fuel consumption will gradually improve to expected levels.

Caution: Do not use RME (bio-diesel) except in the case of proprietary diesel fuels which contain a mix of up to 5%.

Fuel Filling

Pull the fuel filler flap release. This is located on the floor, outboard of the driver’s seat, see page 126.

The filler flap is located on the right-hand side of the vehicle.

Note: Vehicles with a diesel engine have a yellow filler cap.

For quickness and to completely fill the tank, ensure that the fuel nozzle rests on the bottom of the filler neck.

After refuelling, refit the filler cap in the filler neck and twist the cap clockwise until it clicks three times. Close the flap, which automatically locks shut.

Filling Station Information

Bonnet Release

Pull the release lever located below the fascia on the left-hand side of the vehicle, see page 167.

General Information

Owner Information

Overview

Whether you are new to the Jaguar marque or have previously owned Jaguar vehicles, we are pleased that you have made Jaguar your choice of vehicle this time.

For your safety and pleasure, please take the time to get well acquainted with your new vehicle by reading the handbooks.

Details of the vehicle warranty are contained within the ‘Warranty Benefits’ book.

When left-hand or right-hand is used in the text, this refers to the left-hand side or right-hand side of the vehicle, viewed from the rear.

This Handbook describes every option and model variant available and therefore some of the items covered may not apply to your particular vehicle.

Jaguar Dealers/Authorised Repairers

Jaguar Dealers/Authorised Repairers are chosen with care. Each is dedicated to providing a Sales, Service and Spare Parts facility of the highest standard.

Jaguar Dealers/Authorised Repairers are provided with full technical support from the factory, with comprehensive training for all their technicians. Dealers’ workshops operate to a high standard and have all the necessary tools and equipment essential to maintain or repair Jaguar vehicles.

Genuine Jaguar parts and accessories

Your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer can supply you with genuine replacement parts and accessories which are fully approved to Jaguar’s original equipment specification. This will ensure that the safety and performance of your vehicle is maintained for your complete peace of mind.

Please note that fitment of non-genuine parts may invalidate the vehicle warranty if a subsequent fault occurs due to fitting sub-standard replacement parts or accessories.

Jaguar parts distribution service

Jaguar Dealers/Authorised Repairers stock a large number of parts to keep your vehicle maintained and get you back on the road as quickly as possible.

General Information

Floor Mat Retention

Ensure that the driver’s floor mat is correctly positioned and secured under the tongues on the retention posts (A, only one post shown), so that the mat does not interfere with the operation of the accelerator, clutch or brake pedals.

In particular, check the position of the mat when refitting after cleaning or servicing.

Mobile/Portable Telephones

WARNING:

• Using a mobile/portable telephone without an exterior antenna is not recommended when driving as the electro-magnetic fields produced can cause malfunctions with the vehicle electronic systems.

• Using any hand-held appliance while driving can be dangerous and is illegal in certain countries.

• Always stop the vehicle before making a call and ensure that the telephone is switched off while you are driving.

Window Tinting

WARNING:

For Saloon models, do not have your vehicle windows tinted with a metal oxide tinting (for maximum heat reduction from sun load) if you have a navigation system fitted to your vehicle.

Metal oxide tinting prevents the reception of the Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) signals by the antenna, causing the navigation system to stop functioning. This does not affect Estate models, as the antenna is located beneath the rear spoiler.

A non-metal tinting should be used if you require window tinting and if in doubt, contact your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice.

Protect the Environment

We must all play our part in protecting the environment. Correct vehicle usage and disposal of waste cleaning and lubrication materials are significant steps towards this aim.

Avoid using high engine speeds. You will then protect your engine, reduce fuel consumption, lower the engine noise level and help towards reducing the environmental burden.

Dispose of batteries, tyres, engine, brake and coolant fluids at your local authorised waste disposal facilities.

General Information

Leather Care Guide

Leather is a natural product, therefore, it bears natural characteristics, such as grain variations, growth and brush marks. These non-weakening marks show the true nature of the hide and are the hallmarks of a leather product. Leather is an easy to maintain natural product, however, dust and substances can penetrate the pores and crease the leather, causing surface wear and brittleness.

To prevent ingrained dirt and staining, inspect the seat upholstery regularly and clean every one to two months as follows:

• Wipe off fine dust from the seat

surfaces at regular intervals using a clean, damp, non-coloured cloth. Change frequently to a clean area of cloth to avoid abrasive action on the leather surface. Avoid over-wetting.

• If this is not sufficient, use a cloth

which has been dampened with warm soapy water and then wrung out. Never allow the leather to be soaked through. Use only mild non-caustic soap.

• Use Jaguar Leather Cleaner for

heavily soiled areas. Dry off and rub with a clean soft cloth, changing surfaces regularly.

When staining (e.g., from clothing) or spillage occurs, clean the affected area immediately as described above.

It is recommended that Jaguar Leather Cleaner is used several times a year to maintain its appearance and suppleness. The Jaguar Leather Cleaner will nourish and moisturise the leather and help to improve and renew the surface protective film against dust and substances.

• Do not use solvents such as petrol (gasoline), white spirit or alcohol. Do not use detergents, furniture polish or household cleaners. Such strong treatments may give, initially, an impressive appearance, but their use will lead to rapid damage or deterioration of the natural properties of the leather. Jaguar recommends a basic set of products that have been specially selected for the type of leather in your vehicle. The Manufacturer’s Warranty will be invalidated if treatments are used other than those recommended by Jaguar Cars Limited.

• Dark clothing may stain leather seats just like other upholstery products.

• Sharp objects such as belts, zip fasteners, rivets, etc. can leave permanent scratches and scratch marks on the leather surface.

• Unless spillages such as tea, coffee or ink are washed away immediately, permanent staining may have to be accepted.

If a valet service is used, ensure that the specialist concerned is aware of these instructions, and follows each instruction precisely.

For any further questions please consult your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer for specialist advice.

General Information

Warnings, Cautions and Notes

Take particular note of WARNINGS, Cautions and Notes given throughout this handbook.

WARNING:

A warning is a procedure which must be followed precisely to help avoid the risk of personal injury.

Caution: A caution is a procedure which must be followed precisely to reduce the possibility of damage to the vehicle and resultant risk of personal injury or inconvenience.

Note: A note is a procedure which will help avoid difficulties in the operation of the vehicle.

Warning symbols

On encountering the warning triangle or open book symbol on the vehicle, it is important that before touching this part of the vehicle or attempting adjustments of any kind you consult the relevant section of this handbook.

Caution: Do not remove any warning labels from the underbonnet area or inside the vehicle.

Vehicle handbooks

Remember to pass on the vehicle handbooks when reselling the vehicle. Handbooks are integral parts of the vehicle.

Regular Servicing

Maintenance

Each vehicle is given a full ‘Pre-Delivery Inspection’ to ensure that all systems function correctly and that the vehicle meets its specification.

Owners are responsible for the regular maintenance and servicing of the vehicle. Jaguar Dealers/Authorised Repairers will be pleased to arrange periodic servicing and can provide you with details of tasks carried out at each service interval.

Failure to implement maintenance at the recommended intervals could result in deterioration of vehicle performance and possible infringement of regulations.

Regular routine maintenance not only helps to prevent unnecessary ‘breakdowns’ and inconvenience, but enhances the ‘trade in’ or resale value of the vehicle.

Jaguar diagnostic system

Many of the vehicle systems are controlled by complex electronic devices. Specialist equipment is required to trace and rectify faults in the systems and ensure that only faulty components are repaired or renewed.

General Information

Caution: Severe damage to the electrical system and electronic components can occur if any attempt is made to diagnose faults in the electrical system using conventional diagnostic equipment (for example, the use of test lamps or low impedance voltmeters). The fitting of any electrical accessory should only be entrusted to a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

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.

In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Jaguar Cars Limited and service and repair facilities may access vehicle diagnostic information through a direct connection to your vehicle when diagnosing or servicing your vehicle.

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 directly connected to the recording modules. Jaguar Cars Limited 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 Jaguar Cars Limited.

General Information

Running-in

Apart from a few precautionary recommendations, there are no strict ‘running-in’ procedures for this vehicle.

By observing the following advisory notes you will ensure maximum engine, transmission and brake life for your vehicle:

• Allow the engine to warm up thoroughly before operating at engine speeds over 3500 rev/min.

• Vary the speed frequently.

• From 1500 kilometres (940 miles)

onwards, gradually increase performance of the vehicle up to the permitted maximum speed.

Running-in for brakes

To ensure that the brake pads can ‘bed-in’ evenly and reach their optimum wear and performance condition, usually within 480 kilometres (300 miles), the following points are recommended.

• Where possible, avoid heavy braking or rough usage of the brakes as this can result in damage being caused to the brake pads and discs.

• Avoid prolonged use of the brakes, for example, when descending severe gradients.

• Frequent light application of the brakes is desirable. This helps to fully ‘bed-in’ the brake pads before the normal running-in period is completed and the vehicle is operated at high speeds, when maximum brake efficiency will be required.

The above equally applies when new discs or pads have been fitted.

Running-in for automatic transmission

To allow the automatic transmission to uniquely adapt to the vehicle, the transmission should be operated in normal mode (i.e. sport mode switch not illuminated, see page 115) for the first 800 kilometres (500 miles).

Vehicle Security

Security Overview

When leaving the vehicle unoccupied, remember the following:

• Apply the handbrake and with automatic transmission, move the gear selector to Park ‘P’.

• Do not leave children or pets in the vehicle unattended.

• Do not leave luggage or valuables on view. Always take your valuables with you or lock them in the luggage compartment.

• Remove the ignition key and spare keys, even when the vehicle is in your garage.

• Close all windows and lock all doors securely.

• Park the vehicle where it can be seen. At night, park in a well-lit area.

• When leaving the vehicle unattended, for maximum security ensure that the doors are double-locked.

Ensure that all key transmitters are removed from the vehicle before locking the doors, and that all doors, the luggage compartment and the bonnet are closed.

It is important to keep your keys in safe places at all times. Leaving them in conspicuous places is an invitation for a thief to steal them and, consequently, your vehicle or belongings. Keep them as secure as you would your wallet or purse, both at home and away.

Immobiliser Security Light

This vehicle is equipped with an immobilisation system.

An electronic device is fitted in the head of each key which is programmed to the vehicle electronics. When the key is placed in the ignition switch the vehicle electronics recognise the correct key and allow engine start. The engine cannot be started with a key not programmed to the vehicle electronic systems.

If an ignition key is placed in the ignition switch and turned to position ‘II’ and the alarm security light on the centre console remains flashing after three seconds, it is possible that the engine will not start. In any event, please contact a Jaguar Dealer/ Authorised Repairer to investigate the cause of the light flashing.

Keys

This vehicle is supplied with a key integrated with the remote transmitter. This key operates all the locks on your vehicle. Vehicles are supplied with two integrated keys.

The key number is recorded on a plastic tag which is attached to each key. Detach the tag and keep safely, not in the vehicle.

Vehicle Security

Care of transmitters

The transmitters must be treated with care and not exposed to extremes of heat, dust, humidity or be in contact with fluids. Do not leave the transmitter exposed to direct sunlight.

The battery is the only serviceable part.

Transmitter Battery Renewal

When the battery needs renewal there will be a significant decrease in the effective range of the key transmitter. To renew the battery, follow the procedure below:

• Insert a small, flat-blade, screwdriver at an angle of about 45 degrees, into the slot on the back of the key transmitter as shown (1). Apply light pressure to the screwdriver and lever the screwdriver forward to separate the two halves of the key transmitter. Pull the transmitter from the key body.

• Insert the screwdriver into the slot between the transmitter covers adjacent to the key stowage area as shown (2). Apply light pressure to the screwdriver and lever the screwdriver downward to separate the covers.

• Unscrew and remove the small screw (3) and remove the printed circuit board, taking care not to touch the battery terminals. Remove the battery and dispose of it safely.

• Fit a new battery cell, type CR2032 (available from your Jaguar Dealer/ Authorised Repairer), with the side marked with the positive symbol (+) downwards in the battery receptacle. Avoid touching the new battery as moisture/oil from the fingers can reduce the life of the battery and corrode the contacts.

• Replace the printed circuit board making sure to engage the board under the securing tabs (4), and secure with the screw.

• Refit the cover and click into place with thumb pressure.

• Slide the transmitter back onto the key body until it clicks into place.

Door Locks

Operation

All doors can be locked and unlocked either remotely using the key transmitter buttons, or by using the integrated key.

Smart Locking

This feature helps prevent locking the key in the vehicle. If one of the front doors is open and an attempt is made to lock the doors using a door interior locking lever, all doors will become unlocked.

If the bonnet, luggage compartment or a door is open, the vehicle can only be locked from the outside by using a key in the driver’s door lock.

It will not be possible to lock the vehicle with a key transmitter if the luggage compartment, bonnet or a door is open.

Vehicle Locking and Unlocking

The direction indicators will flash once, the security light on the centre console will start flashing and, after 20 seconds, the alarm will be set.

Note:

•

This will not arm the alarm system’s intrusion sensors (where fitted). The intrusion sensors are only armed if the vehicle is double-locked, see page 36.

•

Do not double-lock the vehicle If people or pets are to be left inside: their movement will trigger the alarm. If the vehicle is single-locked, the main alarm features will still function, but the intrusion sensors will be disarmed.

WARNING:

Do not leave people or pets in the vehicle on warm, sunny days: the interior temperature can rise rapidly to dangerous levels.

If a door, the bonnet or the luggage compartment are open and an attempt is made to lock the vehicle, the direction indicators will flash five times and the horn will chirp twice as a warning that the vehicle is not secure.

Note: Ensure that the manually operated rear windows are fully closed by hand (if fitted).

To lock the vehicle and set alarm

• Press the lock button on the key transmitter, or;

• Put the key in the driver’s door lock, turn the key towards the rear of the vehicle and release.

Door Locks

To unlock the vehicle and disarm the alarm system using a key:

• Put the key in the driver’s door lock, turn the key towards the front of the vehicle and release.

Single-stage unlocking - This unlocks all doors and the luggage compartment and turns on the interior lights.

Two-stage unlocking - This only unlocks the driver’s door (and the Saloon luggage compartment) and turns on the interior lights. A second turn of the key is required to unlock all doors (and the Estate tailgate).

European and United Kingdom countries only: If the vehicle is unlocked

with a key, a chime will sound when the driver’s door is opened. This is a warning to indicate that the vehicle alarm will activate after 15 seconds unless the security system is disarmed by either pressing the unlock button on the key transmitter or by placing the key into the ignition switch and turning the key to position ‘I’.

Note:

•

If a passenger door is opened during this period, before the vehicle is disarmed, the alarm will sound.

•

The security system is not disarmed when unlocking with the key as additional protection against vehicle theft.

For all other countries: Unlocking the vehicle disarms the alarm system.

To unlock the vehicle and disarm the alarm system using a key transmitter:

• Press the unlock button on the key transmitter.

Single-stage unlocking - This unlocks all doors and the luggage compartment and turns on the interior lights.

Two-stage unlocking - This only unlocks the driver’s door (and the Saloon luggage compartment) and turns on the interior lights. A second press of the button is required to unlock all doors (and the Estate tailgate).

Direction indicator unlock alerts

The exterior direction indicators give two flashes as unlocking takes place.

Note: The exterior direction indicators will flash five times if a fault exists with the intrusion sensing or inclination sensing systems.

Selecting single-stage or two-stage unlocking

The procedure for changing from single-stage to two-stage unlocking, or vice versa, is as follows:

• Press and hold the lock and unlock buttons on the key transmitter simultaneously for four seconds.

Note: The direction indicators will flash twice to confirm the procedure was successful.

After setting the child lock the door(s) can only be opened using the exterior door handle.

To remove the child lock feature, open the door and using a key, move the control to its original unlock position.

Double-locking (Where fitted)

WARNING:

When the vehicle is double-locked the doors cannot be opened, either from inside or outside the vehicle, except with the correct key or key transmitter. Breaking a window will not allow a thief access by opening a door. Therefore, double-locking should not be used when persons are inside the vehicle as they will not be able to vacate, or be released from the vehicle if an emergency arises.

Note: It will not be possible to double-lock the vehicle if any door is open.

With all doors closed, press the lock button on the key transmitter twice within three seconds to double-lock the vehicle and set the alarm. Alternatively, place the key in the driver’s door lock, turn the key towards the front of the vehicle and then towards the rear within three seconds.

The exterior direction indicators will flash, once as locking takes place and a longer, second flash as double-locking takes place.

Door Locks

Auto-relocking

Note: This feature is normally disabled. A Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer can enable this feature, if required.

This feature automatically centrally locks and arms the vehicle if the vehicle has been unlocked with the key transmitter:

• and no door has been opened for 45 seconds or,

• if the ignition remains off for 45 seconds.

Drive-away door locking

With the ignition key at position ‘II’ and all doors closed, all doors will lock when the vehicle is moving above 8 km/h (5 mph). If the vehicle is stopped and a door is opened, provided the engine remains running, the car will relock when the door is closed and the vehicle is moving. If the car is unlocked this feature will only lock the doors again if the ignition is turned off and then back on.

All vehicles have the drive-away door locking feature installed during manufacture. this feature can be disabled, or reinstated, by a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer if required.

Luggage Compartment Locks

Luggage Compartment

Estate

Open the tailgate by pressing the release button (2) under the tailgate trim.

The tailgate can also be opened by pressing the luggage compartment button (1) on the key transmitter.

The luggage compartment will be illuminated when the tailgate is opened.

Opening the tailgate glass

If the vehicle alarm system is armed and the luggage compartment is opened using the key transmitter the alarm will not sound. The system will be rearmed when the lid is closed, provided the vehicle has not been disarmed.

Saloon

To open the luggage compartment:

• Press the luggage compartment button (1) on the key transmitter or,

• With the vehicle unlocked, press the release button (2) on the luggage compartment lid.

The luggage compartment will be illuminated when the lid is opened.

WARNING:

Do not drive with the tailgate glass open as exhaust fumes can be drawn into the passenger compartment.

The tailgate glass can be opened separately from the complete tailgate. Press the release button (3), located on the reverse of the tailgate glass handle, and lift the tailgate glass.

Note: If required, the key transmitter can be reprogrammed so that button (1) will open the Estate tailgate glass, instead of the tailgate. Contact your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer to have this feature enabled.

Alarm Systems

Audible Signals

Note: In certain countries, legislation prohibits the use of audible confirmation signals. In such cases, the sound source has been removed from the system.

Two horn chirps will sound if an attempt is made to lock the vehicle with the key transmitter if a door, the bonnet or the luggage compartment is not fully closed.

European/United Kingdom countries only

If the vehicle is unlocked with a key when it is armed, a chime will sound when the driver’s door is opened. This is a warning to indicate that the vehicle alarm will activate after 15 seconds unless the security system is disarmed with either the key transmitter or by turning the ignition key to position ‘I’.

If the vehicle is unlocked with a key when it is armed and any door other than the driver’s door is opened, the alarm will sound immediately.

Error Signal

The direction indicators will flash five times whenever one of the following conditions is present:

• Any door is open when an attempt is

made to lock the vehicle.

• The luggage compartment or the

bonnet is not properly closed when an attempt is made to lock the vehicle.

• If there is an electrical failure within

the intrusion sensing or inclination sensing systems and an attempt to ‘disarm’ the security system is made.

Full Alarm

Once armed, any of the following circumstances will create a full alarm state, sound the horns and flash the direction indicators:

• Opening a door, luggage compartment lid or tailgate (except with transmitter) or bonnet.

• Movement in the passenger area (if intrusion sensors are fitted).

• Using a key in the ignition switch which is not programmed to the vehicle.

• If, after 15 seconds from opening the driver’s door with a key (European countries and United Kingdom only), the key is not inserted into the ignition switch.

• If the inclination sensor (if fitted) is activated.

• Any attempt is made to remove the radio.

Security Features

The security system has been designed for:

• Prevention of theft of the vehicle.

• Prevention of theft of items from the

vehicle.

• Personal security.

The security system is integrated with the vehicle electronics and engine management systems making it far more difficult for a thief to penetrate and steal the vehicle.

Alarm Systems

Intrusion sensing (Where fitted)

A further enhancement to the security system is the addition of intrusion sensing. When the vehicle is armed and double-locked, movement within the vehicle interior will activate the alarm. The luggage compartment can be unlocked, using the key transmitter button, without sounding the alarm. When the security system is disarmed the intrusion sensors are also disarmed.

Note: Ensure that manually operated rear windows are closed before double-locking the vehicle. This will prevent intrusion sensing falsely sounding the alarm.

Inclination (tilt) sensing protection (Where fitted)

This feature protects against unauthorised towing away or jacking up. When the vehicle is double-locked and armed, any tilting of the vehicle, such as jacking or lifting, will activate the alarm.

Note: If the vehicle is being transported by road, rail or sea, the vehicle should not be double-locked. This prevents the inclination system from being armed and sounding the alarm as the vehicle pitches and rolls.

When the security system is disarmed the inclination sensor is also disarmed.

Battery reconnection

If the battery has been disconnected and is subsequently reconnected, the alarm system will resume the same state as before the battery was disconnected.

If the alarm was sounding when the battery was disconnected it will sound again when the battery is reconnected and will need:

• The transmitter unlock button to be pressed or,

• Key placed in the ignition switch and turned to position ‘I’ to disarm it.

Panic alarm

When in or near the vehicle, the alarm can be set off to deter a possible offender. For this feature to operate, the key must not be in the ignition switch.

Pressing the headlight convenience/panic button on the key transmitter three times within three seconds will activate the ‘Panic Alarm’.

The alarm is stopped by:

• Putting the key into the ignition switch and turning to position ‘II’ or,

• Pressing either the transmitter panic button three times or one press of the unlock button.

Battery backed sounder

In certain countries a separate, self-contained, battery backed sounder is fitted. This device will sound the full alarm if the vehicle alarm is activated or if the vehicle battery or the sounder is disconnected when the security system is armed.

Occupant Protection

Before Driving

Seat Belts

The use of front and rear seat belts is mandatory in most countries. Using seat belts saves lives. They should be worn by all occupants whenever the vehicle is in use, for maximum protection.

This vehicle has an individual lap/ shoulder inertia reel seat belt for each occupant.

The inertia operating mechanism of the seat belts allows the wearers to move their upper bodies to reach various controls. The seat belts will lock automatically with accelerated body movement or in the event of emergency braking. Both front seat belts are equipped with pretensioners to assist restraint and safety belt force limiters to help minimise the risk of upper body injuries.

Seat belt height adjustment is provided for driver and front seat passenger to ensure that the seat belt webbing can be positioned to pass over the shoulder without pulling against the neck. It can be locked in any of five positions.

Seat Belt Fitting

WARNING:

Do not adjust the seat belt while driving.

Draw the tongue of the seat belt over the shoulder, across the chest and push it into the buckle unit slot. A positive ‘click’ indicates that it is safely locked.

The use of comfort clips or devices that would create slackness in the seat belt system are not recommended.

Always ensure that the webbing is midway between the neck and the edge of the shoulder. Correct tension is controlled by automatic retraction of the reel.

Occupant Protection

A warning light on the instrument panel comes on when the driver’s seat belt is not fastened. (In some countries a warning signal sounds for six seconds.)

Note: If the vehicle is parked on unlevel ground, the seat belt mechanism may lock. This is not a fault: allow the seat belt to retract a small amount before gently easing it from its attachment.

Pregnant women

WARNING:

Pregnant women must wear a correctly positioned seat belt; it is safer for mother and unborn child.

There are many ways that the seat belt can be misused for the sake of comfort. However, there is only one way of wearing it safely.

The lap strap should be fitted comfortably across the hips, low beneath the pregnant abdomen. The diagonal part of the seat belt should be placed between the breasts, and worn above and to the side of the pregnant abdomen.

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.

Always wear seat belts without slack or twists, since slack in a seat belt drastically reduces the effectiveness of the belt and the level of protection it can provide. For optimum protection, the seat belts should fit tightly around the body. Do not recline the front seats excessively, as the belts provide maximum protection when the seats are in the near upright position.

WARNING:

Never wear just the lap strap of a lap/shoulder diagonal seat belt and never sit on the lap strap using just the shoulder strap. Both of these actions are extremely dangerous and may increase your risk of serious injury.

Occupant Protection

Front belt height adjustment

To operate: Press the locking button and

slide the anchorage point to the required position to ensure comfort and safety. Release the button and check that the anchorage point is locked.

Always check the anchorage point after the seat has been adjusted to ensure that the belt is correctly positioned.

Inertia reel mechanism check

With the seat belt fastened, give the belt near the buckle a quick upward pull. The buckle must remain securely locked.

With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the belt to the limit of its travel. Check that the unreeling is free from snatches and snags and then allow the belt to FULLY retract.

Partially unreel the belt, then hold the buckle and give it a quick forward pull. The mechanism must lock and prevent any futher unreeling. If a seat belt should fail any of these tests, contact your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer immediately.

WARNING:

• Seat belts are designed to bear

upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable: wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.

• Seat belts should be adjusted as

firmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer.

• Care should be taken to avoid

contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water. The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.

• It is essential to replace the entire

assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact even if damage to the assembly is not obvious.

Occupant Protection

• No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.

• Belts should not be worn with straps twisted.

• Each seat belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant’s lap.

• Should the seat belt not retract and remain at its static length, consult your nearest Jaguar Dealer/ Authorised Repairer immediately.

• If the seat belt requires replacement because of contamination or having been worn in a severe impact, then it should be renewed by a Jaguar Dealer/ Authorised Repairer only.

Occupant Restraints

In order to provide optimum protection this vehicle is equipped with front and side airbags for driver and front seat passenger. These are supplemental restraint systems which are used in conjunction with the seat belts to help protect the driver and front seat passenger from upper body and head injuries.

Curtain airbags are fitted to the sides of the vehicle for front and rear occupants head protection in the event of a side impact.

To provide maximum protection, airbags open with a great deal of force and this force can pose a potentially dangerous risk in some situations, particularly when a front seat occupant is not properly restrained with the seat belt.

Occupant Protection

Because airbags must inflate rapidly and with considerable force, there is the risk of death or serious injuries such as fractures, facial and eye injuries or internal injuries, particularly to occupants who are not properly restrained or sitting correctly at the time of the airbag deployment.

Airbags do not inflate slowly or gently and the risk of injury from a deploying airbag is greatest close to the trim covering the airbag.

The whole sequence of events from sensing the impact to full inflation of the bag takes place in a fraction of a second.

The driver’s airbag is located in the centre of the steering wheel and the front seat passenger’s airbag is located in the fascia panel immediately in front of the passenger seat.

The side airbags are fitted within the driver’s and front passenger’s seat outboard seat bolsters, and are identified by a label on the seat.

Curtain airbags are fitted above the doors, under the headlining. These deploy downwards to give protection to the heads of driver, front seat passenger and the outer rear seat occupants.

The driver’s knee airbag is fitted to all four-wheel drive models. It is located in the panel below the steering column and will normally deploy at the same time as the driver’s airbag.

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster will be lit for approximately six seconds when the ignition is turned on. If the light remains on or flashes it indicates a fault within the airbag electrical circuits. Report the fault to a Jaguar Dealer/ Authorised Repairer immediately.

It is safe to drive the vehicle; however, in an accident the airbags may not operate.

WARNING:

• No objects whatsoever should be attached to the centre cover of the steering wheel, the passenger fascia panel or the sides of the driver and front passenger seats. Do not put anything on or over the airbag inflation area. Placing objects on or over the airbag inflation area may cause those objects to be propelled by the airbag into your face and torso causing serious injury.

• Safety experts recommend a minimum distance of at least 254 mm (10 inches) between an occupant’s chest and a front airbag.

• Children 12 years old and younger can be killed or seriously injured by the airbag. The rear seat is the safest place for children.

• Do not try to put an adult seat belt around two children.

• Several airbag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after they have deployed.

Occupant Protection

• Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.

• DO NOT install a rearward-facing child seat in the front passenger seat position. This is emphasised by the label displayed on the end of the fascia on the front passenger side, as shown on the illustration. If however, you must sit a child in the front passenger seat use only a forward-facing child seat with the passenger seat set fully rearward. Always follow the fitting instructions supplied with the appropriate child restraint system.

• Do not attach any objects whatsoever to the driver’s knee airbag panel; it could cause injury in the event of a collision. Consult your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer before installing any accessories in the driver’s fascia area (e.g. HANDS-FREE TELEPHONE KITS).

• To ensure that the side airbags are fully effective: DO NOT sit too close to, or lean against the door trim. The side airbag could injure you as it deploys from the side of the seat. DO NOT lean out of the window aperture. Only use JAGUAR APPROVED accessories (e.g. seat covers). Due to the function of the CURTAIN AIRBAG deployment, CONSULT your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer prior to installing any ACCESSORIES in the upper environment/pillar trim area (e.g. HANDS-FREE TELEPHONE KITS).

• If an airbag is inflated, the airbag will not function again and must be renewed immediately. If a new airbag is not fitted, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision.

Airbag warning information is printed on the driver’s and passenger’s sunvisor. Airbag indicator light information is shown on page 50.

Occupant Protection

Seat positioning

Wrong: Unbelted and too close. Use Seat Belts.

Move Seat Rearwards. Recline Back of Seat.

Tilt Wheel Down/Forwards. Correct: Belted and 254 mm

(10 inches) or more away.

Occupant Protection

WARNING:

Driver and front seat passenger should always move their seats as far rearwards as is practical.

Ideally, drivers should sit with at least 254 mm (10 inches) between the centre of their breastbone and the cover of the steering wheel airbag.

Since the risk zone at the time of deployment is the first 54 mm - 75 mm (2 to 3 inches) from the airbag cover, sitting back 254 mm (10 inches) provides a clear margin of safety. Very few drivers are unable to achieve and maintain that safety gap.

The vast majority of drivers who do not now sit that far back can change their position and achieve that distance.

• Move your seat back as far as you can while still comfortably reaching the pedals.

• Recline the back of your seat a few degrees from the upright position. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise the seat.

• Tilt the steering wheel/column downwards so as to point the airbag at your chest instead of your head and neck. Adjust the steering wheel/ column fore/aft so that it extends towards the driver as little as possible, ensuring that the airbag has plenty of room to deploy.

WARNING:

Do not attempt to service, repair or modify the airbag system or its fuses. All work on the airbag system, including renewal after deployment and renewal at the end of its service life, must be carried out by an authorised Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

In the event of the vehicle being dismantled, airbag module removal and disposal MUST be made by a qualified person.

After airbag deployment, it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powdery residue or smell the burnt propellant. This may consist of cornstarch, talcum powder or sodium compounds that result from the combustion process that inflates the airbag.

Small amounts of other chemicals may be present which may irritate the skin and eyes, but none of the residue is toxic.

While the system is designed to help reduce serious injuries, it may also cause minor burns, abrasions, swelling or temporary hearing loss.

4. Seat mounted side airbag (left-hand

and right-hand front seats).

5. Front passenger airbag.

Front airbags

With a front impact of sufficient force, the restraints system will trigger the front airbag(s) and seat belt pretensioners.

Both front airbags (2 and 5, above) use dual inflation technology which means that if activated, the bag(s) will deploy at either a normal or reduced level of inflation, depending on crash severity. The lower level is also selected if the driver is close to the steering wheel.

Occupant Protection

The passenger seat is monitored by a seat weight sensor to determine the presence and weight of the front passenger.

In certain conditions, e.g. where no passenger is present, the appropriate airbags will be deactivated: in a collision these airbags would not be deployed.

Note: Front airbags are designed to inflate in frontal and near frontal collisions, not low speed impacts, roll-over, side-impact or rear-impact.

Driver’s knee airbag

The driver’s knee airbag (1, see previous page) provides an additional method of restraining the driver in the event of a frontal or near-frontal collision.

The driver’s knee airbag is fitted to all four-wheel drive models. It is located in the panel below the steering column and will normally deploy at the same time as the driver’s airbag.

WARNING:

• The driver’s knee airbag will not deploy if the driver’s seat is near to its full forward position. Do not sit too close to the steering wheel (refer to page 51).

Occupancy sensing

The front passenger seat is equipped with an occupancy sensor. The sensor measures the weight on the cushion and changes the passenger airbag (5, see previous page) deployment status.

The occupancy sensor operates as follows:

Seat occupancy status

Completely empty

Low weight occupant/ object

Heavy occupant/ object

Passenger airbag status

Deactivated No*

Deactivated Yes

Activated No

Indicator light active

Occupant Protection

The airbag indicator light is located on the passenger fascia.

With the driver’s and front passenger’s airbag, the occupant, restrained by the seat belt, moves forward, the head and chest come into contact with the inflated bag. The airbags which then deflate rapidly, in a controlled manner, via vent holes, absorb the remaining energy of the impact.

If the airbags do not inflate in a collision it does not mean that something is wrong with the system; it means the forces of the impact were not of the type sufficient to cause activation. Front airbags are designed to inflate in frontal and near frontal collisions, not roll-over, side-impact or rear-impact.

In circumstances where the airbags are not deployed, protection is provided by the seat belts. The severity of the collision is a function of the relative speed and weight of the vehicles or objects colliding.

Thus, it is extremely important that occupants be properly restrained as far away from the airbag as possible while maintaining vehicle control.

Side protection

The side protection system utilizes four airbags: one mounted in each of the front seats (4, see page 49), and two curtain airbags located in the upper environment just above the door opening (3, see page 49).

When the seat mounted side airbag inflates upon a vehicle side impact, it breaks through the seat bolster stitching, protecting the side of the rib cage of the driver or front seat passenger.

When the curtain airbag inflates upon a vehicle side impact, it breaks through the headlining and deploys downwards, giving head protection to front and rear seat occupants.

The airbags, in combination with the seat belts, can help reduce the risk of severe injuries in the event of a significant side impact collision.

In certain lateral collisions, the airbags on the side affected by the collision will be inflated even if the respective seat is not occupied.

Seat mounted side and curtain airbags are designed to inflate in a side impact collision, not roll-over, rear-impact, frontal or near-frontal collisions, unless the collision causes sufficient lateral deceleration.

Child Safety

Introduction

Jaguar Cars Limited strongly recommends that at all times children should be carried in the rear seats.

WARNING:

• Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!

• Children must be restrained by a child safety restraint that is suitable for their weight and size. We recommend that a Jaguar approved restraint is used.

In many countries legislation governs how and where children should be carried when travelling in a vehicle. It is the responsibility of the driver to comply with all regulations in force in the country where the vehicle is being used.

WARNING:

It is important to read and understand all the information contained in this handbook relating to child safety before carrying a child in your vehicle.

If you are unsure about any aspect of this information, contact your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Make sure you read this entire Child Safety section, which contains general advice about the use of child restraints.

• Pages 55 to 56 give specific information about installing a non-ISOFIX child restraint.

• Pages 57 to 60 give specific information about installing an ISOFIX child restraint.

Note: Currently, ISOFIX restraints can only be installed in Saloon models. They cannot be installed in Estate models.

WARNING:

DO NOT install a rearward-facing child seat in the front passenger seat position since deployment of the passenger fascia airbag could cause death or serious injury to the child. This is emphasised by the label displayed on the end of the fascia on the front passenger side. If however, you have no alternative but to place a child in the front passenger seat, use only a forward-facing child seat with the passenger seat set fully rearward and in its lowest position. Always follow the fitting instructions supplied with the appropriate child restraint system.

Child Safety

Summary of the Law

In all countries there are regulations governing the use of restraint systems for children and babies. Infants and children must be seated in an approved safety device, which is suitable for the weight and size of the child. A child restraint must meet the regulations enforced in the country where it is used and the approval number and the weight category have to be clearly labelled on the seat.

Generally, the following law applies:

• Children under three years of age must be secured in an appropriate child restraint.

• Children aged 3 to 11 years and less than approx. 1.5 metres (5 ft) in height should be secured in an appropriate child restraint if available. Otherwise, the adult seat belt must be used.

• For children aged 12 or 13 years, or a younger child of approx. 1.5 metres (5 ft) or more in height, the adult seat belt must be used.

• In all three cases above, it is the responsibility of the Driver to ensure that the safety of children travelling with them is adequately provided for.

• From 14 years of age, all passengers should use the adult seat belts provided and it is their own responsibility to do so.

Caution: Failure to comply with the law could result in prosecution and could affect insurance cover. Remember the driver has responsibility for other passengers under 14 years and the careful stowage of luggage and loose items.

Holding a baby or child in a person’s arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. Do not use a seat belt to restrain more than one person.

In an accident, a baby or child held in a person’s arms can be crushed between the vehicle’s interior and a restrained person.

The child can also be injured by hitting the interior or by being thrown from the vehicle during a sudden manoeuvre or impact.

Injury can also be caused if the baby or child is allowed to ride on the seat unrestrained. Other occupants should also be properly restrained to help reduce the chance of injuring the child.

Do not allow children to stand in the space between the seats, or on the passenger seats.

Child Seat Selection

Before you buy a child seat, it is important to note that your child’s weight, rather than age, determines the type of seat that is required.

Child safety seats are divided into five categories, by the weight range for which they are suitable. Refer to the table on page 55.

Jaguar recommends that a rear-facing seat with a harness is used for as long as your infant’s development allows.

Do not use a forward-facing seat until your child is above the minimum weight of 9 kg (20 lb) and able to sit up unaided. Up to the age of two, a child’s spine and neck are not sufficiently developed to avoid injury in a frontal impact.

Child Safety

Jaguar’s recommended and approved Group 1 ISOFIX seat is the Britax Roemer ‘Duo Plus’ (refer to page 57). The Jaguar ISOFIX anchorage kit has to be installed by a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer, to enable the ISOFIX restraint to be fitted. Currently, the anchorage kit is only available for Saloon models.

When choosing a child seat, it is also important to consider how you plan to use it. For longer journeys, a reclining seat may offer added comfort and support for a sleeping child, while a light-weight design may be easier to lift in and out of the vehicle. It is also worth noting that some children are more suited to a harness-style seat than a booster seat during their toddler years.

Because child seats vary in shape, certain designs may be more stable when mounted on the outer rear seating positions, rather than in the centre. Always check that the child seat can be mounted securely in the required position: if in doubt, speak to your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

We strongly advise that you do not buy or use a second-hand child seat. The seat may have been used inappropriately, or involved in an accident. In such circumstances, the seat may not protect your child.

Infant safety

Babies and small children who cannot sit up by themselves should be carried in an approved rear facing infant carrier, which should always be installed in a rear seating position.

Child Safety

Securing child restraints with an adult seat belt

Always ensure that child restraint assemblies are fitted in strict accordance with the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions. Keep the fitting instructions for future reference.

The following checks should always be carried out:

• Fit the child seat in the correct position and secure with the adult seat belt in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. If necessary, remove the headrest to accommodate a larger child seat.

Child Safety

• Make sure the child seat is fitted firmly to the car seat. There should not be excessive forward or sideways movement.

• Regularly check and refit the child seat, to ensure there is no slack in the installation.

• The seat belt must not be twisted and the buckle must not rest on the child seat frame, as it may snap open in an accident.

• Never modify the seat, or install it differently to the instructions.

Always secure an unoccupied child seat safely. In an accident, an unsecured child seat may pose a risk to the vehicle’s occupants.

Safe Use of Child Restraints

Ensure there is no slack in the webbing and the restraint fits the child snugly across the rib cage and hips. These are the parts of the body most able to take the force of an impact.

• Ensure the path and position of an integral harness across the shoulders is appropriate for your child’s development - consult the manufacturer’s instructions.

• The lap strap should pass across the top of the child’s thighs, bearing on the pelvis, not the abdominal area.

• Adjust the harness every time, so that one or two fingers only can be inserted between the child and harness. Different clothing on a child can make a difference to the correct fitting of the harness.

• Make sure the harness webbing is not twisted.

• Never modify the seat harness or buckles, as this may affect the quick release mechanism.

• Always secure your child correctly, even for the shortest journey.

• Follow the seat manufacturer’s instructions for harness adjustments.

Booster seats

If a booster seat is used, position the lap section of the adult seat belt over the child’s pelvis. The diagonal seat belt should rest on the child’s shoulder, not the neck.

Non-ISOFIX Check List

Follow the check list each time your child travels in the vehicle:

• Carefully follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system.

• Always use the appropriate child restraints and adjust harnesses for every child, every trip.

• Avoid dressing your child in bulky clothing and do not place any objects between the child and the restraint system.

• Regularly check the fit of your child seat and replace seats or harnesses that show signs of wear.

• Ensure that you have removed all slack from the adult seat belt.

• No child seat is completely child-proof. Encourage your child not to play with the buckle or harness.

• Never leave a child unsupervised in the vehicle.

• Activate the rear door child safety locks (see page 36).

Child Safety

• Ensure your child does not exit the vehicle from the side where there is traffic.

• Set your child a good example always wear your seat belt.

ISOFIX Child Restraints

(Saloon models only)

Only the Britax Roemer ‘Duo Plus’ ISOFIX restraint is approved by Jaguar for use with this system. An ISOFIX anchorage kit must be fitted to your vehicle before the ISOFIX seat can be installed. These brackets must be supplied and fitted by your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer. The ISOFIX anchorage kit and the ISOFIX seat cannot be installed in Estate models.

The ISOFIX system allows an ISOFIX child seat to be secured directly and easily to the vehicle body without the use of adult seat belts.

Many injuries to children in accidents are caused by the incorrect fitting and tensioning of the adult seat belts, which are normally used to secure child seats. The ISOFIX system reduces the likelihood of incorrect fitting and is also quicker and simpler to use.

The ISOFIX system uses two anchorage loops and a top tether bracket fixed to the vehicle body. The ISOFIX child seat has two retractable lower catches that lock onto the anchorage loops and a strap that clips onto the top tether bracket. The child seat has a quick release mechanism to allow it to be removed easily.

The anchorage loops are accessible through the gap between the rear seat back and cushion for both outer seat positions. Removable plastic guides are supplied with the ISOFIX seat to allow the seat to be fitted easily.

Note: To ensure the ISOFIX child seat is installed safely, read all the information provided on pages 57 to 60.

Child Safety

Fitting the ISOFIX plastic guides

The seat anchorage loops (which must be supplied and fitted by a Jaguar Dealer/ Authorised Repairer) are attached to the panel immediately behind the rear seats in the gap between the seat cushion and seat back (see previous illustration).

Open up the gap between the seat cushion and seat back to expose an anchorage loop. Locate the cut-outs at the rear of the guide onto the anchorage loop and push the guide fully in until it clips in place on the anchorage loop.

Fit the second guide.

The plastic guides make it easier to fit the child seat and avoid damage to the vehicle’s seat covers. If correctly fitted, the guides will normally remain in place when the child seat is removed.

Pull out the guides to remove.

The plastic guides must be removed before folding down the seat backs.

Always ensure the child seat anchorage legs and the vehicle anchorage loops are kept clean and free of dirt.

Installing the ISOFIX seat

Caution: Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the ISOFIX child seat. The following is to be considered only as a guide.

1. ISOFIX seats can only be installed in

the rear outboard seating positions.

2. Make sure the adult seat belts and buckles do not become trapped behind the child seat.

3. Make sure there is nothing obstructing the seat mounting mechanism at the anchorage points.

4. Release the green lever on the rear of the seat and fully extend the two attachment legs on the child seat. Ensure the hook at the end of each leg is open.

5. Position the attachment legs just in front of the plastic guides (see illustration on this page). Press in the green locking button (A) on one of the anchorage legs and push the anchorage leg through the plastic guide to engage with the vehicle’s anchorage loop. There should be an audible ‘click’.

6. Repeat Step 5. for the seat’s second anchorage leg.

7. Using firm and even pressure on both sides, push the child seat rearwards until it is secured firmly against the vehicle seat back. Make sure you do NOT trap the top tether strap behind the child seat.

8. Attach the top tether (refer to page

59).

9. As a final check, firmly pull both sides of the seat to confirm that it is correctly locked in position.

Child Safety

WARNING:

The top tether must always be used to secure the ISOFIX child seat.

Child restraint top tether anchorages and brackets

The top of the child seat is connected by a short strap to the top tether bracket to prevent the seat from rotating about the lower anchorages. The top tether brackets are positioned on the rear parcel shelf, under access covers, at the centre-line of the outboard rear seating positions.

Pass the top tether strap under the vehicle rear head restraint to connect to the top tether bracket on the parcel shelf. Adjust the length of the top tether strap to hold the top of the child seat against the vehicle seat back.

Make sure the child seat is securely fitted, and follow the ISOFIX check list.

WARNING:

Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.

Australia only: Australian vehicles are fitted with three top tether brackets as standard. Before the ISOFIX child seat can be used, it will still be necessary for your Jaguar Dealer to fit the ISOFIX lower anchorage loops. The ISOFIX child seat cannot be fitted in the central seat position.

Removing the ISOFIX seat

To remove the ISOFIX child seat, undo the top tether strap. Press the green locking button on each side of the seat to release the anchorage legs and lift the child seat from the vehicle.

Child Safety

ISOFIX Check List

Follow the check list each time your child travels in the vehicle:

• Always attach the top tether when installing the ISOFIX seat.

• Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the child seat.

• Always give the ISOFIX seat a final pull to ensure the lower anchors are secure, even if the green buttons indicate that the seat connectors are latched.

• Always use the appropriate child restraints and adjust harnesses for every child, every trip.

• Make sure your child falls into the correct weight range for the seat (9 - 18 kg [20 - 40 lb]).

• Avoid dressing your child in bulky clothing and do not place any objects between the child and the restraint system.

• Regularly check the fit of your child seat and replace seats or harnesses that show signs of wear.

• No child seat is completely child-proof. Encourage your child not to play with the buckle or harness.

• Never leave a child unsupervised in the vehicle.

• Activate the rear door child safety locks (see page 36).

• Ensure your child does not exit the vehicle from the side where there is traffic.

• Set your child a good example always wear your seat belt.

Seats

Manual Seat Adjustment

Forward and rearward: Each front seat

can be adjusted forward and rearward by lifting the locking bar (1), situated below the front of the seat cushion and sliding the seat to the required position. After releasing the locking bar, slight additional seat movement may be necessary to engage the locking mechanism.

Height adjustment: The driver’s seat has a switch (2) to adjust the seat for height. The whole seat cushion will raise or lower by moving the switch up or down.

Back adjustment: To alter the angle of the front seat squab, lean forward slightly to relieve body pressure from the seat back and rotate the handwheel (3) in the required direction.

Head Restraints

WARNING:

Adjust the head restraint so that it is just behind your head and never behind your neck.

Each front head restraint can be adjusted to give the correct height for the seat occupant. They may also be manually tilted.

To lower: Press the lever in the escutcheon and push the head restraint into the seat back to the required height.

To raise: Pull the head restraint upwards.

Rear centre head restraint (Where fitted)

The rear centre head restraint has two positions only. It can be stowed within the seat back when not in use and should be extended when an occupant is in the centre seat.

Seats

Electrical Seat Adjustment

(Where fitted)

WARNING:

• Do not make adjustments when the vehicle is moving.

• Front passengers must not ride with the seat fully reclined.

Depending upon the vehicle specification, seats have manual and/or electrical adjustment.

A key does not have to be in the ignition switch for seat adjustment.

Front Seat Controls

There are two different types of switch for controlling the seat base, A (10-way adjustment) or B (4-way adjustment).

1. Controls the seat position. To move the seat forward or rearward - move the switch forwards or rearwards. Front/rear of cushion raise/lower move the front or rear of the switch up or down. If both front and rear are raised or lowered together, the whole seat cushion will raise or lower.

2. Controls the seat height. Pull the switch up or down to raise or lower the seat.

3. Controls the seat back angle. Move the switch rearwards to recline or forwards to raise the seat back angle.

If the seat has 10-way adjustment, switch (4) adjusts lumbar support. Press the top of the switch to increase lumbar support, press the bottom of the switch to decrease lumbar support.

Passenger Seat

If the passenger seat has two-way electrical adjustment, it will be fitted with switch (4). This adjusts the passenger seat back angle.

The passenger seat can be moved fore and aft manually by lifting the locking bar under the front edge of the seat, refer to the illustration on page 61.

Seats

Driver’s Seat Memory

This facility allows the positions of the driver’s seat and door rear view mirrors to be memorised and recalled for different occupants.

Up to three settings can be stored. The switch pack is located towards the front of the driver’s seat base, next to the driver’s door (as shown in the illustration on page 62).

Setting a memorised position

A. Controls the seat position. To move

the seat forward or rearward - move the switch forwards or rearwards. Front/rear of cushion raise/lower move the front or rear of the switch up or down. If both front and rear are raised or lowered together, the whole seat cushion will rise or fall.

B. Controls the seat back angle. Tilt the

top of the switch rearwards or forwards to recline or raise the seat back angle.

C. Controls the lumbar support (where

fitted). Push the bottom of the switch rearwards or forwards to increase or decrease lumbar support.

To store a driving position in the memory:

1. Adjust the seat and door mirrors to the

desired positions.

2. Push the memory button ‘M’ (see previous illustration). A chime will sound.

3. Within 5 seconds of pushing the ‘M’ button, push button ‘1’, ‘2’ or ‘3’ to memorise the configuration. A double chime will sound, and, if the ignition is ON, a message will be displayed in the message centre to indicate that the procedure was successful.

By repeating these three steps and pressing the unused buttons, two more driving positions can be stored in the memory.

To set a new driving position, adjust the driver’s seat and door mirrors and perform steps 2 and 3. The previous memory will be erased and the new position will be stored.

Note: Button ‘M’ is concave, and there is a raised point on button ‘2’. This allows the buttons to be identified by touch.

Seats

Recalling a memorised position

Ensure the gear selector lever is in position ‘P’ and the handbrake is on.

Press and release the appropriate memory button (‘1’, ‘2’ or ‘3’). The seat and door mirrors will move automatically to the memorised position.

If the door mirror or seat position switches are operated whilst the seat and door mirrors are repositioning, the process will be cancelled. Press the memory button again to resume.

Note: The memory function will only operate if:

•

The handbrake is on (manual transmission only).

•

Automatic transmission is set to ‘P’.

Front Seat Heaters

(Where fitted)

Each front seat back and cushion has a heater controlled by a switch on the centre console.

With the ignition switch in position ‘II’, press the switch to turn the heaters on.

The first press will heat the seat to a high temperature setting, a second press will heat the seat to a lower setting.

A third press will turn the seat heater off.

A light within the switch will show when the heater is ON, red for the high heat setting and yellow for the lower setting.

The heater will automatically switch OFF:

• After it has been on for 10 minutes.

• If the ignition is turned OFF.

• If a fault is detected.

The heater will maintain a preset temperature while it is switched on. Storage of the vehicle in a heated garage, body heat or warm ambient temperatures may prevent operation of the seat heater.

Clock

Clock Adjustment

The position of the digital clock depends on the equipment fitted to the vehicle.

If a touch-screen is fitted to the vehicle, the clock will be incorporated in the touch-screen display.

If the vehicle is not equipped with a touch-screen, the clock is included in the audio display.

Column Release Lever

Steering Column

WARNING:

Do not adjust the steering column whilst driving.

The steering column can be adjusted for reach and height.

Holding the steering wheel, push the release lever fully downwards.

Move the steering wheel up or down and in or out as required, for a comfortable, safe driving position.

After adjustment, fully raise the lever to lock the steering wheel in position.

Door Windows

Window Switches

Front windows on all models are electrically operated. Depending on the model, rear windows can be either manually or electrically operated.

Electric Window Operation

Switches on the driver’s door switch pack control the driver and passenger door windows.

The passengers are provided with a switch to control their door window only.

These switches will only operate the window when the ignition switch is in position ‘II’.

If rear electrically operated windows are fitted, button (1) immobilises the rear window switches preventing passengers from operating their windows. The button integral red light will be lit when the rear windows cannot be operated by the rear seat passengers.

Note: If a resonance (booming sound) occurs with the rear windows open, lower the front windows about 15 mm (0.5 inches). This will eliminate the noise, by altering the frequency of the air moving in and out of the vehicle.

WARNING:

• When raising windows ensure all occupants are clear.

• When leaving the vehicle take the ignition keys to prevent misuse of the window switches by remaining occupants, especially children.

Operation

To lower a window, press down the switch to its first position and hold until the desired position is reached, then release.

To close a window, pull the switch upwards to its first position and hold until the desired position is reached, then release.

If the switches are held for longer than 6 seconds, for example, when attempting to overcome frozen or jammed windows, the window drive will be switched off for a few seconds to protect the window drive motors.

One-touch operation

Each window has a ‘one-touch’ facility enabling the occupant to fully open or close the window in one quick movement. Pulling, or pressing, the switch to its second position and quickly releasing will close or open the window in one movement. Window travel can be stopped at any time by pressing the switch again.

Door Windows

Window Anti-trap Feature

Each electrically operated window has an anti-trap feature. If the upward movement of the window detects an obstacle the anti-trap feature will immediately stop the window closing, then move it downwards for a short distance.

WARNING:

If the battery is disconnected or discharged the window anti-trap feature is lost. When the battery is reconnected or recharged the window anti-trap feature must be reset.

Resetting the electrically operated windows anti-trap feature

• Fully close the window, hold the switch in the close position for two seconds and then release the switch. Wait for two seconds, do not open the window.

• Again, select the same window to close, holding the switch for a further two seconds.

• Check to confirm the operation by opening the window and then use one touch operation to close the window.

• Repeat for the remaining electrically operated windows.

Overriding the anti-trap protection

The anti-trap system will also stop the window closing if a blockage or resistance occurs e.g. in the window guide channels. Typically this might be due to icing in winter but could also be caused by damage or misalignment of the guide channels or seals.

To override the anti-trap action:

• After the initial attempt to close the window, operate the close switch a second time.

• When the window has reversed from the blockage, operate the switch (within 10 seconds) until the window stops again (it will not reverse on the third attempt).

• Immediately operate the close switch again. The window will now move up a short distance with increased force to override the blockage.

• Repeat the override action until the window has closed. Each time the window stops, the switch must be operated immediately to initiate further override action.

If this procedure fails to move the blockage, the anti-trap feature will be lost and must be reset (see first column) after the blockage has been cleared.

Thermal overload

If the windows are repeatedly opened and closed (e.g. by a child), a protection system will deactivate window operation for a short period to avoid overheating of the window motors.

Mirrors

Door Rear View Mirrors

Both door mirrors are adjusted from the driver’s door switchpack. The four-way adjustment button (1) moves the mirrors to the required position. The selector switch (2) selects the mirror to be moved, left for the left-hand side mirror and right for the right-hand side mirror. When the selector switch is in the centre position, adjustment to either mirror is inhibited.

Each mirror housing, except the power fold back door mirror, is designed to pivot against the vehicle upon impact. To return the mirror to its normal position, reposition the housing until it locks into place.

Mirror heating

The door mirrors have heating elements which work when the rear screen heater is switched ON. The mirror heater will clear all ice from the mirror surface.

Caution: Do not use a scraper to remove ice from the mirrors as this will damage the surface.

Power fold back (Where fitted)

To assist parking by reducing the overall vehicle width, the door mirrors can be folded inwards.

The button (3) is located in the driver’s door window switchpack and will operate the mirrors when the ignition switch is in any position except OFF.

To fold the mirrors inwards press the button. A second press of the button returns the mirrors to their normal driving position.

Note:

•

If the button is pressed repeatedly, a thermal cut-out will prevent damage to the vehicle’s electronics. If this occurs, wait for five minutes for the cut-out to reset, before operating the button.

•

If the thermal cut-out operates and leaves the mirrors in the folded position, the mirrors can be folded outwards manually.

•

If the door mirrors are repositioned manually (or are knocked out of position), the mirror head will be loose. To re-engage the mechanism, power the mirror to the foldback position, then outwards to the drive position.

WARNING:

Do not drive the vehicle with the door mirrors in the folded position, except when parking.

Mirrors

Interior Rear View Mirror

Interior mirrors are either manual dip or electrochromic.

Manual dip mirror

The interior rear view mirror can be dipped to prevent glare from a following vehicle’s headlights by pulling lever (1). Pushing the lever returns the mirror to its daytime setting.

Adjusting the mirror - The mirror is mounted on an adjustable arm (2) which can be angled to vary mirror height and lateral position.

Hold the arm and move to the desired position and then readjust the mirror itself.

The engine operating temperature will vary with changes in weather and engine load. The engine temperature may rise in some circumstances, such as:

• Idling for long periods in slow moving traffic.

• Driving up a long hill in hot weather.

• Driving slowly or stopping after driving

at high speed.

• Towing a trailer or caravan.

Should the pointer move into the red segment (H) or the red light illuminate, stop the vehicle as soon as it is safely possible, turn off the engine and open the bonnet to allow the engine to cool.

WARNING:

The radiator cooling fans may continue to run after the ignition has been switched off but will automatically switch off when the engine has cooled sufficiently.

Warning Lights

General Description

Warning lights are arranged within the instrument cluster.

When a message centre is fitted there are two warning lights, one red, the other amber, located above the message centre for primary and secondary status of the warnings displayed by the message centre.

‘RED’ warning lights are for primary warnings. A primary warning must be investigated immediately by the driver or a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

‘AMBER’ warning lights are for secondary warnings when the driver must take action and then report the fault to a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer at the earliest opportunity.

Other lights indicate system status, such as blue for main beam and green for direction indicators, when in operation.

A light check is initiated when the ignition is switched ON and lasts for three seconds (except the airbag warning light, which will remain on for 6 seconds). If any warning light remains on after this period, investigate the cause before driving.

When activated, some warning lights have associated messages displayed on the message centre.

Note: Not all lights are included in the light check, for example main beam headlights or direction indicators.

High engine temperature (red)

WARNING:

It is unsafe to run the engine in an overheated condition.

The first indication of high engine temperature will be the needle entering the RED zone of the coolant gauge and the illumination of the engine high temperature warning light.

If driving, pull to the side of the road and stop the engine when it is safe to do so. Allow the engine to cool.

To assist cooling, high engine temperature automatically turns off the air conditioning. To maintain some cooling it is advisable to switch the air distribution to ‘recirculation’.

If a message centre is fitted the light will illuminate and a message will be displayed.

Warning Lights

WARNING:

Do not remove the coolant reservoir filler cap while the engine is hot. If it is essential, then protect your hands against escaping steam. SLOWLY turn the cap anti-clockwise to allow the steam pressure to escape completely before removing the cap.

Low oil pressure (red)

This illuminates with the ignition switched ON and should be extinguished when the engine is running.

If the warning light stays ON when the engine is running, loss of oil pressure is indicated. STOP the engine immediately and investigate the cause.

Caution: Do not restart the engine until the cause of loss of oil pressure has been identified and rectified.

First check the engine oil level, see page 171.

Seat belt (red)

Illuminates when the ignition is ON and the driver’s seat belt

is not fastened. If the warning light stays ON with the seat belt fastened, report the fault to a Jaguar Dealer/ Authorised Repairer. It is safe to drive the vehicle with the light ON, provided that the seat belt is properly fastened.

Cruise (Speed) Control

Cruise Control Switches

The cruise (speed) control system (where fitted) can be used by the driver to maintain a selected vehicle speed above 28 km/h (18 mph) for 2.5- and 3.0-litre vehicles, and 40 km/h (25 mph) for

2.0-litre petrol and diesel vehicles, without the driver having to use the accelerator.

Controls on the steering wheel allow the driver manual control of the system. Brake and clutch operations also influence the cruise control system.

1. SPEED ADJUSTMENT WHEEL is used to engage cruise control initially. It is also used to increase/decrease the set speed.

2. CANCEL cancels cruise control but retains the set speed in memory.

3. RESUME engages cruise control after it has been cancelled.

Setting vehicle speed

WARNING:

Only use cruise control when conditions are favourable, for example, straight, dry, open roads with light traffic.

When you are travelling at the speed you require, which must be above 28 km/h (18 mph) for 2.5- and 3.0-litre vehicles, and 40 km/h (25 mph) for 2.0-litre petrol and diesel vehicles, rotate the speed adjustment wheel towards ‘+’ and then release it. Cruise control will engage and maintain the set speed and you can remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.

The instrument cluster light will illuminate to show that the

system is on. Vehicles with a message centre will show the message CRUISE ENGAGED.

Note: Cruise control will automatically disengage when the brake pedal is pressed or when the vehicle speed falls below 28 km/h (18 mph) for 2.5- and

3.0-litre vehicles, and 40 km/h (25 mph) for 2.0-litre petrol and diesel vehicles. If the vehicle has a manual gearbox, pressing the clutch pedal will also disengage the cruise control. Vehicles with a message centre will show the message CRUISE CANCELLED.

Cruise (Speed) Control

Changing the set speed

To increase or decrease the set speed, rotate the speed adjustment wheel until the desired speed is obtained.

The speed adjustment wheel can be used in two ways:

• If the wheel is repeatedly rotated and released (i.e. ‘flicked’ towards ‘+’ or ‘-’), the set speed will increase/ decrease in increments of 2 km/h or 1 mph.

• If the wheel is rotated towards ‘+’ or ‘-’ and held in position, the set speed will continuously increase/decrease.

Resuming the set speed

If the vehicle is accelerated above the set speed, then the set speed will be resumed when the accelerator pedal is released.

If CANCEL is pressed, or the brake or clutch pedal is pressed, the cruise control will disengage but the set speed memory will be retained. Press RESUME and the vehicle will return to the set speed.

Note: Cruise control will not resume at speeds below 28 km/h (18 mph) for 2.5and 3.0-litre vehicles, and 40 km/h (25 mph) for 2.0-litre petrol and diesel vehicles.

Caution:

• RESUME should only be used if the driver is aware of the set speed and intends to return to it.

• It is not recommended to resume set speed when a low gear is selected as excessive engine speeds will occur.

Cruise control will switch off and clear the memory when:

• The ignition is switched to position ‘0’.

• A fault occurs. The cruise control system will switch OFF and cannot be used until the fault is cleared.

Cruise control automatic switch off

Cruise control will switch off but the set speed will remain in the memory when:

• The CANCEL button is pressed.

• The brake pedal is pressed.

• The handbrake is applied.

• Speed falls below 28 km/h (18 mph)

for 2.5- and 3.0-litre vehicles, and 40 km/h (25 mph) for 2.0-litre petrol and diesel vehicles.

• Neutral, Park or Reverse gear positions are selected.

• Traction control or DSC is operating.

• The difference between the actual and

set speed is too great.

• When the vehicle reaches a maximum speed of:

Manual: 200 km/h (125 mph).

Auto: 192 km/h (120 mph).

• The accelerator pedal is used to accelerate beyond the set speed for too long a period.

• If the vehicle has a manual gearbox, pressing the clutch pedal will also disengage the cruise control.

Parking Assist

Parking Assist System

(Where fitted)

Caution: It remains the driver’s responsibility to detect obstacles and estimate the car’s distance from them. Some overhanging objects, barriers, thin obstructions or painted surfaces which could possibly cause damage to the vehicle may not be detected by the system. Always be vigilant when reversing.

Rear parking assist is switched on with the ignition. However, it only becomes active once reverse gear is selected.

Caution:

• If, for example, you are driving within a confined space such as a home garage, the outer sensors will detect the side walls and after 3 seconds will switch the tone off. However, as movement continues, the inner sensors will eventually detect the rear wall and will start the tone again.

• The rear sensors are not active when the gear selector is in neutral, therefore care should be taken if moving the vehicle as the tone will not sound.

• Do not clean the sensors with abrasive or sharp objects.

Note:

•

For reliable operation, the sensors in the front and rear bumpers should be kept free from ice, frost and grime.

•

When using a high pressure spray the sensors should only be sprayed briefly and not from a distance of less than 200 mm (8 inches). Do not clean the sensors with abrasive materials.

Towing

Where approved Jaguar tow-bar electrics are fitted, the reverse parking assist is automatically switched off if a caravan or trailer is attached to the vehicle. The front parking assist will remain active.

Rear-fitted accessories

Particular care must be taken when reversing with rear-fitted accessories e.g. tow-bar or bicycle carrier, as the rear park assist wll only indicate the distance from the bumper to the obstacle.

Parking Assist

Rear parking assist

When reverse gear is selected and the ignition is on, rear parking assist provides an audible warning when reversing the vehicle if obstacles are detected within range of the rear of the vehicle, as shown in the illustration above.

(1) is approximately 300 mm (12 inches).

(2) is approximately 1500 mm (59 inches).

Front and rear parking assist

When both front and rear parking assist are fitted, a switch is located in the overhead console.

Pressing the switch turns front and rear parking assist on or off together. The integral switch warning light will come on when the system is turned on. The light will blink if a fault is detected in the system.

A switch is not provided where only rear parking assist is fitted.

Note: Front parking assist is always inactive when the ignition is turned on. It is switched on when reverse gear is selected, or if the overhead console switch is pressed at speeds below 15 km/h (9 mph).
