General Information

Owner Information

Introduction

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

Details of the vehicle warranty are contained within the ‘Passport to Service’ booklet for USA and Canada or, for Mexico, the ‘Service Portfolio’ 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 Retailers

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

Jaguar Retailers are provided with full technical support from the factory, with comprehensive training for all their technicians. Retailers’ 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 Retailer 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 Retailers stock a large number of parts to keep your vehicle maintained and get you back on the road as quickly as possible.

Their service is supported by strategically positioned Jaguar parts distribution centres throughout North America providing next day delivery to the majority of Retailers.

Accessories

A full range of Jaguar Engineering approved accessories including safety, stowage, touring, leisure and lifestyle products are just some of those available from your Jaguar Retailership.

Please ask your Jaguar Retailer for an up-to-date brochure so you can select your requirements from the latest range.

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 the Vehicle

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 underhood area or inside the vehicle.

Reporting Safety Defects (USA only)

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Jaguar Cars.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.

However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your Retailer, or Jaguar Cars.

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1–800–424–9393 (or 366–0123 in Washington D.C. area) or write to:

NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590.

To contact Jaguar Cars, call 1–800 4 Jaguar.

You can also obtain other information about motor safety from the Hotline.

Vehicle Handbooks

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

Regular Servicing

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

General Information

Owners are responsible for the regular maintenance and servicing of the vehicle. Jaguar Retailers 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.

USA and Canada

Jaguar Retailers will arrange for appointments on a mileage/distance or time interval basis to ensure that all routine and corrective maintenance work is undertaken and recorded in the ‘Passport to Service’ Booklet. This booklet not only contains a record of vital information, but also information about warranties, Jaguar Cars, Jaguar Car Clubs, Tyre Manufacturers and change of ownership or address vouchers.

Mexico

Jaguar Retailers will arrange for appointments on a mileage/distance or time interval basis to ensure that all routine and corrective maintenance work is undertaken and recorded in the ‘Service Portfolio’ Book. This booklet not only contains a record of vital information, but also information about warranty.

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.

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 Retailer.

Vehicle Identification

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

It is essential that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is quoted in all correspondence and when ordering replacement parts.

The number is visible from outside the vehicle, on a plate in the lower left edge of the windscreen.

Certification Label

Vehicles have the Certification Label adhered to the left-hand front door hinge post. Vehicle weights, paint code, manufacture date and the VIN are shown on this plate.

Engine number

V6: The number is located on the lower

left-hand side of the cylinder block near the bedplate.

General Information

V8: The number is located on the rear

left-hand side of the cylinder block, either adjacent to the transmission flange, or on the left-hand side web towards the rear of the cylinder block.

Transmission number

On a metal label or bar code label attached to the transmission casing.

Floor Mat Retention

Ensure that the driver’s floor mat is correctly positioned and secured under the tongues on the retention posts (1, 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.

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.

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.

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 (eg: 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 recommend 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, and follows these instructions precisely.

For any further questions please consult your Jaguar Retailer for specialist advice.

General Information

Window Tinting

WARNING:

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 System (GPS) signals by the antenna, causing the navigation system to stop functioning.

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

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.

Health and Safety

WARNING:

• Many liquids and other substances used in vehicles are poisonous and should never be consumed and must be kept away from open wounds. These substances include anti-freeze, brake fluid, fuel, windscreen washer additives, lubricants and various adhesives.

• The presence of any unusual fumes (for example, petrolor exhaust fumes) in the passenger compartment and/or luggage compartment should be corrected immediately by a Jaguar Retailer. If you must drive under these conditions do so only with all windows fully open.

• By operating other electronic equipment (for example, a mobile phone without an exterior antenna) electro-magnetic fields can cause malfunctions of the vehicle electronics. Therefore, you should observe the instructions of the equipment manufacturers.

• Do not disconnect any pipes in the air conditioning refrigeration system. A refrigerant is used which can cause blindness if allowed to contact the eyes. If refrigerant should contact the eyes or skin, wash the eyes or affected area with cold water for several minutes. Do not rub. As soon as possible thereafter, obtain treatment from a doctor or eye specialist.

• Any modifications to the fuel system not specifically designed for this Jaguar are prohibited. Such modifications in some circumstances could result in a fire. All service actions must be entrusted to a Jaguar Retailer.

• When working within the engine compartment, take care to avoid contact with moving parts and hot components, and ensure that any metal objects do not short circuit the battery connections.

• California Proposition 65: Engine exhaust, some of its constituents and certain vehicle components, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

• Alterations to the electrical system, including the fitting of accessories not designed for this Jaguar, will cause damage to the electrical circuits and systems. In some circumstances this could result in a malfunction or fire. All accessory work should be entrusted to a Jaguar Retailer.

Health and Safety

• No attempt should be made to repair a fuse that has blown. Always install a new fuse of the correct amperage. Failure to comply with the above may cause a fire hazard or create serious damage elsewhere in the electrical circuit.

Security and Locks

Ignition Switch

The fascia-mounted ignition switch, on the right-hand side of the steering column, has four key positions:

0 Ignition OFF I Auxiliary II Ignition ON III Engine start

When the key is turned back to the OFF position, the delayed accessory feature becomes active, so long as the driver’s and front passenger’s doors are shut and remain shut. The circuits available in the auxiliary position remain activated for a preset timed period.

Position ‘0’: Is the only position in which the key can be inserted and removed. When the key is removed the steering lock is engaged.

Position ‘I’: Allows use of some electrical circuits, for example, radio operation.

Position ‘II’: All electrical circuits except the starter motor are activated. The key remains in this position when driving.

Position ‘III’: The starter motor is operated for as long as the key is held in this position, against spring pressure.

To Remove the Ignition Key

Manual transmission vehicles only

Apply the parkbrake and turn the key to position ‘0’. The key can then be removed from the switch.

Automatic transmission vehicles only

Automatic transmission vehicles have a key interlock feature.

Apply the parkbrake, place the gear selector in ‘P’ and turn the key to position ‘0’.

The automatic transmission gear selector must be placed in Park ‘P’ before the key can be removed from the ignition switch. When the key is removed, the gear selector will be locked in Park.

Gearshift Interlock

A brake pedal/gearshift interlock system is incorporated in the automatic transmission gear selector mechanism. See page 134.

Steering Column Lock

The steering column lock is remote from the ignition switch and controlled electronically. The lock will engage when the key is removed from the ignition switch while the vehicle is stationary. The lock will disengage when the key is placed in the ignition switch.

The lock can be heard as it engages and disengages.

Vehicle Security

Introduction

When leaving the vehicle unoccupied, remember the following:

• Apply the parkbrake 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 (where fitted).

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

Immobilisation System

This vehicle is equipped with an immobilisation system which prevents it from being driven away by an unauthorised person.

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, a sophisticated decoding process is used to validate the key transponder code. The engine cannot be started unless the key is programmed to the vehicle electronic systems.

When turning the key in the ignition switch to start the engine, if the security status light on the centre console remains flashing, a fault condition is indicated, and it is possible that the engine will not start. Please contact a Jaguar Retailer to investigate the cause of the light flashing even if the engine starts.

Keys

Vehicles are supplied with two key transmitters, which comprise the key body integrated with the remote transmitter. Separate keys, without the transmitter, are also available from Jaguar Retailer.

The key operates all the locks on your vehicle. The key number is recorded on an adhesive label which is fixed to the back of each key. Peel off the label and keep safely, not in the vehicle.

A maximum of eight keys can be used, of which up to four may be key transmitters. All the keys and transmitters used must be programmed to the vehicle by a Jaguar Retailer.

Vehicle Security

Radio Frequency Approval

If the type approval of your key transmitter requires inspection, refer to the table below.

Garage Door Opener

Garage Door Opener Transceiver

(Where fitted)

The garage door opener transceiver is located in the roof console. This transceiver can be programmed to transmit the radio frequencies of up to three different transmitters which can be used to activate garage doors, entry gates, home lighting, security systems, or other radio frequency operated devices.

Although this section mainly describes the procedures for a garage door opener, it also equally applies to the previously mentioned applications.

In some countries this feature is also known as the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.

For further information, or for assistance, contact your Jaguar Retailer, or the supplier by phone or via the internet. For details, see Information and Assistance on page 49.

WARNING:

• Do not use the transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as required by safety standards. A garage door opener which cannot detect an object, signalling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases risk of serious injury or death.

• When programming the transceiver to a garage door opener or entry gate, make sure that people, vehicles and objects are out of the way to prevent potential harm or damage as the gate or garage door will activate during the programme.

• This device may suffer from interference if operated in the vicinity of a mobile or fixed station transmitter. This interference is likely to affect the hand-held transmitter as well as the in-car transceiver.

Garage Door Opener

Before Programming

Caution: When programming a garage door opener or entry gate that may require you to press and re-press the hand-held transmitter (cycle), unplug the device during the ‘cycling’ process to prevent possible motor failure.

It is recommended that for best results, fit a new battery to the hand-held transmitter of the garage door opener (or other device) before programming. If your garage door opener receiver (located in the garage) is equipped with an antenna, ensure that the antenna is hanging straight down.

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. Lap/shoulder inertia reel seat belts are provided for both front occupants and three rear seat positions.

The inertia operating mechanism of the seat belts allows the wearers to move their upper bodies to reach various controls. The seat belts lock automatically with accelerated body movement or in the event of emergency braking.

The seat belt assemblies incorporate additional safety devices. All have belt pretensioners and the front belts also have force limiters. These devices provide increased protection in the event of a severe frontal impact. The pretensioners operate in conjunction with the airbags as part of the Advanced Restraints Technology System, refer to page 56.

All passenger seat belt mechanisms incorporating an automatic locking device to allow child seat sto be secured safely, refer to Child Safety on page 66.

Beltminder

The beltminder feature is a supplemental warning to the seat belt warning function, see page 94. This feature provides additional reminders to the driver that the driver’s and/or passenger’s seat belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the seat belt warning light in the instrument cluster.

Note: Not all countries have the warning chime.

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 advised.

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 is illuminated when the driver’s seat belt is not fastened a warning signal sounds for sixty 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 the belt from its attachment to unlock it.

Front belt height adjustment

To adjust the front seat belt heights, press the locking button and slide the anchorage so that the seat belt webbing passes over the shoulder without pulling against the neck. 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.

Pregnant women

WARNING:

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

• 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.

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.

Occupant Protection

Always wear seat belts without slack or twists, since slackness 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.

Inertia reel mechanism test

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

• With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the webbing 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 webbing, then hold the tongue plate and give it a quick forward pull. The mechanism must lock automatically and prevent any further unreeling.

If a seat belt should fail any of these tests, contact your Retailer.

WARNING:

• Belts should not be worn with the straps twisted.

• Always ensure that the webbing is midway between the neck and the edge of the shoulder.

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

• 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, consistant 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.

• 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.

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

• Replacement/renewal of seat belts should be carried out by Jaguar Retailers.

Occupant Protection

Advanced Restraints Technology System (ARTS)

Airbag location

1. Front passenger air bag.

2. Driver’s air bag.

3. Curtain air bag.

4. Front seat air bag.

System sensors

The occupancy sensing, air bags and seat belt pretensioners are electrically controlled by an advanced restraints technology system.

Various sensors determine the direction and severity of an impact and the presence and position of front seat occupants. The system analyses this information then deploys only the appropriate air bags e.g. the side air bags where the impact is on that side only.

Air bags will not deploy at very low speeds or in rear impacts.

Occupant Protection

Occupancy sensing

The front passenger seat is monitored by ultra-sonic sensors, see above, and a seat weight sensor to determine the presence, weight and position of the front passenger. In certain conditions, e.g. where no passenger is present, the appropriate air bags will be de-activated. In a collision these air bags would not be deployed.

Both front air bags use a dual inflation technology which means, if activated, the bag(s) will deploy at either a normal or reduced level of inflation, depending on crash severity. Lower inflation level is also selected if the restraint system senses that the driver is too close to the steering wheel.

WARNING:

It is important that the passenger position sensors are not obscured in any way which could affect air bag deployment, e.g. fitting non-approved accessories.

The occupancy sensor operates as follows:

Passenger occupancy status

Completely empty Low weight occupant/ object Heavy occupant/ object Passenger head too close to air bag door

**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 air bag. However, if the indicator light becomes permanently illuminated when the seat is definitely empty and the seat belt is unbuckled, then contact your nearest Jaguar Retailer immediately.

• If the seat is empty and the seat belt unbuckled, the front air bag will not be activated and the AIR BAG indicator light will not be illuminated.

• If the seat is occupied by, for example, a small child or object with the seat belt buckled, the front air bag will not be activated and the AIR BAG indicator light will be illuminated.

• If the seat is occupied by a larger child or adult, the front air bag will be activated and the AIR BAG indicator light will not be illuminated.

Occupant Protection

• If the passenger adopts a posture (e.g. leaning very far forward) which could cause injury from an inflating air bag, the front passenger air bag will not be activated and the AIR BAG indicator light will be illuminated.

Note: The occupancy sensing system is designed to confirm that a front passenger is properly seated as recommended:

•

Always sit centrally in the seat, remaining in contact with the seat back which for comfort should be rearwards of the vertical position.

•

Adjust the seat to be as far back from the fascia as practical.

•

Always wear seat belts.

The seat adjustment controls are described on page 73.

Air bag de-activation indicator light

Whenever the AIR BAG indicator light on the passenger fascia is illuminated, the front passenger air bag will not be deployed in the event of an impact. Where the air bags are not deployed, protection is provided by the seat belts.

Air Bags

In order to provide optimum protection this vehicle is equipped with front and side air bags. They are used in conjunction with the seat belts to help protect occupants from upper body (thorax) and head injuries.

• The driver front air bag is located in the centre of the steering wheel.

• The front passenger air bag is located in the fascia panel immediately in front of the passenger seat.

• Thorax side air bags are fitted within the outboard bolsters of both front seats, and are identified by labels.

• A curtain air bag is fitted on each side, above the front and rear doors.

See illustration on page 56.

The AIR BAG indicator light on the passenger fascia is associated with the deployment conditions for front seat passenger air bags only.

Occupant Protection

An alert label on the front face of the driver’s and passenger’s sun visor directs you to read the warning label on the rear face of each sun visor.

The warning label contains the following statement:

WARNING:

EVEN WITH ADVANCED AIR BAGS

• Children can be killed or seriously injured by the air bag.

• The back seat is the safest place for children.

• Never put a rear facing child seat in the front.

• Always use seat belts and child restraints.

• See Owner’s Manual for more information about air bags.

WARNING:

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

• Occupants with disabilities that may require the vehicle to be modified must contact a Jaguar Retailer before any modifications are made.

• Safety experts recommend a minimum distance of at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) between an occupant's chest and a front air bag.

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

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

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

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

Occupant Protection

Air bag deployment

In order to provide maximum protection, air bags must inflate rapidly and with considerable force. There is therefore a risk of death or serious injuries such as fractures, facial and eye injuries or internal injuries, particularly to occupants who are not properly restrained by seat belts or sitting correctly when the air bag deploys.

The risk of injury from a deploying air bag is greatest close to the trim covering the air bag.

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

After air bag 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 air bag.

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.

Front protection

With a front impact of sufficient force, the restraints system will trigger the front air bag(s) and seat belt pretensioners, which immediately tighten the seat belts.

For front occupants, the seat belt then slackens with increasing chest load, allowing the head and chest to more gradually come into contact with the inflated air bag.

The air bag absorbs the remaining energy of the impact and then deflates rapidly via vent holes.

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

Where the air bags are not deployed, protection is provided by the seat belts.

Occupant Protection

Side protection

WARNING:

To ensure that the side air bags are fully effective: DO NOT sit too close to, or lean against the door trim. The side air bag 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 AIR BAG deployment, CONSULT your Jaguar Retailer prior to installing any ACCESSORIES in the upper environment/pillar trim area (e.g. HANDS-FREE TELEPHONE KITS).

The side protection system utilizes four air bags: Two mounted in the front seats, and two curtain air bags located just above the front and rear door openings under the headlining trim.

When the seat mounted thorax air bag 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 air bag inflates upon a vehicle side impact, it breaks through the headlining and deploys downwards, giving head protection to the front and rear seat occupants on the impact side.

The curtain air bag on the front passenger side is always deployed in a side impact even if the front passenger seat air bags are de-activated. This is to maintain protection for a rear occupant.

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

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

Occupant Protection

Air bag fault warning light

The air bag warning light in the driver’s 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 air bag electrical circuits. Report the fault to a Jaguar Retailer immediately. It is safe to drive the vehicle; however, in an accident the air bags may not operate.

Air bag warning light information is shown on page 95.

Air bag disposal

WARNING:

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

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

Occupant Protection

Rear Impact Protection

Both front seats have active, energy absorbent backrests which, with correctly positioned headrests, reduce the risk of neck and spinal injury (‘whiplash’) in the event of a rear impact. When activated, the seat backrests automatically move back and recline, altering the occupants’ posture and reducing relative motion between the body and head.

The degree of backrest movement in a rear collision depends on the angle, speed and nature of the colliding vehicle.

After activation, the whiplash protection mechanism will not work again and the seat must be serviced by a Jaguar Retailer to restore the protective function.

Note: The amount of backrest movement depends on the severity of the impact and for a minor collision there may be no apparent change to the seat even where the protective system has been activated. After any rear collision, therefore, the seat must always be inspected by an Authorised Retailer.

WARNING:

• For optimum protection, the driver and passenger should sit in the centre of the seat with the head as close as possible to the head restraint.

• Do not wedge objects (e.g. luggage) between the front seat backrest and the rear seat cushion.

• After a rear collision, the front seats must be inspected by a Jaguar Retailer even where there is no apparent damage or change to the seat.

• Do not attempt to service or tamper with the seat recliner mechanism.

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

Occupant Protection

Driving Position

Wrong: Unbelted and too close. Use seat belts.

If adjustable pedals fitted, move pedals towards seat.

Tilt wheel down/forwards. Correct: Belted and 10 inches

Move seat rearwards and recline back of seat.

(25.4 cm) 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 10 inches (25.4 cm) 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 2 to 3 inches (5.4 cm - 7.5 cm) from the air bag cover, sitting back 10 inches (25.4 cm) 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.

• If adjustable pedals are fitted, move them towards the seat.

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

• Recline the back of your seat one or two notches 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 air bag 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 air bag has plenty of room to deploy.

• Sit in the centre of the seat with the head as close to the head restraint as possible.

Note: Seat, steering wheel and pedal adjustment controls are described on pages 73, 77, and 79 respectively.

Child Safety

General Safety Information

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

WARNING:

• Children must be restrained by a child safety restraint that is suitable for their weight and size.

• Extreme hazard! Do not use a rearward child restraint on a seat protected by a front fascia air bag.

• DO NOT install a rearward-facing child seat in the front passenger seat position since deployment of the passenger fascia air bag 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, as shown in the illustration. 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. 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 Retailer.

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.

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.

Child Safety

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 front seats, or on the passenger seats.

WARNING:

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

• Choose a child seat that sits securely on the seat cushion and against the seat back.

Child restraint systems

Look for the following when selecting a child restraint system:

• It should have a label certifying that it meets the applicable Regulations.

• Carefully read the instructions supplied with the restraint. Be sure you understand them and can install and use the device properly and safely in the vehicle.

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 Seats

Choosing a suitable child seat

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.

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 20 lbs (9 kg) 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.

Always use the top tether to secure a forward-facing child seat where possible. (See page 71)

It is also important to consider how you plan to use the child seat. For longer journeys, a reclining seat may offer added comfort and support for a sleeping child, while a lightweight 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.

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.

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.

Child Safety

Always check that the child seat can be mounted securely in the required position: if in doubt, speak to your Jaguar Retailer.

Fitting the child seat

Passenger seats (not the driver’s) may have an automatic locking device, where fitted, for use with child seats.

If engaged, this device, where fitted, allows the belt to be retracted (tightened) but not pulled out. When used to secure a child seat, therefore, the belt will automatically lock at any point to which it has retracted.

Always use and keep the manufacturer’s fitting instructions.

The following checks should always be carried out:

• Fit the child seat in the correct position and secure with the seat belt in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

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

• Pull the seat belt all the way out to engage the locking device, where fitted.

• To fix the seat firmly, retract the belt back onto the reel; a ratchet operation will be felt as the belt retracts. Continue to pay the belt back onto the reel until it fits snugly around the child seat.

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

• 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.

Depending on the features of a particular child seat, e.g. forward or rearward-facing, engage the locking device before or after attaching the belt, as convenient.

Unbuckling the belt and releasing the child seat will allow the belt to resume its normal operation.

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

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.

Child Restraints

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.

Child Safety

• 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.

Make sure the child seat is securely fitted, and follow the check list on page 71.

LATCH child restraint system

(Lower Anchor and Tethers for CHildren)

Your vehicle is fitted with a set of LATCH brackets that allow the LATCH 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 LATCH system reduces the likelihood of incorrect fitting and is also quicker and simpler to use.

The LATCH system uses two anchorage loops and a top tether bracket fixed to the vehicle body. The LATCH 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 two trimmed apertures at the back of the rear seat cushion. Their location is highlighted by the small tag labels with a child seat graphic. The anchorage loops are located approximately 2.5 inches (6.0 cm) below each label. Pull back the side panel of the trim as indicated, see illustration on page 69, to reveal the aperture and the anchorage loops.

To ensure that the LATCH child seat is installed safely, read all the information provided in this Section.

Child Safety

Installing the LATCH seat

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

LATCH seats can only be installed in the rear outboard seating positions. If necessary, remove the headrest.

LATCH seat with anchorage legs (1)

Fit the seat as follows:

1. Push the adult seat belt buckles into their stowage recesses, to ensure they do not interfere with the fitment of the child seat.

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

3. Release the 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.

4. Position the attachment legs just in front of the trimmed apertures for the LATCH anchorage loops (see previous diagram). Press in the locking button (A) on one of the anchorage legs and push the anchorage leg through the trimmed aperture to engage with the vehicle’s anchorage loop. There should be an audible ‘click’.

5. Repeat Step 4 for the seat’s second anchorage leg.

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

7. Attach the top tether, refer to the following section.

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

Child Safety

LATCH seat with tether straps (2)

(See illustration on previous page)

Clip the flexible lower straps to the two LATCH loops. Adjust the length of each strap until the seat is held firmly against the vehicle back.

WARNING:

The top tether must always be used to secure the LATCH child seat. Refer to the following Section.

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 each rear seating position.

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 additional check list on page 72.

WARNING:

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

Removing the LATCH seat

To remove the LATCH child seat, press the locking button on each side of the seat to release anchorage legs. Undo the top tether strap and lift the child seat from the vehicle.

Child Restraint Check List

General 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.

Child Safety

• Make sure your child falls into the correct weight range for the seat.

• 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.

• 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, refer to page 37.

• 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.

• Ensure that you have removed all slack from the adult seat belt (non LATCH restraint only).

Additional checks for LATCH child restraints

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

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

Seats

Seat Adjustment

WARNING:

• Do not make adjustments when the vehicle is moving.

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

Front seat adjustment

The front seats are adjusted electrically by switches on the side of the seat cushion. Adjustment can be made with or without the ignition key inserted.

The number of seat adjustments varies with the vehicle specification but all options are described in this section. If a seat movement is not specified for your vehicle, the control switch will either not be fitted or will not include that seat function (switch movement will be inhibited).

Seat adjustments for two people may be stored and recalled by the driver position memory system. Refer to Memory Setting on page 84.

The full range of seat adjustments are:

Backrest angle (recline) and, if specified, headrest height (A):

Seat fore and aft position and , if specified, cushion height and front tilt (B):

• Move the switch forward or rearward to change the seat fore and aft position.

• Move the centre or rear of the switch up or down to adjust cushion height.

• Move the front of the switch up or down to tilt the front of the cushion.

Steering Column

Steering Column Adjustment

WARNING:

Do not adjust the steering column whilst driving.

Caution: Do not use steering wheel mounted security devices since movement of the steering wheel in entry/exit mode could result in damage to the vehicle (e.g. the windscreen) or possible injury to the occupant.

The steering column can be adjusted for tilt and reach by operating the rotary/ joystick control switch (A) on the left side of the steering column.

1. Turn the switch to the ‘COLUMN’ or

‘AUTO’ position.

2. Move the switch forwards or

backwards to adjust reach.

3. Move the switch up or down to adjust

tilt.

Two column positions may be stored and recalled by the driver position memory system, refer to Memory Setting on page 84.

Entry/exit mode

Entry/exit mode provides automatic movement of the steering column and driver’s seat to allow easier entry to or exit from the vehicle.

Entry/exit mode is selected by setting the steering column adjustment switch to the ‘AUTO’ position (B).

Exit - If the ignition key is in position ‘0’ or position ‘I’ and the driver’s door is opened or if the ignition key is removed, the steering column will move to the uppermost tilt position (unless already in that position) and the seat will move slightly rearwards and/or downwards, depending on its current position.

Steering Column

Entry - When the key is next inserted in

the ignition switch and the door is closed, the steering column and seat will return to their previous positions. If, however, the memorised driver position has been changed (using the door MEMORY switch or another key transmitter), the steering wheel and seat will move to the new position.

Notes on entry/exit mode operation

• If the adjustment switch is moved away from ‘AUTO’ whilst the steering column is tilted away, the steering column will move back to its memorised position when the key is next inserted in the ignition and entry/exit mode is then cancelled.

• If the adjustment switch is moved during entry/exit operation, steering column movement will stop.

Pedal Controls

Pedal Adjustment

(Where fitted)

WARNING:

Do not adjust the pedals whilst driving.

This optional facility enables the pedals to be moved towards or away from the driver’s seat, providing extra adjustment for the driving position. All pedals move together (no individual pedal adjustment) and are electrically controlled from the combined steering column/pedal adjust switch on the left side of the steering column housing. The adjustment can be made with or without the ignition key inserted.

To adjust the position of the pedals, turn the switch to ‘PEDALS’, then push it forwards or rearwards to cause a corresponding movement of the pedal assembly.

Two pedal positions may be stored and recalled by the driver position memory system, refer to Memory Setting on page 84.

Door Windows

Window Operation

The front and rear door windows are electrically operated.

Switches on the driver’s door control all door windows.

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

These switches will only operate the windows when the ignition switch is in position ‘I’ or ‘II’ or for up to 10 minutes when the ignition switch is moved to position ‘0’ (key in or out) so long as the driver’s and front passenger’s doors remain closed.

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.

Raise/lower

To lower a window, press and hold the rear of the switch until the desired position is reached, then release.

To raise a window, press and hold the front of the switch until the desired position is reached, then release.

If the switches are held for longer than six 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.

Press the switch briefly to close or open the window in one movement. Window travel can be stopped at any time by pressing the switch again.

Immobilising the rear windows

The rear windows can be immobilised from the driver’s door controls to prevent passengers from operating their windows.

To immobilise the rear windows, press button (1) down to the latched position i.e. flush with the bezel.

To enable rear window operation, press button (1) again so that it is in the raised position with the white band showing.

Door Windows

Window Anti-trap Protection

Each electrically operated window has an anti-trap protection feature. If the upward movement of the window detects an obstacle the anti-trap system 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 system must be reset.

To reset the electrically operated windows anti-trap system

• 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.

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 de-activate window operation for a short period to avoid overheating of the window motors.

To override 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.

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.

The mirror housings are designed to pivot against the vehicle upon impact. To return the mirror to its normal position, manually reposition the housing until it locks into place.

Door mirrors – power foldback (Where fitted)

To assist parking by reducing the overall vehicle width, an optional facility enables the door mirrors to be folded back.

Set mirror selector switch (2) to the centre position.

To fold the mirrors inwards, briefly press the rear of button (1). Press the rear of button (1) again to return 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 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.

Caution: If door mirrors have been folded against the vehicle due to an impact:

• Reposition power foldback mirrors using the door switches.

• Reposition non-power foldback mirrors manually.

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.

Mirrors

Electrochromic door mirrors

Electrochromic door mirrors are only fitted together with an electrochromic rear view interior mirror. The switches on the interior mirror control the electrochromic function for both door and interior mirrors (see following section).

Note: The right-hand mirror is convex, providing a wider field of vision. As a result, objects viewed in the mirror are closer than they appear.

Interior Rear View Mirror

Interior mirrors are either the manual dip or electrochromic type.

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 change the mirror height and lateral position.

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

Interior rear view mirror – electrochromic

(Where fitted)

The interior rear view mirror is of the electrochromic type, and is operated automatically when the ignition switch is turned on.

The mirror darkens automatically to prevent glare from a following vehicle’s headlights, and clears when light levels return to normal or when reverse gear is selected.

Where electrochromic door mirrors are fitted, they are operated automatically in conjunction with the interior mirror, when the ignition switch is turned on.

Note:

•

Should a mirror assembly become detached from the windscreen, it must be refitted by a Jaguar Retailer.

•

Ensure that the windscreen in front of the mirror is kept clean. Where fitted, the moisture sensor for wiper operation is located to the front of the mirror casing. Any dirt may affect the operation of this sensor.

Driving Position Memory

Memory Setting

This optional facility enables the position of the driver’s seat, steering column, pedals and exterior rear view mirrors to be memorised and recalled. Two different driving position profiles can be entered in the memory.

A key does not have to be in the ignition switch for seat, mirror, steering column or pedals adjustments, nor for memory setting.

Setting a driving position

To store a driving position in the memory:

1. Adjust the seat, steering column, pedals and exterior rear view mirrors to the desired positions.

2. Push the MEMORY button (A) and the red LED in the switchpack will illuminate for a five second period.

3. While the red LED is illuminated, push button ‘1’, or ‘2’ to memorise the configuration. The LED will go out and a chime will indicate that the setting procedure is complete. Additionally, if the ignition is on (position ‘II’), the message centre will display a message that the settings have been saved.

By repeating these three steps and pressing the unused button (‘1’ or ‘2’), a further driving position can be stored in the memory.

To set a new driving position, adjust to the desired position and perform steps 2 and

3. The previous memory will be erased and the new position will be set.

Recalling a memorised position from the door switchpack

The gear selector lever in automatic transmission vehicles must be in ‘P’, and for manual transmission vehicles the parkbrake must be applied.

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

Memory recall using a key transmitter

The key transmitter will recall a memory position when the unlock button is pressed when set as follows:

1. Adjust the seat, steering column, pedals and exterior rear view mirrors to the desired positions.

2. Press the MEMORY button: The red LED will illuminate for a five second period.

3. Press any button on the key transmitter and then press button ‘1’ or ‘2’. Both button presses must occur while the red LED is illuminated.

4. Repeat for the other transmitter, pressing the remaining memory button.

Driving Position Memory

To cancel key transmitter memory recall:

1. Press the MEMORY button: The red LED will illuminate for a five second period.

2. Press any button on the key transmitter (except the panic button) then press the MEMORY button again. Both button presses must occur while the red LED is illuminated.

Driving position memory system operating tips

• When making adjustments to a set driving position, reset the new position in the same memory channel.

• A driving position will only be memorised during the five second period when the red memory LED is illuminated.

• Previous memory is erased when a new driving position is entered.

• Ensure that that the seat has completed moving into the required memory position before shifting the gear selector from the ‘P’ position, or in the case of manual transmission, releasing the parkbrake.

• If the seat memory does not recall correctly, the seat may require to be recalibrated. This may be due to an interruption in the electrical supply. To recalibrate the seat it should be powered fully forwards and backwards and fully upwards and downwards.

Luggage Compartment

Luggage Tie-Down Loops

WARNING:

• Locate heavy loads in the luggage compartment towards the front of the vehicle and secure them to stop them sliding. Loose items can be a hazard.

• Do not drive with the luggage compartment lid open as exhaust fumes can be drawn into the passenger compartment.

These loops are not to be used for securing passengers or animals nor as anchorages for child restraints.

A range of Jaguar storage accessories, including a luggage retaining net, are available from your Retailer.

It is advisable to distribute luggage weight evenly over the entire luggage floor area, particularly to prevent permanent damage to the seat trim when a seat has been folded down.

Four metal loops are positioned in the luggage compartment for attaching straps to secure loads and prevent them from sliding over the luggage floor.

Luggage Compartment

Rear Seat Back Fold Down

Ensure when folding the seat back down that the armrest is stowed and that there is sufficient clearance between the seat back, including the headrest, and the back of the front seat.

When returning the seat back to the upright position ensure that the seat belts are routed correctly and are not trapped by the seat back. Press the seat back firmly and check that it is locked securely into place.

To provide a longer luggage compartment area, the backs of the rear seat on most models can be folded down in two parts to give a 60/40 width split.

Release handles for each seat back are in the luggage compartment under the parcel shelf.

Pull the selected side handle to release the seat back and then fold it onto the seat cushion.

Luggage Compartment

Ski Hatch

A two-door hatch is fitted to the rear seat on some models, providing an opening between the passenger and luggage compartments. This allows space for skis or similar objects to be stowed in the vehicle. Both doors have a single catch.

The inner door is accessible after folding down the armrest. To open the door, pull the leather flap forward, press the catch (1) downwards and gently lower the door on to the armrest.

A bag for retaining the skis can now be pulled from the receptacle into the passenger compartment, and the strap (3) loosened ready to accept the skis.

The other door is accessible from inside the luggage compartment and is opened by pushing the catch (2) and lowering the door.

Push the skis into the bag from the luggage compartment and then secure the skis using the strap provided on the bag. Clip the strap connector (4) to the centre rear seat belt buckle.

Instrument Panel

Instruments

None of the instruments will show correct indications until the ignition is switched ON (position ‘II’).

1. Engine temperature.

2. Tachometer .

3. Speedometer.

4. Fuel level gauge.

5. Message centre/Clock display.

6. Message centre/Odometer.

Engine Temperature (1)

Drive at moderate road and engine speeds until normal operating temperature is reached. This is indicated when the pointer is between the blue (cold) segment and the red (hot) segment.

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.

WARNING:

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

• 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.

• 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.

Instruments

Should the pointer move into the red segment (H) of the coolant gauge a RED priority light within the temperature gauge is displayed. Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safely possible, turn off the engine and open the hood to allow the engine to cool.

Note: 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’.

Tachometer (2)

The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute and is calibrated in increments of 250.

The scale extends to 8000 rev/min.

Caution: Do not allow the needle to enter the red sector.

Speedometer (3)

Speed indication is in either:

USA - miles per hour, the outer figures, and kilometres per hour on the inner ring.

Canada and Mexico - kilometres per hour, the outer figures, and miles per hour on the inner ring.

Fuel Level Gauge (4)

Indicates the amount of fuel in the tank.

An amber warning light is displayed within the fuel gauge when the fuel in the tank is at a low level and should be refilled.

The small arrow, shown beside the fuel pump symbol, identifies on which side of the vehicle the filler cap is located.

Message Centre/Clock Display (5)

The clock is permanently displayed on the bottom line of the speedometer message centre. To set the clock time refer to page 76.

Message Centre/Odometer (6)

Records the total distance covered by the vehicle. The kilometre/mileage reading is displayed on the bottom line of the tachometer message centre.

Warning Lights

Priority Lights

Warning lights are arranged within the instrument cluster.

There are two warning lights, one red, the other amber, located within the tachometer above the message centre.

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

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

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

Light Check

A light check is initiated when the ignition is switched ON and lasts for three seconds (excepting the airbag warning light which will remain ON for six 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.

Low Oil Pressure (Red)

This lights up with the ignition switched ON and should go out once the engine is running.

If the light remains ON once the engine has started or comes ON whilst driving, 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, refer to page 198.

Charge Indicator (Red)

Lights up when the ignition is ON and should go out when the engine is running.

If the light stays ON when the engine is running it indicates that there is either a battery voltage fault or an generator fault.

Turn OFF all electrical accessories, radio, climate control, rear screen heater etc. Try to use the minimum electrical load as possible such as power windows, electric sunroof etc.

Report the fault to a Jaguar Retailer.

Warning Lights

Seat Belt (Red)
