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.

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.
24
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.
25
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.
26
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.
27
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.
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.

Vehicle Security
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

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

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

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

WARNING:
The manufacturer is not responsible
for any radio or TV interference caused
by unauthorised modifications to this
equipment. Such modifications could
void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
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.
53
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.
54
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.

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.
56
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

**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

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.
58
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.
59
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.
60
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.
61
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.
62
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
!
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
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.
66
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.
67
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.
68
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.
69
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.
70
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.
71
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

•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.

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.
77
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.

Door Windows
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.

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.
