UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE

Entering the vehicle

To prevent accidental or unauthorized operation, never leave children or animals unattended in the vehicle. The vehicle can be operated when the Smart Key is inside the vehicle.

Note: There are two designs of Smart Key, refer to the information which is relevant to the design of Smart Key supplied with the vehicle.

1. Press the lock button to secure the vehicle.

The vehicle can be Single or Double locked. See 11, SINGLE LOCKING and 11,

DOUBLE LOCKING

2. Your vehicle can be unlocked using either

Single or Multi-point entry.

When single point entry is enabled, the first press unlocks the driver's door and enables the other doors to be opened from the inside. The hazard warning lamps will flash twice to indicate that the vehicle is unlocked and the alarm has been disarmed. A second press unlocks the passenger doors and the luggage compartment.

If multi-point entry is enabled, press briefly to unlock all the doors and luggage compartment and to disarm the alarm. The hazard warning lamps will flash twice to indicate that the vehicle is unlocked and the alarm has been disarmed.

To change from Single to Multi-point entry (or vice versa), press both the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously for three seconds. The hazard warning lamps will flash twice to confirm the change.

The change can also be achieved using the instrument panel menu.

3. Press to open the luggage compartment.

The vehicle security system will remain active for the period the luggage compartment is open but the intrusion and inclination sensing systems will be inhibited. Door and bonnet security will remain active.

The security system will re-arm to its previous state when the luggage compartment is closed.

4. Panic alarm. Press and hold for three

seconds, or press three times within three seconds, to activate the horn, siren and hazard lamps.

Entering the vehicle

After five seconds, the alarm can be cancelled by pressing the panic alarm button for three seconds or by pressing the button three times within three seconds.

The emergency alarm will also be cancelled if the vehicle detects a valid Jaguar Smart Key when the START/STOP button is pressed.

5. Press to switch on the approach

illumination for up to 120 seconds. The illumination time is set using the exit delay switch. Pressing the button again or operating the starter button will turn the approach lamps off.

6. Emergency key blade release button.

The vehicle can be unlocked as follow:

Insert the key blade into the exposed lock to operate.

To lock: Ensure all the doors are closed, then turn the key blade towards the front of the vehicle and release. This will lock all doors but will not arm the alarm.

If the Smart Key fails to operate, Smart Key Not Found- Refer to Handbook is displayed in the message centre. Whilst the warning is displayed, hold the smart key close to the auxiliary switch pack in the position shown.

Entering the vehicle

KEYLESS ENTRY

Any person fitted with an implanted medical device should ensure that the device is kept at a distance of at least 22 cm (8.7 inches) away from any transmitter mounted in the vehicle. This is to avoid any possibility of interference between the system and device.

For information concerning the locations of the security system transmitters, see 173, REMOTE KEY FOB TRANSMITTER LOCATIONS.

If a remote control is lost, a replacement can be obtained and reprogrammed to the vehicle by a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer. Notify a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer as soon as a remote control is lost or stolen and have the remaining remote control(s) reprogrammed.

Keyless entry allows the vehicle to be unlocked and disarmed by simply operating the door handle, provided the Jaguar Smart Key is within 1.0 m (3 feet).

The Smart Key needs only to be on the driver’s person; it does not need to be exposed or handled.

The Smart Key may not be detected if it is placed within a metal container or if it is shielded by a device with a back-lit LCD screen, such as a smart phone, laptop (including laptop bag), games console etc. Keep the Smart Key clear of such devices when attempting Keyless entry or Keyless starting.

Note: Keyless entry will unlock the vehicle in accordance with the current security setting (Single-point or Multi-point entry). However, if Single-point entry is the current setting and a door other than the driver’s door is opened first, all doors will unlock.

When all open doors have been closed, the system will search the vehicle interior for a valid Smart Key. If one is not detected, Smart Key Not Found Place As Shown will be displayed in the message centre. Find the Smart Key and place it against the fascia, below the auxiliary switch pack, as shown previously.

The security system fitted to your vehicle is Thatcham category 1 approved, and meets EU regulations 97/116 and EU directive 95/56 EC.

GLOBAL OPENING

Press and hold the unlock button for three seconds. The vehicle will unlock and the alarm will be disarmed immediately. After three seconds, all of the windows will open. This feature can be enabled/disabled via the instrument panel menu.

DRIVE-AWAY LOCKING

Locks all the doors when the vehicle exceeds 8 km/h (5 mph). Use of the central locking/ unlocking buttons (see 206, DRIVER CONTROLS) will override the drive-away locking feature for the rest of a journey.

If a door is individually unlocked and opened, all doors will relock when the open door is subsequently closed.

Entering the vehicle

Note: Drive-away locking can be enabled/ disabled via the Vehicle Set-up area of the instrument panel menu.

CONVENIENCE MODE

When the door is opened using either the Jaguar Smart Key or keyless entry, the vehicle's electrical system initiates the convenience mode. The following systems become functional:

• Driver position memory.

• Seat and steering column adjustment.

• Interior and exterior lighting.

• Message centre.

• Auxiliary power socket.

REMOTE KEY FOB CARE

To prevent accidental operation, which may result in an injury, never leave the Jaguar Smart Key in the vehicle if children or animals are also left in the vehicle.

Do not expose to extremes of heat, dust, humidity or allow contact with fluids. Do not leave the transmitter exposed to direct sunlight.

The emergency key blade number is recorded on an attached label. Peel off the label and attach it to the designated area on the Security Card, supplied in the literature pack. Keep the Security Card safe, but not in the vehicle.

The operational range of the Jaguar Smart Key will vary considerably depending on atmospheric conditions and interference from other transmitting devices.

Occupant safety

USING SEAT BELTS AND CHILD SAFETY LOCKS

Occupant safety

1. If children are to be carried in the rear seat positions, it is recommended that the rear door interior handles are disabled. To change the child lock settings:-

• Open the door to access the child

safety lock.

• Insert the emergency key into the slot

and rotate a quarter of a turn, to enable or disable the interior door handle, as required.

2. To install an ISOFIX child seat (not Australia):-

• Raise the head restraint on the relevant

seat.

• Locate the lower anchor bars which are

accessible through the gap between the seat back and seat base. Insert the protective guides supplied with the child seat as shown. The insertion positions for the guides are identified by the ISOFIX labels.

• Slide the child seat locking mechanism

into the protective sleeves and onto the anchor bars.

• Test the security of the child restraint.

To do this, attempt to pull the restraint away from the vehicle seat and twist the restraint from side to side. Even if the restraint appears secure you should always check the anchor points visually to ensure correct attachment.

Note: Always ensure that if an upper tether is provided, it is fitted and tightened correctly.

3. To adjust the seat belt height:-

• Press to release the catch.

• With the catch depressed slide the

mechanism up or down to the required height. Release the catch and ensure the locking mechanism has engaged.

The use of comfort clips or devices that would create slack in the seat belt system, is not advised.

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.

4. Draw the belt out smoothly, ensure that the

belt height, the seat, and your position on the seat are correct.

Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.

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

Belts should not be worn with the straps twisted.

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

The occupants of the front seats should not travel with the seat back at more than 30 degrees from upright. Doing so will reduce the protection afforded by the seat belt.

Occupant safety

Never place anything between you and the seat belt in an attempt to cushion the impact in the event of an accident.

5. With the seat belt correctly positioned,

place the metal tongue into the buckle nearest to you. Press it in until a click is heard. Ensure that all slack has been taken up by the retractor and the belt fits tightly across the hips.

Note: When releasing the seat belt it is advisable to hold the belt before pressing the release button. This will prevent the belt from retracting too quickly.

To release the seat belt, press the red button.

6. Use of seat belts during pregnancy:

Position the lap strap comfortably across the hips beneath the abdomen. Place the diagonal part of the seat belt between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen.

Position the seat belt correctly for the safety of the mother and unborn child. Never wear just the lap strap, and never sit on the lap strap whilst using just the shoulder strap.

Never place anything between you and the seat belt. It can be dangerous and reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt in preventing injury.

Ensure that the seat belt is not slack or twisted.

7. Tether strap anchorages. See 28, INSTALLING TETHER ANCHORAGE CHILD RESTRAINTS.

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

If a child seat or restraint system is to be fitted to the centre seating position, the centre armrest must be in the stowed position (folded into the seat).

Note: A tether anchorage is provided for the centre seat position. Do not use this anchor position with an ISOFIX child seat.

SEAT BELT SAFETY

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.

Do not carry hard, fragile or sharp items between your person and the seat belt.

Seat belts should be worn by all vehicle occupants, for every journey, no matter how short.

When using seat belts to restrain items other than occupants, take care to ensure that the belts are not damaged, or exposed to sharp edges.

Occupant safety

The use of comfort clips, or devices that would create slackness in the seat belt system, is not advised.

SEAT BELT CHECKS

Note: If the vehicle is parked on an incline, the seat belt mechanism may lock. This is a safety feature and the belt should be gently eased out from the upper anchorage.

The seat belts should be inspected regularly to check for fraying, cuts or wear to the webbing, and the condition and security of the mechanism, buckles, adjusters, and mounting points.

• 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 seat belt to the limit of its travel. Check that it unreels smoothly with no snatches or snags. Allow the belt to fully retract, again checking for smooth operation.

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

If any of the seat belts fail to meet those criteria, immediately contact your Dealer/ Authorised Repairer.

SEAT BELT WARNING LAMP

The warning lamp in the instrument panel stays illuminated when the driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt is not fastened (if the passenger seat is occupied). The lamp should extinguish when the seat belt is fastened.

The warning lamp will also flash in conjunction with the Beltminder warning chime.

BELTMINDER

A front and rear seat Beltminder system warns the driver when the seat belt of an occupied seat is not fastened or is unfastened during a journey.

A graphic in the message centre indicates which seat belts are fastened at the start of a journey and also when a seat belt is fastened or unfastened during a journey.

Each seating position is represented by a passenger icon, the colour of which indicates the seat belt status:

• No colour - seat belt not fastened.

• Green - seat belt fastened.

• Red - driver’s or occupied front seat

passenger’s seat belt is not fastened or is unfastened during a journey.

In addition, an audible warning will sound under the following conditions:

• The driver’s or occupied front seat passenger’s seat belt is not fastened or is unfastened during a journey.

• A rear seat belt is unfastened.

Note: If a heavy object is placed on the front passenger seat, it may activate the Beltminder feature. It is recommended that the object be placed in the luggage compartment or secured using the seat belt.

Occupant safety

Note: Although not advisable, it is possible to disable the Beltminder function. Please see your Dealer/Authorised Repairer to disable or re-instate the function.

CHILD SEATS

For optimum safety, children should travel in the rear of the vehicle at all times; front passenger seat travel is not recommended. However, if it is essential that a child travels in the front, set the vehicle seat fully rearward and seat the child in an approved forward-facing child seat. Do not use a rear-facing child seat - an inflating airbag could impact with the seat and cause serious injury.

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

Do not allow a baby or infant to be held or carried on the lap. The force of a crash can increase effective body weight by as much as thirty times, making it impossible to hold onto the child.

Children typically require the use of a booster seat appropriate to their age and size, thereby enabling the seat belts to be properly fitted, reducing the risk of injury in a crash. Children could be endangered in a crash if their child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle.

Do not use a child seat that hooks over the seat back. This type of seat cannot be satisfactorily secured and is unlikely to be safe for your child.

The seat belts fitted to your vehicle are designed for adults and larger children. It is very important for all infants and children under 12 years of age to be restrained in a suitable child safety seat appropriate to their age and size.

If it is essential that a child travels in the front passenger seat (and national legislation permits this), Jaguar recommends that the following preparations are made before fitting the child restraint.

• Adjust the front passenger seat fully rearwards.

• Adjust the lumbar support to its minimum support position.

• Adjust the seat cushion to its highest position. If cushion front tilt adjustment is possible, adjust it to its lowest position.

• Adjust the seat back to the fully upright position.

• Adjust the seat belt adjustable upper anchorage to its lowest position.

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

This symbol, affixed to the end of the fascia on the passenger side, warns against the use of a rear-facing child seat in the front passenger seat, when a front passenger airbag is fitted and operational.

CHILD RESTRAINT CHECK LIST

Every time a child travels in the vehicle observe the following:-

• Use appropriate child restraints.

• Carefully follow the restraint system

manufacturers instructions.

• Adjust the harnesses for every child on every trip.

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

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

• Always check the security of the child restraint.

• Do not dress a child in bulky clothing, or place any objects/padding between the child and the restraint.

• Regularly check the fit and condition of child restraints. If the fit is poor, or wear/damage is visible replace the restraint immediately.

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

* Jaguar recommend that the front passenger seat be positioned fully rearward, with the cushion adjusted to the highest position when installing child restraints.

Note: Ages given are approximate. In case of doubt, the child’s weight, not age, should be used when considering an appropriate child seat.

BOOSTER CUSHIONS

In a situation where a child is too large to fit into a child safety seat, but is still too small to safely fit the three point belt properly, a booster seat is recommended for maximum safety. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for fitting and use, then adjust the seat belt to suit.

INSTALLING TETHER ANCHORAGE CHILD RESTRAINTS

1. Install the child restraint securely in one of

the rear seating positions.

2. Pass the tether strap over the seat back and

beneath the head restraint.

3. Attach the tether strap hook to the tether

anchor point on the back of the seat. Ensure that the tether strap hook is facing the correct way. See 22, USING SEAT

BELTS AND CHILD SAFETY LOCKS.

4. Tighten the tether strap according to the

manufacturer's instructions.

If the restraint is not correctly anchored, there is a significant risk of injury to the child in the event of a collision or emergency braking.

If removing the centre head restraint in order to fit a child restraint, always secure the head restraint when storing it.

Both of the outer rear seat positions are equipped to accept ISOFIX restraints.

This symbol is shown on a label sewn into the seats to indicate the position of the ISOFIX lower anchorages.

ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS (not Australia)

Do not attempt to fit ISOFIX restraints to the centre rear seating position. The anchor bars are not designed to hold an ISOFIX restraint in this position.

AIRBAGS AND ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS

1. Airbag warning information is printed on

the driver and passenger sun visors.

2. Both front seats are equipped with Active

Head Restraints (AHR) which reduce the risk of neck and spinal injury (whiplash) in the event of a rear impact by moving the head restraint upwards and forwards, supporting the occupant’s head.

After activation, the whiplash protection mechanism resets automatically and does not need to be replaced.

3. The curtain airbags may deflate at a slower

rate than the front or side airbags, to afford prolonged protection.

4. Seat mounted side airbags.

5. Front passenger airbag.

6. Driver’s airbag.

Note: The general location of airbags fitted to the vehicle are marked by the word AIRBAG.

Always contact your Dealer/Authorised Repairer if:

• An airbag inflates.
