Description and Operation
Front Seat Belts

Each front seat belt has three anchorage points, and a height adjuster installed in each 'B' post provides four shoulder strap
positions. The belts are left and right ha nded and have plastic moulding on the r unning loop and tongue. A pyrotechnic pre-
tensioning device installed at the lower mounting point in each 'B' post, removes excess slack from the seat belt in the event
of a heavy frontal impact.
Rear Seat Belts

A standard inertia reel type belt is installed at each rear seat position. Each of these belts has three anchorage points. The
lower end of each outer belt is bolted to the front lower section of the inner wheelarch, whilst the lower end of the centre
belt is bolted to the seat pan. All thr ee inertia reel assemblies are bolted to the upper section of the squab panel. Two
buckle assemblies serving the three belts, are each bolted to the seat pan. A cable mounted single buckle provides for
fastening of the RH outer belt and a twin buckle assembly mounted on two cables serves the centre and LH outer belts.

Body Structure
Introduction
The standard wheelbase Jaguar sedan has a unit construction monocoque body structure with bolt-on front fenders and
welded rear fenders. The doors feature lif t-off hinges and welded drop-glass frames.
Constructional Steel Classification
BODY ALIGNMENT
The Body Dimensions Plan, and Body Dimensions Side View, provide specified BIW dimensions to facilitate damage
assessment and location of replacemen t parts. These dimensions must be strictly applied when used for damage
assessment, component location or post repair verification.
• NOTE: The right-hand side is always looking towards the front, from the rear of the vehicle.
The nominated plan view master datums are on the right-hand side of the body with the left-hand datums dimensioned
from them. Right-hand datums must therefore be known to be correct before any other cross-car dimensions are checked.
Datum location, Example
The Front Master Datum (front crossmember rear mounting at the inner face of the main floor RH longitudinal) is nominally
359,5mm to the right-hand side of the body center line. The LH side fron t datum is measured 717,0 / 721,0mm from the
RH. Refer to the Body Dimensions Plan.
Expressed as a true posi tion in three planes, the front master datum is:
Standard Wheelbase Bo dy Dimensions-Plan
MaterialApplication

(HLSA).Impact prone areas, ie. seat frame and bumper mountings.
Double sided zinc plated mild steel.Exterior body panels subject to severe cond itions such as stone chipping and weather
exposure (excluding roof panel).

Y 359,5 Z -50,0

Panels centered between two adjacent panels must have equal gaps on either side. For exceptions to this, refer to the
appropriate specification. Gaps between ad jacent panels or components must not expose harnesses, labels, brackets or
visually poor joint or assembly conditions.
• NOTE: Sliding roof panel clearances are specified without the edge seal installed.
Areas of particular concern are, fuel filler flap, trunk lid to fenders and saddle panels, hood to fenders, grill and headlamps,
sliding roof to main roof panel, door gaps at fenders, B\C posts, roof drip rail an d rocker panel, and bumper cover to fenders
and cross car assemblies
Alignment
Panels must be correctly profiled to maintain cosmetic appearance, and ensure co rrect seating of seals with minimal wind
noise. Areas of particular concern are hood to fenders, trunk lid to fenders and saddle panels, doors to apertures, doors to
fenders and adjacent doors and relationship of the sliding roof panel leading and trailing edges to the main roof panel.
Exterior Fitments
Bezels, trims and lamps must be concentric with apertu res and have equal clearances with adjacent panels.
Areas of particular concern are headlamp to hood, fender and trim panel, exhaust tailpipe trim to bumper cover cut-out,
rear lamp assembly to trunk lid, fender and bumper cover trim, and side feature lines including body side mouldings, fender
to door and door to door.
