1 - 8 Owner Information
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.
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 interval s 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.
Failure to perform regular maintenance at
the correct interval may void the factory
warranty.
USA and Canada
Jaguar Retailers will arrange for
appointments on a mileage/kilometre 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
Record and Warranty Book. This booklet
not only contains a record of vital
information, but also information about
warranty and a change of ownership
card.
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.

Security and Locks 2 - 5
Note:
1. The key transmitter may not operate correctly in areas which are subject to
interference from other radio
equipment operating on the same
frequency. Interference may emanate
from sources such as amateur radio,
telecommunications devices, medical
equipment, and other remote controls
or alarms. Where such interference is
experienced operate the key
transmitter as close as possible to the
vehicle, or use the key in the drivers
door lock.
2. All buttons on the key transmitter will not operate if a key is in the ignition
switch, however, if the doors, hood or
luggage compartment are open, only
button ( D) will not operate.
Each integrated key will operate all the
locks on your vehicle.
Additional integrated key transmitters
can be ordered from your Jaguar Retailer.
See Additional keys on page 2 - 7. Care of key transmitters
The key transmitters must be treated with
care. Do not expose to extremes of heat,
dust, humidity or fluids. Do not leave the
transmitter exposed to direct sunlight.
The battery is the only serviceable part.
Caution: Should a key transmitter be
lost, a new one can be obtained and
programmed to the vehicle by a
Jaguar Retailer, who will ask for proof
of vehicle ownership. It is advisable
to notify a Retailer as soon as a key
transmitter is lost or stolen and have
the remaining key transmitter(s)
reprogrammed. This will then
prevent the lost or stolen key
transmitter from being used to
disarm and unlock the vehicle.
Note:
Retailers keep a log of all enquiries
for replacement keys and notify
Jaguar Cars Ltd. of any such requests.
Radio Frequency
The radio frequency remote system
operates on a frequency subject to USA
Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) rules.
The device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC rules and RSS–210 of the Industry
Canada. Operation is subject to the two following
conditions:
1. The device may not cause harmful
interference.
2. This device mu st accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
The key transmitter radio frequency
approval numbers for the USA and
Canada are as shown below:
USA – NHVWB1U241.
Canada – 3495 103 2304.
Note: The manufacturer is not
responsible for any radio interference or
TV interference caused by unauthorised
modifications to this equipment. Changes
or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
Caution: The key-ring transmitter
may suffer interference from other
legal users of this radio frequency
band, such as radio amateurs,
medical equipment, remote controls
or alarm systems. To lock or unlock

operate the transmitter as close to the
security antenna as possible.

Security and Locks 2 - 17
Security Features
The security system has been designed
for:
• Prevention of theft of the vehicle.
• Prevention of theft of items from the vehicle.
• Personal security.
The security system is integrated with the
vehicle electronics and engine
management systems making it far more
difficult for a thief to penetrate and steal
the vehicle.
Panic Alarm (if enabled)
When in or near the vehicle, the alarm
can be set off to dete r a possible offender.
For this feature to operate, the key must
not be in the ignition switch.
Pressing the headlamp convenience/panic
button on the key transmitter three times
within three seconds will activate the
‘Panic Alarm’.
The alarm is stopped by:
• Putting the key into the ignition switch and turning to position ‘II’.
Note:
1. The key transmitter cannot be used to cancel the Panic alarm. This prevents
unauthorised cancellation in an
emergency.
2. The panic alarm is normally enabled. If required, this feature can be
disabled or enabled by a Jaguar
Retailer.
3. The vehicle locking status will not change when the panic alarm is
activated.
Passive Arming (Retailer
Option)
Passive arming wi ll not lock the
doors, it only arms the security alarm
system.
Passive arming, if enabled by a Jaguar
Retailer, will automatically arm the
vehicle alarm system 30 seconds after the
last protected entry (door, luggage
compartment) is closed following the key
being removed from th e ignition switch.
When passive arming occurs the direction
indicators will flash once and a single
tone will be heard (if enabled). The red
security light on the fascia will start to
flash and will continue for as long as the
alarm is armed.
Opening the drivers door causes a
warning sound which continues for
15 seconds before the system goes into
the full alarm state. If any other door is
opened before the drivers door,
the system goes into the full alarm state
immediately.
When the system is pa ssively armed and a
key is used to open the trunk, a seven
second warning audible ticking will
sound before the full alarm is activated.

Seats
!WARNING:
1. Do not make adjustments when the vehicle is moving.
2. Front passengers must not ride with the seat fully reclined.
All seats, except the rear bench type,
are adjusted electrically by switches on
the side of the seat cushion. Adjustment
can be made with or without the ignition
key inserted.
Three different positions can be stored
and recalled by a memory system for
each seat. (Steering wheel, pedals and
door mirrors positions are also
memorised for the driver.) See Memory
Setting on page 3 - 31.
Note: It is advisable to move the seat to
the correct position in relation to the gear
lever and front and side vision before
adjusting the steering column, pedals,
mirrors and seat belt.
Front Seat Adjustment
Note: The full range of front seat
adjustments are: (
A ) – Backrest angle (recline) and headrest
height.
( B ) – Seat fore and aft position; cushion
height and front tilt:
• 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.
( C ) – Provides adjustable lumbar support
in the lower backrest. Either a 2-way or
4-way switch may be fitted:
• 2-way or 4-way switch: Press the
front or back of the switch to
increase/decrease lumbar support.
• 4-way switch only: Press the top of
the switch to increase higher lumbar,
decreasing lower lumbar support.
Press the bottom of the switch to
increase lower lumbar, decreasing
higher lumbar support. Press the front
of the switch to increase mid-lumbar
and the rear to decrease all lumbar
support.
( D ) – If specified, varies the cushion

Steering Column
Adjustment
!WARNING:
Do not adjust the steering column
whilst driving.
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 tilt.
Three column positions may be stored
and recalled by the driver position
memory system. See Memory Setting
on page 3 - 31.
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’
and the driver’s door is opened or if the
ignition key is removed, the steering
column will move to the uppermost tilt
position. The seat will move rearwards
unless it is already 1.5 inches (4 cm) or
less from its fully rearward position when
it will not move any further back.
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 integrated key), the steering
wheel and seat will move to the new
position. Caution: Do not use steering wheel
mounted security devices since
movement of the steering wheel in
entry/exit mode could result in
vehicle damage (e.g. the windscreen)
or possible injury to the occupant.
Note:
1. 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.
2. If the adjustment switch is moved during entry/exit operation, steering
column movement will stop.

3 - 20 Before Driving
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 w hiplash 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 collisio n, therefore, the seat
must always be inspected by an
authorised Retailer.
!WARNING:
1. 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.
2. Adjust the head re straint so that it
is just behind your head and never
behind your neck.
3. Do not wedge objects (e.g. luggage) between the front
seat backrest and the rear seat
cushion. 4. After a rear collision, the front
seats must be inspected by a
Jaguar Retailer even where there
is no apparent da mage or change
to the seat.
5. Do not attempt to service or tamper with the seat recliner
mechanism.
