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.

Door Mirrors
Both door mirrors are adjusted from the
driver’s door switchpack.
The four-way adjustment button (A)
moves the mirrors to the required
position. The selector switch ( B) 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 re position the housing
until it locks into place.
At night, the approach lamps in the door
mirrors also switch on automatically
when reverse is selected.
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. Door mirrors – power foldback
To assist parking by reducing the overall
vehicle width, this optional feature
enables the door mirrors to be folded
back. Press button (
C) to fold the mirrors
inwards and press again to return the
mirrors to their normal driving position.
Do not attempt to re position powerfold
manually. Always use the button.
Electrochromic door mirrors
The switch on the interior mirror controls
the electrochromic function for both door
and interior mirrors. Impact to door mirrors
If a door mirror is 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.
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 dip when reversing
Note: Vehicles are not normally
delivered with this feature but it can be
fitted by your Retailer.
When reverse gear is selected, one or
both door mirrors incline downwards to
provide a close up view of the rear side
areas.
When the gear selector is moved out of
reverse, the mirrors return to their
original positions.

Before Driving 3 - 9
Interior Rear View Mirror
The interior rear view mirror is of the
electrochromic type but electrochromic
operation may be switched on or off at
the mirror.
When switched on, the mirror darkens
automatically to prevent glare from a
following vehicle’s headlamps, and clears
when light levels return to normal or
when reverse gear is selected.
Electrochromic door mirrors are operated
in conjunction with the interior mirror by
the same buttons an d function in the
same manner.
Note:
1. Should a mirror assembly become detached from the windscreen, it must
be refitted by a Jaguar Retailer.
2. 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. Electronic road toll systems
If you have an E-ZPass or other electronic
road toll transponder, it is advisable to
mount the transmitter
on the windscreen
about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the mirror
mount and headlining and to the side of
the mirror ensuring that it does not cover
the forward-facing light sensor. This also
keeps it away from any metal which may
affect it’s operation.
Do not move the tag more often than
need be as it can affect the calibration of
the compass.
Electrochromic operation
To switch on, press the MIRROR button.
An LED lights up to indicate that
automatic operation is selected.
Press again to switch off. Compass operation
When switched on, the compass display
on the right-hand side of the mirror
surface shows the direction the vehicle is
pointing. Eight main directions can be
displayed, e.g. ‘N’ for north, ‘SW’ for
south west.
To switch on:
Press the COMP button.
Press again to switch off.

Occupant Protection
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 with the air
bags as part of the Advanced Restraints
Technology System (see page 3 - 14). All passenger seat belt mechanisms
incorporate an automatic locking device
to allow child seats to be secured safely.
Forchild safety seepage3-23.
Comfort belts are fitted to both individual
electrically operated rear seats. They are
also fitted to the outer seats only on the
electrically operated rear bench seat.
These belts incorporate a twin tension
facility. When the belt is buckled around
the occupant, a reduced tension is
applied to provide a more comfortable
fitting. When the belt is unfastened,
a higher tension is applied to allow it to
retract correctly.
Beltminder
The Beltminder feature is a supplemental
warning to the seat belt warning function
(see page 4 - 6). This feature provides
additional reminders to the driver that
the driver’s and/or front passenger’s seat
belt is unbuckled by intermittently
sounding a chime and illuminating the
seat belt warning lamp in the instrument
cluster.
Note:
Not all countries have the warning
chime. 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.

3 - 18 Before Driving
Air bag de-activation warning light
(YELLOW)
The PASS AIR BAG OFF warning light on
the passenger fascia is associated with the
deployment conditions for front seat
passenger air bags only.
• The warning light will NOT be lit if the seat is empty and the front air bag will
not be activated.
• The warning light will NOT be lit if the seat is occupied by a larger child or
adult. The front air bag will be
activated and will be deployed in the
event of a frontal impact. • The PASS AIR BAG OFF warning light
WILL be lit if the seat is occupied by,
for example, a small child and in this
case the front air bag will not be
activated.
• If the passenger adopts a posture (e.g. leaning very far forward) which
could cause injury from an inflating
air bag, the PASS AIR BAG OFF
warning light WILL be lit and the front
air bag will not be activated.
Note: Whenever the yellow PASS AIR
BAG OFF warning light on the passenger
fascia is illuminated, the front passenger
air bag will not be deployed in the event
of an impact.

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.

3 - 26 Before Driving
• Never modify the seat harness or buckles as this may affect the quick
release mechanism.
• Always secure your child correctly, even for a short journey.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for harness adjustments.
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.Check List – Non-LATCH Child
Restraints
Follow the check list each time a child
travels in the vehicle:
• Always attach the top tether when
installing a forward-facing child seat.
• Carefully follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the
restraint system.
• Always use the appropriate child restraints and adjust harnesses for
every child, every trip.
• Avoid dressing a child in bulky clothing and do not place any objects
between the child and the restraint
system.
• No child seat is completely child- proof. Encourage your child not to
play with buckle or harness. • Regularly check the fit of your child
seat and replace seats or harnesses
that show signs of wear.
• Ensure that you have removed all slack from the adult seat belt and that
the automatic locking device is
activated.
• Never leave a child unsupervised in the vehicle.
• Activate the rear door child safety locks (see page 2 - 14).
• 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.
