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

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.

‘ 2 ’, ‘ 3’, ‘ 4’ or ‘ 5’, unless the vehicle is to
be parked. When stopping for traffic
lights, junctions etc., either select ‘ P’ or
apply the parkbrake and select ‘ N’.
Before Starting
Before starting the engine, new owners/
drivers should familiarize themselves with
the layout and operation of the controls
and instruments.
!WARNING:
Before attempting to start the engine,
check parkbrake is ON and gear
selector lever is in position ‘P’ or ‘N’.
To Start the Engine
The engine cannot be started until the

Insert the key into the ignition switch and
turn clockwise to position ‘II’ to switch
on the ignition.
When the key is turned to position ‘III’
the starter motor will turn the engine
until:
• The key is released and automatically returns to position ‘II’.
• The ignition switch is turned to ‘0’ or ‘I’.
• The gear selector is moved out of ‘P’ or ‘N’.
• The engine starts.
If the engine fails to start, the key must be
turned to position ‘0’ before attempting
to restart.
Do not use the starter continuously for
longer than six seconds. Continued use of
the starter will disc harge the battery and

On the Road 4 - 55
Forward alert
Limited detection and warning of objects
ahead is provided during ACC operation
by the ACC ‘DRIVER INTERVENE’
warning.
The forward alert feature additionally
provides warnings whilst ACC is not
engaged, if an object is detected close
ahead then a warning tone and message
will be issued. The brakes will not be
applied.
This additional feature may be switched
on or off using the forward alert switch in
the lower outboard knee bolster
switchpack. When the indicator lamp in
the switch is on, forward alert is active.The sensitivity of the warning may be
changed:
• Pressing the gap decrease button
when ACC is disengaged displays and
then decreases the sensitivity of the
alert.
• Pressing the gap increase button displays and then increases the
sensitivity of the alert.
Both of these are accompanied by the
FORWARD ALERT message on
the message centre.
ACC failure
If a fault occurs during operation of the
system in cruise or follow modes,
the ACC system will switch OFF and
cannot be used until the fault is cleared.
A red warning light and the message
‘DRIVER INTERVENE’ appear briefly, and
are then replaced by an amber warning
light and the message ‘CRUISE NOT
AVAILABLE’.
If failure of the ACC or any related system
occurs at any other time an amber
warning light will be displayed
accompanied by th e message ‘CRUISE
NOT AVAILABLE’. It will not be possible
to activate the ACC system in any mode. Accumulations of dirt, snow or ice on the
on the sensor or cover may inhibit ACC
operation. Fitting of a vehicle front
protector or metallis
ed badges may also
affect ACC operation.
If this occurs in ACC cruise/follow mode,
the red warning light is displayed,
the audible alarm sounds and the
message ‘DRIVER INTERVENE’ appears
briefly. These warnings are then replaced
by the amber warning light and the
message ‘ACC SENSOR BLOCKED’ is
displayed. The system is no longer active.
Clearing the obstruction allows the
system to return to normal operation.
If the obstruction is present when ACC is
inactive, e.g. on initial starting or with the
ACC system switched off, the amber
warning light will be displayed with the
message ‘ACC SENSOR BLOCKED’.
Tyres other than those recommended
may have different sizes. This can affect
the correct operation of the ACC.

4-56 On the Road
Notes on using adaptive cruise
control
1. Adaptive cruise control operates when the gear selector lever is in
position ‘2’, ‘3’ ‘4’ ‘5’ or ‘D’.
2. When engaged, the accelerator pedal rests in the raised position.
Fully release the pedal to allow
normal ACC operation.
3. When braking is applied by the ACC
the brake pedal will move down and
up as braking is applied or removed.
The vehicle brake lights will be
switched on while braking is applied.
!WARNING:
The driver must not rest a foot under
the brake pedal, as it may become
trapped. Driving with ACC active
The system acts by regulating the speed
of the vehicle using engine control and
the brakes. Gear changes may occur in
response to decelerati
on or acceleration
whilst in ACC.
ACC is not a collision avoidance system,
however, during some situations the
system may provide the driver with an
indication that intervention is required.
An audible alarm will sound,
accompanied by a re d warning light and
the message ‘DRIVER INTERVENE’ if the
ACC detects:
• That using maximum ACC braking only is not sufficient.
• That the vehicle speed has decreased below the minimum for ACC
operation.
• A failure has occurred whilst the system is active.
