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.

2 - 18 Security and Locks
If the system has been passively armed it
can be disarmed by either using the key
transmitter, by switching the ignition to
position ‘II’, or by unlocking the driver’s
door with the key.
Note:The security system will not
passively arm if a key is in the ignition
switch or if any protected entry is open.Battery Reconnection
If the battery has been disconnected and
is subsequently reconnected, the alarm
system will resume the same state as
before the battery was disconnected.
If the alarm was sounding when the
battery was disconnected, it will sound
again when the battery is reconnected
and will need:
• The transmitter un lock button to be
pressed
• Or a key placed in the ignition switch and turned to position ‘II’
• Or the driver’s door to be unlocked with a key
to disarm the vehicle.
Battery Back-up Sounder
(Retailer Option)
A self-contained, battery back-up
sounder can be fitted. This device will
sound the full alarm if the vehicle alarm is
activated, or if the ve hicle battery or the
sounder is disconnected when the
security system is armed.

4-42 On the Road
Starting/Stopping the
Vehicle
When the vehicle is stationary the
automatic gear selector may be left in ‘D’,
‘ 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
gear selector is in ‘ N’ or ‘ P’.
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
may damage the starter mechanism.
Wait until the engine stops turning before
re-using the starter.
When the engine starts, release the key. The red charge light and the oil pressure
light in the instrument cluster should go
out when the engine is running.
If the engine fails to start
If an ignition key is placed in the ignition
switch and turned to position ‘II’ and the
alarm security light is flashing, it is
possible that the engine will not start.
In any event, please contact a Jaguar
Retailer to investigate the cause of the
light flashing.
It is possible that the fuel system inertia
switch may have tripped, see page 6 - 3
for the resetting procedure.
If the engine persistent
ly fails to start and
flooding is suspected, depress the
accelerator pedal fully, hold it in this
position and turn the key to position ‘III’
for six seconds. Release the key, remove
your foot from the accelerator pedal and
then attempt to restart the engine.
Note: The engine cannot start whilst the
pedal is fully depressed, it must be
released to enable the engine to start.
If the engine still fail s to start, switch the
ignition OFF and contact a Jaguar
Retailer.

7-16 Maintenance
Battery lead disconnection
Caution:
1. Under no circumstances should a battery be discon nected whilst
the ignition circuit is live,
as permanent damage to the
instrument cluster may occur.
2. Disconnect the negative lead (earth terminal) first.
Fold the luggage compartment floor panel
forwards (see page 6 - 4).
Slacken the negative lead pinch bolt and
disconnect the negative (–) battery lead.
Slacken the positive lead pinch bolt and
disconnect the positive (+) battery lead. Battery lead connection
Note:
Upon battery reconnection the
security system will be armed. Opening
any protected entry will sound the alarm.
Make sure that a key or key transmitter is
available.
Caution: Do not overtighten the
pinch bolts.
Clean the battery posts and coat the post
bases with petroleum jelly.
Connect the positive (+) lead, tighten the
pinch bolt and clip the positive terminal
cover on the battery. Connect the
negative (–) lead and tighten the pinch
bolt.
After the battery ha s been reconnected
and the ignition swit ch is turned to
position ‘II’, the message centre display,
if fitted, will initially show an erroneous
reading i.e.––––––. Thiswill remain
until after the bulb check sequence, when
the correct recorded mileage will be
displayed. This is a normal function of the
instrument cluster.
After battery reconnection
After reconnecting the battery:
• Reset the electric parkbrake; refer to Parkbrake on page 4 - 34. • Reset the electrically operated
windows anti-trap function; refer to
Window Anti-trap Protection on
page 4 - 30.
• The trip computer will lose all recorded trip data and all trip
functions will be reset to zero.
The vehicle total odometer reading is
retained.
• If the battery is disconnected for more than 72 hours the radio preset
channels will need to be reset.
• Where fitted, the TV preset channels may need to be reset. Refer to the
Jaguar Touch-screen Handbook.
• Reset the clock to the correct time.
The engine electronic control system
adapts to certain characteristics of the
vehicle. These adaptations are lost if the
battery is disconnected.
On reconnection, therefore, some slightly
abnormal drive symptoms may occur and
the vehicle may need to be driven
10 miles (16 kilometres) or more while
the control system re-adapts.
