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 The system is no longer active.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.

4-58 On the Road
Vehicle Suspension
This vehicle is fitted with a fully
automatic air suspension system.
It ensures that the vehicle is always at the
correct ride height with varying load
conditions, including luggage
compartment load or when towing.
The system will automatically adjust the
amount of air in the springs to level the
vehicle. Air is supplied either from an air
reservoir or a compressor.
The compressor will run periodically to
refill the reservoir.
Changes in ambient temperature will also
have an effect on vehicle height when the
vehicle is parked.
Caution:
1. Do not overload the vehicle. Vehicle load weights are shown
on page 8 - 4.
2. A slight air loss is expected over time causing the vehicle to lower,
so do not store or place anything
under the vehicle if it is to be left
for an extended period. Speed lowering
When driving at motorway speeds,
the system will lower the vehicle to
improve aerodynamics and vehicle
stability. The suspension will
automatically return the vehicle to the
normal height when the vehicle slows.
Caution: Speed lowering is
undesirable when towing.
Only Jaguar approved towing
equipment will not allow this feature.
Warning messages
If the message ‘VEHICLE TOO LOW’ is
displayed when the ignition is switched
on, start the engine and wait for the
suspension to raise. The vehicle should
not be driven until the message is
cleared.
If the message ‘VEHICLE TOO LOW’ is
displayed when driv
ing, restrict the
vehicle speed and wait for the system to
regain the correct height and the message
will then clear. If the message is displayed
frequently, it is advisable to inform your
Retailer to have the system attended to.
If the message ‘AIR SUSPENSION FAULT’
is displayed at any time, drive with
caution. Have the vehicle checked by a
Retailer at the earliest opportunity.
Note: If your vehicle needs to be
recovered by a roadside emergency
service ensure that the vehicle is securely
lashed by the wheels and NOT the body.

5 - 4 Climate Control
In AUTO mode, the air intake flap is
controlled automatically. If required,
air recirculation may be manually
selected for either a short or indefinite
period.
Air Recirculation
Timed air recirculationPress the button briefly to select

!WARNING:
To prevent humidity build up inside
the vehicle and possible screen
misting, avoid driving with the air
conditioning system off or with
manual air recirculation selected for
prolonged periods.
General Points
To ensure the satisfactory operation of
the climate control system, note the
following points:
• Ensure that the external grille at the base of the windscreen, which
provides fresh air for the climate
control system, is kept clear of leaves,
snow or obstructions.
• A solar sensor is mounted on the centre top of the fascia, as shown
opposite ( A) . E n s u r e t h a t this sensor is
not covered.
• Temperature and humidity sensors are located behind the small grille ( B).
Do not cover or obstruct the opening.
• Air ducts under the front seats supply the rear passenger footwells (see
illustration opposite). Objects or
material placed under the seats may
block or obstruct the open ducts. • The external air intake to the air
conditioner/heater system is fitted
with a filter. Ensure that the filter is
changed at the specified service
intervals to maintain efficient
operation.
• If the air conditioning system is not used frequently, it should be run
briefly at least once each week, with a
cold setting, to prevent the seals from
drying out with subsequent
refrigerant leaks.
• Moisture removed from the air by the air conditioning unit is discharged
onto the road underneath the vehicle.
After stopping, puddles of water may
form underneath the vehicle.
Air Distribution
The illustration opposite shows the
location of the air vents within the
vehicle. The airflow from the fascia face
level vents is regulated using thumbwheel
controls and adjustable direction vanes.
Air distribution between the windscreen,
fascia and floor levels is selected
automatically when operating in AUTO
mode but can be selected manually.
