Pedal Adjustment
!WARNING:
Do not adjust the pedals whilst driving.
This facility enables the pedals to be moved towards or away
from the driver’s seat, providing extra adjustment for the driving
position. All pedals move together (no individual pedal
adjustment) and are electrically controlled from the combined
steering column/pedal adjust switch on the left side of the
steering column housing. The adjustment can be made with or
without the ignition key inserted.
To adjust the position of the pedals, turn the switch
to ‘PEDALS’, then push it forwards or rearwards to cause a
corresponding movement of the pedal assembly.
Three pedal positions may be stored and recalled by the driver
position memory system. See Memory Setting on page 3 - 31.
It will not be possible to adjust the pedals if cruise control has
been set.

Wrong
Unbelted and too close Use seat belts If adjustable pedals fitted, move pedals towards seat
Move seat rearwards and recline seat back Tilt wheel down/forwards Correct
*Belted and 10 inches (25.4 cm) or more away

3 - 22 Before Driving
Driving Position
!WARNING:
Driver and front seat passenger
should always move their seats as far
rearwards as is practical.
Ideally, drivers should sit with at least
10 inches (25.4 cm) between the centre
of their breastbone and the cover of the
steering wheel air bag.
Since the risk zone at the time of
deployment is the first 2 to 3 inches
(5.5 cm – 7.5 cm) from the air bag cover,
sitting back 10 inches (25.4 cm) provides
a clear margin of safety. Very few drivers
are unable to achieve and maintain that
safety gap. The vast majority of drivers who do not
now sit that far back can change their
position and achieve that distance.
• If adjustable pedals are fitted, move
them towards the seat.
• Move your seat back as far as you can while still comfortably reaching the
pedals.
• Recline the back of your seat one or two notches from the upright
position. If reclining the back of your
seat makes it hard to see the road,
raise the seat.
• Tilt the steering wheel/column downwards so as to point the air bag
at your chest instead of your head and
neck. Adjust the steering wheel/
column fore/aft so that it extends
towards the driver as little as possible,
ensuring that the air bag has plenty of
room to deploy.
• Sit in the centre of the seat with the head as close to the head restraint as
possible. Note:
Seat, steering wheel and pedal
adjustment controls are described
elsewhere in this section.

Luggage Compartment
!WARNING:
1. Locate heavy loads in the luggage compartment towards the front of
the vehicle and secure them to
stop them sliding. Loose items can
be a hazard.
2. Do not drive wi th the luggage
compartment lid open as exhaust
fumes can be drawn into the
passenger compartment.
Luggage Tie-down Loops
Four loops are positioned in the luggage
compartment for attaching straps to
secure loads and prevent them from
sliding over the luggage floor.
These loops are not to be used for
securing passengers or animals nor as
anchorages for child restraints.
It is advisable to distribute luggage weight
evenly over the entire luggage floor area.
A range of Jaguar storage accessories,
including a luggag e retaining net,
are available from your Retailer.

3 - 34 Before Driving
Ski Hatch
A two-door hatch is fitted to the rear seat
on some models, providing an opening
between the passenger and luggage
compartments. This allows space for skis
or similar objects to be stowed in the
vehicle. Both doors have a single catch.
The inner door is accessible after folding
down the armrest. To open the door, pull
the leather flap forward, press the
catch (A) downwards and gently lower
the door on to the armrest.
A bag for retaining the skis can now be
pulled from the receptacle into the
passenger compartment, and the strap ( C)
loosened ready to accept the skis.
The other door is accessible from inside
the luggage compartment and is opened
by pushing the catch ( B) and lowering the
door.
Push the skis into the bag from the
luggage compartment and then secure
the skis using the strap provided on the
bag. Clip the strap connector ( D) to the
centre rear seat belt buckle.

4-4 On the Road
Engine Temperature (E)
Drive at moderate road and engine
speeds until normal operating
temperature is reached. This is indicated
when the pointer is between the
blue (cold) segment and the red (hot)
segment.
The engine operating temperature will
vary with changes in weather and engine
load. The engine temperature may rise in
some circumstances, such as:
• Idling for long periods in slow moving traffic.
• Driving up a long hill in hot weather.
• Driving slowly or stopping after driving at high speed.
• Towing a trailer or caravan.!WARNING:
1. The radiator cooling fans may continue to run after the ignition
has been switched off but will
automatically switch off when the
engine has cooled sufficiently.
2. It is unsafe to run the engine in an overheated condition.
3. Do not remove the coolant reservoir filler cap while the
engine is hot. If it is essential, then
protect your hands against
escaping steam. SLOWLY turn the
cap anti-clockwise to allow the
steam pressure to escape
completely before removing the
cap. Should the pointer move into the red
segment (
H) of the coolant gauge, stop
the vehicle as soon as it is safely possible,
turn off the engine and open the hood to
allow the engine to cool.
