Check List – LATCH Child
Restraints
Follow the check list each time your child
travels in the vehicle:
• Always attach the top tether when installing a forward-facing seat.
• Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the child seat.
• Always give the seat a final pull to ensure the lower anchors are secure,
even if the seat has indicators to show
that the seat connectors are latched.
• Always use the appropriate child restraints and adjust harnesses for
every child, every trip.
• Make sure you use a seat with the correct weight range for your child. • Avoid dressing your child in bulky
clothing and do not place any objects
between the child and the restraint
system.
• Regularly check the fit of your child seat and replace seats or harnesses
that show signs of wear.
• No child seat is completely child- proof. Encourage your child not to
play with the buckle or harness.
• 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.

Warning Lights
Warning lights are arranged within the
instrument cluster.
There are two warning lights, one red,
the other amber, located above the
message centre for primary and
secondary status of the warnings
displayed by the message centre.
‘RED’ warning lights are for primary
warnings. A primary warning must be
investigated immediately by the driver or
a Jaguar Retailer.
‘AMBER’ warning lights are for secondary
warnings when the driver must take
action and then report the fault to a
Retailer at the earliest opportunity.
Other lights within the instrument cluster
indicate system status, such as blue for
main beam and green for direction
indicators, when in operation. Lamp check
A lamp check is initiated when the
ignition is switched ON and lasts for
three seconds (excepting the air bag
warning light which will remain on for
6seconds). Ifany wa
rning light remains
on after this period, investigate the cause
before driving.
Note: Not all lamps are included in the
lamp check, for example main beam
headlights or direction indicators.
Low Oil Pressure (RED)
This lights up with the ignition
switched ON and should go
out once the engine is running.
If the light remains ON once the engine
has started or comes ON whilst driving,
loss of oil pressure is indicated.
STOP the engine immediately and
investigate the cause.
Caution: Do not restart the engine
until the cause of loss of oil pressure
has been identified and rectified.
First check the engine oil level,
seepage7-6.

Charge Indicator (RED)
This lights up when the ignition
is switched ON and should go
out when the engine is
running.
If the light stays ON when the engine is
running it indicates that there is either a
battery voltage fault or a generator fault.
Turn OFF all electrical accessories, radio,
climate control, rear screen heater etc.
Try to use the minimum electrical load as
possible such as power windows, electric
sunroof etc. Report the fault to a Jaguar
Retailer.
Seat Belt (RED)
The warning lamp lights when
the ignition is ON and:
• The driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
• A passenger is sitting in the front seat and their seat belt is not fastened.
The light should go out when the driver’s
seat belt (and the front passenger’s if the
seat is occupied) is fastened.
Note: The vehicle must be moving above
10 mph (16 km/h) for the lamp to
illuminate if the passeng er seat belt is not
fastened.
Beltminder
The Beltminder feature is a supplemental
warning to the seat be lt warning function.
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 light in the instrument cluster. If the vehicle is moving above 10 mph
(16 km/h) and one or both front seats are
occupied and a seat belt is not fastened,
a warning chime will be heard and the
light will flash.
The chime sound and the light flashing
will last for 10 seconds and then repeat
every 30 seconds for five minutes or until
the belts are fastened or the vehicle
stops.
If the warning light stays ON steady with
the seat belt(s) fastened, report the fault
to a Jaguar Retailer. It is safe to drive the
vehicle with the light ON steady,
provided that the seat belt(s) is properly
fastened. Ensure that all occupants seat
belts are fastened before driving.
Although not advisable, it is possible to
disable or reinstate the Beltminder
function. Please see a Jaguar Retailer.
Note:
If a heavy object is placed on the
front passenger seat it may activate the
Beltminder feature. It is recommended
that the object be placed in the luggage
compartment.

Clearing Messages
Messages can be hidden by pressing
RESET on the trip computer switchpack.
One press will hide one message.

the display will show trip data, a further
press will display the odometer reading.
If RESET is pressed again, all active

Repeatedly pressing the RESET button will
cycle through the trip, odometer and
message modes.
If a fault occurs when in trip computer or
odometer mode, the relevant message
will be displayed immediately.
If a trip computer function is selected by
pressing the TRIP button while messages
are displayed, the trip data will be
displayed for 10 seconds, then the
message will reappear.
Note: Hidden messages reappear after an
ignition OFF/ON cycle, if the fault

Trip Computer
The computer memory stores data for a
journey or series of journeys until it is
reset to zero.
The displayed information is for guidance
only, as it can be affected by traffic, road
and weather conditions.
Two independent memories are available
(A and B) to allow two separate journeys
to be recorded concurrently,
for example, work usage and evening/
weekend usage.
Trip distance, average fuel economy and
average speed will be prefixed A or B
depending on the current memory
selected.
Press the TRIP button on the end of the
left column stalk switch repeatedly to
display the data in the following order:
• Odometer.
•Trip distance.
•Range.
• Current fuel consumption.
• Average fuel economy.
• Average speed.
• Messages.
Odometer
The odometer shows the total vehicle
distance travelled since the vehicle was
new.
When the ignition is switched ON
(position ‘II’) the display shows the
odometer reading unless another trip
computer function was previously
selected or a warning message is
displayed, for example, ‘DOOR OPEN’.
The odometer reading is displayed in
either miles or kilometres, depending on
the units selected with the trip computer.
Trip Distance (A/B)
Distance travelled since the last memory
reset. The maximum trip reading is
9999.9 miles (16, 090 kilometres).
The computer, either A or B, will
automatically reset to zero if this distance
is exceeded.
Range
Predicted distance, kilometres or miles,
that the vehicle should travel on the
remaining fuel, assuming average fuel
economy and fuel consumption stay
constant.
