Fitting LATCH seats
For further information regarding a LATCH child seat, please
consult your Jaguar Retailer.
Always use the additional top tether anchorage.
LATCH child seats can only be fi tted to the two outer rear seat
positions, as shown on the previous page.
Caution: When fitting a LATCH child seat, the seat
manufacturers instructions must always be followed.
The following is a guide only.
Note: So as not to interfere with the fitment of large child seats,
push the adult seat buckles into their buckle recesses and,
if necessary, remove the headrest.
LATCH seat with extendable bars (A) – Fit the seat as
follows:
1. Expose the LATCH loops between the seat and seat back.
2. Make sure that the adult seat belts and buckles do not become trapped behind the child seat.
3. Make sure there is nothing obstructing the seat mounting mechanism at the anchorage points.
4. Make sure you do NOT trap the top tether strap behind the child seat.
5. Fully extend the two attachme nt bars on the child seat
(see manufacturer’s instructions).
6. Locate the slots on the ends of the bars onto the two LATCH
loops, then push the seat asse mbly rearwards until the bars
are positively engaged (a trigger operates to lock the
attachment bars onto the loops). 7. Slide the seat rearwards along the legs until it is locked firmly
against the vehicle seat back. Confirm that it is securely
locked in position.
8. Secure a forward-facing ch ild seat to the top tether
anchorage.
LATCH seat with tether straps (B) – Clip the flexible lower
straps to the two LATCH loops. Adjust the length of each strap
until the seat is held firmly against the vehicle seat back.
!WARNING:
Do not install a LATCH child seat with flexible lower
attachments in the vehicle centre seat position.
The anchorage loops are only provided to install a
compatible child seat in the vehicle outboard seat
positions.

Child restraint top tether anchorages and brackets
!WARNING:
The top tether must always be used to secure forward-
facing child seats.
The top of the child seat is connected by a short strap to a top
tether bracket to prevent any tendency of the seat to rotate
about the lower anchorages. The top tether brackets are
positioned on the rear parcel shelf, under access covers, at the
centre-line of each rear seating position.
Fit the top tether in combination with the lower LATCH
attachments or other child restraints to secure the seat.
Connect the top tether to the child seat (if it is not part of the
seat) and pass it under the vehicle rear head restraint to connect
to the fixed tether bracket on the rear shelf. Adjust the length of
the top tether strap to hold the top of the child seat against the
vehicle seat back.
!WARNING:
Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only
those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints.
Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat
belts or for attaching other items or equipment to the
vehicle.

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.

4-6 On the Road
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.

Climate Control 5 - 3
5 Climate Control
Introduction
The cabin is supplied with filtered air
from a fully automatic electronic climate
control system with manual overrides.
Two systems are available:
• A two zone system which allows the front occupants to set individual
temperatures for the left and right
sides of the interior.
• A four zone system which allows front and rear occupants to set individual
temperatures, i.e. two front zones and
two rear zones.
Occupant controls
The main climate control panel is located
in the centre console above the radio and
audio controls. There are two types of
control panel for either two or four zone
systems:
• A dedicated control panel with LCD (liquid crystal display) screen
(see page 5 - 6).
• A multi-function touch control and display unit shared with navigation
and other systems. Where this control
unit is fitted, refer to the Jaguar
Touch-screen Handbook for the
detailed operating instructions. Where the four zone climate control
system is fitted, an additional control/
display panel for rear passenger use is
located at the rear of the centre console,
between the front seats.
Voice control
The climate control system may also be
operated by spoken commands if the
optional voice activation system is fitted.
For full information on the use of this
system refer to the JaguarVoice
Handbook.
Recommended Operation
Automatic climate control
Automatic climate control provides
efficient regulation of the vehicle
environment without constant
adjustments from the occupant.
Sensors inside the vehicle monitor
temperature, humidity and direct
sunlight. In response, the electronic
control system automatically adjusts the
heat input, blower speed, air intake and
airflow distribution so as to maintain the
selected temperature(s) and reduce
misting.
Automatic operation provides optimum
comfort under most driving conditions. It is recommended that automatic
control (AUTO) is selected as the
normal operating mode.
Use of air conditioning
Air conditioning is an integral part of the
climate control system, providing cooled
and dehumidified
air for occupant
comfort; the dry airflow is also effective
in preventing misting of the windows.
While the air conditioner can be
manually switched off, it is recommended
that it is used in all climatic conditions
throughout the year, preferably in AUTO
mode.
Close all windows and the sunroof when
the air conditioning is on to ensure
satisfactory operation.
Use of air recirculation
The air conditioner/heater system is
supplied with fresh air via an intake flap.
Closing the flap causes the air inside the
vehicle to be recirculated. This helps to
prevent unpleasant odours from being
drawn into the vehicle and also to
improve the performance of the air
conditioner in very hot conditions.
However, the use of recirculated air will
cause screen misting after a short period
and should only be used as necessary.

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
timed air recirculation.
The fresh air intake is opened
and the button LED extinguished at the
end of the time out period.
Latched air re circulation
Press and hold the button for a
few seconds to select latched air
recirculation. Selection is
indicated by the scre en symbol and two
beeps.
Selecting latched air recirculation cancels
AUTO operation.
To deselect latched air recirculation,
press the recirculat ion button again,
or select AUTO.
!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.
