2004 JAGUAR XJ lights

4-44 On the Road
Note:
1. After selecting forward or reverse drive ranges from Neutral or Park,
wait briefly for th e transmission to
engage before accelerating.
2. When in Neutral or Park the engine can only be a ccelerated to
4500 rev/min.
R = Reverse – Do not select if the vehicle
is moving forward.
The reversing lights come ON
automatically when reverse gear is
selected and the ignition switch is in
position ‘II’.
D = Drive – All six gears are changed
automatically as required by the throttle
position and road speed.
2, 3, 4, 5 = If selected, the transmission
operates automatically in second, third,
fourth or fifth gear but will not engage
gears higher than the one selected. Drive to fifth
When driving in gear position ‘D’ with
sixth gear engaged, the gear selector can
be shifted sideways across the gate to ‘
5’.
Provided that the vehicle’s speed is not
too great, the transmission will shift
down to fifth. Sixth gear will be inhibited
until the gear selector is moved back to
‘D’.
Hill climbing and engine braking
When driving on roads with long
downhill gradients, selecting ‘3’ or ‘2’
(depending on road/traffic conditions)
will give engine braking.
When the gear selector is moved
from ‘D’, ‘5’, ‘4’ or ‘3’ down to ‘2’,
downshift to second ge ar will only take
place at appropriate road speeds.
Reverse inhibit
Reverse is inhibited when the vehicle is
moving forward at speeds above 5 mph
(8 km/h).
Note: Reverse inhibit will not function in
limp-home mode. Kickdown
Kickdown is operated when the pedal is
pressed fully down, beyond the normal
operating range and against a spring
pressure, to provide maximum engine
performance. Kickdown is used in
circumstances where rapid acceleration is
required, such as when overtaking.
Kickdown causes the transmission to
change down to the lowest gear possible
to achieve maximum acceleration.
The gear engaged depends on the road
speed at the time of kickdown.
As well as shifting
down, the gearshift
points are extended to give greater
performance. This mode is in effect for as
long as the pedal is pressed fully down.

4-56 On the Road
Notes on using adaptive cruise
control
1. Adaptive cruise control operates when the gear selector lever is in
position ‘2’, ‘3’ ‘4’ ‘5’ or ‘D’.
2. When engaged, the accelerator pedal rests in the raised position.
Fully release the pedal to allow
normal ACC operation.
3. When braking is applied by the ACC
the brake pedal will move down and
up as braking is applied or removed.
The vehicle brake lights will be
switched on while braking is applied.
!WARNING:
The driver must not rest a foot under
the brake pedal, as it may become
trapped. Driving with ACC active
The system acts by regulating the speed
of the vehicle using engine control and
the brakes. Gear changes may occur in
response to decelerati
on or acceleration
whilst in ACC.
ACC is not a collision avoidance system,
however, during some situations the
system may provide the driver with an
indication that intervention is required.
An audible alarm will sound,
accompanied by a re d warning light and
the message ‘DRIVER INTERVENE’ if the
ACC detects:
• That using maximum ACC braking only is not sufficient.
• That the vehicle speed has decreased below the minimum for ACC
operation.
• A failure has occurred whilst the system is active.

General Driving
Information
!WARNING:
Ensure the parkbrake is on and the
automatic gear selector is in
position ‘P’ or ‘N’ before attempting
to start the engine.
Before driving off, check the gauges and
warning lights and messages. Take special
note of any warning light that is on.
Seat belts are provided for your safety
and it is unwise, and in certain countries
illegal, to commence any journey,
however short, without wearing them.
Warming Up
Do not operate the en gine at high speed
when first started but allow time for the
engine to warm up and the oil to
circulate.
Engine Braking On Downhill
Gradients
When driving on mountain roads with
long downhill gradients it is advisable to
select a low gear.
Running-in
Apart from a few precautionary
recommendations, there are no strict
‘running-in’ procedures for this vehicle.
By observing the following advisory notes
you will ensure maximum engine,
transmission and brake life for your
vehicle:
1. Allow the engine to warm up thoroughly before operating at engine
speeds over 3500 rev/min.
2. Vary the speed frequently.
3. From 940 miles (1500 kilometres) onwards, gradually increase
performance of the vehicle up to the
permitted maximum speed, where
road conditions permit. Running-in for brakes
To ensure that the brake pads can
‘bed-in’ evenly and reach their optimum
wear and performance condition, usually
within 300 miles (480 kilometres),
the following points are recommended.
1. Where possible, avoid heavy braking
or rough usage of the brakes as this
can result in damage being caused to
the brake pads and discs.
2. Avoid prolonged use of the brakes, for example, when descending severe
gradients.
3. Frequent light application of the brakes is desirable. This helps to fully
‘bed-in’ the brake pads before the
normal running-in period is
completed and the vehicle is operated
at high speeds, when maximum brake
efficiency will be required.
The above equally applies when new
discs or pads have been fitted.

Touring
Foreign travel
Before planning foreign travel, check with
a motoring organisation to ensure that
your vehicle will comply with legal
requirements of the countries you intend
to visit.
International motoring organisations are
helpful for all aspects of long distance
touring advice.
In some countries it is a legal requirement
to carry spare vehicle bulbs.
First aid kit
A first aid kit is compulsory equipment in
certain countries. Your Jaguar Retailer
can supply a first aid kit.Petroleum spirit in containers
Some countries forbid the carrying of
petrol in containers, as do most ferry and
hovercraft operators.
Cellular radio telephones
Ask your motoring organisation about the
use of cellular radio telephones before
travelling abroad, as some countries
exercise controls on the importation and
use of such equipment.
Roof-rack
Only the Jaguar approved roof-rack
should be used.
The maximum load, including the weight
of the rack, must not exceed the load
rating indicated on th
e roof-rack bars and
must be deducted from the vehicle
maximum luggage load.
Loads on the roof-rack may affect vehicle
handling, especially in crosswinds or
when cornering. Jaguar warning triangle
A warning triangle to give traffic
advanced notice of a disabled vehicle is
compulsory in many countries.
A triangle, designed to international
standards is fitted as standard equipment
in certain countries. The warning triangle
with its stand legs folded flat, is mounted
on the inside of the luggage compartment
lid.
In an emergency, remove the triangle and
unfold its stand legs. Place the triangle in
the road in accordance with local traffic
regulations to give oncoming traffic
warning of an im
mobilised vehicle.
Hazard warning lights must be used with
the warning triangle.

6 - 6 Roadside Emergency
Wheel Changing and
Jacking
Be prepared for a flat tyre. Know where
equipment is stowed and read the wheel
changing and jacking instructions
carefully. Keep the jack screw threads
clean and greased to ensure it is always
ready for an emergency.
Park off the road, clear of all traffic and
on as level, solid ground as possible.
Switch on hazard warning lights and,
where legally required, display the
warning triangle.
!WARNING:
It can be dangerous to change a
wheel when the vehicle is on a slope
or soft, uneven ground.
Temporary-use Spare Wheel
Note: Maintenance information for the
temporary-use spare wheel is the same as
given for normal tyres.
Observe the following warnings before
using the wheel:
!WARNING:
1. Please note th e temporary-use
spare wheel warning label on the
wheel. Adhere to instructions on
the label. Failure to comply can be
dangerous.
2. When a temporary spare wheel is fitted, drive with caution and
replace with the specified wheel
and tyre as soon as possible.
3. Do not fit more than one temporary-use spare wheel and
tyre assembly at a time.
4. The temporary-use spare wheel must be inflated to the correct
pressure.
5. Temporary-use spare wheel maximum speed is 80 km/h
(50 mph).

6 - 12 Roadside Emergency
Transporter tie-down procedure
!WARNING:
Avoid body contact with a hot
exhaust pipe when securing the
vehicle to the transporter.
IMPORTANT – Use straps over the
wheels/tyres only, to secure the vehicle to
the transporter.
Caution: Do not use the tie-down
brackets on the vehicle rear
underbody; these are for Jaguar
factory use only. In time, with the
engine switched off, the vehicle body
will drop due to settling of the air
suspension system and cause the tie-
down chains/straps to become slack if
connected to these brackets.
The towing eye is not designed for
securing the vehicle during
transportation. Vehicle failure
The removable towing eye is primarily for
emergency use when towing for SHORT
DISTANCES, e.g. removing the vehicle if it
is causing an obstruct
ion or for winching
the vehicle onto a re covery transporter.
To prevent damage to the automatic
transmission whilst the vehicle is being
towed with the rear wheels on the
ground, towing distance must be
restricted to 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometres).
Towing speed must not exceed 30 mph
(48 km/h).
Always obey towing regulations.
In certain countries the registration
number of the towing vehicle and an
‘ON TOW’ sign or warning triangle must
be displayed in a prominent position at
the rear of the vehicle being towed. When being towed, the gear selector
lever must be in neutral (position ‘N’)
with the ignition key turned to
position ‘II’ to release the steering lock
and render the indicators, horn and
brake lights operational.
!WARNING:
When the engine is not running the
steering and brakes will no longer be
power-assisted.
Therefore, be prepared for relatively
heavy steering and the need for
greatly increased brake pedal
pressure.
