Door Mirrors
Both door mirrors are adjusted from the
driver’s door switchpack.
The four-way adjustment button (A)
moves the mirrors to the required
position. The selector switch ( B) selects
the mirror to be moved, left for the
left-hand side mirror and right for the
right-hand side mirror. When the selector
switch is in the centre position,
adjustment to either mirror is inhibited.
The mirror housings are designed to pivot
against the vehicle upon impact.
To return the mirror to its normal
position, manually re position the housing
until it locks into place.
At night, the approach lamps in the door
mirrors also switch on automatically
when reverse is selected.
Mirror heating
The door mirrors have heating elements
which work when the rear screen heater
is switched ON. The mirror heater will
clear all ice from the mirror surface.
Caution: Do not use a scraper to
remove ice from the mirrors as this
will damage the surface. Door mirrors – power foldback
To assist parking by reducing the overall
vehicle width, this optional feature
enables the door mirrors to be folded
back. Press button (
C) to fold the mirrors
inwards and press again to return the
mirrors to their normal driving position.
Do not attempt to re position powerfold
manually. Always use the button.
Electrochromic door mirrors
The switch on the interior mirror controls
the electrochromic function for both door
and interior mirrors. Impact to door mirrors
If a door mirror is knocked out of position
the mirror head will be loose.
To re-engage the mechanism, power the
mirror to the foldback position, then
outwards to the drive position.
Caution: If door mirrors have been
folded against the vehicle due to an
impact:
• Reposition power foldback
mirrors using the door switches.
• Reposition non- power foldback
mirrors manually.
Mirror dip when reversing
Note: Vehicles are not normally
delivered with this feature but it can be
fitted by your Retailer.
When reverse gear is selected, one or
both door mirrors incline downwards to
provide a close up view of the rear side
areas.
When the gear selector is moved out of
reverse, the mirrors return to their
original positions.

Occupant Protection
Seat Belts
The use of front and rear seat belts is
mandatory in most countries. Using seat
belts saves lives. They should be worn by
all occupants whenever the vehicle is in
use, for maximum protection.
Lap/shoulder inertia reel seat belts are
provided for both front occupants and
three rear seat positions.
The inertia operating mechanism of the
seat belts allows the wearers to move
their upper bodies to reach various
controls. The seat belts lock automatically
with accelerated body movement or in
the event of emergency braking.
The seat belt assemblies incorporate
additional safety devices. All have belt
pretensioners and the front belts also
have force limiters. These devices provide
increased protection in the event of a
severe frontal impact.
The pretensioners operate with the air
bags as part of the Advanced Restraints
Technology System (see page 3 - 14). All passenger seat belt mechanisms
incorporate an automatic locking device
to allow child seats to be secured safely.
Forchild safety seepage3-23.
Comfort belts are fitted to both individual
electrically operated rear seats. They are
also fitted to the outer seats only on the
electrically operated rear bench seat.
These belts incorporate a twin tension
facility. When the belt is buckled around
the occupant, a reduced tension is
applied to provide a more comfortable
fitting. When the belt is unfastened,
a higher tension is applied to allow it to
retract correctly.
Beltminder
The Beltminder feature is a supplemental
warning to the seat belt warning function
(see page 4 - 6). 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 lamp in the instrument
cluster.
Note:
Not all countries have the warning
chime. Front belt height adjustment
To adjust the front seat belt heights, press
the locking button and slide the
anchorage so that the seat belt webbing
passes over the shoulder without pulling
against the neck. Release the button and
check that the anchorage point is locked.
Always check the anchorage point after
the seat has been adjusted to ensure that
the belt is correctly positioned.
3 - 12 Before Driving
Seat belt fitting
!WARNING:
Do not adjust the seat belt while
driving.
Draw the tongue of the seat belt over the
shoulder, across the chest and push it
into the buckle unit slot. A positive ‘click’
indicates that it is safely locked.
Comfort clips or devices that create slack
in the seat belts are not recommended. Ensure that the webbing is midway
between the neck and the edge of the
shoulder. Correct tension is controlled by
automatic retraction of the reel.
A warning light on the instrument panel
is illuminated when the driver’s seat belt
is not fastened.
Note:
If the vehicle is parked on unlevel
ground, the seat belt mechanism may
lock. This is not a fault, gently ease the
belt from its attachment to unlock it.
Before Driving 3 - 13
Inertia reel mechanism check
Static test: Whilst seated, fasten the seat
belt and grip the shoulder belt at
approximately shoulder level with the
opposite hand. Pull the belt sharply
downwards, the belt should lock.
Road test: The following road test must
be carried out only under maximum safe
road conditions.
With the seat belt correctly fitted to the
driver and passenger(s), drive the vehicle
at 5 mph (8 km/h) and, ensuring that it is
safe to do so, brake sharply.
The seat belt(s) should lock automatically,
holding both driver and passenger(s)
securely in position.
It is important when braking that the
reactions of both driver and passenger(s)
are normal, that is, the body must not be
thrown forward in anticipation, thus
causing a snatching action of the belt
which would operate the locking
mechanism.
If the belt fails to lock on either test,
consult a Jaguar Retailer.
!WARNING:
1. Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the
body. The lap section of the belt
must be worn low across the front
of the pelvis and NOT across the
abdominal area. Always ensure
that the webbing is midway
between the neck and the edge of
the shoulder.
2. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing
with polishes, oils and chemicals,
and particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried out
using mild soap and water.
If webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated or damaged,
discard it and fit a new seat belt.
3. It is essential to renew the entire assembly after it has been worn in
a severe impact even if damage to
the assembly is not obvious. 4. Belts should not be worn with the
webbing twisted.
5. Each seat belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is
dangerous to put a seat belt
around a child being carried on
the occupant’s lap.
6. No modifications or additions s h o u l d b e m a d e b y t h e u s e r w h i c h
will prevent the seat belt adjusting
devices from operating.
7. Should the seat belt not retract and remain at its static length,
consult your nearest Jaguar
Retailer immediately.
Before Driving 3 - 25
Securing child restraints with an
adult seat belt
All passenger seat belts (not the driver’s)
have an automatic locking device for use
with child seats.
If engaged, this device allows the belt to
be retracted (tightened) but not pulled
out. When used to secure a child seat,
therefore, the belt will automatically lock
at any point to which it has retracted.
Always ensure that child restraint
assemblies are fitted in strict accordance
with the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions. Keep the fitting instructions
for future reference.
The following checks should always be
carried out:
• Fit the child seat in the correct position and secure with the seat belt
in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
If necessary, remove the headrest to
accommodate a larger child seat.
• Pull the seat belt all the way out to engage the locking device.
• Make sure the child seat is fitted firmly to the car seat. There should
not be excessive forward or sideways
movement. • To fix the seat firm
ly, retract the belt
back onto the reel; a ratchet
operation may be felt as the belt
retracts. Continue to pay the belt back
onto the reel until it fits snugly around
the child seat.
• Regularly check and refit the child seat to ensure there is no slack in the
installation.
• The seat belt must not be twisted and
the buckle must not rest on the child
seat frame, as it may snap open in an
accident.
• Never modify the seat, or install it differently to the instructions.
The above is a guide only. Depending on
the features of a particular child seat,
e.g. forward or rearwa rd-facing, engage
the locking device before or after
attaching the belt, as convenient.
Unbuckling the belt and releasing the
child seat will allow th e belt to resume its
normal operation.
Always secure an unoccupied child seat
safely. In an accident an unsecured child
seat may pose a risk to the vehicle
occupants. Safe use of child restraints
!WARNING:
The top tether anchor point must
always be used to secure forward-
facing child seats (see page 3 - 29).
Ensure that there is no slack in the
webbing and that the restraints fits the
child snugly across the rib cage and hips.
These are the parts of the body most able
to take the force of an impact.
• Ensure the path and position of an integral harness across the shoulders
is appropriate for your child’s
development – consult the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• The lap strap should pass across the top of the child’s thighs, bearing on
the pelvis, not the abdominal area.
• Adjust the harness every time so that one or two fingers only can be
inserted between the child and the
harness. Different clothing on a child
can make a difference to the correct
fitting of the harness.
• Make sure that the webbing is not twisted.
