Changing the set speed
There are three ways to change the set
speed:
1. Accelerate or brake to the required speed and press the ‘SET +’ button.
2. Increase or decrease the speed by pressing and holding either the
‘SET +’ or ‘–’ button until the required
set speed is shown on the message
centre. The vehicle speed will
gradually change to the selected
speed.
3. Increase or decrease the speed in steps of 1 mph (2 km/h) by briefly
pressing the ‘SET +’ or ‘–’ button.
ACC operates between approximately
20 mph and 110 mph (34 km/h and
180 km/h) dependent on the country
specification.
Set speeds outside this range will not be
captured.
The ACC may apply the brakes to slow
down the vehicle to the new set speed.
The new set speed will be displayed on
the message centre for four seconds after
it has been changed. Changing the gap
The gap from the vehicle ahead can be
decreased or increased by pressing the
gap setting rocker switch on the steering
wheel. Four gaps are available and the
selected gap setting will be displayed on
the message centre when the rocker
switch is pressed. After the ignition is
switched ON the default gap will be
automatically selected ready for ACC
operation.
Note:
It is the driver’s responsibility to
select a gap appropriate to the driving
conditions, and in accordance with
national driving regulations.
ACC automatic switch off
Adaptive cruise control will disengage,
but not clear the memory when:
• The CANCEL button is pressed.
• The brake pedal is pressed.
• The vehicle speed falls below 18 mph (30 km/h).
• Neutral, Park or Reverse gear positions are selected.
• The parkbrake is applied.
• DSC is activated. Adaptive cruise control will disengage,
and clear the memory when:
• The ignition switch is set to
position ‘0’.
• Maximum vehicle speed is reached.
• A fault occurs in the ACC system.
Resuming the set speed/follow mode
By pressing the RESUME button after ACC
has been cancelled, for example, after
braking, the ACC will become active
again provided that the set speed
memory has not been erased. The set
speed will be displayed for four seconds
and the original set speed will be
resumed, unless a vehicle ahead causes
the follow mode to become active.
Caution: ‘RESUME’ should only be
used if the driver is aware of the set
speed and intends to return to it.

4-58 On the Road
Vehicle Suspension
This vehicle is fitted with a fully
automatic air suspension system.
It ensures that the vehicle is always at the
correct ride height with varying load
conditions, including luggage
compartment load or when towing.
The system will automatically adjust the
amount of air in the springs to level the
vehicle. Air is supplied either from an air
reservoir or a compressor.
The compressor will run periodically to
refill the reservoir.
Changes in ambient temperature will also
have an effect on vehicle height when the
vehicle is parked.
Caution:
1. Do not overload the vehicle. Vehicle load weights are shown
on page 8 - 4.
2. A slight air loss is expected over time causing the vehicle to lower,
so do not store or place anything
under the vehicle if it is to be left
for an extended period. Speed lowering
When driving at motorway speeds,
the system will lower the vehicle to
improve aerodynamics and vehicle
stability. The suspension will
automatically return the vehicle to the
normal height when the vehicle slows.
Caution: Speed lowering is
undesirable when towing.
Only Jaguar approved towing
equipment will not allow this feature.
Warning messages
If the message ‘VEHICLE TOO LOW’ is
displayed when the ignition is switched
on, start the engine and wait for the
suspension to raise. The vehicle should
not be driven until the message is
cleared.
If the message ‘VEHICLE TOO LOW’ is
displayed when driv
ing, restrict the
vehicle speed and wait for the system to
regain the correct height and the message
will then clear. If the message is displayed
frequently, it is advisable to inform your
Retailer to have the system attended to.
If the message ‘AIR SUSPENSION FAULT’
is displayed at any time, drive with
caution. Have the vehicle checked by a
Retailer at the earliest opportunity.
Note: If your vehicle needs to be
recovered by a roadside emergency
service ensure that the vehicle is securely
lashed by the wheels and NOT the body.

4-60 On the Road
Use of Headlamps In Daylight
When visibility is poor the headlamps
with dipped beam setting should be
switched on so that the vehicle may be
seen more easily by other road users.
The instrument illumination dimmer
control adjusts the brightness of the panel
lighting.
Engine Oil Consumption
A certain amount of oil consumption is
normal. The rate of consumption will
depend on the following:
• The quality and viscosity of the oil.
• The amount of oxidation and dilution of the oil.
• Climatic conditions.
• The speed at which the engine is being operated.
• Road conditions.
Drivers should expect above normal
consumption when the engine is new,
and after running-in if high speeds are
sustained.
Winter Driving
Freeing a frozen door lock
Caution: Do not ap ply a proprietary
lock de-icer through the keyhole.
Should the lock beco me frozen, warm the
end of the key before use.
Windscreen wiper blades
Before driving away, clear any ice from
the windscreen and check that the wiper
blades are free. Switching on the heated
screen will accelerate this process.
The heated wiper park, if fitted, will come
on automatically.
Frost precautions
The correct concentration of coolant
must be maintained at all times when
‘topping up’ or ‘refilling’ the cooling
system.
Parking the Vehicle
When leaving the vehicle, remember the
following:
• Whenever the vehicle is being parked, apply the parkbrake and move the
gear selector to Park ‘P’.
• Do not leave children or pets in the vehicle unattended.
• Do not leave luggage or valuables on view. Always take your valuables with
you or lock them in the luggage
compartment.
• Remove the ignition key and spare keys, even when the vehicle is in your
garage.
• When the vehicle is unoccupied, close
all windows and lock all doors
securely.
• Park the vehicle where it can be seen. At night, park in a well-lit area.
• Ensure that the keys and the key transmitters are removed from the
vehicle before locking the doors,
and that all doors, the luggage
compartment and the hood are
closed.

Fuel and Refuelling
Before refuelling, switch off the ignition
and remove the key.
Note:Do not leave the ignition key in the
vehicle; vehicles have been stolen from
garage service/filling stations whilst the
driver is absent from the vehicle. It is
recommended that the vehicle is locked,
if left unattended.
Caution: No additives of any kind
(fuel or oil) must be put into the fuel
tank. Additives could reduce engine
life or affect exhaust emissions.
!WARNING:
1. Fuel vapour is highly flammable and in confined spaces is
explosive and toxic. In the event
of inadvertent spillage, and before
refuelling, always switch OFF the
engine. Do not use exposed flame
or light. Do not smoke. Do not
inhale fumes.
2. Do not fill the tank so that fuel is visible in the fuel filler intake
tube. This could cause spillage
and danger from exposed fuel.
Fuel Tank Filling
Caution: Your vehicle is fitted with
catalytic converters and must only be
filled with ‘Unleaded Fuel’.
The fuel filler flap release switch is
located in the knee bolster switchpack
below the fascia. The fi ller flap is on the
right-hand side of the vehicle.
A small arrow is shown on the fuel gauge
as a reminder on which side of the
vehicle the fuel filler flap is located. Open the fuel filler flap and turn the filler
cap anti-clockwise, a ¼ turn until
resistance is felt. Continue turning to
release the cap from the filler neck.
The cap is held by a retaining strap and
can be stowed over the hook on the flap
to allow easy access to fill the tank.
A warning label on the inside of the fuel
filler flap advises type/grade of fuel.

Inertia Switch
In the event of an accident, the inertia switch may trip
(depending on the severity an d type of impact), isolating
operation of the fuel pump. Once the switch has tripped it must
be reset before attempting to restart the engine.
The inertia switch is located behind the trim on the left-hand
side of the vehicle, forward of the front door post, below the
fascia. A finger access hole in the trim allows the driver to reset
the switch.
Resetting the Switch
!WARNING:
To avoid the possibility of fire or personal injury, do not
reset the inertia switch if you see or smell fuel.
If no fuel leak is apparent, reset the inertia switch as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to position ‘0’.

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.
