2004 JAGUAR XJ Trunk

2 - 12 Security and Locks
Luggage Compartment (Trunk)
The luggage compartment is locked and
unlocked electrically in conjunction with
the doors.
Neither the luggage compartment lid
release switch on the fascia nor the lid
release button will operate whilst the
vehicle is armed or in valet mode.
An attempt to operate these switches
whilst in valet mode will result in an
audible warning chime. To open the luggage compartment,
use any of the methods that follow:
• Press the luggage compartment lid
release switch ( A), which is located on
the fascia switchpack. This switch will
not operate if the vehicle speed
exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h).
• Press the luggage compartment button ( B) on the key transmitter.
Note: Button ( B) will only operate with
the gear selector in ‘Park’. • Insert a key into the luggage
compartment lock ( C), however,
opening with the key when the
vehicle is armed will cause the alarm
system to start warning tones for
seven seconds.
Should this occur, press the
transmitter unlock button, or place
the key in the ignition to disarm the
alarm system, otherwise after seven
seconds the vehicle alarm will sound.
• With the vehicle unlocked, press the release button ( D) on the luggage
compartment lid. The button will not
operate unless ‘park’ or ‘neutral’
have been selected and the vehicle is
unlocked.
The luggage compartment locks
automatically when the lid is closed.

Security and Locks 2 - 17
Security Features
The security system has been designed
for:
• Prevention of theft of the vehicle.
• Prevention of theft of items from the vehicle.
• Personal security.
The security system is integrated with the
vehicle electronics and engine
management systems making it far more
difficult for a thief to penetrate and steal
the vehicle.
Panic Alarm (if enabled)
When in or near the vehicle, the alarm
can be set off to dete r a possible offender.
For this feature to operate, the key must
not be in the ignition switch.
Pressing the headlamp convenience/panic
button on the key transmitter three times
within three seconds will activate the
‘Panic Alarm’.
The alarm is stopped by:
• Putting the key into the ignition switch and turning to position ‘II’.
Note:
1. The key transmitter cannot be used to cancel the Panic alarm. This prevents
unauthorised cancellation in an
emergency.
2. The panic alarm is normally enabled. If required, this feature can be
disabled or enabled by a Jaguar
Retailer.
3. The vehicle locking status will not change when the panic alarm is
activated.
Passive Arming (Retailer
Option)
Passive arming wi ll not lock the
doors, it only arms the security alarm
system.
Passive arming, if enabled by a Jaguar
Retailer, will automatically arm the
vehicle alarm system 30 seconds after the
last protected entry (door, luggage
compartment) is closed following the key
being removed from th e ignition switch.
When passive arming occurs the direction
indicators will flash once and a single
tone will be heard (if enabled). The red
security light on the fascia will start to
flash and will continue for as long as the
alarm is armed.
Opening the drivers door causes a
warning sound which continues for
15 seconds before the system goes into
the full alarm state. If any other door is
opened before the drivers door,
the system goes into the full alarm state
immediately.
When the system is pa ssively armed and a
key is used to open the trunk, a seven
second warning audible ticking will
sound before the full alarm is activated.

Luggage Compartment Emergency Release
Your vehicle is equipped with a mechanical interior luggage
compartment release handle that provides a means of escape
for children and adults in the event they become locked inside
the luggage compartment.
Adults are advised to familiaris e themselves with the operation
and location of the release handle.
To open the luggage compartment lid from the inside, pull the
illuminated ‘T’ shaped handle and push up the trunk lid.
The material that the handle is made of will glow for hours in
the darkness of the luggage compartment following brief
exposure to ambient light.
!WARNING:
1. Keep vehicle doors and the luggage compartment locked and keep keys out of a child’s reach.
Unsupervised children could lock themselves in an
open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught
not to play in vehicles.
2. On hot days, the temperature in the luggage compartment and vehicle interior can rise very
quickly. Exposure of people or animals to these high
temperatures for even a short time can cause death or
serious heat-related injuries, including brain damage.
Small children are particularly at risk.

6 - 4 Roadside Emergency
Trunk Underfloor Access
The space under the trunk floor houses
the spare wheel, battery, jack and rear
fuse box.
To raise the floor panel, press down the
rear of handle (A) then, holding the
handle at the front, swing the floor panel
upwards ( B). Hook the handle securely
over the top edge of the trunk
opening ( C).
Emergency Starting
This vehicle is fitted with automatic
transmission. In the event of a discharged
battery preventing a normal engine start,
the vehicle cannot be started by pushing
or towing. Either use jump leads
connected to a booster battery (e.g. on
another vehicle) or fit a fully charged
battery (see page 7 - 15).
Emergency Starting Using
Jump Leads
Both the booster and discharged battery
should be treated with great care when
using jump leads. Al ways use high quality
leads capable of carrying the starter
current of the vehicle to be started.
Before commencing, the following
precautions must be taken:
• When the battery of another vehicle is being used, ensure that the vehicles
do not touch. Alternatively, remove
the charged battery and place near to,
not on, the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
• Ensure that both vehicles have all electrical services OFF,
the parkbrakes applied and the
transmission in the ‘P’ (park) position.
• Where the jump leads are of a different colour, e.g. red and black,
use red for positive (+). This aids
identification and helps to avoid
crossing positive (+) to negative (–).
Take extra care to avoid crossing the
polarity when using cables of the
same colour.

Roadside Emergency 6 - 5
Caution:
1. If using a jump start vehicle, under no circumstances should the
vehicles come into contact with
each other. This could establish an
earth connection, which may
cause sparks and damage.
2. Do not run the engine of the jump start vehicle when boost starting a
Jaguar vehicle. If the jump start
vehicle’s engine is running and
the jump leads ar e disconnected,
damage to the Jaguar vehicle’s
electrical system will result.
3. The booster battery voltage must not exceed 12 volts.
The procedure must be followed exactly,
being careful not to cause sparks:
1. Unclip the battery positive (+) terminal cover.
2. Attach one end of the red jump lead to the positive (+) terminal of the
booster battery and the other end to
the positive (+) terminal of the
discharged battery. Make sure that a
good connection is made.
Caution: Do not connect the negative
jump lead directly to the negative (–)
terminal of the discharged vehicle. 3. Attach one end of the black jump lead
to the negative (–) terminal of the
booster battery and the other end to
the earth stud on the left-hand side of
the spare wheel well.
4. Start the engine.
5. When started, allow the engine to idle for five minutes before disconnecting
the cables.
6. Disconnect the black jump lead from the earth point and the booster battery
negative (–) terminal. 7. Disconnect the red jump lead from the
positive (+) terminals of both
batteries.
8. Refit the cover to the positive (+) terminal.
9. Close the trunk floor panel.
After starting the engine, it may be
necessary to reset th e electric parkbrake
as described on page 4 - 34. See also After
battery reconnection on page 7 - 16.

6 - 8 Roadside Emergency
Spare Wheel and Jack Removal
!WARNING:
Wheels are extremely heavy.
Take care when lifting and
particularly when removing and
replacing a wheel in its storage
position in the luggage compartment.
The spare wheel and jacking equipment
are stored under the trunk floor panel.
Seepage6-4.
To remove the spare wheel, fully unscrew
the locking ring ( A). Unscrew the wing
nut below the locking ring. This allows
wheel retainer ( B) to be lifted and
removed. The wheel can now be lifted
out.
