1 - 8 Owner Information
Regular Servicing
Each vehicle is given a full ‘Pre-Delivery
Inspection’ to ensure that all systems
function correctly and that the vehicle
meets its specification.
Owners are responsible for the regular
maintenance and servicing of the vehicle.
Jaguar Retailers will be pleased to arrange
periodic servicing and can provide you
with details of tasks carried out at each
service interval.
Failure to implement maintenance at the
recommended interval s could result in
deterioration of vehicle performance and
possible infringement of regulations.
Regular routine maintenance not only
helps to prevent unnecessary
‘breakdowns’ and inconvenience,
but enhances the ‘trade in’ or resale
value of the vehicle.
Failure to perform regular maintenance at
the correct interval may void the factory
warranty.
USA and Canada
Jaguar Retailers will arrange for
appointments on a mileage/kilometre or
time interval basis to ensure that all
routine and corrective maintenance work
is undertaken and recorded in the
‘Passport to Service’ Booklet. This booklet
not only contains a record of vital
information, but also information about
warranties, Jaguar Cars, Jaguar Car Clubs,
Tyre Manufacturers and change of
ownership or address vouchers.
Mexico
Jaguar Retailers will arrange for
appointments on a mileage/distance or
time interval basis to ensure that all
routine and corrective maintenance work
is undertaken and recorded in the Service
Record and Warranty Book. This booklet
not only contains a record of vital
information, but also information about
warranty and a change of ownership
card.
Jaguar Diagnostic System
Many of the vehicle systems are
controlled by complex electronic devices.
Specialist equipment is required to trace
and rectify faults in the systems and
ensure that only faulty components are
repaired or renewed.
Caution: Severe damage to the
electrical system and electronic
components can occur if any attempt
is made to diagnose faults in the
electrical system using conventional
diagnostic equipment (for example;
the use of test lamps or low
impedance voltmeters ). The fitting of
any electrical accessory should only
be entrusted to a Jaguar Retailer.

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.

3. Carry out Step 3 of programming the vehicle, see column 1.

3 - 22 Before Driving
Driving Position
!WARNING:
Driver and front seat passenger
should always move their seats as far
rearwards as is practical.
Ideally, drivers should sit with at least
10 inches (25.4 cm) between the centre
of their breastbone and the cover of the
steering wheel air bag.
Since the risk zone at the time of
deployment is the first 2 to 3 inches
(5.5 cm – 7.5 cm) from the air bag cover,
sitting back 10 inches (25.4 cm) provides
a clear margin of safety. Very few drivers
are unable to achieve and maintain that
safety gap. The vast majority of drivers who do not
now sit that far back can change their
position and achieve that distance.
• If adjustable pedals are fitted, move
them towards the seat.
• Move your seat back as far as you can while still comfortably reaching the
pedals.
• Recline the back of your seat one or two notches from the upright
position. If reclining the back of your
seat makes it hard to see the road,
raise the seat.
• Tilt the steering wheel/column downwards so as to point the air bag
at your chest instead of your head and
neck. Adjust the steering wheel/
column fore/aft so that it extends
towards the driver as little as possible,
ensuring that the air bag has plenty of
room to deploy.
• Sit in the centre of the seat with the head as close to the head restraint as
possible. Note:
Seat, steering wheel and pedal
adjustment controls are described
elsewhere in this section.

4-12 On the Road
Message Centre
Driver information, messages and data
are displayed on the message centre
display panel situated within the
instrument cluster.
For the message centre to operate the
ignition must be switched ON
(position ‘II’).
The primary function of the message
centre is to inform the driver of the
following:
• Warning messages.
• Temporary alert messages.
• Information messages.The message centre displays:
• The total distance covered by the
vehicle.
• Trip computer information.
• Warning messages if system faults are detected.
• Status messages to indicate changes in
state of certain vehicle functions.
Messages
!WARNING:
If a red warning light is displayed,
investigate immediately and,
if necessary, stop the vehicle as soon
as possible but only when it is safe to
do so.
Most messages, when displayed, have an
associated warning light, red or amber,
above the display which will come on to
indicate the message priority.
If more than one message is active, each
is displayed in turn for two seconds in
order of priority.
Messages take priority over the odometer
reading or trip computer data and,
if active, will be displayed when the
ignition is switched ON. Message centre illumination
The message centre is lit at all times when
the ignition is ON, and message
brightness is controlled by the dimmer
switch.
All information displayed will be brightly
lit if the exterior light switch is OFF.
Note:
Warning lights are always brightly
lit and are not affected by the dimmer
switch.
Language Selection
The displayed language can be changed
to another language, if required.
Press the ML/km button on the trip
computer switchpack and whilst pressing,
turn on the ignition to position ‘II’.
Now press the ML/km button, each press
will display a different language.
When the desired language is shown,
press the A/B button. After three seconds
the new language will be displayed for
every message.
Note: If you wish to exit the language
changing procedure and keep the original
language, do not press the A/B button but
wait 10 seconds or turn the ignition off.

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.

On the Road 4 - 53
When a vehicle ahead enters the same
lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the
same lane, the vehicle speed will be
adjusted automatically until the gap to
the vehicle ahead corresponds to the
preset gap. The vehicle is now in ‘follow
mode’.The warning light in the
instrument cluster will be
illuminated,
and the message centre
will display the gap set.
The vehicle will then maintain the
constant time gap to the vehicle ahead
until:
• The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed above the set speed.
• The vehicle ahead moves out of lane or out of view.
• The vehicle ahead slows so that ‘low speed automatic switch off’ occurs.
• A new gap distance is set.
If necessary, the vehicle brakes will be
automatically applied to slow the vehicle
to maintain the gap to the vehicle in
front. The maximum braking which is applied
by the ACC system is limited and can be
overridden by the driver applying the
brakes, if required.
Note:
Driver braking will cancel adaptive
cruise control.
If the ACC system predicts that its
maximum braking level will not be
sufficient, then an audible warning will
sound while the ACC continues to brake.
This is accompanied by a red warning
light and ‘DRIVER INTERVENE’ will be
displayed on the message centre.
The driver should take IMMEDIATE
action.
When in follow mode the vehicle will
automatically return to the set speed
when the road ahead is clear, for instance
when:
• The vehicle in front accelerates or changes lane.
• The driver changes lane to either side or enters an exit lane.
The driver should intervene if
appropriate.
Low speed automatic switch off
If the speed of the vehicle decreases
below 18 mph (30 km/h), the ACC system
will be automatically switched OFF and
the instrument warning lamp will go out. If the brakes were
being applied by the
ACC system, they will be slowly released.
This will be accompanied by an audible
warning, a red warning light and ‘DRIVER
INTERVENE’ will be displayed on the
message centre. The driver must take
control.
Overriding the set speed/follow mode
!WARNING:
Whenever the driver is overriding the
ACC by depressing the accelerator
pedal, the ACC will not automatically
apply the brakes to maintain
separation from any vehicle ahead.
The set speed and gap can be overridden
by pressing the accelerator pedal when
cruising at constant speed or in follow
mode. If the vehicle is in follow mode,
the instrument warning lamp will go out
when the ACC is overridden by the driver
using the accelera tor and ‘CRUISE
OVERRIDE’ will be displayed on the
message centre. When the accelerator is
released the ACC function will operate
again and vehicle speed will decrease to
the set speed, or a lower speed if follow
mode is active.
