Protect the Environment
We must all play our part in protecting
the environment. Correct vehicle usage
and disposal of waste cleaning and
lubrication materials are significant steps
towards this aim.
Avoid using high engine speeds. You will
then protect your engine, reduce fuel
consumption, lower the engine noise
level and help towards reducing the
environmental burden.
Dispose of batteries, tyres, engine, brake
and coolant fluids at your local
authorised waste disposal facilities.
Window Tinting
!WARNING:
Do not have your vehicle windows
tinted with a metal oxide tinting (for
maximum heat reduction from sun
load).
Metal oxide tinting prevents the
reception of the Global Positioning
Satellite (GPS) signals by the antenna
causing the navigation system to stop
functioning.
Metal oxide tinting also prevents the
reception of the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) signals by the antenna, causing
reduced operation of the arming/
disarming/locking/unlocking system of the
vehicle.
A non-metal tinting should be used if you
require window tinting and if in doubt,
contact your Jaguar Retailer for advice.
Window marking
It is a worthwhile precaution to have the
vehicle registration number etched into
each window glass by a Jaguar Retailer.
Mobile/Portable
Telephones
!WARNING:
Using a mobile/portable telephone
without an exterior antenna is not
recommended when driving as the
electro-magnetic fields produced can
cause malfunctions with the vehicle
electronic systems.
Check the laws and regulations on the
use of cellular telephones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them. Also,
give full attention to driving.
Use hands-free operation (if fitted) and
pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call, if driving conditions
so require.
Climate Control 5 - 3
5 Climate Control
Introduction
The cabin is supplied with filtered air
from a fully automatic electronic climate
control system with manual overrides.
Two systems are available:
• A two zone system which allows the front occupants to set individual
temperatures for the left and right
sides of the interior.
• A four zone system which allows front and rear occupants to set individual
temperatures, i.e. two front zones and
two rear zones.
Occupant controls
The main climate control panel is located
in the centre console above the radio and
audio controls. There are two types of
control panel for either two or four zone
systems:
• A dedicated control panel with LCD (liquid crystal display) screen
(see page 5 - 6).
• A multi-function touch control and display unit shared with navigation
and other systems. Where this control
unit is fitted, refer to the Jaguar
Touch-screen Handbook for the
detailed operating instructions. Where the four zone climate control
system is fitted, an additional control/
display panel for rear passenger use is
located at the rear of the centre console,
between the front seats.
Voice control
The climate control system may also be
operated by spoken commands if the
optional voice activation system is fitted.
For full information on the use of this
system refer to the JaguarVoice
Handbook.
Recommended Operation
Automatic climate control
Automatic climate control provides
efficient regulation of the vehicle
environment without constant
adjustments from the occupant.
Sensors inside the vehicle monitor
temperature, humidity and direct
sunlight. In response, the electronic
control system automatically adjusts the
heat input, blower speed, air intake and
airflow distribution so as to maintain the
selected temperature(s) and reduce
misting.
Automatic operation provides optimum
comfort under most driving conditions. It is recommended that automatic
control (AUTO) is selected as the
normal operating mode.
Use of air conditioning
Air conditioning is an integral part of the
climate control system, providing cooled
and dehumidified
air for occupant
comfort; the dry airflow is also effective
in preventing misting of the windows.
While the air conditioner can be
manually switched off, it is recommended
that it is used in all climatic conditions
throughout the year, preferably in AUTO
mode.
Close all windows and the sunroof when
the air conditioning is on to ensure
satisfactory operation.
Use of air recirculation
The air conditioner/heater system is
supplied with fresh air via an intake flap.
Closing the flap causes the air inside the
vehicle to be recirculated. This helps to
prevent unpleasant odours from being
drawn into the vehicle and also to
improve the performance of the air
conditioner in very hot conditions.
However, the use of recirculated air will
cause screen misting after a short period
and should only be used as necessary.
