Interior Rear View Mirror
The interior rear view mirror is of the 
electrochromic type but electrochromic 
operation may be switched on or off at 
the mirror.
When switched on, the mirror darkens 
automatically to prevent glare from a 
following vehicle’s headlamps, and clears 
when light levels return to normal or 
when reverse gear is selected.
Electrochromic door mirrors are operated 
in conjunction with the interior mirror by 
the same buttons an d function in the 
same manner.
Note:
1. Should a mirror assembly become  detached from the windscreen, it must 
be refitted by a Jaguar Retailer.
2. Ensure that the windscreen in front of  the mirror is kept clean. Where fitted, 
the moisture sensor for wiper 
operation is located to the front of the 
mirror casing. Any dirt may affect the 
operation of this sensor. Electronic road toll systems
If you have an E-ZPass or other electronic 
road toll transponder, it is advisable to 
mount the transmitter 
on the windscreen 
about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the mirror 
mount and headlining and to the side of 
the mirror ensuring that it does not cover 
the forward-facing light sensor. This also 
keeps it away from any metal which may 
affect it’s operation.
Do not move the tag more often than 
need be as it can affect the calibration of 
the compass.
Electrochromic operation
To switch on, press the MIRROR button. 
An LED lights up to indicate that 
automatic operation is selected.
Press again to switch off. Compass operation
When switched on, the compass display 
on the right-hand side of the mirror 
surface shows the direction the vehicle is 
pointing. Eight main directions can be 
displayed, e.g. ‘N’ for north, ‘SW’ for 
south west.
To switch on:
 Press the COMP button. 
Press again to switch off. 

Before Driving 3 - 15
Various sensors determine the direction 
and severity of an impact and the 
presence and position of front seat 
occupants.
The system analyses this information then 
deploys the appropriate air bags only 
e.g. the side air bags where the impact is 
on that side only.
Air bags are not deployed in a rear 
impact.
Air bag deployment
To do their life-saving job, air bags must 
inflate rapidly and with considerable 
force. There is therefore a risk of death or 
serious injuries such as fractures, facial 
and eye injuries or internal injuries, 
particularly to occupants who are not 
properly restrained by seats belt or sitting 
correctly when the air bag deploys.
The risk of injury fr om a deploying air bag 
is greatest close to the trim covering the 
air bag.
The whole sequence of events from 
sensing the impact to full inflation of the 
bag takes place in a fraction of a second.
The noise and gas associated with the 
deployment of the air bags is not 
injurious to health. After air bag deployme
nt, it is normal to 
notice a smoke-like, powdery residue or 
smell the burnt propellant. This may 
consist of cornstarch, talcum powder or 
sodium compounds that result from the 
combustion process that inflates the air 
bag.
Small amounts of other chemicals may be 
present which may irri tate the skin and 
eyes, but none of the residue is toxic.
While the system is designed to help 
reduce serious injuries, it may also cause 
minor burns, abrasions, swelling or 
temporary hearing loss.
!WARNING:
1. No objects whatso ever should be 
attached to the centre cover of the 
steering wheel, the passenger 
fascia panel, the sides of the front 
seats or the interior trim 
immediately above the door 
openings. Do not put anything on 
or over the air bag inflation area. 
Placing objects on or over the air 
bag inflation area may cause those 
objects to be propelled by the air 
bag into your face and torso 
causing serious injury. 2. Safety experts recommend a 
minimum distance of at least 
10 inches (25.4 cm) between an 
occupant’s chest and a front air 
bag.
3. Children 12 years old and younger  can be killed or seriously injured 
by the air bag. The rear seat is the 
safest place for children.
4. Do not try to put an adult seat belt  around two children.
5. Several air bag system  components get hot after inflation. 
Do not touch them after they have 
deployed.
6. If an air bag is inflated, the air bag  will not function again and must 
be renewed immediately. 
If a new air bag is not fitted, 
the unrepaired area will increase 
the risk of injury in a collision. 

Before Driving 3 - 17
Occupancy sensing
The front passenger seat is monitored by ultra-sonic sensors 
(shown above) and a seat weight sensor to determine the 
presence, weight and position of the front passenger. In certain 
conditions, e.g. where no passenger is present, the appropriate 
air bags will be deactivated. In a collision these air bags would 
not be deployed. Note:
The occupancy sensing system is designed to confirm that 
a front passenger is properly seated as recommended:
• Always sit centrally in the seat, remaining in contact with the  seat back which for comfort  should be rearwards of the 
vertical position.
• Adjust the seat to be as far back from the fascia as practical.
• Always wear seatbelts.
The seat adjustment controls are described on page 3 - 3.
!WARNING:
It is important that the  passenger position sensors 
(see illustration) are not obscured in any way which could 
affect air bag deployment, e.g. fitting non-approved 
accessories.

Exterior Lighting
Master Lighting Rotary Switch 
Positions
• OFF.
• Side (parking) lights.
• Headlights.
• Autolamps/exit delay.
!WARNING:
It is an offence in certain countries to 
obscure front and rear lights, 
direction indicators and reflectors. The exterior lights ar
e controlled by the 
left-hand column stalk switch.
The rotary collar on the stalk has three 
positions for turning th e exterior lights on 
or off and positions for autolamps/exit 
delay. These are:
OFF – All exterior lights OFF (except 
vehicles provided with daylight running 
lights).
Sidelights – Switches on front sidelights, 
tail, number plate an d any other marker 
lights required by local legislation. 
When the external lights are ON the 
instruments will also be lit.
Headlights – With the ignition in 
position ‘II’, this position switches on 
dipped headlights in addition to the lights 
switched on in sidelight position.
The left-hand column stalk switch has 
two positions for controlling the main 
beam.
Pulling the switch towards the steering 
wheel and releasing causes the main 
beam to flash on and off. The main beam 
can be flashed at any time when the 
switch is pulled and will remain ON for 
as long as the switch is held. The second position is to switch main 
beam headlights ON. With the ignition in 
position ‘II’, first select dipped beam 
lights, and then push the column light 
switch away from the steering wheel.
The blue warning light on the instrument 
cluster and main be
am headlights will 
come ON.
To turn main beam OFF, pull the column 
switch towards the steering wheel to 
return to dipped beam.
Note: If dipped beam is switched OFF 
with main beam stil l activated, both 
dipped and main beam will be 
extinguished. Both dipped and main 
beam will illuminate if  dipped is turned on 
again.
Autolamps – A light sensor control, 
mounted on the front of the fascia, 
monitors exterior light levels and 
automatically switches the sidelights and 
dipped headlights ON or OFF.
The ignition switch must be in 
position ‘II’ and AUTO selected on the 
stalk switch for full automatic light 
operation.
When light fades towards dusk, 
the sidelights and headlights will switch 
ON automatically  and the sidelight 
warning light in the instrument cluster 
will illuminate.
