Memory recall using an integrated 
key
The integrated key will recall a memory 
position when the unlock button is 
pressed when set as follows:
1. Adjust the seat, steering column, pedals and exterior rear view mirrors 
to the desired positions.
2. Press the M button: The red LED will  illuminate for a five second period.
3. Press button ‘1’, ‘2’ or ‘3’ and then  press any button on  the integrated 
key. Both button presses must occur 
while the red LED is illuminated.
4. Repeat for the other integrated key,  pressing the remaining memory 
buttons.
To cancel integrated key memory recall:
1. Place a key into the ignition switch and  leave in the OFF position.
2. Press the M button: The red LED will  illuminate for a five second period.
3. Press any button on  the integrated key 
(except the panic button, if fitted) then 
press the M button again. Both button 
presses must occur while the red LED 
is illuminated. Note:
If memory recall is performed 
using an integrated ke y with the vehicle in 
entry/exit position, the steering column 
and seat will not return to the memorised 
position until either the integrated key is 
placed in the ignition switch or the 
driver’s door is closed.
Driving position memory system 
operating tips
• When making adjustments to a set  driving position, reset the new 
position in the same memory channel.
• A driving position will only be  memorised during the five second 
period when the red memory LED is 
illuminated.
• Previous memory is erased when a  new driving position is entered.
Clock Adjustment
The analogue clock is adjusted by 
pressing the (+) and (–) buttons below 
the dial. Pressing and holding either 
button will increase the rate of hand 
movement forwards or backwards as 
required. 

4-42 On the Road
Starting/Stopping the 
Vehicle
When the vehicle is stationary the 
automatic gear selector may be left in ‘D’, 
‘ 2 ’, ‘ 3’, ‘ 4’ or ‘ 5’, unless the vehicle is to 
be parked. When stopping for traffic 
lights, junctions etc., either select ‘ P’ or 
apply the parkbrake and select ‘ N’.
Before Starting
Before starting the engine, new owners/
drivers should familiarize themselves with 
the layout and operation of the controls 
and instruments.
!WARNING:
Before attempting to start the engine, 
check parkbrake is ON and gear 
selector lever is in position ‘P’ or ‘N’.
To Start the Engine
The engine cannot be started until the 
gear selector is in ‘ N’ or ‘ P’.
Insert the key into the ignition switch and 
turn clockwise to position ‘II’ to switch 
on the ignition.
When the key is turned to position ‘III’ 
the starter motor will turn the engine 
until:
• The key is released and automatically  returns to position ‘II’.
• The ignition switch is turned to ‘0’  or ‘I’.
• The gear selector is moved out of ‘P’  or ‘N’.
• The engine starts.
If the engine fails to start, the key must be 
turned to position ‘0’ before attempting 
to restart.
Do not use the starter continuously for 
longer than six seconds. Continued use of 
the starter will disc harge the battery and 
may damage the starter mechanism. 
Wait until the engine stops turning before 
re-using the starter.
When the engine starts, release the key. The red charge light and the oil pressure 
light in the instrument cluster should go 
out when the engine is running.
If the engine fails to start
If an ignition key is placed in the ignition 
switch and turned to position ‘II’ and the 
alarm security light is flashing, it is 
possible that the engine will not start. 
In any event, please contact a Jaguar 
Retailer to investigate the cause of the 
light flashing.
It is possible that the fuel system inertia 
switch may have tripped, see page 6 - 3 
for the resetting procedure.
If the engine persistent
ly fails to start and 
flooding is suspected, depress the 
accelerator pedal fully, hold it in this 
position and turn the key to position ‘III’ 
for six seconds. Release the key, remove 
your foot from the accelerator pedal and 
then attempt to restart the engine.
Note: The engine cannot start whilst the 
pedal is fully depressed, it must be 
released to enable the engine to start.
If the engine still fail s to start, switch the 
ignition OFF and contact a Jaguar 
Retailer. 

7-16 Maintenance
Battery lead disconnection
Caution:
1. Under no circumstances should a battery be discon nected whilst 
the ignition circuit is live, 
as permanent damage to the 
instrument cluster may occur.
2. Disconnect the negative lead  (earth terminal) first.
Fold the luggage compartment floor panel 
forwards (see page 6 - 4).
Slacken the negative lead pinch bolt and 
disconnect the negative (–) battery lead. 
Slacken the positive lead pinch bolt and 
disconnect the positive (+) battery lead. Battery lead connection
Note:
Upon battery reconnection the 
security system will be armed. Opening 
any protected entry will sound the alarm. 
Make sure that a key or key transmitter is 
available.
Caution: Do not overtighten the 
pinch bolts.
Clean the battery posts and coat the post 
bases with petroleum jelly.
Connect the positive (+) lead, tighten the 
pinch bolt and clip the positive terminal 
cover on the battery. Connect the 
negative (–) lead and tighten the pinch 
bolt.
After the battery ha s been reconnected 
and the ignition swit ch is turned to 
position ‘II’, the message centre display, 
if fitted, will initially show an erroneous 
reading i.e.––––––. Thiswill remain 
until after the bulb check sequence, when 
the correct recorded mileage will be 
displayed. This is a normal function of the 
instrument cluster.
After battery reconnection
After reconnecting the battery:
• Reset the electric parkbrake; refer to  Parkbrake  on page 4 - 34. • Reset the electrically operated 
windows anti-trap function; refer to 
Window Anti-trap Protection  on 
page 4 - 30.
• The trip computer will lose all  recorded trip data and all trip 
functions will be  reset to zero. 
The vehicle total odometer reading is 
retained.
• If the battery is disconnected for more  than 72 hours the radio preset 
channels will need to be reset.
• Where fitted, the TV preset channels  may need to be reset. Refer to the 
Jaguar Touch-screen Handbook.
• Reset the clock to the correct time.
The engine electronic control system 
adapts to certain characteristics of the 
vehicle. These adaptations are lost if the 
battery is disconnected.
On reconnection, therefore, some slightly 
abnormal drive symptoms may occur and 
the vehicle may need to be driven 
10 miles (16 kilometres) or more while 
the control system re-adapts. 

Maintenance 7 - 21
Winter (Snow) Tyres
The tyres fitted as original equipment are 
designed with a rubber compound, tread 
pattern and width specially suited for 
high speeds in normal road conditions, 
but they are less suitable during extremes 
of low temperatures, snow and ice. 
The use of winter tyres will considerably 
improve the vehicle’s handling during 
these conditions.
It is recommended that only Jaguar 
approved winter tyres are used (refer to 
Wheels and Tyres  on page 8 - 7).
!WARNING:
Do not exceed the  tyre speed rating 
when using winter tyres.
Tyre directional indicators must be 
rotating in a clockwise direction when 
viewed from the right-hand side of the 
vehicle, and anti-clockwise when viewed 
from the left-hand side of the vehicle.
Winter tyres must be used in vehicle sets, 
that is, fitted on all four wheels.
Snow Chains
Snow chains, of the recommended type, 
may only be fitted to rear wheels.
Contact your Jaguar Retailer for details 
and availability of approved snow chains.
The maximum speed when using snow 
chains is 30 mph (48 km/h).
Remove the snow chains immediately the 
roads are clear of snow.
Ensure the fitting instructions supplied 
with the snow chains are kept in a safe 
place, for example, wi th this literature 
pack.
Note: Dynamic Stability Control  MUST 
be switched OFF  when using snow chains.
