Ignition Switch
The fascia-mounted ignition switch,
on the right-hand side of the steering
column, has four key positions:
0.Ignition OFF – This is the only
position in which the key can be
inserted and removed.
I. Auxiliary – Allows use of some
electrical circuits, for example, radio
and window oper ation (accessory
delay only).
II. Ignition ON – All electrical circuits
except the starter motor are
activated. The key remains in this
position when driving. III.
Engine start – The starter motor is
operated for as long as the key is held
in this position, against spring
pressure.
When the key is turned back to the OFF
position, the delayed accessory feature
becomes active.
The circuits available in the auxiliary
position remain activated for a preset
timed period or until a front door is
opened.

Seats
!WARNING:
1. Do not make adjustments when the vehicle is moving.
2. Front passengers must not ride with the seat fully reclined.
All seats, except the rear bench type,
are adjusted electrically by switches on
the side of the seat cushion. Adjustment
can be made with or without the ignition
key inserted.
Three different positions can be stored
and recalled by a memory system for
each seat. (Steering wheel, pedals and
door mirrors positions are also
memorised for the driver.) See Memory
Setting on page 3 - 31.
Note: It is advisable to move the seat to
the correct position in relation to the gear
lever and front and side vision before
adjusting the steering column, pedals,
mirrors and seat belt.
Front Seat Adjustment
Note: The full range of front seat
adjustments are: (
A ) – Backrest angle (recline) and headrest
height.
( B ) – Seat fore and aft position; cushion
height and front tilt:
• Move the switch forward or rearward to change the seat fore and aft
position.
• Move the centre or rear of the switch up or down to adjust cushion height.
• Move the front of the switch up or down to tilt the front of the cushion.
( C ) – Provides adjustable lumbar support
in the lower backrest. Either a 2-way or
4-way switch may be fitted:
• 2-way or 4-way switch: Press the
front or back of the switch to
increase/decrease lumbar support.
• 4-way switch only: Press the top of
the switch to increase higher lumbar,
decreasing lower lumbar support.
Press the bottom of the switch to
increase lower lumbar, decreasing
higher lumbar support. Press the front
of the switch to increase mid-lumbar
and the rear to decrease all lumbar
support.
( D ) – If specified, varies the cushion
extension. Moving the control will change
the distance between the front of the

Heated Seats
Some seats have heaters in the backrests
and cushions. The heaters have three
heat settings and each seat has its own
control.
The front seat buttons are located at the
top of the centre console.
With the engine running, pressing a
heater button will select the highest heat
setting, as indicated by three illuminated
red lights.
A second press selects the mid setting
(two red lights) and a third press selects
the lowest heat setting (one red light).
A fourth press turns the seat heater off;
all indicator lights off. The rear seat heater buttons are located
below the rear air vents.
Note:
The heater will automatically
switch off if the engine is turned off or if a
fault is detected.
A heater will maintain a preset
temperature while it is switched on.
Storage of the vehicle in a heated garage,
body heat or warm ambient temperatures
may prevent operation of the seat heater.
Heated Steering Wheel
A heater is incorporated in the steering
wheel rim and operates in conjunction
with the driver’s seat heater. The steering
wheel heater is switched on in any of the
three driver seat heater positions.

Pedal Adjustment
!WARNING:
Do not adjust the pedals whilst driving.
This facility enables the pedals to be moved towards or away
from the driver’s seat, providing extra adjustment for the driving
position. All pedals move together (no individual pedal
adjustment) and are electrically controlled from the combined
steering column/pedal adjust switch on the left side of the
steering column housing. The adjustment can be made with or
without the ignition key inserted.
To adjust the position of the pedals, turn the switch
to ‘PEDALS’, then push it forwards or rearwards to cause a
corresponding movement of the pedal assembly.
Three pedal positions may be stored and recalled by the driver
position memory system. See Memory Setting on page 3 - 31.
It will not be possible to adjust the pedals if cruise control has
been set.

Before Driving 3 - 7
Steering Column
Adjustment
!WARNING:
Do not adjust the steering column
whilst driving.
The steering column can be adjusted for
tilt and reach by operating the rotary/
joystick control switch (A ) on the left side
of the steering column.
1. Turn the switch to the ‘COLUMN’ or ‘AUTO’ position.
2. Move the switch forwards or backwards to adjust reach.
3. Move the switch up or down to tilt.
Three column positions may be stored
and recalled by the driver position
memory system. See Memory Setting
on page 3 - 31.
Entry/exit mode
Entry/exit mode provides automatic
movement of the steering column and
driver’s seat to allow easier entry to or
exit from the vehicle.
Entry/exit mode is selected by setting the
steering column adjustment switch to the
‘AUTO’ position ( B). Exit
– If the ignition key is in position ‘0’
and the driver’s door is opened or if the
ignition key is removed, the steering
column will move to the uppermost tilt
position. The seat will move rearwards
unless it is already 1.5 inches (4 cm) or
less from its fully rearward position when
it will not move any further back.
Entry – When the key is next inserted in
the ignition switch and the door is closed,
the steering column and seat will return
to their previous positions. If, however,
the memorised driver position has been
changed (using the door memory switch
or another integrated key), the steering
wheel and seat will move to the new
position. Caution: Do not use steering wheel
mounted security devices since
movement of the steering wheel in
entry/exit mode could result in
vehicle damage (e.g. the windscreen)
or possible injury to the occupant.
Note:
1. If the adjustment switch is moved
away from ‘AUTO’ whilst the steering
column is tilted away, the steering
column will move back to its
memorised position when the key is
next inserted in the ignition and
entry/exit mode is then cancelled.
2. If the adjustment switch is moved during entry/exit operation, steering
column movement will stop.

Air Bags
In order to provide optimum protection
this vehicle is equipped with front and
side air bags. They are used in
conjunction with the seat belts to help
protect occupants from upper body
(thorax) and head injuries.
• The driver front air bag is located in
the centre of the steering wheel.
• The front passenger air bag is located in the fascia pane l immediately in
front of the passenger seat.
• Thorax side air bags are fitted within the outboard bolsters of both front
seats, and are identified by labels.
• A curtain air bag is fitted on each side, above the front and rear doors.
Air bag warning information is printed on
the driver’s and passenger’s sunvisor
(see illustration).
!WARNING:
Occupants with disabilities that may
require the vehicle to be modified
must contact a Jaguar Retailer before
any modifications are made.
!WARNING:
EVEN WITH ADVANCED AIR BAGS
– Children can be killed or seriously injured by the air bag.
– The back seat is the safest place for children.
– Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front.
– Always use seat belts and child restraints.
– See Owner’s Manual for more information about air bags. Advanced restra
int technology
system
The air bags and seat belt pretensioners
are electrically controlled by an advanced
restraints technology system.
Both front air bags use a dual inflation
technology. When activated, the bag(s)
will deploy at either a normal or reduced
level of inflation, depending on crash
severity. The lower inflation level is also
selected if the restraint system senses that
the seat occupant is too close to the air
bag.
