111 Steering Column Lock
The steering column lock is remote from the
ignition switch and controlled electronically.
When the ignition key is removed from the
ignition switch the steering column lock is
engaged. The lock is disengaged when the key is
placed in the ignition switch.
The lock can be clearly heard as it engages and
disengages.
In rare circumstances it may be necessary to
gently turn the steering wheel from side to side to
release the steering column lock.
Ignition Switch
The fascia-mounted ignition switch, on the right-
hand side of the steering column, has four key
positions:
0Ignition OFF, and the only position in which
the key can be inserted or removed. When
the key is removed the steering lock is
engaged.
IAuxiliary position: this position allows use of
some electrical circuits, for example, window
operation.
The airbag system is activated when the
switch is turned to position ÔIÕ.
II Ignition ON: all electrical circuits except the
starter motor are activated. The key remains
in this position when driving.
III Start position: the starter motor is operated
for as long as the key is held in this position,
against spring pressure.
Smart Locking
This feature helps prevent locking the key in the
vehicle.
If the driverÕs door is open and an attempt is
made to lock the doors using the driverÕs door
interior locking lever, all doors will lock and the
driverÕs door only, will then become unlocked.
If the front passenger door locking lever is used to
lock the doors then all doors will become locked
and then unlocked. The vehicle can then be
locked using the key in the driverÕs door lock or a
key-ring transmitter.
Child Safety Locks
Child safety locks are fitted to the rear doors. The
operating lever is fitted above the door lock
mechanism.
To operate: Open the door and move the lever a
quarter turn. This immobilises the interior handle.

Japanese vehicles.
Jaguar Assist (North America only)
Assist is an integrated vehicle emergency message
system (VEMS) that uses the Jaguar security
response center for emergency roadside
assistance via the Jaguar in-car telephone
installation. The global positioning system (GPS) is
used to identify the position, direction of travel
and speed of the vehicle. Access to the Assist
feature is through the use of the Navigation
system. The emergency assistance feature allows
rapid access to the emergency services (police,
fire or ambulance) and roadside assistance. Once
assistance has been requested and the vehicle
location confirmed, the appropriate services are
contacted for assistance to be dispatched. In the
unfortunate event of an airbag deployment, the
system will automatically place an emergency call.
Access to the system is gained by pressing the
information button on the Navigation front panel
screen (the ignition must be in position ÔIÕ or ÔIIÕ).
While in use, a sequence of messages is displayed
on the LCD.
Note: If an Assist call is initiated and the operator
cannot establish voice communication, police
assistance will be dispatched to the vehicle.
The system can be used wherever a cellular
phone service is available. The Jaguar phone must
be connected to the vehicle, working correctly
and registered with a cellular network. A roaming
airtime agreement is required so that the system
can be used in all areas.
Diagnostic Light
A diagnostic light is integrated into the
information (ASSIST) button. The diagnostic light
flashes throughout an activation but stays on
continuously when a failure is detected. A
message is given on the display: ÔASSIST
FAILUREÕ. There are four potential failure modes:
1. No VEMS menu is displayed when the
information ASSIST button is pressed
2. No activation is performed when the enter
button is pressed to make a selection3. VEMS is unable to compute the location of
the vehicleÕs current position
4. The Navigation system is unable to display
any VEMS messages or would display the
wrong VEMS messages.
Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI)
In the UK the provider for RTTI is ÔTrafficmasterÕ.
Information is collected from their own unique
network of infra-red road sensors which monitor
the average speed of traffic. This information is
sent by radio data link to TrafficmasterÕs
operational headquarters. After processing and
editing the information, it is transmitted in real
time, in words and graphics to Trafficmaster
control modules installed in vehicles. RTTI will not
be available on early vehicles but could be Dealer
fitted retrospectively.
Other markets will use different traffic congestion
information services which will depend on market
infrastructure and service provider support. Japan
will use the ÔVehicle Information and
Communications SystemÕ (VICS).
