Seats
All seats are completely new to Jaguar with no
commonality to previous models.
Front Seats
The drivers seat and front passenger seat are
electrically adjustable for front and rear seat
height, fore and aft movement and squab tilt with
optional lumbar adjustment. Optional heated
cushions and squabs may be fitted with the heater
switches located on the centre console. The head
restraints are manually adjustable for height (four
positions) and tilt. The drivers seat also has an
optional two position memory facility. Side airbags
are fitted to both front seat squabs (see Occupant
Protection section).
Seat Construction
The seat track assembly consists of two slider
rails, cross mounted drive mechanisms and anelectrical harness sub-assembly. The seat cushion
pan is supported on four brackets attached to the
height adjustment drive actuators. Two separate
drive motors and screw actuator mechanisms
provide raise/lower movements respectively for
the front and rear of the cushion. The seat fore
and aft motor and drive shaft are located across
the front of the track assembly: note the drive
shaft must not be used to lift the seat assembly
when fitting or removing a seat. Each drive has a
potentiometer to register the selected position for
memory storage.
The track assembly wiring harness and driver seat
control module (DSCM) (driverÕs side only) are
fixed to a plastic tray which clips onto the frame.
The squab frame is a welded steel construction
which bolts to the track assembly and carries the
recline drive, lumbar support mechanism and a

28bracket for the airbag. The recline motor is located
in the lower left side of the frame and drives both
sides of the squab. The position potentiometer is
mounted on the long drive shaft on the RH side.
Lumbar support comprises a flexible steel lumbar
plate, motor, drive cable and return spring. The
top of the plate has vertical slots, fitted to a cross
bar, which allows the plate to be pulled down and
deformed by the drive cable to provide increased
lumbar support. If powered lumbar support is not
fitted, the lumbar plate is used without the drive
system.
When seat heaters are fitted each front seat has a
driver or passenger seat heater control module
fitted (DSHCM/PSHCM).
Seat Covers
The cushion and squab cover are made of dual
density foam and have optional heater pad inserts.
The cushion and cushion pan have an anti-
submarining profile for increased safety.

seconds, e.g. when attempting to overcome frozen
or jammed windows, the window drive will be
switched off for a few seconds to protect the
window drive motors.
Memory Setting (where fitted)
The position of the driverÕs seat, steering column
and exterior rear view mirrors can be memorized
and recalled. Two different driving position
profiles can be entered In the memory. The
switches for seat, mirror, steering column
adjustment and memory setting can be operated
with or without the key being in the ignition.
To store a driving position in the memory:
1. Adjust the seat, steering column an exterior
rear view mirrors to the desired position.
2. Push the memory button and the light in the
switch will illuminate
3. Within five seconds, push button Ô1Õ orÕ2Õ to
memorize the configuration. The memory
button light will go out and a chime will
indicate that the setting procedure is
complete. Additionally, if the ignition is on,
the message center will display a message
that the settings have been saved.
To recall a memorized position, the gear selector
lever must be in ÔPÕ or ÔNÕ on automatic
transmission vehicles and the park brake must be
applied on manual transmission vehicles. Press
and release the appropriate memory button (Ô1Õ or
Ô2Õ). The seat, steering column and door mirrors
will move automatically to the memorized
position.
The key ring transmitter can also be set to
memorize the position of the driverÕs seat,
steering column and exterior rear view mirrors.
Memory Recall Using a Key-ring Transmitter
The key-ring transmitter will recall a memory
position when the unlock button is pressed when
set as follows:
Adjust the seat, steering column and exterior rear
view mirrors to the desired position.
Press ÔmemoryÕ button.
Within five seconds, press any button on the key-
ring transmitter.
Press button Ô1Õ or Ô2Õ.
