INTERIOR CARPET
J.501.1784
No coach line will be applied. The optional
equipment headlamp power washers are body
coloured as are the door handles and body side
protective mouldings. The vehicle has a chromed
radiator grille surround with gunmetal vertical
grille vanes.
Front license plate plinth when required is
mounted to the front bumper and the rear license
plate is mounted directly to the trunk drop panel
The A, B/C upper and D/E post trim are structural
parts designed to absorb energy during occupant
head impact. These parts must be replaced
following accident damage if impacted. Damage
may not be evident unless the parts are removed
and examined for damage such as cracking, stress
whitening or rib crushing. The headlining also
contains energy absorbing elements which need to
be replaced in the event of accident damage. The
headlining must be removed to inspect the foam
parts and if any have come loose or been
damaged through cracking or crushing then the
complete headlining must be replaced.
Mirrors
The standard fit manual dip mirror has a double
ball joint for adjustment. Electrochromic and rain
sensing versions may be fitted. North American
vehicles can also have an optional compass fittedwithin the mirror head. The mirror mounting is
supplied bonded to the windshield.
Carpets
The interior carpet is a complete, one-piece design
Trunk carpeting comprises
¥ A folding floor panel.
¥ Two styles of trunk LH carpet, one for
Navigation CD with 4 fixings and one without
CD with 3 fixings. When the Navigation CD
player is fitted it has a separate carpet trim
cover.
¥ A RH side trim carpet with 3 fixings.
¥ A single piece trunk lid liner with 11 fixings.
When a space saver wheel is stowed in the trunk,
an under floor stowage tray is provided under the
folding floor carpet.

Power Assisted Steering
Introduction
The Jaguar S-TYPE has a variable assist rack and
pinion steering gear and variable rack ratio. The
variable steering rack ratio reduces the number of
turns from lock to lock (2.8) to enhance parking
manoeuvrability whilst maintaining the on-centre
steering precision required at high speed. Full
power assistance is provided for parking. Steering
assistance decreases smoothly at a calibrated rate
to raise driver steering efforts as vehicle speed
increases.
Servicing
There are no carry over parts from XK or XJ Series
vehicles.
The rack is mounted to the rear of cross member
Number 2. The PAS pump is belt driven. A PAS
cooler matrix is located within the radiator
package.
Low PAS pump speeds problems are prevented by
increasing engine speed. A power steering
pressure (PSP) switch senses the demand on the
pump at low engine speeds and increases the
speed to a pre-set minimum.
Hose connections to the pump and the steering
gear are quickfit connectors. The quick connect
tube must be pushed into the existing tube nut
port, along the centreline. The assembly is
complete when the tube end bottoms out in the
port with an audible click/snap. Correct assembly
should be verified by pulling the quickfit tube end.
Servicing of the PAS line involves removal of the
quickfit nut. Replacement PAS lines are supplied
complete with quickfit nut and sealing washer. If
the joint is disturbed it is compulsory to replace
the PTFE sealing ring otherwise leaks are
inevitable. Replacement sealing washers may be
installed with the use of Service tool
D90P-3517-A.
Care must be taken when removing the quickfit
nut from the V6 engine pump as the pulley is
PHENOLIC and is susceptible to damage. The V8
pump installation provides a short jumper tube
from the pump to improve accessibility to the
high-pressure hose connection. The PAS pulley

JAGUARS-TYPEClimate Control
64Control Panel
The control panel is a combined unit
incorporating the air conditioning control module
(A/CCM).
Heater/Evaporator and Blower
A single blower, heater and evaporator are fitted
to the passenger side of the vehicle behind the
fascia. Air intake is from the passenger side via
leaf screen slots (see page 16). A particle filter is
mounted forward of the bulkhead in a rain/water
collector box. Mounting of the heater/evaporator
unit and blower assembly is by three bulkhead
fixings and one locator pin.
Condensate drainage is integral with the
heater/evaporator unit and therefore has no
separate drain tubes. The heater matrix is a dual
heater unit with three heater pipes, two inlets of
16mm diameter and one outlet of 19mm
diameter.
D.412.217
Underbonnet Components
Both V6 and V8 engine configurations include a
water valve controlled heating (dual) system and
the valve is mounted behind the right-hand side
headlamp. The V8 engine system, as with current
cars, has a water pump to supplement idle water
flow through the heater and this is mounted on
the right-hand side of the cooling pack. The pump
is held in a mounting rubber, which is pushed
over two pillars on the rear of the fan shroud and
held with two screws.
Condenser
The black-painted aluminium condenser is located
to the front of the combi-cooler and mounts to its
end tanks. The condenser end tubes push into two
grommets, which are in turn held in two steel
brackets, screwed to the radiator end tanks. The
bottom of the condenser is screwed directly into
the radiator tanks. A radiator cooling duct clips
onto the condenser end tanks and also pushes
onto the lower radiator channel. The duct ensures
that all available airflow is directed through the
cooling module.
