Introduction
The Jaguar S-TYPE is an all-new, luxury sports sedan with a distinctive style, refined power, agile
handling, supple ride and luxurious comfort.
Powertrains are a V8 (AJ28) petrol engine, derived from the engines currently used in XJ and XK Series
vehicles, with a new five-speed automatic transmission or alternatively, a V6 (AJ-V6) petrol engine
coupled with either a five-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual transmission. The new
V6 engine and transmission units and the updated variations to the V8 engine are described in the
ÔJaguar S-TYPE Powertrain IntroductionÕ Technical Guide, which compliments this Guide.
As with current vehicles, variable rate steering control is fitted and all vehicles have ABS brakes with
traction control as standard. A new, optional feature with the Jaguar S-TYPE is Dynamic Stability Control
(DSC), yaw control, which assists the driver in maintaining directional control of the vehicle.
Unlike current vehicles, the hood is hinged at its rear with a safety catch provided at the front of the
hood. A tilt and slide sliding roof with a sunshade is an optional feature.
Both front seats have electrically operated 8-way adjustments as standard and memory equipment is
available as an option. To allow a greater load to be carried in the luggage compartment, the rear seats
can be folded forwards and are split in a 60/40 configuration.
Automatic climate control, with dual temperature control for the driver and front passenger, is a
standard feature on all vehicles. Another new item is reverse park control, a system giving the driver
audible warning of obstructions which could damage the vehicle during reversing.
A standard fit radio/cassette unit provides in-car entertainment with a CD autochanger also being
offered. Other options include a phone, navigation system, vehicle emergency monitoring system and
certain voice activated systems. Optional cruise control and audio switches are fitted to the steering
wheel. All vehicles have a trip computer system and a message center.
Security features are immobiliser and alarm. Optional features include intruder sensor and inclination
sensor. The 3 or 4 button key-ring transmitter has radio frequency operation with an encrypted rolling
code to help prevent theft of the vehicle.
Standard Corporate Protocol (SCP) is the only computer system highway for all the vehicle electronic
controls, CAN is not used.

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.
J.501.1786
Front Seat Adjustment
The front seats are adjusted by three switches on
the seat cushion side panel. The key does not have
to be in the ignition switch for seat adjustment.
Referring to the diagram:
A.Switch forward/rearward: moves seat cushion
forward or rearward
Switch up/down: raises/lowers front/rear of
cushion
B.Switch forward/rearward: raises/reclines angle
of seat squab
