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.

Introduction
The automatic and manual transmission units are
described in the ÔS-TYPE Sports Sedan Powertrain
IntroductionÕ Technical Guide.
J-Gate
The J-gate assembly is mounted on the
transmission tunnel by four bolts and has a
similar operating mechanism to the XJ/XK Series
vehicles. The selector gate positions are, P-R-N-D
on one side of the ÔJÕ and manual gear positions
4-3-2 on the other side. Movement of the gear
selector lever up and down these positions is
transmitted mechanically to a cable assembly
which then rotates the digital range switch on the
side of the automatic transmission housing (see
ÔS-TYPE Powertrain IntroductionÕ Technical
Guide). Movement across the gate between D and
4 operates an electrical switch (without cable
movement).
In the P position with the ignition off, the gear
selector lever is locked by a solenoid plunger
which inhibits a lock plate fixed to the selector
mechanism. When the ignition is switched on,pressing the brake pedal energises the solenoid
and releases the lock plate, allowing the selector
lever to be moved from the P position.
For NAS markets only, the J-gate slider actuator is
linked to the ignition switch barrel to provide a
mechanical interlock. The interlock lever and
cable are driven by the J-gate slider to operate a
locking plunger in the ignition barrel. If the gear
selector lever is in any position other than P, the
ignition key cannot be removed. Note when
servicing, that the interlock cable adjustment is
critical and the JTIS service instructions must be
followed. Where the interlock function is not
fitted, the interlock lever is retained without the
operating cable.

Driveline
Introduction
The driveline is a standard type with the engine
position at the front and driven rear axle. This will
be the first time that Jaguar has used in-plant
driveline balancing to improve noise, vibration
and handling. The driveline is finely balanced at
the rear driveshaft joint. The centre bearing is
laser aligned during initial factory build.
The alloy rear engine mountings have two
variants, one for automatic transmission and one
for manual transmission. They are both
serviceable items. The V6 auto is the same as the
V8 but rotated in plan by 180 degrees. The rubber
mountings are carry over concept from the
current XJ and XK Series vehicles but are not
D.307.322
DRIVELINE ARRANGEMENTinterchangeable with them. Both automatic
transmission rubber mountings are common but
with a softer unique mount for the manual V6
transmission.
In service if they are replaced, ensure that there
are buffer gaps and that they are approximately
equal. Neither will be contaminated by lubricant
or automatic transmission fluid.
Driveshaft
The S-TYPE has a two-piece welded steel tube
driveshaft with a splined centre slip joint and
locking collar, the whole being aligned with the
body centreline. The driveshaft has rubber flex
couplings and a rubber, body-mounted, centre
bearing. For safety, the front tube is collapsible.
JAGUARS-TYPEChassis
54The centre joint is a conventional hookes joint
with staked lugs and the rubber flex couplings
have spigoted sleeves to the transmission and rear
axle final drive unit (three bolt fixings)
All driveshafts are balanced. If undercoating the
vehicle, protect the driveshaft, universal joints
and the axleshafts to prevent overspray of the
undercoating material.
Driveshaft weight is:
¥ V6 auto 12.7 kg
¥ V8 auto 13.4 kg
¥ V6 manual 14.1 kg
Serviceable parts are the centre bearing, flex
coupling, rubber boot, alignment bearing and
fasteners. Lubrication of the driveshaft
components is unnecessary. The universal joint is
equipped with nylon thrust washers, located at
the base of the bearing cup.
Balancing of the driveshaft is achieved using a
PDU with the new vibration analyser. This gives
details of where the shaft is out of balance and by
how much and where to place the balance nuts.
Final Drive (differential)
The final drive, differential, has a steel case and
rear cover, no drain plug and has a sealed for life
lubricant. Differential weight is 27 kilograms and
oil capacity 1.5 litres of synthetic oil (M2C192A).
The hypoid gearset is mounted in taper roller
bearings. It has a two point differential assembly
retained by bearing straps. The central pinion is
on the body centreline. Pinion and output oil
seals, the companion flange and nut and the
needle roller output bearing are the only
serviceable items.
Final drive ratios are:
3.31:1 (V6 and V8 auto)
2.87:1 (V6 manual)
Differential Mountings
The crossbeam forms the mounting points for the
three differential mounting bushes. All three
bushes are conventional rubber bushes, common
to all S-TYPE vehicles and are serviceable items.
They control the driveline and isolate differential
noise and vibration. Avoid disturbing the subframe
mounts when servicing differential bushes. The
front differential bush is a two-part bush and the
RH and LH rear bushes are handed and colour
coded to differentiate them
Half-shafts
Half-shafts are unequal lengths and are therefore
handed, left and right. Constant velocity joints are
fitted to both ends, the outer is fixed and the
inner is sliding. They are sealed for life and
retained in the differential side gear with a spring
clip.
Weights are approximately
V6 size - 100 8.89kg (LH) 8.76kg (RH)
V8 size - 104 9.43kg (LH) 9.3kg (RH)
Serviceable parts are:
¥ the pinion and output oil seals
¥ companion flange and nut
¥ output bearing (needle roller)
Note: It is possible that the replacement or repair
of gears, bearings or shafts may be introduced at a
later date.

BRAKE BOOSTER Brake Booster
The brake booster is a Lucas unit mounted on the
engine bay bulkhead with a 25.4mm diameter
master cylinder and integral brake fluid reservoir.
NOTE: The reservoir is also a combined
brake/clutch reservoir for manual transmission
vehicles.
Twin vacuum boosters of 8 inch and 9 inch sizes
are fitted.
The DSC booster is different having integral
pressure transducers and solenoids with air
control valves for the booster. The transducers are
located on the brake master cylinder and are used
for pressure feedback, brake application and fail
safe operation. The booster is used to supply
brake pressure without driver input.
ABS operation is no different to current Jaguar
vehicles.
Parking Brake
The parking brake lever is mounted on the RH
side of the centre console for all models, with
conventional button operation as current XJ
sedan. It is a self-adjusting system operating on
the rear brake callipers. All models have a leather
grip.
