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.

The floor pan is a three-piece construction with
handed dash panels, welded front suspension
housing, an integral centre bearing panel for the
driveshaft and a large under-tunnel heatshield.
Rear Floor Pan
Multi-piece floor pan design, the rear tub is

sunshade cannot be closed if the sliding roof is in
the fully open position or has been partly closed
from the fully open position; this is because the
J.501.1775
SLIDING ROOF MOTOR ASSEMBLYpull-cup is hidden. To allow access to the
sunshade pull-cup, the sliding roof must be fully
closed. Special screws are used in some locations.
When replacements are required these screws are
supplied in packs, do not use any other screws
than those supplied. Low battery voltage may
prevent operation of the sliding roof although the
relays may be heard operating. The sliding roof
cannot be fitted as a retrofit item.
Body Side and Quarter
The vehicle has one piece body sides and one
piece door opening panels, with full height ÔAÕ
post and ÔB-CÕ post reinforcement. The jacking
reinforcement joins the door opening panel to

and rear. A sill appliquŽ protects the BIW
sheetmetal from stone damage and an anti-chip
coating is applied to the sills
Closures
One piece door inner and outer pressing with side
impact beams. One piece front and rear door
hinge reinforcement panels.
Door sealing is a triple seal system:
¥ primary seals - single sponge profile with part
dense rubber foot, ÔCÕ-channel mounted on
the upper door and peg mounted below the
waist.
¥ secondary seals - body side flange mounted
carrier with sponge and dense rubber,
colour-keyed trim flap
¥ margin sealing - flange mounted roof
rail/gutter seal which closes off the upper
door opening line above the waist and
terminates with a shaped moulding at each
end.
A variety of different profiles are peg mounted to
the ÔAÕ and ÔCÕ pillar periphery below the waist
and also door bottoms. A separate ÔBÕ pillar seal is
riveted as part of the ÔBÕ pillar appliquŽ.
