Supplementary restraints system

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Introduction
In the event of a collision, the airbag control
unit monitors the rate of deceleration caused
by the collision. This information is then used
to determine whether airbags should be
deployed.
Airbag deployment is de pendent on the rate at
which the passenger compartment changes
velocity following the collision. The
circumstances affecting different collisions
(vehicle speed, angle of impact, type and size
of object hit, etc.), vary considerably and will
affect the rate of de celeration accordingly.
The Supplementary Restraint System (SRS)
components include:-
• SRS warning indicator.
• Rotary coupler.
• Airbag modules.
• Seat belt pre-te nsioners (front seat belts).
• Restraints control module.
• Crash sensors.
• Airbag wiring harnesses. The SRS is not designed to
operate as a result
of:
• Rear impacts.
• Minor front impacts.
• Minor side impacts.
• Heavy braking.
• Driving over bumps and pot holes.
Therefore, it follows that considerable
superficial damage to the vehicle can occur,
without causing the airbags to deploy.

Instruments

Brake - Red
Illuminates when the ignition
system is on and the parking brake
is applied and/or the brake fluid is
low. The indicator will also illuminate when
there is a fault with the Electronic Brakeforce
Distribution (EBD) system.
If the indicator is illu minated and there are no
associated messages, it means that the parking
brake is applied.
If the indicator is illuminated and the message
PARK BRAKE ON is displayed, it means that the
parking brake is applied but the vehicle is
moving. Release the parking brake or stop the
vehicle when it is safe to do so.
If the indicator is illuminated and the message
LOW BRAKE FLUID with a red priority lamp is
displayed on the message centre, low brake
fluid is indicated. In this case, loss of braking in
one or both brake circ uits may be imminent.
Stop the vehicle gently and check and top-up
the brake fluid reservoir, using the
recommended fluid. If the warning message
remains, do not drive the vehicle until the brake
fault is rectified. Se ek qualified assistance
before continuing. See BRAKE FLUID CHECK
(page 206).
If the indicator is illuminated and the message
EBD FAULT (with red backlight) is displayed in
the message centre, a fault with the EBD
system is indicated. Stop the vehicle gently, as
soon as safety permit s and seek qualified
assistance.
Seat belt - Red
The warning indicator stays
illuminated when the ignition is on
and:
• The driver’s seat be lt is not fastened.
• Or a passenger is sitting in the front seat
and their seat belt is not fastened.
The indicator should extinguish when the
relevant seat belt is fastened.
Beltminder - Red
The beltminder feat ure, which uses
the same indicator as the seat belt
warning, provides reminders to the
driver that the driver’s and/or front passenger’s
seat belt is unbuckled.
If the vehicle is moving at or above 16 km/h (10
mph) and the seat belt of an occupied seat is
not fastened, the warning indicator will flash.
The flashing will last for ten seconds and then
repeat every 30 seconds for approximately five
minutes or until the belt(s ) is fastened or the
vehicle stops.
If the warning indicator stays illuminated with
the seat belt(s) fastened, seek qualified
assistance as s oon as possible. It is safe to
drive the vehicle with th e indicator illuminated,
provided that the seat belt(s) is properly
fastened.
Ensure that all occupants fasten their seat belt
before driving.
Note: If a heavy object is placed on the front
passenger seat, it may activate the Beltminder
feature. It is recommended that the object be
placed in the luggage compartment.
WARNING
If the message LOW BRAKE FLUID is
displayed, check the brake fluid level
and top-up as necessary. Do not drive
the vehicle until the brake fault is rectified.
Seek qualified assistan ce before continuing.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONSFUEL QUALITY
Water in fuel
Petrol engined vehicles
WARNINGS
Petroleum gasses are highly
flammable, have a low flash point,
and are explosive, especially in
confined spaces. Avoid exposing the gasses to
any potential sources of ignition as the
resulting fire and expl osion may cause serious
injuries and/or death.
Only use containe rs specifically
designed for carrying fuel and always
remove them from the vehicle to fill
them. Failure to do so may result in spillage,
and cause a fire.
Switch off the engine when refuelling,
as it is both a source of extreme
temperatures, and electrical sparks.
The resulting fire a nd explosion may cause
serious injury and death.
Switch off any personal electronic
devices such as mobile phones, or
music players. They have the
potential to cause electrical sparks. The
resulting fire and expl osion may cause serious
injury and death.
Do not smoke, use a naked flame, or
cause sparks. The resulting fire and
explosion may cause serious injury
and death.
Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Overfilling may cause spillage when
the vehicle is driven. Spillage may
also occur if the fuel expands in high ambient
temperatures.
Any modifications to the fuel system
not specifically designed for this
Jaguar are prohibited. Such
modifications in some circumstances, could
result in a fire. All se rvice actions should be
entrusted to a Dealer /Authorised Repairer.The presence of any unusual fumes
(e.g. petrol or exhaust fumes) in the
