Introduction

DATA RECORDING
Service data recording
Service data recorders in your vehicle are
capable of collecting and storing diagnostic
information about your vehicle. This potentially
includes information about the performance or
status of various syst ems and modules in the
vehicle such as engine, throttle, steering or
brakes.
In order to properly di agnose and service your
vehicle, Jaguar service and repair facilities may
access vehicle diagnos tic information through
a direct connection to your vehicle.
Event data recording
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed. The EDR is de signed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems
for a short period of ti me, typically 30 seconds
or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were
operating.
• Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened.
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or the brake pedal.
• How fast the vehicle was travelling.
• The rotational position of the steering
wheel.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the ci rcumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur. Note:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial cr ash situation occurs; no
data are recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g.
name, gender, age and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the EDR data with
the type of personally id entifying data routinely
acquired during a cr ash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
DISABILITY MODIFICATIONS
Occupants with disabili ties which may require
modification of the ve hicle, must contact a
Dealer/Authorised Re pairer before any
modifications are made.

PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
The vehicle has been designed, built and
tested, to cope with a variety of driving
conditions, some of which can place the
severest possible demands on control systems
and components. As such, fitting replacement
parts and accessories that have been
developed and tested to the same stringent
standards as the orig inal components, will
safeguard the continued reliability, safety and
performance of your vehicle.
To augment the vehicle's already impressive
performance, a comprehe nsive range of Jaguar
approved spare parts and accessories is
available. Jaguar parts are the only parts built to original
equipment specificati
ons and approved by
Jaguar designers; this means that every single
part and accessory has been rigorously tested
by the same engineeri ng team that designed
and built the vehicle.
A full list and description of all accessories is
available from your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer.
Electrical equipment
Always consult your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer before fitting any accessory.
Fitting inferior quality parts or accessories,
may be dangerous and could invalidate the
vehicle warranty.
It is recommended that you always consult
your Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice
regarding the approval, suitability, installation
and use of any parts or accessories before
fitting.
WARNINGS
Do not fit non-approved parts and
accessories or carry out
non-approved alterations or
conversions. It may be dangerous and could
affect the safety of th e vehicle and occupants.
Also, the terms and conditions of the vehicle
warranty may be invalidated.
Jaguar will not accept any liability for
death, personal injury or damage to
property which may occur as a direct
result of fitment of non-approved accessories
or the carrying out of non-approved
conversions to Jaguar vehicles.
Jaguar strongly advise against
making any modifications to the
suspension or steering system. This
could seriously affe ct the handling and
stability of the vehicle leading to loss of control
or roll-over.
WARNING
It is extremely hazardous to fit or
replace parts or accessories, the
installation of which requires the
dismantling of, or addition to, either the

the remote unlock button is pressed, but none
of the doors or the luggage compartment are
opened within 45 seconds, the vehicle will
automatically relock all the doors and the
luggage compartment a nd will re-arm the
alarm system.
Note: Automatic relocking and arming will only
relock to a centrally lo cked state and will only
arm to a perimeter alarm condition.
Automatic relocking an d re-arming can be
disabled/enabled using the touch-screen.
See PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL
(page 21).
Sensor faults
If the security systems detect a fault with one
of the security sensors, two error tones will
sound from the alarm sire n after the vehicle is
unlocked and disarmed. If this condition
occurs, please visit your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer for rectification.

Seat belts
50

Seat belt checks
Note: If the vehicle is parked on an incline, the
seat belt mechanism may lock. This is not a
fault and the belt should be gently eased out
from the upper anchorage.
The seat belts should be inspected regularly to
check for fraying, cuts or wear to the webbing,
and the condition and security of the
mechanism, buckles, adjusters, and mounting
points.
• With the seat belt fastened, give the
webbing near the buckle a quick upward
pull. The buckle must remain securely
locked. •
With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the
seat belt to the limit of its travel. Check that
it unreels smoothly with no snatches or
snags. Allow the belt to fully retract, again
checking for smooth operation.
• Partially unreel the seat belt, then hold the
tongue plate and give a quick forward pull.
The mechanism must lock and prevent any
further unreeling.
If any of the seat belts fail to meet those
criteria, immediately contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.
SEAT BELT REMINDER
If the driver's seat belt is not
fastened when the vehicle is in
motion, a chime will be heard and
the seat belt warning i ndicator will illuminate.
The warning chime and indicator will also be
activated if the front passenger seat is
occupied without the seat belt being fastened.
Note: Objects placed on the front passenger
seat may activate the seat belt reminder
warning chime and i ndicator. It is
recommended that any objects placed on the
front passenger seat are secured using the seat
belt.
If any damage, wear, cuts, defects or
impaired operation are noted with the
seat belts, the vehi
cle should be taken
to a Dealer/Authorised Repairer for immediate
attention. Do not use th e vehicle if the seat
belts cannot be operated correctly.
When using seat belts to restrain
items other than occ upants, take care
to ensure that the belts are not
damaged, or exposed to sharp edges.
Care must be taken to avoid
contaminating the seat belt webbing
and seat belt mechanisms with any
chemicals, liquids, gr it, dirt or cleaning
products. If the seat belts do become
contaminated, they should be replaced
immediately. Contaminat ed seat belts my not
operate correctly in an impact and cannot be
relied upon.
The use of comfort clips, or devices
that would create slackness in the
seat belt system, is not advised.

WARNINGS
High speed impacts may cause
serious injury or de ath irrespective of
safety features fitted to a vehicle.
Always drive with caut ion and consideration
for the vehicle's characteristics, road and
weather conditions.
The airbag cannot provide protection
in some types of impact, therefore
seat belts s hould be worn at all times
by the driver and passengers in all seating
positions.
WARNINGS
Airbags inflate at high speeds, and
can cause injuries. To minimise the
risk of injury, ensure that all vehicle
occupants wear correct ly positioned seat
belts, sit correctly in the seats, and position
the seats as far back as practical.
Sitting centrally and correctly in each
seating position helps ensure that a
gap is maintained between the side of
the vehicle and the head and torso. This will
aid inflation of the curtain and seat-mounted
airbags.
Airbag inflation takes place
instantaneously. Not all airbags are
designed to protect against the
effects of se condary impacts. During
secondary impact, a leve l of protection may be
provided by a correctly worn seat belt.

55
Supplementary restraints system

Note: The general location of airbags fitted to
the vehicle are marked by the word AIRBAG.
Always contact your Dealer/Authorised
repairer if:-
• An airbag inflates.
• The front or sides of the vehicle are
damaged.
• Any part of the SRS shows signs of
cracking or damage, including trim
covering airbags.
Airbag operation
Airbags cannot deploy co rrectly if they are
obstructed. Examples of obstructions are:-
• Any part of an occu pants body in contact
with, or close to, an airbag covering.
• Objects placed on, or close to, an airbag
cover.
• Clothing, sun screens, or other material
hanging from grab handles.
• Clothing, cushions, or other material,
covering seat mounted airbags.
• Seat covers which are not approved by
Jaguar, or specifical ly designed for use
with seat mounted airbags.
• Luggage that intrudes into the area that
will be occupied by a deploying airbag
system.
This list is not exhausti ve and it remains the
responsibility of the driv er and passengers to
ensure that the airbags are not obstructed in
any way.
Deployment and deflation
In the event of a collisi on, the restraints control
system monitors the rate and direction of
deceleration. If required to supplement the seat
belts, airbags will be deployed as appropriate.
After operation, frontal airbags do not retain
pressure.
Front airbags
The front passenger’s and driver’s airbags are
able to deploy in two stages, depending on the
severity of the frontal impact. In a severe
impact, the airbags inflate fully to offer
maximum protection. In a lower severity
impact, less inflation ma y be required, so the
airbags inflate in a different manner.
WARNINGS
Phone systems should only be
installed by qualified persons familiar
with the operation of, and
requirements for, vehicles fitted with SRS. If
you are in any doubt, seek advice from your
Jaguar Dealer/Authorised repairer.
WARNINGS
For the airbags to operate correctly
the roof lining and door post trims
must be in good condition, correctly
fitted, and free from obstruction. Any damage,
wear, or incorrect fitmen t should be referred to
your Dealer/Authorised repairer as soon as
possible for examination and repair.
Do not allow passe ngers to obstruct
the operation of the airbags by
placing any part of their person, or
any objects, in contact with, or close to, an
airbag module. Airbags deploy at very high
speeds and can cause se rious injury or death
if objects or occupants are within the area of
deployment.
