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
electrical or fuel systems.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The security system and entry to the vehicle are
controlled by the Jaguar Smart Key remote
control. All doors and the luggage
compartment can be locked and unlocked
using the remote control buttons.
Keyless Entry is an enhancement of the Jaguar
Smart Key and allows entry to the vehicle,
without the need to press a button. Full security
integrity of the vehicl e is still maintained.
See KEYLESS ENTRY (page 33).
The Jaguar Smart Key also allows the vehicle to
be started without the use of a starter key.
See KEYLESS STARTING (page 133).
Two handsets, incorporating a detachable
emergency key blade, are supplied. Separate
emergency key blades are available from
Dealers. The emergency key blade number is recorded
on an attached label. Peel off the label and

rature pack. Keep the
Security Card safe, but not in the vehicle.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO
FREQUENCIES
Note: The radio frequency used by your remote
control may be used by other devices. For
example: amateur radios , medical equipment,
wireless headphones, or other remote control
devices. This may cause the frequency to be
jammed, and prevent your remote control from
operating correctly.
Environmental conditions can affect the
operation of remote controls and the operating
range may vary considerably depending on the
vehicle's location.
CAUTION
Remove all Jaguar Smart Keys from the
vehicle when it is le ft unattended. This
will ensure the vehicle is left in a secure
condition.

Irregular operation
If difficulty is experienced with remote keyless
entry, keyless entry, keyless starting or Jaguar
Smart Key operation, it may be caused by:

battery. See CHANGING THE REMOTE
CONTROL BATTERY (page 24).
• High levels of localised external electrical
interference, e.g. a radio transmitter.
• Until the battery can be replaced, or until
the vehicle is outside the area of electrical
interference, the Jaguar Smart Key must
be inserted into the starter control unit.
