During normal operation, it is not necessary to
dock the Jaguar Smart Key. However, if the
unlock button on the Smart Key fails to operate
and the vehicle has been unlocked using the
emergency key blade, it will be necessary to
dock the Jaguar Smart Key to deactivate and
disarm the alarm system.
The Smart Key should also be docked when the
vehicle is being towed, in order to prevent the
steering column from locking.
Insert the Jaguar Smart Key into the starter
control unit, located on the driver's side of the
vehicle, as shown.
Note: When docking the Jaguar Smart Key, it is
recommended that the emergency key blade is
left in place. The end of the key blade can then
be used as a handle, to pull the Smart Key from
the control unit when undocking.

Supplementary restraints system

AIRBAG WARNING LAMP
The airbag warning indicator is
mounted in the instrument pack,
and will illuminate as a bulb check
when the starter switch is turned on.
If any of the following warning indicator
conditions occur, the vehicle should be
checked by your Dealer /Authorised repairer
immediately.
• The warning indicator fails to illuminate
when the starter switch is initially turned
on.
• The warning indicator fails to extinguish
within six seconds of the starter switch
being turned on.
• The warning indicator illuminates at any
time other than the bulb check, when the
starter switch is on.
WHIPLASH PROTECTION
Both front seats are equi pped with Active Head
Restraints (AHR), which reduce the risk of neck
and spinal injury (whiplash) in the event of a
rear impact.
When activated, the head restraint moves
upwards and forwards, supporting the
occupant's head.
After activation, the whiplash protection
mechanism automatically resets and does not
need to be replaced.
WARNING
If the warning indica tor signals that a
fault is present in the system, do not
use a child restraint on the front
passenger seat. Doing so will increase the risk
of death or serious injury to the child.
E93243

Pedestrian protection
66

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The pedestrian protection system has been
designed to reduce lower leg and head injuries
in the event of a frontal collision with a
pedestrian.
The bumper includes energy absorbing foam
and plastics in its cons truction to reduce leg
injuries and sensors th at detect the collision
with a pedestrian.
Deployment
During a pedestrian co llision, the sensors
initiate a bonnet deploy ment system that
releases the bonnet hinge system and raises
the rear edge of the bonnet by approximately
130 mm (5.1 inches).
This increases the gap between the bonnet and
the components within the engine
compartment e.g. engine, suspension etc. This
increased gap creates a cushion to mitigate
injury caused to the pedestrian.
The bonnet deployment system is active only
when the ignition is on and the vehicle is driven
between the speeds of approximately 20 km/h
(12 mph) and 45 km/h (28 mph).
AFTER DEPLOYMENT OF THE
PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION SYSTEM
The vehicle must be stopped as soon as it is
safe to do so.
The hazard warning lamp s will be activated and
can only be switched off by pressing the engine
START/STOP button to turn the engine off and
on again.
A warning message CHECK PEDESTRIAN
SYSTEM will appear on the message centre
and the vehicle should be transported to the
nearest Dealer/Author ised Repairer. The
vehicle must not be driven when the bonnet
has been deployed. See Vehicle recovery
(page 253).
Note: If the warning message CHECK
PEDESTRIAN SYSTEM appears in the message
centre when the bonnet ha s not been deployed,
the vehicle should be taken to the nearest
Dealer/Authorised Repairer immediately. It can
be driven.
If any significant damage occurs to the front
bumper it should be inspected by a
Dealer/Authorised Repairer as soon as
possible.
E94698
CAUTION
Do not attempt to open the bonnet if the
pedestrian protection system has been
deployed.
