Starting the engine
134

Engine block heaters
Engines are more difficult to start when the
ambient temperature is very low. In
geographical areas where temperatures below
-10°C (14°F) are experienced frequently, it is
advisable to fit an engine block heater. The
block heater will have an insulated connector at
the front of the vehicle, which is connected to a
mains supply using a suitable extension cable.
The heater can remain in use overnight if
required. Typically, an e ngine block heater will
use between 400W and 1000W per hour.
For further information consult your Jaguar
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
If the engine fails to start
When pressing the engine START/STOP button
to start the engine, if the security status
indicator lamp on the top surface of the
instrument panel rema ins flashing, a fault
condition is indicate d. Seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
Note: If the Jaguar Smart Key is placed in the
door pocket, it may be outside the range of the
sensors when the door is opened.
Note: If the fuel system inertia switch has
tripped, the ignition circuit will be isolated.
See FUEL CUT-OFF (page 177).
Petrol engines
If the engine persistently fails to start, press the
START/STOP button (without applying the
brake pedal) to return the ignition to
convenience mode. Slowly depress the
accelerator pedal fully, hold it in this position
and press the START/STOP button with the
brake pedal applied, the engine will start to
crank. Release the accelerator pedal when the
engine starts.
If the engine still fails to start, consult your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Diesel engines
If the engine persistently fails to start, press
and hold the START/STOP button (with the
brake pedal applied). Keep the START/STOP
button and the brake pedal pressed until the

the brake pedal) will activate the systems.
CAUTION
The fitting of an engine block heater
does not eliminate the need for
antifreeze.
WARNING
Never switch off the engine when the
vehicle is in motion.

Brakes
146

Emergency Brake Assist (EBA)
The EBA system measures the rate at which the
brake pressure increases. If the system detects
an emergency braking situation, EBA
automatically init iates full braking effect. This
can reduce stopping dist ances in critical
situations.
EBA stops operating as soon as the brake pedal
is released.
EBA is part of the Dynamic Stability
Control (DSC) system and a fault
with the EBA system is indicated by
the amber DSC warning indicator illuminating
and DSC NOT AVAILABLE (with amber
backlight) displaying in the message centre.
Seek qualified assistan ce as soon as possible.
Brake vacuum assist
(V6 petrol models only)
When the engine is cold and/or engine vacuum
is low, Brake vacuum assist provides additional
brake pedal assistance. When the function is
operating, a pulsation ma y be felt through the
brake pedal - this is not a cause for concern.
A fault is indicate d by the message BRAKE
ASSIST FAULT (with amber backlight)
appearing in the message centre. Increased
brake pedal effort may be required to slow the
vehicle when the engine is cold and/or engine
vacuum is low. Seek qualified assistance.
ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB)
The switch which operate s the parking brake is
mounted on the centre c onsole to the rear of
the gear selector.
To engage the parking brake (1): Pull the
parking brake switch up wards and release. The
switch will return to the neutral position. The
Parking brake warning and Brake fluid low
warning indicator on the instrument panel will
illuminate.
The Drive Away Release feature allows the
parking brake to release automatically as the
vehicle is driven away.
To disengage the parking brake (2): With the
ignition system on or with the engine running,
apply the foot brake and press the parking
brake switch down.
If the parking brake is a pplied while the vehicle
is stationary and D or R is selected, applying
the throttle will auto matically release the
parking brake.
The parking brake is also automatically
released when the gear selector is moved from
the P position.
WARNING
The EBA system is an additional
safety system; it is not intended to
relieve the driver of his or her
responsibility for exercising due care and
attention when driving.12

Brakes

If the parking brake is inadvertently applied
when the vehicle is moving at above 3 km/h
(1.8 mph), PARK BRAKE APPLIED is displayed
in the message centre, the warning indicator in
the instrument panel will illuminate and a
warning chime will sound.
If the parking brake is a pplied whilst the vehicle
is moving, releasing the switch will disengage
the parking brake. The parking brake cannot be
applied when the vehicle is moving, if the
accelerator pedal is pressed.
Note: If the vehicle is in motion, the parking
brake should only be used as an emergency
brake.
The warning indicator in the instrument panel
will remain on for a short time, if the parking
brake is applied when the ignition system is
reverted to the convenience mode.
If a fault in the system is detected,
the amber brake warning indicator
will illuminate and PARK BRAKE
FAULT or CANNOT APPLY PARK BRAKE will
be displayed in the message centre. Seek
qualified assistance as soon as possible.
If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected, APPLY FOOT AND PARK BRAKE
will be displayed in the message centre when
the ignition is next switched on. Depress the
foot brake and pull the parking brake switch up
to apply the parking brake. This is required to
reset the parking brake system. The parking
brake will now function correctly.
CAUTION
Always apply the parking brake when
the vehicle is parked.

Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
160

Setting the speed
Accelerate as normal until the required speed is
reached.
Rotate the speed adjustment control upwards
(+) to store the vehicle speed in the memory
and engage the system.
The set speed will be displayed on the message
centre (e.g. SETSPEED 80 KM/H (50 MPH) ).
Changing the speed
There are three ways to change the set speed:
•Accelerate or brake to the desired speed
then rotate the speed adjustment control
upwards ( +).
• Increase or decrease the speed by rotating
the speed adjustment control upwards ( +)
or downwards ( -), until the required set
speed is shown on the message centre.
The vehicle speed will gradually adjust to
the selected speed.
• Increase or decrease the speed in steps of
2 km/h (1 mph) by rotating the speed
adjustment control upwards (+) or
downwards ( -) briefly until the desired
speed is obtained.
ACC operates between approximately 30 km/h
and 180 km/h (18 mph and 112 mph)
dependent on the c ountry specification.
Set speeds outside th is range will not be
captured. The ACC may apply the brakes to slow down
the vehicle to the new set speed. The new set
speed will be displayed on the message centre
until ACC is cancelled.
Follow mode gap settings
Once a set speed has been selected, the driver
can release the accelerator and the set road
speed will be maintained.
When a vehicle ahead enters the same lane or
a slower vehicle is ahead in the same lane, the
vehicle speed will be adjusted automatically
until the gap to the vehicle ahead corresponds
to the default gap setting (gap level 3). The
vehicle is now in
follow mode.
The amber warning indicator in the
instrument panel will be
illuminated.
The message centre will display the gap set.
E97091
WARNING
When in follow mode, the vehicle will
not decelerate automatically to a stop,
nor will the vehicle always decelerate
quickly enough to avoid a collision, without
driver intervention.

Adverse weather conditions
During adverse weather conditions such as
heavy rain or snowfall, the sensitivity of radar
blockage detection is incr eased, so that it can
correctly detect any reduced performance
caused by a blocked sensor.
During these conditions, the warning message
ACC SENSOR BLOCKED may be displayed
more frequently, especially in areas where
there are few roadside objects for the radar to
detect.
FORWARD ALERT FUNCTION
Limited detection and warning of objects
ahead, is provided during ACC operation by the
ACC FORWARD ALERT warning. The enhanced
forward alert feature additionally provides
warnings when ACC is not engaged; if an object
is detected close ahead, then the warning tone
and message will be issued. The brakes will not
be applied. The forward alert system does not initiate any
action. The driver must
take appropriate action
when the FORWARD ALERT message is
displayed. However, the system monitors
driver actions (e.g. braking, steering or
indicating) and may not initiate the warning
display if the appropriate action has been taken
early enough.
The Forward alert function may be switched on
or off using the forward alert switch, located
where shown.
When the indicator in the
instrument panel is on, Forward
alert is active.
The sensitivity of the warning may be changed:
• Press the gap decrease button when ACC
is disengaged to displa y and then decrease
the sensitivity of the alert.
• Press the gap increase button to display
and then increase the sensitivity of the
alert.
FORWARD ALERT is
displayed in the
message centre.
WARNING
Do not use in poor visibility,
specifically fog, heavy rain, spray or
snow.
Do not use on icy or slippery roads.

Automatic speed limiter (ASL)

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
ASL can be used in a situation where varying
vehicle speed is likely but a maximum speed
must not be exceeded. For example, where a
local speed limit is 80 km/h (50 mph), the set
speed could be at that limit or just under.
If ASL is not selected, cr uise control is always
available by simply rotating the thumb wheel
on the right-hand side of the steering wheel to
set a cruising speed. The ASL button allows the
driver to select betwee n cruise control and the
automatic speed limiter. The ASL can be set to
any speed between 30 km/h (18 mph) and 240
km/h (150 mph).
Note: Although ASL only operates at speeds
between 30 km/h (18 mph) and 240 km/h (150
mph), the maximum speed can be set when the
vehicle is stationary.
When ASL is selected, the warning indicator in
the instrument panel will illuminate. When the
ASL button is pressed ag ain, the light will
extinguish, ASL will be cancelled and cruise
control will be available again.
USING THE ASL
Setting a speed limit
• Press the ASL button.
• Use the thumb wheel ( 1) to set the
required speed. The message centre
display in the instru ment panel will show
the selected speed.
• The set speed can be adjusted at any time
by rotating the thumb wheel (1).
WARNINGS
Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) set
speeds must be within local speed
restriction limits. The driver must
always ensure that a safe speed is set, taking
into account the prevailing traffic and road
conditions.
In certain conditions, such as a steep
downhill gradient, the vehicle speed
may exceed the set speed limit. This
is because engine br aking is unable to
maintain or reduce the vehicle speed. Driver
intervention may be required.
