BLIND SPOT MONITOR
The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) system
monitors a zone that covers the area adjacent
to the vehicle, that is not easily visible by the
driver and is designed to identify any object
overtaking the vehicle. Th e system uses a radar
on each side of the vehicle to identify any
overtaking vehicl e/object within the blind spot
area of the vehicle, while disregarding other
objects which may be stati onary or travelling in
the opposite direction, etc.
The radar monitors the ar ea extending from the
exterior mirror rearwards, to approximately 7
metres (23 feet) behind the rear wheels, and up
to 2.5 metres (8.2 feet) from the side of the
vehicle (the wi dth of a typical carriageway
lane).
Note: This radar sensor is approved in all RTTE
countries.
Note: The system covers an area of a fixed lane
width. If the lanes are narrower than a typical
carriageway lane, objects travelling in
non-adjacent lanes may be detected.
BSM automatically switches on and becomes
active when the vehicle is travelling at greater
than 16 km/h (10 mph) in a forward drive gear.
When the system initiates, it performs a
self-check, during which the warning icons in
the mirrors illuminate alternately for a short
period of time.
WARNINGS
The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)
system is a supplement to, not a
replacement for, a safe driving style
and use of the exterior and rear-view mirrors.
It remains the driver's re sponsibility to detect
other vehicles, and their relative distance and
speed, when deciding whet her or not it is safe
to change lanes.
Please note that BSM may not be able
to give adequate wa rning of vehicles
approaching very quickly from behind
or vehicles that are be ing overtaken rapidly.
The radar sensors may be impaired
by rain, snow or road spray. This may
affect the sy stem's ability to reliably
detect a vehicle/object wi thin the blind spot. In
such conditions, take extra care when
changing lanes.
BSM may not be able to detect all
vehicles and may also detect objects,
such as roadside barriers, etc.
CAUTIONS
Ensure that the warning indicators in the
exterior mirrors are not obscured by
stickers or other objects.
Do not attach stickers or objects to the
rear bumpers, that may interfere with
the radar sensors.

BSM is designed to work most effectively when
driving on multi-lane highways.
If an object is identified by the system as being
an overtaking vehicle/object, an amber
warning icon ( 1) illuminates in the relevant
exterior mirror, to alert the driver that there is a
potential hazard in the vehicle's blind spot and
therefore, that a lane change might be
dangerous.
Note: If an overtaking vehicle is detected on
both sides of the vehicle simultaneously, the
warning icons in both mirrors will illuminate.
Note: BSM is automatically turned off when
reverse ( R) gear is selected, when the vehicle is
in park ( P), the vehicle is travelling below
16 km/h (10 mph) and also when the electrical
connector for the trailer socket is plugged in on
vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket.
When in these conditions, an amber warning
indicator within the exterior mirror is
displayed.Sensor blockage
The BSM system will automatically disable if
either of the sensors become completely
obscured, an amber wa rning indicator dot (2)
is displayed in the exterior mirror and the
message BSM sensor blocked appears in the
message centre.
Note: Blockage testing is only initiated when
vehicle speed is above 32 km/h (20 mph) and
will take at least two minutes of accumulated
time travelling above th is speed, to determine
that the sensor is blocked.
If the sensors become blocked, then please
check that there is nothing obscuring the rear
bumper and that it is cl ear from ice, frost and
dirt.
System fault
If a fault with one of the radar sensors is
detected, an amber warn ing indicator dot is
displayed in the exterior mirror and the
message BSM not available is displayed in the
message centre.
Note: Even if the detected fault only affects the
radar sensor on one side of the vehicle, the
whole system is disabled. If the fault is
temporary, the system will operate correctly
once the engine has been switched off and then
on again.
If a fault in the system occurs, consult your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
Automatic climate control provides efficient
regulation of the vehicle environment, without
constant adjustments from the occupant.
Sensors inside the vehicle monitor
temperature, humidity an d direct sunlight. The
electronic control system automatically adjusts
the heat input, blower speed, air intake and
airflow distribution, to maintain the selected
temperature(s) and re duce misting. The air
conditioning system al so incorporates a
pollen/odour filter, to further increase the
comfort of the vehicle environment.
Automatic operation provides optimum
comfort under most driving conditions. It is recommended that automatic control
(AUTO) is selected as the normal operating
mode.
Automatic control can be overridden at any
time.

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
engine starts, then release.
If the engine still fails to start, consult your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
With the gear selector in position P, press the
engine START/STOP button. The engine will
stop and the ignition syst em will return to
convenience mode. The audio, telephone and
touch-screen systems will revert to stand-by
mode and the JaguarDrive selector will retract
into the centre console. Pressing the
START/STOP button ag ain (without pressing
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.

Transmission

Driver type recognition
In Sport mode, the transmission monitors
driving style and in combination with sensors
in the vehicle, varies the shift schedule,
fast-off, corner recognition and shift adapt
under braking functions, according to the
driving style.
Manual mode - Jaguar Sequential Shift
Shifts in the Jaguar Sequential Shift manual
mode are made using the steering wheel
mounted shift paddles and are optimised to
provide a rapid response to gear shift requests. Up-shift requests (
+) are optimised for
performance via the s hort shift function,
resulting in firmer feeling shifts than in
automatic mode. Down-shift requests ( -)
utilise a throttle blip duri ng the shift, resulting
in improved shift feel.
The Jaguar Sequential Shift manual mode can
be accessed either temporarily, or
permanently.
Temporary manual gear selection: When the
gear selector is in the D position, manual mode
may be directly accessed by the single action of
operating the steering wheel mounted shift
paddles.
This convenience feature allows immediate but
temporary use of the sh ift paddles when the
gear selector is in D.
If continued use of manua l mode is required,
the gear selector may be subsequently moved
to the S position to enter permanent manual
mode in the currently selected gear.
If the gear selector remains in the D position,
temporary manual mode will be held whilst the
driver is accelerating, decelerating, cornering
or continuing to request shifts via the paddles.
The transmission will revert to automatic
operation after a short pe riod of driving at
steady speed; alternatively the shift-up ( +)
paddle may be held for a short period
(approximately one second) to return directly
to automatic operation in D .
Permanent manual gear selection: Select the
S position, permanent manual mode is then
accessed by the operation of the steering wheel
mounted shift paddles.
The message centre will highlight the currently
selected gear.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Note: Once the system has been activated by
selecting reverse or using the switch, the front
and rear sensors are active when the gear
selector is in neutral. Therefore, if an obstacle
is detected an audible warning tone will sound.
The parking aid is automatically in standby
when the ignition is on and provides the driver
with information on most obstructions, and
their distance from the vehicle, when
manoeuvring. This is ac hieved by using four
ultrasonic sensors on each bumper.
When objects are detected the Park aid will
emit a warning tone which increases in
frequency and then becomes constant, as the
vehicle gets closer to the object.
USING THE PARKING AID
Touch-screen
To set the volume of the parking aid warning
tones:
• Select Vehicle from the touch-screen
Home menu, then select Veh. settings.
• Select Parking , then select Vol. presets.
Touch the Parking aid + or - button to increase
or decrease the warning tone volume.
Note: This adjusts both front and rear speaker
volume.
WARNINGS
It remains the driver’s responsibility
to be vigilant when reversing. Small
children or animals may not be
detected by the system.
It remains the driver’s responsibility
to detect obstacles and estimate the
vehicle’s distance from them. Some
overhanging objects , barriers, thin
obstructions or painted surfaces which could
possibly cause damage to the vehicle may not
be detected by the system. Always be vigilant
when reversing.
CAUTIONS
Objects moving away from the vehicle
will be reported. Howe ver, whilst driving
away, object warning may be temporarily
reported due to ground reflection.
Systems using the same frequency
band as the front parking sensors, may
cause irregular tones to be emitted.
