2009 JAGUAR XF open bonnet

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.

Do not attempt to open the bonnet if the
pedestrian protection system has been
deployed.

Telephone

GENERAL INFORMATIONNote: The vehicle telephone system is
designed to function with a wide variety of
Bluetooth® telephones.
As these telephones have a wide range of audio
and echo characteristics, it may take a few
seconds for the vehicle telephone system to
adapt and deliver optimum audio performance.
It may be necessary to reduce the in-vehicle
volume slightly, to fully optimise audio
performance and reduce echo.
In order to achieve th e best possible audio
performance, it may be necessary to select a
lower speed on the heat er blower and reduce
the system volume slightly, when using certain
mobile phones.
Telephone networks
The telephone network standard allows you to
use your telephone in many countries.
However, telephone rece ption may be poor or
unavailable in remote re gions. This may be due
to the inadequate power of the transmitter,
which results in a weak signal or incomplete
coverage.
What is Bluetooth®?
Jaguar Bluetooth® Connectivity was
developed to be used wi th a selected range of
mobile phones, from a number of different
manufacturers. Some mobile phones feature
different operating soft ware versions - the
correct version is needed for successful
integration with the Jaguar Bluetooth®
system.
Bluetooth is an intern ational standard that
allows electronic com ponents to communicate
with each other, using a short-range radio link.
Bluetooth eliminates the need for wires or
cables: Typically, devices can communicate at
a range of up to 10 metres (33 feet).
WARNING
Using the telephone near the car: Do
not telephone inside a garage or near
an open car bonnet. The air may
contain fuel vapours a nd the telephone could
produce sparks and start a fire.
Unusual ambient conditions: Switch
off the telephone in areas where high
explosives are being used. High
frequency remote controls could be interfered
with and cause an explos ion. Switch off your
telephone in areas with a high explosion risk.
This includes filling st ations, fuel storage
areas or chemical factories, as well as places
where the air contains fuel vapour, chemicals
or metal dust. The telephone might produce
sparks and cause a fire or explosion.
Medical equipment: The functioning
of cardiac pacemakers or hearing aids
may be impaired when the phone is in
use. Check with a doctor or manufacturer
whether any such devices you or your
passengers are using, are sufficiently
protected against high-frequency energy.
Always stow your mobile phone
securely. In an accident, loose items
can cause injury.
Using any hand-held appliance while
driving, can be dangerous and is
illegal in cert ain countries.
