Alarm

Alarm trigger information
If you have reason to believe that the alarm was
triggered when you were away from the
vehicle, it is possible to check on your return
using the touch-screen.
From the touch-screen Home menu, select
Vehicle and then Veh. settings . The Security
menu is displayed automatically as the default.
Use the arrow icons to scroll to the second
screen.
A text display (arrowed) will indicate if the
alarm has been triggere d, and also indicate
what the cause of the trigger was (e.g. Driver
door, Passenger door, Inclination sensor,
Trunk, etc.).
SECURITY SENSORS
Note: If the vehicle is to be transported by
road, rail or sea, the vehicle should not be
double-locked or the tilt and intrusion sensors
should be deactivated using the touch-screen.
See PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL
(page 21). This prevents the alarm from
sounding as the vehi cle pitches and rolls.
Tilt sensor
The tilt sensor detect s any change in the
vehicle's inclination to the ground. When the
alarm is armed and the vehicle double-locked,
any change in the vehicle's inclination will
activate the tilt alarm. This feature protects
against unauthorised towing away or
jacking-up of the vehicle.
The tilt alarm is disarmed when the vehicle
security system is disarmed using the Jaguar
Smart Key.
Intrusion sensor
The intrusion sensor is mounted in the roof
console and detects any movement within the
vehicle cabin via the use of ultrasonic sound
waves. When the alarm is armed and the
vehicle double-locked, an y movement detected
inside the cabin will activate the alarm.
Note: It takes approximately 30 seconds for
the sensor to create an ultrasonic profile of the
cabin and be fully armed.
The intrusion alarm is disarmed when the
vehicle security system is disarmed using the
Jaguar Smart Key.
Note: Ensure all windows and sunroof are
closed prior to arming the alarm and
double-locking the vehicl e. Failure to do so
may result in false al arms being sounded due
to movements detected outside the vehicle.

Passive arming
This vehicle is fitted with a passive arming
feature which can, if enabled, automatically
arm the anti-theft system. Passive arming will
automatically arm the perimeter alarm system
30 seconds after the driver's door is closed,
provided all doors, bonnet and luggage
compartment are closed, the ignition is
switched off and there are no valid Jaguar
Smart Keys inside the vehicle.
It will also automatically arm the perimeter
alarm system 30 seconds after the vehicle is
unlocked, if none of the doors or the luggage
compartment are opened.
Passive arming will not lock the vehicle,
although access to the luggage compartment
via the interior or exterior release buttons will
be inhibited and the fuel filler flap will be
locked.
Passive arming can be di sabled/enabled using
the touch-screen. See PROGRAMMING THE
REMOTE CONTROL (page 21).
Automatic relocking and re-arming of the
alarm
Automatic relock and re-a rm is a feature which,
if enabled, automatically relocks the vehicle
and arms the anti-theft system.
If the vehicle is in a locked and armed state and
the remote unlock button is pressed, but none
of the doors or the luggage compartment are
opened within 45 seconds, the vehicle will
automatically relock all the doors and the
luggage compartment a nd will re-arm the
alarm system.
Note: Automatic relocking and arming will only
relock to a centrally lo cked state and will only
arm to a perimeter alarm condition.
Automatic relocking an d re-arming can be
disabled/enabled using the touch-screen.
See PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL
(page 21).
Sensor faults
If the security systems detect a fault with one
of the security sensors, two error tones will
sound from the alarm sire n after the vehicle is
unlocked and disarmed. If this condition
occurs, please visit your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer for rectification.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
For information on adjusting power-operated
head restraints, refer to the Electric seats
section. SeeELECTRIC SEATS (page 42).
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. See WHIPLASH PROTECTION
(page 57).
Head restraint tilt adjustment
To adjust the angle of the head restraint, press
the locking button on the side of the restraint
(solid arrow) and move the restraint to the
desired position. Release the button to lock in
place.
The head restraint should be tilted so that it is
in close proximity to the back of the head, when
seated in the normal driving position.
WARNINGS
Head restraints are designed to
support the head, not the back of the
neck. The restraint must be
positioned correctly to restrain rearward
movement of the head in a collision. An
incorrectly adjusted head restraint increases
the risk of death or seri ous injury in the event
of a collision.
Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of the head restraint is above the
centre line of the head. An incorrectly
adjusted head restraint increases the risk of
death or serious injury in the event of a
collision. See SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION (page 41).
On front head restra ints, it is possible
to adjust the tilt of the head restraint
forwards or backwards. For greater
protection in the event of a collision, the head
restraint should be adjust ed so that it is as
close to the back of the head as is practical.
Do not drive, or carry passengers,
with the head restraints removed
from occupied seat s. The absence of
a correctly adjusted head restraint increases
the risk of death or seri ous injury in the event
of a collision.
Never adjust the head restraints while
the vehicle is in motion. An
incorrectly adjusted head restraint
increases the risk of death or serious injury in
the event of a collision.

Low screen wash
If the low washer fluid warning is on, the
windscreen wipers will not operate when the
wash/wipe is activated, even though there may
be washer fluid remaining in the reservoir
which is sprayed onto the screen. This is to
prevent damage to the wiper blades, scratching
of the glass or smearing dirt across the screen.
Normal, fast or single wipe can be selected
manually, to clear any spray from the
windscreen.
Timed jet function
If the timed jet func tion is configured,
the washer jets will only operate on the
up stroke of the wipers.
This function can be enabled/disabled by your
