2009 JAGUAR XF cruise control

Adaptive cruise control (ACC)

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.

Adaptive cruise control (ACC)

ADVANCED EMERGENCY BRAKE
ASSIST
On vehicles fitted with Advanced Emergency
Brake Assist, brake response is improved
during emergency braking when a moving
vehicle is detected close ahead.
Advanced Emergency Brake Assist activates If
the risk of collision increases after the
FORWARD ALERT warning is displayed.
See FORWARD ALERT FUNCTION (page 164).
The brakes are automatica lly applied gently in
preparation for rapid braking (which may be
noticeable). If the brake pedal is then pressed
quickly, then braking is implemented fully,
even if the pressure on the pedal is light.
See HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ABS
(page 144).
Advanced Emergency Brake Assist is available
at speeds above approximately 7 km/h (5 mph)
and will function even if Forward Alert and
Adaptive Cruise Control are switched off. A
fault with the system will be indicated by the
warning FORWARD ALER T UNAVAILABLE
appearing in the mess age centre. Advanced
Emergency Brake Assist will not be available
until the fault is rectified.
WARNING
Advanced Emergency Brake Assist, is
an additional safety system and is not
intended to relieve the driver of the
responsibility for exer cising due care and
attention when driving.
CAUTION
The system may not react to slow
moving vehicles and will not react to
stationary vehicles or vehicles not
travelling in the same direction as your vehicle.
Advanced Emergency Brake Assist can
only improve braking performance if the
driver applies the brakes.
Warnings may not appear if the distance
to the vehicle ahead is very small or if
steering wheel and pedal movements
are large (e.g. to avoid a collision).
Advanced Emergency Brake Assist
utilises the same radar sensor as
Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward
Alert - the same limita tions of performance
apply.

MESSAGE CENTRE INFORMATION MESSAGES
MessageMeaning
CRUISE OVERRIDE Driver is pressing the accelerator pedal overriding cruise control function. Message will disappear when accelerator pedal is released
and cruise control speed is resumed.
CRUISE CANCELLED Driver has cancelle d cruise control or is braking.
CRUISE NOT AVAILABLE Cruise control or Adaptive
Cruise Control malfunction.
DRIVER INTERVENE Action by the driver to apply the brakes is required.
SETSPEED XXX KM/H Speed set fo r Adaptive Cruise Control.
GAP Set the distance (time gap).
RADAR SENSOR BLOCKED Clean the front of the vehicle in the area of the sensor unit (the sensor
is mounted centrally behind the
bumper cover above the cooling
aperture).
This message may also appear under the following conditions:
If stone chip protect ion has been applied.
On rural roads with few roadside objects.
In heavy rain.
FORWARD ALERT OFF Forward alert feature has been switched off.
WARNING: A warning will not be given for objects detected in
the vehicle’s path of travel.
FORWARD ALERT Forward Alert feature has been switched on or the setting changed. A
warning will be given for objects detected in the vehicle path of travel.
A longer gap indicates that the system will warn when detected objects
are further away than the previous setting.
Action by the driver to ap ply the brakes is required.
FORWARD ALERT UNAVAILABLE Advanced emergency brake assist
and Forward Alert functions are
unavailable.

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.

Driving dynamics

TracDSC
TracDSC is an alternative setting of DSC with
reduced system interventions. With TracDSC
engaged, traction may be somewhat increased,
although stability may be reduced compared to
normal DSC. TracDSC is intended for use only
on dry tarmac, by suitably experienced drivers
and should not be select ed for other surfaces
or by drivers with insufficient skill and training
to operate the vehicle safely with the TracDSC
function engaged.
The less restrictive TracDSC setting may be
preferred, for example, by expert drivers
engaged in high performance driving on dry
Tarmac surfaces such as tracks and circuits.
Switching between DSC and Trac DSC
• Press and hold the DSC switch for less
than 10 seconds.
• The message centre will temporarily
display either Trac DSC or DSC ON.
• The warning indicator in the instrument
panel will illuminate while Trac DSC is
selected.
• The warning indicator will flash when DSC
or Trac DSC is active.
Note: If cruise control is engaged, it will
automatically disengage if stability control
activates.
Switching between DSC OFF and ON
Switching DSC OFF
• Press and hold the DSC switch for more
than 10 seconds.
• The message centre will display DSC OFF
and a short warning chime will sound.
• The warning indicator in the instrument
panel will illuminate.
Switching DSC ON
If DSC is OFF:
• Press and release the DSC switch.
• The DSC system will switch on, the
message centre will temporarily display
DSC ON .
• The warning indicator in the instrument
panel will be extinguished.
Note: Switching the engine off and then on
again, will always revert DSC status to DSC ON,
regardless of which Ja guarDrive Control mode
is selected.
WARNING
Vehicle safety may be reduced by
inappropriate use of TracDSC.
TracDSC should only be used in
suitable conditions.
