2009 JAGUAR XF sensor

Windows and mirrors
98

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.

remain permanently on view, even when the
ignition is switched off. From the touch-screen Climate menu, select
Settings
. Select Vent rotation Always open .
Rear vents
The temperature of the air supplied by the rear
air vents is dependent on the combined
temperature settings for the driver and front
passenger. For example, if the driver
temperature is set to 21°C (70°F) and 20°C
(68°F) for the front passenger, the temperature
of the air supplied to the rear of the vehicle will
be approximately 20.5°C (69°F).

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.

is turned on.
When selected, the air is recirculated inside the
vehicle. This helps to ma intain a high or low
temperature, and is useful for preventing
fumes from entering the vehicle.
Recirculation may also be selected in AUTO
mode, if the climate control system detects
high levels of pollution in the atmosphere
outside the vehicle (if a smog sensor is fitted).
Manual operation of the recirculation control
will override the automatic setting. This facility
can be switched off through the Settings menu
on the touch-screen.
Note: Prolonged use at low temperatures may
cause the windows to mist.
Air conditioning

(even if higher temperature settings are
selected).
The air conditioning system is also switched on
automatically in defrost mode ( DEF) in order to
dehumidify the air.
Note: Water may collect unde rneath the vehicle
when parked. This is moisture expelled from
the interior of the vehicle by the air
conditioning system a nd is not cause for
concern.
Heated/climate seats and heated

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.
