Child safety
60

This symbol is affixed to the end of the fascia
on the passenger side. Its purpose is to warn
against the use of a rear facing child seat in the
front passenger seat, when the front passenger
airbag is fitted.
Child restraint check list
Every time a child travels in the vehicle observe
the following:-
•Use appropriate ch ild restraints.
• Carefully follow the restraint system
manufacturers instructions.
• Adjust the harnesses for every child on
every trip.
• Ensure that all slack is removed from the
adult seat belt.
• Always attach the top tether when
installing an ISOFIX seat. See CHILD SEAT
ANCHOR POINTS (page 62).
• Always check the security of the child
restraint.
• Do not dress a child in bulky clothing, or
place any objects/padding between the
child and the restraint. •
Regularly check the fit and condition of
child restraints. If the fit is poor, or
wear/damage is visible replace the
restraint immediately.
• Set a good example - always wear your
seat belt.
CHILD SEAT POSITIONING
For optimum safety, child ren should travel in
the rear of the vehicle at all times; front
passenger seat travel is not recommended.
However, if it is essential that a child travels in
the front, set the vehicle seat fully rearward and
seat the child in an approved forward-facing
child seat. Do not use a rear-facing child seat -
an inflating airbag could impact with the seat
and cause serious injury.
Note: The information contained in the
following table may not be applicable to all
countries. If you are in any doubt regarding the
type and fitment of child seats seek advice from
your Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Note: The legislation which governs how and
where children should be carried when
travelling in a vehicle, is subject to change. It is
the responsibility of the driver to comply with
all regulations in force.
WARNING
Original text according to ECE R94.
01. Extreme hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an airbag in front of it!

CHILD SEAT ANCHOR POINTS
ISOFIX anchor points (not Australia)
Both of the outer rear seat positions are
equipped to accept ISOFIX restraints.
This symbol is shown on a label
sewn into the seats to indicate the
position of the ISOFIX lower
anchorages.
Note: The information contained in the
following table may not be applicable to all
countries. If you are in any doubt regarding the
type and fitment of child seats seek advice from
your Jaguar Dealer/A uthorised Repairer.
WARNINGS
Do not attempt to fit ISOFIX restraints
to the centre rear seating position.
The anchor bars are not designed to
hold an ISOFIX restraint in this position.
If the restraint is not correctly
anchored, there is a significant risk of
injury to the child in the event of a
collision or emergency braking.
Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only loads
imposed by correctly fitted child
restraints. Under no circumstances are they to
be used for adult seat belts, harnesses or for
attaching other items or equipment to the
vehicle.
If removing a head restraint in order
to fit a child restraint, always secure
the head restraint when storing it. If
left loose in the vehicle, it may cause death or
serious injury during sudden braking or an
impact.

ADJUSTING THE STEERING WHEEL
The steering wheel can be adjusted for tilt and
reach, as follows:
1.Turn the switch to the COLUMN or AUTO
position.
2. Move the switch forwards or rearwards to
adjust reach.
3. Move the switch up or down to adjust tilt. Two steering wheel positions can be stored
and recalled by the dr
iver position memory
system.
The message centre will indicate which switch
position has been select ed by displaying the
message COLUMN ADJUST or COLUMN
ADJUST AUTO .
Entry and exit mode
Entry and exit mode provides automatic
movement of the steering column, to allow
easier entry to, or exit from, the vehicle.
Entry and exit mode is selected by setting the
steering column adjustment switch to the
AUTO position.
Exit: If the driver's door is opened, the steering
column will move to the uppermost tilt
position, unless alread y in that position.
Entry: When the door is closed and the ignition
is switched on, the steering column will return
to its previous position.
Note: If the steering column switch is moved
away from AUTO when the steering column is
in the Exit position, the steering column will
move back to its previous (driving) position,
when the driver's door is closed and the
ignition is switched on.
If the steering column position is manually
adjusted during Entry or Exit operation,
steering column movement will stop.
WARNING
Never adjust the steering wheel
position whilst the vehicle is in
motion. Doing so will reduce control
of the vehicle and may cause unpredictable
steering movements.
CAUTION

security devices, as movement of the
steering wheel in entr y and exit mode, could
result in damage to the vehicle or possible
injury to the occupant.
