(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
steering wheel
The heated seats, climate seats and heated
steering wheel can be controlled from both the
Home and Climate menus on the touch-screen.

Starting the engine

KEYLESS STARTING
With the Jaguar Smart Key inside the vehicle
and the brake pedal depressed, press and
release the START/STOP button to start the
engine.
Note: On diesel models, Smart Start in
progress is displayed in the message centre. If
the brake pedal is released, a gear change is
made or if a fault occurs, Smart Start
cancelled is displayed in the message centre
and the start procedure is cancelled.
Starting a petrol engine
With the brake pedal applied and with a valid
Jaguar Smart Key in the vehicle, press and
release the START/STOP button. The engine
will start, the JaguarDrive selector will elevate
out of the centre console and the air vents in
the front fascia will ro tate to the open position.
Starting a diesel engine
With the brake pedal applied and with a valid
Jaguar Smart Key in the vehicle, press and
release the START/STOP button. In ambient
conditions, after 3 seconds, the engine will
start to crank. The JaguarDrive selector will
elevate out of the centre console and the air
vents in the front fascia will rotate to the open
position.
Note: Smart Start in progress is displayed in
the message centre prior to the engine
cranking. If, during the start procedure, the
brake pedal is released, a gear change is made
or if a fault occurs, Smart Start cancelled is
displayed in the message centre and the start
procedure is cancelled.
Cold climates
In very cold conditions, the delay between
pressing the START/STOP button and the
engine cranking, can be up to 12 seconds.
During this delay, keep the brake pedal applied
and do not press the START/STOP button
again, as this will switch off the ignition. Also in
very cold conditions, expect engine cranking
times to increase.
WARNING
Never start the engine or leave it
running, when the vehicle is in an
enclosed space. Exhaust gases are
poisonous and can cause unconsciousness
and death if inhaled.

Transmission
138

P should be selected before switching off the
engine. However, it is possible to switch the
engine off with R, D or S selected - the selector
will automatica lly select P, while retracting into
the centre console.
Note: If the engine is switched off with N
selected, the system will wait for 10 minutes
before selecting P. This procedure is to allow
the vehicle to be conveyed through a car wash
only and should not be used for vehicle
recovery purposes.
To prevent the transmission from
automatically selecting P (e.g. for vehicle
recovery purposes), it is necessary to activate
the Emergency Park Release.
See TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
(page 254).
Selector positions
P - Park: Use when parked. In this position the
transmission is locked, do not attempt to select
P if the vehicle is moving.
Note: P will be selected automatically when the
engine is switched off.
R - Reverse: Do not select if the vehicle is
moving forward.
N - Neutral: Disconnects drive to the wheels.
Use the parking brake when stopping
temporarily with N selected.
D - Drive: Gear changing is automatic for all six
forward gears. The shift points are determined
by accelerator pedal pos ition and road speed,
to provide the best ba lance of performance,
refinement and fuel economy, for the large
majority of driving conditions.
S - Sport: Gear changing is automatic for all six
forward gears, with modified gear shift points
to maximise the ve hicle response in
demanding driving condi tions. This mode is
not suitable for town or highway cruising. Note:
Both D and S positions also offer
additional features, wh ich are listed under
Automatic mode and Sport mode , later in this
section.
Stationary vehicle
When the vehicle is stationary, the selector
may be left in D or S, unless the vehicle is to be
parked. When stopping fo r extended periods,
either select P or apply the parking brake and
select N.
Selector interlock
The transmission is equippe d with an interlock,
to prevent inadvertent selection of a drive gear
(D , S or R) from the P or N positions. To
release the interlock to select a drive gear,
press the brake pedal while making the
selection.
Ensure the required driv ing range has selected
prior to releasing the brake pedal. The range
indicator ( R, D or S) on the selector and
message centre disp lays, will illuminate
continuously to confirm selection.
Note: If the brake pedal is released too early
during selector rotation from P or N to a driving
range ( R, D or S), then the selected range will
not be engaged. The selected range will flash
on the selector and message centre displays.
To obtain the selected range, press the brake
pedal, select P or N and reselect the required
range, ensuring the brake pedal is depressed.
If N is selected for less than 2 seconds (e.g.
when moving the selector between R and D),
the interlock will not ac tivate and the brake
pedal will not need to be pressed.
Note: The interlock is deactivated when the
vehicle is travelling at more than 5 km/h
(3 mph).

Transmission
140

Fast off
Activated when rapidly lifting off the
accelerator pedal and takes account of road
gradient. This feature inhibits up-shifts,
enhancing pe rformance.
Note: If Sport mode is selected, driver type
recognition will vary the activation of this
feature according to driving style.
Shift adapt under braking
Under braking, the transmission will vary the
down-shift point in proportion to braking effort
and road gradient. This feature works in
conjunction with the posit ive torque function,
resulting in a smoother down-shift.
Note: If Sport mode is selected, driver type
recognition will vary the activation of this
feature according to driving style.
Corner recognition
Inhibits up-shifts during cornering, to provide
improved vehicle balance.
Note: If Sport mode is selected, driver type
recognition will vary the activation of this
feature according to driving style.
Road gradient recognition
When the vehicle is being driven on an uphill
gradient, the transmission adapts the shift
pattern to make better use of engine power.
When driving on a long downhill gradient, the
transmission may automatically select a lower
gear, to increase engi ne braking. Selecting
Sport mode (S ) will increase the tendency of
the transmission to select a lower gear in these
conditions, further incr easing engine braking.
Note: It is also possible to manually select a
lower gear to increase e ngine braking via use of
the shift paddles.
Sport mode
To select Sport mode:
1. With the selector in D, push down on the
selector.
2. Rotate from D to S.
Note: When Sport mode is selected SPORT will
be displayed in the message centre, and the
selector indicator will illuminate.
Sport mode enhances th e responsiveness of
the transmission, to prov ide a sporting feel to
driving the vehicle. Sport mode is
recommended for over taking manoeuvres and
for when rapid progress is desired.
To return to automatic m ode move the selector
lever back to the D position. The D on the
selector display will illuminate to confirm that
automatic mode has been selected.
