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.
For further information consult your Jaguar
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
If the engine fails to start
When pressing the engine START/STOP button
to start the engine, if the security status
indicator lamp on the top surface of the
instrument panel rema ins flashing, a fault
condition is indicate d. Seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.

Regeneration procedure
If the warning DPF FULL SEE HANDBOOK
appears in the message centre, carry out the
following procedure as soon as possible.
Note: At all times during this procedure you
should observe all releva nt speed limits, laws
and regulations. Always ta ke account of traffic
and weather conditions and drive with
consideration for other road users.
1. Drive the vehicle until the engine reaches
normal operating temp erature. The engine
should not be left idli ng to achieve working
temperature.
2. Drive the vehicle for a further twenty
minutes, keeping the vehicle at a steady
speed between 75 km/h (45 mph) and
120 km/h (75 mph).
Keeping a constant speed enables the DPF
to regenerate more efficiently. It is
therefore recommended that Cruise
control is used to achieve this, if possible.
3. If regeneration is su ccessful, the warning
message will extinguish. If the message
remains, repeat the process.
If the warning message fa ils to extinguish after
60 minutes of driving, contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer for assistance.

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

If the selector fails to elevate
If the JaguarDrive selector is obstructed when
the engine is started, it may be prevented from
elevating out of the centre console. If this
occurs, turn off the ignition, ensure that the
selector is not obstruc ted and then start the
engine. The selector s hould elevate as normal.
If the selector still fails to elevate, even if there
is no obstruction, a faul t in the system is
indicated. The selector ca n still be used in the
lowered position, but be aware that it will not
automatically select P when the engine is
switched off, so P should be sele cted manually.
The fault should be re ctified by a Dealer/
Authorised Repairer at the earliest opportunity.
Starting
In the unlikely event that the selector did not
rotate back to P when the vehicle was
previously switched off, and the selector has
remained in R, D or S, it will not be possible to
start the engine. The vehicle will go to ignition
on. The selected range will flash and the
selector will now be unlocked, to allow the
driver to select P and start the engine.
Automatic mode
To select Drive (D) when the vehicle is
stationary:-
1. Apply the foot brake.
2. Rotate the gear selector to D.
When in D the transmission will automatically
select the most appropriate gear for the current
driving conditions.
Note: When a gear is selected the vehicle may
begin to move as soon as the foot brake is
released.
Kick-down
When D is selected and the accelerator pedal is
depressed fully, the transmission will
downshift to the lowest appropriate gear. Once
the accelerator pedal is returned to a normal
driving position, the tr ansmission will up-shift
to the highest appropriate gear.
Note: Kick-down operation will vary according
to road speed, current gear in use and
accelerator movement.

Brakes

During emergency braking conditions ABS
constantly monitors the speed of each wheel.
ABS varies the brake pressure to individual
wheels, according to the grip available. The
constant alteration of brake pressure can be
felt as a pulsing sensation through the brake
pedal. This is not a caus e for concern, as it is
designed to demonstrate to the driver that ABS
is operating.
ABS braking techniques
For optimum ABS performance, these
instructions on braking techniques during ABS
operation should be followed:
• Do not release the brake pressure when
the pulsating effect is felt. Maintain a
constant pressure until the manoeuvre is
completed.
• To familiarise y ourself with the feel of the
brake pedal during ABS braking, practise
an emergency stop pr ocedure, always
making sure it is safe to do so. With the
seat belts fitted to all occupants, drive the
vehicle at 32 km/h (20 mph) and brake
sharply.
• ABS enables the driver to steer around
obstacles during em ergency braking.
However, the consequences of turning
sharply at high speed cannot be overcome
by the ABS.
• Do not attempt to pump the brakes to
avoid skidding, as this can interfere with
ABS operation. The ABS will not allow the
wheels to skid under normal road
conditions.
• The ABS will tend to keep the vehicle
straight during braki ng. Because braking
distances may increase under certain road
conditions, it is nece ssary to plan and
make turning manoeuvres as early as
possible.
Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)
EBD balances the distribution of braking forces
between the wheels on the front and rear axles,
to maintain maximum braking under all vehicle
loading conditions.
For example; Under light loads, EBD applies
less braking effort to the rear wheels, to
maintain stability. Conv ersely, it allows full
braking effort to the rear wheels when the
vehicle is towing or is heavily laden.
A fault with the EBD system is
indicated by illumination of the red
brake warning indicator and the
message EBD FAULT is displayed in the
message centre. Gently stop the vehicle, as
soon as safety permit s, and seek qualified
assistance.
