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.

Limp-home mode
Note: The driver should be aware that the
vehicle’s performance will be reduced and
must take this into account when driving. Also
the use of the Jaguar Sequential Shift paddles
will be disabled. In this event, seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
In the unlikely event of an electrical or
mechanical failure, tran smission operation will
be limited. The vehicle gear selector ranges P,
R , N , D and S may still be used to enable the
vehicle to be driven to a safe area.
Some faults will cause the selector to be locked
in position until the igniti on is switched off. If
the selected range flashes, it signifies that the
driver request cannot be engaged. Re-select N
and repeat the attempt.
If the transmission is still unable to select the
requested gear, contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.
Message centre display
The message centre will confirm the
JaguarDrive selector pos ition (selected gear). Selector position is sh
own highlighted at the
top of the message cent re and confirmed by
the dot on the circular representation of the
selector.
If manual mode is se lected, the numbers 1 to 6
appear at the top of the display, with the
currently selected gear highlighted.
Note: With the transmission set to permanent
manual mode and Dynamic mode selected,
when the rev limit is re ached, the gear position
indicator in the message centre will glow
amber, to indicate that the next gear should be
selected.
The message centre may also display the
following messages with associated warning
indicators:
ENGINE SYSTEMS FAULT (Red)
RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE (Red or Amber)
GEARBOX FAULT (Amber)
If any of these messages are displayed it is
likely that loss of power or driveability will be
experienced. Seek qualified assistance as soon
as possible.

Brakes
144

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Brake pads
Brake pads require a period of bedding in when
new. Drive with extra caution for the first
500 km (300 miles) to avoid the need for heavy
braking.
Brake pad wear warning
When the brake pads are wearing low, the
warning message BRAKE PADS LOW is
displayed in the message centre. Arrange for
your vehicle to be se en by your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer at the earliest opportunity.
Wet conditions
Driving through heavy ra in or water can have
an adverse effect on braking efficiency. Under
such circumstances, it is recommended that
you lightly a pply the brakes intermittently to
dry the brakes.
ABS warning indicator
If this amber warning indicator
illuminates while driving and/or
ABS FAULT is displayed in the
message centre, drive with extra caution, avoid
heavy braking where possible, and seek
qualified assistance as soon as possible.
If this red warning indicator
illuminates while driving and/or the
message LOW BRAKE FLUID is
displayed in the message centre, check the
brake fluid level at the earliest opportunity and
top-up as required. See BRAKE FLUID CHECK
(page 206).
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ABS
ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) allows
maximum brake pressure, and thus maximum
braking efficiency, to be applied, and prevents
the road wheels locking. This allows the driver
to retain steering control during heavy braking
under most road conditions.
ABS optimises tyre to road adhesion under
maximum braking conditions, though it cannot
provide increased cornering ability.
WARNINGS
Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal whilst the vehicle is in motion.
This may cause a light application of
the brakes, which can result in overheating,
reduced brake performance, and excessive
brake wear.
Never allow the vehicle to coast
(freewheel) with the engine turned
off. The engine must be running to
provide full braking assistance. The brakes will
still function with the e ngine off, but far more
pressure will be required to operate them.
If the red brake warning indicator
illuminates, safely bring the vehicle to
a stop, as quickly as possible. Seek
qualified assistance before proceeding.
Never place non-approved floor
matting or any ot her obstructions
under the brake pedal. This restricts
pedal travel and braking efficiency.
WARNINGS
ABS cannot overcome the physical
limitations of braking distance. Nor
can it overcome the lack of grip on a
road surface (e.g. aquaplaning on water).
Braking distance is increased on a
slippery surface. This applies to all
vehicles, even those fitted with ABS.
The driver should not be tempted to
take risks when driving, in the hope
that ABS will correct errors of
judgement. In all cases it remains the driver's
responsibility to driv e with due care and
attention, payi ng particular attention to the
effects of speed, weather, road conditions etc.

Adaptive cruise control (ACC)

Detection beam issues
Detection issues can occur:
1.When driving on a different line to the
vehicle in front.
2. When a vehicle edges into your lane. The
vehicle will only be detected once it has
moved fully into your lane.
3. There may be issues with the detection of
vehicles in front when going into and
coming out of a bend.
In these cases ACC may brake late or
unexpectedly. The driver should stay alert and
intervene if necessary.
ACC malfunction
If a malfunction occurs during operation of the
system in cruise or follow modes, the ACC
system will switch off a nd cannot be used until
the fault is cleared. The message DRIVER
INTERVENE appears briefly and is then
replaced by the message CRUISE NOT
AVAILABLE . If malfunction of the ACC or any
related system occurs at any other time, the
message CRUISE NOT AVAILABLE will be
displayed. It will not be possible to activate the
ACC system in any mode.
Accumulations of dirt, snow or ice on the
sensor or cover may inhibit ACC operation.
Fitting of a vehicle front protector or metallised
badges may also affect ACC operation.
The ACC system relies on its radar to detect
objects and constantly scans ahead. If the
radar detects no objects ahead in ACC or follow
mode , then the ACC will be deactivated, the
audible alarm sounds and the message
DRIVER INTERVENE displays briefly. The
message ACC SENSOR BLOCKED will then be
displayed.
The same messages may also be displayed
while driving on open roads with few objects
for the radar to detect.
Clearing the obstruction allows the system to
return to normal operation. If the obstruction is
present when ACC is inac tive, e.g. on initial
starting or with the ACC system switched off,
the message ACC SENSOR BLOCKED will be
displayed.
Tyres other than those recommended may
have different sizes. This can affect the correct
operation of the ACC.1

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.

Driving dynamics
170

DYNAMIC MODE
(V8 petrol and diesel vehicles only)
Press to operate. Dynamic mode
co-ordinates the vehicle's control
systems to deliver a high
performance driving experience. This setting
enhances key vehicle systems so that the
vehicle's full potential can be exploited. The
vehicle's responses are aimed at involving the
driver more in focused and purposeful driving,
helping swift progress.
Note: When the transmission is set to
permanent manual mode (i.e. using the
paddles to change gear while in Sport mode)
and Dynamic mode is selected, transmission
upshifts are fully controlled by the driver. This
means that the transmissi on will not change up
a gear automatically, even when the vehicle's
rev limit is reached. When the rev limit is
reached, the gear position indicator in the
message centre will glow amber, to indicate
that the next gear should be selected.
Note: Dynamic mode cannot be active at the
same time as Winter m ode. Dynamic mode will
remain selected for approximately six hours
after the ignition is swit ched off, after which
point it will need to be reselected if required.
STABILITY CONTROL
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
Dynamic Stability Contro l (DSC) is operational
whenever the engine is running, unless it has
been manually switched off. When the system
is operating, the warn ing indicator in the
instrument panel will flash.
The DSC system controls the Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS), traction control and yaw control
of the vehicle.
The DSC system assists the driver in retaining
directional control of th e vehicle in situations
where the vehicle is sliding (understeer or
oversteer). It must not encourage the driver to
drive beyond the limit of adhesion or at speeds
higher than those suitable for the prevailing
road and traffic conditions.
DSC applies braking pres sure to individual
wheels if excessive variation is detected. This
ensures that the vehicle follows the driver’s
intended direction of travel as closely as
possible.
Traction control will intervene to control wheel
spin by automatically reducing the power
output from the engine and applying braking to
individual wheels. This improves acceleration,
particularly on surfaces with uneven friction
(e.g. one wheel on ice with another on tarmac).
Note: For recommended DSC mode selection,
refer to the JaguarDri ve Control scenarios
section in this handbook.
WARNING
The fact that the vehicle is fitted with
DSC, must never allow the driver to
be tempted into taking risks which
could affect his or her sa fety or that of other
road users. In all cases, it remains the driver’s
responsibility to drive sa fely according to the
prevailing conditions.

Fuel and refuelling
178

Resetting the fuel cut-off
1.Switch the ignition off and wait for one
minute.
2. Turn the ignition on for 30 seconds.
3. Check the vehicle thor oughly for fuel leaks.
If a leak is detected switch the ignition off
immediately.
• Do not start the vehicle if a leak is
present. Seek qualified advice and have
the vehicle recovered.
4. If no leaks are detected, start the vehicle.
FUEL FILLER FLAP
Note: The fuel filler flap cannot be opened
when the alarm system is armed.
The fuel filler flap is located on the right-hand
side of the vehicle, at the rear.
1. Ensure that the vehicle is fully unlocked.
Push and release the rear of the flap (in the
area indicated in the illustration) to
unlatch.
2. Pull the fuel filler flap open. The label on
the inside of the flap indicates the correct
fuel for the vehicle. 3.

4. Stow the cap on the lip provided on the top
of the hinge arm, as shown.
When replacing the cap, turn it clockwise until
the ratchet clicks. Failur e to do so could cause
the Engine malfunction warning indicator to
illuminate.
To close the filler flap, pus h the flap closed until
it latches.
WARNING
The fuel cut-off should never be reset
if you can smell fuel, or a leak can be
seen. Doing so can lead to a fire
which may cause persona l injury or death.
WARNINGS
Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
allow the pressure to release before
fully removing the cap to avoid fuel
spillage due to rapid expansion.
Take note of all warnings and
instructions given on the label affixed
to the inside of the fi ller flap. Failure to
do so may result in injury or death.
