CRUISE CONTROL
1. SET - Rotate and releas e to engage cruise
control (at the vehicle's current speed).
With cruise control operating, rotate up or
down to increase or decrease the speed in
2 km/h (1 mph) steps.
2. CANCEL - Press to cancel cruise control.
The previously programmed set speed will
be retained and can be reselected by
pressing RESUME.
3. RESUME - Press to resume the previously
programmed set speed (e.g. after cruise
control has been cancelled).
4. GAP (ACC only) - Rotate up or down to
increase or decrease the time gap to the
vehicle ahead. The gap can be set to one of
four pre-defined inte rvals. The current
setting will be displayed in the message
centre.
For more information about cruise control:
See USING CRUISE CONTROL (page 156).
For more information about adaptive cruise
control (ACC): See USING ACC (page 159).

18. Left-hand direction indicator. RED
warning indicators are for primary
warnings. A primary warning must be
investigated immediately by the driver or seek
qualified assistance as soon as possible.
AMBER warning indicators are for secondary
warnings, to indicate that a vehicle system is in
operation or that the driver must take action
and then seek qualified assistance.
Other indicators within the instrument panel
indicate system status (e .g. blue for main beam
or green for direction indicators, when in use).
Indicator check
An indicator bulb check is initiated when the
ignition system is switched on and lasts for
three seconds (excepting the airbag warning
indicator which will remain on for six seconds).
If any warning indicator remains on after this
period, investigate the cause before driving.
Some warning indicators have associated
messages displayed on the message centre.
Note: Not all warning indicators are included in
the check (e.g. main beam headlamps and
direction indicators).

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)/
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) - Amber
Illuminates if a fault has been
detected in the ABS (accompanied
by a warning message in the
message centre).
The brake system will c ontinue to function
normally, but without ABS braking.
The warning indicator will also illuminate if a
fault has been detected in the EPB system
(accompanied by a warning message in the
message centre).
If the warning indicato r illuminates or stays
illuminated after the bulb check cycle, seek
qualified assistance as soon as possible.
Adaptive Front Lighting - Amber
Illuminates when there is a system
fault. Seek qualified assistance as
soon as possible.
Engine malfunction - Amber
Illuminates when the ignition
system is on and remains
illuminated until the engine is
started.
If the indicator illuminates when the engine is
running, there is an engine malfunction.
Specialised diagnostic equipment is required
to repair such faults. Seek qualified assistance
as soon as possible. The vehicle may acti
vate limp-home mode,
with the possibility of reduced engine
performance. Driv e with caution.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) - Amber
The indicator will flash twice every
second when DSC is operating.
The message DSC NOT AVAILABLE
will be displayed and the indicator will
illuminate continuously, if a fault is detected.
When Trac DSC is selected, the message TRAC
DSC is displayed for f our seconds and the
warning indicator remains illuminated.
When DSC is switched off, a chime will sound,
the message DSC OFF is displayed in the
message centre and the warning indicator
remains illuminated.
Rear fog lamps - Amber
Illuminates when the rear fog lamps
are switched on.
Adaptive Cruise Control - Amber
Illuminates when adaptive cruise
control is active, to indicate that the
vehicle is in follow mode.
Forward alert - Amber
Illuminates when the forward alert
function is active.
Airbag - Amber
Flashes if the airbag system
develops a fault, then illuminates
permanently until the fault has been
diagnosed and cleared.
Seek qualified assistance as soon as possible.
WARNING
If the ABS and brake warning
indicators are illuminated at the same
time, do not drive the vehicle until the
fault is rectified. Seek qualified assistance
immediately.

AUDIBLE WARNINGS AND INDICATORS
Various sounds are produced for warning and notification purposes as follows:Hazard or Condition Chime or tone/remedy
External lamps remain on when
the driver’s door is opened. A chime will sound until the lamps are switched off or driver’s
door is closed (unless the lighting control is in
AUTO position).
Hazard warning indicators on. A ti cking will sound until the hazard indicators are switched off.
Direction indicators on. A tick ing will sound until the indicators are switched off.
Memory 1 (or 2) settings saved. A short tone as the memory selection is saved.
Airbag system failure. A tone sequence is repeated five times. Seek qualified assistance as soon as possible.
Seat belt reminder. A chime will sound until an unfastened se at belt is fastened. The
warning will cease if occupied fr ont seat belts are buckled, the
ignition is turned off or more than approximately three minutes
has elapsed since the start of the chime.
Electric parking brake (EPB). If the EPB is a pplied while the vehicle is moving a continuous
chime will sound; release the EPB. If there is a fault with the
system which would prevent the a pplication of the EPB, a brief
sequence of chimes is initiated.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
driver intervene. Multiple chime. Apply the brakes.
ACC low speed automatic
switch off. A chime will sound to indicate that the ACC system is no longer
operating.
Forward Alert Multiple chime. Apply the brakes.
Speed is over 15 km/h (9 mph)
above the set limit speed. A short warning chime. Reduce speed.
Gear selector is not in Park with
ignition off. A chime will sound.
Select Park.
Entry delay warning (European
markets only). Intermittent slow, low pitc
hed chime. Disarm vehicle.
The Jaguar Smart Key cannot be
detected. A chime will sound. The remote ha
ndset should be inserted into
the starter control unit.
The Jaguar Smart Key is to be
removed from the starter
control unit. A chime will sound for 60 seconds if
the Jaguar Smart Key is in
the starter control unit and the driver’s door is opened. The
remote handset should be remove d from the starter control unit.
DSC OFF A chime will sound.

Adaptive cruise control (ACC)

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system is
designed to aid the driver to maintain a gap
from the vehicle ahead or a set road speed if
there is no slower vehicle ahead. The system is
intended to provide enhanced operation of the
vehicle when following other vehicles which
are in the same lane and travelling in the same
direction.
The ACC system uses a radar sensor, which
projects a beam directly forward of the vehicle
to detect objects ahead.
The radar sensor is m ounted centrally behind
the bumper cover above the cooling aperture,
to provide a clear view forward for the radar
beam.
USING ACC
The system is operated by adjustment controls
mounted on the steering wh eel. The driver can
also intervene at any time by use of the brake
or accelerator pedals. The steering wheel
adjustment controls operate as follows:
1. SET - Rotate the thumbwheel upwards ( +)
or downwards ( -), to increase or decrease
speed, until the desire d speed is achieved.
2. Gap increase or decr ease. Four settings
available by adjusting the thumb wheel.
3. CANCEL - Cancels but retains the set
speed in memory.
4. RESUME - Resumes the set speed after it
has been cancelled.
WARNING
ACC is not a collision warning or
avoidance system. Additionally, ACC
will not react to:
• Stationary or slow moving vehicles below
10 km/h (6 mph).
• Pedestrians or objects in the roadway.
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
CAUTION
Only use ACC when conditions are
favourable (i.e. main roads with free
flowing traffic).
Do not use in poor visibility, specifically
fog, heavy rain, spray or snow.
E94163
Do not use on icy or slippery roads.
It is the drivers re sponsibility to stay
alert, drive safely and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.
Keep the front of the vehicle free from
dirt, metal badges or objects, including
vehicle front protectors, which may
prevent the sensor from operating.
Do not use ACC when entering or
leaving a motorway.
CAUTION
