Lighting
76

Daylight running lamps
In certain countries it is a legal requirement for
the lamps to be on during the hours of daylight.
With the rotary collar in the OFF position, low
beam headlamps, side lamps, tail, number
plate lamps and, where fitted, side marker
lamps will switch on automatically with the
following conditions:
• The ignition is on (market dependent).
• The vehicle gear selector out of park.
• The park brake is not applied (is released).
Condensation
In certain circumstances, misting may occur
on the inside of a lamp lens. This is caused by
natural changes in environmental conditions.
This misting is not detrimental to lamp
performance and will clear during normal
usage.
AUTOLAMPS
A light sensor, mounted on the front of the
fascia, monitors exteri or light levels and
automatically switches the side lamps and low
beam headlamps on or off.
The ignition system must be on for full
automatic light operation.
When light fades towards dusk, the side lamps
and headlamps will sw itch on automatically.
At dawn, as light increases, the side lamps and
headlamps switch off automatically.
Do not cover the sensor and keep the
windscreen clean. Obstruct ing the light in this
area of the sensor may lead to unwanted
operation of the side lamps and headlamps.
Note: Low exterior light levels, caused by
adverse weather conditi ons, may also cause
the autolamp system to switch on the side and
headlamps.
Windscreen wiper detection
This function only operat es when autolamps is
selected. The side lamps and headlamps will
switch on automatically if the windscreen
wipers are switched on for 20 seconds or
more. Once the windscreen wipers are
switched off, the side lamps and headlamps
will automatically switch off two minutes later.

Starting the engine
134

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.
Note: If the Jaguar Smart Key is placed in the
door pocket, it may be outside the range of the
sensors when the door is opened.
Note: If the fuel system inertia switch has
tripped, the ignition circuit will be isolated.
See FUEL CUT-OFF (page 177).
Petrol engines
If the engine persistently fails to start, press the
START/STOP button (without applying the
brake pedal) to return the ignition to
convenience mode. Slowly depress the
accelerator pedal fully, hold it in this position
and press the START/STOP button with the
brake pedal applied, the engine will start to
crank. Release the accelerator pedal when the
engine starts.
If the engine still fails to start, consult your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Diesel engines
If the engine persistently fails to start, press
and hold the START/STOP button (with the
brake pedal applied). Keep the START/STOP
button and the brake pedal pressed until the
engine starts, then release.
If the engine still fails to start, consult your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
With the gear selector in position P, press the
engine START/STOP button. The engine will
stop and the ignition syst em will return to
convenience mode. The audio, telephone and
touch-screen systems will revert to stand-by
mode and the JaguarDrive selector will retract
into the centre console. Pressing the
START/STOP button ag ain (without pressing
the brake pedal) will activate the systems.
CAUTION
The fitting of an engine block heater
does not eliminate the need for
antifreeze.
WARNING
Never switch off the engine when the
vehicle is in motion.

Transmission

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The transmission system is designed to
operate in two distinct modes, conventional
automatic and Jaguar Sequential Shift.
The automatic modes are accessed by the gear
selector:
•D - Drive - automatic shifting.
• S - Sport - sport automatic shifting.
The Jaguar Sequential Shift mode enables
sequential manual gear selection in D
(temporary) and S (permanent) modes, via the
steering wheel m ounted paddles.
Note: In addition to the st andard shift patterns
available in D and S, the transmission will
adapt to differing conditions by modifying shift
points, based upon vehicl e sensor information
for road gradient, cornering, braking pressure
and driving style.
JaguarDrive selector
The JaguarDrive selector elevates out of the
centre console when the engine is started, in
readiness for gear selection. Press the brake
pedal, then rotate the control to select the
chosen gear ( P, R , N or D) or, from D, press
down on the control and rotate to select S
(Sport).
CAUTIONS
Never select the Park ( P) position whilst
the vehicle is in motion. Doing so may
cause serious damage to the transmission.
Never select the Reverse ( R) position
whilst the vehicle is in forward motion.
Doing so may cause serious damage to the
transmission.
Never select a forward gear whilst the
vehicle is in rearward motion. Doing so
may cause serious damage to the
transmission.
Do not rev the engine or allow it to run
above normal idle speed while selecting
D or R, or while the vehicle is stationary with
any gear selected.
Do not allow the vehicle to remain
stationary for any length of time, with a
gear selected and the engine running. Always
select P or N if the engine is to idle for a
prolonged period.

Parking aid

The front or rear warning tone will become
continuous when the obstacle is detected at or
within 300 mm (12 inches) from the vehicle.
Note: The outer front and rear sensors will
switch off if the distance to an object increases
or remains constant for 3 seconds. The
sensors will reactivate automatically if a new
object is detected with in the operating range,
or if the distance to the original object reduces.
Rear fitted accessories
Particular care must be taken when reversing
with rear fitted accessories e.g. bicycle carrier,
as the rear park assist will only indicate the
distance from the bumper to the obstacle.
Cleaning the sensors
Do not clean the sensors with abrasive or sharp
objects or materials.
For reliable operation, th e sensors in the front
and rear bumpers should be kept free from ice,
frost and grime.
When using a high pressure spray the sensors
should only be sprayed br iefly and not from a
distance of less than 200 mm (8 inches).
System fault
If the system has a fault when engaging reverse
gear or turning on the ignition, then a single,
three second tone will be heard (only once per
ignition cycle) and a pop-up warning will
appear on the touch-scre en. If both front and
rear parking aids are fitted, the warning
indicator in the parking aid switch will flash for
three seconds and then switch off, if a fault is
detected.
If a fault is detected, the system is
automatically disabled.
The parking aid may sound spurious tones if it
detects a frequency tone using the same band
as the sensors (e.g. air brakes).

159
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

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
