Alarm

Alarm trigger information
If you have reason to believe that the alarm was
triggered when you were away from the
vehicle, it is possible to check on your return
using the touch-screen.
From the touch-screen Home menu, select
Vehicle and then Veh. settings . The Security
menu is displayed automatically as the default.
Use the arrow icons to scroll to the second
screen.
A text display (arrowed) will indicate if the
alarm has been triggere d, and also indicate
what the cause of the trigger was (e.g. Driver
door, Passenger door, Inclination sensor,
Trunk, etc.).
SECURITY SENSORS
Note: If the vehicle is to be transported by
road, rail or sea, the vehicle should not be
double-locked or the tilt and intrusion sensors
should be deactivated using the touch-screen.
See PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL
(page 21). This prevents the alarm from
sounding as the vehi cle pitches and rolls.
Tilt sensor
The tilt sensor detect s any change in the
vehicle's inclination to the ground. When the
alarm is armed and the vehicle double-locked,
any change in the vehicle's inclination will
activate the tilt alarm. This feature protects
against unauthorised towing away or
jacking-up of the vehicle.
The tilt alarm is disarmed when the vehicle
security system is disarmed using the Jaguar
Smart Key.
Intrusion sensor
The intrusion sensor is mounted in the roof
console and detects any movement within the
vehicle cabin via the use of ultrasonic sound
waves. When the alarm is armed and the
vehicle double-locked, an y movement detected
inside the cabin will activate the alarm.
Note: It takes approximately 30 seconds for
the sensor to create an ultrasonic profile of the
cabin and be fully armed.
The intrusion alarm is disarmed when the
vehicle security system is disarmed using the
Jaguar Smart Key.
Note: Ensure all windows and sunroof are
closed prior to arming the alarm and
double-locking the vehicl e. Failure to do so
may result in false al arms being sounded due
to movements detected outside the vehicle.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Note: Once the system has been activated by
selecting reverse or using the switch, the front
and rear sensors are active when the gear
selector is in neutral. Therefore, if an obstacle
is detected an audible warning tone will sound.
The parking aid is automatically in standby
when the ignition is on and provides the driver
with information on most obstructions, and
their distance from the vehicle, when
manoeuvring. This is ac hieved by using four
ultrasonic sensors on each bumper.
When objects are detected the Park aid will
emit a warning tone which increases in
frequency and then becomes constant, as the
vehicle gets closer to the object.
USING THE PARKING AID
Touch-screen
To set the volume of the parking aid warning
tones:
• Select Vehicle from the touch-screen
Home menu, then select Veh. settings.
• Select Parking , then select Vol. presets.
Touch the Parking aid + or - button to increase
or decrease the warning tone volume.
Note: This adjusts both front and rear speaker
volume.
WARNINGS
It remains the driver’s responsibility
to be vigilant when reversing. Small
children or animals may not be
detected by the system.
It remains the driver’s responsibility
to detect obstacles and estimate the
vehicle’s distance from them. Some
overhanging objects , barriers, thin
obstructions or painted surfaces which could
possibly cause damage to the vehicle may not
be detected by the system. Always be vigilant
when reversing.
CAUTIONS
Objects moving away from the vehicle
will be reported. Howe ver, whilst driving
away, object warning may be temporarily
reported due to ground reflection.
Systems using the same frequency
band as the front parking sensors, may
cause irregular tones to be emitted.

Parking aid

When the parking aid is active, a pop-up screen
is initiated displaying a plan view of the vehicle
and the immediate surrounding area. This can
be cancelled by touching the screen within the
pop-up area.
Note: If a rear-view camera is fitted, when
reverse gear (R ) is selected, the camera display
is selected automatically. To view the parking
aid display, touch the screen. The rear view
camera will indicate wh en a rear parking aid
sensor has been activated, by showing a red
panel over the relevant area of the camera
display. See Rear view camera (page 152).
Rear parking aid
The rear parking aid operates only with the
ignition is on and reve rse gear selected. If
obstacles are detected within operating range
(shown in next illustra tion), the parking aid
automatically provides an audible proximity
warning. 1.
Approximately 600 mm (24 inches).
2. Approximately 1800mm (71 inches).
Note: The outer rear sensors ( 1) will show
visual detection on the touch-screen, before
the audible warn ing is given.

Front and rear parking aid
When both front and rear parking aids are
fitted, a switch is located in the overhead
console.
Pressing the switch turns both the front and
rear parking aids on or off. The switch warning
indicator will come on when the system is
turned on. A switch is not provided when only
a rear parking aid is fitted.
Note: The front parking aid will also operate
when reverse gear is selected.
The front parking aid provides an audible
proximity warning when driving forwards or
reversing.
The front and rear sensors only operate within
a fixed speed range in forward gears and are
not effective when moving forwards above
15 km/h (9 mph). Objects are detected within the approximate
operating range from the
front of the vehicle,
as shown in the illustration above:
1. 600 mm (24 inches).
2. 1800 mm (71 inches).
3. 800 mm (31 inches).
If an obstacle is detected at the front or rear of
the vehicle, a warning tone will be heard from
the front or rear speaker respectively.
Note: The outer rear sensors ( 1) will show
visual detection on the touch-screen, before
the audible warning is given.
The warning tone increa ses in rate as the
vehicle approaches the obstacle.
CAUTION
The parking aid system automatically
switches off when the vehicle is moving
above 15 km/h (9 mph) in D, and will need to
be reselected when moving below 15 km/h
(9 mph).

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).

Towing
184

Diesel engine vehicles
The diesel engine management system
incorporates sensors to determine optimum
performance. It is also designed to protect the
engine when arduous conditions are
encountered during towing. When ambient
temperature exceeds 40°C (104°F), the engine
coolant temperature may increase above
normal operating level. If this occurs, the
management system will initiate a series of
actions to restore norma l operating conditions.
The actions may include:
• A message centre message.
• Engine performance reduction.
• Air conditioning syst em cycling. The
system temperature output will fluctuate
between hot and cold, in order to dissipate
engine heat. If engine overheat persists,
the air conditioning will move to
continuous heat output.
It is advisable to bring the vehicle and trailer to
a convenient stop and allow the engine to idle
until normal temperature is restored. Do not
turn off the engine.
Trailer electrical connection
Note: The rear parking sensors are
automatically disabled when the trailer
electrical conne ction is made using Jaguar
approved towing equipment.
The vehicle's electrical system has been
designed to support all towing requirements,
and comply with legal requirements for the
specific territory in which the vehicle is first
sold.
LEVELLING
To maintain vehicle stabilit y, it is essential that
the trailer is loaded so that it remains parallel to
the ground. This is particularly important when
towing twin axled trailers.
CAUTION
Only connect appr oved electrical
circuits, which are in good condition to
the trailer socket. Connecting incorrect, or
faulty circuits may seriously damage the
vehicle's electrical circuits.
