Tyre pressure monitoring systemTYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
The TPM system provides a low
pressure warning and does not
re-inflate your tyres. Tyre pressures
should be checked regularly using an
accurate pressure gauge when cold.
The TPM system can NOT register
damage to a tyre. Regularly check the
condition of your tyres, especially if
the vehicle is driven off-road.
When inflating tyre s, care should be
taken to avoid bending or damaging the
TPM system valves. Always ensure
correct alignment of the inflation head
to the valve stem.
Note: Non-approved accessories may interfere
with the system. If this occurs, TYRE
PRESSURE MONITORI NG SYSTEM FAULT is
displayed in the message centre.
Wheels fitted with a TPM system can be
visually identified by the external metal lock nut
and valve ( 1). All Jaguar n on-TPM system
wheels have a rubber valve fitted (2).
TPMS OPERATION
The TPM system monitors pressure of the
tyres via sensors located in each wheel and a
receiver located within the vehicle.
Communication between sensor and receiver
is via Radio Freque ncy (RF) signals.
If the telltale light illu minates, you should stop
and check your tyres as soon as possible and
inflate them to the recommended pressure as
stated on the tyre pressure placard. If low
pressure warnings occur frequently, the cause
must be determined and rectified.
When driving through variable climatic
conditions the TPM syst em warnings may be
intermittent.
Your vehicle will also indicate a TPM system
malfunction by initially flashing and
subsequent continuous illumination of the
warning telltale. A text message will
accompany the system malfunction and will
display TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM FAULT . The TPM system fault
sequence will be activated at every ignition
cycle until the fault is rectified. When a
malfunction occurs, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as
intended.
TPM system malfuncti ons may occur for a
variety of reasons which may include other
radio frequency systems that could cause
interference or the installation of incompatible
replacement tyres on the vehicle.
The tyre pressure warning
comprises a yellow warning
telltale within the instrument
panel, and the associated
messages within the message
centre.

TEMPORARY USE SPARE WHEEL
AND TYRE CHANGE
If the temporary use spare wheel is fitted the
system will automatically recognise the change
in wheel positions. The n after approximately
ten minutes of drivin g above 25 km/h (18
mph), a message deta iling which tyre is
affected (e.g. FRONT LEFT) and TYRE NOT
MONITORED will be displayed accompanied by
illumination of the warning telltale and the
corresponding block in the vehicle graphic.
The warning telltale will initially flash and will
subsequently revert to continuous illumination.
Extended use of the temporary use spare wheel
will produce an additional text message TYRE
PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM FAULT .
This TPM system display sequence will be
activated at every ignition cycle until the
temporary use spare wheel is replaced by a
fully operational full size wheel and tyre
assembly. Always replace the temporary use
wheel before having TPM system faults
investigated. The fault may well be rectified
with the fitment of a fu lly operational full size
running tyre in lieu of the temporary use spare
wheel assembly.
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
UNAVAILABLE
If all four running wheels and tyres are changed
for a set that are not fitted with TPM system
sensors (e.g. a set of winter wheels and tyres),
the message TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
UNAVAILABLE is displayed. TPM system
sensors must be fitted to the wheels and tyres
for the system to be able to warn of low tyre
pressures.
When sensors are fitted to the replacement
wheel and tyre set, the vehicle needs to be
driven until the TPM system recognizes the
sensors before TPM will be available ( TYRE
PRESSURE MONITORING AVAILABLE is
displayed).
TYRE CHANGING
Always have your tyres serviced or changed by
a qualified technician.
Care must be taken to avoid contact between
the bead of the tyre and the sensor during
removal and refitting of the tyre, otherwise the
sensor may become damaged and or
inoperable.
Valve stem seal, washer, nut, valve core
and cap should be repl aced at every tyre
change. Valve stem seal, washer and
nut must be replaced if valve retention
nut is loosened. Sensor units and nuts
must be refitted using correct torque
figures and associated profile. Damage
to the vehicle may result if these
precautions are not taken.
Sensors can be removed from the wheel by the
unscrewing of the va lve retention nut.

REPLACEMENT TPMS SENSOR
Should the sensor require replacing, it should
be carried out by a Deal er/Authorised Repairer.
A replacement sensor must be fitted to a
running wheel in order to be recognised by the
system. The vehicle needs to be stationary for
15 minutes during the sensor fitment before
the system is ready to detect the new sensor.
The vehicle must be driven for a minimum of
fifteen minutes after th e sensor change, and
then remain stationary for fifteen minutes to
activate full TPM system operation.
If the TPM system warning for any wheel does
not clear, even after ensuring correct inflation
and driving for more than ten minutes above 25
km/h (18 mph), you s hould seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.

Parking aidsPARKING AID OPERATION
1. Rear view camera. See 93, REAR VIEW
CAMERA .
2. Parking aid switch: Press to turn the
parking aid on and off.
3. Approximately 600 mm (24 inches).
4. Approximately 800 mm (31 inches).
5. Approximately 1800mm (71 inches).
It remains the driver’s responsibility
to detect obstacles and estimate the
vehicle’s distance from them. Some
overhanging objects, barriers, small
children, animals, thin obstructions or
painted surfaces may not be detected
by the system. Systems using the same frequency
band as the front parking sensors, may
cause irregular tones to be emitted.
Note: The sensors are active when the gear
selector is in neutral, and in drive after moving
from reverse. Therefore , if an obstacle is
detected an audible warning tone will sound.
REAR FITTED ACCESSORIES
Particular care must be taken when reversing
with rear fitted accessories, as the rear parking
aid will only indicate the distance from the
bumper to the obstacle.

CLEANING THE SENSORS
For reliable operation, th e sensors in the front
and rear bumpers should be kept free from ice,
frost and grime.
Do not clean the sensors with abrasive
or sharp objects or materials.
When using a high pressure spray, only
spray the sensors briefly, from a
distance greater than 200 mm
(8 inches).
PARKING AID SYSTEM FAULT
If the system has a fault when engaging reverse
gear or turning on the ignition, then a single, 3
second tone will be heard and a pop-up
warning will appear on the touch screen. If
both front and rear park ing aids are fitted, the
warning indicator in the parking aid switch will
flash for 3 seconds and then switch off.
If a fault is detected, the system is
automatically disabled.
Note: The parking aid may emit spurious tones
if it detects a frequenc y tone using the same
band as the sensors (e.g. air brakes).
REAR VIEW CAMERA
It remains the driver's responsibility
to detect obstacles and estimate the
vehicle's distance from them when
reversing.
When Reverse ( R) is selected, the system uses
a camera to provide a wide-angle colour rear
view image on the touch screen.
The camera display has priority over the
parking aid display. To view the parking aid
display instead, or to cancel camera display at
any time, touch the display.
The display also incorporates graphic overlays,
indicating vehicle di rection, width and
proximity to surrounding objects. The camera image will not be displayed;
•
If Drive ( D) is selected and the vehicle
speed is greater than 16 km/h (10 mph).
• If Drive ( D) is selected for longer than 2
seconds.
A. Solid line: The projec ted wheel trajectory.
B. Dotted line: The safe working width of the
vehicle (including exterior mirrors).
C. Boot access guideline: Do not reverse
beyond this point if boot access is
required.
D. Bumper inclusion.
E. Parking sensor activati on: A coloured area
appears, to indicate which rear sensor(s)
has been activated.

Cruise control
94
Cruise controlUSING CRUISE CONTROL
The cruise (speed) contro l system can be used
by the driver to maintain a selected vehicle
speed above 30 km/h (18 mph).
1. SET (+ / - ) : Roll upwards to engage cruise
control. Roll up or down to increase or
decrease the set cruising speed.
2. CANCEL : Press to disengage cruise
control. The set sp eed memory will be
retained.
3. RESUME : Resumes the cruise control set
speed after it has been disengaged.
SETTING VEHICLE SPEED
Only use cruise control when
conditions are favourable (e.g.
straight, dry, open roads with light
traffic).
In certain conditions, such as a steep
downhill gradient, the vehicle speed
may exceed the set cruising speed.
This is because eng ine braking is
unable to maintain or reduce the
vehicle speed. Driver intervention
may be required.
When you are travelling at the speed you
require press the set button.
Cruise control will enga ge and maintain the set
speed and you can remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal. Note:
Cruise control w ill automatically
disengage when the brake pedal is pressed or
when the vehicle speed falls below 30 km/h
(18 mph).
CHANGING THE CRUISE SPEED
There are two ways to change the set speed:
• Accelerate or decele rate to the desired
speed then roll the SET control upwards.
• Increase or decrease the speed by rolling
the SET control up or down until the
desired speed is obtained.
Note: The set speed can be increased or
decreased in steps of 2 km/h (1 mph), by
rolling the SET control up or down briefly until
the desired spee d is obtained.
RESUMING THE SET SPEED
If the vehicle is accelerated above the set
speed, then the set speed will be resumed
when the accelerator pedal is released.
If the CANCEL button ( 2) or the brake pedal is
pressed, the cruise cont rol will disengage but
the set speed memory will be retained. Press
RESUME (3) and the vehicle will return to the
set speed.
Note: Cruise control will not resume at speeds
below 30 km/h (18 mph).
RESUME should only be used if the
driver is aware of the set speed and
intends to return to it.
It is not recomme nded to resume set
speed when a low gear is selected as
excessive engine speeds will occur.

speed of 192 km/h (120 mph).
• The accelerator pedal is used to accelerate
beyond the set speed for too long a period.
Cruise control will switch off and clear the
memory when:
• The ignition system is switched off.
• A fault occurs. The cr uise control system
will switch off and cannot be used until the
fault is cleared.

Adaptive cruise control
96
Adaptive cruise controlADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
OVERVIEW
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. ACC is
available at vehicle sp eeds of 32 to 180 km/h
(20 to 112 mph).
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 objec ts in the roadway.
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
The ACC system uses a radar sensor, which
projects a beam directly forward of the vehicle
to detect objects ahead.
The radar sensor is mounted in the centre of
the lower bumper, to provide a clear view
forward for the radar beam.
• 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.
• Do not use on icy or slippery roads.
• It is the drivers respons ibility to stay alert,
drive safely and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
• Keep the area in front of the radar sensor
free from dirt, meta l badges or objects,
including vehicle front protectors, which
may prevent the sensor from operating.
• Do not use ACC when entering or leaving a
motorway.
USING ACC
1. SET: Roll the thumbwheel upward or
downwards to increase or decrease speed,
until the desired speed is achieved.
2. Gap increase or decrease control. Four
settings are selectable by rolling the
thumbwheel. See 98, CHANGING THE
FOLLOW MODE SET GAP .
3. CANCEL: Cancels but retains the set speed in memory.
4. RESUME : Resumes the ACC set speed
after it has been disengaged.
The system is operated by controls mounted
on the steering wheel. The driver can also
intervene at any time by use of the brake or
accelerator pedals.
Setting the vehicle speed, activating, and
deactivating ACC is done in the same way as
using cruise control.
