AIRBAGS AND ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS
1. Airbag warning information is printed on
the driver and passenger sun visors.
2. Both front seats are equipped with Active
Head Restraints (AHR ), which reduce the
risk of neck and spinal injury (whiplash) in
the event of a rear impact, by moving the
head restraint upwards and forwards,
supporting the occupant’s head. After activation, the whiplash protection
mechanism resets automatically and does
not need to be replaced.
3. The curtain airbags may deflate at a slower
rate than the front or side airbags, to afford
prolonged protection.
4. Seat mounted side airbags.
5. Front passenger airbag.
6. Driver’s airbag.

Towing

TowingTOWING A TRAILER
(V6 petrol and diesel vehicles only)
Never exceed the maximum weights
for the vehicle or the trailer. Damage
to the vehicle coul d occur and vehicle
stability and braking could be
adversely affected. This could lead to
loss of control and increased braking
distance, resulting in a rollover or
crash.
To preserve handling and stability,
only fit Jaguar approved towing
accessories.
Never use towing eyes or lashing
points to tow a trailer. They have not
been designed for this purpose and
doing so may cause them to fail,
resulting in injury or death.
When towing, do not exceed 100 km/h
(60 mph). If using a temporary spare
wheel, do not exceed 80 km/h (50
mph).
Note: It is the driver’s re sponsibility to ensure
that the towing vehicle, and the trailer, are
being used correctly and in accordance with
manufacturer’s reco mmendations and any
applicable legislation.
Information on towing, towing weight
capacities and regulati ons is available from
your Dealer and from the main motoring and
caravanning organisations.
The following are important points of safety,
stability and comfort. Seek further advice if
necessary.
• Maximum braked to wing weight is
permissible, provided that long periods of
uphill driving on gradients over 8% are not
undertaken. •
At altitudes above 1000 metres (3250 feet),
the stipulated maximum permitted Gross
Train Weight must be reduced by 10% for
every 1000 metres (3250 feet) in altitude,
because the thinner atmosphere can
reduce engine performance.
Diesel engines : When ambient temperature
exceeds 40°C (104°F), the engine coolant
temperature may increase above normal
operating level. If this occurs, the engine
management system will initiate a series of
actions to restore normal operating conditions,
which may include:
• A message centre message.
• Engine performance reduction.
• Air conditioning system cycling. The air
conditioning temper ature 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 allo w the engine to idle
until normal temperature is restored. Do not
turn off the engine.
TRAILER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Only connect approved electrical
circuits, which are in good condition, to
the trailer socket. Connecting incorrect
or faulty circuits, may seriously damage
the vehicle’s electrical circuits.
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.
Note: The rear parking se nsors automatically
disable when the trailer electrical connection is
made using Jaguar approved towing
equipment.

RDS-TMC OVERVIEW
RDS-TMC (Radio Data System-Traffic
Message Channel) is a feature that announces
traffic hold-ups on your route as broadcast by
radio stations that transmit TMC information.
Touch the TMC button on the Navigation Menu
to access the TMC menu.
TMC events ahead on route can be displayed by
touching the Events ahead soft key. TMC can
be set to display on the map for all events, for
major events or can be switched off. During
route calculation, it can be set to avoid TMC
events along the route.
RDS-TMC DISPLAY
When a TMC signal is received the icon in the
top left of the screen will appear green. If a TMC
signal is not being received, the icon will be
shown with a bar through it.
The system will inform the driver of any
roadworks, narrow road, contraflow,
accidents, slippery road, diversion,
information, parking in formation, congestion
or other hazard.
The driver is informed of a traffic event as
follows:
• A TMC Event icon shown on the map at the
location of the event.
• Text can be displaye d showing the details
of each occurrence which can be selected
either by touching the screen icon or from
the traffic information list.
• Dynamic route guidance, which calculates
an alternative route when the system
receives the traffic event warning affecting
the route currently set in the navigation
system.
• Traffic event list shows all events sorted by
road name/ distance on your selected route
in a straight line or along your actual route.
The information rega rding the hold-up is
maintained and updated even if the vehicle
crosses into another country.

EVENT DATA RECORDING
Event data recorders are capable of collecting
and storing data during a crash or near-crash
event. The recorded information may assist in
the investigation of such an event. The
modules may record information about both
the vehicle and the oc cupants, potentially
including such information as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were
operating.
• Whether or not the driver and passenger
seat belts were buckled.
• How far, if at all, the driver was pressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
• How fast the vehicle was travelling.
• Where the driver was positioning the
steering wheel.
To access this information special equipment
must be connected directly to the recording
modules. Jaguar cars Li mited do not access
event data recorder information without
obtaining consent, unless pursuant to court
order or where required by law enforcement,
other government authorities or third parties
acting with lawful authority.
Other parties may seek to access the
information independent ly of Jaguar Cars
Limited.
