DAYLIGHT RUNNING LAMPS
With the rotary control in the OFF or AUTO
position, the front day light running lamps will
switch on automatically with the following
conditions:
• The ignition is on.
• The engine is running.
• The gear selector is in D (Drive) or R
(Reverse) - market dependent.
Note: The lamps remain on if the gear
selector is subsequently moved to N
(Neutral)
• The parking brake is not applied (is
released) - market dependent.
APPROACH LAMPS
The headlamps can be illu minated remotely for
a programmed length of time, by pressing the
headlamp button on the Jaguar Smart key. See
4, UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE . Press the
button again to switch off.
Note: In some markets, a second press will
illuminate the reverse lamps and a third press
is required to turn the lamps off.
ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM
(AFS)
These lamps broaden the beam of the
headlamps when cornering in different
circumstances.
Static bending lamps : The static bending
lamps operate when necessary, to provide an
even broader light spread.
Cornering lamps : At speeds up to 40 km/h
(25 mph), to provide improved visibility at
junctions, the system switches on the lamp if it
has received an input from the vehicle's
direction indicator. Only the lamp on the same
side as the operating indicator illuminates. The
lamp will self cancel after 3 minutes of
continuous operation.
WINDSCREEN WIPER DETECTION
This function only operates when autolamps is
selected. The side lamps, tail 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, tail lamps and
headlamps will automatically switch off 4
minutes later.

Do not allow the vehicle to remain
stationary with a drive gear selected and
the engine running . Always select P or
N if the engine is to idle for a prolonged
period.
ROTARY GEAR SELECTOR
The JaguarDrive selector elevates out of the
centre console when the engine is started, in
readiness for gear selection
P should be selected before switching off the
engine. However, it is possible to switch the
engine off with R, D or S selected - the selector
will automatica lly select P, while retracting into
the centre console.
Note: If the engine is switched off with N
selected, the system will wait for 10 minutes
before selecting P. This procedure is to allow
the vehicle to be conveyed through a car wash
only and should not be used for vehicle
recovery purposes.
In the event of a vehicle breakdown, the
transmission will automatically select P. This
prevents the vehicle from being towed on all
four wheels. Therefore, vehicle recovery
should only be undertaken by suitably qualified
personnel.
IF THE SELECTOR FAILS TO ELEVATE
If the JaguarDrive selector is obstructed
remove the obstruction and then start the
engine. The selector s hould elevate as normal.
If the selector still fails to elevate, even if there
is no obstruction, a faul t in the system is
indicated. The selector ca n still be used in the
lowered position, but be aware that it will not
automatically select P when the engine is
switched off. P should be selected manually.
The fault should be re ctified by a Dealer/
Authorised Repairer at the earliest opportunity.
MANUAL GEAR SELECTION
When the gear selector is in the D position,
manual mode may be directly accessed by the
single action of operating the steering wheel
mounted shift paddles.
If continued use of manua l mode is required,
the gear selector may be subsequently moved
to the S position to enter permanent manual
mode.
If the gear selector remains in the D position,
temporary manual mode will be held whilst the
driver is accelerating, decelerating, cornering
or continuing to request shifts via the paddles.
LIMP-HOME MODE
Note: The driver should be aware that the
vehicle’s performance will be reduced and
must take this into account when driving. Also
the use of the Jaguar Sequential Shift paddles
will be disabled. In this event, seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
In the event of an electrical or mechanical
failure, transmission ope ration will be limited.
P , R , N , D and S may still be used to enable the
vehicle to be driven to a safe area.
Some faults will cause the selector to be locked
in position until the ignition is switched off. If
the selected range flashes, it signifies that the
driver request cannot be engaged. Re-select N
and repeat the attempt.
If the transmission is st ill unable to select the
requested gear, contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.
