If the vehicle is within 3,200 kilometers (1,988 miles) of a service, the message center will display 'SERVICE REQUIRED IN
XXXX km or MILES'. The display reduces the 'service required in' readout by increments every 50 kilometers (30 miles). If this
distance drops below 1 km (0.6 miles), the message center will display 'SERVICE REQUIRED'.

These messages are displayed every time the vehicle enters power mode 6, for 4 seconds after the instrument cluster bulb
check routine has finished.


NOTE: The message center will display distance to next service in miles on an instrument cluster fitted with a Miles Per
Hour (MPH) speedometer unless the driver has changed the display units on the Touch Screen Display (TSD).
Reset Procedure
To re-set the service interval indicator, the following process switch presses must each be carried out within 3 seconds:
With the vehicle in power mode 0, (ignition off) press and hold the rear fog lamp switch
Allow the vehicle to enter power mode 6 (Press the start button without a foot on the brake)
Immediately release the rear fog lamp switch
Press and hold the trip computer cycle switch
Press and hold the rear fog lamp switch
Continue to hold the trip computer and rear fog lamp switches
If the process has been successful, the message center will display 'RESETTING SERVICE MODE' and then display
'SERVICE MODE RESET' after 10 seconds
Release both switches and return the vehicle ignition to off, power mode 0.



MESSAGE CENTER Component Description

The message center LCD (liquid crystal display) display has a viewable area of 126 pixels horizontal and 174 pixels vertical. It
is divided into six information display zones as follows, starting from the top:

Set speed
Transmission position
Warning /message display
JaguarDrive Optimization icon
Odometer/Trip computer information
Fuel level.

The message center is active at all times when the ignition is on and can also be active when the ignition is off, dependant on
the information to be displayed. The message center LCD illumination is controlled by the sun load light sensor located on the instrument panel. In bright conditions, the illumination is set to maximum brightness. As the ambient light levels drop, the
illumination dims. When the lights are switched on or activated by the 'AUTO' function, the illumination operates in the same
way until a defined ambient light threshold is reached, at this point the setting of the panel illumination dimmer in the
auxiliary light switch will control the brightness.

If more than one message is active, each message is displayed for 4 seconds in the order of priority. Once all messages have
been displayed, they are again displayed in turn for 2 seconds each. Warning messages can be displayed when the ignition is
in accessory power mode 4 which is the initial ignition state when a door is opened.
Message Priority

Messages are assigned priorities which are defined by the effect on driving safety and functional ability of the vehicle. When
new messages are displayed they may be accompanied by a chime from the instrument cluster sounder. A new message will be
displayed immediately, providing the currently displayed message (if there is one) has been displayed for at least 4 seconds. A
warning indicator will be activated simultaneously with the message being displayed. If more than one fault warning message
is being displayed, the messages will cycle, in priority order, with each message being displayed for 2 seconds.

INFORMATION DISPLAY

The transmission display is located in the upper section of the LCD. The transmission position information is sent from the TCM (transmission control module) in a high speed CAN (controller area network) message to the instrument cluster. The
transmission has three modes of operation:

Conventional automatic operation (JaguarDrive selector in 'D' position)
Sport automatic operation (JaguarDrive selector in 'S' position)
Manual gear operation - Jaguar Sequential Shift.

The odometer displays the total distance which the vehicle has traveled. This is calculated by the instrument cluster using
wheel speed signals from the ABS module.
The odometer can show 6 characters and distances up to 999,999 miles or kilometers. The total distance travelled is stored in a
EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read only memory) and the RAM (random access memory). This ensures that the
total distance is not lost if the battery is disconnected.

The odometer value is passed to other vehicle system modules on the medium speed and high speed CAN bus. This is used to record the total vehicle mileage for diagnostic purposes and when storing DTC (diagnostic trouble code)'s.

module and fuel injector operating data from the ECM.
A 'Trip' button is located on the end of the LH (left-hand) multifunction switch and allows the driver to access, in sequence, the
available trip information by repeatedly pressing the button. The trip information is displayed in the following order:

Trip distance – The trip distance since the last reset is displayed
Average speed – The average speed since the last reset is displayed
Average fuel consumption – The average fuel consumption since the last reset is displayed
Range – The range is displayed showing the distance which can be travelled until the fuel gage reads empty. If the
range display shows dashes (-), this indicates a failure with one or both of the fuel level sensors.

The trip computer has three independent memories; A, B and Auto. Memories A and B can be set independently. The Auto
memory is reset after each ignition cycle and therefore only contains information relating the current journey.

The trip information can also be accessed from the TSD located in the center console. The TSD allows the same information
available with the trip button on the multifunction switch to be displayed on the TSD, with the addition of the option to reset
the values in the A and B memories.
If the battery is disconnected, all trip data in memories A, B and Auto are erased.

Fuel Level Display

The fuel level display is a linear LCD display to show the usable fuel tank contents. The level display is active at all times when the ignition is on. Low fuel level is displayed as a LOW FUEL LEVEL message and an amber warning triangle in the
message center.

The fuel level is obtained by fuel level sensors in the fuel tank. These are monitored by the RJB software and their output resistance values, corresponding fuel quantity, are transmitted to the instrument cluster on the medium speed CAN bus. The instrument cluster uses the two level sensor signals to calculate the fuel tank contents. This calculation takes into account
fuel movement in the tank to display a steady fuel quantity in the LCD.
The fuel level information is transmitted on the medium speed and high speed CAN bus for use by other vehicle system modules.
AUDIBLE WARNINGS

The instrument cluster can generate audible warnings to alert the driver to a displayed message and change of vehicle
operating condition. The audible warning is generated by a sounder located within the instrument cluster. The audible warnings
can be generated for the warnings below and are listed in order of priority, with the first being the highest priority:

Seatbelt reminder
EPB (High Pitch)
ACC Driver Intervene 1
Airbag fault
Key in ignition switch
ASL overspeed
ACC Driver Intervene 2
EPB (Low Pitch)
Vehicle armed (entry delay)
JaguarDrive selector not in park
Valet mode
Lights on reminder
Hood operation
Passive Entry / Passive Start (PEPS)
Memory set
Turn signal indicators
Seat Belt Minder.

The audible warnings can take the form of a single chime, a number of chimes or a continuous chime. The audible warnings are
initiated by a CAN message request from the requesting sub-system control module or by the instrument cluster software.

Warning Devices - Blindspot Monitoring System - Overview
Description and Operation

OVERVIEW Published: 11-May-2011

Eliminating blind spots is a major element in vehicle body design, but because of the structural requirements of B, C and D
posts, blind spots cannot be entirely eliminated. Statistics show that some accidents are directly attributable to drivers moving
across into the path of overtaking vehicles that have not been seen in conventional mirrors. New mirror designs have improved
the situation, but by remotely covering areas that cannot be seen either directly or by the vehicle mirrors, have led to the
introduction of a radar-based blind spot monitoring system.
The blind spot monitoring system comprises:

LH (left-hand) Blind spot monitoring sensor
RH (right-hand) Blind spot monitoring sensor
LH door mirror RH door mirror
The system uses two radar modules operating at a frequency of 24 GHz and each combining the radar face and electronic
module in a single unit. The modules are located behind the rear bumper surface, symmetrically, one on each side of the car
behind the rear wheels. They are side facing and inclined rearwards at an angle of 16 degrees, which is dictated by the shape
at the rear of the vehicle. Each module is calibrated to detect a vehicle in the driver’s blind spot. Once a vehicle is detected
the module illuminates an amber warning ‘alert icon’ LED (light emitting diode) in the relevant exterior door mirror. If there is a
fault or blockage with the blind spot monitoring system an amber warning indicator dot LED is displayed in the exterior mirror and the message ‘blind spot monitoring not available’ is displayed in the instrument cluster message center.

When the system initiates, it performs a self-check, during which the warning icons in the mirrors illuminate alternately for a
short period of time. Each module does a left/right determination check when the ignition is switched on. Each mirror has a
different circuit configuration so that the modules can determine which mirror they are connected to. If a module detects the
wrong mirror it will go into a fault condition.

The blind spot monitoring modules receive vehicle speed on the medium speed CAN (controller area network) and are inactive
until the vehicle reaches 16kph (10mph). Each blind spot monitor module emits a radar field greater than the blind spot area.

Each Blind Spot Monitor module emits a radar field greater than the blind spot area. The actual blind spot area is calibrated
into the module during its manufacture.


CAUTION: The blind spot monitoring system is designed as a driver aid not a safety device. The driver should always
exercise due care and attention whilst driving. www.JagDocs.com

Blind Spot Monitoring System Operation

The purpose of the blind spot monitoring system is to detect an object moving with a positive velocity relative to the radar
module, on either side of the vehicle, at a distance of up to 2.5 meters laterally and in an area from the door mirror up to 7.0
meters behind the module. These criteria identify an overtaking vehicle within the blind-spot area and within a typical
carriageway lane width, while eliminating other objects that are not relevant, either because of their position, they are
stationary, traveling in the opposite direction, or being overtaken. A vehicle is classed as a heavy goods vehicle, car or
motorcycle. A motorcycle is defined as a minimum size of 2.0m long, 0.8m wide (widest point) and 1.1m high. The system is
not affected by the mass of the overtaking vehicle providing all identification criteria, including relative velocity of (16km/h -
10mph) or above, is met.

The system emits radar pulses and analyses the reflections, identifying anything that moves into the blind spot zone. Having
detected another vehicle in the defined blind spot zone it alerts the driver by illuminating the amber alert icon located in the
appropriate exterior mirror.


NOTE: If an overtaking vehicle is detected on both sides of the vehicle simultaneously, the warning alert icons in both
mirrors will illuminate.

The light lens is shaped so as to minimize the visibility to other drivers. The LED (light emitting diode)’s are located towards
the outside extremity of the mirror face, within the peripheral view of the driver but not in any area of the mirror where they
could obscure or distract from the image.



Item Description 1 Warning alert icon 2 System status warning indicator The LED lighting sequence is as follows;
Amber alert LED icon permanently lit - system operational, vehicle detected in blind spot area No LED’s lit – system active no vehicle detected in blind spot area Amber status LED permanently lit - system not active or faulty
The system has operating limitations and is automatically turned off under certain operating conditions. During these
operating conditions the amber status LED is permanently lit. The system operating limitations are as follows;

The area surrounding the radar face of the module must be clear of metallic items
The system is inactive until vehicle speed is greater than 16km/h - 10mph (amber status LED permanently lit) The system is inactive if an approved trailer is connected to the vehicle (amber status LED permanently lit) The system is inactive when reverse gear or park is selected (amber status LED permanently lit)
If either of the radar signals are blocked or distorted, for example by water, the radar face of the module is covered in mud,
sleet or snow the system may detect this and be disabled with the amber status LED permanently lit together with a ‘blind spot monitoring blocked’ message displayed in the instrument cluster message center. The system is disabled until the
blockage is cleared.

If there is a fault in the system the amber status LED is permanently lit and a ‘blind spot monitoring not available’ message displayed in the instrument cluster message center. The system is disabled until the fault is rectified.
System fault and blockage warnings are as follows;

cluster message)
The system is disabled by a fault (amber status LED permanently lit and instrument cluster message)
If there is a failure in the communication network and the warning LED’s cannot be displayed in the mirror, a failure message will be displayed in the instrument cluster message center.

When any faults are present in the system DTC (diagnostic trouble code)'s are stored in both blind spot monitoring modules
appropriate to each module. Replacement of modules requires the right hand module to be configured using the Jaguar
approved diagnostic equipment. Due to the fact that all modules are supplied as left hand modules the replacement left hand
modules do not require configuring.

Calibration of the modules using the Jaguar approved diagnostic equipment enables updates to be downloaded as new
technology becomes available or any fault concerns require software updates.
