Description and Operation
OVERVIEW
The message center is a LCD (liquid crystal display) located in a central position in the instrument cluster. The message center
receives CAN (controller area network) bus, LIN (local interconnect network) bus, and hardwired signals from other vehicle
system control modules to display current vehicle status information. Depending on message importance, the message center
will be backlit in white, amber or red.
The message center will display:
Fuel level
Trip computer information
Gear selected
Speed control information
Vehicle map
Clock
Turn by turn satellite navigation
Voice control text
JaguarDrive Control system messages.
Operation of the message center is controlled by software within the instrument cluster.
Refer to: Instrument Cluster (413-01 Instrument Cluster, Description and Operation).

Description and Operation
System Operation
SERVICE INTERVAL INDICATOR - 3.0L V6 DIESEL, 5.0L V8 SUPERCHARGER AND 5.0L V8 NATURALLY ASPIRATED ENGINES ONLY
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 following table shows the JaguarDrive selector position and the highlighted indication displayed in the transmission
display.
JaguarDrive Selector Position Transmission Display P - Park P R - Reverse R N - Neutral N D - Drive D S - Sport S The following table shows the Jaguar Sequential Shift display. Selections are made using the steering wheel mounted paddle
switches.
Jaguar Sequential Shift Gear Selection Transmission Display First 1 Second 2 Third 3 Fourth 4 Fifth 5 Sixth 6 The transmission may inhibit a requested up or down shift if the requested gear is outside the normal engine speed operating
range. If this occurs, the transmission display will briefly display the gear requested by the driver but will then change to
display the actual gear selection.
