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.

Wipers and washersWIPER OPERATION
1. Rotate control to adjust sensitivity.
•Rain sensor maxi mum sensitivity.
• Rain sensor mini mum sensitivity.
2. Fast speed wipe.
3. Normal speed wipe.
4. Rain sensor activated wipe.
5. Windscreen washer button.
6. Single wipe.
Do not operate the windscreen wipers
on a dry screen.
In freezing or very hot conditions,
ensure that the wipers have not stuck to
the windscreen before operating.
Remove any snow, ice or frost from the
windscreen, around the wiper arms and
blades, and the screen scuttle, before
operating the wipers.
Note: If the wiper blades become stuck or
jammed, an electronic cut-out may temporarily
halt wiper operation. If this happens, switch off
the wipers and the ignition. Clear any
obstructions and free th e wiper blades, before
attempting to switch on the ignition.SPEED-DEPENDENT MODE
If vehicle speed drops below 2 km/h (1.2 mph)
with the wipers operating, the wipers will
switch to the next lowest speed. When vehicle
speed increases to over 8 km/h (5 mph), the
original wiper speed settings are restored.
RAIN SENSOR
Ensure that the wipers are switched off
before entering a car wash. If the rain
sensitive wipers operate during the car
washing process damage may occur to
the wiper mechanism.
The rain sensor is able to detect the presence
and amount of rain, dirt or snow on the
windscreen and automatically activates the
windscreen wipers accordingly. Static droplets
may not be detected on initial start-up, use a
single wipe to clear the screen.
To activate the rain sensitive wipers, move the
wiper stalk to the rain sensor position and
adjust the rain sensor sensitivity control as
required. When rain sensitive wipers are
activated and when sensitivity is increased, a
single wipe will operate.

CHECKING THE WASHER FLUID
Do not allow screen washer fluid to
come into contact with naked flames
or sources of ignition.
If the vehicle is operated in
temperatures below 4°C (40°F), use a
washer fluid with frost protection.
