Blind spot monitoring

Note: This radar sensor is approved in all RTTE
countries.
Note: The system covers an area of a fixed lane
width. If the lanes are narrower than a typical
carriageway lane, obj ects travelling in
non-adjacent lanes may be detected.
BSM automatically switches on and becomes
active when the vehicle is travelling at more
than 16 km/h (10 mph) in a forward gear.
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.
The indicator dot (2) re mains illuminated until
forward vehicle speed exceeds 16 km/h
(10 mph).
BSM is designed to work most effectively when
driving on multi-lane highways.
Note: If an overtaking vehicle is detected on
both sides of the vehicle simultaneously, the
warning icons in both mirrors will illuminate.
Note: BSM is automatically turned off when
reverse ( R) gear is selected, when the vehicle is
in park ( P), the vehicle is travelling below
16 km/h (10 mph). Under these conditions, an
amber warning indicator within the exterior
mirror is displayed.
SENSOR BLOCKAGE
The BSM system will automatically disable if
either of the sensor s become completely
obscured, an amber wa rning indicator dot (2)
is displayed in the exterior mirror and the
message BLIND SPOT MONITOR SENSOR
BLOCKED appears in the message centre.
Note: Blockage testing is only initiated when
vehicle speed is above 32 km/h (20 mph) and
will take at least two minutes of accumulated
driving above this speed, to determine that the
sensor is blocked. If the sensors become blocked, then please
check that there is nothing obscuring the rear
bumper and that it is cl
ear from ice, frost and
dirt.
BSM SYSTEM FAULT
If a fault with one of the radar sensors is
detected, an amber warning indicator dot is
displayed in the exterior mirror and the
message BLIND SPOT MONITOR NOT
AVAILABLE is displayed in the message centre.
Note: Even if the detected fault only affects the
radar sensor on one side of the vehicle, the
whole system is disabled. If the fault is
temporary, the system will operate correctly
once the engine has been switched off and then
on again.
If a fault in the system occurs, consult your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

cause the windows to mist.
Recirculation may also be selected in AUTO
mode, if the climate control system detects
high levels of pollution in the atmosphere
outside the vehicle (if an air quality sensor is
fitted). Manual operation of the recirculation
control will override the automatic setting.

IF THE ENGINE FAILS TO START
If the brake pedal has been pumped prior to an
attempt to start the engine, it may require
greater pressure on the pedal in order for the
engine to start.
If the Jaguar Smart Key is placed in the door
pocket, it may be outside the range of the
sensors when the door is open.
If the Smart Key fails to operate, Smart Key
Not Found- Refer to Handbook is displayed in
the message centre. To start the engine it will
be necessary to dock the Smart Key, as
follows:
1. Insert the Smart Key fully into the starter
control unit, as shown.
Note: When docking the Smart Key, it is
recommended that the emergency key
blade is left in place. The end of the blade
can then be used as a handle, to pull the
Smart Key from the control unit when
undocking.
2. Ensure the Smart Key is securely docked,
then press and release the START/STOP
button with the brake pe dal applied to start
the engine. 3.
To undock the smart key, ensure that the
gear selector is in the P position and the
ignition is switched off, then press and
release the Smart Key. The Smart Key will
eject from the st arter control unit.
Ensure that the ignition is switched
off before undocking the Smart
Key, otherwise damage to the
Smart Key may occur.
4. Remove the Smart Key.
If the engine still fails to start, seek qualified
assistance.

Tyre pressure monitoring system
89
Tyre pressure monitoring systemTYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
The TPM system provides a low
pressure warning and does not
re-inflate your tyres. Tyre pressures
should be checked regularly using an
accurate pressure gauge when cold.
The TPM system can NOT register
damage to a tyre. Regularly check the
condition of your tyres, especially if
the vehicle is driven off-road.
When inflating tyre s, care should be
taken to avoid bending or damaging the
TPM system valves. Always ensure
correct alignment of the inflation head
to the valve stem.
Note: Non-approved accessories may interfere
with the system. If this occurs, TYRE
PRESSURE MONITORI NG SYSTEM FAULT is
displayed in the message centre.
Wheels fitted with a TPM system can be
visually identified by the external metal lock nut
and valve ( 1). All Jaguar n on-TPM system
wheels have a rubber valve fitted (2).
TPMS OPERATION
The TPM system monitors pressure of the
tyres via sensors located in each wheel and a
receiver located within the vehicle.
Communication between sensor and receiver
is via Radio Freque ncy (RF) signals.
If the telltale light illu minates, you should stop
and check your tyres as soon as possible and
inflate them to the recommended pressure as
stated on the tyre pressure placard. If low
pressure warnings occur frequently, the cause
must be determined and rectified.
When driving through variable climatic
conditions the TPM syst em warnings may be
intermittent.
Your vehicle will also indicate a TPM system
malfunction by initially flashing and
subsequent continuous illumination of the
warning telltale. A text message will
accompany the system malfunction and will
display TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM FAULT . The TPM system fault
sequence will be activated at every ignition
cycle until the fault is rectified. When a
malfunction occurs, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as
intended.
TPM system malfuncti ons may occur for a
variety of reasons which may include other
radio frequency systems that could cause
interference or the installation of incompatible
replacement tyres on the vehicle.
The tyre pressure warning
comprises a yellow warning
telltale within the instrument
panel, and the associated
messages within the message
centre.

TEMPORARY USE SPARE WHEEL
AND TYRE CHANGE
If the temporary use spare wheel is fitted the
system will automatically recognise the change
in wheel positions. The n after approximately
ten minutes of drivin g above 25 km/h (18
mph), a message deta iling which tyre is
affected (e.g. FRONT LEFT) and TYRE NOT
MONITORED will be displayed accompanied by
illumination of the warning telltale and the
corresponding block in the vehicle graphic.
The warning telltale will initially flash and will
subsequently revert to continuous illumination.
Extended use of the temporary use spare wheel
will produce an additional text message TYRE
PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM FAULT .
This TPM system display sequence will be
activated at every ignition cycle until the
temporary use spare wheel is replaced by a
fully operational full size wheel and tyre
assembly. Always replace the temporary use
wheel before having TPM system faults
investigated. The fault may well be rectified
with the fitment of a fu lly operational full size
running tyre in lieu of the temporary use spare
wheel assembly.
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
UNAVAILABLE
If all four running wheels and tyres are changed
for a set that are not fitted with TPM system
sensors (e.g. a set of winter wheels and tyres),
the message TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
UNAVAILABLE is displayed. TPM system
sensors must be fitted to the wheels and tyres
for the system to be able to warn of low tyre
pressures.
When sensors are fitted to the replacement
wheel and tyre set, the vehicle needs to be
driven until the TPM system recognizes the
sensors before TPM will be available ( TYRE
PRESSURE MONITORING AVAILABLE is
displayed).
TYRE CHANGING
Always have your tyres serviced or changed by
a qualified technician.
Care must be taken to avoid contact between
the bead of the tyre and the sensor during
removal and refitting of the tyre, otherwise the
sensor may become damaged and or
inoperable.
Valve stem seal, washer, nut, valve core
and cap should be repl aced at every tyre
change. Valve stem seal, washer and
nut must be replaced if valve retention
nut is loosened. Sensor units and nuts
must be refitted using correct torque
figures and associated profile. Damage
to the vehicle may result if these
precautions are not taken.
Sensors can be removed from the wheel by the
unscrewing of the va lve retention nut.
