KEYLESS ENTRY
Any person fitted with an implanted
medical device should ensure that the
device is kept at a distance of at least
22 cm (8.7 inches) away from any
transmitter mounted in the vehicle.
This is to avoid any possibility of
interference between the system and
device. For inform ation concerning
the locations of t he security system
transmitters, see 181, REMOTE KEY
FOB TRANSMITTE R LOCATIONS.
If a remote control is lost, a
replacement can be obtained and
programmed to the vehicle by a Jaguar
Dealer/Authorised Repairer. Notify a
Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer as
soon as a remote control is lost or
stolen and have th e remaining remote
control(s) reprogrammed. The Smart Key may not be detected if it
is placed within a meta
l container or if it
is shielded by a device with a back-lit
LCD screen, such as a smart phone,
laptop (including la ptop bag), games
console etc. Keep the Smart Key clear of
such devices when attempting Keyless
entry or Keyless starting.
Keyless entry allows the vehicle to be unlocked
and disarmed by simply operating the door
handle, provided the Jaguar Smart Key is
within 1.0 m (3 feet).
The Smart Key needs only to be on the driver’s
person, it does not need to be exposed or
handled. However, the Smart Key may not be
detected if it is plac ed within a metallic
container.
Note: Keyless entry will unlock the vehicle in
accordance with the current security setting
(Single-point or Multi-poi nt entry). However, if
Single-point entry is the current setting and a
door other than the driver’s door is opened
first, all doors will unlock.
When all open doors have been closed, the
system will search the vehicle interior for a
valid Smart Key. If one is not detected, SMART
KEY NOT FOUND, PLEASE INSERT IN SLOT
will be displayed in the message centre. Find
the Smart Key and insert it into the starter
control unit (see 76, IF THE ENGINE FAILS TO
START ).
The security system fitted to your vehicle is
Thatcham category 1 appr oved, and meets EU
regulations 97/116 and EU directive 95/56 EC.

MISLOCK
If one of the doors, the bonnet, or the luggage
compartment are not shut fully when the
vehicle is locked using the Jaguar Smart Key or
by Keyless locking, the vehicle will not lock and
two warning tones will sound. Check that all
doors, the bonnet and the luggage
compartment are closed properly and lock the
vehicle again.
If one or more of the doors fails to lock
properly when a lock attempt is made using the
Jaguar Smart Key, tw o warning tones will
sound and one or more of the doors may not be
locked.
GLOBAL CLOSING
Ensure that no children, pets, or
obstructions are in any open aperture
before operating global closing.
Ensure that all doors are closed, then press and
hold the lock button on the Smart Key for 3
seconds or press and hold the lock button on
the exterior door handle. The vehicle will single

immediately. After 3 seconds all of the
windows will close.
Note: If the button on the door handle is
released before the windows have fully closed,
the windows will stop closing.
Note: Global closing can be enabled/disabled
via the Security/ vehicle settings menu on the
touch screen. See 61, VEHICLE SETTINGS .
KEYLESS LOCKING
Remove all Jaguar Smart Keys and
emergency key blades from the vehicle
when it is left unattended. This will help
prevent the alarm being disarmed and
therefore help prevent theft. The Smart Key may not be detected if it
is placed within a meta

the door handle once. The hazard warning
lamps will flash once as confirmation (in some
markets, an audible warning will sound).
To double-lock the vehicle, press the button
twice within three seconds. The hazard
warning lamps will flash twice (with a long
second flash). In some markets, a double
audible warning will sound.
Note: Keyless locking will onl y activate if all
doors, bonnet and the luggage compartment
are closed and the Jagua r Smart Key is outside
the vehicle. If the abov e conditions are not met,
two audible error warnings will sound.
FULL ALARM
To set full alarm protection, ensure that all the
windows and the sunroof are closed. Then, on
vehicles fitted with double-locking, press the
lock button twice within three seconds. The
hazard warning lights will flash twice to
confirm the alarm state and, in some markets,
an audible tone will sound.
Note: If the alarm is armed and a window or the
sunroof are left open, the alarm may sound due
to movement of air currents, detected by the
intrusion sensors in th e front interior light
console.
Note: The intrusion sensors can be temporarily
disabled, for the next time the vehicle is locked,
via the Security/ vehicle settings menu on the
touch screen. See 61, VEHICLE SETTINGS .

Do not adjust the seat while the
vehicle is moving.
The seat, head restraint, seat belt and airbags,
all contribute to the protection of the user.
Correct use of these co mponents will give you
greater protection, therefore you should
observe the following points:
1. Sit in an upright position with the base of
your spine as far back as possible and the
seat back reclined no more than 30
degrees.

2. Do not move the driver's seat too close to
the steering wheel. Ideally, a minimum
distance of 254 mm (10 inches) is
recommended between the breastbone
and the steering wheel airbag cover. Hold
the steering wheel in the correct position
with your arms slightly bent.
• Adjust the head restraint so that the top of
the head restraint is above the centre line of
the head.
• Position the seat belt so that it is mid-way
between your neck a nd your shoulder. Fit
the strap tightly across your hips, not
across your stomach.
• Ensure that your driving position is
comfortable and enables you to maintain
full control of the vehicle.
PASSENGER SEAT AWAY
This feature allows the fore and aft position of
the front passenger seat to be adjusted from
the driver seat and rear passenger seats. Press
the front of the button to move the seat
forewards; press the rear of the button to move

If the vehicle is moving at or above 16 km/h (10
mph) and the seat belt of an occupied front
seat is not fastened, the warning lamp will
flash.
The flashing lasts for 10 seconds and repeats
every 10 seconds for approximately 5 minutes
or until the belt(s) is fastened or the vehicle
stops.
If the warning lamp re mains illuminated after
the seat belt(s) fastened, seek qualified
assistance as soon as pos sible. The vehicle can
still be driven with the warning lamp
illuminated, provided the seat belt(s) is
properly fastened.
Note: If a heavy object is placed on the front
passenger seat, it may activate the Beltminder
feature. It is recomme nded that the object be
placed in the luggage compartment or secured
using the seat belt.
Note: Although not advisable, it is possible to
disable the Beltminder function. Please see
your Dealer/Authorised Repairer to disable or
re-instate the function.
ACTIVE SEAT BELTS
The Active Seat Belt System enhances front
seat occupant support during extreme vehicle
manoeuvres such as understeer, oversteer or
high braking forces by te nsioning the seat belt.
Tension is released when the vehicle
manoeuvre is completed. The occupant may
notice a further slight in crease in tension just
prior to release of th e seat belt, which is
entirely normal.
In the unlikely event that tension is not released
after a manoeuvre is completed, bring the
vehicle to a safe stop. Unbuckle and re-buckle
the seat belt, which should then extract and
retract normally, before continuing with the
journey. Seat belts should be worn by all
vehicle occupants, for every journey,
no matter how short.
If the Active Seat Belts Unavailable message
and the yellow general warning symbol are
displayed in the message centre, contact your
Jaguar Dealer/ Authorised Repairer as soon as
possible. The vehicle is still safe to drive and
the Active Seat Belts will still function as
standard seat belts.
CHILD SEATS
For optimum safety, children should
travel in the rear of the vehicle at all
times; front passenger seat travel is
not recommended. However, if it is
essential that a child travels in the
front (not permitted in Australia), set
the vehicle seat fully rearward and
seat the child in an approved
forward-facing child seat. Do not use
a rear-facing child seat - an inflating
airbag could impact with the seat and
cause serious injury.
Do not use a forward facing child seat
until the child usin g it is above the
minimum weight of 9 kg (20 lb.) and
able to sit up unaided. Up to the age of
two, a child's spine and neck are not
sufficiently developed to avoid injury
in a frontal impact.
Do not allow a baby or infant to be
held or carried on the lap. The force of
a crash can increase effective body
weight by as much as thirty times,
making it impossible to hold onto the
child.

Children typically require the use of a
booster seat appropriate to their age
and size, thereby enabling the seat
belts to be properly fitted, reducing
the risk of injury in a crash. Children
could be endangered in a crash if their
child restraints are not properly
secured in the vehicle.
Do not use a child seat that hooks over
the seat back. This type of seat cannot
be satisfactorily secured and is
unlikely to be safe for your child.
The seat belts fitted to your vehicle are
designed for adults and larger children. It is
very important for all infants and children
under 12 years of age to be restrained in a
suitable child safety seat appropriate to their
age and size.
If it is essential that a child travels in the front
passenger seat (and national legislation
permits this), Jaguar recommends that the
following preparations ar e made before fitting
the child restraint.
• Adjust the front passenger seat fully
rearwards.
• Adjust the lumbar support to its minimum
support position.
• Adjust the seat cushion to its highest
position. If cushion front tilt adjustment is
possible, adjust it to its lowest position.
• Adjust the seat back to the fully upright
position.
• Adjust the seat be lt adjustable upper
anchorage to its lowest position.
Extreme hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an airbag in front of
it. This symbol, affixed to th
e end of the fascia on
the passenger side, warn s against the use of a
rear-facing child seat in the front passenger
seat, when a front passenger airbag is fitted
and operational.
CHILD RESTRAINT CHECK LIST
Every time a child travels in the vehicle observe
the following:-
• Use appropriate child restraints.
• Carefully follow the restraint system
manufacturers instructions.
• Adjust the harnesses for every child on
every trip.
• Ensure that all slack is removed from the
adult seat belt.
• Always attach the top tether when
installing an ISOFIX seat.
• Always check the security of the child
restraint.
• Do not dress a child in bulky clothing, or
place any objects/padding between the
child and the restraint.
• Regularly check the fit and condition of
child restraints. If the fit is poor, or
wear/damage is visible replace the restraint
immediately.
• Set a good example - al ways wear your
seat belt.

AIRBAGS AND ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS
1. Airbag warning information is printed on
the driver and passenger sun visors.
2. Both front seats are equipped with Active
Head Restraints (AHR ), which reduce the
risk of neck and spinal injury (whiplash) in
the event of a rear impact, by moving the
head restraint upwards and forwards,
supporting the occupant’s head. After activation, the whiplash protection
mechanism resets automatically and does
not need to be replaced.
3. The curtain airbags may deflate at a slower
rate than the front or side airbags, to afford
prolonged protection.
4. Seat mounted side airbags.
5. Front passenger airbag.
6. Driver’s airbag.

Note: The general location of airbags fitted to
the vehicle are marked by the word AIRBAG.
Always contact your Dealer/Authorised
repairer if:
• An airbag inflates.
• The front or sides of the vehicle are
damaged.
• Any part of the Airbag Supplementary
Restraint System (S RS) shows signs of
cracking or damage, including trim
covering airbags.
AIRBAG OPERATION
For the airbags to operate correctly
the roof lining and door post trims
must be in good condition, correctly
fitted, and free from obstruction. Any
damage, wear, or incorrect fitment
should be referred to your Dealer/
Authorised repairer as soon as
possible for exam ination and repair.
Do not obstruct th e operation of the
airbags by placing any part of their
person or any objects in contact with,
or close to, an airbag module. Only
use approved accessories (e.g. seat
covers).
Ensure that a gap is maintained
between the side of the vehicle, and
the head and torso. This will enable
unobstructed inflation of the curtain,
and seat mounted side airbags.
Airbags inflate at high speeds. To
minimise the risk of injury, ensure
that all vehicle occupants wear
correctly positioned seat belts, sit
correctly in the s eats, and position the
seats as far back as practical. Airbag inflation takes place
instantaneously, and cannot protect
against the effects of secondary
impacts. Under these circumstances
the only protection will be provided by
a correctly worn seat belt.
Phone systems should only be
installed by qualified persons familiar
with the operation of, and
requirements for, vehi
cles fitted with
SRS. If you are in any doubt, seek
advice from your Dealer/Authorised
repairer.
Airbag deployment is de pendent on the rate at
which the passenger compartment changes
velocity following the collision. Circumstances
affecting different collis ions (vehicle speed,
angle of impact, type an d size of object hit,
etc.), vary considerably and will affect the rate
of deceleration accordingly.
The Supplementary Rest raint System (SRS)
components include:-
• SRS warning indicator.
• Rotary coupler.
• Airbag modules.
• Seat belt pre-te nsioners (front seat belts).
• Airbag diagnostic control unit.
• Crash sensors.
• Airbag wiring harnesses.
The SRS is not designed to operate as a result
of:
• Rear impacts.
• Minor front impacts.
• Minor side impacts.
• Heavy braking.
• Driving over bumps and pot holes.
Therefore, it follows that considerable
superficial damage to the vehicle can occur,
without causing the airbags to deploy.
