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.

AUTO HIGH BEAM
This feature automatically selects and
deselects high beam, unde r specific conditions
of road lighting and in the absence of other
vehicle’s lights. The system is only active when
the ambient light drops below a predetermined
level.
This function is only active if the rotary control
is in the AUTO position and the stalk is in the
central position.
The system will only activate when vehicle
speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h). The system
will deactivate when ve hicle speed drops below
15 mph (24 km/h).
Note: Auto high beam does not operate when
reverse gear is selected.
To manually select high beam, move the stalk
to the high beam position as normal. To return
to Auto high beam, move the stalk back to the
central position.
To manually override to low beam from high
beam, pull the stalk to the flash position and
auto high beam will be cancelled. To return to
auto high beam, push the stalk to the high
beam position and then re turn it to the central
position.
Note: The following may affect the operation of
auto high beam:-
* Highly reflective road signs.
* Vehicles with dim headlamps.
* Adverse weather conditions.
* Dirty sensor.
* Dirty, damaged, or misted windscreen.
To turn off auto high beam, turn the rotary
control from AUTO to headlamps on. The Auto high beam feat
ure can be disabled/
enabled via the security/ vehicle settings menu
of the touch screen. See 61, VEHICLE
SETTINGS .
Note: Ensure that the sensor in the rear view
mirror is not blocked or obstructed.
HEADLAMPS - CONDENSATION
In certain circumstances, misting may occur
on the inside of a lamp lens. This is caused by
natural changes in environmental conditions.
This misting is not de trimental to lamp
performance and will clear during normal
usage.
When auto high beam is enabled,
the system indicator will
illuminate.

reverse gear is select ed, the passenger door
mirror automatically adjusts to provide an
improved viewing angle for reversing.
The exact dipped position can be adjusted
using the joystick control, when the mirror is
dipped. The next time reverse is selected, the
newly adjusted position will be selected.
When the gear selector is moved out of
reverse, or if vehicle speed exceeds 12 km/h
(7.5 mph) while reversing, the mirror will
return to its previous position.
Mirror dip can be selected or deselected using
the touch screen, as follows:
• From the touch screen Home menu, select
Set-up .
• Select Security/vehicle .
• Select Windows/mirrors .
• Select Reverse mirror dip - On or Off.

Blind spot monitoring
47
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.

Garage door opener

Garage door openerGARAGE DOOR TRANSCEIVER
Do not use the transceiver with any
garage door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature as
required by safety standards.
When programming the transceiver to
a garage door opener or entry gate,
ensure the area is clear. This will
prevent potential harm or damage as
the gate or garage door will activate
during the programme.
This device may suffer from
interference if operate d in the vicinity of
a mobile or fixed station transmitter.
This interference is li kely to affect the
hand-held transmitter as well as the
in-car transceiver.
The door transceiver is located in the rear-view
mirror. It can be programmed to transmit the
radio frequencies of up to three different
transmitters, which can be used to operate
garage doors, entry gates, home lighting,
security systems or other radio frequency
operated devices.
Although this section mainly describes the
procedures for a garage door opener, it equally
applies to the previously mentioned
applications.
In some countries, this feature is also known
as the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.
For further information, see 50,
INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE .
BEFORE PROGRAMMING
When programming a device that may
require you to press and re-press the
hand-held transmitter (cycle), unplug
the device during the cycling process to
prevent possible motor failure.
For best results, fit a new battery to the
hand-held transmitter of the garage door
opener (or other device ) before programming.
If your garage door opener receiver (located in
the garage) is equippe d with an antenna,
ensure that the antenna is hanging straight
down.
PROGRAMMING
Ensuring that the engine is switched off:
1. Ensure that the ignition system is on.
2. Hold the end of the original garage door
opener hand-held transmitter 50 to
150 mm (2 to 6 inches) away from the
transceiver in the rear-view mirror, keeping
the indicator lamp in view.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press
and hold both the chosen transceiver
button on the rear-view mirror, as shown
above, and the hand- held transmitter
button. Keep both but tons pressed. The
indicator lamp will flas h slowly at first and
then change to a fast flash. When the
indicator lamp flashes rapidly, release both
buttons. The rapid flashing lamp indicates
successful programming.
