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.

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.

Intelligent stop/start
79
Intelligent stop/startECO STOP/START
The Stop/Start system is designed to improve
fuel efficiency and is automatically activated
when the ignition is turned on. If the vehicle is
stopped (e.g. at traffic lights or in traffic), the
engine will turn off ( unless it is required to
support other vehicle systems). When the
brake is released and a drive gear is selected,
the engine will restart automatically.
To activate an automatic engine stop:
• Stop the vehicle from a speed greater than
4 km/h (2.5 mph) and apply sufficient
brake pressure to ensure the vehicle is
stationary.
• Alternatively, whilst stationary, select P
(Park) or N (Neutral).
To activate an automatic engine restart release
the brake pedal with D (Drive) or S (Sport)
selected. The engine will also restart if one of the
following occurs:
•
The accelerator pedal is pressed.
• A shift paddle is used to select a gear.
• R (Reverse) is selected.
• Climate control system demand increases.
• The vehicle’s speed exceeds approximately
1 km/h (0.5 mph).
• Battery charge becomes low.
• Brake vacuum has be en reduced (e.g.
using the brake pedal repeatedly with the
engine off).
• Stop/Start is deactivated.
The following conditions will prevent an
automatic engine stop:
• A shift paddle has been used to select a
gear.
• The external temperature is less than
approximately 0 °C (32 °F).
• The external temperature is more than
approximately 40 °C (104 °F).
• The engine has not reached operating
temperature.
• The driver's door is opened.
• The driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
• The climate control system demand
requires the engine to be running (for
example, in Defrost mode).
• The battery charge is low.
• The bonnet is opened.
• Stop/Start is deactivated.
The warning lamp in the
instrument panel
illuminates when
the engine has been switched off
by the Stop/Start system.
