Stability controlWINTER MODE
Winter mode optimises stability of the vehicle
to suit slippery conditions, when grip is
reduced. This helps the vehicle to perform in a
more gentle and controlled manner, to avoid
skidding, allowing more confident progress
under adverse conditions.
Note: Winter mode cannot be active at the
same time as Dynamic m ode. Winter mode will
remain selected indefinitely, even after the
ignition is switched off. Winter mode must be
deselected if no longer required.
DYNAMIC MODE
Note: When the transmission is set to
permanent manual mode and Dynamic mode is
selected, transmission upshifts are fully
controlled by the driver . The transmission will
not change up automatically, even when the rev
limit is reached (the ge ar position indicator in
the message centre will gl ow amber, to indicate
that the next gear should be selected).
Note: Dynamic mode cannot be active at the
same time as Winter mode. Dynamic mode will
remain selected for approximately six hours
after the ignition is switched off, after which
point it will need to be reselected if required.
TRACDSC
Vehicle safety may be reduced by
inappropriate use of of Trac DSC. Trac
DSC should only be used in suitable
conditions.
Trac DSC is an alternative setting of DSC, with
reduced system interventions. With Trac DSC
engaged, traction may be increased, although
stability may be reduced compared to normal
DSC. Trac DSC is intended for use only on dry
tarmac, by suitably experienced drivers. Trac
DSC should not be selected for other surfaces
or by drivers with insuff icient skill and training
to operate the vehicle safely with Trac DSC
function engaged.
Press to operate. Designed for use
in slippery conditions, when
active, Winter mode selects 2nd
gear for driving away on level
ground (no incline), softens the
responsiveness of the engine and
modifies the gear change strategy.
This helps ensure that optimum
traction is maintained.
Press to operate. Dynamic mode
co-ordinates the vehicle's control
systems to deliver a high
performance driving experience.
This setting enhances key vehicle
systems so that the vehicle's full
potential can be exploited. The
vehicle's responses are aimed at
involving the driver more in
focused and purposeful driving.

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.

PUNCTURED TYRES
Do not drive the vehicle with a
punctured tyre. Even if the punctured
tyre has not deflated, it is unsafe to
use, as the tyre may deflate suddenly
at any time.
REPLACEMENT TYRES
Always fit replacement tyres of the
same type, and wherever possible of
the same make and tread pattern.
If the use of tyres not recommended by
Jaguar is unavoidable, ensure that
you read, and fully comply with, the
tyre manufacturer’s instructions.
Ideally, tyres should be re placed in sets of four.
If this is not possible, replace the tyres in pairs
(both front or both rear). When tyres are
replaced, the wheels should always be
re-balanced and alignment checked.
The correct tyre specification for your vehicle
can be found on the ty re placard label.
PRESSURE COMPENSATION FOR
TEMPERATURE CHANGES
A colder ambient local temperature will reduce
pressure within the tyre. An effect is to
decrease sidewall height and to increase tyre
shoulder wear with the potential for tyre failure.
Vehicle dynamics could also be adversely
affected.
Tyre pressures can be adjusted to compensate
before the start of the journey. Alternatively,
tyre pressures can be adjusted when the area
of lower ambient temperature is reached.
In this situation, the vehicle must be left in the
ambient local temperature for at least one hour
before tyre pressure is adjusted. To compensate for colder ambient
temperatures, tyre pressures should be
increased by 0.14 bar (2 psi, 14 kPa) for each
10°C (20°F) decrease.
Note:
Ensure that correct tyre pressures are
maintained when moving to areas of differing
ambient temperature.
AVOIDING FLAT SPOTS
In order to minimise fl at spotting, the tyre
pressures can be increased to the maximum as
stated on the tyre sidewall, for the period when
the vehicle is stationary. Tyres must be
returned to the specified running pressures
before driving.
TYRE DEGRADATION
Tyres degrade over time due to the effects of
ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high
loads, and environmen tal conditions. It is
recommended that tyres are replaced at least
every six years, but they may require
replacement more frequently.
USING WINTER TYRES
Do not exceed 240 km/h (150 mph) when
using Jaguar approv ed winter tyres.
Winter tyres must be fitted to all four wheels.
Note: Tyres with an all season icon or M+S
have a level of winter performance and need
not be replaced.

WINTER TYRE PRESSURES USING SNOW CHAINS
It is essential that
only snow chains of
the recommended type are fitted.
Snow chains can only be fitted to rear wheels.
They should not be used on temporary use
spare wheels.
Contact your Dealer/Authorised Repairer for
details and availabilit y of approved snow
chains.
The maximum speed when using snow chains
is 50 km/h (30 mph).
Note: When using snow chains, select
JaguarDrive Contro l Winter mode and switch
DSC off. DSC would reduce the deep snow
traction capability as it would limit wheel spin
to a level below that which is required to
generate maximum traction.
