L
Entering the vehicle
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 information concerning the
locations of the security system
transmitters, see 173, REMOTE KEY
FOB TRANSMITTER LOCATIONS.
If a remote control is lost, a
replacement can be obtained and
reprogrammed 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 the remaining
remote control(s) reprogrammed.
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.
The Smart Key may not be detected if it
is placed within a metal container or if it
is shielded by a device with a back-lit
LCD screen, such as a smart phone,
laptop (including laptop bag), games
console etc. Keep the Smart Key clear of
such devices when attempting Keyless
entry or Keyless starting.

Note: Keyless entry will unlock the vehicle in
accordance with the current security setting
(Single-point or Multi-point 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 Place As Shown will be
displayed in the message centre. Find the
Smart Key and place it against the fascia, below
the auxiliary switch pack, as shown previously.
The security system fitted to your vehicle is
Thatcham category 1 approved, and meets EU
regulations 97/116 and EU directive 95/56 EC.

GLOBAL OPENING
Press and hold the unlock button for three
seconds. The vehicle will unlock and the alarm
will be disarmed immediately. After three
seconds, all of the windows will open. This
feature can be enabled/disabled via the
instrument panel menu.
To stop the windows from opening/closing
during the global opening/closing operation,
press any of the buttons on the Jaguar Smart
Key or operate the driver’s window switch. To
stop a particular window from opening,
operate the relevant window switch.

DRIVE-AWAY LOCKING
Locks all the doors when the vehicle exceeds 8
km/h (5 mph). Use of the central locking/
unlocking buttons (see 206, DRIVER
CONTROLS) will override the drive-away
locking feature for the rest of a journey.
If a door is individually unlocked and opened,
all doors will relock when the open door is
subsequently closed.

REMOTE KEY FOB BATTERY
REPLACEMENT
Note: There are two designs of Smart Key,
refer to the information which is relevant to the
design of Smart Key supplied with the vehicle.
When the battery needs renewing, there will be
a significant decrease in the effective range and
the message SMART KEY BATTERY LOW is
displayed in the message centre.

REMOTE KEY FOB CARE
To prevent accidental operation,
which may result in an injury, never
leave the Jaguar Smart Key in the
vehicle if children or animals are also
left in the vehicle.
Do not expose to extremes of heat, dust,
humidity or allow contact with fluids. Do not
leave the transmitter exposed to direct
sunlight.
The emergency key blade number is recorded
on an attached label. Peel off the label and
attach it to the designated area on the Security
Card, supplied in the literature pack. Keep the
Security Card safe, but not in the vehicle.
The operational range of the Jaguar Smart Key
will vary considerably depending on
atmospheric conditions and interference from
other transmitting devices.
Note: The radio frequency used by the Smart
Key may be used by other devices (e.g. medical
equipment). This may prevent the Smart Key
from operating correctly.

1. Press the release button on the side of the
Smart Key.
2. Open the Smart Key cover.
3. Remove the battery drawer.
4. Remove the battery.

that they click securely into place.
Battery disposal: Used batteries
must be disposed of correctly, as
they contain harmful substances.

DOOR LOCK AND RELEASE LEVERS
Exiting the vehicle

DOUBLE LOCKING
Never double lock the vehicle with
people, children or pets inside. In the
event of an emergency they would be
unable to escape, and the emergency
services would be unable to release
them quickly.
When the vehicle is double-locked the
doors cannot be opened, either from
inside or outside the vehicle.

1. Press the locking lever to lock the door,
pull the lever to unlock the door. Operating
the locking lever on either front door will
lock or unlock all closed doors.
2. Pull the release lever to open a door. If a
rear door is locked, operating the lever will
have no effect.
Note: If the car was locked using the Jaguar
Smart Key, then operating the locking lever will
only unlock that door and the alarm will sound.
If the vehicle has been double-locked, the
interior door lock and release levers will not
operate. The vehicle must be unlocked using
the Jaguar Smart Key.

SINGLE LOCKING
Press the lock button briefly. Single locking
secures the vehicle and prevents the doors and
luggage compartment being opened from
outside of the vehicle. The doors can be
unlocked and opened from inside the vehicle.
The hazard warning lamps will flash once as
confirmation.

Press the lock button twice within three
seconds. Double locking secures the vehicle
and prevents the doors and luggage
compartment being unlocked or opened from
inside or outside of the vehicle, except with the
correct Jaguar Smart Key. The hazard warning
lamps will flash twice (with a long second
flash) and an audible warning will sound as
confirmation.
The audible warning can be
enabled/ disabled by your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

LOCK CONFIRMATION
If you are uncertain whether the vehicle is
locked and armed (either by single or double
locking), press the lock button again. The
hazard warning lights will flash to indicate and
confirm the current lock status.
Note: If the vehicle is not already locked and
armed, pressing the lock button will single lock
the vehicle. Press again to double lock, if
required.

Exiting the vehicle
MISLOCK

The vehicle will not lock automatically.

If one of the doors, the hood 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 hood and the luggage compartment
are closed properly and lock the vehicle again.

To single-lock the vehicle, press the button on
the door handle once. The hazard warning
lamps will flash once as confirmation (in some
markets, an audible warning will sound).

If one or more of the doors fails to lock
properly when a lock attempt is made using the
Jaguar Smart Key, two 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. Alternatively, press and hold the lock
button on the door handle. The vehicle will
single lock and the alarm will be fully armed
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.

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 metal container or if it
is shielded by a device with a back-lit
LCD screen, such as a smart phone,
laptop (including laptop bag), games
console etc.

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 only activate if all
doors, bonnet and the luggage compartment
are closed and the Jaguar Smart Key is outside
the vehicle. If the above 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. 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 the front interior light
console.
The intrusion sensors can be temporarily
disabled, for the next time the vehicle is locked,
via the Vehicle Set-up area of the instrument
panel menu.

PERIMETER ALARM
To set perimeter alarm protection, press the
lock button. The hazard warning lights will
flash to confirm the alarm state.

BATTERY-BACKED SOUNDER
In certain markets, a separate battery backed
sounder is fitted. This device will sound the
alarm if the vehicle battery or the alarm
sounder is disconnected when the security
system is armed.

DEACTIVATING THE ALARM WHEN
TRIGGERED
If the alarm has been triggered, it can be
deactivated by any one of the following
methods:
• Pressing the unlock button on the Jaguar
Smart Key.
• Opening a door using keyless entry.
• Pressing the START/STOP button with a
valid Jaguar Smart Key present.

TILT SENSOR
The tilt sensor detects any change in the
vehicle's angle to the ground. When the alarm
is armed and the vehicle double-locked, any
change in the vehicle's angle will activate the
tilt alarm.
Note: The tilt sensors can be temporarily
disabled, for the next time the vehicle is locked,
via the Vehicle Set-up area of the instrument
panel menu.

PASSIVE ARMING
This vehicle is fitted with a passive arming
feature which can, if enabled, automatically
arm the anti-theft system. Passive arming will
automatically arm the perimeter alarm system
60 seconds after the driver's door is closed,
provided all doors, bonnet and luggage
compartment are closed, the ignition is
switched off and there are no valid Jaguar
Smart Keys inside the vehicle.

Passive arming will not lock the vehicle,
although access to the luggage compartment
via the interior or exterior release buttons will
be prevented and the fuel filler flap will be
locked.
Passive arming can be enabled/
disabled by your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

AUTOMATIC RELOCKING AND
RE-ARMING OF THE ALARM
Automatic relock and re-arm is a feature which,
if enabled, automatically relocks the vehicle
and arms the anti-theft system.
If the vehicle is in a locked and armed state and
the remote unlock button is pressed, but none
of the doors or the luggage compartment are
opened within 40 seconds, the vehicle will
automatically relock all the doors and the
luggage compartment and will re-arm the
alarm system.
Note: Automatic relocking and arming will only
relock and arm to the last locked and armed
state.
Automatic relocking and
re-arming can be enabled/disabled
by your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer.

SENSOR FAULTS
If the security systems detect a fault with one
of the security sensors, an error tone will
sound from the alarm after the vehicle is
unlocked and disarmed. If this condition
occurs, please visit your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer for rectification.

all contribute to the protection of the user.
Correct use of these components 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, to achieve optimum benefit of the
seat belt in the event of an accident.
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 and 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.

R
Occupant safety
1. If children are to be carried in the rear seat
positions, it is recommended that the rear
door interior handles are disabled. To
change the child lock settings:• Open the door to access the child
safety lock.
• Insert the emergency key into the slot
and rotate a quarter of a turn, to enable
or disable the interior door handle, as
required.

The use of comfort clips or devices
that would create slack in the seat
belt system, is not advised.

2. To install an ISOFIX child seat (not
Australia):• Raise the head restraint on the relevant
seat.
• Locate the lower anchor bars which are
accessible through the gap between
the seat back and seat base. Insert the
protective guides supplied with the
child seat as shown. The insertion
positions for the guides are identified
by the ISOFIX labels.
• Slide the child seat locking mechanism
into the protective sleeves and onto the
anchor bars.
• Test the security of the child restraint.
To do this, attempt to pull the restraint
away from the vehicle seat and twist
the restraint from side to side. Even if
the restraint appears secure you
should always check the anchor points
visually to ensure correct attachment.

4. Draw the belt out smoothly, ensure that the
belt height, the seat, and your position on
the seat are correct.

Note: Always ensure that if an upper tether
is provided, it is fitted and tightened
correctly.
3. To adjust the seat belt height:• Press to release the catch.
• With the catch depressed slide the
mechanism up or down to the required
height. Release the catch and ensure
the locking mechanism has engaged.

No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
will either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating
to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being
adjusted to remove slack.

Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as
applicable; wearing the lap
section of the belt across the
abdominal area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been
designed. A slack belt will greatly
reduce the protection afforded to
the wearer.
Belts should not be worn with the
straps twisted.
Each belt assembly must only be
used by one occupant; it is
dangerous to put a belt around a
child being carried on the
occupant's lap.
The occupants of the front seats
should not travel with the seat
back at more than 30 degrees from
upright. Doing so will reduce the
protection afforded by the seat
belt.

L
Occupant safety
Never place anything between you
and the seat belt in an attempt to
cushion the impact in the event of
an accident.
5. With the seat belt correctly positioned,
place the metal tongue into the buckle
nearest to you. Press it in until a click is
heard. Ensure that all slack has been taken
up by the retractor and the belt fits tightly
across the hips.
Note: When releasing the seat belt it is
advisable to hold the belt before pressing
the release button. This will prevent the
belt from retracting too quickly.
To release the seat belt, press the red
button.
6. Use of seat belts during pregnancy:
Position the lap strap comfortably across
the hips beneath the abdomen. Place the
diagonal part of the seat belt between the
breasts and to the side of the abdomen.
Position the seat belt correctly for
the safety of the mother and
unborn child. Never wear just the
lap strap, and never sit on the lap
strap whilst using just the
shoulder strap.
Never place anything between you
and the seat belt. It can be
dangerous and reduce the
effectiveness of the seat belt in
preventing injury.
Ensure that the seat belt is not
slack or twisted.
7. Tether strap anchorages. See 28,
INSTALLING TETHER ANCHORAGE CHILD
RESTRAINTS.

Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used
for adult seat belts, harnesses or
for attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.
If a child seat or restraint system
is to be fitted to the centre seating
position, the centre armrest must
be in the stowed position (folded
into the seat).
Note: A tether anchorage is provided for
the centre seat position. Do not use this
anchor position with an ISOFIX child seat.

SEAT BELT SAFETY
Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing with
polishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using mild
soap and water.
The belt should be replaced if
webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated or damaged.
It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in a
severe impact, even if damage to the
assembly is not obvious.
Do not carry hard, fragile or sharp
items between your person and the
seat belt.
Seat belts should be worn by all
vehicle occupants, for every journey,
no matter how short.
When using seat belts to restrain
items other than occupants, take care
to ensure that the belts are not
damaged, or exposed to sharp edges.

seat belt system, is not advised.

The warning lamp will also flash in conjunction
with the Beltminder warning chime.

BELTMINDER
SEAT BELT CHECKS
Note: If the vehicle is parked on an incline, the
seat belt mechanism may lock. This is a safety
feature and the belt should be gently eased out
from the upper anchorage.
The seat belts should be inspected regularly to
check for fraying, cuts or wear to the webbing,
and the condition and security of the
mechanism, buckles, adjusters, and mounting
points.
• With the seat belt fastened, give the
webbing near the buckle a quick upward
pull. The buckle must remain securely
locked.
• With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the
seat belt to the limit of its travel. Check that
it unreels smoothly with no snatches or
snags. Allow the belt to fully retract, again
checking for smooth operation.
• Partially unreel the seat belt, then hold the
tongue plate and give a quick forward pull.
The mechanism must lock and prevent any
further unreeling.
If any of the seat belts fail to meet those
criteria, immediately contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.

SEAT BELT WARNING LAMP
The warning lamp in the
instrument panel stays illuminated
when the driver’s or front
passenger’s seat belt is not
fastened (if the passenger seat is
occupied). The lamp should
extinguish when the seat belt is
fastened.

A front and rear seat Beltminder system warns
the driver when the seat belt of an occupied
seat is not fastened or is unfastened during a
journey.

A graphic in the message centre indicates
which seat belts are fastened at the start of a
journey and also when a seat belt is fastened or
unfastened during a journey.
Each seating position is represented by a
passenger icon, the colour of which indicates
the seat belt status:
• No colour - seat belt not fastened.
• Green - seat belt fastened.
• Red - driver’s or occupied front seat
passenger’s seat belt is not fastened or is
unfastened during a journey.
In addition, an audible warning will sound
under the following conditions:
• The driver’s or occupied front seat
passenger’s seat belt is not fastened or is
unfastened during a journey.
• A rear seat belt is unfastened.
Note: If a heavy object is placed on the front
passenger seat, it may activate the Beltminder
feature. It is recommended that the object be
placed in the luggage compartment or secured
using the seat belt.

your Dealer/Authorised Repairer to disable or
re-instate the function.

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, 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 using 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 are 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 belt 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 the end of the fascia on
the passenger side, warns against the use of a
rear-facing child seat in the front passenger
seat, when a front passenger airbag is fitted
and operational.

* Jaguar recommend that the front passenger
seat be positioned fully rearward, with the
cushion adjusted to the highest position when
installing child restraints.

If the restraint is not correctly
anchored, there is a significant risk of
injury to the child in the event of a
collision or emergency braking.

Note: Ages given are approximate. In case of

BOOSTER CUSHIONS
In a situation where a child is too large to fit
into a child safety seat, but is still too small to
safely fit the three point belt properly, a booster
seat is recommended for maximum safety.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
fitting and use, then adjust the seat belt to suit.

INSTALLING TETHER ANCHORAGE

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

Occupant safety
•
•

The front or sides of the vehicle are
damaged.
Any part of the Airbag Supplementary
Restraint System (SRS) 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 examination and
repair.
Do not obstruct the 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 seats, 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, vehicles fitted with
SRS. If you are in any doubt, seek
advice from your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer.
Airbag deployment is dependent on the rate at
which the passenger compartment changes
velocity following the collision. Circumstances
affecting different collisions (vehicle speed,
angle of impact, type and size of object hit,
etc.), vary considerably and will affect the rate
of deceleration accordingly.
The Supplementary Restraint System (SRS)
components include:• SRS warning indicator.
• Rotary coupler.
• Airbag modules.
• Seat belt pre-tensioners (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.

Occupant safety
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EFFECTS
When an airbag inflates, a fine
powder is released. This is normal
and not an indication of a malfunction.
The powder may cause irritation to the
skin and should be thoroughly flushed
from eyes and any cuts or abrasions.
Airbag deployment is accompanied by
a very loud noise which may cause
discomfort and temporary loss of
hearing.

AIRBAG WARNING LAMP
The airbag warning indicator is
mounted in the instrument panel,
and will illuminate as a bulb check
when the ignition is switched on.
If the warning indicator signals that a
fault is present in the system, do not
use a child restraint on the front
passenger seat.
If any of the following warning indicator
conditions occur, the vehicle should be
checked by your Dealer/Authorised Repairer
immediately.
• The warning indicator fails to illuminate
when the START/STOP button is initially
switched on.
• The warning indicator fails to extinguish
within six seconds of the START/STOP
button being switched on.
• The warning indicator illuminates at any
time other than during the bulb check.

AIRBAG SERVICE INFORMATION
Do not attempt to service, repair,
replace, modify, or tamper with, any
part of the SRS. This includes wiring
or components in the vicinity of SRS
components. Doing so may cause the
system to trigger, or render the
system inoperative.
Do not use any electrical test
equipment or devices in the vicinity of
SRS components or wiring. Doing so
may cause the system to trigger, or
render the system inoperative.
All of the following operations should only be
carried out by a Dealer/Authorised Repairer, or

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)
Adaptive front lighting is designed to give the
driver improved visibility, using a swivelling
headlamp unit, a static bending lamp and a
cornering lamp. These lamps broaden the
beam of the headlamps when cornering in
different circumstances.
The headlamp unit swivels accordingly when
cornering, to improve light spread on bends in
the road.
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 and headlamps
will automatically switch off two minutes later.

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 vehicle 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

Blind spot monitoring
BLIND SPOT MONITOR
Blind spot monitoring

The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) system
is a supplement to, not a replacement
for, a safe driving style and use of the
exterior and rear-view mirrors.
Please note that BSM may not be able
to give adequate warning of vehicles
approaching very quickly from behind
or vehicles that are being overtaken
rapidly.
BSM may not be able to detect all
vehicles and may also detect objects,
such as roadside barriers, etc.

The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) system
monitors a zone that covers the area adjacent
to the vehicle, that is not easily visible by the
driver and is designed to identify any object
overtaking the vehicle (3). The system uses a
radar on each side of the vehicle to identify any
overtaking vehicle/object within the blind spot
area of the vehicle, while disregarding other
objects which may be stationary or travelling in
the opposite direction, etc.

The radar sensors may be impaired by
rain, snow or road spray. This may
affect the system's ability to reliably
detect a vehicle/object within the
blind spot.
Ensure that the warning indicators in
the exterior mirrors are not obscured by
stickers or other objects.
Do not attach stickers or objects to the
rear bumpers, that may interfere with
the radar sensors.

If an object is identified by the system as being
an overtaking vehicle/object, an amber
warning icon (1) illuminates in the relevant
exterior mirror, to alert the driver that there is a
potential hazard in the vehicle's blind spot and
therefore, that a lane change might be
dangerous.
The radar monitors the area extending from the
exterior mirror rearwards, to approximately 6
metres (20 feet) behind the rear wheels, and up
to 2.5 metres (8.2 feet) from the side of the
vehicle (the width of a typical carriageway
lane).

(FM8) SEMCON JLR OWNER GUIDE VER 1.00 EURO
LANGUAGE: english-en; MARQUE: jaguar; MODEL: XJ

L
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, objects 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) remains illuminated until
forward vehicle speed exceeds 16 km/h (10
mph).
BSM can be turned off in the Vehicle settings
area of the instrument panel menu. See 53,
INTERACTIVE CONTROLS .
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 sensors become completely
obscured, an amber warning indicator dot (2)
is displayed in the exterior mirror and the
message BSM 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 clear 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 BSM 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 TRANSCEIVER
Garage door opener

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.

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 equipped with an antenna,
ensure that the antenna is hanging straight
down.

PROGRAMMING

This device may suffer from
interference if operated in the vicinity of
a mobile or fixed station transmitter.
This interference is likely 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.

Ensuring that the engine is switched off:

Although this section mainly describes the
procedures for a garage door opener, it equally
applies to the previously mentioned
applications.

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 buttons pressed. The
indicator lamp will flash 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.

In some countries, this feature is also known
as the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.
For further information, see 47,
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.

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.

4. If, after 60 seconds, the indicator lamp
does not flash rapidly, release both the
transceiver and the hand-held transmitter
buttons and repeat the procedure starting
with Step 2. Position the hand-held
transmitter at a different angle and/or

JAGUARDRIVE SELECTOR
The JaguarDrive selector elevates out of the
centre console when the engine is started, in
readiness for gear selection
P should be selected before switching off the
engine. However, it is possible to switch the
engine off with R, D or S selected - the selector
will automatically select P, while retracting into
the centre console.
Note: If the engine is switched off with N
selected, the system will wait for 10 minutes
before selecting P. This procedure is to allow
the vehicle to be conveyed through a car wash
only and should not be used for vehicle
recovery purposes.
To prevent the transmission from
automatically selecting P (e.g. for vehicle
recovery purposes) it is necessary to activate
the Emergency Park Release. Vehicle recovery
should only be undertaken by qualified
personnel.

IF THE SELECTOR FAILS TO ELEVATE
If the JaguarDrive selector is obstructed
remove the obstruction and then start the
engine. The selector should elevate as normal.
If the selector still fails to elevate, even if there
is no obstruction, a fault in the system is
indicated. The selector can still be used in the
lowered position, but be aware that it will not
automatically select P when the engine is
switched off. P should be selected manually.
The fault should be rectified by a Dealer/
Authorised Repairer at the earliest opportunity.

If continued use of manual mode is required,
the gear selector may be subsequently moved
to the S position to enter permanent manual
mode.
If the gear selector remains in the D position,
temporary manual mode will be held whilst the
driver is accelerating, decelerating, cornering
or continuing to request shifts via the paddles.

LIMP-HOME MODE
Note: The driver should be aware that the
vehicle’s performance will be reduced and
must take this into account when driving. Also
the use of the Jaguar Sequential Shift paddles
will be disabled. In this event, seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
In the event of an electrical or mechanical
failure, transmission operation will be limited.
P, R, N, D and S may still be used to enable the
vehicle to be driven to a safe area.
Some faults will cause the selector to be locked
in position until the ignition is switched off. If
the selected range flashes, it signifies that the
driver request cannot be engaged. Re-select N
and repeat the attempt.
If the transmission is still unable to select the
requested gear, contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.

TEMPORARY MANUAL GEAR

Stability control
WINTER MODE
Stability control

Press for at least one second 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.
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.
If conditions result in reduced traction being
perceived, use of TRAC DSC or DSC OFF may
improve progress, provided that the correct
tyres for the conditions are fitted.
Note: Winter mode cannot be active at the
same time as Dynamic mode. Winter mode will
remain selected, even after the ignition is
switched off. Winter mode must be deselected
if no longer required.

DYNAMIC MODE
Press for at least one second 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.
When dynamic mode is selected, TracDSC is
automatically selected.
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 gear position indicator in
the message centre will glow 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.

Stability control
TRACDSC
TracDSC should only be used when
necessary for the prevailing
conditions.
TracDSC optimises the DSC settings for
maximum traction in difficult conditions, such
as packed snow. This makes greater traction
available, without having to completely lose the
benefits of DSC. However, vehicle stability may
be reduced. The less restrictive settings of
TracDSC also enable a more involving and
focused driving experience.
Conditions where the use of TracDSC would be
advantageous or necessary:
• On packed snow.
• To help maintain the movement of the
vehicle on soft or loose surfaces (e.g.
gravel or sand).
• When snow chains are fitted and
JaguarDrive Control special modes are off
(or switch DSC off in Winter mode).
• To maximise driver involvement.
Note: When DSC is off with Winter mode
selected, the vehicle retains a reduced level of
DSC control, but the parameters are optimised
for use with snow chains.

Brakes
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Brakes

Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal whilst the vehicle is in motion.
Never allow the vehicle to coast
(freewheel) with the engine turned off.
The engine must be running to provide
full braking assistance. The brakes
will still function with the engine off,
but far more pressure will be required
to operate them.
If the red brake warning lamp
illuminates, safely bring the vehicle to
a stop, as quickly as possible. Seek
qualified assistance before
proceeding.
Never place non-approved floor
matting or any other obstructions
under the brake pedal. This restricts
pedal travel and braking efficiency.
Driving through heavy rain or water can have
an adverse effect on braking efficiency. Under
such circumstances, it is recommended that
you lightly apply the brakes intermittently to
dry the brakes.

BRAKE WARNING LAMPS
If this red warning lamp
illuminates while driving and/or
the message LOW BRAKE FLUID
is displayed in the message
centre, check the brake fluid level
at the earliest opportunity and
top-up as required.
If this amber warning lamp
illuminates while driving and/or
ABS FAULT is displayed in the
message centre, drive with extra
caution, avoid heavy braking
where possible, and seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
EBD balances the distribution of braking forces
between the wheels on the front and rear axles,
to maintain maximum braking under all vehicle
loading conditions.
For example; Under light loads, EBD applies
less braking effort to the rear wheels, to
maintain stability. Conversely, it allows full
braking effort to the rear wheels when the
vehicle is heavily laden.
A fault with the EBD system is indicated by the
red brake warning lamp and the message EBD
FAULT. The braking system will still operate,
but without EBD assistance. Seek qualified
assistance to have the fault rectified.

EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST (EBA)
The EBA system measures the rate at which the
brake pressure increases. If the system detects
an emergency braking situation, EBA
automatically initiates full braking effect. This
can reduce stopping distances in critical
situations.
A fault with the EBA system is indicated by the
brake warning lamp illuminating and
Emergency Brake Assist Not Available
displaying in the message centre. The braking
system will still function, but without EBA
assistance. Seek qualified assistance to have
the fault rectified.

Tyre pressure monitoring system
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
Tyre pressure monitoring system

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 tyres, 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 MONITORING SYSTEM FAULT is
displayed in the message centre.

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 Frequency (RF) signals.
The tyre pressure warning
comprises a yellow warning
telltale within the instrument panel
and the associated messages
within the message centre.
If the telltale light illuminates, 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 system 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.

Wheels fitted with a TPM system can be
visually identified by the external metal lock nut
and valve (1). All Jaguar non-TPM system
wheels have a rubber valve fitted (2).

TPM system malfunctions 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.

Tyre pressure monitoring system
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. Then after approximately
ten minutes of driving above 25 km/h (18
mph), a message detailing 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
fully 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 replaced 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 valve retention nut.

REPLACEMENT TPMS SENSOR
Should the sensor require replacing, it should
be carried out by a Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
A replacement sensor must be fitted to a
running wheel in order to be recognised by the
system. The vehicle needs to be stationary for
15 minutes during the sensor fitment before
the system is ready to detect the new sensor.
The vehicle must be driven for a minimum of
fifteen minutes after the sensor change, and
then remain stationary for fifteen minutes to
activate full TPM system operation.

Adaptive cruise control
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
OVERVIEW
Adaptive cruise control

USING ACC

The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system is
designed to aid the driver to maintain a gap
from the vehicle ahead or a set road speed if
there is no slower vehicle ahead.

•
•
•

ACC is not a collision warning or
avoidance system. Additionally, ACC
will not react to:
Stationary or slow moving vehicles below
10 km/h (6 mph).
Pedestrians or objects in the roadway.
Oncoming vehicles in the same lane.

The ACC system uses a radar sensor, which
projects a beam directly forward of the vehicle
to detect objects ahead.
The radar sensor is mounted behind the
bumper cover to the left of the cooling
aperture, to provide a clear view forward for the
radar beam.
• Only use ACC when conditions are
favourable (i.e. main roads with free
flowing traffic).
• Do not use in poor visibility, specifically
fog, heavy rain, spray or snow.
• Do not use on icy or slippery roads.
• It is the drivers responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
• Keep the front of the vehicle free from dirt,
metal badges or objects, including vehicle
front protectors, which may prevent the
sensor from operating.
• Do not use ACC when entering or leaving a
motorway.

1. Gap decrease button.
2. RES (Resume): Resumes the ACC set
speed after it has been disengaged.
3. CAN (Cancel) button.
4. Gap increase button.
The system is operated by controls mounted
on the steering wheel. The driver can also
intervene at any time by use of the brake or
accelerator pedals.
Setting the vehicle speed, activating, and
deactivating ACC is done in the same way as
using cruise control.

ENTERING FOLLOW MODE
When in follow mode, the vehicle will
not decelerate automatically to a stop,
nor will the vehicle always decelerate
quickly enough to avoid a collision.
Once a set speed has been selected, the driver
can release the accelerator and the set road
speed will be maintained.

Adaptive cruise control
When a vehicle ahead enters the same lane or
a slower vehicle is ahead in the same lane, the
vehicle speed will be adjusted automatically
until the gap to the vehicle ahead corresponds
to the default gap setting (gap level 3). The
vehicle is now in follow mode.
The amber warning lamp in the
instrument panel will be
illuminated.

If the ACC system predicts that its maximum
braking level will not be sufficient, then an
audible warning will sound while the ACC
continues to brake. DRIVER INTERVENE will be
displayed on the message centre. The driver
should take immediate action.
When in follow mode, the vehicle will
automatically return to the set speed when the
road ahead is clear, for instance when:
• The vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane.
• The driver changes lane to either side or
enters an exit lane.
The driver should intervene if appropriate.

CHANGING THE FOLLOW MODE SET
GAP
Four gap settings are available and the selected
gap setting will be displayed on the message
centre when either gap adjustment button is
pressed.
The message centre will display the gap set.
The vehicle will then maintain the constant time
gap to the vehicle ahead until:
• The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed
above the set speed.
• The vehicle ahead moves out of lane or out
of view.
• A new gap distance is set.
If necessary, the vehicle brakes will be
automatically applied to slow the vehicle to
maintain the gap to the vehicle in front.
The maximum braking which is applied by the
ACC system is limited and can be overridden by
the driver applying the brakes, if required.

Each gap level is indicated by an additional
chevron in front of the vehicle icon in the
message centre (one chevron (gap level 1)
being the shortest, four chevrons (gap level 4)
being the longest). After the ignition is
switched on, the default gap (gap level 3) will
be automatically selected ready for ACC
operation.
Note: When the ignition is switched off, the
gap setting will revert to the default setting
(gap level 3) when switched on again.
Note: It is the driver’s responsibility to select a
gap appropriate to the driving conditions.

Note: Driver braking will cancel ACC.

Adaptive cruise control
OVERRIDING THE SPEED AND
FOLLOW MODE
Whenever the driver is overriding the
ACC by depressing the accelerator
pedal, the ACC will not automatically
apply the brakes to maintain
separation from any vehicle ahead.
The set speed and gap can be overridden by
pressing the accelerator pedal when cruising at
constant speed or in follow mode. If the vehicle
is in follow mode, the warning lamp will go out
when the ACC is overridden by the driver using
the accelerator and CRUISE OVERRIDE will be
displayed on the message centre. When the
accelerator is released the ACC function will
operate again and vehicle speed will decrease
to the set speed, or a lower speed if follow
mode is active.

AUTOMATIC LOW SPEED
SWITCH-OFF
If the speed of the vehicle decreases below 30
km/h (18 mph), the ACC system will be
automatically switched off and the warning
lamp will go out.
If the brakes were being applied by the ACC
system, they will be slowly released.
This will be accompanied by an audible
warning, and DRIVER INTERVENE will be
displayed on the message centre. The driver
must take control.

ACC AUTO OFF
ACC will disengage, but not clear the memory
when:
• The CAN button is pressed
• The brake pedal is pressed
• Neutral (N), Park (P) or Reverse (R) gear is
selected
• Dynamic Stability Control activates.

ACC will disengage, and clear the memory
when:
• The ignition system is switched off
• Maximum vehicle speed is reached
• A fault occurs in the ACC system.

RESUMING THE SPEED AND
FOLLOW MODE
RES should only be used if the driver is
aware of the set speed and intends to
return to it.
By pressing the RES button after ACC has been
cancelled, for example, after braking, the ACC
will become active again provided that the set
speed memory has not been erased. The
original set speed will be resumed (unless a
vehicle ahead causes the follow mode to
become active) and the set speed will be
displayed in the message centre for four
seconds.

HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ACC
The system acts by regulating the speed of the
vehicle using engine control and the brakes.
Gear changes may occur in response to
deceleration or acceleration whilst in ACC.
ACC is not a collision avoidance system.
However, during some situations the system
may provide the driver with an indication that
intervention is required.
An audible alarm will sound, accompanied by
the message DRIVER INTERVENE if the ACC
detects:
• A failure has occurred whilst the system is
active
• That using maximum ACC braking only is
not sufficient.
Note: ACC operates when the gear selector is
in position S or D.

R
Adaptive cruise control
Note: When engaged, the accelerator pedal
rests in the raised position. Fully release the
pedal to allow normal ACC operation.
Note: When braking is applied by the ACC, the
vehicle brake lamps will be switched on
although the brake pedal will not move.

DETECTION BEAM ISSUES

ACC MALFUNCTION
If a malfunction occurs during operation of the
system in cruise or follow modes, the ACC
system will switch off and cannot be used until
the fault is cleared. The message DRIVER
INTERVENE appears briefly and is then
replaced by the message CRUISE NOT
AVAILABLE. If malfunction of the ACC or any
related system occurs at any other time, the
message CRUISE NOT AVAILABLE will be
displayed. It will not be possible to activate the
ACC system in any mode.
Accumulations of dirt, snow or ice on the
sensor or cover may inhibit ACC operation.
Fitting of a vehicle front protector or metallised
badges may also affect ACC operation.
The ACC system relies on its radar to detect
objects and constantly scans ahead. If the
radar detects no objects ahead in ACC or follow
mode, then the ACC will be deactivated, the
audible alarm sounds and the message
DRIVER INTERVENE displays briefly. The
message ACC SENSOR BLOCKED will then be
displayed.

Detection issues can occur:

The same messages may also be displayed
while driving on open roads with few objects
for the radar to detect.

2. When a vehicle edges into your lane. The
vehicle will only be detected once it has
moved fully into your lane.

Clearing the obstruction allows the system to
return to normal operation. If the obstruction is
present when ACC is inactive (e.g. on initial
starting or with the ACC system switched off),
the message ACC SENSOR BLOCKED will be
displayed.

3. There may be issues with the detection of
vehicles in front when going into and
coming out of a bend.

Tyres other than those recommended for your
vehicle, may have different sizes. This can
affect the correct operation of the ACC.

1. When driving on a different line to the
vehicle in front.

In these cases ACC may brake late or
unexpectedly. The driver should stay alert and
intervene if necessary.

(FM8) SEMCON JLR OWNER GUIDE VER 1.00 EURO
LANGUAGE: english-en; MARQUE: jaguar; MODEL: XJ

L
Adaptive cruise control
FORWARD ALERT FUNCTION
Limited detection and warning of objects
ahead, is provided during ACC operation by the
ACC FORWARD ALERT warning. The enhanced
forward alert feature additionally provides
warnings when ACC is not engaged; if an object
is detected close ahead, then the warning tone
and message will be issued. The brakes will not
be applied.
The forward alert system does not initiate any
action. The driver must take appropriate action
when the FORWARD ALERT message is
displayed. However, the system monitors
driver actions (e.g. braking, steering or
indicating) and may not initiate the warning
display if the appropriate action has been taken
early enough.
The Forward alert function may be switched on
or off from the Vehicle Set-up area in the
instrument panel menu. See 53, INTERACTIVE
CONTROLS.
When the warning lamp in the
instrument panel is on, Forward
alert is active.
The sensitivity of the warning may be changed:
• Press the gap decrease button when ACC is
disengaged to display and then decrease
the sensitivity of the alert.
• Press the gap increase button to display
and then increase the sensitivity of the
alert.
Note: The forward alert set gap is retained
when the ignition is switched off.
FORWARD ALERT is displayed in the message
centre.

ADVANCED EMERGENCY BRAKE
ASSIST
The system may not react to slow
moving vehicles and will not react to
stationary vehicles or vehicles travelling
in the opposite direction.
Warnings may not appear if the
distance to the vehicle ahead is very
small or if steering wheel or pedal
movements are large (e.g. to avoid a
collision).
The system utilises the same radar
sensor as ACC and Forward alert - the
same limitations of performance apply.
Advanced emergency brake assist is available
at speeds above approximately 7 km/h (5 mph)
and improves braking response during
emergency braking, when a moving vehicle is
detected close ahead.
If the risk of collision increases after the
FORWARD ALERT warning is displayed,
advanced emergency brake assist is activated.
The brakes are automatically applied gently in
preparation for rapid braking (this may be
noticeable). If the brake pedal is then pressed
quickly, full braking is implemented, even if
only light pressure is applied to the pedal. See
78, EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST (EBA).
Note: Braking performance will only be
improved if the driver applies the brakes.
Advanced emergency brake assist will function
even if Forward Alert and ACC are switched off.
If there is a fault with the system, FORWARD
ALERT UNAVAILABLE is displayed in the
message centre. The vehicle can still be driven
and the braking system will still operate, but
without advanced emergency brake assistance.
Seek qualified assistance to have the fault
rectified.

Automatic speed limiter
USING ASL
Automatic speed limiter

In certain conditions, such as a steep
downhill gradient, the vehicle speed
may exceed the set speed limit. This
is because engine braking is unable to
maintain or reduce the vehicle speed.
The ASL button allows the driver to select
between cruise control and the automatic
speed limiter. The ASL can be set to any speed
between 30 km/h (18 mph) and 240 km/h (150
mph).
Note: Although ASL only operates at speeds
between 30 km/h (18 mph) and 240 km/h (150
mph), the maximum speed can be set when the
vehicle is stationary.

RESUMING ASL
If ASL has been suspended, it can be reinstated
with a single press of the RES button, however,
ASL will only reinstate if the vehicle speed is
less than the current speed set in memory and
greater than 30 km/h (18 mph). The message
centre will display an appropriate message if
the vehicle speed is too fast to resume ASL.

ASL WARNING LAMP
Illuminates (green) when
Automatic Speed Limiter is active.

SETTING A SPEED LIMIT
•
•

•

Press the ASL button.
Use the cruise control increase/decrease
buttons to set the required speed. The
message centre display in the instrument
panel will show the selected speed.
The set speed can be adjusted at any time,
using the cruise control increase/decrease
buttons.

When ASL is selected and a set speed inserted,
the engine will respond normally up to the set
speed. Further accelerator pedal pressure will
not increase the vehicle speed beyond your set
speed, unless kickdown is initiated, in which
case ASL will be suspended.

SUSPENDING ASL
ASL can be suspended by pressing the CAN
button. Applying sudden, rapid acceleration
(kickdown) will also suspend ASL.

transmitters. If you want to listen to local
channels as you move around the country, use
the auto-tune function (AUTO) to build new
channel lists.

Auto-tune is also useful when travelling
long distances, so regional Ensembles can
be tuned.

Note: If any auxiliary electrical equipment is
connected to the vehicle, then this may reduce
the DAB radio sound quality.

During Auto-tune, a pop-up shows tuning
progress.

ENSEMBLES

The Auto-tune process will not affect
current presets, but some presets may not
operate if the channel they relate to is no
longer available (No reception displays).

Unlike AM/FM radio, DAB transmits several
channels/stations on a single frequency. A
group of channels is known as an ensemble.
Some channels within the ensemble may have
subchannels offering several listening options.
If reception is lost when the vehicle is in
motion, the vehicle may be out of range of the
ensemble. To build a new list of ensembles,
select Auto-tune.

Bluetooth® is the name for
short-range radio frequency (RF)
technology that allows electronic
devices to communicate
wirelessly with each other.
The Jaguar Bluetooth® system supports
Bluetooth® Hands-Free Profile (HFP),
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)
and Audio Video Remote Control Profile
(AVRCP).
Note: HFP and A2DP/AVRCP profiles can be
connected independently, so a phone can be
connected via one, while a media device can be
connected via the other, at the same time.

Telephone
Before use, your mobile phone must be paired
and connected with the vehicle’s Bluetooth®
system. This is done via your mobile phone or
the touch screen. See 124, PAIRING AND
CONNECTING USING THE TOUCH SCREEN or
124, PAIRING AND CONNECTING USING THE
MOBILE PHONE.
Once a mobile phone has been paired and
connected with the vehicle, the system will
attempt to connect with the last connected
phone each time the ignition is switched on.
As these mobile phones have a wide range of
audio and echo characteristics, it may take a
few seconds for the vehicle’s Bluetooth®
system to adapt and deliver optimum audio
performance.
To get the best performance and minimal echo
and noise from the hands-free system, it may
be necessary to reduce the in-vehicle volume
and ventilation fan speed slightly.

TELEPHONE SAFETY
Switch off your telephone in areas
with a high explosion risk. This
includes filling stations, fuel storage
areas or chemical factories, as well
as places where the air contains fuel
vapour, chemicals or metal dust.
The functioning of cardiac
pacemakers or hearing aids may be
impaired when the phone is in use.
Check with a doctor or manufacturer
whether any such devices you or your
passengers are using, are sufficiently
protected against high-frequency
energy.

The Health Industry Manufacturers'
Association recommends that a minimum
separation of 15 centimetres (six inches) is
maintained between a wireless phone antenna
and a pacemaker, to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by, and
recommendations of, Wireless Technology
Research.
Always stow your mobile phone
securely.

TELEPHONE COMPATIBILITY
The vehicle’s Bluetooth® telephone system
can be used with an appropriate Bluetooth®
equipped mobile telephone.
Note: Some Bluetooth® mobile phones are
better than others at utilising the full potential
of the vehicle’s Bluetooth® system.
Please refer to the Ownership section of the
Jaguar website at www.jaguar.com, for a list
of compatible phones. Alternatively, please
refer to your Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Note: The Bluetooth® equipped phones listed
on Jaguar.com, have been tested for
compatibility with Jaguar vehicles.
Performance will vary based on the phone’s
software version, battery condition, coverage
and your network provider. Phones are
warranted by their manufacturer, not Jaguar.
The Bluetooth® system supports Bluetooth®
Hands Free Profile 1.5 (HFP 1.5). If the mobile
phone paired to the system also supports this
profile, additional features will be available
such as battery meter, signal strength and
network operator. If the mobile phone does not
support these features, they will not be
available on the touch screen. However, you
can refer to the mobile phone's display to
determine these items.

TYRE REPAIR KIT
Tyre repair kit

If you are in any doubt regarding your
ability to carry out the instructions,
contact your Dealer/Approved
Repairer before attempting the repair.
Your vehicle may not be equipped with a spare
tyre. If this is the case, in its place in the rear
underfloor storage compartment, you will find
a tyre repair kit (except where run-flat tyres are
fitted). The tyre repair kit can be used to repair
one tyre and it is essential that you read the
following guide before attempting to repair a
tyre.
The tyre repair kit seals most punctures with a
maximum diameter of 6 mm (1/4 inch).
Note: The sealant used in the tyre repair kit has
a shelf life and the expiry date is shown on the
tyre sealant bottle. Ensure that the container is
replaced before the expiry date.

TYRE REPAIR KIT SAFETY
INFORMATION
Some tyre damage may only be
partially sealed, or may not seal at
all, depending on the amount and type
of damage. Any loss of tyre pressure
can seriously affect vehicle safety.
Do not use the tyre repair kit if the tyre
has been damaged by driving while
under-inflated.
Only use the tyre repair kit to seal
damage located within the tyre tread
area.
Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) when
a repaired tyre is fitted to the vehicle.
The maximum distance that should be
driven when a repaired tyre is fitted, is
200 km (125 miles).

140

When a repaired tyre is fitted, drive
with caution and avoid sudden braking
or steering manoeuvres.
Only use the tyre repair kit for the
vehicle with which it was supplied.
Do not use the tyre repair kit for any
other purpose than tyre repair.
Never leave the tyre repair kit
unattended when in use.
Only use the tyre repair kit within the
-30 °C to +70 °C temperature range.
Always keep children and animals at a
safe distance from the tyre repair kit
when in use.
Do not stand directly beside the
compressor when it is operating.
Check the tyre sidewall prior to
inflation. If any cracks, damage or
deformities are apparent, do not
inflate the tyre.
Watch the tyre sidewall during
inflation. If any cracks, bumps or
similar damage, or deformities
appear, switch off the compressor and
deflate the tyre.

Tyre repair kit
USING THE TYRE REPAIR KIT
Avoid skin contact with the sealant
which contains natural rubber latex.
If the tyre inflation pressure does not
reach 1.8 bar (26 psi, 180 kPa) within
seven minutes, the tyre may have
suffered excessive damage. A
temporary repair will not be possible,
and the vehicle should not be driven
until the tyre has been replaced.
Before attempting a tyre repair, ensure
that the vehicle is parked safely, as far
away from passing traffic as possible.
Ensure that the parking brake is applied
and P (Park) is selected.
Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects such as nails, screws, etc. from
the tyre.
Always run the engine when using the
compressor, unless the vehicle is in an
enclosed or poorly ventilated space, as
this may cause asphyxiation.
To prevent overheating, do not operate
the compressor continuously for longer
than ten minutes.
Note: All vehicle drivers and occupants should
be made aware that a temporary repair has
been made to a tyre fitted to the vehicle. They
should also be made aware of the special
driving conditions imposed when using a
repaired tyre.

REPAIR PROCEDURE
Check the tyre sidewall prior to
inflation. If there are any cracks,
bumps or similar damage, do not
attempt to inflate the tyre. Do not
stand directly beside the tyre while
the compressor is pumping. Watch the
tyre sidewall. If any cracks, bumps or
similar damage appear, turn off the
compressor and let the air out by
means of the pressure relief valve. Do
not continue to use the tyre.
1. Open the tyre repair kit and peel off the
maximum speed label. Attach the label to
the facia in the driver's field of vision. Take
care not to obstruct any of the instruments
or warning lights.
2. Uncoil the compressor power cable and
the inflation hose.
3. Unscrew the orange cap from the sealant
bottle receiver and the sealant bottle cap.
4. Screw the sealant bottle into the receiver
(clockwise) until tight.
• Screwing the bottle onto the receiver
will pierce the bottle's seal. Once the
bottle has been fitted, a ratchet
prevents it from being removed.
5. Remove the valve cap from the damaged
tyre.
6. Remove the protective cap from the
inflation hose and connect the inflation
hose to the tyre valve. Ensure that the hose
is screwed on firmly.
7. Ensure that the compressor switch is in the
off (0) position.
8. Insert the power cable connector into the
auxiliary power socket.
9. Unless the vehicle is in an enclosed area,
start the engine.

Tyre repair kit
10. Set the compressor switch to the on (I)
position.
11. Inflate the tyre to a minimum of 1.9 bar (26
psi) and a maximum of 3.5 bar (51 psi).
• When pumping the sealant through the
tyre valve, the pressure may rise up to
6 bar (87 psi). The pressure will drop
again after approximately 30 seconds.
12. During the inflation, switch the
compressor off briefly, to check the tyre
pressure using the gauge mounted on the
compressor.
• It should not take longer than seven
minutes to inflate the tyre. If, after
seven minutes, the tyre has not yet
reached minimum pressure, the tyre
should not be used.
13. Once the tyre has been inflated, switch off
the compressor. If desired, the engine may
be turned off after the compressor has
been turned off.
14. Remove the power connector from the
auxiliary power socket.
15. Remove the inflation hose from the tyre
valve, by unscrewing it as quickly as
possible (anticlockwise).
16. Replace the inflation hose protective cap
and the tyre valve cap.
17. Ensure that the tyre repair kit (including the
bottle and receiver caps) are placed
securely in the vehicle. You will need to use
the kit to check the tyre pressure after
approximately 3 km (2 miles), so ensure
they are easily accessible.
18. Immediately drive the vehicle for
approximately 3 km (2 miles), to allow the
sealant to coat the inner surface of the tyre
and form a seal at the puncture.

CHECKING THE TYRE PRESSURE
AFTER A REPAIR
When driving the vehicle, if you
experience vibrations, abnormal
steering, or noises, reduce speed
immediately. Drive with extreme
caution and reduced speed, to the first
safe place to stop the vehicle. Visually
examine the tyre and check its
pressure. If there are any signs of
damage or deformity to the tyre, or the
tyre pressure is below 1.3 bar (19
psi), do not continue driving.
Consult a tyre repair centre or your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer, for
advice concerning the replacement of
a tyre after using a tyre repair kit.
1. Drive the vehicle for 3 km (2 miles) then
stop in a safe place. Carry out a visual
examination of the tyre’s condition.
2. Make sure that the sealant container
section is in its original position.
3. Screw the inflation hose connector firmly
onto the tyre valve.
4. Read the tyre pressure from the gauge.
5. If the pressure of the sealant filled tyre is
above 1.3 bar (19 psi) adjust the pressure
to the correct value.
6. Ensure that the compressor switch is in the
Off (O) position and insert the power cable
connector into the auxiliary power socket.
If the vehicle is in a well ventilated area,
start the engine.
7. Switch the compressor to On (I) and inflate
the tyre to the correct pressure.
8. To check the tyre pressure, turn off the
compressor then read the pressure from
the gauge.

Tyre repair kit
9. When the compressor is off, if the tyre
pressure is too high, release the required
amount of pressure using the pressure
release valve.
10. Once the tyre is inflated to the correct
pressure, switch off the compressor and
remove the power plug from the auxiliary
socket.
• The use of the tyre repair kit sealant
may lead to error prompts and
incorrect readings of the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System. Therefore, use the
tyre repair kit pressure gauge to check
and adjust the damaged tyre's inflation
pressure.
11. Unscrew the inflation hose connector from
the tyre valve, replace the tyre valve cap
and the inflation hose connector protective
cap.
12. Ensure that the tyre repair kit is placed
securely in the vehicle.
13. Drive to the nearest tyre repair centre or
Dealer/Authorised Repairer, for a
replacement tyre to be fitted. Ensure that
you make the repair centre aware that the
tyre repair kit has been used before the tyre
is removed.
14. The tyre inflation hose, the receiver and the
sealant bottle must be replaced once a new
tyre has been fitted.
Only sealant bottles which are
completely empty should be
disposed of with normal
household waste. Sealant bottles
which contain some sealant, and
the tyre inflation hose, should be
disposed of by a tyre specialist or
your Dealer/Authorised Repairer
in compliance with local waste
disposal regulations.

Fuel and refuelling
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Fuel and refuelling

Avoid exposing the fuel gasses to any
potential sources of ignition as the
resulting fire and explosion may
cause serious injuries and/or death.
Switch off the engine when refuelling,
as it is both a source of extreme
temperatures, and electrical sparks.
Switch off any personal electronic
devices such as mobile phones, or
music players.

PETROL ENGINED VEHICLES
Do not use leaded fuels, lead
substitutes or fuel additives.
Fuel system cleaning agents should not
be used, unless approved by Jaguar.

Do not use E85 fuels (85% ethanol
content). Equipment necessary for the
use of fuels containing more than 10%
ethanol is not fitted to this vehicle. If
E85 fuels are used, serious engine and
fuel system damage will occur.
Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol (grain
alcohol) may be used. Ensure that the fuel has
octane ratings no lower than those
recommended for unleaded fuel. Most drivers
will not notice any operating difference with
fuel containing ethanol. If a difference is
detected, the use of conventional unleaded fuel
should be resumed.

METHANOL
Wherever possible avoid using fuel
containing methanol.

Note: Occasional, light, engine knock
experienced while accelerating or climbing hills
is acceptable.

Some fuels contain methanol (Methyl or wood
alcohol). If you use fuels containing methanol
the fuels must also contain co-solvents and
corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Also, do not
use fuels which contain more than 10%
methanol even if they contain co-solvents and
corrosion inhibitors. Fuel system damage or
vehicle performance problems resulting from
the use of such fuels is not the responsibility of
Jaguar, and may not be covered under the
warranty.

Super Green Plus 98 RON unleaded fuel (where
available) may be used as an alternative to the
standard 95 RON unleaded fuel.

METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER
(MTBE)

Some countries have only 91 RON fuel
available. Vehicles sold in these countries are
specially calibrated to use this fuel.

Unleaded fuel containing an oxygenate known
as MTBE can be used provided that the ratio of
MTBE to conventional fuel does not exceed
15%. MTBE is an Ether based compound
derived from Petroleum, which has been
specified by several refiners as the substance
to enhance the Octane rating of fuel.

OCTANE RATING
The minimum octane rating for fuel used is 95
RON (Research Octane Number). The vehicle
will run on lower ratings, but it may cause
pronounced engine knock or pinking. If the
pinking is severe it can cause damage to the
engine, fuel and emission control systems.

ETHANOL
This vehicle is not suitable for use with
fuels containing more than 10%
ethanol.

L
Fuel and refuelling
DIESEL ENGINED VEHICLES
Do not use RME (bio-diesel) except in
the case of those proprietary diesel
fuels which contain a mix of up to 7%.
Jaguar can accept no responsibility for
damage caused by using RME in
concentrations greater than 7%.
Use only high quality diesel fuel according to
EN590 or equivalent.
The quality of diesel fuel is variable, depending
on geographic location. Always use premium
or the highest quality fuel available in your
locality. High quality fuel ensures a longer life
for your engine components. Lower grade fuel
contains higher levels of sulphur, which is
detrimental to engine components. If low
quality fuel is used, light coloured smoke may
be evident at the exhaust.
Note: Jaguar vehicles are capable of running
with up to a 7% blend of bio-diesel, in
accordance with European Standard EN590.
Prolonged use of additives is not
recommended. Do not add paraffin or petrol to
diesel fuels.
If you inadvertently fill your vehicle with
petrol instead of diesel, do not attempt
to start the engine. Contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer immediately.
Jaguar cars can accept no
responsibility for any damage caused
by running your vehicle with petrol or
vegetable oil in the fuel tank.

SULPHUR CONTENT
If the vehicle is fitted with a Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF), the maximum
Sulphur content must not exceed
0.005%. Using an incorrect fuel will
cause serious damage to the DPF.

146

In some countries diesel may contain higher
levels of Sulphur, which could cause damage
to the vehicle, if in doubt contact a local
Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Avoid running out of fuel!
If the vehicle does run out of fuel, a minimum
of 4 litres (0.9 gallons) will be required to
restart the engine. The vehicle should be left
with the ignition on for 5 minutes after
refuelling before attempting to restart the
engine.
Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel,
seeking qualified assistance is advisable.

WATER IN FUEL
If the warning WATER IN FUEL is
displayed in the message centre, an
excessive amount of water has
collected in the fuel filter bowl. Seek
assistance from a Jaguar Dealer/
Authorised Repairer to have the filter
drained as soon as possible

DIESEL ENGINES
Vehicles with diesel engines are equipped with
a system to prevent the fuel tank from
emptying completely. When the fuel reaches a
minimum level, the system will activate a
reduced power mode (i.e. the engine will not
run properly). This will be followed by the
engine stopping in approximately 1.6 km (1
mile).

LANGUAGE: english-en; MARQUE: jaguar; MODEL: XJ

R
Fuel and refuelling
This feature prevents the fuel system from
running dry, which could cause damage to the
vehicle. If the gauge indicates low fuel or the
warning indicator illuminates, the fuel tank
should be refuelled as soon as possible at the
next filling station with at least 4 litres (0.9
gallons) of fuel.
If the system protection function has activated,
the vehicle must firstly be refuelled, then
restarted using the following procedure:
1. With the brake pedal pressed, press and
hold the engine START/STOP button and
crank the engine for five seconds.
2. Release the START/STOP button.
3. With the brake pedal pressed, press and
release the START/STOP button to crank
the engine. The engine should start within
approximately five seconds.
Note: If the engine does not start, pause for ten
seconds with the ignition in convenience mode
before repeating the procedure from the
beginning.
Do not crank the engine for longer than
30 seconds continuously.

FUEL FILLER
When refuelling ensure that all
windows, doors, and sunroof are fully
closed, particularly if young children
or animals are in the vehicle.
Do not attempt to fill the tank to its
maximum capacity. If the vehicle is to
be parked on a slope, in direct
sunlight or high ambient temperature,
expansion of the fuel could cause
spillage.
Check the fuel pump information
carefully to ensure that you are putting
the correct fuel into the vehicle.
If the vehicle is filled with incorrect fuel,
it is essential that you seek qualified
assistance before you start the engine.
Fuel station pumps are equipped with
automatic cut-off sensing to avoid fuel spillage.
Fill the tank until the filler nozzle automatically
cuts off the supply and do not attempt to fill the
tank beyond this point.

The vehicle must be unlocked using the Smart
Key before the filler flap can be opened.

Note: Filling station pumps used for diesel
commercial vehicles deliver fuel at a higher
rate than normal. The higher fill rate can cause
premature cut-off and may cause fuel spillage.
Therefore, it is recommended that only
standard light vehicle pumps are used.

To open the fuel filler flap, press and release
the rear of the flap to unlatch and then pull the
flap open.

DIESEL MISFUELLING PROTECTION
DEVICE

FUEL FILLER FLAP

To close the filler flap, push the flap until

URBAN CYCLE
The urban test cycle is carried out from a cold
start and consists of a series of accelerations,
decelerations and periods of steady speed
driving and engine idling. The maximum speed
attained during the test is 50 km/h (30 mph)
with an average speed of 19 km/h (12 mph).

EXTRA-URBAN CYCLE
The extra-urban test cycle is carried out
immediately after the urban test.
Approximately half of the test comprises
steady-speed driving, while the remainder
consists of a series of accelerations,
decelerations and engine idling. The maximum
test speed is 120 km/h (75 mph) and the
average speed 63 km/h (39 mph). The test is
carried out over a distance of 7 km (4.3 miles).

COMBINED
The combined figure is an average of the urban
and extra-urban test cycle results, which has
been weighted to take account of the different
distances covered during the two tests.

DISABILITY MODIFICATIONS
Maintenance

ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM

Occupants with disabilities which may require
modification of the vehicle, must contact a
Dealer/Authorised Repairer before any
modifications are made.

PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

No modifications or additions should
be made to the anti-theft system. Such
changes could cause the system to
malfunction.

OWNER MAINTENANCE

Do not fit non-approved parts and
accessories or carry out non-approved
alterations or conversions.
Your vehicle is not designed for use
with a roof rack. Do not fit a roof rack to
the vehicle, as damage may result.

AIRBAG SYSTEM
The components that make up the
airbag system are sensitive to
electrical or physical interference,
either of which could easily damage
the system and cause inadvertent
operation or a malfunction of the
airbag module.
To prevent malfunction of the airbag system
always consult your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer before fitting any of the following:
• Electronic equipment such as a mobile
phone, two-way radio or in-car
entertainment system.
• Accessories attached to the front of the
vehicle.
• Any modification to the front of the vehicle.
• Any modification involving the removal or
repair of any wiring or component in the
vicinity of any of the airbag system
components, including the steering wheel,
steering column, instrument or facia
panels.
• Any modification to the fascia panels or
steering wheel.

Any significant or sudden drop in fluid
levels, or uneven tyre wear, should be
reported to a qualified technician
without delay.
In addition to the routine services and
inspections, a number of simple checks must
be carried out more frequently. These checks
can be carried out by the owner and advice is
given on the pages that follow.

DAILY CHECKS
•

•
•

Operation of lamps, horn, direction
indicators, wipers, washers and warning
indicators.
Operation of seat belts and brakes.
Look for fluid deposits underneath the
vehicle that might indicate a leak.
Condensation drips from the air
conditioning are normal.

WEEKLY CHECKS
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Engine oil level.
Engine coolant level.
Brake fluid level.

Maintenance
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
Diesel vehicles equipped with a particulate filter
have more efficient emission control. The
particles in the exhaust gases are collected in
the filter during normal driving.
When a DPF message is displayed, the filter
requires a regeneration cycle to clean itself.
This requires the engine to have reached
normal operating temperature. Regeneration
takes place automatically at an interval of
approximately 300-900 km (190-560 miles)
depending on driving conditions.

REGENERATION PROCEDURE
The regeneration procedure produces
high temperatures in the DPF. Heat can
be felt radiating from beneath the
vehicle, which is normal. The heat
generated could be sufficient to start a
fire when in close proximity to
combustible material such as long dry
grass, paper etc.
Regeneration normally takes 10-20 minutes
and is best achieved if the vehicle is driven
steadily at speeds between 60 km/h (40 mph)
and 112 km/h (70 mph).
Regeneration may take longer if the average
speed is reduced to 50 km/h (30 mph).

DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES OR IN
COLD WEATHER
In these conditions the engine may not reach
normal operating temperature. Regeneration of
the diesel particle filter will not take place and
the filter will not be cleaned. If the filter requires
regeneration but current driving style is not
appropriate to perform it, a warning triangle
will illuminate on the instrument panel and the
message DPF Full. See manual, will be
displayed. This does not indicate a fault
condition. Start regeneration by driving the
vehicle, preferably on a main road or
motorway. The vehicle should be driven for
approximately 20 minutes more.
When regeneration is complete, the warnings
will clear.

ARDUOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS
If the vehicle is frequently driven short
distances in cold weather then the engine may
not reach normal operating temperature. This
means that regeneration of the diesel particle
filter does not take place and the filter is not
cleaned. When the filter reaches approximately
80% capacity, a warning triangle on the
instrument panel illuminates, and the message
DPF FULL SEE HANDBOOK is displayed on the
instrument panel. Start regeneration of the
filter by driving the vehicle, preferably on a
main road or motorway. The vehicle should
then be driven for approximately 20 minutes
more. Where possible the parking heater
should be used in cold weather so that the
engine reaches normal operating temperature
more quickly.
When regeneration is complete the warning
text is cleared automatically.
Note: A small reduction in engine power, and
increase in fuel consumption may be noticed
temporarily during regeneration.

Maintenance
LEATHER
To prevent ingrained dirt and staining, inspect
the seat upholstery regularly and clean every
one to two months, as follows:
• Wipe off fine dust from the seat surfaces
using a clean, damp, non-coloured cloth.
Change frequently to a clean area of cloth,
to avoid abrasive action on the leather
surface. Avoid over-wetting.
• If this is not sufficient, use a cloth which
has been dampened with warm soapy
water and then wrung out. Use only mild
non-caustic soap.
• Use Jaguar Leather Cleaner for heavily
soiled areas. Dry off and rub with a clean
soft cloth, changing surfaces regularly.
Use Jaguar Leather Cleaner several times a
year to maintain its appearance and
suppleness. The cleaner will nourish and
moisturise and help to improve the surface
protective film against dust and substances.
• Do not use solvents. Do not use
detergents, furniture polish or household
cleaners. While these products may
initially give impressive results, their use
will lead to rapid deterioration of the leather
and will invalidate the warranty. Jaguar
recommend a basic set of products that
have been specially selected for the type of
leather in your vehicle.
• Dark clothing may stain leather seats just
like other upholstery products.
• Sharp objects such as belts, zip fasteners,
rivets, etc., can leave permanent scratches
and scratch marks on the leather surface.
• Unless spillages such as tea, coffee or ink
are washed away immediately, permanent
staining may have to be accepted.

CLOTH AND FABRIC
Never use soap, ammonia, bleach or
other cleaners intended for use on hard
surfaces.
Do not use upholstery cleaner on
electrical equipment such as facia
switches.
When cleaning around electrical
equipment such as switches, ensure
that fluids do not leak into any gaps
around the components or between
panels or trim.
Use Jaguar Upholstery Cleaner, following the
instructions. Avoid over-wetting.

REMOVING STAINS
Most stains on woollen fabric can be removed
if treatment is carried out immediately, before
the stain has a chance to dry-in.
Most stains can be treated with one of three
cleaning fluids: Jaguar Upholstery Cleaner, dry
cleaning fluid or clean water. Follow the
instructions on the package.

INSTRUMENT PANEL, CLOCK AND
AUDIO EQUIPMENT
Only use a soft dry cloth to clean the
instrument panel, clock and audio equipment.
Do not use cleaning fluids or sprays.

TOUCH SCREEN
Do not use abrasive cleaners on the
touch screen. For approved cleaning
products, contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.

soon as it is safe to do so and seek
qualified assistance. Do not start the
engine until the cause has been
rectified.
Prior to checking the oil level ensure that the
vehicle is on level ground.
All except V6 petrol engines
• The engine oil has reached working
temperature (oil is hot).
• The engine has been switched off for ten
minutes, as the system will not give an
accurate reading until the oil level has
stabilised.
The oil level can then be checked as follows:
1. Switch on the ignition (do not start the
engine).
2. Ensure Park (P) is selected.
3. Select the Service menu using the
instrument panel menu joypad control (see
53, INTERACTIVE CONTROLS).
Select Oil level display from the Service
menu. The current oil level status and
topping-up advice is displayed in the
instrument panel, top-up as instructed.

An indication of the oil level is displayed in the
gauge. Messages to the right of the gauge
advise you of any action you may need to take.
If the oil level is within the required operating
range, the message Engine Oil Level OK will
be displayed. Do not add any additional oil to
the engine.
If the oil level is below the required operating
range, a message advising you how much oil to
add will be displayed (e.g. Add 0.5 Litre). Add
the recommended quantity of oil.
If the message Engine Oil Level Overfilled is
displayed, seek qualified assistance
immediately. Do not drive the vehicle as this
will cause serious damage to the engine.
If the message Engine Oil Level Underfilled is
displayed, add 1.5 litres (2.6 pints) of oil, then
recheck the level.
If the message Engine Oil Level Not Available
is displayed, the oil level is stabilising. Switch
off the ignition, wait 10 minutes, then recheck
the oil level display.
If the warning message ENGINE OIL LEVEL
MONITOR SYSTEM FAULT is displayed, seek
qualified assistance.

Fluid level checks
Do not use oil additives of any type as
engine damage could occur. Use only
specified lubricants.

1. Withdraw the dipstick and wipe the blade
clean with a lint free cloth.
2. Fully re-insert the dipstick and withdraw
again to check the oil level. Never allow the
oil level to fall below the lower mark or
notch on the dipstick.
As a general guide, if the level on the
dipstick:
• Is nearer to the upper mark or notch
than the lower, add no oil.
• Is nearer to the lower mark or notch
than the upper, add half a litre (one
pint) of oil.
• Is below the lower mark or notch, add
one litre (two pints) of oil and re-check
the level after a further five minutes.

ENGINE OIL SPECIFICATION
Low quality or obsolete oils do not
provide the protection required by
modern, high performance engines.
Failure to use an oil that meets the
required specification could cause
excessive engine wear, a build up of
sludge and deposits and increased
pollution. It could also lead to engine
failure.
Your vehicle’s warranty may be
invalidated if damage is caused by the
use of unapproved engine oil.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
A certain amount of oil consumption is normal.
The rate of consumption will depend on the
following:
• The quality and viscosity of the oil.
• Climatic conditions.
• The speed at which the engine is being
operated.
• Road conditions.
Drivers should expect above normal
consumption when the engine is new, and after
running-in if high speeds are sustained.

Fluid level checks
CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVEL
Running the engine without coolant will
cause serious engine damage.
If persistent coolant loss is noticed,
seek qualified assistance immediately.
The coolant level in the expansion tank should
be checked at least weekly (more frequently in
high mileage or severe operating conditions).
Always check the level when the system is
cold.
Ensure the coolant level is maintained between
the level indicator marks, as shown in the
illustrations.

If the message LOW COOLANT LEVEL is
displayed in the message centre, stop the
vehicle as soon as safety permits and top-up
the coolant reservoir with the recommended
antifreeze/water mix.
If the message centre displays the message
ENGINE OVERHEATING, pull off the
carriageway and allow the engine to idle for five
minutes and then switch off the ignition for ten
minutes. Switch on the engine and, provided
that the warning does not occur, continue your
journey, avoiding harsh acceleration. Seek
qualified assistance as soon as possible.

TOPPING UP THE COOLANT
Never remove the filler cap when the
engine is hot.
Antifreeze is highly inflammable. Do
not allow antifreeze to come into
contact with naked flames or other
sources of ignition (e.g. a hot engine)
- a fire may result.

Unscrew the filler cap slowly,
allowing the pressure to escape
before removing completely.
When travelling in territories where the
water supply contains salt, always
ensure you carry a supply of fresh (rain
or distilled) water. Topping up with salt
water will cause serious engine
damage.
Top-up to the upper level indicator mark

not allow brake fluid to come into
contact with naked flames or other
sources of ignition (e.g. a hot engine).
Do not drive the vehicle with the fluid
level below the MIN mark.
With the vehicle on level ground, check the
fluid level at least every week (more frequently
in high mileage or arduous operating
conditions).
The brake fluid reservoir is located beneath a
cover on the raised platform to the rear of the
main underbonnet area.

If the quantity of fluid in the brake
reservoir drops below the
recommended level, a red warning
lamp in the instrument panel will
illuminate and the message Brake
Fluid Low will be displayed in the
message centre.
Note: If the warning lamp illuminates or the
message is displayed while the vehicle is being
driven, stop the vehicle as soon as safety
permits by gently applying the brakes. Check
and top-up the fluid level if necessary.
Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep
containers sealed and out of the reach
of children. If accidental consumption
is suspected, seek medical attention
immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.

1. Remove the cover:
A. (Left-hand drive) Release the catch
and lift the cover forwards, then pull
rearwards, to release the hinges.
B. (Right hand drive) Undo the four
turn-buckles and remove the cover.
2. Clean the filler cap with a clean, dry cloth

Fluid level checks
4. The brake fluid level should be between the
MIN and the MAX marks on the side of the
reservoir.

If the fluid comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.

The fluid level may drop slightly during normal
use, as a result of brake pad wear, but should
not be allowed to drop below the MIN mark.

Power steering fluid is highly
inflammable. Do not allow power
steering fluid to come into contact
with naked flames or other sources of
ignition (e.g. a hot engine).

TOPPING UP THE BRAKE/CLUTCH
FLUID
Brake fluid will damage painted surface.
Soak up any spillage with an absorbent
cloth immediately and wash the area
with a mixture of car shampoo and
water.
Only use new fluid from an airtight
container (fluid from open containers or
fluid previously bled from the system,
will have absorbed moisture, which will
adversely affect performance, and must
not be used).

The engine must not be started if the
fluid level has dropped below the MIN
mark.
Seek qualified assistance immediately if
there is a noticeable drop in the fluid
level.
If fluid loss is slow, the reservoir may
be topped-up to the upper level mark to
enable the vehicle to be driven to a
repair facility for examination. However,
it is recommended that you seek
qualified assistance before driving the
vehicle.

1. Top up the reservoir to at least the
MINIMUM mark using Shell DOT ESL
brake fluid. If unavailable, use a low
viscosity brake fluid that meets ISO 4925
class 6 specification. Only fluid of this type
and standard may be used.

Check and top-up the fluid with the vehicle on
level ground, with the engine switched off and
the system cold. Ensure that the steering wheel
is not turned after stopping the engine.

Do not top up the brake fluid to the
maximum mark unless the brake
pads have been replaced. If unsure
seek qualified assistance.

The fluid level should be between the MIN and
the MAX marks.

2. Replace the cap.
3. Refit the reservoir cover.

POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK
Power steering fluid is highly toxic.
Keep containers sealed and out of
reach of children. If accidental
consumption of fluid is suspected,
seek medical attention immediately.

The level of fluid can be seen through the
translucent body of the reservoir.

TOPPING UP THE POWER STEERING
FLUID
It is imperative that the power steering
system does not become contaminated
in any way. Always use new fluid and
clean the area around the filler neck
both before removing the filler cap and
after topping up. Never return drained
fluid to the system.

or sources of ignition.
If the vehicle is operated in
temperatures below 4°C (40°F), use a
washer fluid with frost protection.
Only use approved washer fluid.
Take care to avoid spillage, particularly
if an undiluted or high concentration is
being used. If spillage occurs, wash the
affected area immediately with water.
The washer reservoir supplies the windscreen
and headlamp washer jets.
Check and top-up the reservoir level at least
every week.
Fill with Jaguar Windscreen Washer Fluid,
diluted with clean water, as specified in the
instructions on the bottle. Using a
non-approved fluid may adversely affect the
wiper blade rubber, resulting in ineffectual and
noisy wiping.
Operate the washers periodically to check that
the nozzles are clear and properly directed.

BATTERY MONITORING SYSTEM
(BMS)
If excessive battery discharge is occurring
when the engine isn't running, the system will
shut down non-essential electrical systems to
protect battery power.

CONNECTING BOOSTER CABLES
1. Connect the positive booster cable to the
positive terminal on the donor vehicle's
battery.
2. Connect the other end of the positive
booster cable to the positive terminal on
the disabled vehicle's battery.
3. Connect the negative booster cable to the
recommended jump starting earth point of
the donor vehicle.
4. Connect the other end of the negative
booster cable to a chassis stud. Two are
available on the left-hand side at the rear of
the load space opposite the battery.
Check that all cables are clear of any
moving components and that all
four connections are secure.
Note: If repeated attempts to start the
disabled vehicle are needed, allow the
donor vehicle to idle for a few minutes
between attempts.
5. Start the engine of the donor vehicle, and
allow it to idle for a few minutes.
6. Start the engine of the disabled vehicle.
Note: If repeated attempts to start the
disabled vehicle are needed, allow the
donor vehicle to idle for a few minutes
between attempts.
7. Allow both vehicles to idle for two minutes.
8. Switch off the donor vehicle.

DISCONNECTING THE BOOSTER
CABLES
To avoid serious injury use extreme
caution when removing the booster
cables as the engine will be running
on the previously disabled vehicle.
This means that you may be working
close to components which are
moving at high speed, carry high
voltage, or may be hot.
Note: Do not switch on any electrical
equipment until after the cables have been
disconnected.
The engine should be running on the
previously disabled vehicle and the engine
switched off on the donor vehicle. Disconnect
the booster cables in the exact reverse order of
that used for connection.

Tyres
TYRE CARE
Tyres

CHECKING THE TYRE PRESSURES

Do not drive the vehicle if a tyre is
damaged, excessively worn, or
incorrectly inflated.
Avoid contaminating the tyres with
vehicle fluids as they may cause
damage to the tyre.
Avoid spinning the wheels. The forces
released can damage the structure of
the tyre and cause it to fail.
If wheel spin is unavoidable due to a
loss of traction (in deep snow, for
example), do not exceed 50 km/h (30
mph).
Do not exceed the maximum pressure
stated on the sidewall of the tyre.

TYRE PRESSURES
Never drive your vehicle if the tyre
pressures are incorrect.
Pressure checks should only be
carried out when the tyres are cold,
and the vehicle has been stationary
for more than three hours. A hot tyre at
or below recommended cold inflation
pressure is dangerously
under-inflated.
If the vehicle has been parked in
strong sunlight, or used in high
ambient temperatures, do not reduce
the tyre pressures. Move the vehicle
into the shade and allow the tyres to
cool before re-checking the
pressures.

176

The recommended tyre pressures are listed on
a label located in the driver’s door opening.
Check the tyres, including the spare, for
condition and pressure on a weekly basis and
before long journeys.
If tyre pressures are checked while the vehicle
is inside a protected covered area (e.g. a
garage) and subsequently driven in lower
outdoor temperatures, tyre under-inflation
could occur.
A slight pressure loss occurs naturally with
time. If this exceeds 0.14 bar (2 psi, 14 kPa,)
per week, have the cause investigated and
rectified by qualified assistance.
If it is necessary to check tyre pressures when
the tyres are warm, you should expect the
pressures to have increased by up to 0.3 - 0.4
bar (4 - 6 psi, 30 - 40 kpa). Do not reduce the
tyre pressures to the cold inflation pressure
under these circumstances. Allow the tyres to
cool fully before adjusting the pressures.

(FM8) SEMCON JLR OWNER GUIDE VER 1.00 EURO
LANGUAGE: english-en; MARQUE: jaguar; MODEL: XJ

R
Tyres
TYRE VALVES
Keep the valve caps screwed down firmly to
prevent water or dirt entering the valve. Check
the valves for leaks when checking the tyre
pressures.

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 replaced 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 tyre placard label.

PRESSURE COMPENSATION FOR
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE CHANGE
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 (2psi, 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 flat 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 environmental 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 approved winter tyres.
Winter tyres must be fitted to all four wheels.

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 availability of approved snow
chains.
The maximum speed when using snow chains
is 50 km/h (30 mph).
Note: When using snow chains, select
JaguarDrive Control 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.

CHANGING A FUSE
Always turn off the ignition system and
the affected electrical circuit, before
replacing a fuse.
Fit Jaguar approved replacement fuses
of the same rating and type, or fuses of
matching specification.
If the replacement fuse blows after
installation, the system should be
checked by your Dealer/Authorised

WHEEL CHANGING SAFETY
Wheel changing

Before raising the vehicle, or changing a wheel
ensure that you read, and comply with the
following warnings.
Always find a safe place to stop, off
the highway and away from traffic.
Ensure that the vehicle and jack are
both on firm level ground.
Apply the parking brake, and engage
Park (P).
Switch on the hazard warning lamps.
Ensure that the front wheels are in the
straight ahead position, and engage
the steering lock.
Ensure that all passengers, and
animals, are out of the vehicle and in
a safe place away from the highway.
Place a warning triangle at a suitable
distance behind the vehicle, facing
towards oncoming traffic.
When one rear wheel is lifted off the
ground the selection P (Park) position
will not prevent the vehicle from
moving and possibly slipping off the
jack as the park brake only operates
on the rear wheels. Use the wheel
chock when jacking the vehicle.
Always chock the wheel diagonally
opposite the wheel to be changed,
using the wheel chock supplied in the
tool kit. Chock the front of a front
wheel, or the rear of a rear wheel.

Do not attempt to raise the vehicle
unless the jack head is fully engaged
in the jacking point. Only jack the
vehicle using the approved jacking
points.
Remove the spare wheel prior to
jacking the vehicle, to avoid
destabilising the vehicle when raised.
Take care when lifting the spare
wheel, and removing the punctured
wheel. The wheels are heavy, and can
cause injuries if not handled correctly.
Do not start or run the engine while the
vehicle is supported only by a jack.
Do not get under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
Take care when loosening the wheel
nuts. The wheel brace may slip off if
not properly attached, and the wheel
nuts may release suddenly. Either
unexpected movement may cause an
injury.
After use, the tool kit should be
returned to the under floor storage
area and correctly stowed.
Always ensure replacement tyres
have the correct rating and
specifications (e.g. load index, size,
speed rating) for your vehicle.

If jacking the vehicle on a slight slope
is unavoidable, place chocks on the
downhill side of the two opposite
wheels. An additional chock will be
needed.
Never place anything between the jack
and the ground, or the jack and the
vehicle.

WHEEL CHANGING

Before raising the vehicle slacken but do not
remove the wheel nuts.

2. Wheel brace.

1. Observe the instructions printed on the
jack.

4. Locking wheel nut adaptor.

There are four jacking points on the
underside of the floor. Two indented,
triangular indicators are provided on each
sill cover. These indicate the location for
the jack.
Carefully raise the vehicle by turning the
jack handle. Stop jacking the vehicle when
the tyre just clears the ground. Minimum
tyre lift gives maximum vehicle stability.
Note: To remove the centre badge use the
plastic tipped end of the wheel nut wrench
handle, push the centre badge from its
housing from the inside of the wheel.
To remove the spare wheel, unscrew and
remove the bolt through the centre.
Fit the spare wheel and loosely secure with
the wheel nuts.

5. Towing eye.
6. Wheel chock.

TEMPORARY USE SPARE WHEEL
Observe the following warnings before using
the wheel:
Always adhere to the instructions
given on the temporary use spare
wheel warning label. Failure to
comply can be dangerous.
When a temporary use spare wheel is
fitted, drive with caution and replace
with the specified wheel and tyre as
soon as possible.
Do not fit more than one temporary
use spare wheel and tyre assembly at
one time.

Wheel changing
The temporary use spare wheel must
be inflated to 4.2 bar (60 psi, 420 kPa)
and cannot be repaired.
Temporary use spare wheel,
maximum speed is 80 km/h (50 mph).
DSC must be on when the temporary
use spare wheel is in use.

LOCKING WHEEL NUTS
Note: A code number is stamped on the side of
the locking nut. Ensure the number is recorded
on the Security Card supplied with the
literature pack. Quote this number if a
replacement is required. Do not keep the
Security Card in the vehicle.

TIGHTENING THE WHEEL NUTS

Using the wheel nut wrench, lightly tighten the
wheel nuts alternately using the sequence
shown in the illustration.
Lower the jack, then tighten the wheel nuts
fully, in the same sequence shown. Do not
overtighten by using foot pressure or extension
bars on the wheel nut wrench.
At the earliest opportunity have the wheel nuts
tightened with a torque wrench to 125 Nm (92
lb.ft).
This torque must not be exceeded.

Vehicle recovery
FRONT TOWING EYE
Vehicle recovery

The towing eye at the front of the
vehicle is designed for on-road
recovery only.
Do not tow the vehicle on all four
wheels.

ATTACHING THE FRONT TOWING
EYE
The towing eye is included in the tool kit,
located in the under-floor area of the luggage
compartment.
1. Pop out the cover in the front bumper.
2. Locate the towing eye through the bumper
and screw the towing eye anticlockwise
into its fixing, until secure.

TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
Only use the lashing points indicated, or
over-wheel lashings or wheel chocks.
Lashing over the body or suspension is
not permissible as settling of the air
suspension will cause lashing straps to
slacken.
The recommended method for recovery/
transportation of the vehicle, is on a
transporter or trailer designed for that purpose.
Ensure that transportation is carried out by
suitably qualified persons, and that the vehicle
is secured correctly.

After a collision
BEFORE STARTING OR DRIVING
After a collision

If the vehicle is involved in a collision
it should be checked by a Dealer/
Authorised repairer, or suitably
qualified personnel, before starting or
driving.

PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION SYSTEM
The bumper includes sensors that detect a
collision with a pedestrian and includes energy
absorbing foam and plastics in its
construction, to reduce leg injuries.
During a pedestrian collision, the sensors
initiate a bonnet deployment system that
releases the bonnet hinge system and raises
the rear edge of the bonnet by approximately
130 mm (5.1 inches).
This increases the gap between the bonnet and
the components within the engine
compartment to create a cushion to mitigate
injury caused to the pedestrian.
The bonnet deployment system is active only
when the ignition is on and the vehicle is driven
between the speeds of approximately 20 km/h
(12 mph) and 45 km/h (28 mph).

AFTER DEPLOYMENT OF THE
PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION SYSTEM
Do not attempt to open the bonnet if the
pedestrian protection system has been
deployed.
The vehicle must be stopped as soon as it is
safe to do so.

A warning message CHECK PEDESTRIAN
SYSTEM will appear on the message centre
and the vehicle should be transported to the
nearest Dealer/Authorised Repairer. The
vehicle must not be driven when the bonnet
has been deployed.
Note: If the warning message CHECK
PEDESTRIAN SYSTEM appears in the message
centre when the bonnet has not been deployed,
the vehicle should be taken to the nearest
Dealer/Authorised Repairer immediately. It can
be driven.
If any significant damage occurs to the front
bumper it should be inspected by a
Dealer/Authorised Repairer as soon as
possible.

EVENT DATA RECORDING
Event data recorders are capable of collecting
and storing data during a crash or near-crash
event. The recorded information may assist in
the investigation of such an event. The
modules may record information about both
the vehicle and the occupants, potentially
including such information as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were
operating.
• Whether or not the driver and passenger
seat belts were buckled.
• How far, if at all, the driver was pressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
• How fast the vehicle was travelling.
• Where the driver was positioning the
steering wheel.

The hazard warning lamps will be activated and
can only be switched off by pressing the engine
START/STOP button to turn the engine off and
on again.
