Raising the rear seats
The process for raising the rear seat is the
reverse of folding.
HEATED SEATS
Note: To prevent the battery from becoming
discharged the seat heaters will only operate
when the engine is running.
Seat heating is adjusted through the vehicle
touch-screen (from either the Climate or the
Home menu). The seat heaters have three
temperature levels, indica ted by the three bars
adjacent to each seat icon.
• Touch the left or right -hand seat icon (as
appropriate) to activate the seat heater,
which initially selects the maximum
temperature level (three bars).
• Touch the icon a second time to select the
medium temperature setting (two bars).
• Touch the icon a third time to select the
lowest temperature setting (one bar).
• Touch the icon again to switch off the seat
heaters.
WARNINGS
Ensure that when the seat back is
raised, the seat belts are routed
correctly and are not trapped by the
seat back.
Ensure that when the seat back is
raised, the locking mechanism is fully
engaged. Failure to do so can
increase the risk of death or serious injury in
the event of an accident or sudden manoeuvre
or heavy braking.
Before driving, ensure that the head
restraints are correctly fitted to the
rear seats.

WARNINGS
High speed impacts may cause
serious injury or de ath irrespective of
safety features fitted to a vehicle.
Always drive with caut ion and consideration
for the vehicle's characteristics, road and
weather conditions.
The airbag cannot provide protection
in some types of impact, therefore
seat belts s hould be worn at all times
by the driver and passengers in all seating
positions.
WARNINGS
Airbags inflate at high speeds, and
can cause injuries. To minimise the
risk of injury, ensure that all vehicle
occupants wear correct ly positioned seat
belts, sit correctly in the seats, and position
the seats as far back as practical.
Sitting centrally and correctly in each
seating position helps ensure that a
gap is maintained between the side of
the vehicle and the head and torso. This will
aid inflation of the curtain and seat-mounted
airbags.
Airbag inflation takes place
instantaneously. Not all airbags are
designed to protect against the
effects of se condary impacts. During
secondary impact, a leve l of protection may be
provided by a correctly worn seat belt.

Side and curtain airbags
To ensure that the side and curtain airbags are
fully effective:
Side and curtain airbags are designed to offer
increased protection for the torso and head in
a side impact. The curtain airbags may deflate
at a slower rate than the front or side airbags,
to afford prolonged protection.
Airbag deployment effects
WARNINGS
Do not allow passe ngers to 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. Airbags deploy at very high
speeds and can cause se rious injury or death
if objects or occupants are within the area of
deployment.
Do not sit too close to, lean or
sleep against the door trim. The
side and curtain airbags could
injure you as they deploy.
Do not lean out of the window.
Only use approved accessories (e.g.
seat covers).
Due to the function of the curtain
airbag deployment, consult your
Jaguar Dealer/Autho rised Repairer,
prior to installing any accessories in the upper
environment/pillar trim area (e.g. hands-free
telephone kits).
WARNINGS
When an airbag inflates, a by-product
of the gas generation may be released
as small particles. It is possible that
this may cause irritation and should be
thoroughly flushed from th e eyes and any cuts
or abrasions.
After inflation, some airbag
components are at high
temperatures. To prevent injury, do
no touch the airbag components until they
have cooled.
In order to react with sufficient speed,
airbags are deployed by a pyrotechnic
device. Consequently, airbag
deployment is accomp anied by a very loud
noise which may caus e discomfort and
temporary loss of hearing.

AIRBAG WARNING LAMP
The airbag warning indicator is
mounted in the instrument pack,
and will illuminate as a bulb check
when the starter switch is turned on.
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 starter switch is initially turned
on.
• The warning indicator fails to extinguish
within six seconds of the starter switch
being turned on.
• The warning indicator illuminates at any
time other than the bulb check, when the
starter switch is on.
WHIPLASH PROTECTION
Both front seats are equi pped with Active Head
Restraints (AHR), which reduce the risk of neck
and spinal injury (whiplash) in the event of a
rear impact.
When activated, the head restraint moves
upwards and forwards, supporting the
occupant's head.
After activation, the whiplash protection
mechanism automatically resets and does not
need to be replaced.
WARNING
If the warning indica tor signals that a
fault is present in the system, do not
use a child restraint on the front
passenger seat. Doing so will increase the risk
of death or serious injury to the child.

CHILD SEAT ANCHOR POINTS
ISOFIX anchor points (not Australia)
Both of the outer rear seat positions are
equipped to accept ISOFIX restraints.
This symbol is shown on a label
sewn into the seats to indicate the
position of the ISOFIX lower
anchorages.
Note: The information contained in the
following table may not be applicable to all
countries. If you are in any doubt regarding the
type and fitment of child seats seek advice from
your Jaguar Dealer/A uthorised Repairer.
WARNINGS
Do not attempt to fit ISOFIX restraints
to the centre rear seating position.
The anchor bars are not designed to
hold an ISOFIX restraint in this position.
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.
Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only 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 removing a head restraint in order
to fit a child restraint, always secure
the head restraint when storing it. If
left loose in the vehicle, it may cause death or
serious injury during sudden braking or an
impact.

Pedestrian protection
66

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The pedestrian protection system has been
designed to reduce lower leg and head injuries
in the event of a frontal collision with a
pedestrian.
The bumper includes energy absorbing foam
and plastics in its cons truction to reduce leg
injuries and sensors th at detect the collision
with a pedestrian.
Deployment
During a pedestrian co llision, the sensors
initiate a bonnet deploy ment 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 e.g. engine, suspension etc. This
increased gap creates 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
The vehicle must be stopped as soon as it is
safe to do so.
The hazard warning lamp s will be activated and
can only be switched off by pressing the engine
START/STOP button to turn the engine off and
on again.
A warning message CHECK PEDESTRIAN
SYSTEM will appear on the message centre
and the vehicle should be transported to the
nearest Dealer/Author ised Repairer. The
vehicle must not be driven when the bonnet
has been deployed. See Vehicle recovery
(page 253).
Note: If the warning message CHECK
PEDESTRIAN SYSTEM appears in the message
centre when the bonnet ha s 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.
E94698
CAUTION
Do not attempt to open the bonnet if the
pedestrian protection system has been
deployed.
