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.

Supplementary restraints system

Note: The general location of airbags fitted to
the vehicle are marked by the word AIRBAG.
Always contact your Dealer/Authorised
repairer if:-
• An airbag inflates.
• The front or sides of the vehicle are
damaged.
• Any part of the SRS shows signs of
cracking or damage, including trim
covering airbags.
Airbag operation
Airbags cannot deploy co rrectly if they are
obstructed. Examples of obstructions are:-
• Any part of an occu pants body in contact
with, or close to, an airbag covering.
• Objects placed on, or close to, an airbag
cover.
• Clothing, sun screens, or other material
hanging from grab handles.
• Clothing, cushions, or other material,
covering seat mounted airbags.
• Seat covers which are not approved by
Jaguar, or specifical ly designed for use
with seat mounted airbags.
• Luggage that intrudes into the area that
will be occupied by a deploying airbag
system.
This list is not exhausti ve and it remains the
responsibility of the driv er and passengers to
ensure that the airbags are not obstructed in
any way.
Deployment and deflation
In the event of a collisi on, the restraints control
system monitors the rate and direction of
deceleration. If required to supplement the seat
belts, airbags will be deployed as appropriate.
After operation, frontal airbags do not retain
pressure.
Front airbags
The front passenger’s and driver’s airbags are
able to deploy in two stages, depending on the
severity of the frontal impact. In a severe
impact, the airbags inflate fully to offer
maximum protection. In a lower severity
impact, less inflation ma y be required, so the
airbags inflate in a different manner.
WARNINGS
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
Jaguar Dealer/Authorised repairer.
WARNINGS
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 fitmen t should be referred to
your Dealer/Authorised repairer as soon as
possible for examination and repair.
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.

Child safety
60

This symbol is affixed to the end of the fascia
on the passenger side. Its purpose is to warn
against the use of a rear facing child seat in the
front passenger seat, when the front passenger
airbag is fitted.
Child restraint check list
Every time a child travels in the vehicle observe
the following:-
•Use appropriate ch ild restraints.
• Carefully follow the restraint system
manufacturers instructions.
• Adjust the harnesses for every child on
every trip.
• Ensure that all slack is removed from the
adult seat belt.
• Always attach the top tether when
installing an ISOFIX seat. See CHILD SEAT
ANCHOR POINTS (page 62).
• Always check the security of the child
restraint.
• Do not dress a child in bulky clothing, or
place any objects/padding between the
child and the restraint. •
Regularly check the fit and condition of
child restraints. If the fit is poor, or
wear/damage is visible replace the
restraint immediately.
• Set a good example - always wear your
seat belt.
CHILD SEAT POSITIONING
For optimum safety, child ren 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.
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 Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Note: The legislation which governs how and
where children should be carried when
travelling in a vehicle, is subject to change. It is
the responsibility of the driver to comply with
all regulations in force.
WARNING
Original text according to ECE R94.
01. Extreme hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an airbag in front of it!
E79258
CAUTION
Information given within the table is
correct at the time of going to press.
However, availability of child restraints may
change. Please consult your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer for the latest
recommendation.

VOICE CONTROL (page 373).
Note: Always wait until the tone finishes
sounding before giving a voice command.
Give commands while facing forwards, in a
natural speaking voice as if talking to a
passenger or on the phon e. Most accents are
understood without difficul ty, but if the system
does not recognise the command, the system
will respond with SORRY and allow two more
attempts to say the command.
The system will repe at the command (as
understood by the system ) back to you as
confirmation. The comma nd will then be acted
on or the system will ask for further

has sounded before speaking.
Once you are familiar with system requests, it
is possible to skip to the end of the request (to
when the tone sounds) to give your response.
To achieve this, briefly press and release the
voice button on the steering wheel during the
system request.
Note: If the Voice button on the steering wheel
is pressed before the system is ready to receive
a command, VOICE NOT READY will be

Transmission
138

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 automatica lly 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.
See TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
(page 254).
Selector positions
P - Park: Use when parked. In this position the
transmission is locked, do not attempt to select
P if the vehicle is moving.
Note: P will be selected automatically when the
engine is switched off.
R - Reverse: Do not select if the vehicle is
moving forward.
N - Neutral: Disconnects drive to the wheels.
Use the parking brake when stopping
temporarily with N selected.
D - Drive: Gear changing is automatic for all six
forward gears. The shift points are determined
by accelerator pedal pos ition and road speed,
to provide the best ba lance of performance,
refinement and fuel economy, for the large
majority of driving conditions.
S - Sport: Gear changing is automatic for all six
forward gears, with modified gear shift points
to maximise the ve hicle response in
demanding driving condi tions. This mode is
not suitable for town or highway cruising. Note:
Both D and S positions also offer
additional features, wh ich are listed under
Automatic mode and Sport mode , later in this
section.
Stationary vehicle
When the vehicle is stationary, the selector
may be left in D or S, unless the vehicle is to be
parked. When stopping fo r extended periods,
either select P or apply the parking brake and
select N.
Selector interlock
The transmission is equippe d with an interlock,
to prevent inadvertent selection of a drive gear
(D , S or R) from the P or N positions. To
release the interlock to select a drive gear,
press the brake pedal while making the
selection.
Ensure the required driv ing range has selected
prior to releasing the brake pedal. The range
indicator ( R, D or S) on the selector and
message centre disp lays, will illuminate
continuously to confirm selection.
Note: If the brake pedal is released too early
during selector rotation from P or N to a driving
range ( R, D or S), then the selected range will
not be engaged. The selected range will flash
on the selector and message centre displays.
To obtain the selected range, press the brake
pedal, select P or N and reselect the required
range, ensuring the brake pedal is depressed.
If N is selected for less than 2 seconds (e.g.
when moving the selector between R and D),
the interlock will not ac tivate and the brake
pedal will not need to be pressed.
Note: The interlock is deactivated when the
vehicle is travelling at more than 5 km/h
(3 mph).
