Description and Operation 
 
Introduction Published: 21-Jan-2014 
 
CAUTION: Do not use any other heat shrink sleeve other than the approved glue lined heat shrink sleeve mentioned in 
the repair procedure. 
 
The purpose of this document is to promote quick and efficient minor repair to harness connectors or cables using approved 
methods. Repairs may only be made to cables and connectors which have been mechanically, not electrically damaged. It also 
applies where the whole extent of the damage can be clearly identified and rectified. 
Care and neatness are essential requirements in making a perfect repair. 
 
Caution: 
 
This harness repair guide, does not approve repairs to any of the following circuits: 
1. Any media orientated system transport network harnesses. 
2. Supplement restraint system (SRS) firing circuits (Air bags). 
3. Link lead assembles, which are unique to safety critical circuits such as anti-lock brake system (ABS) and thermocouple 
circuits. An example of this is the ABS wheel speed sensors with moulded connectors. 
4. 4. Screened cables, leads and wiring harness(s). 
 
If any harness(s) with defective electrical connector terminals or wires from the above circuits are a concern, new 
components must be installed. 
 
Repair Components 
 
 
CAUTION: Where the repair procedure indicates that a glue lined heat shrink sleeve should be applied, apply sufficient 
heat to the glue lined heat shrink to melt the glue in order to provide a water tight seal. Do not over heat the glue lined heat 
shrink sleeve so that the wiring harness insulation becomes damaged. 
The wiring harness repair components comprises: 
 
Pre-terminated wiring harness(s) of different sizes and types 
Three sizes of butt splice connectors 
A selection of colored cable identification sleeves 
Two sizes of glue lined heat shrink sleeves 
A suitable heat source, for shrinking heat shrink sleeves will be required. 
 
The pre-insulated diamond grip range of electrical connector terminals and in-line, butt splice connectors are the only 
acceptable product for the repairs of wiring harnesses. The butt connectors not only grip the wire but also the insulation, 
making a very secure joint. 
 
If an electrical connector terminal is not available approval for the repair is NOT given and in these circumstances a new wiring 
harness must be installed. 
 
Pre-Terminated Wiring Harness(s) and Butt Splice Connectors 
 
The pre-terminated wiring harness(s) are supplied with the insulation in one of three colors, red, blue or yellow. The colors do 
not apply to any particular circuit but to the harness wire size. See the Relationship Table in the Repair Method section. 
 
Butt splice connectors are also supplied with red, blue or yellow coverings, which must be matched to the pre-terminated 
wiring harness insulation color.

OVERVIEW 
 
Leather Seat Covers Published: 20-Nov-2013 
 
Leather is a natural product, therefore it bears natural characteristics, such as grain variations, growth & bush marks. These 
non-weakening marks show the true nature of the hide and are the hallmarks of Leather. In order to maintain the beauty of the 
vehicles natural Leather upholstery it requires regular cleaning, which if neglected, may cause deterioration. Where dust and 
dirt are allowed to accumulate and become ingrained in the surface of the Leather, the upholstery may become permanently 
damaged. 
 
Light coloured upholstery can be particularly susceptible to soiling and staining and care should be taken to ensure that where 
there is evidence of any soiling or staining on the upholstery then this should be cleaned immediately using the Jaguar/Land 
Rover approved products, failure to do this could lead to the stain becoming permanent, this applies to all leather upholstery 
and is not colour specific. 
 
Leather trimmed seats will naturally exhibit areas of creasing and wrinkling over a period of time and is a normal characteristic 
as the Leather ages. 
 
Particular care should be taken where there is evidence of soiling or staining on the leather, this should be cleaned 
immediately. Failure to do this could lead to the stain becoming permanent. 
Particular care should be taken to prevent damage from studs, zips and buckles. 
NOTES: 
 
Please refer to Leather care label attached to seats for more information. 
 
 
Creasing and wrinkling does not represent a manufacturing defect. 
 
 
Damage from studs, zips and buckles do not represent manufacturing defects. 
 
 
Use only Jaguar/Land Rover approved products in accordance with the instructions for use. 
 
General 
 
A number of front seating options are available. An 8-way electrically adjustable driver's seat is complemented by an 8-way 
electrically adjustable passenger seat. A 10-way electrically adjustable driver's seat is complemented by an 10-way electrically 
adjustable front passenger seat. A 16-way electrically adjustable driver's seat is complemented by a 12-way electrically 
adjustable front passenger seat. 
 
On non-memory seats, the operation of the seats is controlled directly from the driver's seat switchpack. On memory seats, 
the operation of the seat motors is controlled by a seat control module which is located on the underside of the driver's seat 
frame. 
 
The driver's seat is fitted with a seat position sensor which is located on the seat rail. The sensor is used by the RCM 
(restraints control module) to determine the seat position and adjust the inflation time of the airbag deployment accordingly.

Description and Operation 
Authoring Template 
OVERVIEW Published: 11-May-2011 
A three point safety belt is fitted to all seating positions. Each safety belt retractor incorporates an emergency locking feature. 
The emergency locking retractor incorporates 2 mechanical inertia devices. One inertia device activates if the safety belt is 
subjected to a sharp pull. The second inertia device activates if the vehicle is subject to a sudden deceleration or is on a 
severe incline. 
 
North American Specification (NAS) safety belt retractors also include an automatic locking feature. The Automatic Locking 
Retractor (ALR) is fitted to all passenger seating positions and allows the safety belt to be tensioned to aid the safe fitment 
of child or booster seats. For additional information, refer to the Owners Handbook. 
 
NAS vehicles are also fitted with a belt tension sensor on the front passenger seat. The belt tension sensor is incorporated 
into the seat belt lower anchorage and is attached to the seat frame by an M10 Torx head bolt. The belt tension sensor forms 
part of the SRS (supplemental restraint system) occupancy detection and classification feature. 
 
The center rear safety belt features a mini-buckle lower anchorage. The mini-buckle is disengaged by inserting a suitable tool 
into the small aperture on the front face of the housing. 
 
To aid the fitment of child seats, 3 tethers are located on the rear parcel shelf. Each tether is attached to the parcel shelf with 
an M10 Torx head bolt. 
 
A safety belt warning indicator is located in the instrument cluster to remind front seat passengers to fasten their safety belts. 
The warning indicator will illuminate if the safety belt of an occupied front seat is not fastened. 
Refer to: Instrument Cluster (413-01, Description and Operation).
