Installation



7. Remove air bag module from seat and arrange for disposal in
approved manner.
1. CAUTION: Side air bags are de dicated to either LH or RH
seat installation. When the air bag module is installed, the
multiplug connector must face the seat base.
Position air bag module on the seat frame ensuring that harness
connector faces the seat base.
2. Fit and tighten the securing bolts.
3. Connect the air bag harness mult iplug and fit multiplug onto
retaining clip.
4. CAUTIONS:
Hog rings removed during the following procedure must not
be re-used. Do not commence the following procedure unless new hog rings are availabl e. Use of used or non-Jaguar parts can
impair air bag deployment and cause serious personal injury.
Hog ring pliers must be used to install new hog rings. Use
of ordinary pliers will result in ring deformation, leading to
possible failure and personal in jury during airbag deployment.
Fit the seat squab cover. Refer to 76.70.15.
5. Fit the seat back finisher. Refer to 76.70.09.
6. Connect ground cable to battery terminal and fit battery cover.

lever mechanism driven by an electric motor. A sliding roof control module (SRCM) controls the motor in response to
selections made on the roof console switch , or input from the security system for automatic closing. Both the motor and the SRCM are accessed by removing the roof console.In the event of an electrical failure the sliding roof can be manually
operated. This is achieved by inserting a wide bladed screwdriver into a slot in the motor drive gear and turning clockwise to open or counter clockwise to close the sliding roof.
• NOTE: The drive gear becomes disengaged from the motor during manual operation. Before restoring electrical operation
the drive gear must be rotated one quarter turn in the reverse direction to re-engage the motor.
The SRCM is held in position by clips and has two electrical connectors in terfacing with the motor and the roof console
switch/security system. Prior to installing a new SRCM, the sun ro of must be in a neutral closed position. This provides the
SRCM with a sliding roof datum, to ensure accurate and consistent operation. Obstacle sensin g operates on closing in the
slide mode only. If the sliding roof lid encounters an ob struction between 4mm and 200mm from the closed position, the
SRCM detects increased motor load and reve rses the motor, driving the sliding roof to the fully open position. The sliding
roof lid surround seal has a metal inner sect ion which will deform on removal. If removed, this seal must be discarded and a
new seal must be installed on the lid using a Jaguar approved crimping tool.
