Rear View Mirrors
The.interior rear view mirror is an electrochromic unit that automatically da rkens to prevent glare from following vehicle
lights. This automatic function is selected by pressing the switch at the bottom of the mirror. Pressing the switch again
cancels this function. An LED then illuminates when automatic dipping is operative. The light sensing unit for the Night
Sentinel automatic lamp operating system is also incorporated in the mirror casing.
The door mirrors are cheater mounted, colo r-keyed units, remote electrically adjustable and heated. Adjustment of both
mirrors is carried out from the driver's door switchpack.A slider switch selects the mirror to be adjusted, and a disc switch
adjusts the selected mirror to the required position. Mirror ad justment can only be made when the ignition switch is in
position I or II or the driver's door is open, and the selector switch is moved from the central position. The door mirrors also
automatically darken under control of the electrochromic interior rear view mirror. Mirror heating elements operate on
selection of backlight heating.
Automatic dipping of passenger door mirror for kerb view when reversing, is fitted as part of the memory pack. With the
ignition switch in position II, the mirror selector switch in the left or right position and reverse gear selected, automatic
dipping is initiated by moving the mirror toggle switch rearwards and releasing. On receipt of the dip signal, the passenger
door mirror is driven downwards either 7 degrees, bottom of travel, or 4,5 to 5,5 seconds, whichever occurs first.
Subsequent rearward movement of the toggle switch achieves further dipping of the mirror in the same increments and
sequence. The mirror can be manu ally returned to the normal memorised positi on by moving the toggle switch forward with
reverse gear selected. The mirror will auto matically return to memorised position on deselection of reverse gear, or moving
ignition switch from position II.
Door mirror fold-back where fitted, to facilitate parking in conf ined spaces, can be initiated when the ignition switch is in
position I or II, the mirror selector switch is in the centra l position and vehicle speed is below 19 km/h (12 mph). Mirror
fold-back is then initiated by moving the toggle switch rear wards and releasing it. The door mirrors are returned to the
normal driving position by agai n moving toggle switch rearwards. There is no speed constraint on this operation. In the
event of a fold-back mirror becoming 'out of position' due to acci dental impact, it must only be re-positioned by initiating
the fold-back sequence.
Loss of power supplies will result in loss of mirror fold-back memory. In the event of such a memory loss with mirrors in the
normal position, fold-back will operate on second movement of the toggle swit ch. On loss of memory with mirrors in the
fold-back position, they will return to the no rmal position on next fold-back operation.
Bumpers
Each bumper comprises a beam mounted to the body via two strut assemblies, and a moulded polypropylene cover
incorporating side armatures and chrome plated blades. Each strut is secured to the BIW by three bolts and supports the
beam on a single bolt/height adjuster. The front bumper cover which is moulded to form a lo wer air intake for the cooling
pack, also incorporates left and right handed twin fog lamps, brake coolin g ducts. Side marker lamps fitted for some
markets serve only as reflectors for UK and Europe. A plastic undertray secured to the lower edge of the front bumper,
improves airflow and minimises the ingres s of road grime in that area. Standard bumpers have glass mat thermoplastic
(GMT) beams mounted on GMT struts. For certain markets, aluminium bumper beams are installed on menasco energy
absorbing struts. Whilst both types of front bumper provide a fu lly integrated 'soft front end' that satisfies bumper impact
requirements, the energy absorbing front and rear bumpers are further designed to withstand 5mph (8kph) impacts with no
visible damage sustained. Side markers/re flectors, and direction indicators are designed for ease of ac cess from the outside
of the bumper. For adjustment and bulb change, the fog lamps are accessed from th e bumper interior. The bumper covers
are body coloured and matched. Replacement covers are supplied complete with side armatures and are finished in primer
Trunk
The trunk houses the spare wheel, the battery, an electrical carrier containing electrical fuses, relays and modules and a
compact disc auto-changer attached to body bracketry. The trun k is fitted with push-fit liners to the sides and front inner
panel.The carpet covered floor is in two removable sections, one covering the spare wheel and wheel changing equipment,
the other covering the battery and electrical carrier. The front and rear edges of the floor board loca te in blocks on the fuel
tank backboard and the rear of the body , which provide two height settings to accommodate the difference in thickness
between the space saver and full sized spare wheels. A moulded finisher covering the rear of the trunk below the sill is
secured to the rear panel by tabs and fir tree fasteners. Finisher panels fitted over the rear lamp units provide for access
from the trunk. Finisher panels fitted to the rear lamp units provide trunk inte rior access to the lamps. The trunk lid
underside is fitted with a removable mo ulded liner and two trunk illumination light s. Trunk locking is based on a central
latch and striker, operated electrically through the central lo cking system by an adjacent actuator or by key in a barrel lock

Paint
The inhalation of sprays, fumes, or dust during paint application or sanding processes should always be avoided. Ensure
that there is efficient ventilation / extrac tion at all times. Paint spraying should be confined as far as possible to spray
booths. Personnel with a history of asth ma should not be employed in any process involving the use of isocyanates.
Operators working in a spray booth where isocyanate material is present must use air-fed breathing equipment with air
supplied to the visor at the re commended pressure and filtered to remove oil, water, and fumes. Operators involved in
handling mixing or spraying should wear protective clothing including gloves and goggles, to avoid skin and eye contact.
Particle masks or canister type respir atosr should be worn when sanding.
Applied Heat
When welding, flame cutting, brazing etc, the operator shou ld use as appropriate, goggles, mask / fume extractor and
flameproof protective clothing. It is especially important when working with polyurethane compounds to use air-fed
breathing equipment. Appropriat e fire fighting equipment and personnel trai ned in its use must always be available.
Metal Repair
Appropriate eye and hand protection should be worn when sanding, drilling, cutting, chiselling, flatting or welding. Face
masks or air-fed visors should also be wo rn when sanding or flatting either body solder or fillers. On completion of a
soldering operation, swarf must be re moved from the work area and the operat or must wash his hands thoroughly.
GENERAL REPAIR NOTES
The following advice should be noted before any repair work is carried out.
Disconnect the vehicle battery gr ound lead (disconnect the alternator where electric welding is used) and take note of the
reconnection procedures as detailed in 86.15.15.
Where structural parts are straightened or renewed, a body alignment / straightening jig must be used. The application of
heat, especially excessive heat, reduces the strength of steels, where appropriate therefore, structural sections should be
straightened by cold processes.
Repairs may only be carried out successful ly, and any warranties protected, if genuine Jaguar replacement parts and Jaguar
approved materials are used.
The correct tools, procedures and facilities must always be us ed. The quality of the work must not be compromised by using
inappropriate methods or equipment.
All trim and electrical components in the locality of the repair must be removed or disconnected prior to panel removal /
replacement; this is especially important where hollow sectio ns may contain harnesses, tubes or foam, see section A4.3.5.
WARNING: DO NOT WORK IN THE VICINITY OF A LIVE AIR BAG, REMOVE IT COMPLETELY. READ WORKING
PRACTICES AIR BAG, SECTION 20. ANY SEAT BELT WHICH HAS BEEN WORN IN AN ACCIDENT MUST BE RENEWED.
CAUTION: Electric arc welding should not be used on Jaguar vehicles. The high voltages produced by this process will
cause irreparable damage to the electric al control and microprocessor systems.
The following welding and gas processes are the only ones recommended by Jaguar Cars Ltd.
Welding and Gas Processes
Resistance spot welding, MIG welding and all gas processes may only be carried out on bare, unpainted or unplated metal.
The flanges of panels to be welded toge ther, must be clean, corrosion free and tr eated as appropriate, with either weld-
through primer or inter-weld sealer. Only materials and processes specified in the 'Body Sealing and Preservation Manual'
should be used in the relevant application areas detailed in this section. Refer to 'Zinc Coated Panels' Section
