BLIND SPOT MONITOR
The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) system
monitors a zone that covers the area adjacent
to the vehicle, that is not easily visible by the
driver and is designed to identify any object
overtaking the vehicle. Th e system uses a radar
on each side of the vehicle to identify any
overtaking vehicl e/object within the blind spot
area of the vehicle, while disregarding other
objects which may be stati onary or travelling in
the opposite direction, etc.
The radar monitors the ar ea extending from the
exterior mirror rearwards, to approximately 7
metres (23 feet) behind the rear wheels, and up
to 2.5 metres (8.2 feet) from the side of the
vehicle (the wi dth of a typical carriageway
lane).
Note: This radar sensor is approved in all RTTE
countries.
Note: The system covers an area of a fixed lane
width. If the lanes are narrower than a typical
carriageway lane, objects travelling in
non-adjacent lanes may be detected.
BSM automatically switches on and becomes
active when the vehicle is travelling at greater
than 16 km/h (10 mph) in a forward drive gear.
When the system initiates, it performs a
self-check, during which the warning icons in
the mirrors illuminate alternately for a short
period of time.
WARNINGS
The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)
system is a supplement to, not a
replacement for, a safe driving style
and use of the exterior and rear-view mirrors.
It remains the driver's re sponsibility to detect
other vehicles, and their relative distance and
speed, when deciding whet her or not it is safe
to change lanes.
Please note that BSM may not be able
to give adequate wa rning of vehicles
approaching very quickly from behind
or vehicles that are be ing overtaken rapidly.
The radar sensors may be impaired
by rain, snow or road spray. This may
affect the sy stem's ability to reliably
detect a vehicle/object wi thin the blind spot. In
such conditions, take extra care when
changing lanes.
BSM may not be able to detect all
vehicles and may also detect objects,
such as roadside barriers, etc.
CAUTIONS
Ensure that the warning indicators in the
exterior mirrors are not obscured by
stickers or other objects.
Do not attach stickers or objects to the
rear bumpers, that may interfere with
the radar sensors.
E96410

BSM is designed to work most effectively when
driving on multi-lane highways.
If an object is identified by the system as being
an overtaking vehicle/object, an amber
warning icon ( 1) illuminates in the relevant
exterior mirror, to alert the driver that there is a
potential hazard in the vehicle's blind spot and
therefore, that a lane change might be
dangerous.
Note: If an overtaking vehicle is detected on
both sides of the vehicle simultaneously, the
warning icons in both mirrors will illuminate.
Note: BSM is automatically turned off when
reverse ( R) gear is selected, when the vehicle is
in park ( P), the vehicle is travelling below
16 km/h (10 mph) and also when the electrical
connector for the trailer socket is plugged in on
vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket.
When in these conditions, an amber warning
indicator within the exterior mirror is
displayed.Sensor blockage
The BSM system will automatically disable if
either of the sensors become completely
obscured, an amber wa rning indicator dot (2)
is displayed in the exterior mirror and the
message BSM sensor blocked appears in the
message centre.
Note: Blockage testing is only initiated when
vehicle speed is above 32 km/h (20 mph) and
will take at least two minutes of accumulated
time travelling above th is speed, to determine
that the sensor is blocked.
If the sensors become blocked, then please
check that there is nothing obscuring the rear
bumper and that it is cl ear from ice, frost and
dirt.
System fault
If a fault with one of the radar sensors is
detected, an amber warn ing indicator dot is
displayed in the exterior mirror and the
message BSM not available is displayed in the
message centre.
Note: Even if the detected fault only affects the
radar sensor on one side of the vehicle, the
whole system is disabled. If the fault is
temporary, the system will operate correctly
once the engine has been switched off and then
on again.
If a fault in the system occurs, consult your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

GARAGE DOOR TRANSCEIVERThe door transceiver is located in the rear-view
mirror. It can be programmed to transmit the
radio frequencies of up to three different
transmitters, which can be used to activate
garage doors, entry ga tes, home lighting,
security systems or other radio frequency
operated devices.
Although this section mainly describes the
procedures for a garage door opener, it also
equally applies to the previously mentioned
applications.
In some countries, this feature is also known
as the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.
For further information, see Information and
Assistance later in this section.
Before programming
For best results, fit a new battery to the
hand-held transmitter of the garage door
opener (or other device ) before programming.
If your garage door opener receiver (located in
the garage) is equippe d with an antenna,
ensure that the antenna is hanging straight
down.
WARNINGS
Do not use the transceiver with any
garage door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature as
required by safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these features increases
risk of serious injury or death.
When programming the transceiver
to a garage door opener or entry gate,
ensure the area is clear. This will
prevent potential harm or damage as the gate
or garage door will activate during the
programme.
CAUTION
This device may suffer from interference
if operated in the vici nity of a mobile or
fixed station transmitter. This interference is
likely to affect the hand-held transmitter as
well as the in-car transceiver.
E95122
CAUTION
When programming a device that may
require you to press and re-press the
hand-held transmitte r (cycle), unplug the
device during the cycling process to prevent
possible motor failure.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Note: Once the system has been activated by
selecting reverse or using the switch, the front
and rear sensors are active when the gear
selector is in neutral. Therefore, if an obstacle
is detected an audible warning tone will sound.
The parking aid is automatically in standby
when the ignition is on and provides the driver
with information on most obstructions, and
their distance from the vehicle, when
manoeuvring. This is ac hieved by using four
ultrasonic sensors on each bumper.
When objects are detected the Park aid will
emit a warning tone which increases in
frequency and then becomes constant, as the
vehicle gets closer to the object.
USING THE PARKING AID
Touch-screen
To set the volume of the parking aid warning
tones:
• Select Vehicle from the touch-screen
Home menu, then select Veh. settings.
• Select Parking , then select Vol. presets.
Touch the Parking aid + or - button to increase
or decrease the warning tone volume.
Note: This adjusts both front and rear speaker
volume.
WARNINGS
It remains the driver’s responsibility
to be vigilant when reversing. Small
children or animals may not be
detected by the system.
It remains the driver’s responsibility
to detect obstacles and estimate the
vehicle’s distance from them. Some
overhanging objects , barriers, thin
obstructions or painted surfaces which could
possibly cause damage to the vehicle may not
be detected by the system. Always be vigilant
when reversing.
CAUTIONS
Objects moving away from the vehicle
will be reported. Howe ver, whilst driving
away, object warning may be temporarily
reported due to ground reflection.
Systems using the same frequency
band as the front parking sensors, may
cause irregular tones to be emitted.

Vehicle care

CLEANING THE ALLOY WHEELS
Wash the wheels with soap and water, this
should be done more frequently when the
wheels are exposed to heavy dirt deposits, salt,
clay etc. If you are unsure how often to clean
the wheels in particular conditions, seek advice
from your Dealer/A uthorised Repairer.
Jaguar approved wheel cleaner should be used
to remove heavy soiling.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Washing the vehicle paintwork
Remove heavy deposits of mud and dirt with a
hose before washing the vehicle.
When salt is used on the roads, wash the
vehicle immediately after encountering such
conditions. Clean undersid es and wheel arches
using a high pressure jet.
Wash the vehicle frequently using a sponge
and generous quantities of cold or luke warm
water containing a suitable car shampoo. Rinse
thoroughly and dry with a chamois leather or
synthetic substitute.
For best results, do not wash the vehicle under
strong sunlight. Always allow the vehicle to
cool down before washing.
Do not use a dry cloth to wipe dirty paintwork.
Dust and gritty substances are abrasive and
will scratch the paintwork. Remove dirt using a
cellulose sponge and plen ty of warm (never
hot) water. Rinse off with clean water and dry
using a clean, damp cham ois leather. Wash the
vehicle frequently.
CAUTION
Do not use non-approved, or acid based
wheel cleaners. These can damage the
wheel coating which may lead to corrosion of
the wheel rims.
CAUTIONS
Some high pressure cleaning systems
are sufficiently powe rful to penetrate
door and window seals, and damage trim and
door locks. Never aim the water jet directly at
the engine air intake, he ater air intakes, body
seals (doors, sunroof, windows etc.) or at any
components which may be damaged (lamps,
mirrors, exterior trim etc.).
Ensure that you read and comply with all
warnings and instruct ions supplied with
any cleaning products.
Never use cleaning products which are
not approved for use on vehicles.
CAUTION
Substances which are corrosive, such
as bird droppings, tree resin, dead
insects, tar spots, road salt and industrial fall
out, can damage the vehic le's paintwork. Any
such deposits should be removed as soon as
possible to prevent damage.
