The glove box is opened using the
JaguarSense proximity sensor on the fascia
(arrowed). To open the glove box, place the tip
of your finger close to and directly over the
sensor, as shown in the left-hand inset of the
illustration.
The sensor is able to distinguish between a
finger approach and an accidental finger rub
approach from a knee or other large items,
including being wiped for cleaning purposes.
Under these conditions, the sensor will not
react to the input and th e glove box will remain
closed.
Note: When the vehicle alarm is armed or Valet
mode is selected, the proximity sensor is
disabled, preventing the glove box from being
opened.
Note: The wearing of gloves may interfere with
the operation of the prox imity sensor. If gloves
are worn, it may be necessary to touch the
sensor to open the glove box.

Transmission
140
Fast off
Activated when rapidly lifting off the
accelerator pedal and takes account of road
gradient. This feature inhibits up-shifts,
enhancing pe rformance.
Note: If Sport mode is selected, driver type
recognition will vary the activation of this
feature according to driving style.
Shift adapt under braking
Under braking, the transmission will vary the
down-shift point in proportion to braking effort
and road gradient. This feature works in
conjunction with the posit ive torque function,
resulting in a smoother down-shift.
Note: If Sport mode is selected, driver type
recognition will vary the activation of this
feature according to driving style.
Corner recognition
Inhibits up-shifts during cornering, to provide
improved vehicle balance.
Note: If Sport mode is selected, driver type
recognition will vary the activation of this
feature according to driving style.
Road gradient recognition
When the vehicle is being driven on an uphill
gradient, the transmission adapts the shift
pattern to make better use of engine power.
When driving on a long downhill gradient, the
transmission may automatically select a lower
gear, to increase engi ne braking. Selecting
Sport mode (S ) will increase the tendency of
the transmission to select a lower gear in these
conditions, further incr easing engine braking.
Note: It is also possible to manually select a
lower gear to increase e ngine braking via use of
the shift paddles.
Sport mode
To select Sport mode:
1. With the selector in D, push down on the
selector.
2. Rotate from D to S.
Note: When Sport mode is selected SPORT will
be displayed in the message centre, and the
selector indicator will illuminate.
Sport mode enhances th e responsiveness of
the transmission, to prov ide a sporting feel to
driving the vehicle. Sport mode is
recommended for over taking manoeuvres and
for when rapid progress is desired.
To return to automatic m ode move the selector
lever back to the D position. The D on the
selector display will illuminate to confirm that
automatic mode has been selected.

Transmission
Limp-home mode
Note: The driver should be aware that the
vehicle’s performance will be reduced and
must take this into account when driving. Also
the use of the Jaguar Sequential Shift paddles
will be disabled. In this event, seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
In the unlikely event of an electrical or
mechanical failure, tran smission operation will
be limited. The vehicle gear selector ranges P,
R , N , D and S may still be used to enable the
vehicle to be driven to a safe area.
Some faults will cause the selector to be locked
in position until the igniti on is switched off. If
the selected range flashes, it signifies that the
driver request cannot be engaged. Re-select N
and repeat the attempt.
If the transmission is still unable to select the
requested gear, contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.
Message centre display
The message centre will confirm the
JaguarDrive selector pos ition (selected gear). Selector position is sh
own highlighted at the
top of the message cent re and confirmed by
the dot on the circular representation of the
selector.
If manual mode is se lected, the numbers 1 to 6
appear at the top of the display, with the
currently selected gear highlighted.
Note: With the transmission set to permanent
manual mode and Dynamic mode selected,
when the rev limit is re ached, the gear position
indicator in the message centre will glow
amber, to indicate that the next gear should be
selected.
The message centre may also display the
following messages with associated warning
indicators:
ENGINE SYSTEMS FAULT (Red)
RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE (Red or Amber)
GEARBOX FAULT (Amber)
If any of these messages are displayed it is
likely that loss of power or driveability will be
experienced. Seek qualified assistance as soon
as possible.

DYNAMIC MODE
(V8 petrol and diesel vehicles only)
Press to operate. Dynamic mode
co-ordinates the vehicle's control
systems to deliver a high
performance driving experience. This setting
enhances key vehicle systems so that the
vehicle's full potential can be exploited. The
vehicle's responses are aimed at involving the
driver more in focused and purposeful driving,
helping swift progress.
Note: When the transmission is set to
permanent manual mode (i.e. using the
paddles to change gear while in Sport mode)
and Dynamic mode is selected, transmission
upshifts are fully controlled by the driver. This
means that the transmissi on will not change up
a gear automatically, even when the vehicle's
rev limit is reached. When the rev limit is
reached, the gear position indicator in the
message centre will glow amber, to indicate
that the next gear should be selected.
Note: Dynamic mode cannot be active at the
same time as Winter m ode. Dynamic mode will
remain selected for approximately six hours
after the ignition is swit ched off, after which
point it will need to be reselected if required.
STABILITY CONTROL
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
Dynamic Stability Contro l (DSC) is operational
whenever the engine is running, unless it has
been manually switched off. When the system
is operating, the warn ing indicator in the
instrument panel will flash.
The DSC system controls the Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS), traction control and yaw control
of the vehicle.
The DSC system assists the driver in retaining
directional control of th e vehicle in situations
where the vehicle is sliding (understeer or
oversteer). It must not encourage the driver to
drive beyond the limit of adhesion or at speeds
higher than those suitable for the prevailing
road and traffic conditions.
DSC applies braking pres sure to individual
wheels if excessive variation is detected. This
ensures that the vehicle follows the driver’s
intended direction of travel as closely as
possible.
Traction control will intervene to control wheel
spin by automatically reducing the power
output from the engine and applying braking to
individual wheels. This improves acceleration,
particularly on surfaces with uneven friction
(e.g. one wheel on ice with another on tarmac).
Note: For recommended DSC mode selection,
refer to the JaguarDri ve Control scenarios
section in this handbook.
WARNING
The fact that the vehicle is fitted with
DSC, must never allow the driver to
be tempted into taking risks which
could affect his or her sa fety or that of other
road users. In all cases, it remains the driver’s
responsibility to drive sa fely according to the
prevailing conditions.

Fuel and refuelling
Sulphur content
In some countries diesel may contain higher
levers of Sulphur, wh ich could cause damage
to the vehicle, if in doubt contact a local
Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel, a
minimum of 4 litres (0.9 gallons) will be
required to restart the engine. The vehicle will
need to be driven 1.6-5 km (1-3 miles) in order
to reset the engine management and
monitoring systems.
Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel,
seeking qualified assistance is advisable.
Diesel engines
Vehicles with diesel e ngines are equipped with
a system to prevent the fuel tank from
emptying completely. When the fuel reaches a
minimum level, the system will activate a
reduced power mode (i.e . the engine will not
run properly). This will be followed by the
engine stopping in a pproximately 1.6 km
(1 mile). This feature prevents the fuel system from
running dry, which could cause damage to the
vehicle. If the gauge indicates low fuel or the
warning indicator illumi
nates, the fuel tank
should be refuelled as soon as possible at the
next filling stat ion, with at least 4 litres (0.9
gallons) of fuel.
If the system protection function has activated,
the vehicle must firstly be refuelled, then
restarted using the following procedure:
1. With the brake pedal pressed, press and
hold the engine START/STOP button and
crank the engine for five seconds.
2. Release the START/STOP button.
3. With the brake pedal pressed, press and
release the START/STOP button to crank
the engine. The engine should start within
approximately five seconds.
Note: If the engine does not start, pause for ten
seconds with the ignition in convenience
mode, before re peating the procedure from the
beginning.
FUEL CUT-OFF
The fuel system cut-off forms part of the
Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) fitted
to your vehicle. Following an impact, and
depending on the severity , the fuel pump may
be switched off.
CAUTION
Your vehicle is fitted with a Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF), the maximum
Sulphur content must not exceed 0.005%.
Using an incorrect fuel will cause serious
damage to the DPF. See DIESEL
PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) (page 135).
CAUTION
Avoid running out of fuel. Doing so can
cause damage to th e vehicle's engine,
fuel and emission control systems.
CAUTION
Do not crank the engine for longer than
30 seconds, or damage to the fuel pump
may occur.
