Convenience features
               
AUXILIARY POWER SOCKETS
The auxiliary power socket is located in the 
cubby box.
GLOVE BOX
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.
CAUTIONS
Only Jaguar approv ed accessories 
should be plugged into the power 
sockets. Using any other equipment may 
damage the vehicle's electrical system. If you 
are in any doubt contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.
The engine should be running when 
using accessories for long periods. 
Failure to do so can discharge the battery.

Engine block heaters
Engines are more difficult to start when the 
ambient temperature is very low. In 
geographical areas where temperatures below 
-10°C (14°F) are experienced frequently, it is 
advisable to fit an engine block heater. The 
block heater will have an insulated connector at 
the front of the vehicle, which is connected to a 
mains supply using a suitable extension cable. 
The heater can remain in use overnight if 
required. Typically, an e ngine block heater will 
use between 400W and 1000W per hour.
For further information  consult your Jaguar 
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
If the engine fails to start
When pressing the engine START/STOP button 
to start the engine, if the security status 
indicator lamp on the top surface of the 
instrument panel rema ins flashing, a fault 
condition is indicate d. Seek qualified 
assistance as soon as possible.
Note:  If the Jaguar Smart Key is placed in the 
door pocket, it may be outside the range of the 
sensors when the door is opened.
Note:  If the fuel system inertia switch has 
tripped, the ignition circuit will be isolated. 
See FUEL CUT-OFF  (page 177).
Petrol engines
If the engine persistently  fails to start, press the 
START/STOP button (without applying the 
brake pedal) to return the ignition to 
convenience mode. Slowly depress the 
accelerator pedal fully,  hold it in this position 
and press the START/STOP button with the 
brake pedal applied, the engine will start to 
crank. Release the accelerator pedal when the 
engine starts.
If the engine still fails to start, consult your 
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Diesel engines
If the engine persistently  fails to start, press 
and hold the START/STOP button (with the 
brake pedal applied). Keep the START/STOP 
button and the brake pedal pressed until the 
engine starts, then release.

Transmission
               
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The transmission system is designed to 
operate in two distinct modes, conventional 
automatic and Jaguar Sequential Shift.
The automatic modes are accessed by the gear 
selector:
•D - Drive - automatic shifting.
• S - Sport - sport automatic shifting.
The Jaguar Sequential  Shift mode enables 
sequential manual gear selection in  D 
(temporary) and  S (permanent) modes, via the 
steering wheel m ounted paddles.
Note:  In addition to the st andard shift patterns 
available in  D and  S, the transmission will 
adapt to differing conditions by modifying shift 
points, based upon vehicl e sensor information 
for road gradient, cornering, braking pressure 
and driving style.
JaguarDrive selector
The JaguarDrive selector elevates out of the 
centre console when the  engine is started, in 
readiness for gear selection. Press the brake 
pedal, then rotate the control to select the 
chosen gear ( P, R , N  or  D) or, from  D, press 
down on the control and rotate to select  S 
(Sport).
CAUTIONS
Never select the Park ( P) position whilst 
the vehicle is in motion. Doing so may 
cause serious damage  to the transmission.
Never select the Reverse ( R) position 
whilst the vehicle is in forward motion. 
Doing so may cause serious damage to the 
transmission.
Never select a forward gear whilst the 
vehicle is in rearward motion. Doing so 
may cause serious damage to the 
transmission.
Do not rev the engine or allow it to run 
above normal idle speed while selecting 
D  or  R, or while the vehicle is stationary with 
any gear selected.
Do not allow the vehicle to remain 
stationary for any length of time, with a 
gear selected and the  engine running. Always 
select  P or  N if the engine is to idle for a 
prolonged period.

Transmission
               
Driver type recognition
In Sport mode, the transmission monitors 
driving style and in combination with sensors 
in the vehicle, varies the shift schedule, 
fast-off, corner recognition and shift adapt 
under braking functions, according to the 
driving style.
Manual mode - Jaguar Sequential Shift
Shifts in the Jaguar Sequential Shift manual 
mode are made using the steering wheel 
mounted shift paddles and are optimised to 
provide a rapid response to  gear shift requests. Up-shift requests (
+) are optimised for 
performance via the s hort shift function, 
resulting in firmer feeling shifts than in 
automatic mode. Down-shift requests ( -) 
utilise a throttle blip duri ng the shift, resulting 
in improved shift feel.
The Jaguar Sequential Shift manual mode can 
be accessed either temporarily, or 
permanently.
Temporary manual gear selection:  When the 
gear selector is in the  D position, manual mode 
may be directly accessed by the single action of 
operating the steering wheel mounted shift 
paddles.
This convenience feature allows immediate but 
temporary use of the sh ift paddles when the 
gear selector is in  D.
If continued use of manua l mode is required, 
the gear selector may  be subsequently moved 
to the S  position to enter permanent manual 
mode in the currently selected gear.
If the gear selector remains in the  D position, 
temporary manual mode will be held whilst the 
driver is accelerating,  decelerating, cornering 
or continuing to request  shifts via the paddles.
The transmission will revert to automatic 
operation after a short pe riod of driving at 
steady speed; alternatively the shift-up ( +) 
paddle may be held for a short period 
(approximately one second) to return directly 
to automatic operation in D .
Permanent manual gear selection:  Select the 
S  position, permanent manual mode is then 
accessed by the operation of the steering wheel 
mounted shift paddles.
The message centre will  highlight the currently 
selected gear.

 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.

Front and rear parking aid
When both front and rear parking aids are 
fitted, a switch is located in the overhead 
console.
Pressing the switch turns both the front and 
rear parking aids on or off. The switch warning 
indicator will come on when the system is 
turned on. A switch is not provided when only 
a rear parking aid is fitted.
Note:  The front parking aid  will also operate 
when reverse gear is selected.
The front parking aid  provides an audible 
proximity warning when driving forwards or 
reversing.
The front and rear sensors only operate within 
a fixed speed range in forward gears and are 
not effective when moving forwards above 
15 km/h (9 mph). Objects are detected within the approximate 
operating range from the 
front of the vehicle, 
as shown in the illustration above:
1. 600 mm (24 inches).
2. 1800 mm (71 inches).
3. 800 mm (31 inches).
If an obstacle is detected  at the front or rear of 
the vehicle, a warning tone will be heard from 
the front or rear speaker respectively.
Note:  The outer rear sensors ( 1) will show 
visual detection on the  touch-screen, before 
the audible warning is given.
The warning tone increa ses in rate as the 
vehicle approaches the obstacle.
CAUTION
The parking aid system automatically 
switches off when the vehicle is moving 
above 15 km/h (9 mph) in  D, and will need to 
be reselected when moving below 15 km/h 
(9 mph).

Parking aid
               
The front or rear warning tone will become 
continuous when the obstacle is detected at or 
within 300 mm (12 inches) from the vehicle.
Note:  The outer front and rear sensors will 
switch off if the distance to an object increases 
or remains constant  for 3 seconds. The 
sensors will reactivate  automatically if a new 
object is detected with in the operating range, 
or if the distance to the original object reduces.
Rear fitted accessories
Particular care must be taken when reversing 
with rear fitted accessories e.g. bicycle carrier, 
as the rear park assist will only indicate the 
distance from the bumper to the obstacle.
Cleaning the sensors
Do not clean the sensors with abrasive or sharp 
objects or materials.
For reliable operation, th e sensors in the front 
and rear bumpers should be kept free from ice, 
frost and grime.
When using a high pressure spray the sensors 
should only be sprayed br iefly and not from a 
distance of less than 200 mm (8 inches).
System fault
If the system has a fault when engaging reverse 
gear or turning on the ignition, then a single, 
three second tone will be  heard (only once per 
ignition cycle) and a pop-up warning will 
appear on the touch-scre en. If both front and 
rear parking aids are fitted, the warning 
indicator in the parking aid switch will flash for 
three seconds and then switch off, if a fault is 
detected. 
If a fault is detected, the system is 
automatically disabled.
The parking aid may sound  spurious tones if it 
detects a frequency tone using the same band 
as the sensors (e.g. air brakes).
