The Bluetooth in-car telephone system allows
certain mobile phones to be used hands-free in
your vehicle. There is no need to connect the
mobile phone to a cradle or cable.
Bluetooth® is a registered trademark of
Bluetooth SIG, Inc.
Please refer to the Owner section of the Jaguar
website at www.jaguar.com , for a list of
compatible phones. Altern atively, please refer
to your Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Note: The Bluetooth technology phones listed
on Jaguar.com, have been tested for
compatibility with Jaguar vehicles.
Performance will vary, based on phone
software version, covera ge and your wireless
carrier. Phones are warranted by their
manufacturer, not Jaguar.
If your mobile phone battery charge becomes
low it may switch off its Bluetooth link to the
vehicle. This is normal operation for mobile
phones, to help preserve the remaining battery
charge. In this event, the touch-screen will
display a phone connection message.
The mobile phone must be paired and docked
with the vehicle system before use.
See TELEPHONE PAIRING AND DOCKING
(page 309). Once paired and docked, the
phone can be operated via the steering wheel
switches or the touch-screen. The mobile
phone doesn’t need to be physically connected
to the vehicle, it can be left in a jacket pocket,
for instance. Calls are routed through the
vehicle’s audio speake rs, and a dedicated
microphone is fitted within the overhead
console and is directionally biased towards the
driver.
You can use the system to answer or reject
incoming calls, make outgoing calls or alter the
call volume. The system does not support SMS
text messaging. Note:
The vehicle ignition system must be on
and the touch-screen system must be active, in
order to use the phone.
Call volume
The volume of telephone calls can be adjusted
for hands-free operation. To adjust the volume,
operate the audio system’s volume control
during a phone call.
If the audio system is in use when the phone
becomes active, the audio system source is
suppressed for the duration of the call.
Charging your phone
It is possible to use the in-car 12V/USB socket
to charge your mobile phone. Refer to the
mobile phone operating instructions for
charging information.

the handset (XXXX being a random four
digit code displayed on the touch-screen).
Enter this into y our phone (see your
phone’s operating instructions for more
information).
9. Your phone is now paired and docked
ready for use. For further information, refer
to the following procedures - Making a
call, Ending a call, Receiving a call .
10. Once a mobile phone has been paired and
docked with the vehicle, the system will
search for the last connected phone, each
time the ignition is switched on. Note:
Due to the duration of a Bluetooth
search, it is advised that the timeout to home
screen feature is switched off before
attempting to search fo r Bluetooth devices.
This setting can be changed within Vehicle,
Syst settings , Display set , Timeout to home
screen .
Note: You do not need to manually pair and
dock the phone with the vehicle every time you
switch the ignition on. If an incorrect code is
entered, your mobile phone should prompt you
to enter the correct code.
The Bluetooth system supports Bluetooth
Hands Free Profile 1.5 (H FP 1.5). If the mobile
phone paired to the system also supports this
profile, additional featur es will be available
such as battery level indicator, signal strength
indicator and network ope rator. If the mobile
phone does not support these features, they
will not be available on the touch-screen.
However, you can refer to the mobile phone's
display to determine these items.
Pairing other phones
Up to five mobile phones can be paired with the
vehicle in the same way. However, only one can
be docked for use. For further information,
refer to Changing the docked phone .

Navigation system

Digitised area
Ensure that you are using the latest version of
the correct DVD for your country.
Note: Your Dealer/Authorised Repairer will
have details of how to order DVD updates.
The navigation DVD provided, contains a
digitised street map. Larger cities and
boroughs are completely covered. The regional
and unclassified roads or access roads and the
town centre for smaller towns and boroughs
are included.
One way streets, pedestrian zones, turn bans
and other traffic regula tions are taken into
account as far as pos sible. There may be
discrepancies between the data on the
navigation DVD and the actual local situation,
due to temporary or permanent changes to
road systems and their traffic regulations.
If the vehicle battery ha s been disconnected, or
if the vehicle has been transported to a new
location on another vehicle (e.g. by trailer or
train), the navigation system may require
several minutes to iden tify the new position.
Errors in vehicle position
Under certain driving condi tions, it is possible
that the vehicle pos ition shown may be
incorrect. Some examples are shown below:
• Negotiating circular ramps in car parks.
• Elevated roads in proximity to other roads.
• Where two roads run parallel to each other.
• Driving on steep roads.
• When the vehicle is transported by ferry or
train.
• After the tyres have been replaced.
• When using snow chains.
• After the vehicle has been rotated on a
turntable.
• After vehicle battery removal or supply
fuse failure.
Reception of GPS signals
GPS signals are high ly directional and
reception may occasiona lly be interrupted.
Some examples of situations likely to cause
problems are shown below:
• Inside buildings
• Forest roads between mountains
• Between tall buildings
• Roads under cliffs.
The vehicle’s direction and speed sensors will
minimise any adverse effect on the operation of
the navigation system, if this should occur.
Normal operation will resume once the
obstruction has been passed.
