Introduction

DATA RECORDING
Service data recording
Service data recorders in your vehicle are
capable of collecting and storing diagnostic
information about your vehicle. This potentially
includes information about the performance or
status of various syst ems and modules in the
vehicle such as engine, throttle, steering or
brakes.
In order to properly di agnose and service your
vehicle, Jaguar service and repair facilities may
access vehicle diagnos tic information through
a direct connection to your vehicle.
Event data recording
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed. The EDR is de signed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems
for a short period of ti me, typically 30 seconds
or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were
operating.
• Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened.
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or the brake pedal.
• How fast the vehicle was travelling.
• The rotational position of the steering
wheel.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the ci rcumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur. Note:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial cr ash situation occurs; no
data are recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g.
name, gender, age and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the EDR data with
the type of personally id entifying data routinely
acquired during a cr ash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
DISABILITY MODIFICATIONS
Occupants with disabili ties which may require
modification of the ve hicle, must contact a
Dealer/Authorised Re pairer before any
modifications are made.

41
Seats

SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION
The seat, head restraint, seat belt and airbags,
all contribute to the protection of the user.
Correct use of these components will give you
greater protection, therefore you should
observe the following points:
1. Sit in an upright position with the base of
your spine as far back as possible and the
seatback reclined no more than 30
degrees.
2. Do not move the driver's seat too close to
the steering wheel. Ideally, a minimum
distance of 254 mm (10 inches) is
recommended betwee n the breastbone
and the steering wheel airbag cover. Hold
the steering wheel in the correct position
with your arms slightly bent.
• Adjust the head restraint so that its highest
point is level with the top of your head. •
Position the seat belt so that it is mid-way
between your neck an d your shoulder. Fit
the strap tightly across your hips, not
across your stomach.
• Ensure that your driving position is
comfortable and enables you to maintain
full control of the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not adjust the seat while the
vehicle is moving. Doing so could
cause loss of vehicle control and
personal injury.

Manual head restraints
1.Press the locking collar to release the head
restraint.
2. Whilst pressing the locking collar, move
the head restraint up or down to the
required position.
Note: It is not necessary to press the locking
collar to adjust the head restraint upwards.
Head restraint removal
Manual head restraints may be removed, if
required, to fit larger child seats. Press the
locking collar and lift the restraint out of the
seat back. Ensure the restraint is refitted once
the child seat is removed.
Note: It is not possible to remove power-
operated head restraints. Note:
Refer to the Child Safety section for
details on correct child restraint fitment.
See CHILD SEATS (page 59).
REAR SEATS
The split fold rear seat can be folded
completely to accommodate large loads, or
partially to accommodate long loads, and still
retain seating for passengers.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to remove a front head
restraint fitted with a display screen.
This may damage elec trical connections.
E93185
WARNINGS
Always ensure that objects carried
within the vehicle are secured
properly. Unsecure d items can cause
death or serious injury in the event of an
impact or sudden manoeuvre.
Never allow passengers to travel in
the luggage compartment under any
circumstances. All vehicle occupants
should be seated correct ly, and wear a seat
belt at all times when the vehicle is in motion.
Failure to do so will greatl y increase the risk of
death and serious injury in the event of an
accident or heavy braking.
Always take note of safety warnings
and labels attached to the rear seats.
The labels give advice on safely
folding and erecting the seats.

Seats

Raising the rear seats
The process for raising the rear seat is the
reverse of folding.
HEATED SEATS
Note: To prevent the battery from becoming
discharged the seat heaters will only operate
when the engine is running.
Seat heating is adjusted through the vehicle
touch-screen (from either the Climate or the
Home menu). The seat heaters have three
temperature levels, indica ted by the three bars
adjacent to each seat icon.
• Touch the left or right -hand seat icon (as
appropriate) to activate the seat heater,
which initially selects the maximum
temperature level (three bars).
• Touch the icon a second time to select the
medium temperature setting (two bars).
• Touch the icon a third time to select the
lowest temperature setting (one bar).
• Touch the icon again to switch off the seat
heaters.
WARNINGS
Ensure that when the seat back is
raised, the seat belts are routed
correctly and are not trapped by the
seat back.
Ensure that when the seat back is
raised, the locking mechanism is fully
engaged. Failure to do so can
increase the risk of death or serious injury in
the event of an accident or sudden manoeuvre
or heavy braking.
Before driving, ensure that the head
restraints are correctly fitted to the
rear seats.

Seat belts

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Seat beltsSeat belt safety
WARNINGS
Seat belts are designed to bear upon
the bony structure of the body, and
should be worn low across the front
of the pelvis or the pe lvis chest and shoulders,
as applicable; wearing the lap section of the
belt across the abdominal area must be
avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection for
which they have been designed. A slack belt
will greatly reduce the protection afforded to
the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing with
polishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid . Cleaning may safely
be carried out using mild soap and water.
The belt should be replaced if
webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated or damaged.
It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in a
severe impact even if damage to the
assembly is not obvious.
Belts should not be worn with the
straps twisted.
E82942
WARNINGS
Do not carry hard, fragile or sharp
items between your person and the
seat belt. In an impact, the pressure
from the seat belt on such items can cause
them to break, which in turn may cause death
or serious injuries.
Each belt assembly must only be used
by one occupant; it is dangerous to
put a belt around a child being carried
on the occupant's lap.
The occupants of the front seats
should not travel with the seat back at
more than 30 degrees from upright.
Doing so will reduce the protection afforded by
the seat belt.
WARNINGS
Seat belts should be worn by all
vehicle occupants, for every journey,
no matter how short. Failure to do so,
will greatly increase the risk of death or
serious injury in the event of an accident.
Never wear just the la p belt or just the
shoulder belt of a lap/shoulder
diagonal seat belt. Both of these
actions are extremel y dangerous and may
increase your risk of injury.
No modifications or additions should
be made by the user which will either
prevent the seat belt adjusting
devices from operating to remove slack, or
prevent the seat belt assembly from being
adjusted to remove slack.
A slack seat belt offers a greatly reduced level
of occupant protect ion in an impact.

Seat belt checks
Note: If the vehicle is parked on an incline, the
seat belt mechanism may lock. This is not a
fault and the belt should be gently eased out
from the upper anchorage.
The seat belts should be inspected regularly to
check for fraying, cuts or wear to the webbing,
and the condition and security of the
mechanism, buckles, adjusters, and mounting
points.
• With the seat belt fastened, give the
webbing near the buckle a quick upward
pull. The buckle must remain securely
locked. •
With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the
seat belt to the limit of its travel. Check that
it unreels smoothly with no snatches or
snags. Allow the belt to fully retract, again
checking for smooth operation.
• Partially unreel the seat belt, then hold the
tongue plate and give a quick forward pull.
The mechanism must lock and prevent any
further unreeling.
If any of the seat belts fail to meet those
criteria, immediately contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.
SEAT BELT REMINDER
If the driver's seat belt is not
fastened when the vehicle is in
motion, a chime will be heard and
the seat belt warning i ndicator will illuminate.
The warning chime and indicator will also be
activated if the front passenger seat is
occupied without the seat belt being fastened.
Note: Objects placed on the front passenger
seat may activate the seat belt reminder
warning chime and i ndicator. It is
recommended that any objects placed on the
front passenger seat are secured using the seat
belt.
If any damage, wear, cuts, defects or
impaired operation are noted with the
seat belts, the vehi
cle should be taken
to a Dealer/Authorised Repairer for immediate
attention. Do not use th e vehicle if the seat
belts cannot be operated correctly.
When using seat belts to restrain
items other than occ upants, take care
to ensure that the belts are not
damaged, or exposed to sharp edges.
Care must be taken to avoid
contaminating the seat belt webbing
and seat belt mechanisms with any
chemicals, liquids, gr it, dirt or cleaning
products. If the seat belts do become
contaminated, they should be replaced
immediately. Contaminat ed seat belts my not
operate correctly in an impact and cannot be
relied upon.
The use of comfort clips, or devices
that would create slackness in the
seat belt system, is not advised.

USING SEAT BELTS DURING
PREGNANCY
Position the lap strap comfortably across the
hips beneath the abdomen. Place the diagonal
part of the seat belt be tween the breasts and to
the side of the abdomen. Ensure that the seat
belt is not slack or twisted.
FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS
1. Draw the belt out smoothly, ensure that the
belt height, the seat , and your position on
the seat are correct. The belt should lay flat
across the pelvis, ches t, and mid-point of
the collar bone between the neck and
shoulder.
2. With the seat belt correctly positioned,
place the metal tongue into the buckle
nearest to you. Press it in until a click is
heard.
Releasing the seat belts
Note: When releasing the seat belt it is
advisable to hold the belt before pressing the
release button. This will prevent the belt from
retracting too quickly.
To release the seat belt, press the red button.
WARNINGS
Position the seat belt correctly for the
safety of the mother and unborn
child. Never wear just the lap strap,
and never sit on the lap strap whilst using just
the shoulder strap. Both of these actions are
extremely dangerous a nd may increase your
risk of serious injury in the event of an accident
or during emergency braking.
Never place anything between you
and the seat belt in an attempt to
cushion the impact in the event of an
accident. It can be da ngerous and will reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt in preventing
injury.

SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
1.Press to release the catch.
2. With the catch depressed move the
mechanism slide up or down to the
required height. Ensure that the locking
mechanism has engaged.
When correctly positione d the seat belt should
cross the collar bone at the mid-point between
the neck and end of your shoulder.
Where possible, rear seat passengers should
adjust their seating pos ition to achieve the
same seat belt position.
WARNING
Correct seat belt adjustment is
essential for safety and comfort.
Ensure that the height is correctly
adjusted and the mechanism is locked in place
before driving the vehicl e. Do not attempt to
adjust the seat belt height once the vehicle is
in motion. Doing so may cause you to loose
control of the vehicle, or incorrectly adjust the
seat belt.

Supplementary restraints system

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Introduction
In the event of a collision, the airbag control
unit monitors the rate of deceleration caused
by the collision. This information is then used
to determine whether airbags should be
deployed.
Airbag deployment is de pendent on the rate at
which the passenger compartment changes
velocity following the collision. The
circumstances affecting different collisions
(vehicle speed, angle of impact, type and size
of object hit, etc.), vary considerably and will
affect the rate of de celeration accordingly.
The Supplementary Restraint System (SRS)
components include:-
• SRS warning indicator.
• Rotary coupler.
• Airbag modules.
• Seat belt pre-te nsioners (front seat belts).
• Restraints control module.
• Crash sensors.
• Airbag wiring harnesses. The SRS is not designed to
operate as a result
of:
• Rear impacts.
• Minor front impacts.
• Minor side impacts.
• Heavy braking.
• Driving over bumps and pot holes.
Therefore, it follows that considerable
superficial damage to the vehicle can occur,
without causing the airbags to deploy.
