humidity or allow contac t with fluids. Do not
leave the transmitter exposed to direct
sunlight.
Irregular operation
If difficulty is experienced with remote keyless
entry, keyless entry, keyless starting or Jaguar
Smart Key operation, it may be caused by:
• Internal battery low voltage. Replace the
battery. See CHANGING THE REMOTE
CONTROL BATTERY (page 24).
• High levels of localised external electrical
interference, e.g. a radio transmitter.
• Until the battery can be replaced, or until
the vehicle is outside the area of electrical
interference, the Jaguar Smart Key must
be inserted into the starter control unit.
UNLOCKING AND DISARMING THE
VEHICLE

HEAD RESTRAINTS
For information on adjusting power-operated
head restraints, refer to the Electric seats
section. SeeELECTRIC SEATS (page 42).
Whiplash protection
Both front seats are equi pped with Active Head
Restraints (AHR), which reduce the risk of neck
and spinal injury (whiplash) in the event of a
rear impact. See WHIPLASH PROTECTION
(page 57).
Head restraint tilt adjustment
To adjust the angle of the head restraint, press
the locking button on the side of the restraint
(solid arrow) and move the restraint to the
desired position. Release the button to lock in
place.
The head restraint should be tilted so that it is
in close proximity to the back of the head, when
seated in the normal driving position.
WARNINGS
Head restraints are designed to
support the head, not the back of the
neck. The restraint must be
positioned correctly to restrain rearward
movement of the head in a collision. An
incorrectly adjusted head restraint increases
the risk of death or seri ous injury in the event
of a collision.
Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of the head restraint is above the
centre line of the head. An incorrectly
adjusted head restraint increases the risk of
death or serious injury in the event of a
collision. See SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION (page 41).
On front head restra ints, it is possible
to adjust the tilt of the head restraint
forwards or backwards. For greater
protection in the event of a collision, the head
restraint should be adjust ed so that it is as
close to the back of the head as is practical.
Do not drive, or carry passengers,
with the head restraints removed
from occupied seat s. The absence of
a correctly adjusted head restraint increases
the risk of death or seri ous injury in the event
of a collision.
Never adjust the head restraints while
the vehicle is in motion. An
incorrectly adjusted head restraint
increases the risk of death or serious injury in
the event of a collision.

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.

Repairer for advice.
WARNINGS
Replacement or maintenance of
Xenon lamps should only be carried

High voltage is required to ignite the
gas and metal vapour which are used
to power Xenon lamps. Contact with
this voltage can cause serious injuries.
Xenon lamp units operate at a very
high temperature. Ensure that the
lamp units have cooled before
attempting to touch them.
Xenon lamp units contain Mercury

Low screen wash
If the low washer fluid warning is on, the
windscreen wipers will not operate when the
wash/wipe is activated, even though there may
be washer fluid remaining in the reservoir
which is sprayed onto the screen. This is to
prevent damage to the wiper blades, scratching
of the glass or smearing dirt across the screen.
Normal, fast or single wipe can be selected
manually, to clear any spray from the
windscreen.
Timed jet function
If the timed jet func tion is configured,
the washer jets will only operate on the
up stroke of the wipers.
This function can be enabled/disabled by your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Drip wipe
If the drip wipe function is configured,
the wipers will operate four seconds
after a wash wipe cycle has finished, to
clear any remaining drips from the windscreen.
This function can be enabled/disabled by your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Blocked jets
If a washer jet becomes blocked, use a thin
strand of wire to unblock the jet by inserting
the wire into the jet. Ensure that the wire is
completely remove d after unblocking.
HEADLAMP WASHERS
Headlamp power wash operates automatically
with the windscreen wash, and will only
operate if the headlamps are switched on and
there is sufficient washer fluid in the reservoir.
Headlamp wash operates with every fourth
operation of the screen wa shers, provided that
ten minutes have elapsed since the last
operation of the headlamp washers.
Note: The power wash sequence is reset when
the headlamps or the ignition are turned off.
Note: Headlamp power wash is inhibited when
the low washer fluid warning is on.
CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES
The wiping edge of the blades should be
checked and cleaned periodically. Check the
blade rubber and replace the blade immediately
if cracks, splits or roughness are detected, to
prevent damage to the glass.
Clean the blade edge by wiping with a soft cloth
or sponge, using wa rm soapy water.
If the wipers fail to clear the windscreen when
operated, check the cond ition of the blade and
replace if necessary.
WARNING
Do not operate the washer jets during
adjustment. Windscreen washer fluid
may cause irritation to the eyes and
skin. Always read and observe the washer fluid
manufacturers instructions.
WARNING
Only use cleani ng products which
have been approved for use on
automotive glass and rubber.
Inappropriate products can cause smearing,
and increase glare.
