Halogen Low/high Beam Headlamp

The halogen low/high beam headlamp uses a projector lens, similar to the xenon headlamp. The projector module comprises
an ellipsoidal lens and a reflector. The projector reflector collects the light produced by the halogen bulb and projects the light
into a focal plane containing a shield. The contour of the shield is projected onto the road by the lens. The low/high beam
bulbs are quartz halogen and are retained in the headlamp unit with conventional wire retaining clips.

A tourist lever mechanism is located on the right hand side of the projector module. This mechanism moves a flap to blank off
a portion of the beam spread to enable the vehicle to be driven in opposite drive hand markets without applying blanking
decals to the headlamp lens. The beam is changed by removing the access cover at the rear of the lamp assembly and moving
a small lever located near the bulb holder, at the side of the projector.
Halogen High Beam Headlamp - Xenon and Halogen
The xenon and halogen headlamps use a complex surface reflector for the halogen fill in high beam lamp only lighting unit,
which is of the same design on both headlamp types. This type of reflector has the reflector divided into separate parabolic
segments, with each segment having a different focal length.

The high beam headlamp bulbs are quartz halogen and are retained in the headlamp unit with conventional wire retaining
clips.
Cornering Lamps


NOTE: The cornering lamps are not fitted to NAS vehicles.

The cornering lamps are an optional feature designed to illuminate the direction of travel when cornering at low speeds. The
design of the lens projects a spread of light from the vehicle at approximately 45 degrees to the vehicle axis. The cornering
lamp is incorporated into the headlamp assembly and shares the same housing as the low beam headlamp. The cornering lamp
uses a 35W Halogen H8 bulb which is permanently located in an integral holder which is connected on the headlamp housing.
The holder is located in an aperture in the headlamp housing and rotated to lock. The bulb is accessible via a removable cover
on the base of the headlamp housing.

The cornering lamps are controlled by the LH steering column multifunction switch with the lighting control switch in the headlamp position and the ignition in power mode 6. The cornering lamps are supplied power via the ignition circuit to ensure
that they do not function with the headlamp delay feature. The cornering lamps are deactivated if the vehicle speed exceeds
25 mph (40 km/h). Only one cornering lamp will illuminate at any one time. If the left hand turn signal indicators are selected
on, the left hand cornering lamp will be illuminated and vice versa, providing the vehicle speed and lighting control switch
positions are correct.
Static Bending Lamps


NOTE: The static bending lamps are not fitted to NAS vehicles.

The static bending lamps are designed to illuminate the direction of travel when cornering at low speeds. The static bending
lamp functionality, which is controlled by the CJB and the headlamp leveling module, operates using inputs from the steering angle sensor and vehicle speed information from the ABS (anti-lock brake system) module. The static bending lamp is
incorporated into the headlamp assembly and shares the same housing as the low beam headlamp. The design of the lens
projects a spread of light from the vehicle at approximately 45 degrees to the vehicle axis. The static bending lamp uses a
35W Halogen H8 bulb which locates in a holder which is connected via wires to the main connector on the headlamp housing.
The holder is located in an aperture in the headlamp housing and rotated to lock. The bulb is accessible via a removable cover
at the rear of the headlamp housing.

The static bending lamps operate with a steering angle sensor CAN bus signal which is received by the CJB. The CJB monitors this signal and vehicle speed and activates the static bending lamp bulb. When the operation parameters of the lamp are
reached, the CJB fades the static bending lamp bulb on using a PWM (pulse width modulation) voltage over a period of approximately 2 seconds. When the lamp is switched off, the CJB fades the bulb off by decreasing the PWM voltage in a linear manner depending on steering angle and vehicle speed. The cornering lamps can only be active for a maximum of 3 minutes.


NOTE: Static bending lamps only operate when the transmission is in DRIVE or in SPORT.

Turn Signal Indicators

The turn signal indicator lamp is incorporated into the outer part of the headlamp assembly. The turn signal indicator lamp
uses a PY21W bayonet orange colored bulb in ROW markets, a S8W 27/7W wedge bulb is used in NAS markets. The bulb is
fitted into a holder which connects with contacts in the headlamp housing. The holder is fitted into an aperture in the
headlamp housing and rotated to lock into position.

When active, the turn signal indicator lamps will flash at a frequency cycle of 380ms on and 380ms off. If a bulb fails, the
remaining turn signal lamps bulbs continue to flash at normal speed. The turn signal indicators in the instrument cluster will
flash at double speed to indicate the bulb failure to the driver.
Side Lamps

The side lamp is located between the headlamp projector module and the high bean headlamp. The side lamp uses a W5W
wedge fitting bulb which locates in a holder which connected via wires to the main connector on the headlamp housing. The
holder is a push fit into a receptacle in the headlamp housing. The bulb is accessible by removal of the inner cover on the rear
of the headlamp housing. Access to the bulb requires removal of the headlamp from the vehicle. The side lamps are operated
by selecting side lamps or headlamps on the lighting control switch. The side lamps are functional at all times and are

Module Communications Network - Communications Network - Overview
Description and Operation

OVERVIEW

A number of different types of communication network are incorporated into the vehicle wiring harnesses for the transmission
of commands and information between control modules. The configuration installed on a particular vehicle depends on the
model and equipment level.


NOTE: The control diagrams shown later in this section are schematics reflecting communications networks fitted to LH
(left-hand) vehicles only. For detailed layouts of the various communications networks fitted to LHD (left-hand drive) and RHD
(right-hand drive) vehicles, refer to the Electrical Guide.
The communications networks available on the vehicle are shown in the table below.

Network Baud Rate LIN (local interconnect network) bus 9.6 kbits/s Medium speed CAN (controller area network) bus 125 kbits/s High speed CAN bus 500 kbits/s Media Orientated System Transport (MOST) ring 24 mbits/s

7 RH accelerometer 8 LH accelerometer 9 RJB (rear junction box) 10 BJB (battery junction box)
System Operation
The pedestrian protection system is operational when the vehicle is traveling at speeds between approximately 20 km/h (12.4
mph) and 45 km/h (28 mph). A vehicle speed signal is received by the pedestrian protection system control module over the
high speed CAN bus.
The system is able to determine if contact is made with a pedestrian or another object, such as a traffic cone, using signals
from accelerometers mounted behind the front bumper. When the system determines contact is made with a pedestrian it fires
the actuators to lift the rear of the hood approximately 130 mm within 35 ms of the 'fire' signal.

When an impact condition is registered, the pedestrian protection system control module outputs an impact signal on the high
speed CAN bus. This signal is used by the RJB to initiate the hazard warning lamps. If this occurs, the hazard warning lamp switch is disabled for the remainder of the current ignition cycle.

If the pedestrian protection system control module detects a fault with the system, it outputs a message on the high speed
CAN bus to the instrument cluster message center. On receipt of this, the message center will display the message 'CHECK PEDESTRIAN SYSTEM'.

The pedestrian protection system control module also stores the VIN (vehicle identification number). If a new control module
is fitted to the vehicle the Jaguar approved diagnostic tool must be used to program the unit with the vehicles VIN.
When the vehicle is delivered from the factory the pedestrian protection system is in a 'safe' plant mode. Normal operating
mode should be activated using the Jaguar approved diagnostic tool during the Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) prior to delivery
to the customer. For additional information, refer to the PDI manual.

If any damage is caused to the front of the vehicle, be it cosmetic or structural, repairs must be carried out in line with the
processes contained in the workshop manual. Failure to carry out the correct repair process could compromise operation of the
pedestrian protection system. Refer to GTR for the latest information.

The vehicle must be left for 1 minute after disconnecting the battery before any work can be carried out on the pedestrian
protection system.

Failure Mode Detection

In service, if any fault is detected, or any part of the system is recognized as not being present, the message center displays
the warning 'Check Pedestrian System'.

The bonnet deployment actuators are non-serviceable components, and if they must be replaced due to a fault, or due to
having been deployed, or following any other accident, their barcode labels must be read and recorded in the service database
against the vehicle VIN for security purposes.

After deployment of the pedestrian protection system, the vehicle must be stopped as soon as it is safe to do so. The hazard
warning lamps will be activated and can only be switched off by pressing the engine START/STOP button to turn the engine off
and on again. A warning message 'CHECK PEDESTRIAN SYSTEM' will appear on the message center and the vehicle should be
transported to the nearest dealer/authorised repairer. The vehicle must not be driven when the bonnet has been deployed.


NOTE: If the warning message 'CHECK PEDESTRIAN SYSTEM' appears in the message center when the bonnet has not
been deployed, the vehicle should be taken to the nearest dealer/authorised repairer immediately. It can be driven.

If any significant damage occurs to the front bumper it should be inspected by a dealer/authorised repairer as soon as
possible.



CONTROL MODULE Component Description

The control module is mounted below the hood release lever behind the side trim in the left hand front footwell.

The deployment signal is received from the pedestrian protection system control module. The second-generation system
adopted for XF is all-new to Jaguar and, although similar, differs from that introduced on XK by having an accelerometer-based
sensing system rather than a contact-sensing system. The accelerometer-based system is supplied by Bosch. Mounted very
close to the skin of the bumper, it examines the characteristics of vibration waves caused by impact. Its response time is
quicker, because it does not rely on the front of the bumper being loaded. It uses the 'saved' time to make more complex
decisions, and so has fewer error states. The speed of vehicle and the length of the bonnet define the time available to get
the bonnet into its deployed and stabilized position. It is possible, therefore, to create a time-line counting back from the
predicted moment of head impact to the time when the deployment signals need to be sent. That in turn defines a time from
first contact to decision time.

Body Repairs - Corrosion Protection - Corrosion Protection
Description and Operation

General Published: 11-May-2011

The corrosion protection provided in production must be carefully maintained and/or reproduced during and after body repair
work. It is only then that the long-term warranty against penetrative corrosion damage can be assured.

Only Jaguar original bodywork components and Jaguar approved repair materials, (sealer, paint etc.), are to be used for
bodywork repairs.
Jaguar Original Parts



All Jaguar bodywork components have a cathodic base coating. Individual bodywork components are zinc plated on one or both
sides, (in different areas depending on vehicle model).

Together with elastic paint coating, this guarantees an optimum, highly resistant protection against corrosion caused by the
impact of small objects such as gravel.


NOTE: If possible, the individual protective layers, (zinc, cathodic base coat), on Jaguar bodywork components must not
be damaged or destroyed by sanding or other mechanical operations.

If hairline cracks at "bodywork connection areas" appear after reshaping work, (e.g. at door hinges), it must be ensured that
the corrosion protection provided in production is recreated. The complete paint covering must be re-created if necessary. The
same applies to reshaping work on heavily profiled bodywork components, (e.g. floor pan). Renew or touch-up the paint
coating, sealing beads and underbody protection as necessary.

After repair, any interior surfaces which are no longer visible or accessible must be primed before cavity wax is applied. To be
certain of an even coating on inner surfaces, careful application of spray, (twice, with drying time in-between), must be carried
out throughout the whole cavity.

If bodywork panels are strongly heated during repair work, this will invariably result in damage to or even destruction of the
applied corrosion protection material. The effectiveness of the cavity protection material is reduced if heating occurs.
Reworking of the affected areas is therefore vital.
Welded areas should be made good before corrosion protection is applied.

The corrosion protection measures to be taken when bodywork components are renewed are described on the following pages.

Corrosion Protection of New Components

All new components must be inspected for transport or storage damage such as scratches or dents. The following operations
may be necessary, depending on the extent of damage:
Undamaged New Component

Do not grind the cathodic primer.
Thoroughly clean with silicone remover and rub dry.
Slightly Damaged New Component
Sand out scratches.
Finely sand the surrounding surface.
Thoroughly clean with silicone remover and rub dry.
Apply corrosion protection primer to bare areas.
Damaged New Components (bumps and dents)
Beat out the dented area and sand down to bare metal.
