Security Features
The security system has been designed 
for:
• Prevention of theft of the vehicle.
• Prevention of theft of items from the vehicle.
• Personal security.
The security system is integrated with the 
vehicle electronics and engine 
management systems making it far more 
difficult for a thief to penetrate and steal 
the vehicle.
Panic Alarm (if enabled)
When in or near the vehicle, the alarm 
can be set off to dete r a possible offender. 
For this feature to operate, the key must 
not be in the ignition switch.
Pressing the headlamp convenience/panic 
button on the key transmitter three times 
within three seconds will activate the 
‘Panic Alarm’.
The alarm is stopped by:
• Putting the key into the ignition  switch and turning to position ‘II’.
Note:
1. The key transmitter cannot be used to  cancel the Panic alarm. This prevents 
unauthorised cancellation in an 
emergency.
2. The panic alarm is normally enabled.  If required, this feature can be 
disabled or enabled by a Jaguar 
Retailer.
3. The vehicle locking status will not  change when the panic alarm is 
activated.
Passive Arming (Retailer 
Option)
Passive arming wi ll not lock the 
doors, it only arms the security alarm 
system.
Passive arming, if enabled by a Jaguar 
Retailer, will automatically arm the 
vehicle alarm system 30 seconds after the 
last protected entry (door, luggage 
compartment) is closed following the key 
being removed from th e ignition switch.
When passive arming occurs the direction 
indicators will flash once and a single 
tone will be heard (if enabled). The red 
security light on the fascia will start to 
flash and will continue for as long as the 
alarm is armed.
Opening the drivers door causes a 
warning sound which continues for 
15 seconds before the system goes into 
the full alarm state. If any other door is 
opened before the drivers door, 
the system goes into  the full alarm state 
immediately.
When the system is pa ssively armed and a 
key is used to open the trunk, a seven 
second warning audible ticking will 
sound before the full alarm is activated.

Before Programming
Caution: When programming a 
garage door opener or entry gate that 
may require you to press and re-press 
the hand-held transmitter (cycle), 
unplug the device during the ‘cycling’ 
process to prevent possible motor 
failure.
It is recommended that for best results, 
fit a new battery to the hand-held 
transmitter of the garage door opener 
(or other device) before programming. 
If your garage door opener receiver 
(located in the garage) is equipped with 
an antenna, ensure that the antenna is 
hanging straight down.

on the garage door opener in the 
overhead console. Keep the buttons 
pressed, the indicator light will 
illuminate. The indicator light is part 
of the middle button in the garage 
door opener in the overhead console.
3. Release the buttons  when the lights 
begin to flash (this will take 
approximately 20 seconds).
All memories in the garage door opener 
have now been cleared.
Note: Do not perform this procedure 
when programming the additional garage 
door opener buttons.
Programming the Vehicle
Ensuring that the engine is switched off:
1. Turn the ignition switch to position ‘I’.

Warning Lights
Warning lights are arranged within the 
instrument cluster.
There are two warning lights, one red, 
the other amber, located above the 
message centre for primary and 
secondary status of the warnings 
displayed by the message centre.
‘RED’ warning lights are for primary 
warnings. A primary warning must be 
investigated immediately by the driver or 
a Jaguar Retailer.
‘AMBER’ warning lights are for secondary 
warnings when the driver must take 
action and then report the fault to a 
Retailer at the earliest opportunity.
Other lights within the instrument cluster 
indicate system status, such as blue for 
main beam and green for direction 
indicators, when in operation. Lamp check
A lamp check is initiated when the 
ignition is switched ON and lasts for
