Park Distance Control
Caution: It remains the driver’s 
responsibility to detect obstacles and 
estimate the car’s distance from 
them. Some overhanging objects, 
barriers, thin obstructions or painted 
surfaces which could possibly cause 
damage to the vehicle may not be 
detected by the system. Always be 
vigilant when reversing.
Park distance control is always 
automatically switched on when the 
ignition is turned on.
Caution:
1. If, for example, you are driving into a confined space such as a 
home garage, the outer sensors 
will detect the side walls and after 
3 seconds will switch the tone off. 
However, as movement 
continues, the inner sensors will 
eventually detect the rear wall 
and will start the tone again.
2. The sensors are not active when  the gear selector is in neutral, 
therefore, take care if moving the 
vehicle as the tone will not be 
heard.
3. Do not clean the sensors with  abrasive or sharp objects. Note:
1. For reliable operation, the sensors in 
the front (if fitted) and rear bumpers 
should be kept free from frost, ice and 
grime.
2. When using a high pressure spray the  sensors should only be sprayed briefly 
and at least 8 inches (20 cm) distance 
from the sensors.
3. The front parking aid may sound  spurious tones if it detects a frequency 
tone using the same band as the 
sensors.
Rear Park Distance Control
When reverse gear is selected and 
ignition is on, rear park distance control 
automatically provides an audible 
proximity warning (to the nearest 
detected obstacle) when reversing the 
vehicle if obstacles are detected within 
the operating range, shown in the 
illustration above (between 
approximately 24 inches [60 cm] ( A) and 
63 inches [160 cm] ( B).

4-36 On the Road
Front and Rear Park Distance 
Control
When both front and rear park distance 
control are fitted, a switch is located in 
the overhead console.
Pressing the switch turns front and rear 
park distance control  on or off together. 
The switch integral warning lamp will 
come on when the system is turned off or 
if a fault is detected in the system. 
A switch is not provided when only rear 
park distance control is fitted.
Note: The front park distance control will 
also operate when reverse gear is 
selected. Front park distance control provides an 
audible proximity warning when driving 
forwards if objects are detected within 
the operating range shown in the 
illustration above (between 
approximately 24 inches [60 cm] (
A) and 
31 inches [80 cm] (C ) to the front of the 
vehicle). The front sensors only operate 
within a fixed speed range in forward 
gears and are not effective when moving 
forwards above 9mph (15km/h) or when 
slowing down until below 4½ mph 
(7 km/h).
If an obstacle is detected at the front or 
rear of the vehicle, a beep tone will be 
heard from the front or rear speaker 
respectively, which increases in rate as 
the vehicle approaches the obstacle. The front or rear park distance control 
beep will become co
ntinuous when the 
obstacle is detected at or within 
12 inches (30 cm) from the rear or 
approximate 10 inches (25 cm) from the 
front of the vehicle.
If the system has a fault when engaging 
reverse gear or turning on the ignition, 
then a single, three second tone will be 
heard (only once per ignition cycle) and, 
if fitted, the switch lamp will come on. 
The system is automatically disabled 
when a fault is detected.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
(Where fitted)
The adaptive cruise control system is designed to aid the driver 
to maintain a gap from the vehicle ahead or a set road speed if 
there is no slower vehicle ahead. The system is intended to 
provide enhanced operation of th e vehicle when following other 
vehicles which are in the same lane and travelling in the same 
direction.
!WARNING:
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision warning or 
avoidance system. Additionally , adaptive cruise control 
will not detect:
1. Stationary or slow moving vehicles below 6 mph  (10 km/h).
2. Pedestrians or objects in the roadway.
3. Oncoming vehicles in the same lane. The adaptive cruise control system is based on the use of a radar 
sensor which projects a beam directly forward of the vehicle so 
as to detect objects ahead. Th e radar sensor is mounted behind 
a cover on the left-hand side  of the lower cooling aperture, 
to provide a clear ‘view’ forward for the radar beam.
• Only use adaptive cruise control when conditions are  favourable, that is, straight, dry,  open roads with light traffic.
• Do not use in poor visibility,  specifically fog, heavy rain, 
spray or snow.
• Do not use on icy or slippery roads. 
Page 123 of 227

4-52 On the Road
• It is the drivers responsibility to stay alert, drive safely and be in control of 
the vehicle at all times.
• Keep the front of the vehicle free from  dirt, metal badges or objects, 
including vehicle front protectors, 
which may prevent the sensor from 
operating.
• Do not use ACC when entering or  leaving a motorway.
The system is operated by switches 
mounted on the steering wheel. 
The driver can also intervene at any time 
by use of the brake or accelerator pedals.
The steering wheel switches operate as 
follows:
(A ) – RESUME: Resume set speed.
( B )– SET+ or SET–: Setthe speed(+) or 
increase (+) or decrease (–) the set speed.
( C ) – CANCEL: Cancels without erasing 
memorised speed.
( D ) – Gap increase or decrease. Setting a speed
Accelerate as normal
 until the required 
speed is reached.
Press the SET + butto n briefly and the 
vehicle speed will then be stored in the 
memory and the system engaged. The set 
speed will be displayed on the message 
centre.
Entering the follow mode
!WARNING:
When in follow mode the vehicle will 
not decelerate automatically to a 
stop, nor will the vehicle always 
decelerate quickly enough to avoid a 
collision without driver intervention.
Once a set speed has been selected, 
the driver can release the accelerator and 
the set road speed will be maintained.

Forward alert
Limited detection and warning of objects 
ahead is provided during ACC operation 
by the ACC ‘DRIVER INTERVENE’ 
warning.
The forward alert feature additionally 
provides warnings whilst ACC is not 
engaged, if an object is detected close 
ahead then a warning tone and message 
will be issued. The brakes will not be 
applied.
This additional feature may be switched 
on or off using the forward alert switch in 
the lower outboard knee bolster 
switchpack. When the indicator lamp in 
the switch is on, forward alert is active.The sensitivity of the warning may be 
changed:
• Pressing the gap decrease button 
when ACC is disengaged displays and 
then decreases the sensitivity of the 
alert.
• Pressing the gap increase button  displays and then increases the 
sensitivity of the alert.
Both of these are accompanied by the 
FORWARD ALERT  message on 
the message centre.
ACC failure
If a fault occurs during operation of the 
system in cruise or follow modes, 
the ACC system will switch OFF and 
cannot be used until the fault is cleared. 
A red warning light and the message 
‘DRIVER INTERVENE’ appear briefly, and 
are then replaced by an amber warning 
light and the message ‘CRUISE NOT 
AVAILABLE’.
If failure of the ACC or any related system 
occurs at any other time an amber 
warning light will  be displayed 
accompanied by th e message ‘CRUISE 
NOT AVAILABLE’. It will not be possible 
to activate the ACC system in any mode. Accumulations of dirt, snow or ice on the 
on the sensor or cover may inhibit ACC 
operation. Fitting of a vehicle front 
protector or metallis
ed badges may also 
affect ACC operation.
If this occurs in ACC cruise/follow mode, 
the red warning light is displayed, 
the audible alarm sounds and the 
message ‘DRIVER INTERVENE’ appears 
briefly. These warnings are then replaced 
by the amber warning light and the 
message ‘ACC SENSOR BLOCKED’ is 
displayed. The system is no longer active.
Clearing the obstruction allows the 
system to return to normal operation. 
If the obstruction is present when ACC is 
inactive, e.g. on initial starting or with the 
ACC system switched off, the amber 
warning light will be displayed with the 
message ‘ACC SENSOR BLOCKED’.
Tyres other than those recommended 
may have different sizes. This can affect 
the correct operation of the ACC.

Climate Control 5 - 3
5 Climate Control
Introduction
The cabin is supplied with filtered air 
from a fully automatic electronic climate 
control system with manual overrides.
Two systems are available:
• A two zone system which allows the front occupants to set individual 
temperatures for the left and right 
sides of the interior.
• A four zone system which allows front  and rear occupants to set individual 
temperatures, i.e. two front zones and 
two rear zones.
Occupant controls
The main climate control panel is located 
in the centre console above the radio and 
audio controls. There are two types of 
control panel for either two or four zone 
systems:
• A dedicated control panel with LCD  (liquid crystal display) screen 
(see page 5 - 6).
• A multi-function touch control and  display unit shared with navigation 
and other systems. Where this control 
unit is fitted, refer to the Jaguar 
Touch-screen Handbook for the 
detailed operating instructions. Where the four zone climate control 
system is fitted, an additional control/
display panel for rear passenger use is 
located at the rear of the centre console, 
between the front seats.
Voice control
The climate control system may also be 
operated by spoken commands if the 
optional voice activation system is fitted. 
For full information on the use of this 
system refer to the JaguarVoice 
Handbook.
Recommended Operation
Automatic climate control
Automatic climate control provides 
efficient regulation of the vehicle 
environment without constant 
adjustments from the occupant.
Sensors inside the vehicle monitor 
temperature, humidity and direct 
sunlight. In response, the electronic 
control system automatically adjusts the 
heat input, blower speed, air intake and 
airflow distribution so as to maintain the 
selected temperature(s) and reduce 
misting.
Automatic operation provides optimum 
comfort under most driving conditions. It is recommended that automatic 
control (AUTO) is selected as the 
normal operating mode.
Use of air conditioning
Air conditioning is an integral part of the 
climate control system, providing cooled 
and dehumidified 
air for occupant 
comfort; the dry airflow is also effective 
in preventing misting of the windows.
While the air conditioner can be 
manually switched off, it is recommended 
that it is used in all climatic conditions 
throughout the year, preferably in AUTO 
mode.
Close all windows and the sunroof when 
the air conditioning is on to ensure 
satisfactory operation.
Use of air recirculation
The air conditioner/heater system is 
supplied with fresh air via an intake flap.
Closing the flap causes the air inside the 
vehicle to be recirculated. This helps to 
prevent unpleasant odours from being 
drawn into the vehicle and also to 
improve the performance of the air 
conditioner in very hot conditions. 
However, the use of recirculated air will 
cause screen misting after a short period 
and should only be used as necessary. 
Page 143 of 227

5 - 4 Climate Control
In AUTO mode, the air intake flap is 
controlled automatically. If required, 
air recirculation may be manually 
selected for either a short or indefinite 
period.
Air Recirculation
Timed air recirculationPress the button briefly to select 
timed air recirculation.
The fresh air intake is opened 
and the button LED extinguished at the 
end of the time out period.
Latched air re circulation
Press and hold the button for a 
few seconds to select latched air 
recirculation. Selection is 
indicated by the scre en symbol and two 
beeps.
Selecting latched air recirculation cancels 
AUTO operation.
To deselect latched air recirculation, 
press the recirculat ion button again, 
or select AUTO.
!WARNING:
To prevent humidity build up inside 
the vehicle and possible screen 
misting, avoid driving with the air 
conditioning system off or with 
manual air recirculation selected for 
prolonged periods.
General Points
To ensure the satisfactory operation of 
the climate control system, note the 
following points:
• Ensure that the external grille at the  base of the windscreen, which 
provides fresh air for the climate 
control system, is kept clear of leaves, 
snow or obstructions.
• A solar sensor is mounted on the  centre top of the fascia, as shown 
opposite ( A) .  E n s u r e  t h a t  this sensor is 
not covered.
• Temperature and humidity sensors  are located behind the small grille ( B). 
Do not cover or obstruct the opening.
• Air ducts under the front seats supply  the rear passenger footwells (see 
illustration opposite). Objects or 
material placed under the seats may 
block or obstruct the open ducts. • The external air intake to the air 
conditioner/heater system is fitted 
with a filter. Ensure that the filter is 
changed at the specified service 
intervals to maintain efficient 
operation.
• If the air conditioning system is not  used frequently, it should be run 
briefly at least once  each week, with a 
cold setting, to prevent the seals from 
drying out with subsequent 
refrigerant leaks.
• Moisture removed from the air by the  air conditioning unit is discharged 
onto the road underneath the vehicle. 
After stopping, puddles of water may 
form underneath the vehicle.
Air Distribution
The illustration opposite shows the 
location of the air vents within the 
vehicle. The airflow from the fascia face 
level vents is regulated using thumbwheel 
controls and adjustable direction vanes.
Air distribution between the windscreen, 
fascia and floor levels is selected 
automatically when operating in AUTO 
mode but can be selected manually.

Climate Control 5 - 9
Manual Air Distribution
Air distribution is automatically 
controlled in AUTO and defrost modes.Press MODE to select manual air 
distribution. 
Four air distribution modes are 
available and are selected in succession 
by pressing the MODE button. A symbol 
is displayed for the selected mode.
To Switch the System Off
Press in the blower rotary 
control knob to switch the 
climate control system off.
If the blower control knob is 
pressed again, the system will switch on 
in the previous mode set.
4-zone climate control system
If 4-zone climate control is fitted, 
switching off front climate control (above) 
will also cause the rear climate control 
system to be switched off. Switching the 
front system on again will not switch the 
rear system on.
Ram Air
With the climate control system switched 
off, air recirculation is automatically 
selected (intake flap closed). To select 
fresh air with the system off, press the 
MODE button to select one of the air 
distribution modes.
With the blower switched off, the fresh 
airflow results from the forward motion 
of the vehicle (ram air effect).
Smog sensing
Where fitted, the smog sensor detects 
road traffic pollutants and automatically 
selects air recirculation when the level of 
pollution outside the vehicle reaches a 
certain level. The level of pollution at 
which the smog sensor will respond can 
be adjusted.
Once the level of pollutants decreases, 
air recirculation will switch off (subject to 
the normal operation of the automatic 
climate control system).
To adjust smog sensitivity:  Press the 
air recirculation and AUTO buttons 
simultaneously. The display will show a 
number between 0 and 5: 0 indicates 
that the smog sensor is switched off, and 
5 shows that the sensor is set to its most 
sensitive setting. Use the driver’s 
temperature control bu ttons to increase 
or decrease the smog sensitivity.
Caution: Don’t set the smog sensor to 
a needlessly high level in cold and 
damp conditions: This could result in 
interior condensation.
