Luggage Compartment Emergency Release
Your vehicle is equipped with a mechanical interior luggage 
compartment release handle that provides a means of escape 
for children and adults in the event they become locked inside 
the luggage compartment.
Adults are advised to familiaris e themselves with the operation 
and location of the release handle.
To open the luggage compartment lid from the inside, pull the 
illuminated ‘T’ shaped handle and push up the trunk lid.

Unsupervised children could lock themselves in an 
open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught 
not to play in vehicles.
2. On hot days, the temperature in the luggage  compartment and vehicle interior can rise very 
quickly. Exposure of people  or animals to these high 
temperatures for even a short time can cause death or 
serious heat-related injuries, including brain damage. 
Small children are particularly at risk.

Door Mirrors
Both door mirrors are adjusted from the 
driver’s door switchpack.
The four-way adjustment button (A) 
moves the mirrors to the required 
position. The selector switch ( B) selects 
the mirror to be moved, left for the 
left-hand side mirror and right for the 
right-hand side mirror. When the selector 
switch is in the centre position, 
adjustment to either  mirror is inhibited.
The mirror housings are designed to pivot 
against the vehicle upon impact. 
To return the mirror to its normal 
position, manually re position the housing 
until it locks into place.
At night, the approach lamps in the door 
mirrors also switch on automatically 
when reverse is selected.
Mirror heating
The door mirrors have heating elements 
which work when the rear screen heater 
is switched ON. The mirror heater will 
clear all ice from the mirror surface.
Caution: Do not use a scraper to 
remove ice from the mirrors as this 
will damage the surface. Door mirrors – power foldback
To assist parking by reducing the overall 
vehicle width, this optional feature 
enables the door mirrors to be folded 
back. Press button (
C) to fold the mirrors 
inwards and press again to return the 
mirrors to their normal driving position.
Do not attempt to re position powerfold 
manually. Always use the button.
Electrochromic door mirrors
The switch on the interior mirror controls 
the electrochromic function for both door 
and interior mirrors. Impact to door mirrors
If a door mirror is knocked out of position 
the mirror head will be loose. 
To re-engage the mechanism, power the 
mirror to the foldback position, then 
outwards to the drive position.
Caution: If door mirrors have been 
folded against the vehicle due to an 
impact:
• Reposition power foldback 
mirrors using the door switches.
• Reposition non- power foldback 
mirrors manually.
Mirror dip when reversing
Note: Vehicles are not normally 
delivered with this feature but it can be 
fitted by your Retailer.
When reverse gear is selected, one or 
both door mirrors incline downwards to 
provide a close up view of the rear side 
areas.
When the gear selector is moved out of 
reverse, the mirrors return to their 
original positions.

Interior Rear View Mirror
The interior rear view mirror is of the 
electrochromic type but electrochromic 
operation may be switched on or off at 
the mirror.
When switched on, the mirror darkens 
automatically to prevent glare from a 
following vehicle’s headlamps, and clears 
when light levels return to normal or 
when reverse gear is selected.
Electrochromic door mirrors are operated 
in conjunction with the interior mirror by 
the same buttons an d function in the 
same manner.
Note:
1. Should a mirror assembly become  detached from the windscreen, it must 
be refitted by a Jaguar Retailer.
2. Ensure that the windscreen in front of  the mirror is kept clean. Where fitted, 
the moisture sensor for wiper 
operation is located to the front of the 
mirror casing. Any dirt may affect the 
operation of this sensor. Electronic road toll systems
If you have an E-ZPass or other electronic 
road toll transponder, it is advisable to 
mount the transmitter 
on the windscreen 
about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the mirror 
mount and headlining and to the side of 
the mirror ensuring that it does not cover 
the forward-facing light sensor. This also 
keeps it away from any metal which may 
affect it’s operation.
Do not move the tag more often than 
need be as it can affect the calibration of 
the compass.
Electrochromic operation
To switch on, press the MIRROR button. 
An LED lights up to indicate that 
automatic operation is selected.
Press again to switch off. Compass operation
When switched on, the compass display 
on the right-hand side of the mirror 
surface shows the direction the vehicle is 
pointing. Eight main directions can be 
displayed, e.g. ‘N’ for north, ‘SW’ for 
south west.
To switch on:
 Press the COMP button. 
Press again to switch off.
