2 Security and Locks
Ignition Switch
The fascia-mounted ignition switch,
on the right-hand side of the steering
column, has four key positions:
0.Ignition OFF – This is the only
position in which the key can be
inserted and removed.
I. Auxiliary – Allows use of some
electrical circuits, for example, radio
and window oper ation (accessory
delay only).
II. Ignition ON – All electrical circuits
except the starter motor are
activated. The key remains in this
position when driving. III.
Engine start – The starter motor is
operated for as long as the key is held
in this position, against spring
pressure.
When the key is turned back to the OFF
position, the delayed accessory feature
becomes active.
The circuits available in the auxiliary
position remain activated for a preset
timed period or until a front door is
opened.
To Remove the Ignition Key
Automatic transmissi on vehicles have a
key interlock feature.
Apply the electronic parkbrake, move the
gear selector to the Park ‘P’ position and
turn the key to position ‘0’.
The automatic transmis sion gear selector
must be placed in Park ‘P’ before the key
can be removed from the ignition switch.
When the key is removed, the gear
selector will be locked in Park.
Steering Column Lock
The steering column lock is controlled by
the ignition switch.
When the key is removed from the
ignition switch, you will hear the steering
column lock engage.
When the key is inserted into the ignition
switch, you will hear the steering column
lock disengage.
In rare circumstances, it may be
necessary to gently turn the steering
wheel from side to side to release the
steering column lock.
Gearshift Interlock
A brake pedal/gearshift interlock system
is incorporated in the automatic
transmission gear selector mechanism.
To move the gear selector from Park:
1. Turn the ignition key to position ‘II’ or start the engine.
2. Press the brake pedal.

On the Road 4 - 43
To Stop the Engine and Lock
the Steering
Turn the key from position ‘II’ to the
‘lock’ position ‘0’. This turns off the
ignition and stops the engine.
The steering will be locked when the key
is removed from the switch.
Leaving the key in position ‘I’ or ‘II’ will
discharge the battery.
Automatic Transmission
The ‘J’-gate gear selector lever is designed
to accommodate two different driving
techniques as follows:
• Automatic selection – the right-hand side of the selector gate.
• Manual selection – the left-hand side of the selector gate to individually
select 5th, 4th, 3rd, or 2nd gear.
Gearshift Interlock
A brake pedal/gearshift interlock system
is incorporated in the automatic gear
selector mechanism.
To move the gear selector from Park:
1. Turn the ignition key to position ‘II’ or start the engine.
2. Press the brake pedal.
3. Move the lever from Park.
Gear Selector Positions
!WARNING:
The parkbrake or brake pedal must
be applied before selecting forward
or reverse drive from a stationary
position.
P = Park – Use when parking. In this
position the transmission is locked.
Do not select if the vehicle is moving.
N = Neutral – Disconnects the driveline
from the engine. Use the parkbrake when
stopping temporarily.
Page 115 of 227
4-44 On the Road
Note:
1. After selecting forward or reverse drive ranges from Neutral or Park,
wait briefly for th e transmission to
engage before accelerating.
2. When in Neutral or Park the engine can only be a ccelerated to
4500 rev/min.
R = Reverse – Do not select if the vehicle
is moving forward.
The reversing lights come ON
automatically when reverse gear is
selected and the ignition switch is in
position ‘II’.
D = Drive – All six gears are changed
automatically as required by the throttle
position and road speed.
2, 3, 4, 5 = If selected, the transmission
operates automatically in second, third,
fourth or fifth gear but will not engage
gears higher than the one selected. Drive to fifth
When driving in gear position ‘D’ with
sixth gear engaged, the gear selector can
be shifted sideways across the gate to ‘
5’.
Provided that the vehicle’s speed is not
too great, the transmission will shift
down to fifth. Sixth gear will be inhibited
until the gear selector is moved back to
‘D’.
Hill climbing and engine braking
When driving on roads with long
downhill gradients, selecting ‘3’ or ‘2’
(depending on road/traffic conditions)
will give engine braking.
When the gear selector is moved
from ‘D’, ‘5’, ‘4’ or ‘3’ down to ‘2’,
downshift to second ge ar will only take
place at appropriate road speeds.
Reverse inhibit
Reverse is inhibited when the vehicle is
moving forward at speeds above 5 mph
(8 km/h).
Note: Reverse inhibit will not function in
limp-home mode. Kickdown
Kickdown is operated when the pedal is
pressed fully down, beyond the normal
operating range and against a spring
pressure, to provide maximum engine
performance. Kickdown is used in
circumstances where rapid acceleration is
required, such as when overtaking.
Kickdown causes the transmission to
change down to the lowest gear possible
to achieve maximum acceleration.
The gear engaged depends on the road
speed at the time of kickdown.
As well as shifting
down, the gearshift
points are extended to give greater
performance. This mode is in effect for as
long as the pedal is pressed fully down.

On the Road 4 - 45
Limp-home mode
In the unlikely event of an electrical or
mechanical failure, transmission
operation will be impaired. The vehicle
gear selector ranges P, R, N, D can still be
used to enable the vehicle to be driven to
a safe area. In this event consult a Jaguar
Retailer immediately.
!WARNING:
The driver should be aware that the
vehicle’s performance will be
reduced and must take this into
account when driving.
Sport Mode
The switch marked ‘S ’ on the ‘J’-gate
surround enables the driver to select
either normal or sport (S) modes.
When sport mode is selected the
automatic transmission will operate
normally, but the ge arshift points are
extended to make full use of the engine’s
power reserves.
To select ‘Sport’, press the switch. A red
light within the switch is illuminated to
indicate that sport mode has been
selected.
To cancel ‘Sport’, press the switch again. Note:
Both sides of the ‘J’-gate can be
used irrespective of the transmission
mode, e.g. with ‘S’ selected the
transmission can be operated in full
automatic or by manual selection.
In addition to norm al and sport modes,
the transmission control computer will
select shift patterns to suit specific
conditions.
Cruise Control – When cruise control is
operating at set speed the transmission
selects a shift pattern to suit cruise
control operation.
DSC – When DSC is switched ON and the
system is activated, the transmission
selects a shift pattern to suit traction
control conditions.
Gradients – When the vehicle is being
driven on roads with uphill gradients,
the transmission adapts the shift pattern
to make better use of engine power and
aid engine cooling.
Note: Under the conditions described,
the relevant transmission mode will
override the normal or sport modes
selected by the driver.
When such conditions no longer exist,
the transmission will revert to the shift
pattern previously selected by the driver,
that is, normal or sport.

General Driving
Information
!WARNING:
Ensure the parkbrake is on and the
automatic gear selector is in
position ‘P’ or ‘N’ before attempting
to start the engine.
Before driving off, check the gauges and
warning lights and messages. Take special
note of any warning light that is on.
Seat belts are provided for your safety
and it is unwise, and in certain countries
illegal, to commence any journey,
however short, without wearing them.
Warming Up
Do not operate the en gine at high speed
when first started but allow time for the
engine to warm up and the oil to
circulate.
Engine Braking On Downhill
Gradients
When driving on mountain roads with
long downhill gradients it is advisable to
select a low gear.
Running-in
Apart from a few precautionary
recommendations, there are no strict
‘running-in’ procedures for this vehicle.
By observing the following advisory notes
you will ensure maximum engine,
transmission and brake life for your
vehicle:
1. Allow the engine to warm up thoroughly before operating at engine
speeds over 3500 rev/min.
2. Vary the speed frequently.
3. From 940 miles (1500 kilometres) onwards, gradually increase
performance of the vehicle up to the
permitted maximum speed, where
road conditions permit. Running-in for brakes
To ensure that the brake pads can
‘bed-in’ evenly and reach their optimum
wear and performance condition, usually
within 300 miles (480 kilometres),
the following points are recommended.
1. Where possible, avoid heavy braking
or rough usage of the brakes as this
can result in damage being caused to
the brake pads and discs.
2. Avoid prolonged use of the brakes, for example, when descending severe
gradients.
3. Frequent light application of the brakes is desirable. This helps to fully
‘bed-in’ the brake pads before the
normal running-in period is
completed and the vehicle is operated
at high speeds, when maximum brake
efficiency will be required.
The above equally applies when new
discs or pads have been fitted.

6 - 4 Roadside Emergency
Trunk Underfloor Access
The space under the trunk floor houses
the spare wheel, battery, jack and rear
fuse box.
To raise the floor panel, press down the
rear of handle (A) then, holding the
handle at the front, swing the floor panel
upwards ( B). Hook the handle securely
over the top edge of the trunk
opening ( C).
Emergency Starting
This vehicle is fitted with automatic
transmission. In the event of a discharged
battery preventing a normal engine start,
the vehicle cannot be started by pushing
or towing. Either use jump leads
connected to a booster battery (e.g. on
another vehicle) or fit a fully charged
battery (see page 7 - 15).
Emergency Starting Using
Jump Leads
Both the booster and discharged battery
should be treated with great care when
using jump leads. Al ways use high quality
leads capable of carrying the starter
current of the vehicle to be started.
Before commencing, the following
precautions must be taken:
• When the battery of another vehicle is being used, ensure that the vehicles
do not touch. Alternatively, remove
the charged battery and place near to,
not on, the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
• Ensure that both vehicles have all electrical services OFF,
the parkbrakes applied and the
transmission in the ‘P’ (park) position.
• Where the jump leads are of a different colour, e.g. red and black,
use red for positive (+). This aids
identification and helps to avoid
crossing positive (+) to negative (–).
Take extra care to avoid crossing the
polarity when using cables of the
same colour.

6 - 12 Roadside Emergency
Transporter tie-down procedure
!WARNING:
Avoid body contact with a hot
exhaust pipe when securing the
vehicle to the transporter.
IMPORTANT – Use straps over the
wheels/tyres only, to secure the vehicle to
the transporter.
Caution: Do not use the tie-down
brackets on the vehicle rear
underbody; these are for Jaguar
factory use only. In time, with the
engine switched off, the vehicle body
will drop due to settling of the air
suspension system and cause the tie-
down chains/straps to become slack if
connected to these brackets.
The towing eye is not designed for
securing the vehicle during
transportation. Vehicle failure
The removable towing eye is primarily for
emergency use when towing for SHORT
DISTANCES, e.g. removing the vehicle if it
is causing an obstruct
ion or for winching
the vehicle onto a re covery transporter.
To prevent damage to the automatic
transmission whilst the vehicle is being
towed with the rear wheels on the
ground, towing distance must be
restricted to 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometres).
Towing speed must not exceed 30 mph
(48 km/h).
Always obey towing regulations.
In certain countries the registration
number of the towing vehicle and an
‘ON TOW’ sign or warning triangle must
be displayed in a prominent position at
the rear of the vehicle being towed. When being towed, the gear selector
lever must be in neutral (position ‘N’)
with the ignition key turned to
position ‘II’ to release the steering lock
and render the indicators, horn and
brake lights operational.
!WARNING:
When the engine is not running the
steering and brakes will no longer be
power-assisted.
Therefore, be prepared for relatively
heavy steering and the need for
greatly increased brake pedal
pressure.
