Seats
!WARNING:
1. Do not make adjustments when the vehicle is moving.
2. Front passengers must not ride with the seat fully reclined.
All seats, except the rear bench type,
are adjusted electrically by switches on
the side of the seat cushion. Adjustment
can be made with or without the ignition
key inserted.
Three different positions can be stored
and recalled by a memory system for
each seat. (Steering wheel, pedals and
door mirrors positions are also
memorised for the driver.) See Memory
Setting on page 3 - 31.
Note: It is advisable to move the seat to
the correct position in relation to the gear
lever and front and side vision before
adjusting the steering column, pedals,
mirrors and seat belt.
Front Seat Adjustment
Note: The full range of front seat
adjustments are: (
A ) – Backrest angle (recline) and headrest
height.
( B ) – Seat fore and aft position; cushion
height and front tilt:
• Move the switch forward or rearward to change the seat fore and aft
position.
• Move the centre or rear of the switch up or down to adjust cushion height.
• Move the front of the switch up or down to tilt the front of the cushion.
( C ) – Provides adjustable lumbar support
in the lower backrest. Either a 2-way or
4-way switch may be fitted:
• 2-way or 4-way switch: Press the
front or back of the switch to
increase/decrease lumbar support.
• 4-way switch only: Press the top of
the switch to increase higher lumbar,
decreasing lower lumbar support.
Press the bottom of the switch to
increase lower lumbar, decreasing
higher lumbar support. Press the front
of the switch to increase mid-lumbar
and the rear to decrease all lumbar
support.
( D ) – If specified, varies the cushion
extension. Moving the control will change
the distance between the front of the
cushion and the backrest.

Steering Column
Adjustment
!WARNING:
Do not adjust the steering column
whilst driving.
The steering column can be adjusted for
tilt and reach by operating the rotary/
joystick control switch (A ) on the left side
of the steering column.
1. Turn the switch to the ‘COLUMN’ or ‘AUTO’ position.
2. Move the switch forwards or backwards to adjust reach.
3. Move the switch up or down to tilt.
Three column positions may be stored
and recalled by the driver position
memory system. See Memory Setting
on page 3 - 31.
Entry/exit mode
Entry/exit mode provides automatic
movement of the steering column and
driver’s seat to allow easier entry to or
exit from the vehicle.
Entry/exit mode is selected by setting the
steering column adjustment switch to the
‘AUTO’ position ( B). Exit
– If the ignition key is in position ‘0’
and the driver’s door is opened or if the
ignition key is removed, the steering
column will move to the uppermost tilt
position. The seat will move rearwards
unless it is already 1.5 inches (4 cm) or
less from its fully rearward position when
it will not move any further back.
Entry – When the key is next inserted in
the ignition switch and the door is closed,
the steering column and seat will return
to their previous positions. If, however,
the memorised driver position has been
changed (using the door memory switch
or another integrated key), the steering
wheel and seat will move to the new
position. Caution: Do not use steering wheel
mounted security devices since
movement of the steering wheel in
entry/exit mode could result in
vehicle damage (e.g. the windscreen)
or possible injury to the occupant.
Note:
1. If the adjustment switch is moved
away from ‘AUTO’ whilst the steering
column is tilted away, the steering
column will move back to its
memorised position when the key is
next inserted in the ignition and
entry/exit mode is then cancelled.
2. If the adjustment switch is moved during entry/exit operation, steering
column movement will stop.

3 - 22 Before Driving
Driving Position
!WARNING:
Driver and front seat passenger
should always move their seats as far
rearwards as is practical.
Ideally, drivers should sit with at least
10 inches (25.4 cm) between the centre
of their breastbone and the cover of the
steering wheel air bag.
Since the risk zone at the time of
deployment is the first 2 to 3 inches
(5.5 cm – 7.5 cm) from the air bag cover,
sitting back 10 inches (25.4 cm) provides
a clear margin of safety. Very few drivers
are unable to achieve and maintain that
safety gap. The vast majority of drivers who do not
now sit that far back can change their
position and achieve that distance.
• If adjustable pedals are fitted, move
them towards the seat.
• Move your seat back as far as you can while still comfortably reaching the
pedals.
• Recline the back of your seat one or two notches from the upright
position. If reclining the back of your
seat makes it hard to see the road,
raise the seat.
• Tilt the steering wheel/column downwards so as to point the air bag
at your chest instead of your head and
neck. Adjust the steering wheel/
column fore/aft so that it extends
towards the driver as little as possible,
ensuring that the air bag has plenty of
room to deploy.
• Sit in the centre of the seat with the head as close to the head restraint as
possible. Note:
Seat, steering wheel and pedal
adjustment controls are described
elsewhere in this section.

Cruise (Speed) Control
The cruise (speed) control system can be
used by the driver to maintain a selected
vehicle speed above 17.5 mph (28 km/h)
without the driver having to use the
accelerator.
Switches on the steering wheel allow the
driver manual control of the system.
Brake operation also influences the cruise
control system. (
A ) – RESUME to resume the set speed
retained in memory.
( B ) – SET to set the speed or increase/
decrease the set speed when the speed
has been set.
( C ) – CANCEL cancels cruise control but
retains the set speed in memory.
Setting the Vehicle Speed
!WARNING:
Only use cruise control when
conditions are favourable,
for example, straight, dry, open roads
with light traffic.
When you are travelling at the speed you
require, which must be above 17.5 mph
(28 km/h), press the SET button.
Cruise control will engage and maintain
the set speed and you can remove your
foot from the accelerator pedal.
Note: Cruise control will automatically
disengage when the brake pedal is pressed
or when the vehicle speed falls below
16 mph (26 km/h).
Changing the Set Speed
There are three ways to change the set
speed:
1. Accelerate or decelerate to the desired speed then press the SET (+) button.
2. Increase or decrease the speed by pressing and holding either SET (+)
or (–) until the desired speed is
obtained, then release the switch.
3. Increase or decrease the speed in steps of 1 mph (2 km/h) by briefly
pressing either the SET (+) or (–) until
the desired speed is obtained.
Resuming the Set Speed
If the vehicle is accelerated above the set
speed, then the set speed will be resumed
when the accelerator pedal is released.
If CANCEL is pressed, or the brake pedal
is pressed, the cruise control will
disengage but the set speed memory will
be retained. Press RESUME and the
vehicle will return to the set speed.
Note: Cruise control will not resume at
speeds below 17.5 mph (28 km/h).
RESUME will not operate if the ignition
has been turned off.

4-54 On the Road
Changing the set speed
There are three ways to change the set
speed:
1. Accelerate or brake to the required speed and press the ‘SET +’ button.
2. Increase or decrease the speed by pressing and holding either the
‘SET +’ or ‘–’ button until the required
set speed is shown on the message
centre. The vehicle speed will
gradually change to the selected
speed.
3. Increase or decrease the speed in steps of 1 mph (2 km/h) by briefly
pressing the ‘SET +’ or ‘–’ button.
ACC operates between approximately
20 mph and 110 mph (34 km/h and
180 km/h) dependent on the country
specification.
Set speeds outside this range will not be
captured.
The ACC may apply the brakes to slow
down the vehicle to the new set speed.
The new set speed will be displayed on
the message centre for four seconds after
it has been changed. Changing the gap
The gap from the vehicle ahead can be
decreased or increased by pressing the
gap setting rocker switch on the steering
wheel. Four gaps are available and the
selected gap setting will be displayed on
the message centre when the rocker
switch is pressed. After the ignition is
switched ON the default gap will be
automatically selected ready for ACC
operation.
Note:
It is the driver’s responsibility to
select a gap appropriate to the driving
conditions, and in accordance with
national driving regulations.
ACC automatic switch off
Adaptive cruise control will disengage,
but not clear the memory when:
• The CANCEL button is pressed.
• The brake pedal is pressed.
• The vehicle speed falls below 18 mph (30 km/h).
• Neutral, Park or Reverse gear positions are selected.
• The parkbrake is applied.
• DSC is activated. Adaptive cruise control will disengage,
and clear the memory when:
• The ignition switch is set to
position ‘0’.
• Maximum vehicle speed is reached.
• A fault occurs in the ACC system.
Resuming the set speed/follow mode
By pressing the RESUME button after ACC
has been cancelled, for example, after
braking, the ACC will become active
again provided that the set speed
memory has not been erased. The set
speed will be displayed for four seconds
and the original set speed will be
resumed, unless a vehicle ahead causes
the follow mode to become active.
Caution: ‘RESUME’ should only be
used if the driver is aware of the set
speed and intends to return to it.

4-58 On the Road
Vehicle Suspension
This vehicle is fitted with a fully
automatic air suspension system.
It ensures that the vehicle is always at the
correct ride height with varying load
conditions, including luggage
compartment load or when towing.
The system will automatically adjust the
amount of air in the springs to level the
vehicle. Air is supplied either from an air
reservoir or a compressor.
The compressor will run periodically to
refill the reservoir.
Changes in ambient temperature will also
have an effect on vehicle height when the
vehicle is parked.
Caution:
1. Do not overload the vehicle. Vehicle load weights are shown
on page 8 - 4.
2. A slight air loss is expected over time causing the vehicle to lower,
so do not store or place anything
under the vehicle if it is to be left
for an extended period. Speed lowering
When driving at motorway speeds,
the system will lower the vehicle to
improve aerodynamics and vehicle
stability. The suspension will
automatically return the vehicle to the
normal height when the vehicle slows.
Caution: Speed lowering is
undesirable when towing.
Only Jaguar approved towing
equipment will not allow this feature.
Warning messages
If the message ‘VEHICLE TOO LOW’ is
displayed when the ignition is switched
on, start the engine and wait for the
suspension to raise. The vehicle should
not be driven until the message is
cleared.
If the message ‘VEHICLE TOO LOW’ is
displayed when driv
ing, restrict the
vehicle speed and wait for the system to
regain the correct height and the message
will then clear. If the message is displayed
frequently, it is advisable to inform your
Retailer to have the system attended to.
If the message ‘AIR SUSPENSION FAULT’
is displayed at any time, drive with
caution. Have the vehicle checked by a
Retailer at the earliest opportunity.
Note: If your vehicle needs to be
recovered by a roadside emergency
service ensure that the vehicle is securely
lashed by the wheels and NOT the body.

4-62 On the Road
Towing a Trailer
Your Jaguar Retailer, and the main
motoring organisations can advise you on
towing, towing weight capacities and
about regulations that apply in other
countries.
The following are important points of
safety, stability and comfort upon which
further advice should be sought:
• Maximum braked towing weight is permissible, provided long periods of
uphill driving on gradients over 8%
are not undertaken.
• In high altitude mountainous regions, the thinner atmosphere can reduce
engine performance. Above 3280 feet
(1000 metres) the stipulated
maximum permitted gross train
weight must be reduced by 10% for
every 3280 feet (1000 metres) in
altitude.
• The kerbside weight of the vehicle can be found on page 8 - 4.
• When towing at the maximum permissible rear axle load keep within
legal towing speeds but in any case do
not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h). • Tyres must be inflated to the normal
(higher) pressures shown on the tyre
pressure label on the fuel filler flap.
• The recommended maximum tow-ball nose weight is shown
on page 8 - 5. Having a lower nose
weight or exceeding the maximum
nose weight limit may impair the
vehicle’s handling.
• When towing, the nose weight of the trailer and the tow-bar assembly must
be deducted from the permissible
maximum load, see page 8 - 5.
• Avoid heavy braking. As the overrun brake on the traile r is not connected
to the ABS, heavy trailer braking
could critically affect the stability of
the outfit as a whole.
• Ensure that the towing vehicle’s engine, transmission, suspension,
brakes and tyres are fully efficient and
regularly serviced. Similarly check the
wheels, tyres, brakes and wheel
bearings of the trailer. Caution:
1. When not in use, it is
recommended that the removable
tow-ball is either securely stowed
in the luggage compartment or,
preferably, not in the vehicle.
Do not leave it loose in the
vehicle.
2. It is essential that only a Jaguar tow-bar and Jaguar electrical tow-
bar kit are supplied and fitted by a
Jaguar Retailer. Contact your
Jaguar Retailer for details of
additional parts that are advised
to be fitted before towing. This is
particularly important with this
vehicle having air suspension.
If unapproved towing equipment
is used whilst towing, the air
suspension speed lowering
function will not be inhibited.
This may result in a change in
trailer weight distribution and
attitude.

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.

1. Please note th e temporary-use
spare wheel warning label on the
wheel. Adhere to instructions on
the label. Failure to comply can be
dangerous.
2. When a temporary spare wheel is fitted, drive with caution and
replace with the specified wheel
and tyre as soon as possible.
3. Do not fit more than one temporary-use spare wheel and
tyre assembly at a time.
4. The temporary-use spare wheel must be inflated to the correct
pressure.
5. Temporary-use spare wheel maximum speed is 80 km/h
(50 mph).
