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
three seconds (excepting the air bag
warning light which will remain on for
6seconds). Ifany wa
rning light remains
on after this period, investigate the cause
before driving.
Note: Not all lamps are included in the
lamp check, for example main beam
headlights or direction indicators.
Low Oil Pressure (RED)
This lights up with the ignition
switched ON and should go
out once the engine is running.
If the light remains ON once the engine
has started or comes ON whilst driving,
loss of oil pressure is indicated.
STOP the engine immediately and
investigate the cause.
Caution: Do not restart the engine
until the cause of loss of oil pressure
has been identified and rectified.
First check the engine oil level,
seepage7-6.

Master Lighting Rotary Switch
Positions
• OFF.
• Side (parking) lights.
• Headlights.
• Autolamps/exit delay.
!WARNING:
It is an offence in certain countries to
obscure front and rear lights,
direction indicators and reflectors. The exterior lights ar
e controlled by the
left-hand column stalk switch.
The rotary collar on the stalk has three
positions for turning th e exterior lights on
or off and positions for autolamps/exit
delay. These are:
OFF – All exterior lights OFF (except
vehicles provided with daylight running
lights).
Sidelights – Switches on front sidelights,
tail, number plate an d any other marker
lights required by local legislation.
When the external lights are ON the
instruments will also be lit.
Headlights – With the ignition in
position ‘II’, this position switches on
dipped headlights in addition to the lights
switched on in sidelight position.
The left-hand column stalk switch has
two positions for controlling the main
beam.
Pulling the switch towards the steering
wheel and releasing causes the main
beam to flash on and off. The main beam
can be flashed at any time when the
switch is pulled and will remain ON for
as long as the switch is held. The second position is to switch main
beam headlights ON. With the ignition in
position ‘II’, first select dipped beam
lights, and then push the column light
switch away from the steering wheel.
The blue warning light on the instrument
cluster and main be
am headlights will
come ON.
To turn main beam OFF, pull the column
switch towards the steering wheel to
return to dipped beam.
Note: If dipped beam is switched OFF
with main beam stil l activated, both
dipped and main beam will be
extinguished. Both dipped and main
beam will illuminate if dipped is turned on
again.
Autolamps – A light sensor control,
mounted on the front of the fascia,
monitors exterior light levels and
automatically switches the sidelights and
dipped headlights ON or OFF.
The ignition switch must be in
position ‘II’ and AUTO selected on the
stalk switch for full automatic light
operation.
When light fades towards dusk,
the sidelights and headlights will switch
ON automatically and the sidelight
warning light in the instrument cluster
will illuminate.

At dawn, as light increases, the sidelights
and headlights switch OFF automatically.
Do not cover the sensor and keep the
windscreen clean. Obstructing the light in
this area of the sensor may lead to
unwanted operation of the sidelights and
headlights.
Note:If the windscreen wipers are
switched on in auto, slow or fast modes
for more than 20 seconds then the
exterior lights will be switched on,
if selected to autolamps mode. The lights
will switch off 2 minutes after the wipers
are switched off or will go off straight
away if autolamps is deselected or the
ignition is turned off.
Exit delay
When parking the car at night, if the
headlights were switched on then they
will remain on for a short period after the
key has been removed from the ignition
switch. This is to give a clearly lit area for
occupants leaving the vehicle.
If the light switch rotary collar is in the
AUTO position there will be no exit delay
and the headlights will turn off when the
light switch is turned off. Three settings on the rotary collar set the
time that the lights will remain on after
the key is removed from the ignition
switch;
•10seconds.
•30seconds.
•2minutes.
Note:
The key must not be in the ignition
switch for this feature to operate.
The message centre shows the delay
setting or when this feature is turned off.

tail lights, number plate lights and side
marker lights will switch on automatically
with the following conditions:
• The ignition is turned to position ‘II’.
