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.

Head Restraint Adjustment
!WARNING:
Adjust the head restraint so that it is
just behind your head and never
behind your neck.
All headrests may be manually tilted,
except those fitted with rear display
screens. Rear head restraint adjustment
The rear head restraints on vehicles
without electrically operated rear seats
may be manually adjusted.
To raise the outer rear seat headrests,
pull the headrest upwards. To lower,
press the lever in the escutcheon (shown
in the upper illustra
tion) and push the
headrest into the seat back.
Rear Seat Adjustment
Seats with individual backrests may be
adjusted electrically using the switches on
the sides of the seat cushions. Adjustment
can be made with or without the ignition
key inserted.
Seat adjustments are:
( A ) – Backrest recline and headrest
height.
( B ) – Adjustable lumbar support in the
lower backrest: Increase/decrease
support and up/down movement, as for
front seats.
For increased comfort, the front
passenger seat fore and aft movement
and backrest recline can be controlled
from the rear seat immediately behind,
using switch ( C). Note:
Operation of the front seat by a
rear seat passenger and rear seat
operation, except for lumbar adjustment,
can be disabled from the driver’s door
switchpack window and rear feature
immobilisation switch (see page 4 - 30).

Occupant Protection
Seat Belts
The use of front and rear seat belts is
mandatory in most countries. Using seat
belts saves lives. They should be worn by
all occupants whenever the vehicle is in
use, for maximum protection.
Lap/shoulder inertia reel seat belts are
provided for both front occupants and
three rear seat positions.
The inertia operating mechanism of the
seat belts allows the wearers to move
their upper bodies to reach various
controls. The seat belts lock automatically
with accelerated body movement or in
the event of emergency braking.
The seat belt assemblies incorporate
additional safety devices. All have belt
pretensioners and the front belts also
have force limiters. These devices provide
increased protection in the event of a
severe frontal impact.
The pretensioners operate with the air
bags as part of the Advanced Restraints
Technology System (see page 3 - 14). All passenger seat belt mechanisms
incorporate an automatic locking device
to allow child seats to be secured safely.
Forchild safety seepage3-23.
Comfort belts are fitted to both individual
electrically operated rear seats. They are
also fitted to the outer seats only on the
electrically operated rear bench seat.
These belts incorporate a twin tension
facility. When the belt is buckled around
the occupant, a reduced tension is
applied to provide a more comfortable
fitting. When the belt is unfastened,
a higher tension is applied to allow it to
retract correctly.
Beltminder
The Beltminder feature is a supplemental
warning to the seat belt warning function
(see page 4 - 6). This feature provides
additional reminders to the driver that
the driver’s and/or front passenger’s seat
belt is unbuckled by intermittently
sounding a chime and illuminating the
seat belt warning lamp in the instrument
cluster.
Note:
Not all countries have the warning
chime. Front belt height adjustment
To adjust the front seat belt heights, press
the locking button and slide the
anchorage so that the seat belt webbing
passes over the shoulder without pulling
against the neck. Release the button and
check that the anchorage point is locked.
Always check the anchorage point after
the seat has been adjusted to ensure that
the belt is correctly positioned.

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.
