Touch-screen

GENERAL INFORMATION

The touch-screen provides touch-control
of vehicle climate, audio, navigation,
television and telephone systems, as
fitted. A small Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
screen below the touch-screen provides a
digital display of the ambient temperature
and vehicle cabin set temperature.

The touch-screen setup and user menus,
clock setting, headlamp setting, door
locking mode and auto-fold door mirrors
information is described within this
chapter of this handbook

Note: Remember to pass on the vehicle
handbooks when reselling the vehicle.
Handbooks are integral parts of the
vehicle.

The buttons surrounding the
touch-screen display are referred to as
‘hard buttons’ and should be pressed not
touched. The screen buttons are ‘soft
buttons’ and only require to be touched to
function.

Throughout this section, the expression
‘Select an item’ (or similar wording),
means ‘Touch the on-screen button
adjacent to the item required’.

Pop-up messages

The operation of certain functions will
cause a small message to appear
overlaying the touch-screen display. This
‘pop-up’ is for information only and will
disappear automatically after a few
seconds.

SCREEN CLEANING

Caution: Care must be taken to avoid
spilling or splashing drinks onto the
touch-screen. In the event of such an
occurrence advise your Jaguar Dealer.

Do not use any abrasive cleaners to clean
your touch-screen. For approved screen
cleaners, see your Jaguar Dealer.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE
CONTROL

The climate control system can be
controlled from the touch-screen buttons
(accessed via the CLIMATE button to the
left of the touch-screen) and is described
in the Touch-screen Climate Control
chapter of this handbook (starting on
page 193).

AUDIO SYSTEMS

The vehicle audio system interacts with
the JaguarVoice, Navigation, In-car
Telephone and Climate Control systems
via data on the multiplex communications
vehicle network.

The audio system can be controlled from
the radio front panel buttons, the
touch-screen buttons accessed via the
AUDIO button on the left of the
touch-screen and from multi-function
controls on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel, where fitted. These
controls are described in the Audio
System chapter of this handbook
(starting on page 282).

The sound system antenna is an integral
part of the vehicle rear screen and serves
both FM and AM radio wavebands.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM

This Jaguar navigation system assists the
driver by providing a route to a selected
destination. Guidance is given by means
of audible instructions (voice guidance),
complemented by map and turn
information, which is displayed on the
touch-screen. Digital map information is
held on the Navigation System Digital
Versatile Disc (DVD), which is loaded into
the navigation control unit housed in the
luggage compartment.

The system has an extremely
comprehensive range of features, yet is
easy to use. Some time spent reading the
separate navigation system handbook will
ensure that the best results are obtained.

The touch-screen is used to control the
system by means of menus, text screens
and map displays.
