ARMING THE ALARM

Some items may not be available, you
should contact your Jaguar Dealer if you
are unsure.

Passive arming of the automatic alarm
system, can be programmed by a Jaguar
Dealer. This ensures that the security
system arms itself 30 seconds after the
doors, bonnet and luggage compartment
are closed following removal of the
remote handset from the vehicle.

Standard alarm features cover the
perimeter sensing of the bonnet, doors
and luggage compartment.

Note: Passive arming does not lock the
doors.

Alarms and audible signals

Note: In certain markets, legislation
prohibits the use of audible confirmation
signals.

Audible signals

Two audible warnings will sound if an
attempt is made to lock the vehicle if a
door, bonnet or luggage compartment is
not fully closed.

If the vehicle is unlocked with a key when
it is armed, a full alarm will be activated
when a door is unlocked. The security
system can be disarmed with either the
remote handset unlock button or by
entering the vehicle with the remote
handset and closing the door or by
inserting the remote handset in to the
starter control unit.

On disarm the direction indicators will
flash twice (in certain markets two
audible chirps will be emitted).

Full alarm

Once armed, any of the following
circumstances will create a full alarm
state, sound the siren and horns and flash
the direction indicators:
• opening a door, luggage

compartment (except with remote
handset) or hood

• using a remote handset in the starter

control unit which is not programmed
to the vehicle

Remote headlamp convenience

By pressing the remote handset
transmitter button with the dipped
headlamp symbol once, the headlamps
will come on for 25 seconds, unless the
headlamp button is pressed again, or if
the engine START/STOP button key is
pressed.

DISARMING THE ALARM

Using the remote control

Without Keyless Entry: While it is not
necessary to point the remote control at
the vehicle, the remote control must be
within range of the vehicle when the
button is pressed.

See USING THE REMOTE CONTROL
(page 37). and See KEYLESS ENTRY
(page 46).

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION

The seat, head restraint, seat belt and air
bags, all contribute to the protection of
the user. Correct use of these
components will give you greater
protection, therefore you should observe
the following points:

1. Sit in an upright position with the

base of your spine as far back as
possible and the seatback reclined no
more than 30 degrees.

2. Do not move the driver's seat too

close to the steering wheel. Ideally, a
minimum distance of 254 mm (10
inches) is recommended between the
breastbone and the steering wheel air
bag cover. Hold the steering wheel in
the correct position with your arms
slightly bent.

• Adjust the head restraint so that its

highest point is level with the top of
your head.

• Position the seat belt so that it is mid

way between your neck and your
shoulder. Fit the strap tightly across
your hips, not across your stomach.

• Ensure that your driving position is

comfortable, and enables you to
maintain full control of the vehicle.

WARNINGS

An inflating air bag may cause
serious injury or death if the seats
are positioned, or adjusted

incorrectly.

Adjust the head restraint so that it
is behind your head and never
behind your neck.

Do not adjust the seat while the
vehicle is moving. Doing so could
cause loss of vehicle control and

personal injury.

Driver and front seat passenger
should always move their seats as
far rearwards as is practical.

The front seats are adjusted by switches
on the door.

Seat adjustments for three people may
be stored and recalled by the driver
position memory system. See MEMORY
FUNCTION (page 150).

Seatback tilt

The front seats tilt forward to allow
access to the rear seats.

To tilt the seat forward: Remove the
seat belt from the seat belt guide. Lift the
lever and push the seatback forwards to
allow easy access. The seatback will
latch when returned to the up-right
position. Make sure that the seat belt is
returned to the seat belt guide. See
FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS
(page 60).

WARNINGS

Do not adjust the seat while the
vehicle is moving. Failure to follow
this instruction could potentially

cause personal injury or loss of vehicle
control.

Do not travel with the seatbacks
reclined steeply rearwards.
Optimum benefit is obtained from

the seat belt with the seatback angle set
to no more than 30 degrees from the
upright (vertical) position. Failure to
maintain the correct seatback angle will
reduce the effectiveness of the seat belts
and increase the risk of serious injury or
death in a crash.

Do not wedge objects (e.g.
luggage) between the front seat
backrest and the rear seat

cushion.
