Window Tinting

Metal oxide tinting prevents the reception
of the Global Positioning System (GPS)
signals by the antenna, causing the
navigation system to stop functioning.

A non-metal tinting should be used if you
require window tinting and if in doubt,
contact your Jaguar Dealer for advice.

ELECTRIC EXTERIOR
MIRRORS

Both door mirrors are adjusted from the
driver’s door switchpack.

The four-way adjustment button 1 moves
the mirrors to the required position. The
selector button 2 selects which mirror
requires to be moved.

Note: Dependant on market
requirements, both exterior mirrors are
convex, providing a wider field of vision.
As a result, objects viewed in the mirrors
are closer than they appear.

The mirror housings are designed to pivot
against the vehicle upon impact.

Mirror heating

The door mirrors have heating elements
which operate automatically based on
the external ambient temperature of the
vehicle. The mirror heater will clear all ice
from the mirror surface.

Mirror dip when reversing

Reverse mirror dipping is selected via the
touch-screen.

From the main Home touch-screen
menu, select Vehicle:
• Select Veh. settings.
• The Security button is selected

automatically as the default.

CAUTION

Do not have your vehicle windows
tinted with a metal oxide tinting (for
maximum heat reduction from the

sun) if you have a telephone or
navigation system fitted to your vehicle.

against the vehicle due to an
impact:

Reposition power foldback mirrors

CAUTION

Do not use a scraper to remove ice
from the mirrors as this will damage
the surface.

• Select Parking.
• Select Reverse mirror dip On.

When reverse gear is selected, the
passenger mirror inclines downwards to
provide a close up view of the rear side
area. When the gear selector is moved
out of reverse, the mirror will return to its
original position.

The reverse mirror dip alignment can be
adjusted by using the four-way
adjustment button 1 when the mirror has
completed movement to its reverse dip
position. This new selected position is
maintained until re-adjusted.

Note: When reversing, if a speed of
greater than 7 km/h (4 mph) is achieved,
then the mirrors will revert to the previous
position. However, if the speed is then
reduced to below 7 km/h (4 mph), then
the mirrors will revert to the dipped
position.

Power foldback - door switch
operation

To assist parking by reducing the overall
vehicle width, an optional facility enables
the door mirrors to be folded back.

To fold the mirrors into the foldback
position, press both left and right-hand
mirror door switch selector buttons at the
same time. The mirrors automatically
stop in the fully foldback position.

The power foldback and unfold, can be
cancelled by pressing both left and
right-hand mirror door switch selector
buttons at the same time during the
foldback movement.

To fold the mirrors outwards, press both
left and right-hand mirror selector
buttons at the same time. The mirrors
automatically stop in the fully extended
position.

Note: If the button is pressed repeatedly,
a thermal cut-out will prevent damage to
the vehicle’s electronics. If this occurs,
wait for five minutes for the cut-out to
reset, before operating the button.

Note: If the thermal cut-out operates and
leaves the mirrors in the folded position,
the mirrors can be folded outwards
manually.

Note: If the door mirrors are repositioned
manually (or knocked out of position), the
mirror head will be loose. To re-engage
the mechanism, power the mirror to the
foldback position, then outwards to the
drive position.

Note: Mirror foldback will only activate
when the vehicle is stationary or travelling
at 20 km/h (12 mph) or less.

Note: The door mirrors will not unfold
when the Jaguar Smart Key unlock button
is pressed, if they have been folded via
the door mirror switches. See USING
THE REMOTE CONTROL (page 37).

mirrors will automatically be folded back
when set using the touch-screen.

When the vehicle is unlocked the door
mirrors automatically unfold.

they have been selected using the door
mirror switch buttons.

To set the door mirror foldback via the

menu, select Vehicle:

• Select Veh. settings.
• The Security button is selected

automatically as the default.

• Select Mirror fold back either On or

mirror will not operate properly if the light
that would otherwise strike the mirror is
obstructed.
