Interior lighting comprises front overhead
courtesy lamp and two front and two rear

Pressing the centre switch (1) in the
overhead console turns the front and rear

The centre console area is illuminated by
a small lamp from the overhead console

on and can be controlled by the dimmer
switch.

Reading/map lamps

The reading/map lamps are turned on and

The reading/map lamps will remain on for
up to 15 minutes after the ignition has
been turned off.

Rear Lighting

The rear interior lamps can be switched
on or off by pressing the lens cover.

Illuminated entry/Exit

The interior lamps fade on when a door is
opened and go out when the engine is
started or 15 seconds after the last door is
closed. If any door is left open, the lamps
will fade off after two minutes.

When the vehicle is unlocked with a key or
the key transmitter, the courtesy lamps
will come on at maximum brightness for
two minutes if a door is not opened.

With the engine running, opening any
door will put on all interior lamps, they will
go out immediately after the last door is
closed.

Parking Assist

INTRODUCTION

!

WARNING:

Parking aids may not detect moving
objects such as children and animals
until they are dangerously close.
Always use extreme caution when
manoeuvring.

Parking assist is always automatically
switched on when the ignition is turned
on.

Caution: Parking aids are for guidance
only, and are not intended to replace
the driver's visual checks for
obstructions when manoeuvring.

Caution: PDC sensors may not detect
some obstructions. Obstructions such
as narrow posts, small objects close to
the ground, and some objects with
dark non-reflective surfaces, for
example.

Caution: Systems which use the same
frequency band as the front PDC
sensors may cause irregular tones to
be emitted.

Caution: When washing the vehicle do
not aim high pressure water jets
directly at the sensors. Do not use
abrasive materials or hard/sharp
objects to clean the sensors. Only use
approved vehicle shampoo.

Note:

•

For reliable operation, the sensors in
the front (if fitted) and rear bumpers
should be kept free from frost, ice and
grime.

•

When using a high pressure spray the
sensors should only be sprayed briefly
and at least 200 mm (8 inches)
distance from the sensors.

•

Front parking assist may sound
spurious tones if it detects a
frequency tone using the same band
as the sensors, for example, a motor
cycle exhaust.

Towing

When an approved Jaguar tow bar
electrical system is fitted, the rear parking
assist is automatically turned off if a trailer
is attached to the vehicle.

Rear fitted accessories

Particular care must be taken with rear
fitted accessories, for example, a tow bar
or a bicycle carrier, as the rear park assist
will only indicate the distance from the
bumper to the obstacle.
