General Information

JAGUAR DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

Many of the vehicle systems are controlled by complex electronic devices. Specialist equipment is required to trace and rectify faults in the systems and ensure that only faulty components are repaired or renewed.

Caution: Severe damage to the electrical system and electronic components can occur if any attempt is made to diagnose faults in the electrical system using conventional diagnostic equipment (for example; the use of test lamps or low impedance voltmeters). The fitting of any electrical accessory should only be entrusted to a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

REGULAR SERVICING

Each vehicle is given a full Pre-Delivery Inspection to ensure that all systems function correctly and that the vehicle meets its specification.

Owners are responsible for the regular maintenance and servicing of the vehicle. Jaguar Dealers/Authorised Repairers will be pleased to arrange periodic servicing and can provide you with details of tasks carried out at each service interval.

Failure to implement maintenance at the recommended intervals could result in deterioration of vehicle performance and possible infringement of regulations.

Regular routine maintenance not only helps to prevent unnecessary breakdowns and inconvenience, but enhances the trade-in or resale value of the vehicle.

Failure to perform regular maintenance at the correct interval may void factory warranty.

RUNNING-IN

Apart from a few precautionary recommendations, there are no strict running-in procedures for this vehicle.

By observing the following advisory notes you will ensure maximum engine, transmission and brake life for your vehicle:

  • Allow the engine to warm up thoroughly before operating at engine speeds over 3500 rev/min.
    • Vary the speed frequently.
  • From 1500 kilometres (940 miles) onwards, gradually increase performance of the vehicle up to the permitted maximum speed, where road conditions permit.

Running in for brakes

To ensure that the brake pads can bed-in evenly and reach their optimum wear and performance condition, usually within 480 kilometres (300 miles), the following points are recommended:

  • Where possible, avoid heavy braking or rough usage of the brakes as this can result in damage being caused to the brake pads and discs.
  • Avoid prolonged use of the brakes, for example, when descending severe gradients.
  • Frequent light application of the brakes is desirable. This helps to fully bed-in the brake pads before the normal running-in period is completed and the vehicle is operated at high speeds, when maximum brake efficiency will be required.

The above equally applies when new discs or pads have been fitted.

General Information

Warming Up

Do not operate the engine at high speed when first started, but allow time for the engine to warm up and the oil to circulate.

PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

We must all play our part in protecting the environment. Correct vehicle usage and disposal of waste cleaning and lubrication materials are significant steps towards this aim.

Avoid using high engine speeds. You will then protect your engine, reduce fuel consumption, lower the engine noise level and help towards reducing the environmental burden.

Care should be taken at all times to avoid polluting the environment. Used materials, for example, batteries, tyres, fluids and filters, should be disposed of at suitable facilities in accordance with local legislation. If in doubt, clarification should be sought from your local authority/regulator.

MOBILE/PORTABLE TELEPHONES

Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, give full attention to driving.

Use hands-free operation (if fitted) and pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions so require.

WINDOW TINTING

Do not have your vehicle windows tinted with a metal oxide tinting (for maximum heat reduction from sun load) if you have a navigation system fitted to your vehicle.

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

In addition, metal tinting must never be applied to windows that contain antenna patterns as radio reception will be degraded.

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

FLOOR MAT RETENTION
JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WINDOW TINTING - 1

text_image E86117

Ensure that the driver floor mat is correctly positioned and secured under the tongue on the retention post (1), [only one shown], so that it does not interfere with the operation of the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal.

The positioning of the mat should be especially checked when refitted after removal for cleaning or servicing.

General Information

LEATHER CARE GUIDE

Leather is a natural product, therefore, it bears natural characteristics, such as grain variations, growth and brush marks. These non-weakening marks show the true nature of the hide and are the hallmarks of a leather product. Leather is an easy to maintain natural product, however, dust and substances can penetrate the pores and crease the leather, causing surface wear and brittleness.

To prevent ingrained dirt, inspect the seat upholstery regularly and clean every one to two months as follows:

  • Wipe off fine dust from the seat surfaces at regular intervals using a clean, damp, non-coloured cloth. Change frequently to a clean area of cloth to avoid abrasive action on the leather surface. Avoid over-wetting.
  • If this is not sufficient, use a cloth which has been dampened with warm soapy water and then wrung out; avoid over-wetting. Use only mild non-caustic soap.
  • Use Jaguar Leather Cleaner for heavily soiled areas. Dry off and rub with a clean soft cloth, changing surfaces regularly.
  • Sharp objects such as belts, zip fasteners, rivets, etc. can leave permanent scratches on the leather surface.
  • Dark clothing may stain leather seats just like other upholstery products.

  • Do not use solvents such as petrol (gasoline), white spirit or alcohol. Do not use detergents, furniture polish or household cleaners. Such strong treatments may give, initially, an impressive appearance, but their use will lead to rapid damage or deterioration of the natural properties of the leather. Jaguar recommend a basic set of products that have been specially selected for the type of leather in your vehicle. The Manufacturer's Warranty will be invalidated if treatments are used other than those recommended by Jaguar Cars Limited.

  • Unless spillages such as tea, coffee or ink are washed away immediately, permanent staining may have to be accepted.

When staining (e.g. from clothing) or spillage occurs, clean the affected area immediately as described above.

It is recommended that Jaguar Leather Cleaner is used several times a year to maintain its appearance and suppleness. The Jaguar Leather Cleaner will nourish and moisturise the leather and help to improve and renew the surface protective film against dust and substances.

If a valet service is used, ensure that the specialist concerned is aware of, and follows, these instructions precisely.

For any further questions please consult your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer for specialist advice.

Alarm Systems

AUDIBLE SIGNALS

Note: In certain countries, legislation prohibits the use of audible confirmation signals. In such cases, the sound source has been removed from the system.

Two audible signals will be heard (if enabled) if an attempt is made to lock the vehicle with a key in the driver's door lock barrel or the lock button is pressed on the key transmitter; if a door, the bonnet or the luggage compartment is not fully closed, or a key is in the ignition switch.

European countries only: If the vehicle is unlocked with a key, a ticking sound will be heard when the driver's door is opened.

This is a warning to indicate that the vehicle alarm will activate after seven seconds if the vehicle is actively armed, and after 15 seconds if the vehicle is passively armed.

The full alarm will activate, as previously described, unless the security system is disarmed, either by pressing the unlock button on the key transmitter, or by placing a valid key into the ignition switch and turning the key to position II.

Note:

  • If a passenger door is opened before the driver's door, or during this period, before the vehicle is disarmed, the alarm will sound immediately.
  • The security system is not disarmed when unlocking with the key. This feature gives additional protection against vehicle theft.

An audible signal will sound when:

- The vehicle is double-locked (when fitted and enabled).

  • The valet switch is pressed with the luggage compartment closed.
  • The vehicle is in valet mode and the interior/luggage compartment release button, or glove compartment switch is pressed.
  • A door is opened if the vehicle has been actively armed (United Kingdom and Europe only). This mode can be cancelled by disarming the security system using the key transmitter, or by switching the ignition to position II.
  • A door is opened if the vehicle is passively armed. This mode can be cancelled by disarming the security system, using the key transmitter, by turning the key in the ignition switch to position II, or, by turning the key in the driver's door lock barrel towards the front of the vehicle.

FULL ALARM

Once armed, any of the following circumstances will create a full alarm state, sound the horns, sound the siren, or a combination of both (as country legislation dictates) and flash the direction indicators:

  • Opening a door, luggage compartment lid (except with transmitter) or bonnet.
  • Movement in the passenger area (if intrusion sensors are fitted).
  • Using a key in the ignition switch which is not programmed to the vehicle.
  • An attempt to lift, or tow the vehicle (when inclination sensor fitted).

Alarm Systems

  • The vehicle battery is disconnected and the vehicle is fitted with a Battery Backed Sounder (only Battery Backed Sounder will be audible).
  • If, after 15 seconds (passively armed), from opening the driver's door with a key (as country legislation dictates), the key is not inserted into the ignition switch and turned to position II, or a passenger door is opened before the driver's door.
  • If, after seven seconds (actively armed), from opening the driver door with a key (as regional legislation dictates) the key is not inserted into the ignition and turned to position II, or a passenger door is opened before the driver's door.
  • Any attempt is made to remove the radio or the front navigation system (if fitted).
  • Pressing the headlamp convenience button on the remote transmitter three times within three seconds activates the panic alarm (if enabled).

HEADLAMP CONVENIENCE

One press of the headlamp convenience button switches the headlamps on for 25 seconds, or until the headlamp convenience button is pressed for a second time, or until a valid key is inserted into the ignition switch.

ERROR AUDIBLE SIGNALS

Two audible signals will be heard whenever one of the following conditions are present:

- If any door is open when an attempt is made to lock the vehicle.

  • The luggage compartment or the bonnet is not properly closed when an attempt is made to lock the vehicle.
  • A key is present in the ignition switch and a button on the transmitter is pressed.

See Direction Indicator Unlock Alerts on page 24 for the Notes regarding error signals during failure of intrusion sensor (if fitted), and inclination sensor (if fitted).

Note: The error audible signal can be disabled and the direction indicator flash option can be enabled (and vice versa) by a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

ERROR FLASH SIGNALS

The direction indicators will flash five times whenever one of the following conditions are present:

  • The luggage compartment or bonnet are not fully closed when an attempt is made to lock the vehicle.
  • If any door is open when an attempt is made to lock the vehicle.
  • A key is present in the ignition switch.

See Direction Indicator Unlock Alerts on page 24 for the Notes regarding error signals during failure of intrusion sensor (if fitted), and inclination sensor (if fitted).

Alarm Systems

SECURITY FEATURES

The security system has been designed for:

• Prevention of theft of the vehicle.
- Prevention of theft of items from the vehicle.
- Personal security.

The security system is integrated with the vehicle electronics and engine management systems making it far more difficult for a thief to penetrate and steal the vehicle.

Intrusion sensing

A further enhancement to the security system is the addition of intrusion sensing, (where fitted).

When the vehicle is armed, movement within the vehicle interior will activate the alarm, therefore do not lock people or animals in the vehicle, otherwise the alarm will sound when it senses movement.

The luggage compartment can be unlocked, using the key transmitter button, without sounding the alarm.

When the security system is disarmed the intrusion sensors are also disarmed.

Note: If the vehicle has double-locking disabled, then the intrusion sensor is active upon centrally locking using the key transmitter or the key in the driver's door.

Inclination (tilt) sensing

This feature, (if fitted) protects against unauthorised towing away or jacking up. When the vehicle is double-locked and armed, any tilting of the vehicle, such as jacking or lifting, will activate the alarm.

Note:

  • If the vehicle is being transported by road, rail or sea, press the central locking switch, located on the facia panel, prior to locking the vehicle. This prevents the intrusion and the inclination system from being armed for one alarm cycle, and sounding the alarm as the vehicle pitches and rolls.
  • If the vehicle has double-locking disabled, the inclination sensor is active when the vehicle has been locked using the key transmitter, or using the key in the driver's door lock.

Panic alarm

When in or near the vehicle, the alarm can be set off to deter a possible offender. For this feature to operate, the key must not be in the ignition switch.

Pressing the headlamp convenience/panic button on the key transmitter three times within three seconds will activate the panic alarm.

The alarm is stopped by putting the key into the ignition switch and turning to position II.

Note:

  • The key transmitter cannot be used to cancel the panic alarm. This prevents unauthorised cancellation in an emergency.
  • The panic alarm is normally disabled. If required, this feature can be enabled or disabled by a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
  • The vehicle locking status will not change when the panic alarm is activated.

Alarm Systems

Passive arming

Caution: Passive arming will not lock the doors, it only arms the security alarm system.

Passive arming, if enabled by a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer, will automatically arm the vehicle alarm system 30 seconds after the last protected entry (door, luggage compartment) is closed following the key being removed from the ignition switch.

When passive arming occurs, the direction indicators will flash once and a single tone will be heard (when enabled). The red security light on the facia will start to flash and will continue for as long as the alarm is armed.

Opening the driver's door causes a warning sound which continues for 15 seconds before the system goes into the full alarm state. If any other door is opened before the driver's door, the system goes into the full alarm state immediately.

When the system is passively armed and a black-headed, or integrated key is used to open the boot, full alarm is activated.

Note: Some non-European vehicles will emit a seven second warning signal followed by full alarm.

If the system has been passively armed it can be disarmed by either using the key transmitter, by switching the ignition to position II, or by unlocking the driver's door with the key.

Note: The security system will not passively arm if a key is in the ignition switch or if any protected entry is open.

Battery reconnection

If the battery has been disconnected and is subsequently reconnected, the alarm system will resume the same state as before the battery was disconnected.

If the alarm was sounding when the battery was disconnected, it will sound again when the battery is reconnected if the trigger that caused the alarm is still active (a door ajar, for example) and to disarm the vehicle will need:

  • The transmitter unlock button to be pressed, or
  • A key placed in the ignition switch and turned to position II, or
  • The driver's door to be unlocked with a key.

If the trigger is no longer active (the door is now fully closed) the alarm will not sound.

Battery-backed sounder

In certain markets a separate, self-contained, battery-backed sounder is fitted. This device will sound the full alarm if the vehicle alarm is activated, or if the vehicle battery or the sounder is disconnected when the security system is armed.

Garage Door Opener

INTRODUCTION
JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Garage Door Opener - 1

natural_image Front view of a device control panel with buttons and indicator lights (no text or symbols visible)

The garage door opener transceiver is located in the overhead console. The transceiver can be programmed to transmit the radio frequencies of up to three different transmitters used to activate garage doors, entry gates, home lighting, security systems, or other radio frequency operated devices.

Although this section mainly describes the procedures for the garage door opener, it also equally applies to the previously mentioned applications. In some countries this feature is also known as HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Garage Door Opener - 2

WARNING:

Do not use the transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as required by safety standards. A garage door opener which cannot detect an object, signalling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases risk of serious injury or death.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

When programming the transceiver to a garage door opener or entry gate, make sure that people, the vehicle and objects are out of the way to prevent potential harm or damage as the gate or garage door will activate during the programme.

Note: This device may suffer from interference if operated in the vicinity of a mobile or fixed station transmitter. This interference is likely to affect the hand-held transmitter as well as the in-car transceiver.

For information, or for assistance, contact your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer or the supplier by phone or via the internet (see page 36).

Garage Door Opener

BEFORE PROGRAMMING

Caution: When programming a garage door opener or entry gate that may require you to press and re-press the hand-held transmitter (cycle), unplug the device during the cycling process to prevent possible motor failure.

It is recommended that for best results, fit a new battery to the hand-held transmitter of the garage door opener (or other device) before programming. If your garage door opener receiver (located in the garage) is equipped with an antenna, ensure that the antenna is hanging straight down.

Occupant Protection

SEAT BELTS

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - SEAT BELTS - 1

WARNING:

Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

It is essential to replace the entire assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact even if damage to the assembly is not obvious.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Belts should not be worn with the straps twisted.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Do not carry hard, fragile, or sharp items between your person and the seat belt. In an impact the pressure from the seat belt on such items can cause them to break, which in turn may cause death or serious injuries.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Each belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant's lap.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

The occupants of the front seats should not travel with the seat back at more than 30 degrees from upright. Doing so will reduce the protection afforded by the seat belt.

Seat belt safety

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.

Occupant Protection

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 airbags as part of the Advanced Restraints Technology System (ARTS).

See RESTRAINTS SYSTEMS on page 46.

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.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Occupant Protection - 1

WARNING:

Seat belts should be worn by all vehicle occupants, for every journey no matter how short. Failure to do so will greatly increase the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.

A slack seat belt offers a greatly reduced level of occupant protection in an impact.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

If any damage, wear, cuts, defects, or impaired operation are noted with the seat belts, the vehicle should be taken to a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised repairer for immediate attention. Do not use the vehicle if the seat belts cannot be operated correctly.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

When using seat belts to restrain items other than occupants, take care to ensure that the belts are not damaged, or exposed to sharp edges.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Care must be taken to avoid contaminating the seat belt webbing, and seat belt mechanisms with any chemicals, liquids, grit, dirt, or cleaning products. If the seat belts do become contaminated they should be replaced immediately. Contaminated seat belts may not operate correctly in an impact and cannot be relied upon.

Occupant Protection

Seat belt checks

Note: If the vehicle is parked on an incline, the seat belt mechanism may lock. This is not a fault, and the belt should be gently eased out from the upper anchorage.

The seat belts should be inspected regularly to check for fraying, cuts, or wear to the webbing, and the condition and security of the mechanism, buckles, adjusters, and mounting points.

Checks

  • With the seat belt fastened, give the webbing near the buckle a quick upward pull. The buckle must remain securely locked.
  • With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the seat belt to the limit of its travel. Check that it unreels smoothly with no snatches or snags. Allow the belt to fully retract, again checking for smooth operation.
  • Partially unreel the seat belt, then hold the tongue plate and give a quick forward pull. The mechanism must lock and prevent any further unreeling.

If any of the seat belts fail to meet those criteria, immediately contact you Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Beltminder

The Beltminder feature is a supplemental warning to the seat belt warning function, see page 91. 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 indicator in the instrument panel.

Note: Not all countries have the warning chime.

Note: Objects placed on the front passenger seat may activate the seat belt reminder warning chime and indicator. It is recommended that any objects placed on the front passenger seat are secured using the seat belt.

Occupant Protection

Seat Belt Fitting
JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Occupant Protection - 1

natural_image Medical illustration showing a person seated in a car seat with a hand holding a car seatbelt above, no text or symbols present.

A warning indicator on the instrument panel is illuminated when the driver's seat belt is not fastened. (In some countries a warning signal sounds for six seconds).

Note: If the vehicle is parked on unlevel ground, the seat belt mechanism may lock. This is not a fault, allow the seat belt to retract a small amount before gently easing the belt from its attachment to unlock it.

To release the seat belt, press the red button.

Note: When releasing the seat belt it is advisable to hold the belt before pressing the release button. This will prevent the belt from retracting too quickly.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Occupant Protection - 2

WARNING:

Do not adjust the seat belt while driving.

Draw the tongue of the seat belt over the shoulder, across the chest and push it into the buckle unit slot. A positive 'click' indicates that it is safely locked.

Comfort clips or devices that create slack in the seat belts are not recommended.

Ensure that the webbing is midway between the neck and the edge of the shoulder. Correct tension is controlled by automatic retraction of the reel.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Occupant Protection - 2

WARNING:

Correct seat belt adjustment is essential for safety and comfort. Ensure that the height is correctly adjusted and the mechanism is locked in place before driving the vehicle. Do not attempt to adjust the seat belt height once the vehicle is in motion. Doing so may cause you to loose control of the vehicle, or incorrectly adjust the seat belt.

To adjust the front seat belt heights, press the locking button (1) and slide the anchorage (2) 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.

Seat Belt Clip

A clip is fitted to the seat belt for easier access to the tongue. This clip prevents the tongue from sliding down the seat belt to the side of the seat when the belt is undone, retaining it higher up the belt nearer to the shoulder.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Seat Belt Clip - 1

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 2

WARNING:

Position the seat belt correctly for the safety of the mother and unborn child. Never wear just the lap strap, and never sit on the lap strap whilst using just the shoulder strap. Both of these actions are extremely dangerous, and may increase your risk of serious injury in the event of an accident or during emergency braking.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Never place anything between you and the seat belt in an attempt to cushion the impact in the event of an accident. It can be dangerous, and will reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt in preventing injury.

Position the lap strap comfortably across the hips beneath the abdomen. Place the diagonal part of the seat belt between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen. Ensure that the seat belt is not slack or twisted.

text_image 1 2 3 4 JAG0631

JAG0631

In order to provide optimum protection this vehicle is equipped with front, side and curtain airbags. They are used in conjunction with the seat belts to help protect occupants from upper body (thorax) and head injuries.

  1. The driver front airbag is located in the centre of the steering wheel.

  2. The front passenger airbag is located in the facia panel immediately in front of the passenger seat.

  3. Curtain airbags are fitted on each side, above the front and rear doors.
  4. Thorax and pelvis side airbags are fitted within the outboard bolsters of both front seats, and are identified by labels.

Occupant Protection

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Occupant Protection - 1

WARNING:

High speed impacts may cause serious injury or death irrespective of safety features fitted to a vehicle. Always drive with caution and consideration for the vehicle's characteristics, road and weather conditions, and do not exceed any speed limits in force.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Seat belts should be worn at all times, by the driver and passengers in all seating positions. The airbag SRS cannot provide protection in some types of impact. Under these circumstances the only protection will be provided by a correctly worn seat belt.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Airbags inflate at high speeds, and can cause injuries. To minimise the risk of injury, ensure that all vehicle occupants wear correctly positioned seat belts, sit correctly in the seats, and position the seats as far back as practical.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Ensure that a gap is maintained between the side of the vehicle, and the head and torso. This will enable unobstructed inflation of the curtain, and seat mounted side airbags.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Airbag inflation takes place instantaneously, and cannot protect against the effects of secondary impacts. Under these circumstances the only protection will be provided by a correctly worn seat belt.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Phone systems should only be installed by qualified persons familiar with the operation of, and requirements for, vehicles fitted with SRS. If you are in any doubt, seek advice from your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised repairer.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

text_image AIR BAG JAG0632

Airbag warning information is printed on the driver's and passenger's sun visor.

Occupant Protection

The airbags and seat belt pretensioners are electrically controlled by an advanced restraints technology system.

Both front airbags use a dual inflation technology. When activated, the bag(s) will deploy at either a normal or reduced level of inflation, depending on crash severity. The lower inflation level is also selected if the restraint system senses that the seat occupant is too close to the airbag.

Various sensors determine the direction and severity of an impact and the presence and position of front seat occupants.

The system analyses this information then deploys the appropriate airbags only e.g. the side airbags where the impact is on that side only.

Airbags are not deployed in a rear impact.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Occupant Protection - 1

WARNING:

For the airbags to operate correctly the roof lining and door post trims must be in good condition, correctly fitted, and free from obstruction. Any damage, wear, or incorrect fitment should be referred to your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised repairer as soon as possible for examination and repair.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Do not allow passengers to obstruct the operation of the airbags by placing any part of their person, or any objects, in contact with, or close to, an airbag module. Airbags deploy at very high speeds, and can cause serious injury or death if objects or occupants are within the area of deployment.

Disability modifications

Occupants with disabilities that may require the vehicle to be modified, must contact a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer before any modifications are made.

Airbag fault warning indicator

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Airbag fault warning indicator - 1

The airbag warning indicator in the driver's instrument panel will be lit for approximately six seconds when the ignition is turned on.

If the indicator remains on or flashes, it indicates a fault within the airbag electrical circuits. Report the fault to a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer immediately. It is safe to drive the vehicle; however, in an accident the airbags may not operate.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Airbag fault warning indicator - 2

WARNING:

If the warning indicator signals that a fault is present in the system, do not use a child restraint on the front passenger seat. Doing so will increase the risk of death or serious injury to the child.

Airbag warning indicator information is shown on page 93.

Airbag deployment

To do their life-saving job, airbags must inflate rapidly and with considerable force. There is therefore a risk of death or serious injuries such as fractures, facial and eye injuries or internal injuries, particularly to occupants who are not properly restrained by seat belts or sitting correctly when the airbag deploys.

Occupant Protection

The risk of injury from a deploying airbag is greatest close to the trim covering the airbag.

The whole sequence of events from sensing the impact to full inflation of the bag takes place in a fraction of a second.

The noise and gas associated with the deployment of the airbags is not injurious to health.

After airbag deployment, it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powdery residue or smell the burnt propellant. This may consist of cornstarch, talcum powder or sodium compounds that result from the combustion process that inflates the airbag.

Small amounts of other chemicals may be present which may irritate the skin and eyes, but none of the residue is toxic.

While the system is designed to help reduce serious injuries, it may also cause minor burns, abrasions, swelling or temporary hearing loss.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Occupant Protection - 1

WARNING:

No objects whatsoever should be attached to the centre cover of the steering wheel, the passenger facia panel, the sides of the front seats or the interior trim immediately above the door openings. Do not put anything on or over the airbag inflation area.

Placing objects on or over the airbag inflation area may cause those objects to be propelled by the airbag into your face and torso causing serious injury.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Safety experts recommend a minimum distance of at least

254 mm (10 inches) between an occupant's chest and a front airbag.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Children 12 years old and younger can be killed or seriously injured by the airbag. The rear seat is the safest place for children.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Do not try to put an adult seat belt around two children.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Several airbag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after they have deployed.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

If an airbag is inflated, the airbag will not function again and must be renewed immediately. If a new airbag is not fitted, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision.

Occupant Protection

Airbag deployment effects

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Occupant Protection - 1

WARNING:

When an airbag inflates a fine powder is released. This is normal, and not an indication of a malfunction. However, the powder may cause irritation to the skin, and should be thoroughly flushed from eyes, and any cuts or abrasions.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

After inflation some airbag components are at high temperatures. To prevent injury, do no touch the airbag components until they have cooled.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

In order to react with sufficient speed, airbags are deployed by an explosive charge. Consequently airbag deployment is accompanied by a very loud noise which may cause discomfort and temporary loss of hearing.

Front protection
JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

natural_image Top-down view of a car interior showing two seats with directional arrows indicating movement or force (no text or symbols)

With a front impact of sufficient force, the restraints system will trigger the front airbag(s) and seat belt pretensioners, which immediately tighten the seat belts.

For front occupants, the seat belt then slackens with increasing chest load, allowing the head and chest to more gradually come into contact with the inflated airbag. The airbag absorbs the remaining energy of the impact and then deflates rapidly via vent holes.

Front airbags are designed to inflate in frontal and near-frontal collisions, not low speed impacts, roll-over, side impact or rear impact.

Occupant Protection

Side protection
JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Occupant Protection - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a car driver inside a car, showing steering wheel and dashboard (no text or symbols)

JOL3287

The airbags, in combination with the seat belts, can help reduce the risk of severe injuries in the event of a significant side impact collision.

The side protection system utilizes four airbags: Two mounted in the front seats, and two curtain airbags located just above the front and rear door openings, under the headlining trim.

When the seat mounted thorax airbag inflates upon a vehicle side impact, it breaks through the seat bolster stitching, protecting the side of the rib cage of the driver or front seat passenger.

When the curtain airbag inflates upon a vehicle side impact, it breaks through the headlining and deploys downwards, giving head protection to the front and rear seat occupants on the impact side.

The curtain airbag on the front passenger side is always deployed in a side impact even if the front passenger airbags are de-activated. This is to maintain protection for a rear occupant.

Seat mounted thorax and curtain airbags are designed to inflate in a side impact collision, not roll-over, rear impact, frontal or near-frontal collisions, unless the collision causes sufficient lateral deceleration.

Occupant Protection

Rear impact protection
JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Occupant Protection - 1

natural_image Four-panel illustration showing a person seated in a car seat with arrows indicating left and right motion (no text or symbols)

JAG0634

Both front seats have active, energy absorbent backrests which, with correctly positioned head restraints, reduce the risk of neck and spinal injury (whiplash) in the event of a rear impact.

When activated, the seat backrests automatically move back and recline, altering the occupants' posture and reducing relative motion between the body and head.

The degree of backrest movement in a rear collision depends on the angle, speed and nature of the colliding vehicle.

After activation, the whiplash protection mechanism will not work again and the seat must be serviced by a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer to restore the protective function.

Note: The amount of backrest movement depends on the severity of the impact and for a minor collision there may be no apparent change to the seat, even where the protective system has been activated.

After any rear collision, therefore, the seat must always be inspected by a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

WARNING:

For optimum protection, the driver and passenger should sit in the centre of the seat with the head as close as possible to the head restraint.

WARNING:

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

WARNING:

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

WARNING:

After a rear collision, the front seats must be inspected by a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer even where there is no apparent damage or change to the seat.

WARNING:

Do not attempt to service or tamper with the seat recliner mechanism.

Occupant Protection

Occupancy sensing
JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Occupant Protection - 1

text_image Diagram of car interior showing dashboard, steering wheel, and air vent with directional arrows indicating movement or flow.

The front passenger seat is monitored by ultra-sonic sensors (shown above) and a seat weight sensor to determine the presence, weight and position of the front passenger. In certain conditions, e.g. where no passenger is present, the appropriate airbags will be de-activated. In a collision these airbags would not be deployed.

Note: The occupancy sensing system is designed to confirm that a front passenger is properly seated as recommended:

• Always sit centrally in the seat, remaining in contact with the seat back which for comfort should be rearwards of the vertical position.
- Adjust the seat to be as far back from the facia as is practical.
• Always wear seatbelts.

The seat adjustment controls are described on page 68.

WARNING:

It is important that the passenger position sensors (see illustration) are not obscured in any way which could affect airbag deployment, e.g. fitting non-approved accessories.

WARNING:

Crash test data and statistics, show that the safest place for a child to be restrained, is in a child seat correctly fitted to the vehicle's rear seat.

WARNING:

Do not use a child restraint on a seat protected by an operational airbag in front of it. Doing so presents a high risk of death or serious injury to the child in the event of an accident.

WARNING:

Do not fit a child restraint to the front passenger seat if the SRS warning indicator illuminates continuously with the ignition on.

Occupant Protection

Airbag deactivation warning indicator (Yellow)

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Occupant Protection - 1

The AIRBAG warning indicator on the passenger facia is associated with the deployment conditions for the front seat passenger airbag only.

  • The warning indicator will NOT be lit if the seat is empty and the front airbag will not be activated.
  • The warning indicator will NOT be lit if the seat is occupied by a larger child or an adult. The front airbag will be activated and will be deployed in the event of a frontal impact.
  • The airbag warning indicator WILL be lit if the seat is occupied by, for example, a small child and in this case the front airbag will not be activated.
  • If the passenger adopts a posture (e.g. leaning very far forward) which could cause injury from an inflating airbag, the airbag warning indicator WILL be lit and the front airbag will not be activated.

Note: Whenever the airbag warning indicator on the passenger facia is illuminated, the front passenger airbag will not be deployed in the event of an impact.

Driving position

WARNING:

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

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Occupant Protection - 2

natural_image Diagram of a person sitting in a car with a circular no-smoking symbol, no text or labels present

Since the risk zone at the time of deployment is the first 55 mm – 75 mm (2 to 3 inches) from the airbag cover, sitting back 254 mm (10 inches) provides a clear margin of safety. Very few drivers are unable to achieve and maintain that safety gap.

The vast majority of drivers who do not now sit that far back can change their position and achieve that distance.

Child Safety

CHILD AND INFANT SAFETY

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - CHILD AND INFANT SAFETY - 1

WARNING:

Children must be restrained by a child safety restraint that is suitable for their weight and size.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Crash statistics show that children are safest when properly restrained on the rear seat.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Do not use a forward facing child seat until the child using it is above the minimum weight of 9 kg (20 lb.) and able to sit up unaided. Up to the age of two, a child's spine and neck are not sufficiently developed to avoid injury in a frontal impact.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Do not allow a baby or infant to be held or carried on the lap. The force of a crash can increase effective body weight by as much as thirty times, making it impossible to hold onto the child. Children typically require the use of a booster seat appropriate to their age and size, thereby enabling the seat belts to be properly fitted, reducing the risk of injury in a crash. Children could be endangered in a crash if their child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Do not use a child seat that hooks over the seat back. This type of seat cannot be satisfactorily secured and is unlikely to be safe for your child.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Do not use a child restraint on a seat with an operational airbag in front of it. There is a risk of death or serious injury when the airbag deploys.

It is very important for all infants and children under 12 years of age to be restrained in a suitable child safety seat appropriate to their age and size.

Note: In some countries legislation prohibits children travelling in the front of a vehicle. Ensure that you are familiar with the legislation in force where the vehicle is being used, and are in full compliance.

Child Safety

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Child Safety - 1

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Child Safety - 2

WARNING:

Original text according to ECE R94.01. Extreme hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an air bag in front of it!

The symbol affixed to the end of the facia on the passenger side is to warn against the use of a rear facing child seat when the front passenger airbag is fitted and operational.

Jaguar Cars Limited strongly recommend that at all times children should be carried in the rear seats.

If, however, you have no alternative but to place a child in the front passenger seat, use only a forward-facing child seat with the passenger seat set fully rearward and in its lowest position.

Infant Safety

Babies and small children who cannot sit up by themselves should be carried in an approved baby seat.

In many countries legislation governs how and where children should be carried when travelling in a vehicle. It is the responsibility of the driver to comply with all regulations in force in the country where the vehicle is being used.

Note:

It is important to read and understand all the information contained in this handbook relating to child safety before carrying a child in your vehicle. If you are unsure about any aspect of this information, contact your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Make sure you read the information in this section which contains:

SEAT POSITIONING

Summary of the Law

In all countries there are regulations governing the use of restraint systems for children and babies. Infants and children must be seated in an approved safety device, which is suitable for the weight and size of the child. A child restraint must meet the regulations enforced in the country where it is used and the approval number and the weight category have to be clearly labelled on the seat.

Generally, the following law applies:

  • Children under three years of age must be secured in an appropriate child restraint.
  • Children aged 3 to 11 years and less than approximately 1.5 metres (5 feet) in height should be secured in an appropriate child restraint, if available. Otherwise, the adult seat belt must be used.
  • For children aged 12 or 13 years, or a younger child approximately 1.5 metres (5 feet) or more in height, the adult seat belt must be used.
  • In all three cases above, it is the responsibility of the driver to ensure that the safety of children travelling with them is adequately provided for.
  • From 14 years of age, all passengers should use the adult seat belts provided and it is their own responsibility to do so.

Note: Failure to comply with the law could result in prosecution and could affect insurance cover. Remember the driver has responsibility for other passengers under 14 years and the careful stowage of luggage and loose items.

Holding a baby or child in a person's arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. Do not use a seat belt to restrain more than one person.

In an accident, a baby or child held in a person's arms can be crushed between the vehicle's interior and a restrained person.

The child can also be injured by hitting the interior or by being thrown from the vehicle during a sudden manoeuvre or impact.

Injury can also be caused if the baby or child is allowed to ride on the seat unrestrained. Other occupants should also be properly restrained to help reduce the chance of injuring the child.

Do not allow children to stand in the space between the seats, or on the passenger seats.

Child Safety

SUITABLE CHILD SEATS

Before you buy a child seat, it is important to note that your child's weight, rather than age, determines the type of seat that is required.

Jaguar recommends that a rear-facing seat with a harness is used for as long as your infant's development allows.

Do not use a forward-facing seat until your child is able to sit up unaided. Up to the age of two, a child's spine and neck are not sufficiently developed to avoid injury in a frontal impact.

Jaguar's recommended Group 1 seat is the Jaguar ISOFIX child restraint system. The ISOFIX seat must always be used with the top tether.

The Jaguar ISOFIX child seat can only be fitted in either of the outer rear seating positions. The ISOFIX seat is supplied with an anchorage kit that must be fitted by your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

When choosing a child seat, it is also important to consider how you plan to use it. For longer journeys, a reclining seat may offer added comfort and support for a sleeping child, while a lightweight design may be easier to lift in and out of the vehicle. It is also worth noting that some children are more suited to a harness-style seat than a booster seat during their toddler years.

Because child seats vary in shape, certain designs may be more stable when mounted on the outer rear seating positions, rather than in the centre. Always check that the child seat can be mounted securely in the required position: if in doubt, speak to your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

A full range of approved child restraints is available from your Jaguar

Dealer/Authorised Repairer, which offers the best possible fit for your vehicle's interior. Your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer will be able to show you how to install the restraints correctly.

We strongly advise that you do not buy or use a second-hand child seat. The seat may have been used inappropriately, or involved in an accident. In such circumstances, the seat may not protect your child.

SECURING CHILD RESTRAINTS

Some countries have passenger seat belts (not the driver's) with an automatic locking device for use with child seats, your Dealer/Authorised Repairer can give you details.

If engaged, this device allows the belt to be retracted (tightened) but not pulled out. When used to secure a child seat, therefore, the belt will automatically lock at any point to which it has retracted.

Always ensure that child restraint assemblies are fitted in strict accordance with the child restraint manufacturer's instructions. Keep the fitting instructions for future reference.

The following checks should always be carried out:

- Fit the child seat in the correct position and secure with the seat belt in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. If necessary, remove the head restraint to accommodate a larger child seat.

Child Safety

  • Make sure the child seat is fitted firmly to the car seat. There should not be excessive forward or sideways movement.
  • Pull the seat belt all the way out to engage the locking device. To fix the seat firmly, retract the belt back onto the reel; a ratchet operation may be felt as the belt retracts. Continue to pay the belt back onto the reel until it fits snugly around the child seat.
  • Regularly check and refit the child seat to ensure there is no slack in the installation.
  • The seat belt must not be twisted and the buckle must not rest on the child seat frame, as it may snap open in an accident.
  • Never modify the seat, or install it differently to the instructions.

The above is a guide only. Depending on the features of a particular child seat, e.g. forward or rearward facing, engage the locking device before or after attaching the belt, as convenient.

Unbuckling the belt and releasing the child seat will allow the belt to resume its normal operation.

Always secure an unoccupied child seat safely. In an accident an unsecured child seat may pose a risk to the vehicle occupants.

If a booster seat is used, position the lap section of the adult seat belt over the child's pelvis. The diagonal seat belt should rest on the child's shoulder, not the neck.

SAFE USE OF CHILD RESTRAINTS

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - SAFE USE OF CHILD RESTRAINTS - 1

WARNING:

The top tether anchor point must always be used to secure forward-facing child seats (see page 66).

Ensure that there is no slack in the webbing and that the restraints fits the child snugly across the rib cage and hips. These are the parts of the body most able to take the force of an impact.

  • Ensure the path and position of an integral harness across the shoulders is appropriate for your child's development – consult the manufacturer's instructions.
  • The lap strap should pass across the top of the child's thighs, bearing on the pelvis, not the abdominal area.
  • Adjust the harness every time, so that one or two fingers only can be inserted between the child and harness. Different clothing on a child can make a difference to the correct fitting of the harness.
    • Make sure the harness webbing is not twisted.
  • Never modify the seat harness or buckles, as this may affect the quick release mechanism.
    • Always secure your child correctly, even for the shortest journey.
  • Follow the seat manufacturer's instructions for harness adjustments.

Child Safety

Check List - Non-ISOFIX Child Restraints

Follow the check list each time your child travels in the vehicle:

  • Carefully follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system.
  • Always use the appropriate child restraints and adjust harnesses for every child, every trip.
  • Avoid dressing your child in bulky clothing and do not place any objects between the child and the restraint system.
  • Regularly check the fit of your child seat and replace seats or harnesses that show signs of wear.
  • Ensure that you have removed all slack from the adult seat belt.
  • No child seat is completely child-proof. Encourage your child not to play with the buckle or harness.
  • Never leave a child unsupervised in the vehicle.
  • Activate the rear door child safety locks (see page 27).
  • Ensure your child does not exit the vehicle from the side where there is traffic.

Set your child a good example – always wear your seat belt.

WARNING:

Never adjust the steering wheel position whilst the vehicle is in motion. Doing so will reduce control of the vehicle, and may cause unpredictable steering movements.

The steering column can be adjusted for tilt and reach by operating the control switch on the left side of the steering column.

Turn the switch to the COLUMN or AUTO position.

Move the switch forwards or backwards to adjust reach.

Move the switch up or down to tilt.

Three column positions may be stored and recalled by the Driver Position Memory system. See page 84.

ENTRY/EXIT MODE

Entry/exit mode provides automatic movement of the steering column and driver's seat to allow easier entry to or exit from the vehicle.

Entry/exit mode is selected by setting the steering column adjustment switch to the AUTO position.

Exit- If the ignition key is in position 0 and the driver's door is opened or if the ignition key is removed, the steering column will move to the uppermost tilt position. The seat will move rearwards unless it is already 40 mm (1.5 inches) or less from its fully rearward position when it will not move any further back.

Entry- When the key is next inserted in the ignition switch and the door is closed, the steering column and seat will return to their previous positions. If, however, the memorised driver position has been changed (using the door memory switch or another integrated key), the steering wheel and seat will move to the new position.

Caution: Do not use steering wheel mounted security devices since movement of the steering wheel in entry/exit mode could result in vehicle damage (e.g. the windscreen) or possible injury to the occupant.

Steering Column

Note:

  • If the adjustment switch is moved away from AUTO whilst the steering column is tilted away, the steering column will move back to its memorised position when the key is next inserted in the ignition and entry/exit mode is then cancelled.
  • If the adjustment switch is moved during entry/exit operation, steering column movement will stop.

WINDOW OPERATION
JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Door Windows - 1

natural_image Close-up of a car control panel with four buttons and a black arrow pointing to the bottom-right button (no text or symbols visible)

E86328

The front and rear door windows are electrically operated by switches located on each door.

Switches on the driver's door control all door windows.

Passengers are provided with a switch to control their door window only.

These switches will only operate the windows when the ignition switch is in position I or II.

The rear window inhibit button (arrowed) immobilises operation of the rear windows by rear seat occupants (and front seat adjustment by rear seat occupants, when fitted).

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Door Windows - 2

WARNING:

If children are carried in the rear seats, the isolator switch should be used to prevent operation of the windows. If the windows are operated by young children there is a risk of serious injury or death.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

All of the windows have an anti-trap protection system. However, before closing a window care must be taken to ensure that none of the occupants have any part of their body in a position where it could be trapped. Even with an anti-trap system serious injury or death can occur.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Ensure that you remove the ignition keys when leaving occupants in the vehicle. This will prevent unsupervised operation of the windows, which may result in injury.

Raising and lowering the windows

Each switch has two positions to raise the window and two positions to lower the window.

To lower a window, press the switch downwards to the first position until the desired window position is reached, then release.

To raise a window, pull the switch upwards to the first position until the desired position is reached, then release. If the switches are held for longer than six seconds, for example, when attempting to overcome frozen or jammed windows, the window drive will be switched off for a few seconds to protect the window drive motors.

Door Windows

The windows can be operated with the key removed from the ignition switch within ten minutes of the vehicle being stopped provided the driver's or front passenger's door has not been opened. If a rear door is opened the windows can still be operated within the ten minute period.

One-touch operation

Each window has a ‘one-touch’ facility enabling the occupant to fully open or close the window in one quick movement.

Press the switch briefly to the second position to fully open the window in one movement. Pull the switch briefly to the second position to fully close the window in one movement. Window travel can be stopped at any time by pressing the switch again.

Immobilising the rear windows

To immobilise the rear windows (and operation of the front seat by a rear seat passenger, when this feature is fitted), press the rear window inhibit button (see illustration on previous page).

The LED in the button will light up showing that the rear windows cannot be operated by rear seat occupants.

Pressing the button again will enable occupants to operate the rear windows. See also the rear seat adjustment procedure on page 70.

Wind resonance with lowered windows

Due to the sleek exterior of the vehicle, it is possible for a resonance, booming sound, to occur when one or both rear windows are open; this is eliminated by slightly opening an adjacent front window.

Window anti-trap protection

Each electrically operated window has an anti-trap protection feature. If the upward movement of the window detects an obstacle, the anti-trap system will immediately stop the window closing, then move it downwards for a short distance.

Note: If the battery is disconnected or discharged, the window anti-trap feature is lost. When the battery is reconnected or recharged the window anti-trap system must be reset.

To reset the window anti-trap system

  1. Fully close the window, hold the switch in the close position for two seconds and then release the switch. Wait for two seconds, do not open the window.
  2. Again, select the same window to close, holding the switch for a further two seconds.
  3. Check to confirm the operation by opening the window and then use one-touch operation to close the window.
  4. Repeat for the remaining electrically operated windows.

Door Windows

To override the anti-trap protection

The anti-trap system will also stop the window closing if a blockage or resistance occurs e.g. in the window guide channels. Typically this might be due to icing in winter, but could also be caused by damage or misalignment of the guide channels or seals.

  1. After the initial attempt to close the window, operate the close switch a second time.
  2. When the window has reversed from the blockage, operate the switch (within ten seconds) until the window stops again (it will not reverse on the third attempt).
  3. Immediately operate the close switch again. The window will now move up a short distance with increased force to override the blockage.
  4. Repeat the override action until the window has closed. Each time the window stops, the switch must be operated immediately to initiate further override action.

If this procedure fails to move the blockage, the anti-trap feature will be lost and must be reset (see previous column) after the blockage has been cleared.

Thermal overload

If the windows are repeatedly opened and closed (e.g. by a child), a protection system will deactivate window operation for a short period to avoid overheating of the window motors.

Mirrors

DOOR MIRRORS

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

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - DOOR MIRRORS - 1

text_image E86329

The four-way adjustment button (1) moves the mirrors to the required position. The selector switch (2) selects the mirror to be moved, left for the left-hand side mirror and right for the right-hand side mirror. When the selector switch is in the centre position, adjustment to either mirror is inhibited.

Each mirror housing is designed to pivot against the vehicle upon impact. To return the mirror to its normal position, manually reposition the housing until it locks into place.

At night, the approach lamps in the door mirrors also switch on automatically when reverse is selected.

Mirror Heating

The door mirrors have heating elements which work when the rear screen heater is switched ON. The mirror heater will clear all ice from the mirror surface.

Caution:

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

Power Foldback (where fitted)

To assist parking by reducing the overall vehicle width, the door mirrors can be folded back.

The button (3) is located in the driver's door window switchpack and will operate the mirrors when the ignition switch is in any position except OFF.

To fold the mirrors inwards press the button. A second press of the button returns the mirrors to their normal driving 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.
  • If the thermal cut-out operates and leaves the mirrors in the folded position, the mirrors can be folded outwards manually.
  • If the door mirrors are repositioned manually (or are knocked out of position), re-engage the mechanism to power the mirror to the foldback position, then outwards to the drive position.

WARNING:

Do not drive the vehicle with the door mirrors in the folded position, except when parking.

Mirrors

Mirror Dip When Reversing

Vehicles are not normally delivered with this feature but, if your vehicle has memory function, it can be fitted by your Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

When reverse gear is selected, one or both door mirrors incline downwards to provide a close up view of the rear side areas.

When the gear selector is moved out of reverse, the mirrors return to their original positions.

INTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRROR

During night time driving with the ignition switched on, the interior rear view mirror will darken automatically in proportion to the amount of glare detected from a following vehicle's headlamps.

When you shift the gear selector lever into reverse, the interior mirror dimming feature will be automatically switched off for a clearer view whilst reversing.

Note:

  • Should a mirror assembly become detached from the windscreen, it must be refitted by a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
  • Ensure that the windscreen in front of the mirror is kept clean. Where fitted, the moisture sensor for wiper operation is located to the front of the mirror casing. Any dirt may affect the operation of this sensor.
  • The automatic darkening of the mirror will not operate properly if the rear window shade (if fitted) is not stowed or if the light that would otherwise strike the mirror is obstructed.

Interior mirror (with compass)

Compass operation

When switched on, the compass display on the right-hand side of the mirror surface shows the direction the vehicle is pointing. Eight main directions can be displayed, e.g. N for north, SW for south-west etc.

Setting the compass

With the ignition on, depress and hold the button under the mirror (see the arrow in the illustration above). Depending on how long the button is held will produce the following results:

  • 0 to 2 seconds, the display will be blank.
    • 3 to 5 seconds, use this to set the zone for geographic location.
  • 6 to 8 seconds, will cause the compass to RESET the calibration of the compass. The letter C will be displayed in the mirror.
  • 9 seconds will set either L for left-hand drive or R for right-hand drive.

Mirrors

Inaccurate compass direction

With the ignition on, push the button for three to five seconds until the Zone selection is shown (a number will be displayed in the mirror compass).

Now press the button repeatedly until the variance zone number for your area (from the map below) appears in the compass display.

The compass is now set to your new location and will give a steady direction heading after about five seconds.

text_image 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 JOL3115

If adjusting the zone setting did not correct the compass heading error, or if the zone was already correctly set for your area then the compass must be recalibrated.

Mirrors

Calibrating the compass

If C is displayed in the compass window instead of the direction, or if the compass displays the wrong heading even when the compass variance zone is correctly set, the compass must be calibrated.

Note:

  • Installing items such as a ski rack, antenna or roof rack can cause changes to the vehicle's magnetic field. In these situations the compass will need to be recalibrated.
  • The compass may not indicate the correct compass point in tunnels or whilst driving up or down a steep hill. (The compass will show the correct reading when the vehicle moves to an area where geomagnetism is stabilised)

Find a large open space away from traffic, for example, an empty parking lot.

Start the engine and depress and hold the button under the mirror for approximately six to eight seconds until a C appears in the compass display.

Drive the vehicle in a complete circle, 360 degrees, at less than 10 km/h (6 mph) until a direction of travel appears in the compass display.

Alternatively, you can calibrate the compass by driving your vehicle on your everyday routine. Calibration will be completed once the vehicle has completed a full circle.

The calibration process is now complete.

Holding the button depressed for longer than nine seconds enables left-hand drive L or right-hand drive R to be set.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Driving Position Memory - 2

text_image M 1 2 3 JOL3061

This facility, if fitted, enables three different comfort positions to be memorised and recalled for each occupant:

  • The driver's seat, steering column, pedals and exterior rear view mirrors.
  • Rear passenger seat positions when memory is fitted to these.

The key does not have to be in the ignition switch to make seat, steering column and pedal adjustments, but is required to be in the switch to set the memory.

SETTING AND RECALLING

Setting a memorised position

To store a driver's seat position in the memory:

  1. Adjust the seat, steering column, pedals and exterior rear view mirrors to the desired positions.
  2. Insert a key into the ignition switch and leave in the OFF position.
  3. Push memory button M and the red LED in the switchpack will illuminate for a five second period.
  4. While the red LED is illuminated, push button 1, 2 or 3 to memorise the configuration. The LED will go out and a chime will indicate that the setting procedure is complete.

By repeating these four steps and pressing the unused buttons, two more driving positions can be stored in the memory.

To set a new driving position, adjust to the desired position and perform steps 2 and 3. The previous memory will be erased and the new position will be set.

The rear passenger's seats can also be memorised by repeating steps 2 and 3 above after adjusting the seat to the desired position.

Recalling a memorised position from the door

Ensure the gear selector lever is in position P.

Press and release the appropriate memory button (1, 2 or 3). The seat, steering column, pedals and door mirrors will move automatically to the memorised position.

Parking Assist

INTRODUCTION

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - INTRODUCTION - 1

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.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

natural_image Diagram of a car rear bumper with directional arrows indicating movement or force (no text or symbols)

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.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Parking Assist - 1

text_image E86369

When both front and rear parking assist are fitted, a switch is located in the overhead console.

Pressing the switch turns front and rear parking assist on or off together. The switch integral warning lamp will come on when the system is turned off or if a fault is detected in the system. A switch is not provided when only rear parking assist is fitted.

Note: The front parking assist will also operate when reverse gear is selected.

Front parking assist provides an audible proximity warning when driving forwards if objects are detected within the operating range, shown in the illustration below in the approximate range:

The front sensors only operate within a fixed speed range in forward gears and are not effective when moving forwards above 15 km/h (9 mph) or when slowing down until below 7 km/h (4½ mph).

If an obstacle is detected at the front or rear of the vehicle, a beep tone will be heard from the front or rear speaker respectively, which increases in rate as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.

The front or rear parking assist beep will become continuous when the obstacle is detected at or within 300 mm (12 inches) from the rear or approximate 250 mm (10 inches) from the front of the vehicle.

If the system has a fault when engaging reverse gear or turning on the ignition, then a single, three second tone will be heard (only once per ignition cycle) and, if fitted, the switch lamp will come on. The system is automatically disabled when a fault is detected.

Engine Starting

BEFORE STARTING

Before starting the engine, new owners/drivers should familiarize themselves with the layout and operation of the controls and instruments.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - BEFORE STARTING - 1

WARNING:

Before attempting to start the engine, check that the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) is ON and the gear selector lever (automatic transmission) is in position P or N.

Automatic transmission

When the vehicle is stationary the automatic gear selector may be left in D, 2, 3 or 4, unless the vehicle is to be parked. When stopping for traffic lights, junctions etc., either select P or apply the EPB and select N.

Manual transmission

When the vehicle is stationary it is advisable to apply the EPB and to move the gear selector to the Neutral position.

STARTING A PETROL ENGINE

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - STARTING A PETROL ENGINE - 1

WARNING:

Never start the engine, or leave it running, when the vehicle is in an enclosed space. Exhaust gasses are poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death if inhaled.

The engine cannot be started until the automatic transmission gear selector is in N or P.

Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn clockwise to position II to switch on the ignition.

When the key is turned to position III the starter motor will turn the engine until:

  • The key is released and automatically returns to position II.
    • The ignition switch is turned to 0 or 1.
  • The gear selector is moved out of P or N (automatic transmission vehicles).
    • The engine starts.

Do not use the starter continuously for longer than six seconds. Continued use of the starter will discharge the battery and may damage the starter mechanism. Wait until the engine stops turning before re-using the starter.

When the engine starts, release the key.

The red charge warning indicator in the instrument panel should go out when the engine is running.

If the engine fails to start

If an ignition key is placed in the ignition switch and turned to position II and the alarm security indicator is flashing, it is possible that the engine will not start. In any event, please contact a Jaguar Dealer /Authorised Repairer to investigate the cause of the indicator flashing.

Caution: If the engine fails to start, do not continue cranking as this will discharge the battery. It may also damage the catalytic convertor due to unburnt fuel passing through the exhaust.

It is possible that the fuel system inertia switch may have tripped, see page 184 for the resetting procedure.

Engine Starting

If the engine persistently fails to start and flooding is suspected, depress the accelerator pedal fully, hold it in this position and turn the key to position III for six seconds. Release the key, remove your foot from the accelerator pedal and then attempt to restart the engine.

Note: The engine cannot start whilst the pedal is fully depressed, it must be released to enable the engine to start.

If the engine still fails to start, switch the ignition OFF and contact a Jaguar Dealer /Authorised Repairer.

Stopping a petrol engine and locking the steering

Turn the key from position 11 to the lock position 0. This turns off the ignition and stops the engine. The steering will be locked when the key is removed from the switch.

Leaving the key in position I or II will discharge the battery.

STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE - 1

WARNING:

Never start the engine, or leave it running, when the vehicle is in an enclosed space. Exhaust gasses are poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death if inhaled.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn clockwise to position II. Ensure the glow

plug indicator illuminates.

Once the indicator has extinguished, depress the clutch and do not touch the accelerator pedal. Turn the key to position III to turn the starter motor. Continue to operate the starter motor without pausing, until the engine starts. Once the engine has started, release the key, which will return to position II.

Caution: If the engine fails to start, do not continue cranking as this will discharge the battery.

If the engine stalls or fails to start, the key must be turned to position I before attempting to restart.

At extremely low temperatures it may be necessary to crank the engine for up to 30 seconds.

Caution: Do not let the engine run under full load immediately after starting. Give the lubricating oil time to reach the oiling points to prevent damage to the engine.

Stopping a diesel engine and locking the steering

Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until the engine has reached idle speed, then turn the key from position II to the lock position 0. This will turn off the engine. The steering will be locked when the key is removed from the switch.

Caution: Do not depress the accelerator pedal. If the engine is switched off at high speed, the turbocharger will continue running after the engine oil pressure has dropped to zero. This will cause premature wear of the turbocharger bearings.

Leaving the key in position I or II will discharge the battery.

Engine Starting

Caution: Especially after driving at high engine speeds for any length of time, it is important to let the engine run for a time (one minute) while stationary before switching it off. This allows the turbocharger turbine blades to cool off, while lubrication is still being fed to the turbocharger bearings.

PARKING THE VEHICLE

When leaving the vehicle, remember the following:

  • Whenever the vehicle is being parked, apply the EPB and, with automatic transmission, move the gear selector to Park P.
  • Do not leave children or pets in the vehicle unattended.
  • Do not leave luggage or valuables on view. Always take your valuables with you or lock them in the luggage compartment.
  • Remove the ignition key and spare keys, even when the vehicle is in your garage.
  • When the vehicle is unoccupied, close all windows and lock all doors securely.
  • Park the vehicle where it can be seen. At night, park in a well-lit area.
  • When leaving the vehicle unattended, for maximum security ensure that the doors are double-locked (where fitted).
  • Ensure that the keys and the key transmitters are removed from the vehicle before locking the doors, and that all doors, the luggage compartment and the bonnet are closed.

Transmission

GEARSHIFT INTERLOCK

A brake pedal/gearshift interlock system is incorporated in the automatic gear selector mechanism.

To move the gear selector from Park:

  1. Turn the ignition key to position II or start the engine.
  2. Press the brake pedal.

Note: Under the following conditions, the brake pedal must be released and re-applied before moving the gear selector from Park:

  • The gear selector was moved into Park while the brake pedal was depressed or;
  • The brake pedal was depressed while the ignition was switched ON.

In either case the letter P for PARK on the gearshift will flash to indicate that the interlock is still active.

GEAR SELECTOR LEVER
JAGUAR XJ (2000) - GEARSHIFT INTERLOCK - 1

text_image P 2 R 3 N 4 5 D S P 2 R 3 N 4 N 5 D E86365

The J-gate gear selector lever is designed to accommodate two different driving techniques as follows:

  • Automatic selection – the right-hand side of the selector gate.
  • Manual selection – the left-hand side of the selector gate to individually select 5th, 4th, 3rd, or 2nd gear.

Gear selector positions

WARNING:

The EPB or brake pedal must be applied before selecting forward or reverse drive from a stationary position.

P = Park - Use when parking. In this position the transmission is locked. Do not select if the vehicle is moving.
N = Neutral - Disconnects the driveline from the engine. Use the EPB when stopping temporarily.

Note:

  • After selecting forward or reverse drive ranges from Neutral or Park, wait briefly for the transmission to engage before accelerating.
  • When in Neutral or Park the engine can only be accelerated to 4500 rev/min.

R = Reverse - Do not select if the vehicle is moving forward.

The reversing lamps come ON automatically when reverse gear is selected and the ignition switch is in position II.

D = Drive - All six gears are changed automatically as required by the throttle position and road speed.

Transmission

2, 3, 4, 5 = If selected, the transmission operates automatically in second, third, fourth or fifth gear but will not engage gears higher than the one selected.

When the vehicle is stationary the automatic gear selector may be left in D, 2, 3, 4, or 5, unless the vehicle is to be parked. When stopping for traffic lights, junctions etc., either select P or apply the EPB and select N.

Drive to fifth

When driving in gear position D with sixth gear engaged, the gear selector can be shifted sideways across the gate to 5.

Provided that the vehicle's speed is not too great, the transmission will shift down to fifth. Sixth gear will be inhibited until the gear selector is moved back to D.

Hill climbing and engine braking

When driving on roads with long downhill gradients, selecting 3 or 2 (depending on road/traffic conditions) will give engine braking.

When the gear selector is moved from D, 5, 4, or 3 down to 2, downshift to second gear will only take place at appropriate road speeds.

Reverse inhibit

Reverse is inhibited when the vehicle is moving forward at speeds above 8 km/h (5 mph).

Note: Reverse inhibit will not function in limp home mode.

Kickdown

Kickdown is operated when the pedal is pressed fully down, beyond the normal operating range and against a spring pressure, to provide maximum engine performance.

Kickdown is used in circumstances where rapid acceleration is required, such as when overtaking.

Kickdown causes the transmission to change down to the lowest gear possible to achieve maximum acceleration.

The gear engaged depends on the road speed at the time of kickdown.

As well as shifting down, the gearshift points are extended to give greater performance. This mode is in effect for as long as the pedal is pressed fully down.

Limp home mode

In the unlikely event of an electrical or mechanical failure, transmission operation will be impaired. The vehicle gear selector ranges P, R, N, D can still be used to enable the vehicle to be driven to a safe area.

The driver should be aware that the vehicle's performance will be reduced and must take this into account when driving. In this event consult a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer immediately.

Transmission

SPORT MODE
JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Transmission - 1

text_image E86366

The switch marked S on the J-gate surround enables the driver to select either normal N or sport S modes.

When sport mode is selected the automatic transmission will operate normally, but the gearshift points are extended to make full use of the engine's power reserves.

To select Sport, press the switch. A red indicator within the switch is illuminated to indicate that sport mode has been selected.

To cancel Sport, press the switch again.

Note: Both sides of the J-gate can be used, irrespective of transmission mode. For example, with S selected, the transmission can be operated in full automatic mode or by manual selection.

In addition to the switched transmission modes (N and S) the transmission control module will select shift patterns to suit specific conditions.

Cruise Control

When cruise control is operating at set speed the transmission selects a shift pattern to suit cruise control operation.

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)

When DSC is switched ON and the system is activated, the transmission selects a shift pattern to suit traction control conditions.

Gradients

When the vehicle is being driven on roads with uphill gradients, the transmission adapts the shift pattern to make better use of engine power and aid engine cooling.

Note: Under the conditions previously described, the relevant transmission mode will override the N or S modes selected by the driver. When such conditions no longer exist, the transmission will revert to the shift pattern previously selected by the driver, i.e. N or S.

Cruise (Speed) Control

INTRODUCTION

The cruise (speed) control system, when fitted, can be used by the driver to maintain a selected vehicle speed above 28 km/h (17.5 mph) without the driver having to use the accelerator.

Switches on the steering wheel allow the driver manual control of the system. Brake operation also influences the cruise control system.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - INTRODUCTION - 1

text_image E86304 1 2 3 REJUMO SL1 CAMER
  1. RESUME - to resume the set speed retained in memory.
  2. SET - to set the speed or increase/decrease the set speed when the speed has been set.
  3. CANCEL - cancels cruise control but retains the set speed in memory.

OPERATION

Setting the vehicle speed

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - OPERATION - 1

WARNING:

Only use cruise control when conditions are favourable, for example, straight, dry, open roads with light traffic.

When you are travelling at the speed you require, which must be above 28 km/h (17.5 mph), press the SET button.

Cruise control will engage and maintain the set speed and you can remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.

Note: Cruise control will automatically disengage when the brake pedal is pressed or when the vehicle speed falls below 26 km/h (16 mph).

Changing the set speed

There are three ways to change the set speed:

  1. Accelerate or decelerate to the desired speed then press the SET (+) button.
  2. Increase or decrease the speed by pressing and holding either SET (+) or (−) until the desired speed is obtained, then release the switch.
  3. Increase or decrease the speed in steps of 2 km/h (1 mph) by briefly pressing either the SET (+) or (−) until the desired speed is obtained.

Resuming the set speed

If the vehicle is accelerated above the set speed, then the set speed will be resumed when the accelerator pedal is released. If CANCEL is pressed, or the brake pedal is pressed, the cruise control will disengage but the set speed memory will be retained. Press RESUME and the vehicle will return to the set speed.

Note: Cruise control will not resume at speeds below 28 km/h (17.5 mph). RESUME will not operate if the ignition has been turned off.

Cruise (Speed) Control

Caution:

  • RESUME should only be used if the driver is aware of the set speed and intends to return to it.
  • It is not recommended to resume set speed when a low gear is selected as excessive engine speeds will occur.

Cruise control will switch off and clear the memory when:

• The ignition is switched to position 0.
- A fault occurs. The cruise control system will switch OFF and cannot be used until the fault is cleared.

Cruise control automatic switch off

Cruise control will switch off but the set speed will remain in the memory when:

• The CANCEL button is pressed.
• The brake pedal is pressed.
• Speed falls below 26 km/h (16 mph).
- Neutral, Park or Reverse gear positions are selected.
- Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is operating.
- The difference between the actual and set speed is too great.
- The vehicle reaches a maximum speed of 230 km/h (144 mph).
- The accelerator pedal is used to accelerate beyond the set speed for too long a period.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

natural_image Front view illustration of a silver sedan (no text or symbols visible)

E86371

The Adaptive Cruise Control system is designed to aid the driver to maintain a gap from the vehicle ahead or a set road speed if there is no slower vehicle ahead. The system is intended to provide enhanced operation of the vehicle when following other vehicles which are in the same lane and travelling in the same direction.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) - 1

WARNING:

Adaptive Cruise Control is not a collision warning or avoidance system. Additionally, Adaptive Cruise Control will not react to:

• Stationary or slow moving vehicles below 10 km/h (6 mph).
- Pedestrians or objects in the roadway.
- Oncoming vehicles in the same lane.

The Adaptive Cruise Control system is based on the use of a radar sensor which projects a beam directly forward of the vehicle so as to detect objects ahead.

The radar sensor is mounted behind a cover on the left-hand side of the lower cooling aperture, to provide a clear view forward for the radar beam.

  • Only use Adaptive Cruise Control when conditions are favourable, that is, straight, dry, open roads with light traffic.
  • Do not use in poor visibility, specifically fog, heavy rain, spray or snow.
  • Do not use on icy or slippery roads.
  • It is the driver's responsibility to stay alert, drive safely and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
  • Keep the front of the vehicle free from dirt, metal badges or objects, including vehicle front protectors, which may prevent the sensor from operating.
  • Do not use ACC when entering or leaving a motorway.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

USING ACC
JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) - 1

text_image 1 RESLINE 2 SET 3 CANCEL 4 E86372

The system is operated by switches mounted on the steering wheel. The driver can also intervene at any time by use of the brake or accelerator pedal.

The steering wheel switches operate as follows:

  1. RESUME - to resume the set speed retained in memory.
  2. SET - to set the speed or increase/decrease the set speed when the speed has been set.
  3. CANCEL - cancels cruise control, but retains the set speed in memory.
  4. GAP - increase or decrease.

Setting the speed

Accelerate as normal until the required speed is reached.

Press the SET (+) button briefly and the vehicle speed will then be stored in the memory and the system engaged. The set speed will be displayed on the message centre.

SET SPEED

80 KM(50 MPH) (80 KM/H)

Changing the set speed

There are three ways to change the set speed:

  • Accelerate or brake to the required speed and press the SET (+) button.
  • Increase or decrease the speed by pressing and holding either the SET (+) or (−) button until the required set speed is shown on the message centre. The vehicle speed will gradually change to the selected speed.
  • Increase or decrease the speed in steps of 2 km/h (1 mph) by briefly pressing the SET (+) or (−) button.

ACC operates between approximately 34 km/h and 180 km/h (20 mph and 110 mph) dependent on the country specification.

Set speeds outside this range will not be captured.

The ACC may apply the brakes to slow down the vehicle to the new set speed. The new set speed will be displayed on the message centre until ACC is cancelled.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Entering the follow mode set gap

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) - 1

WARNING:

When in follow mode, the vehicle will not decelerate automatically to a stop, nor will the vehicle always decelerate quickly enough to avoid a collision without driver intervention.

Once a set speed has been selected, the driver can release the accelerator and the set road speed will be maintained.

When a vehicle ahead enters the same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the same lane, vehicle speed will be adjusted automatically until the gap to the vehicle ahead corresponds to the preset gap. The vehicle is now in follow mode.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

The warning indicator in the instrument panel will be illuminated,

GAP

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 2

The message centre will display the gap set.

The vehicle will then maintain the constant time gap to the vehicle ahead until:

  • The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed above the set speed.
  • The vehicle ahead moves out of lane or out of view.
    • A new gap distance is set.

If necessary, the vehicle brakes will be automatically applied to slow the vehicle to maintain the gap to the vehicle in front. The maximum braking which is applied by the ACC system is limited and can be overridden by the driver applying the brakes, if required.

Note: Driver braking will cancel Adaptive Cruise Control.

If the ACC system predicts that its maximum braking level will not be sufficient, then an audible warning will sound while the ACC continues to brake.

This is accompanied by a red warning indicator and DRIVER INTERVENE will be displayed on the message centre. The driver should take IMMEDIATE action.

When in follow mode the vehicle will automatically return to the set speed when the road ahead is clear, for instance when:

  • The vehicle in front accelerates or changes lane.
  • The driver changes lane to either side or enters an exit lane.

The driver should intervene if appropriate.

Changing the follow mode set gap

The gap from the vehicle ahead can be decreased or increased by pressing the gap setting rocker switch on the steering wheel.

Four gaps are available and the selected gap setting will be displayed on the message centre when the rocker switch is pressed.

After the ignition is switched ON the default gap will be automatically selected ready for ACC operation.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Note: It is the driver's responsibility to select a gap appropriate to the driving conditions.

Overriding the speed and follow mode

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) - 1

WARNING:

Whenever the driver is overriding the ACC by depressing the accelerator pedal, the ACC will not automatically apply the brakes to maintain separation from any vehicle ahead.

The set speed and gap can be overridden by pressing the accelerator pedal when cruising at constant speed or in follow mode.

If the vehicle is in follow mode, the instrument panel warning indicator will go out when the ACC is overridden by the driver using the accelerator and CRUISE OVERRIDE will be displayed on the message centre.

When the accelerator is released the ACC function will operate again and vehicle speed will decrease to the set speed, or a lower speed if follow mode is active.

Automatic low speed switch off

If the speed of the vehicle decreases below 30 km/h (18 mph), the ACC system will be automatically switched OFF and the instrument panel warning indicator will go out.

If the brakes were being applied by the ACC system, they will be slowly released.

This will be accompanied by an audible warning, a red warning indicator and

DRIVER INTERVENE will be displayed on the message centre. The driver must take control.

Automatic switch off

Adaptive Cruise Control will disengage, but not clear the memory when:

• The CANCEL button is pressed.
• The brake pedal is pressed.
- Neutral, Park or Reverse gear positions are selected.
• Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) activates.

Adaptive Cruise Control will disengage and clear the memory when:

• The ignition switch is switched OFF.
• Maximum vehicle speed is reached.
• A fault occurs in the ACC system.

Resuming the set speed/follow mode

Caution: RESUME should only be used if the driver is aware of the set speed and intends to return to it.

By pressing the RESUME button after ACC has been cancelled, for example, after braking, the ACC will become active again provided that the set speed memory has not been erased.

The set speed will be displayed for four seconds and the original set speed will be resumed, unless a vehicle ahead causes the follow mode to become active.

Hints on driving with ACC.

The system acts by regulating the speed of the vehicle using engine control and the brakes. Gear changes may occur in response to deceleration or acceleration whilst in ACC.

ACC is not a collision avoidance system, however, during some situations the system may provide the driver with an indication that intervention is required.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

An audible alarm will sound, accompanied by a red warning indicator and the message DRIVER INTERVENE if the ACC detects:

  • That a failure has occurred whilst the system is active.
  • That using maximum ACC braking only is not sufficient.
  • That the vehicle speed has decreased below the minimum for ACC operation.

Note:

  • Adaptive cruise control operates when the gear selector lever is in position 2, 3, 4, 5 or D.
  • When engaged, the accelerator pedal rests in the raised position. Fully release the pedal to allow normal ACC operation.

Detection beam issues

natural_image Diagram showing vehicles on a curved road with a vehicle-mounted device, no text or symbols present

JOL3033

Detection issues can occur:

  • When driving on a different line to the vehicle in front (A).
  • With vehicles that edge into your lane which can only be detected once they have moved fully into your lane (B).
  • There may be issues with the detection of vehicles when going into and coming out of a bend (C).

In these cases ACC may brake late or unexpectedly. The driver should stay alert and intervene if necessary.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

ACC malfunction

If a fault occurs during operation of the system in cruise or follow modes, the ACC system will switch OFF and cannot be used until the fault is cleared.

A red warning indicator and the message DRIVER INTERVENE appear briefly, and are then replaced by an amber warning indicator and the message CRUISE NOT AVAILABLE.

If failure of the ACC or any related system occurs at any other time, an amber warning indicator will be displayed accompanied by the message CRUISE NOT AVAILABLE. It will not be possible to activate the ACC system in any mode.

Accumulations of dirt, snow or ice on the sensor or cover may inhibit ACC operation. Fitting of a vehicle front protector or metallised badges may also affect ACC operation.

If this occurs in ACC cruise/follow mode, the red warning indicator is displayed, the audible alarm sounds and the message DRIVER INTERVENE appears briefly.

These warnings are then replaced by the amber warning indicator and the message ACC SENSOR BLOCKED is displayed. The system is no longer active.

Clearing the obstruction allows the system to return to normal operation. If the obstruction is present when ACC is inactive, e.g. on initial starting or with the ACC system switched off, the amber warning indicator will be displayed with the message ACC SENSOR BLOCKED.

Tyres other than those recommended may have different sizes. This can affect the correct operation of the ACC.

FORWARD ALERT FUNCTION

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - FORWARD ALERT FUNCTION - 1

text_image Control panel interface with icons for fuel, parking, and car, featuring a warning symbol and downward arrow

E86374

Limited detection and warning of objects ahead is provided during ACC operation by the ACC DRIVER INTERVENE warning.

The forward alert feature additionally provides warnings whilst ACC is not engaged; if an object is detected close ahead then a warning tone and message will be issued. The brakes will not be applied.

This additional feature may be switched on or off using the forward alert switch in the lower outboard knee bolster switchpack. When the indicator lamp in the switch is on, forward alert is active.

The sensitivity of the warning may be changed:

  • Press the gap decrease button when ACC is disengaged to display and then decreases the sensitivity of the alert.
  • Press the gap increase button displays and then increases the sensitivity of the alert.

Both of these are accompanied by the FORWARD ALERT message on the message centre.

Automatic Speed Limiter

Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) set speeds must be within local speed restriction limits. The driver must always ensure that a safe speed is set, taking into account the prevailing traffic and road conditions.

ASL can be used in a situation where varying vehicle speed is likely, but a maximum speed must not be exceeded.

For example, where a local speed limit is 80km/h (50mph), the set speed could be at that limit or just under. The driver is then safe in the knowledge that the local speed limit cannot be exceeded while ASL is operating.

The ASL button allows the driver to select between cruise control and the automatic speed limiter.

The ASL can be to any speed between 30 km/h (18 mph) to 240 km/h (150 mph).

When the ASL system is selected, the tell-tale status indicator in the switch will illuminate. When the ASL button is pressed again, the indicator will extinguish, ASL will be cancelled and cruise control will be available again.

USING THE ASL

Setting a speed limit

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - USING THE ASL - 1

text_image E86304 1 2 SET CANCE 3
  1. Press the ASL button. The tell tale indicator in the switch will illuminate.
  2. Press the RESUME button (1). While a speed is being set or altered the message centre display will show the selected speed.
  3. Use the +/- buttons (2) to set the required speed.
  4. The set speed can be adjusted at any time by pressing the +/- buttons (2). While a speed limit is being set or altered, a message is displayed on the message centre.

Note: The message is also displayed at other times as an information display.

When ASL is selected and a set speed inserted, the engine will respond normally up to the set speed. Further accelerator pedal pressure will not increase the vehicle speed beyond your set speed.

Suspending ASL

ASL can be suspended by pressing the CANCEL button (3). Applying sudden, rapid acceleration (kickdown) will also suspend ASL.

LIMITER CANCELLED

Resuming ASL

If ASL has been suspended, it can be reinstated with a single press of the RESUME button (1), however, ASL will only reinstate if the vehicle speed is less than the current speed set in memory and greater than 30 km/h (18 mph). The message centre will display an appropriate message if the vehicle speed is too fast to resume ASL.

TOO FAST TO RESUME LIMIT

Exceeding the set speed

If the set speed is exceeded, e.g. on a steep downhill section, the message centre will display an appropriate message along with an amber warning indicator.

OVER LIMIT XXX km/h (MPH

There are three categories of over limit displays:

  1. If the set speed is exceeded by up to 15 km/h (9 mph), the message centre will display the message along with an amber warning indicator.
  2. If the set speed is exceeded by more than 15 km/h (9 mph), the message centre will display the message along with a flashing amber warning indicator.
  3. If the set speed is exceeded by more than 15 km/h (9 mph) for a duration of five seconds, the message centre will display the message along with a flashing amber warning indicator and also give an audible warning tone.

Use your brakes to rectify the situation.

ASL unavailable

If ASL is not available due to a fault, the message centre will display an appropriate message along with an amber warning indicator.

LIMITER NOT AVAILABLE

When the ignition is switched off, ASL is deactivated and any set speed is deleted from memory.

Stability Control

DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)
JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Stability Control - 1

text_image E06378

Unless it has been switched off, Dynamic StabilityControl is operational whenever the engine is running. If the system is operating, the warning indicator in the instrument panel will flash.

The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system controls the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), traction control and yaw control of the vehicle.

Yaw control determines the vehicle's direction relative to the driver's inputs (sideslip and under/oversteer). It applies braking pressure to individual wheels if excessive variation is detected. This ensures that the vehicle follows the driver's intended direction of travel.

Traction control will intervene to prevent wheel spin, by automatically reducing the power output from the engine and applying braking to individual wheels.

This improves acceleration, particularly on surfaces with uneven friction, for example, one wheel on ice and the other on tarmac.

ABS helps to prevent the road wheels from locking and skidding during emergency braking.

When the ABS system is operating, the warning indicator in the instrument panel will flash.

The Dynamic Stability Control system can be switched OFF by pressing the switch on the centre console switchpack. The warning indicator in the instrument panel will remain on and a message will be shown to indicate that the system has been switched OFF. If the switch is pressed again the system will switch ON. If cruise control is engaged it will automatically disengage if stability control activates.

A system malfunction is indicated by the illumination of the amber DSC warning indicator and the message DSC FAULT. It is safe to drive the vehicle but the system may not activate under wheel spin or slide conditions. Report the fault to a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer as soon as possible.

Stability Control

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Stability Control - 1

WARNING:

  • The fact that the vehicle is fitted with Dynamic Stability Control must never allow the driver to be tempted into taking risks which could affect his/her safety or that of other road users. In all cases it remains the driver's responsibility to drive safely according to the prevailing conditions.
  • It is recommended that when using snow chains, DSC should be switched OFF.

Braking System

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)

This system helps to prevent the road wheels from locking and skidding during emergency braking, assisting the driver to maintain full steering and directional stability.

The factor controlling ultimate stopping distance and cornering ability is tyre/road adhesion.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) - 1

WARNING:

The fact that a vehicle is fitted with ABS must never allow the driver to be tempted into taking risks which could affect his/her safety or that of other road users.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

The addition of ABS cannot overcome the consequences of trying to stop in too short a distance or cornering at too high a speed, or the risk of aquaplaning.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

The driver should always take road conditions into account.

A slippery road surface always requires more braking distance for a given speed, even with ABS.

A possible increase in stopping distance compared to locked wheels may occur during ABS operation on slushy snow, gravel, sand, or some heavily corrugated or ridged warning sections of road surfaces.

ABS optimises tyre/road adhesion under maximum braking conditions though it cannot provide increased cornering ability. There is no need for special braking techniques, such as pumping the brakes, to achieve optimum braking distances and control on poor or slippery road surfaces. Tyres must be in good condition to achieve maximum adhesion.

During normal braking the ABS will not be activated. However, if the braking force applied begins to exceed tyre/road adhesion the ABS will automatically activate, preventing the road wheels from locking.

In these circumstances a pulsating effect will be felt from the brake pedal indicating that the system is functioning.

The pulsating effect is due to small fluctuations in pressure supplied to the brakes by the system to maintain full tyre/road adhesion.

Under severe braking on some road surfaces tyre noise may be apparent even though the wheels will at no time become locked.

ABS MONITORING

The ABS control module monitors the ABS electrical system from ignition switch ON to ignition switch OFF.

Any malfunction will be indicated by the anti-lock warning indicator coming on.

Should a fault develop in the ABS system, the brake system will still operate conventionally and with the same standard of performance as vehicles not equipped with ABS.

Braking System

Hints on driving with ABS

The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) helps the driver to maintain full steering and directional stability during emergency braking by preventing the road wheels from locking and skidding. ABS constantly monitors the speed of each road wheel and varies brake pressure to each, according to the available grip. ABS optimizes the tyre-to-road adhesion under maximum braking.

When ABS is activated, you will feel a pulsating effect on the brake pedal. This is normal and you must maintain maximum pressure on the brake pedal for ABS to be effective.

ABS will enable you to steer around obstacles during emergency braking. ABS will not eliminate the dangers inherent when:

  • driving too close to the vehicle in front of you
  • aquaplaning
    • cornering with excessive speed
    • poor road surfaces.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) warning indicator

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Hints on driving with ABS - 1

WARNING:

If the ABS warning indicator illuminates whilst driving, avoid heavy braking. Seek qualified assistance as soon as possible. Failure to follow this instruction may lead to personal injury or loss of vehicle control.

If a fault is detected in the ABS, the ABS warning indicator will illuminate. Drive with care if the ABS warning indicator illuminates or remains on after the bulb check cycle. The brake system will continue to function normally, but without ABS braking.

EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST (EBA)

The EBA system measures the rate at which the brake pressure increases. If the system detects an emergency braking situation, EBA automatically initiates the full braking effect. This can reduce stopping distances in critical situations, which can help an inexperienced driver to stop in the same distance as an experienced driver.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST (EBA) - 1

WARNING:

The EBA system is an additional safety system: it is not intended to relieve the driver of his responsibility for exercising due care and attention when driving.

Suspension

AIR 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:

  • Do not overload the vehicle. Vehicle load weights are shown on page 248.
  • 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.

Changes in ambient temperature will also have an effect on vehicle height when the vehicle is parked.

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 driving, 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, inform your Dealer/Authorised Repairer 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 Dealer/Authorised Repairer 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.

Driving Information

Before driving off, check the gauges and warning indicators and messages. Take special note of any warning indicator that is on.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Driving Information - 1

WARNING:

Ensure the EPB is on and the automatic gear selector is in P or N before attempting to start the engine.

Seat belts are provided for your safety and it is unwise, and in certain countries illegal, to commence any journey, however short, without wearing them.

DRIVING TIPS

Engine Braking on Downhill Gradients

When driving on mountain roads with long downhill gradients it is advisable to select a low gear.

Use Of Headlamps In Daylight

When visibility is poor the headlamps with low beam setting should be switched on so that the vehicle may be seen more easily by other road users. The instrument illumination dimmer control adjusts the brightness of the panel illumination.

Parking the Vehicle

When leaving the vehicle, remember the following:

  • Whenever the vehicle is being parked, apply the EPB and move the gear selector to Park P.
  • Do not leave children or pets in the vehicle unattended.
  • Do not leave luggage or valuables on view. Always take your valuables with you or lock them in the luggage compartment.

  • Remove the ignition key and spare keys, even when the vehicle is in your garage.

  • When the vehicle is unoccupied, close all windows and lock all doors securely.
  • Park the vehicle where it can be seen. At night, park in a well-lit area.
  • When leaving the vehicle unattended, for maximum security ensure that the doors are double-locked (where fitted).
  • Ensure that the keys and the key transmitters are removed from the vehicle before locking the doors, and that all doors, the luggage compartment and the bonnet are closed.

Driving Information

WINTER DRIVING

Freeing a frozen door lock

Caution: Do not apply a proprietary lock de-icer through the keyhole.

Should the lock become frozen, warm the end of the key before use.

Windscreen wiper blades

Before driving away, clear any ice from the windscreen and check that the wiper blades are free. Switching on the heated screen will accelerate this process.

Frost precautions

The correct concentration of coolant must be maintained at all times when topping up or refilling the cooling system.

TOURING

Foreign travel

Before planning foreign travel, check with a motoring organisation to ensure that your vehicle will comply with legal requirements of the countries you intend to visit.

International motoring organisations are helpful for all aspects of long distance touring advice.

In some countries it is a legal requirement to carry spare vehicle bulbs.

First aid kit

A first aid kit is compulsory equipment in certain countries. Your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer can supply a first aid kit.

Petroleum spirit in containers

Some countries forbid the carrying of petrol in containers, as do most ferry and hovercraft operators.

Cellular radio telephones

Ask your motoring organisation about the use of cellular radio telephones before travelling abroad, as some countries exercise controls on the importation and use of such equipment.

Roof rack

Only the Jaguar approved roof rack should be used, (see page 248 for load weight details).

The maximum load, including the weight of the rack, must not exceed the load rating indicated on the roof rack bars and must be deducted from the vehicle maximum luggage load.

Loads on the roof rack may affect vehicle handling, especially in crosswinds or when cornering.

Driving Information

Jaguar warning triangle

A warning triangle to give traffic advanced notice of a disabled vehicle is compulsory in many countries.

A triangle, designed to international standards, is fitted as standard equipment in certain countries.

Hazard warning lamps must be used with the warning triangle.

The warning triangle, with its stand legs folded flat, is mounted on the inside of the luggage compartment lid.

In an emergency, remove the triangle and unfold its stand legs. Place the triangle in the road in accordance with local traffic regulations to give oncoming traffic warning of an immobilised vehicle.

Driving Information

TOWING A CARAVAN OR TRAILER

Your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer, and the main motoring and caravanning organisations can advise you on towing, towing weight capacities and about regulations that apply in other countries.

The following are important points of safety, stability and comfort upon which further advice should be sought:

  • Maximum braked towing weight is permissible, provided long periods of uphill driving on gradients over 8% are not undertaken.
  • In high altitude mountainous regions, the thinner atmosphere can reduce engine performance.
    Above 1000 metres (3280 feet) the stipulated maximum permitted gross train weight must be reduced by 10% for every 1000 metres (3280 feet) in altitude.
  • The kerbside weight of the vehicle can be found in the Specifications Section, page 245, of this Handbook.
  • When towing at the maximum permissible rear axle load keep within legal towing speeds.
  • Tyres must be inflated to the normal (higher) pressures shown on the tyre pressure label on the fuel filler flap.
  • The recommended maximum tow ball nose weight is shown in the Specifications Section, page 248, of this Handbook. Having a lower nose weight or exceeding the maximum nose weight limit may impair the vehicle's handling.

  • When towing, the nose weight of the caravan or trailer and the tow bar assembly must be deducted from the permissible maximum load, see the Specifications Section, page 248, of this Handbook.

  • Avoid heavy braking. As the overrun brake on the caravan or trailer is not connected to the ABS, heavy caravan or trailer braking could critically affect the stability of the outfit as a whole.
  • Ensure that the towing vehicle's engine, transmission, suspension, brakes and tyres are fully efficient and regularly serviced. Similarly check the wheels, tyres, brakes and wheel bearings of the caravan or trailer.

Caution:

  • When not in use, it is recommended that the removable tow ball is either securely stowed in the luggage compartment or, preferably, not in the vehicle. Do not leave it loose in the vehicle.
  • It is essential that only a Jaguar tow bar and Jaguar electrical tow bar kit are supplied and fitted by a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer. This is particularly important with this vehicle having air suspension. If unapproved towing equipment is used whilst towing, the air suspension speed lowering function will not be inhibited. This may result in a change in trailer weight distribution and attitude.

Driving Information

Tow bar Fixing Points
JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Driving Information - 1

text_image Diagram showing car interior components with labeled parts A, B, and C, including a close-up of the dashboard and side view.

E86386

The mounting points (A) require drilling for tow bar mountings.

Tow ball centre height from the ground at Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) (B) = 385 mm (15.157 inches).

Tow ball centre distance from bumper cover (C) = 76 mm (3 inches).

Note: This vehicle has an aluminium body, any part drilled, and any fixings attached, must be specially protected to prevent body corrosion. For further information please contact your Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Caution: Contact your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer for details of additional parts that are advised to be fitted before towing. This is particularly important with this vehicle having air suspension. If unapproved towing equipment is used whilst towing, the air suspension speed lowering function will not be inhibited. This may result in a change in trailer weight distribution and attitude.

Fuel and Refuelling

REFUELLING

Before refuelling, switch off the ignition and remove the key.

Note: Do not leave the ignition key in the vehicle; vehicles have been stolen from garage service/filling stations whilst the driver is absent from the vehicle. It is recommended that the vehicle is locked, if left unattended.

Caution: No additives of any kind (fuel or oil) must be put into the fuel tank. Additives could reduce engine life or affect exhaust emissions.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - REFUELLING - 1

WARNING:

  • Fuel vapour is highly flammable and in confined spaces is explosive and toxic. In the event of inadvertent spillage, and before refuelling, always switch OFF the engine. Do not use exposed flame or light. Do not smoke. Do not inhale fumes.
  • Do not fill the tank so that fuel is visible in the fuel filler intake tube. This could cause spillage and danger from exposed fuel.

Filling the Fuel Tank
JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

The fuel filler flap release switch is located in the knee bolster switchpack below the facia. The filler flap is on the right-hand side of the vehicle.

A small arrow is shown on the fuel gauge as a reminder on which side of the vehicle the fuel filler flap is located.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 2

natural_image Close-up of a hand holding a mechanical component with a cable inserted, showing internal components (no text or symbols visible)

E86380

Open the fuel filler flap and turn the filler cap anti-clockwise, an 1/8 turn, and remove the cap from the filler neck. The cap is held by a retaining strap and can be stowed over the hook on the flap to allow easy access to fill the tank.

Fuel and Refuelling

A warning label on the inside of the fuel filler flap advises type/grade of fuel.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Fuel and Refuelling - 1

natural_image Close-up of a mechanical component with a shaft and housing, no visible text or symbols

E86391

When filling, the dispenser nozzle must be inserted into the filler neck sufficiently to open the trap door for fuel to flow into the fuel tank. For quickness and to completely fill the tank, ensure that the fuel nozzle rests on the filler neck as shown. Fill the tank until the filler nozzle automatically shuts off. Filling beyond this point could result in fuel spillage.

After refuelling, twist the filler cap clockwise until it clicks and close the flap, which automatically locks shut.

The continuous use of high quality fuel makes the need for additional additives unnecessary.

This will help to protect the engine components against corrosion, carbon deposit formation and prevent the fuel injection system from clogging.

If in doubt your local Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer will advise on which fuel must be used in your vehicle.

The filler neck of the fuel tank in a petrol vehicle is a small diameter to suit the unleaded fuel pump nozzle and will prevent the larger diameter leaded fuel nozzle from entering the filler neck.

Not all countries have a small diameter nozzle so care must be taken to only fill the petrol tank with unleaded fuel.

FUEL CAPACITY

Avoid the risk of running out of fuel and never intentionally drive the car when the fuel gauge indicates that the tank is empty. When refuelling your vehicle after the fuel gauge reads empty, you may not be able to add the fuel quantity shown below to the tank as there will be a small reserve remaining in the tank.

Fuel tank capacity 85 litres18.7 gallons
Fill capacity (when the fuel gauge indicates empty)79 litres17.4 gallons
Reserve capacity (when the fuel gauge indicates empty)5.8 litres1.3 gallons

Fuel and Refuelling

FUEL ECONOMY

The following tips not only lead to greater fuel economy but also reduce air pollution causing less environmental damage:

  • Try to avoid using the car for short journeys - this will lead to greater fuel economy and reduce wear on the engine.
  • Plan ahead - choose uncongested routes, combine car trips and share cars where possible.
  • Drive off as soon as possible after starting a cold engine - do not leave the engine idling until it has warmed up.
  • Drive smoothly and efficiently - harsh acceleration and heavy braking have a significant effect on fuel consumption - driving more smoothly saves fuel.
  • Slow down - driving at high speeds significantly increases fuel consumption.
  • Switch off - sitting stationary is zero miles per gallon, switch off the engine when it is safe to do so.
  • Unnecessary weight - do not carry unnecessary weight and remove roof racks when not in use.
  • Regular servicing keeps the engine at best efficiency.
  • Ensure that tyres are inflated to the correct pressure for the journey.
  • Use air conditioning and all vehicle electrical devices sparingly - all increase fuel consumption.

- Check your fuel consumption - it will help you get the most from your car and any significant change in consumption may indicate a vehicle fault.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS - PETROL ENGINES

All petrol vehicles are fitted with a catalytic system and can only use unleaded fuel.

Unleaded fuel must be used for the emission control system to operate properly. Its use will also reduce spark plug fouling, exhaust system corrosion and engine oil deterioration.

The preferred fuel should have an octane rating of at least 95 RON (Research Octane Number).

Super Green Plus 98 RON unleaded fuel (where available) may be used as an alternative to the standard 95 RON unleaded fuel.

Some countries have only 91 RON fuel available. The vehicles in these countries are specially calibrated to use this fuel.

Using unleaded fuel with an octane rating lower than recommended can cause persistent, heavy spark knock (a metallic rapping noise). If severe, this can lead to engine damage.

If a heavy spark knock is detected even when using fuel of the recommended octane rating, or if you hear steady spark knock while holding a steady speed on level roads consult a Jaguar

Dealer/Authorised Repairer to have the problem corrected.

Fuel and Refuelling

Failure to do so is misuse of the vehicle, for which Jaguar Cars Limited is not responsible. However, occasional light spark knock for a short time while accelerating or driving up hill, may occur.

Fuels containing alcohol

Caution: Take care not to spill fuel during refuelling. Fuel containing alcohol can cause paint damage, which may not be covered under the warranty.

Some fuel suppliers sell fuel containing alcohol without advertising its presence. Where uncertainty exists check with the service station operator.

Note: Some difficulty in starting may be encountered when using alcohol blended fuel.

Ethanol

Caution: This vehicle is not suitable for use with fuels containing more than 10 per cent ethanol. Do not use E85 fuels (85 per cent ethanol content).

Equipment necessary for use of fuels containing more than 10 per cent is not fitted to this vehicle. If E85 fuels are used, serious engine and fuel system damage will occur.

Fuels containing up to 10 per cent ethanol (grain alcohol) may be used. Ensure the fuel has octane ratings no lower than those recommended for unleaded fuel. Most drivers will not notice any operating difference with fuel containing ethanol. If a difference is detected, the use of conventional unleaded fuel should be resumed.

Methanol

Some fuels contain methanol (methyl or wood alcohol). If you use fuels containing methanol the fuels must also contain co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Also, do not use fuels that contain more than three per cent methanol even if they contain co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors. Fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems resulting from the use of such fuels is not the responsibility of Jaguar Cars Limited, and may not be covered under the warranty.

Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE)

Unleaded fuel containing an oxygenate known as MTBE can be used provided the ratio of MTBE to conventional fuel does not exceed 15 per cent.

MTBE is an ether based compound, derived from petroleum, which has been specified by several refiners as the substance to enhance the octane rating of fuel.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS - DIESEL ENGINES

Use only high quality diesel fuel according to specification EN 590 or equivalent.

Caution: Do not use RME (bio diesel) except in the case of those proprietary diesel fuels which contain a mix of up to 5%. Jaguar can accept no responsibility for damage caused by using RME in concentrations greater than 5%.

Prolonged use of additives is not recommended. Do not add kerosene/paraffin or petrol to diesel fuels.

Fuel and Refuelling

Caution: If you inadvertently fill your vehicle with petrol instead of diesel, do not attempt to start the engine. Contact your Jaguar Dealer/ Authorised Repairer immediately. Attempting to start the engine with petrol in the fuel tank will cause extensive damage to the engine and fuel system, which will not be covered by your Jaguar warranty. Jaguar Cars Limited can accept no responsibility for any damage caused by running your vehicle with petrol or vegetable oil in the fuel tank.

Winter grade diesel fuel

To ensure reliable diesel engine operation during cold seasonal periods, Winter grade fuel must be used. This fuel is normally available from fuel retailers during these periods and the fuel companies adjust the fuel quality to suit climatic conditions.

If the vehicle is not filled with Winter grade diesel fuel, it is recommended that the engine is idled for a period of over two minutes after starting to prevent fuel solidification during operation.

Caution: If your vehicle is fitted with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) the maximum Sulphur content must not exceed 0.005%. Using an incorrect fuel will cause serious damage to the DPF.

DIESEL PARTICLE FILTER (DIESEL MODELS ONLY)

Diesel vehicles are fitted with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) which results in additional effective exhaust emission purification. When the engine is at its normal operating temperature and the vehicle is driven at moderate speeds, 48 km/h (30 mph), or more, a regeneration of the DPF takes place automatically. This means that the exhaust particles collected in the filter are burned away and the filter is emptied.

Message centre warnings

When DPF regeneration has not been possible due to a long period of unfavourable driving conditions, a warning message DPF FULL SEE HANDBOOK plus either a RED or AMBER priority warning indicator is displayed on the message centre, see page 97.

Red priority: If the warning message with the RED priority warning indicator is displayed, a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer must be contacted as soon as possible before damage to the DPF occurs.

Amber priority: When the message is displayed with an AMBER priority warning indicator, regeneration of the DPF is required.

To carry out DPF regeneration

- To start regeneration of the DPF, drive the vehicle, preferably on a main road or motorway, until the engine reaches its normal operating temperature.

Fuel and Refuelling

  • The vehicle should then be driven for approximately a further 20 minutes, preferably at a speed of 48 km/h (30 mph) or more, but always observing speed limits and road conditions.
  • Successful regeneration of the DPF is indicated by the warning message and AMBER priority warning indicator being extinguished from the message centre.

Caution: If the vehicle is frequently driven for short distances or at speeds below 48 km/h (30 mph) for long periods, especially in cold weather conditions, the engine and exhaust system does not reach normal operating temperatures. This means that the regeneration of the DPF may be required to be carried out occasionally in order to avoid impaired function of the filter.

Caution: The regeneration procedure produces high temperatures in the DPF. Heat can be felt radiating from beneath the vehicle, which is normal and not a cause for concern. However, the vehicle should not be parked over combustible material, particularly during dry weather. The heat generated could be sufficient to start a fire when in close proximity to combustible material such as long dry grass, paper etc.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (Diesel Models only)

Vehicles with diesel engines are equipped with a system to prevent the fuel tank from emptying completely. When the fuel reaches a minimum level, the system will activate a reduced power mode (i.e. the engine will not run properly). This will be followed by the engine stopping in approximately 1.6 km (1.0 mile).

This feature prevents the fuel system from running dry, which could cause damage to the vehicle. If the gauge indicates low fuel or the warning indicator illuminates, the fuel tank should be refuelled as soon as possible at the next filling station with at least 4 litres (0.87 gallons) of fuel.

If the system protection function has activated, the vehicle must firstly be refuelled, then restarted using the following procedure:

  1. Crank the engine for five seconds, then return the ignition key to position 0 (OFF).
  2. Turn the ignition key to position II (ON). Crank the engine. The engine should start within approximately five seconds.

Note: If the engine does not start, pause for ten seconds, with the ignition key in the 0 position (OFF), before repeating the procedure from the beginning.

Fuel and Refuelling

CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTERS

A few precautions on the use of vehicles fitted with catalytic converters and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) are necessary. These are:

  • In order to maintain the efficiency of the emission control system it is essential that the correct fuel is used. If the vehicle is fitted with a petrol engine, never refuel with leaded fuel as this will seriously damage the catalytic converters. If the vehicle is fitted with a diesel engine, use only high quality diesel fuel to specification EN 590 or equivalent.
  • Heavy impact on the converter and DPF casings must be avoided.
  • The engine settings must not be altered; they have been established to ensure that the vehicle will comply with stringent exhaust emission regulations. Incorrect engine settings could cause unusually high catalytic converter and DPF temperatures and thus result in damage to the converter, DPF and vehicle. If adjustment to the settings is considered necessary, this should be performed by a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
  • A correctly tuned engine optimises exhaust emissions, performance and fuel economy and it is recommended that the vehicle is regularly maintained.

  • Do not continue to operate the vehicle if any engine malfunction is evident; malfunctions should be rectified immediately. For instance, misfire, loss of engine performance, excessive oil consumption or engine run-on may lead to unusually high catalytic converter temperatures and may result in damage to the converters and vehicle.

  • The use of catalytic converters increases exhaust system temperatures, therefore, do not operate or park the vehicle in areas where combustible materials, such as dry grass or leaves may come into contact with the exhaust system.
  • Do not run a petrol engine with either a spark plug lead disconnected or a spark plug removed. Do not use any device that requires an insert into a spark plug hole in order to generate air pressure e.g. tyre pump, paint spray attachment etc., as this could also result in catalytic converter damage.
  • The vehicle is designed for normal road use. Below are examples of abuse which could damage the catalytic converters and/or vehicle and may lead to a dangerous condition due to excessively high catalytic converter temperatures:
  • Competition or off-road use.
  • Excessive engine speed.
  • Overloading the vehicle.
  • Switching off the engine whilst in gear.

Climate Control

INTRODUCTION

The cabin is supplied with filtered air from a fully automatic electronic climate control system with manual overrides.

Two systems are available:

  • A two zone system which allows the front occupants to set individual temperatures for the left and right sides of the interior.
  • A four zone system which allows front and rear occupants to set individual temperatures, i.e. two front zones and two rear zones.

Occupant controls

Note: If your vehicle is equipped with a touch-screen, the climate controls are described in the touch-screen display handbook.

The main climate control panel is located in the centre console above the radio and audio controls.

There are two types of control panel for either two or four zone systems:

  • A dedicated control panel with LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen.
  • A multi-function touch-control and display unit shared with navigation and other systems. Where this control unit is fitted, refer to the touch-screen display handbook for the detailed operating instructions.

Where the four zone climate control system is fitted, an additional control/display panel for rear passenger use is located at the rear of the centre console, between the front seats.

Voice control

The climate control system may also be operated by spoken commands if the optional voice activation system is fitted. For full information on the use of this system refer to the touch-screen display handbook or audio systems handbook.

Automatic climate control

Automatic climate control provides efficient regulation of the vehicle environment without constant adjustments from the occupant.

Sensors inside the vehicle monitor temperature, humidity and direct sunlight. In response, the electronic control system automatically adjusts the heat input, blower speed, air intake and airflow distribution, so as to maintain the selected temperature(s) and reduce misting.

Automatic operation provides optimum comfort under most driving conditions.

It is recommended that automatic control (AUTO) is selected as the normal operating mode.

Use of air conditioning

Air conditioning is an integral part of the climate control system, providing cooled and dehumidified air for occupant comfort; the dry airflow is also effective in preventing misting of the windows.

While the air conditioner can be manually switched off, it is recommended that it is used in all climatic conditions throughout the year, preferably in AUTO mode.

Close all windows and the sunroof when the air conditioning is on to ensure satisfactory operation.

Climate Control

Use of air recirculation

The air conditioner/heater system is supplied with fresh air via an intake flap.

Closing the flap causes the air inside the vehicle to be recirculated. This helps to prevent unpleasant odours from being drawn into the vehicle and also to improve the performance of the air conditioner in very hot conditions. However, the use of recirculated air will cause screen misting after a short period and should only be used as necessary.

In AUTO mode, the air intake flap is controlled automatically. If required, air recirculation may be manually selected for either a short or indefinite period.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Use of air recirculation - 1

WARNING:

To prevent humidity build up inside the vehicle and possible screen misting, avoid driving with the air conditioning system off or with manual air recirculation selected for prolonged periods.

GENERAL POINTS

To ensure the satisfactory operation of the climate control system, note the following points:

  • Ensure that the external grille at the base of the windscreen, which provides fresh air for the climate control system, is kept clear of leaves, snow or obstructions.
  • A solar sensor, see item 1 on the next page, is mounted on the centre top of the facia. Ensure that this sensor is not covered.

  • Temperature and humidity sensors, see item 2 on the next page, are located behind the small grille. Do not cover or obstruct the opening.

  • Air ducts under the front seats supply the rear passenger footwells (see air distribution illustration). Objects or material placed under the seats may block or obstruct the open ducts.
  • The external air intake to the air conditioner/heater system is fitted with a filter. Ensure that the filter is changed at the specified service intervals to maintain efficient operation.
  • If the air conditioning system is not used frequently, it should be run briefly at least once each week, with a cold setting, to prevent the seals from drying out with subsequent refrigerant leaks.
  • Moisture removed from the air by the air conditioning unit is discharged onto the road underneath the vehicle. After stopping, puddles of water may form underneath the vehicle.

Emergency Starting

ROLLING START

This vehicle is fitted with automatic transmission. In the event of a discharged battery preventing a normal engine start, the vehicle cannot be started by pushing or towing. Either use jump leads connected to a booster battery (e.g. on another vehicle) or fit a fully charged battery.

USING JUMP LEADS

Both the booster and discharged battery should be treated with great care when using jump leads. Always use high quality leads capable of carrying the starter current of the vehicle to be started.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - USING JUMP LEADS - 1

WARNING:

To avoid serious injury use extreme caution when removing the booster cables as the engine will be running on the previously disabled vehicle. This means that you will be working close to components which are moving at high speed, carry high voltage, or may be hot.

Before commencing, the following precautions must be taken:

  • When the battery of another vehicle is being used, ensure that the vehicles do not touch. Alternatively, remove the charged battery and place near to, not on, the vehicle with the discharged battery.
  • Ensure that both vehicles have all electrical services OFF, the parking brakes applied and the transmission in the P (park) position.

- Where the jump leads are of a different colour, e.g. red and black, use red for positive (+). This aids identification and helps to avoid crossing positive (+) to negative (−). Take extra care to avoid crossing the polarity when using cables of the same colour.

Caution: If using a jump start vehicle, under no circumstances should the vehicles come into contact with each other. This could establish an earth connection, which may cause sparks and damage.

Caution: Do not run the engine of the jump start vehicle when boost starting a Jaguar vehicle. If the jump start vehicle's engine is running and the jump leads are disconnected, damage to the Jaguar vehicle's electrical system will result.

Note: The booster battery must be of the 12 volt type.

The procedure must be followed exactly, being careful not to cause sparks:

  1. Gain access to the battery which is under the luggage compartment floor (see page 187) and unclip the battery positive (+) terminal cover.
  2. Attach one end of the red jump lead to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery and the other end to the positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery. Make sure that a good connection is made.

Caution: Do not connect the negative jump lead directly to the negative (-) terminal of the discharged vehicle.

  1. Attach one end of the black jump lead to the negative (−) terminal of the booster battery and the other end to the earth stud on the left-hand side of the spare wheel well.
  2. Start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery.

  3. When started, allow the engine to idle for five minutes before disconnecting the cables.

  4. Disconnect the black jump lead from the earth point and the booster battery negative (−) terminal.
  5. Disconnect the red jump lead from the positive (+) terminals of both batteries.
  6. Refit the cover to the positive (+) terminal.
  7. Close the luggage compartment floor panel.

After starting the engine, it may be necessary to reset the Electric Parking Brake.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Transporter tie-down procedure - 1

WARNING:

Avoid body contact with a hot exhaust pipe when securing the vehicle to the transporter.

IMPORTANT: Use straps over the wheels/tyres only, to secure the vehicle to the transporter.

Caution:

Do not use the tie-down brackets on the vehicle rear underbody; these are for Jaguar factory use only. Do not lash the body to the transporter. In time, with the engine switched off, the vehicle body will drop due to settling of the air suspension system and cause the tie down chains/straps to become slack if connected to the tie-down brackets or to any part of the body.

The towing eye is not designed for securing the vehicle during transportation.

Vehicle failure

The removable towing eye is primarily for emergency use when towing for SHORT DISTANCES, e.g. removing the vehicle if it is causing an obstruction or for winching the vehicle onto a recovery transporter. To prevent damage to the automatic transmission whilst the vehicle is being towed with the rear wheels on the ground, towing distance must be restricted to 0.8 kilometres (0.5 miles). Towing speed must not exceed 48 km/h (30 mph).

Always obey towing regulations. In certain countries the registration number of the towing vehicle and an ON TOW sign or warning triangle must be displayed in a prominent position at the rear of the vehicle being towed.

When being towed, the gear selector lever must be in neutral (position N) with the ignition key turned to position II to release the steering lock and render the indicators, horn and brake lamps operational.

Fire Extinguisher

DEALER FITTED FIRE EXTINGUISHER

Many countries make it compulsory to carry a fire extinguisher. Your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer can supply and fit one.

FACTORY FITTED FIRE EXTINGUISHER

(Where fitted)

Some countries have a factory fitted fire extinguisher which contains powder pressurised with nitrogen.

This extinguisher can be used on liquid fires, electrical equipment fires and, if no explosion risk, gaseous fires.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - FACTORY FITTED FIRE EXTINGUISHER - 1

WARNING:

Do not test the fire extinguisher prior to use. Partial discharge will render the extinguisher inoperative.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Do not use the fire extinguisher closer than 2.4m (8 feet) to the base of a liquid fire as the force may splatter the burning liquid to the surrounding area.

Operating the Fire Extinguisher
JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

  1. Unclip and remove the extinguisher from the bracket.
  2. Put your finger through the yellow safety wedge ring (1) and pull hard to remove the wedge. The operating lever will be exposed.
  3. Hold the extinguisher upright and aim at the base of the fire.
  4. Press the lever down firmly.
  5. Release the lever to stop the flow of powder.

Maintenance

Every six months:

  • Remove the extinguisher from its bracket and check that the nozzle is clear.
  • Check that the safety wedge strap (2) is secure.

Check the pressure gauge on the base of the extinguisher. If the gauge is in the red area report it to your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer immediately as the extinguisher may not work in an emergency.

General Maintenance

REGULAR CHECKS

In the interests of safety and reliability, it is advisable to carry out the following checks at the recommended intervals, and always before starting on a long journey.

DAILY

Check that there is sufficient fuel for the journey intended, particularly at night and before joining motorways.

WEEKLY

Tyres

Check the tyres, including the spare, for condition and pressure. Tyre pressures are explained on page 250, and shown on a label inside the fuel filler flap.

Lamps

Check that all exterior lamps and direction indicators function correctly and that the lenses are clean.

Engine oil

With the vehicle standing on level ground, check the oil level and top up if necessary with oil of the correct grade.

Engine coolant

With the engine cold, check the level of the coolant in the coolant reservoir header tank. Any loss of fluid must be checked by a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Brake fluid

Check the level of the fluid in the brake fluid reservoir. Top-up if necessary with new, unused Jaguar approved brake fluid.

The reservoir is initially nearly full, but the level will drop as the brake pads wear. If the level appears unusually low, location of the fluid leakage must be checked by a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Power steering fluid

With the engine cold, check the level of the fluid in the power steering fluid reservoir. Top up if necessary with fluid of the correct specification. Any loss of fluid should be checked by a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

MONTHLY

Windscreen washer fluid

Top up with recommended windscreen washer fluid and clean soft water. Check the operation of the washers. Use Jaguar Windscreen Washer Fluid to keep the glass clean and also to prevent the fluid from freezing during cold weather.

Wiper blades

Check the quality of the wipe. If smearing or juddering is evident, clean the windscreen and wiper blades.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL

Petrol engines
JAGUAR XJ (2000) - ENGINE OIL LEVEL - 1

text_image V6 2 1 MAX MIN V8 2 1 JAG0651

Check the oil level regularly with the vehicle on flat, level ground, see pages 216 for dipstick and oil filler locations.

It is preferable to check the oil level after the vehicle has been standing, that is, with the engine completely cold.

If the engine has been started do not check the oil level until the engine has reached normal operating temperature. Stop the engine and wait for a minimum of five minutes to allow the oil to drain back into the sump.

Remove the dipstick (1) and wipe clean with a non-fluffy cloth. Replace fully, then withdraw the dipstick. If the oil level is above the lower of the two dots on the dipstick then no additional oil is required.

If the oil level reaches the lower of the two dots, remove the oil filler cap (2) and add 1.0 litre (1.76 Imperial pints) of oil, to the specification shown on page 218.

Refit the filler cap and hand tighten securely.

Caution: Your vehicle warranty may be invalidated if damage is caused by using oil that does not meet the required specification.

Caution: Failure to use an oil that meets the required specification could cause excessive engine wear, a build up of sludge and deposits, and increase pollution. It could also lead to engine failure.

Caution: Overfilling with oil could result in severe engine damage. Oil should be added in small quantities and the level re-checked to ensure that the engine is not overfilled.

Refit the dipstick and filler cap and securely tighten the filler cap by hand.

Jaguar recommends Castrol

Oil specification - Petrol engine

An oil of 5W-30 viscosity to Jaguar specification WSS M2C913 - B must be used in all vehicles with a petrol engine.

For top up purposes only, where the WSS M2C913 - B specification cannot be found, ACEA A3/B3 or ACEA A1/B1 specification oils may be used.

Oil specification - Diesel engine

An oil of 5W-30 viscosity meeting Jaguar specification WSS M2C913 – B is preferred. Where this is not possible, oil meeting ACEA B1 or ACEA B3 may be used.

SAE viscosity rating

For climates ranging from -30^ ( -22^ ) and +50^ ( +122^ ), the following oil viscosities may be used:

0W-30

5W-30 (preferred)

0W-40

5W-40

Note: It is recommended that the oil level is topped up using oil of the same viscosity. If you are unsure which oil viscosity is used in your car, your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer will be able to advise.

If you are operating this vehicle in climates outside the above temperature range, contact your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice.

Checking and Top-up

Engine Oil Consumption

A certain amount of oil consumption is normal. The rate of consumption will depend on the following:

• The quality and viscosity of the oil.
- The amount of oxidation and dilution of the oil.
- Climatic conditions.
- The speed at which the engine is being operated.
- Road conditions.

Drivers should expect above normal consumption when the engine is new, and after running-in if high speeds are sustained.

Used Engine Oil

WARNING:

Some screen washer products are inflammable, particularly if high or undiluted concentrations are exposed to sparking. Do not allow screen washer fluid to come into contact with naked flames or sources of ignition.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

If the vehicle is operated in temperatures below 4^ C ( 40^ F), use a washer fluid with frost protection. In cold weather, failure to use a washer fluid with frost protection, could result in impaired vision and increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

Caution: Do not use an antifreeze or vinegar/water solution in the washer reservoir - antifreeze will damage painted surfaces, while vinegar can damage the windscreen washer pump.

Caution: Body panels may suffer discolouration as a result of screen washer fluid spillage. Take care to avoid spillage, particularly if an undiluted or high concentration is being used. If spillage occurs, wash the affected area immediately with water.

The washer reservoir contains the fluid for the windscreen washers and the headlamp powerwash system (where fitted).

Fill to just below the neck with Jaguar Windscreen Washer Fluid diluted with clean, preferably soft water as specified in the instructions on the bottle.

Do not over-fill.

Note: Using a non-approved fluid may adversely affect the wiper blade rubber, resulting in ineffectual and noisy wiping.

Capacity

The windscreen washer reservoir capacity:

• without headlamp wash is 4.5 litres (7.9 Imperial pints).
• with headlamp wash is 7.1 litres (12.3 Imperial pints).

Cold weather precautions

To prevent damage to the pump during freezing conditions, use Jaguar Windscreen Washer Fluid at the strength shown on the bottle, for the anticipated ambient temperature.

natural_image Illustration of a hand using a tool to adjust a mechanical component, with an inset showing the top view of a device labeled 'MAX' (no text or symbols on the diagram itself)

E86397

Refer to pages 216 for the engine coolant reservoir location.

The coolant level MAX and MIN indicators are located inside the reservoir and are only visible when looking into the filler neck with the cap removed. Check the level only when the engine is cold.

The coolant level should be between the MAX and MIN indicators. If persistent coolant loss is noticed, have a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer investigate the cause immediately.

Caution: Running the engine without coolant will cause serious engine damage.

Topping up

WARNING:

Never remove the filler cap when the engine is hot - escaping steam or scalding water could cause serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Avoid spilling antifreeze onto a hot engine - a fire may result.

WARNING:

Unscrew the filler cap slowly, allowing the pressure to escape before removing completely.

WARNING:

Do not allow anti-freeze to make contact with skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse the affected area immediately with plenty of water.

Caution: When travelling in territories where the water supply contains salt, always ensure you carry a supply of fresh (rain or distilled) water. Topping up with salt water will cause serious engine damage.

Caution: Anti-freeze will damage paintwork. Avoid spillage.

Top up with a mixture of 50% water and 50% antifreeze until the coolant is between the MAX and MIN indicators inside the header tank. Use anti-freeze to specification WSS M97B44, coloured orange, Extended Life Coolant. This 50/50% mixture gives frost protection for temperatures down to -40^ C ( -40^ F).

Checking and Top-up

Do not mix any other antifreeze with that specified; inferior quality antifreeze may be ineffective in maintaining adequate frost and corrosion protection to the cooling system.

Refit the filler cap and hand-tighten securely until the ratchet operates.

Engine antifreeze

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Engine antifreeze - 1

WARNING:

Antifreeze is poisonous and can be fatal if swallowed - keep containers sealed and out of the reach of children. If accidental consumption is suspected, seek medical attention immediately.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

If the fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

Caution: The use of non-approved antifreeze will have an adverse effect on the engine cooling system and therefore engine durability.

Caution: Antifreeze will damage painted surfaces; soak up any spillage with an absorbent cloth immediately and wash the area with a mixture of car shampoo and water.

When used at the correct concentration, antifreeze not only protects the engine from frost damage in winter, it also provides all year round protection against internal corrosion.

The coolant solution may remain in the cooling system for five years or 250,000 km (156,000 miles) after which the system should be drained, flushed and refilled.

Engine block heater

Diesel engines are more difficult to start when the ambient temperature is very low. In geographical areas where temperatures below -10^ ( 14^ ) are experienced frequently, it is advisable to fit an engine block heater. The block heater will have an insulated connector at the front of the vehicle. Attach an extension cable to this connector and plug the other end into a 230/220 volt mains electricity supply socket. The heater can remain in use overnight if required. Typically, an engine block heater will use between 400W and 1000W per hour.

For further information consult your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Caution: The fitting of an engine block heater does not eliminate the need for antifreeze.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

Do not allow the battery posts or terminals to come into contact with your skin. They contain lead, and lead compounds which are toxic. Always wash your hands thoroughly after handling the battery.

Caution: Do not allow battery electrolyte to come into contact with fabrics or painted surfaces. If battery electrolyte comes into contact with any surface, the surface should be washed down immediately with copious amounts of clean water. Battery electrolyte is both corrosive and toxic, and can damage a wide range of materials if left.

The exterior of the battery should be occasionally wiped clean to remove any dirt or grease.

If a new battery is to be fitted, it must be the same type as the original.

The use of unapproved batteries is not recommended and could invalidate the vehicle warranty.

Note:

The service life of the battery is dependent on its condition of charge. It must always be sufficiently charged for the battery to last an optimum length of time.

ALTERNATOR

To prevent damage to the alternator, do not run the engine while the battery or any of the charging circuit cables are disconnected.

The alternator has polarity-sensitive components that will be irreparably damaged if subjected to incorrect polarity. Ensure that the battery earth lead is always connected to the battery negative terminal.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - BATTERY LEAD DISCONNECTION AND RECONNECTION - 1

natural_image Technical illustration of an automotive battery pack with wiring and mounting bracket (no text or symbols)

Caution: Under no circumstances should a battery be disconnected whilst the ignition circuit is live, as permanent damage to the instrument panel may occur.

Caution: Disconnect the negative lead (earth terminal) first.

Fold the luggage compartment floor panel forwards.

Slacken the negative lead pinch bolt and disconnect the negative (−) battery lead. Slacken the positive lead pinch bolt and disconnect the positive (+) battery lead.

Battery lead connection

Note: Upon battery reconnection the security system will be armed. Opening any protected entry will sound the alarm. Make sure that a key or key transmitter is available.

Caution: Do not over-tighten the pinch bolts.

Clean the battery posts and coat the post bases with petroleum jelly.

Ensure the vent tube is connected and free from kink or damage.

Connect the positive (+) lead, tighten the pinch bolt and clip the positive terminal cover on the battery. Connect the negative (−) lead and tighten the pinch bolt.

After the battery has been reconnected and the ignition switch is turned to position II, the message centre display will initially show an erroneous reading i.e.

- - - - - . This will remain until after the bulb check sequence, when the correct recorded distance will be displayed. This is a normal function of the instrument panel.

After battery reconnection

After reconnecting the battery:

  • Reset the Electric Parking Brake (EPB); see page 124.
  • Reset the electrically operated windows anti-trap function; see page 78.
  • The trip computer will lose all recorded trip data and all trip functions will be reset to zero. The vehicle total odometer reading is retained.
  • The radio will not operate until the correct security code has been re-entered. Refer to the audio systems handbook or the touch-screen display handbook.
  • If the battery is disconnected for more than 72 hours the radio preset channels will need to be reset.

Battery

  • Where fitted, the TV preset channels may need to be reset. Refer to the touch-screen display handbook.
  • Reset the clock to the correct time.

The engine electronic control system adapts to certain characteristics of the vehicle. These adaptations are lost if the battery is disconnected.

On reconnection, therefore, some slightly abnormal drive symptoms may occur and the vehicle may need to be driven 16 kilometres (10 miles) or more while the control system re-adapts.

BATTERY CHARGING

Ensure that the charger positive (+) lead is connected to the positive (+) terminal of the battery and the negative (−) lead is connected to the negative (−) terminal of the battery.

Do not remove or loosen any of the cell plugs when charging the battery.

WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADES

Inspect and clean

Lift the wiper blades clear of the windscreen and wipe the blades with a clean, soft cloth moistened with water to which a mild liquid detergent has been added.

Use Jaguar Screen Clean Paste to remove contamination from the windscreen to ensure effective wiping or if smearing or juddering becomes evident.

A more aggressive cleaning agent may be required to remove stubborn contamination. Contact a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice.

To ensure that the windscreen remains smear-free, the washer system should be operated whenever the wipers are used, even when it is raining.

BLADE REPLACEMENT

As the windscreen washer jets are mounted on the wiper arms, it is recommended that the wiper blades are changed by a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Caution: Only fit the correct length and type of wiper blade. Failure to do so may cause damage to the wiper system, it may also affect the operation of the rain sensor.

Note: The windscreen washer jets and headlamp washer jets are not adjustable.

Wheels and Tyres

TYRE CARE

Tyre pressures

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - TYRE CARE - 1

WARNING:

Improperly inflated tyres can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control.

Caution: Never exceed the maximum pressure stated on the sidewall. Over-inflation could cause the tyre to fail suddenly.

Note: It is an offence in certain countries to drive a vehicle with tyres that are not inflated in accordance with the vehicle's proper use.

The recommended tyre pressures are written on a label, inside the fuel filler flap. These tyre pressures provide optimum ride and handling characteristics for all normal operating conditions.

In the interest of safety, reliability and fuel efficiency, check the tyres, including the spare, for condition and pressure on a weekly basis.

Pressure checks must be carried out when the tyres are cold and the vehicle has been standing in ambient local conditions for at least one hour.

Do not check tyre pressures immediately after the tyres have travelled a distance of one mile or more. Tyre temperatures and pressures increase when running.

Deflating a warm tyre to the recommended pressure will result in under-inflation. This could be dangerous.

If tyre pressures are checked while the vehicle is inside a protected covered area, e.g. a garage, and subsequently driven in lower outdoor temperatures, tyre under-inflation could occur.

A slight pressure loss occurs naturally with time. If this exceeds 14 kPa (2 lbf/in ^2 , 0.14 bar) per week, have the cause investigated and rectified by a qualified technician.

Ambient temperature pressure compensation

If the intended journey will take the vehicle into an area where the ambient local temperature is known to be lower than the journey start point, tyre pressure under inflation could occur.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Ambient temperature pressure compensation - 1

text_image Weather and transportation diagram showing sun, car, snowflake, checkmark, and cross symbols for vehicle inspection

E86402

A colder ambient local temperature will reduce pressure within the tyre. An effect is to decrease sidewall height and to increase tyre shoulder wear with the potential for tyre failure. Vehicle dynamics could also be adversely affected.

Wheels and Tyres

In order to minimise this effect, tyre pressures can be adjusted to compensate before the start of the journey. Alternatively, tyre pressures can be adjusted when the area of lower ambient temperature is reached.

In this situation the vehicle must be left in the ambient local temperature for a least one hour before tyre pressure is adjusted.

To compensate for colder ambient temperatures, tyre pressures should be increased by 2lbf/in ^2 (0.14 bar / 14 kPa) for each 10°C (20°F) decrease.

Note: Ensure that correct tyre pressures are maintained when moving to areas of differing ambient temperature.

The Tyre Pressure Monitoring system (TPM system) may issue a warning if the under-inflation becomes significant. When driving through variable climatic conditions the TPM system warnings may be intermittent.

In areas of extended high ambient temperature, vehicle tyres can be affected by a softening of the tyre sidewall. If the vehicle is stationary for long periods, the effect is to slightly deform the tyre at the point where the tyre meets the standing surface. This is known as a flat spot.

This is normal tyre behaviour, however, when the vehicle is subsequently driven, vibration may be experienced from the deformed tyre. The condition will steadily improve with additional mileage.

In order to minimise this effect, tyre pressures can be adjusted before the start of the journey to compensate.

For each 10^ C ( 20^ F) increase in temperature above 20^ C ( 68^ F), tyre pressure should be increased by 2lbf/in (0.14 bar / 14 kPa).

Tyre pressures during long term vehicle storage

To minimise the possibility and effects of flat spots during storage, the tyres may be inflated to the maximum pressure indicated on the tyre wall.

Note: Before using the stored vehicle on the road again, ensure that correct tyre pressures are restored.

Wheels and Tyres

Wear

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Wear - 1

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Wear - 2

All tyres fitted as original equipment include Tread Wear Indicators (TWI) in their tread pattern. When the tread has worn to a remaining depth of 1.6 mm the indicators appear at the surface as bars which connect the tread pattern across the full width of the tyre.

It is illegal, in certain countries, to continue to use tyres after the tread has worn to less than 1.6 mm over three quarters of the width and the entire circumference of the tyre.

It should be noted that the properties of many tyres alter progressively with wear. In particular, the wet grip and aquaplaning resistance are gradually but substantially reduced. Extra care and speed restriction should therefore be exercised on wet roads as the effective tread depth diminishes.

Incorrect wheel alignment will accelerate tyre wear. If there is wear on the inner or outer edges of the tread pattern it will be advantageous to have the cause detected by having the wheel alignment checked.

Do not interchange tyres from side to side, front to rear or vice versa.

Damage

Excessive local distortion can cause the casing of a tyre to fracture and may lead to premature failure. Tyres should be examined especially for cracked walls, exposed cords, etc. Flints and other sharp objects must be removed from the tyre tread; if left in they may work through the cover. Clean off any oil or grease contamination by using a suitable cleaner.

Caution: Do not use paraffin (kerosene), because this has a detrimental effect on rubber.

Tyre repair

Damaged tyres should be replaced with new tyres fitted. They must not be repaired in view of the high performance capability of the vehicle.

Tyre replacement

When replacing tyres, it is preferable to fit a complete vehicle set. If either front or rear tyres only need to be renewed, new tyres must be fitted as axle sets.

After new tyres have been fitted the wheels need to be dynamically balanced.

Do not fit tyres with a different tread pattern, size or speed rating.

The installation of replacement tyres with steel cord body plies in the tyre sidewall may cause malfunction of the TPM system and is not recommended (cord material information is moulded on the tyre sidewall).

Additionally, if your vehicle was equipped with run-flat tyres, replacing them with tyres that are not identical to those originally fitted may cause malfunction of the TPM system, and is not recommended.

Wheels and Tyres

Always check your TPM system indicator after replacing one or more tyres on your vehicle.

Tyre ageing

Tyres degrade over time, even when they are not being used. It is recommended that tyres generally be replaced after six years of normal service. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions can accelerate the ageing process.

You should replace the spare tyre when you replace the other road tyres due to the ageing of the spare tyre.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING - 1

WARNING:

The Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system is NOT a substitute for manually checking tyre pressures. Tyre pressures, including the spare wheel, should be checked regularly, when cold, using an accurate pressure gauge and inflated to the correct pressure. Failure to properly maintain your pressures could increase the risk of tyre failure, with consequential loss of vehicle control and personal injury.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - WARNING: - 1

WARNING:

The TPM system cannot register damage to a tyre. Regularly check the condition of your tyres.

Note:

  1. Non-approved accessories may interfere with the system. If this occurs, TYRE PRESSURE SYSTEM FAULT is displayed in the message centre.
  2. Certain tyres may affect the performance of the TPM system. Always replace tyres in accordance with recommendations, see page 231.

Your vehicle may be equipped with a TPM system which monitors pressure in each tyre (temporary-use spare wheels are not fitted with sensors and are consequently not monitored).

Wheels and Tyres

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Wheels and Tyres - 1

natural_image Technical illustration of two mechanical components with numbered parts (1 and 2), no visible text or symbols

Wheels fitted with a TPM system can be easily visually identified by the external metal lock nut and valve (1). All Jaguar non-TPM system wheels have a rubber valve fitted (2).

Vehicle speed

If a vehicle is to be driven at speeds above 160 km/h (100 mph), the tyre pressures must be set to the recommended higher pressure stated on the tyre pressure label. If this is not carried out, the TPM system will display the message TYRE

PRESSURES LOW FOR SPEED, the amber warning indicator within the panel and the AMBER priority warning indicator will be illuminated. In the event of this warning being displayed, the vehicle speed should be reduced.

Note: Always reset the tyres to Comfort pressures when speeds below 160 km/h (100 mph) are resumed.

TPM system operation

The TPM system monitors pressure of the tyres via sensors located in each wheel and a receiver located within the vehicle. Communication between sensor and receiver is via Radio Frequency (RF) signals.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - TPM system operation - 1

The tyre pressure warning comprises the TPM warning indicator, see page 93, the

amber priority warning indicator and an associated message within the message centre, see page 99.

If a warning appears one or more of your tyres is significantly under-inflated. You should stop and check your tyres as soon as possible and inflate them to the recommended pressure see page 231. If warnings re-occur frequently, the cause must be determined and rectified.

Caution: When inflating tyres, care should be taken to avoid bending or damaging the TPM system valves. Always ensure correct alignment of the inflation head to the valve stem.

Driving with an under-inflated tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread life and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.

Wheels and Tyres

Your vehicle will also indicate a TPM system malfunction by initially flashing and subsequent continuous illumination of the warning tell-tale. A text message will accompany the system malfunction and will display TYRE PRESSURE

SYSTEM FAULT. When a malfunction occurs, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as intended. TPM system malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons which may include other radio frequency systems that could cause interference or the fitting of non-recommended tyres.

Tyre pressures

To correctly set the tyre pressures, see page 231.

Spare tyre pressure: The full size spare tyre should be inflated to the highest pressure for the specified tyre size.

If a wheel and tyre needs changing

If the temporary-use spare wheel is fitted the system will automatically recognise the change in wheel positions. Then after approximately ten minutes of driving above 25 km/h (18 mph), a message

TYRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAULT will be displayed accompanied by illumination of the warning tell-tale and the amber priority warning indicator.

The warning telltale will initially flash and will subsequently revert to continuous illumination. Extended use of the temporary-use spare wheel will produce an additional text message TYRE

PRESSURE SYSTEM FAULT.

This TPM system display sequence will be activated at every ignition cycle until the temporary-use spare wheel is replaced by a fully operational full size wheel and tyre assembly.

Always replace the temporary-use wheel before having TPM system faults investigated. The fault may well be rectified with the fitment of a fully operational full size running tyre in lieu of the temporary-use spare wheel assembly.

Tyre changing

Always have your tyres serviced or changed by a qualified engineer.

Care must be taken to avoid contact between the bead of the tyre and the sensor during removal and refitting of the tyre, otherwise the sensor may become damaged and or inoperable.

Caution: Valve stem seal, washer, nut, valve core and cap should be replaced at every tyre change. Valve stem seal, washer and nut must be replaced if valve retention nut is loosened. Sensor units and nuts must be refitted using correct torque figures and associated profile. Damage to the vehicle may result if these precautions are not taken.

Sensors can be removed from the wheel by the unscrewing of the valve retention nut.

Replacement sensor

Should the sensor require replacing, it should be carried out by a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

A replacement sensor must be fitted to a running wheel in order to be recognised by the TPM system. Recognition only occurs when the vehicle is driven above 25 km/h (18 mph) for approximately ten minutes.

Wheels and Tyres

If the TPM system warning for any wheel does not clear, even after ensuring correct inflation and driving for more than ten minutes above 25 km/h (18 mph), you should seek qualified assistance as soon as possible.

Radio Frequency Approval

The TPM system transmitters and receivers meet European approval.

WINTER (SNOW) TYRES

The tyres fitted as original equipment are designed with a rubber compound, tread pattern and width specially suited for high speeds in normal road conditions, but they are less suitable during extremes of low temperatures, snow and ice. The use of winter tyres will considerably improve the vehicle's handling during these conditions.

It is recommended that only Jaguar approved winter tyres are used (see page 250).

Tyre directional indicators must be rotating in a clockwise direction when viewed from the right-hand side of the vehicle, and anti-clockwise when viewed from the left-hand side of the vehicle.

Do not exceed the tyre speed rating when using winter tyres.

Winter tyres must be used in vehicle sets, that is, fitted on all four wheels.

SNOW CHAINS

Snow chains, of the recommended type, may only be fitted to rear wheels.

Contact your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer for details and availability of approved snow chains.

The maximum speed when using snow chains is 48 km/h (30 mph).

Remove the snow chains immediately the roads are clear of snow.

Ensure the fitting instructions supplied with the snow chains are kept in a safe place, for example, with this literature pack.

Note: Dynamic Stability Control MUST be switched OFF when using snow chains.

Vehicle Care

INTERIOR CARE

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - INTERIOR CARE - 1

WARNING:

Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when cleaning the steering wheel or instrument panel to avoid contamination of the airbag system. Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when cleaning the seat -mounted side airbags. Such products could contaminate the side airbag system and affect performance of the side airbag in a collision.

Brush and clean the interior regularly. Use a vacuum cleaner where possible to remove all dust from the interior and trim.

Carpets

Marks or stains can be removed by gentle scrubbing with a weak solution of soap and warm water.

For more stubborn stains a commercially available carpet cleaner should be used. See your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice.

Headlining

Remove dust in the headlining with a vacuum cleaner. To remove stains, dab gently without pressing, using a fluff-free white cloth, moistened with Jaguar Upholstery Cleaner.

Do not use methylated spirit or solvents as this may cause damage or discoloration to the headlining.

EXTERIOR CARE

Note: All the cleaning materials mentioned in this section are available from the Jaguar Accessory Range.

Vehicle washing

For best results, do not wash the vehicle under strong sunlight. Always allow the vehicle to cool down before washing.

Do not use a dry cloth to wipe dirty paintwork. Dust and gritty substances are abrasive and will scratch the paintwork. Remove dirt using a cellulose sponge and plenty of warm (never hot) water. Rinse off with clean water and dry using a clean, damp chamois leather.

Do not use household soaps or detergents. The use of Jaguar Vehicle Shampoo is recommended.

Do not direct hoses at full force around door and luggage compartment seals. Using high pressure water jets on the paintwork is not recommended.

Do not allow bird droppings or tree sap to harden. Remove from paintwork immediately with a lukewarm soap and water solution.

In winter, when salt is used on the roads, wash the vehicle frequently, and immediately after encountering such conditions. Clean undersides and wheel arches using a high pressure jet.

Automatic car wash

Note: Regular use of automatic car washes tends to dull the lustre of the paintwork.

Vehicle Care

After leaving the car wash, switch on the windscreen wipers immediately to remove water and prevent a build up of wax. Jaguar Screen Clean Paste can be used to clean any residual wax from the glass.

Caution: Ensure the rain sensitive windscreen wipers are switched OFF before entering an automatic car wash, to prevent damage to the wiper blades/arms.

Removing grease or tar

Remove grease or tar with Jaguar Tar Remover or methylated spirit (alcohol). White spirit is also effective, but must not be applied to rubber, particularly the windscreen wiper blades.

Glass surfaces

To avoid scratching glass surfaces, do not clean dirty glass with dry paper or cloth. Use clean, warm water and a chamois leather which is reserved for glass only.

The following products will ensure glass surfaces and windscreen wipers are kept in good condition:

Jaguar Screen Clean Paste – Apply to the exterior of the windscreen only to ensure effective operation of the windscreen wipers.

Jaguar Glass Cleaner – Interior and exterior of all other glass surfaces.

Jaguar Screen Wash – Washer reservoir additive.

Jaguar Winter Care Kit comprising de-icer, ice scraper, anti-mist wipe cloth and aerial cleaner – for use in adverse weather conditions.

Note:

  • Renew the wiper blades when worn to prevent scratching. Clean the rubber wiper blades regularly with a mild detergent solution.
  • It is advisable to clean the windscreen with Jaguar Screen Clean Paste at regular intervals.

Cleaning the rear screen

To avoid damaging the heating and radio elements when cleaning the inside of the rear screen use only a soft, damp cloth or chamois leather. Do not use solvents or sharp objects to clean the glass.

Polishing paintwork and brightwork

For maximum protection against road dust, salts, industrial fall-out etc., it is recommended that the vehicle is polished regularly using Jaguar Polish and a Polishing Cloth.

Note: The vehicle's brightwork should be cleaned in the same way as the paintwork: Chrome polish or other abrasive cleaners must not be used.

Paint chips

Scratches and chips should be touched in before weathering action begins. Inspect the paintwork immediately after the vehicle has been washed.

Underbonnet cleaning

Underbonnet cleaning using high pressure hoses or steam cleaners should be done by a Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Indiscriminate use of cleaning equipment could damage or contaminate the electronic control modules and fuse boxes.

Vehicle Care

CARE OF ALLOY ROAD WHEELS

The alloy road wheels are covered with a protective anti-corrosion coating. To prevent corrosion it is essential that this coating is not damaged.

When removing or fitting tyres always advise the tyre fitter to treat the alloy wheels with great care and to only use equipment with spigot or stud hole clamping. The equipment must not have any moving parts which contact the wheel, and tyre levers must not be used.

Wash the wheels with soap and water at two week intervals to avoid an accumulation of particles which could become embedded in the wheel surface. In salty conditions the wheels should be cleaned weekly.

In compliance with German Road Traffic Law, the size of the wheel rims is stamped or cast on all wheels.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - CARE OF ALLOY ROAD WHEELS - 1

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - GENERAL INFORMATION - 1

WARNING:

Sustained exposure to high sound levels can damage your hearing.

The sound system antenna is an integral part of the vehicle backlight and serves FM, AM, and DAB radio wavebands.

Caution: Care must be taken to avoid spilling or splashing drinks onto the audio system head. In the event of such an occurrence advise your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Do not use petrol, solvents or abrasive cleaners on the audio system. Wipe the surface with a lint-free cloth to remove dust. Slightly moisten the cloth with clean water to remove any finger marks from the outside surface.

If the unit is to be removed or the battery disconnected, first ensure that the radio code is recorded. The number will be required for re-insertion following radio installation.

SECURITY CODE NUMBER

For the United Kingdom and European countries, the audio head unit is protected by an anti-theft security code. If power to the radio drops to 5 volts or less (dead battery), or there is a power interruption/disconnection, the radio display will indicate CODE. At this point the radio will not operate until the correct security code is re-entered.

The four-digit code which is listed on an audio security card supplied with the vehicle, is entered by pressing preset buttons 1 to 9. A beep indicates that the code has been entered correctly.

If the code is entered incorrectly, two further attempts at code entry will be permitted. If, after three successive attempts, the code has not been properly entered, the display will indicate PLEASE WAIT. In this condition the radio will not accept further entries until it has been left on for at least 30 minutes. After 30 minutes in the On position the radio will accept three further entries.

Note: In the event of loss of your radio security card, contact your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer who, for security reasons, will require proof of vehicle ownership.

Audio System

Caution: Copyright laws vary in different countries; please check the laws in your country if you want to record from copyright source material.

Caution: Due to technical incompatibility, recordable (CD-R) discs and re-writable (CD-RW) discs may not function correctly.

Caution: These CD units will play compact discs that conform to the international Red Book standard audio specification. Copy protected CDs from some manufacturers do not conform to this standard and playback cannot be guaranteed.

Caution: Dual format, dual sided discs (DVD Plus, CD-DVD format), now being adopted by the music industry, are thicker than normal CDs and consequently playback cannot be guaranteed in Jaguar audio units, and jamming could occur. Warranty claims, where this type of disc is found to be inside an audio unit returned for repair, will not be accepted.

Caution: Irregular shaped CDs and CDs with a scratch protection film or self adhesive labels attached should not be used.

DUAL AND DVDPLUS DISCS

Please be aware that a new generation of DVDs is being adopted by the music industry. They are known as Dual Discs or DVDPlus discs. They have digital music on one side and video content on the other. Current in-car audio systems with a front loading CD player may load and play this type of disc, however, it is possible that the disc will not eject and therefore block up the player. Such damage to a CD player will not be covered under warranty.

AUDIO SYSTEM CARE

Radio

Do not use petrol, solvents or abrasive cleaners on the radio. Wipe the surface of the radio with a lint-free cloth to remove dust. Slightly moisten the cloth with clean water to remove any finger marks from the outside surface of the radio.

If the radio is to be removed or the battery disconnected, first ensure that the radio code is recorded. The number will be required for re-insertion following radio installation or battery reconnection.

Compact Discs (CDs)

When handling CDs, do not touch the playing surface. CDs should be stored in their cases away from direct sunlight, heat and dust. Scratches, fingermarks or dust on the surface of a disc can cause the optical pick-up to skip tracks. If the surface of a CD is dirty, use an appropriate CD cleaner.

Do not attempt to play discs that are damaged, warped, cracked or of incorrect size. They can seriously damage the playback mechanism.

Radio

GENERAL INFORMATION

Reception

FM reception offers the advantages of low noise interference, minimal distortion, wide dynamic range, extended frequency response, and is usually broadcast in stereo. FM frequency waves are however relatively short and travel in a straight line and can therefore be impeded by obstructions, which may adversely affect reception in certain parts of the country. This is a condition known as Multipath Interference.

Whilst FM reception generally provides better quality sound, AM reception or Medium Waveband (MW) and Long Waveband (LW) (United Kingdom and Europe) may prove superior in remote areas not covered by the shorter range FM transmitters.

When experiencing poor FM reception, background noise can be reduced by pressing the MODE button, selecting TREBLE and reducing the treble setting.

Radio Data Systems (RDS) and Traffic Announcements (TA)

Jaguar sound systems are equipped with Radio Data System (RDS) which assists in locating and remaining tuned to a selected radio station. When tuned to certain stations on the FM waveband, the radio decodes signals transmitted, to provide the following functions (dependent upon the service available):

  • When RDS is selected the station name is displayed in eight characters.
    • Automatic retuning to follow network stations:

RDS provides fully automatic radio tuning for network stations. It tunes to a signal not a frequency. RDS will locate the strongest signal available for a given station.

  • RDS will automatically switch frequencies (AF Switching) as necessary. This function can be toggled off and on by pressing and holding the AM/FM button.
  • RDS Station/Programme type display and search:

RDS displays information on the type of material broadcast by the station or programme that is on e.g. News,

Classical, Rock etc. In addition to this function, the radio can search for a selected programme type.

Radio

  • RDS Priority Programme Type auto retuning (where broadcast):
    Similar to Traffic Announcement this can be selected to interrupt and switch to the selected programme type e.g. News, for its duration.
  • Local radio station Traffic Information (where broadcast):
    RDS provides travel information relevant to the vehicle location. On learning of a traffic problem, the authorities inform the nearest local radio station.
    The traffic announcement (TA) is then broadcast by transmitters in the relevant area.

Provided TA has been selected, traffic announcements will interrupt radio or CD play, on all equipment with the RDS feature. If the volume control is set at minimum it will automatically increase to an audible level for the duration of the traffic news flash.

When the traffic announcement has been completed, the system reverts to the driver's original listening choice and volume setting.

RDS operation

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - RDS operation - 1

To activate RDS, press the TA button and hold for at least two seconds until RDS ON is displayed.

To deactivate RDS, press the TA button and hold until RDS OFF is displayed.

With the radio tuned to an RDS station and RDS activated, the radio gathers RDS information and displays the service name/data.

If the radio is not tuned to an RDS station, it will remain on that station and display the frequency, and RDS will remain on in readiness for a signal.

When listening to a national network station, or a station that broadcasts on more than one frequency, the radio will return to the strongest available signal (AF Switching). This ‘network following’ will continue throughout the journey. (Unselected presets will also receive new frequency information, if appropriate.)

When RDS data is lost and no alternative frequency signal is available, the radio will stay on station, the display shows the frequency only and RDS remains on in readiness for the signal to recover.

If the RDS function does not respond correctly, see RDS troubleshooting guide on page 267.

Radio

TA operation

To activate TA: Press the TA button momentarily (less than two seconds).

TA will appear in the display. The radio then checks that the station has RDS TP (Traffic Programme); indicated by TP at the top of the display. If TP is not available on the current station, the display will show TP SEEK while it searches for a station that does have it.

If a TA station is not available, a beep is sounded and TA is removed from the display.

With TA activated, traffic announcements will interrupt radio or CD play. If set at a minimum, the volume will increase for the announcement, returning to normal setting afterwards. When receiving, the display will show TRAFFIC INFO.

To deactivate TA: Momentarily press TA.

Preset TA volume

When the radio is set to minimum volume and a traffic announcement occurs, the volume is raised to a preset level. This level can be adjusted by pressing and holding the MODE button for more than two seconds, then setting the volume level (which is displayed) between 1 (min.) and 6 (max.) by turning the volume control knob.

Programme Type (PTY)

(Where broadcast)

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - (Where broadcast) - 1

This has two functions: To display current station programme type and to select a programme type and return to it.

Momentarily press the PTY button to display the current station programme type. Use the tuning buttons to cycle through the available programme types, press the PTY button again to activate a search for the selected programme type. If there is a station with the correct PTY then the radio will return to it. If not, the radio will indicate NO PTY and return to the current station.

Priority Programme Type (PPTY)

Functions as an interrupt or as a 'PTY Following'.

Press and hold the PTY button to activate the selected priority programme type, PPTY. The radio will now wait for RDS information to indicate that a station has changed its programme type, e.g. to NEWS. The radio will now return to the new station for the duration that it remains on that programme type.

If the current station is already on the selected priority programme type, then when this station is lost, the radio will attempt to find another with the correct programme type.

To cancel Priority Programme Type, press and hold the PTY button, the PTY indicator will clear from the display.

Note: TA and PPTY interrupt feature is also available in CD and audio modes.

Radio

TA and priority PTY interrupt skip

Interruptions for traffic announcements, news or other selected priority programme types, can be skipped by pressing TA during the interrupt. The radio returns to the previously selected audio source.

Note:

  • Interrupt skip will not cancel activation of TA or PPTY and it will remain ready for the next interrupt.
  • TA, PTY and PPTY features are reliant upon the broadcast information from radio stations, and may be much better in some areas than others.

PTY31-alarm (where broadcast)

When using the radio with RDS selected, a PTY31-ALARM service will operate, to alert on any crises of major national importance. When such a broadcast is made, ALARM will appear in the audio display.

Radio

RDS troubleshooting guide

Incorrect response from RDS Reason and rectification
Radio does not display programme name.Check that RDS is turned on by pressing and holding the TA button until the display confirms RDS ON. If the radio does not display a programme service name, it is not broadcasting RDS data, or you are in a poor reception area. Try retuning to another station with RDS.
Station name is lost and displays frequency only.Radio has lost reception of the RDS data due to vehicle moving out of transmitter range, loss of signal in a tunnel, under a garage forecourt canopy, or similar screening. If the latter is the case, when the vehicle is clear of the screening, the station name will return after a short delay.
Upon operating A MEM, NO FM is displayed when most or all of the preset positions are selected.The radio cannot locate nine FM, RDS FM or TP stations dependent upon the mode selected. If this occurs, switch off RDS or TA and reselect A M E M .
Upon pressing the TA button the radio re-tunes to another station and displays TP SEEK.The station selected does not have TP/TA facility, the radio will retune to one that does.
Radio sound goes off and the display shows PI SEEK.The RDS radio station selected is unable to confirm that the frequency tuned to has the correct RDS data - Programme Identification (PI). It will then seek for a frequency that has the correct data.
Radio ‘beeps’ and the display shows NO TA/TP and turns off TA.The vehicle is in an area where TA broadcasts cannot be received from any FM stations. The radio will automatically de-select the TA feature.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Digital radio reception

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - GENERAL INFORMATION - 1

natural_image Diagram of multiple concentric circular signal towers surrounding a road with a car (no text or symbols)

E94094

DAB radio is very different from normal AM/FM radio in both operation and sound quality. The DAB network is designed to provide near CD quality from radio broadcasts. In most locations DAB signals are available without hiss, crackle, pop or interference, and no fading or overlap.

DAB radio can significantly increase the number of radio channels/stations available. The DAB signals are transmitted to most major cities, towns and motorway networks.

Radio signals travel in a straight line so large obstacles, such as tall buildings, can shield the vehicle from the signal, causing temporary loss of reception (known as dead spots).

Digital radio is transmitted from regional transmitters. Some local channels are not available outside the range of their transmitters. If you want to listen to local channels as you move around the country, use the auto-tune function TUNE to build new channel lists.

Ensembles

Unlike AM/FM radio, DAB transmits several stations/channels on a single frequency. A group of stations/channels is known as an ensemble. Ensembles may consist of six or more stations/channels (national or local). Some may have sub-channels offering several listening options.

Digital audio broadcasting (DAB)

If reception is lost when the vehicle is in motion No Reception will be displayed on the touch-screen.

TV General Information

INTRODUCTION

The TV tuner in the Switch and Display Unit provides TV viewing when the vehicle is stationary.

The TV picture is inhibited automatically when the vehicle is in motion.

With the TV function selected, but the picture inhibited, the TV sound continues to be available.

TV sound is provided through the audio system speakers.

Note: Television systems require consistent and strong signals for good quality reception. These signals are affected by transmitter coverage and surrounding features (hills, high buildings, trees etc.) which will reduce the signal, thus reducing picture quality.

Repositioning the vehicle may improve the picture whereas in difficult locations (distant transmitter, hills etc.) reception may not be possible at all. Sound quality may also be affected to a lesser degree by the above, which can give rise to variable quality over short distances while on the move.

TV inhibit with vehicle moving

If the vehicle is moved whilst the TV picture is being displayed, the TV will be inhibited and returned to the TV Menu screen.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - TV inhibit with vehicle moving - 1

Telephone Introduction

INTRODUCTION

What is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth is an international standard that allows electronic components to communicate with each other, using a short-range radio link. Bluetooth eliminates the need for wires or cables: typically, devices can communicate at a range of up to 10 metres (33 feet).

The Bluetooth in-car telephone system allows certain mobile phones to be used hands-free in your vehicle: there is no need to connect the mobile phone to a cradle or cable.

Bluetooth is a registered trademark of Bluetooth SIG, Inc.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The vehicle's Bluetooth telephone system can be used with an appropriate, Bluetooth-equipped mobile phone.

The mobile phone must be paired with the vehicle system before use. See page 308 for more information.

Once paired, the mobile phone can be operated via the steering wheel switches or the keypad and phone buttons on the audio panel or touch-screen. The mobile phone doesn't need to be physically connected to the vehicle: it can be left in a jacket pocket, for instance. Calls are routed through the vehicle's audio speakers, and a dedicated microphone is fitted to the roof lining, near the driver's head.

You can use the system to answer or reject incoming calls, make outgoing calls or alter the call volume. The system does not support SMS text messages.

Note: The vehicle ignition must be set to position I or II in order to use the phone.

Call volume

The volume of telephone calls can be adjusted for hands-free phone operation. To adjust the volume, operate the audio system's ON/OFF volume control during a phone call.

If the audio system is in use when the phone becomes active, the audio system source is suppressed for the duration of the call.

The Jaguar telephone system is designed to function with a wide variety of Bluetooth-equipped mobile phones. The audio and echo characteristics vary between models of mobile phones: as a result, it may take a few seconds for the vehicle system to adapt to provide optimal audio performance.

In order to achieve the best possible audio performance, it may be necessary to reduce the system volume slightly when using certain mobile phones.

Audio panel display

Phone related messages are shown on the audio panel display or touch-screen (where fitted) when the phone system is active.

Telephone Introduction

VOICE ACTIVATION

(Where fitted)

The Bluetooth telephone system can be used in conjunction with the voice activation system to provide the driver with completely hands-free communication. Voice commands are picked up by the system microphone.

For information about using voice activation, refer to the Voice Control section, starting on page 323.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - (Where fitted) - 1

WARNING:

The voice activation system must not be used to call emergency numbers, as voice patterns can change under stress, resulting in commands becoming unrecognisable.

SAFETY

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - SAFETY - 1

WARNING:

Read this information before using your in-car telephone system.

Driving

Check local regulations on the use of telephones in the areas where you drive and always obey them. Observe the following guidelines when using your phone whilst driving:

  • Give full attention to driving - safe driving is your first responsibility.
    • Always use hands-free operation when driving.
  • When receiving a call, if driving conditions demand, pull off the road and park.

Electronic devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio Frequency (RF) signals.

However, certain equipment may not be shielded against RF signals from your telephone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 15 centimetres (6 inches) is maintained between a wireless phone antenna and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Telephone Introduction

Persons with pacemakers should:

  • Preferably use the vehicle hands-free system.
  • ALWAYS keep the phone more than 15 centimetres (6 inches) from their pacemaker when the phone is switched ON.
  • Turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

Other medical devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device, or your doctor, to determine that it is adequately shielded from external RF energy.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in such areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect non-Jaguar or improperly installed equipment. Always consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been retro-fitted to your vehicle.

Posted facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.

Blasting areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a blasting area or in areas posted: Turn off two-way radios. Obey all signs and instructions.

Potentially explosive atmospheres

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. Turn your phone OFF when you are in such an area, as the use of unapproved electrical equipment can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or death.

Airbags

Airbags inflate with great force.

JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Airbags - 1

WARNING:

Do NOT place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over an airbag or in the airbag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the airbag inflates, serious injury could result.

Telephone System

STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS

Four system control switches are situated on the left-hand side of the steering wheel, duplicating the functions of buttons on the audio panel. These switches provide finger-tip control of audio, telephone and voice activation systems whilst driving.

  • Select search for other Bluetooth devices or Audio Accessories from your mobile phone's menu.
  • Select Jaguar in your phone's paired device list, in order to connect to the vehicle's Bluetooth system.
  • Enter the Passkey on your mobile phone (the Passkey is 1313). SIG will be displayed initially.
  • Once the vehicle and phone are paired, SIG * will appear on the audio panel.

Note: If your mobile phone supports the signal strength feature, the Bluetooth signal strength (or number of *s) will be displayed.

Once a mobile phone is paired with the vehicle, SIG will be displayed initially when the ignition is switched ON. SIG* will then be displayed, once the phone is detected.

If the phone is not detected within two minutes (after switching ON the ignition), the audio system will exit phone mode and revert to its previous audio mode.

Note:

  • Once a mobile phone is paired with the vehicle, SIG* (or if the mobile phone supports the signal strength feature, the signal strength according to the phone) will be displayed initially when the ignition is switched ON. If no phone is detected, the message SIG**** or ***** will confirm that no phone is connected.
  • If an incorrect Passkey is entered, your mobile phone should prompt you to enter the correct Passkey.

Once a mobile phone is paired with the vehicle, the vehicle will look for this specific phone every time the ignition is switched ON, followed by the previously four paired phones.

Pairing other phones

Five mobile phones can be paired with the vehicle at a time. Once paired, the vehicle will look for the same phone each time the ignition is switched ON (position II): you do not need to manually pair the phone with the vehicle every time you switch the ignition ON.

The Bluetooth function of your mobile phone must be switched on when the ignition is switched ON in order for it to pair with the vehicle automatically.

If a different Bluetooth mobile phone is to be used with the vehicle, it must be paired manually, as described previously. This phone will then become the highest priority phone, which the system will look for each time the ignition is switched ON.

Telephone System

Disconnecting (unpair) a phone

To disconnect a mobile phone from the system, use the mobile phone's keypad. Refer to your phone's manual for more details.

RECONNECTING A PHONE

Once a mobile phone has been paired with the vehicle, Jaguar may be shown in the phone's list of Bluetooth devices (see your mobile phone manual for more information). If you intend to pair your mobile phone to multiple vehicles, it is advised that you change the name of your car from the default (e.g. Jaguar to your registration number).

If you manually unpair the phone, it is advisable to delete Jaguar from the list of Bluetooth devices before pairing it with the vehicle again.

PAIRING STRATEGY

It is possible to pair up to five mobiles with the Jaguar Bluetooth telephone facility. When an attempt is made to add a new mobile phone with five phones already paired, the system will delete the oldest connected mobile phone. All associated phonebook records will also be deleted prior to pairing the new mobile phone.

CONNECTION STRATEGY

Whilst the vehicle has the capability to pair up to five mobile phones, only one phone can be connected at any one time. Once the ignition is switched on, the vehicle will attempt to connect to the previously connected phone. If it is not available, it will attempt to connect to the next previously connected phone. The system will continue to search until a paired phone is connected.

Note: Searching for connection to the mobile phone will cease once a phone has been detected and connected to the system. If a new phone is paired and connected to the system, this will also cease the search as it will become the most recently connected phone.

SILENT MODE

Certain mobile phones have a silent mode or profile, which prevents the handset from ringing when a call is received.

If the mobile phone is set to silent, it will also prevent the vehicle phone system from ringing.

The PIN feature is not supported by the Bluetooth telephone system.

Therefore, please ensure that your mobile phone is not locked by a PIN whilst it is connected to the Bluetooth telephone system.

Phone Book

PHONE BOOK TRANSFERS

Any phone numbers stored in your mobile phone book can be copied to the vehicle's phone system.

In most cases, this will happen automatically when you pair the phone with the vehicle. Refer to www.jaguar.com to check compatibility.

However, with some mobile phones, you may need to manually transfer the phone book.

  • Make sure the vehicle ignition is ON and the vehicle and phone are paired.
  • Press the button on the audio panel or touch-screen surround.
  • Switch OFF the ignition and wait for your phone to disconnect from the vehicle, to allow the vehicle Bluetooth system to complete the download process.

Updating the phone book

Once the phone book has been copied to the vehicle, it will be updated automatically if your phone supports automatic phone book download.

Certain phones allow single or multiple phone book entries to be transferred to the vehicle (refer to the manual of your specific mobile phone for more information). These entries will be added to the end of the vehicle phone book.

Note: The location number of phone book entries stored on your mobile phone may change once they are transferred to the vehicle phone book: location numbers are not preserved when phone books are copied via Bluetooth.

If you wish to pair a new phone with the vehicle and replace the current vehicle phone book, follow the relevant pairing procedure on page 308.

Phone Book

Phone book capacity

Mobile Phone Configuration VehiclePhone Book Capacity
Phone supports phone memory and SIM card downloads.750 (phone memory takes priority over the SIM card).
Phone only supports phone memory downloads.750 (from phone memory).
Phone only supports SIM card downloads.750 (from SIM card).
Phone doesn’t support phone memory or SIM card downloads.0.

The system can store a maximum of 750 entries, but this figure varies, depending on the type of mobile phone used.

Certain mobile phones store the phone book in two different areas: the SIM card and the phone memory. With some mobile phones, it is not possible to transfer addresses stored in one or both of these areas. The table above explains how this affects the number of entries that can be stored in the vehicle phone book.

Note: Certain mobile phones do not allow phone book entries stored on the SIM card to be transferred via Bluetooth. However, it may be possible to transfer the SIM phone book to the mobile phone's memory, before copying it to the vehicle phone book. Refer to your mobile phone manual for more information.

Phone book suffixes

With some mobile phones, it is possible to store phone numbers in different categories:

  • Work/Office
  • Mobile
  • Home.

If numbers are stored in your mobile phone in these categories, the vehicle phone book will add a suffix to each entry: WK (work/office), MN (mobile) or HM (home).

This enables the system to handle contacts who have several different phone numbers.

Using the System

Initialisation

JaguarVoice is ready to operate ten seconds after the ignition switch is turned to position II, the system is enabled.

Driver voice controls

The voice button is on the left-hand side of the steering wheel, see Steering wheel voice switches on page 324.

Some examples of using the system are provided on the following pages for you to try.

Note: The system will not operate until the radio security code has been entered.

Rear occupant voice controls

There are two voice buttons on the rear multimedia switchpack, for example see Voice button – left on previous illustration.

  3. CORRECTION, deletes the last string of digits entered, and allows you to re-enter them.
  4. CANCEL, cancels the command.

Note: When entering a number of your choice, remember numbers can only be given as single digits, but you can enter the digits in as many groups as you like.

Also, when the system has read out the numbers you have entered, you do not have to wait for the 'Continue entering digits' prompt. Simply press the voice button and continue with your dialogue.

JaguarVoice

Operating tips

  • After pressing the voice button, wait for the end of the single listening beep before giving the command.*
    'LISTENING' will be displayed on the instrument pack or on the rear multimedia switchpack.
  • Face forward and speak naturally, as if you were talking to a passenger or on the phone.
  • Note the structure of the commands; remember this rather than trying to remember all the commands.

Device Function Setting
JAGUAR XJ (2000) - Operating tips - 1
'Radio Tune 97.4'

  • If you forget any of the commands, try saying 'VOICE HELP'. The system will then give you a list of help menus available, from which you can choose the appropriate one for the command you need.
  • The Voice system will repeat the command back to you and display it on the message centre or rear multimedia switchpack. The command will then be performed.
  • If you hear a double beep when you give a command, press the voice button and try again.*

* A single beep denotes when the voice system is listening for a command. A double beep denotes when the system has stopped listening, due to an error or when an incorrect command has been given.

Command confirmation

After a command has been given, the system will give feedback of what it understood. The verbal feedback can be switched on or off by saying 'VOICE FEEDBACK ON' or 'VOICE FEEDBACK OFF'. Verbal feedback for help commands, directory listings, prompts, error messages and nametags cannot be switched off.

For the 'PHONE DIAL' commands, the system will prompt for confirmation before making the call. This confirmation can be switched on or off by saying 'PHONE CONFIRMATION ON' or 'PHONE CONFIRMATION OFF.'

For each voice command there is an associated visual confirmation, which is shown on the front instrument pack or on the rear multimedia switchpack.

Voice system prompts

During some commands and for voice training, you will be asked by the system for a reply. In such cases you must press and release the voice button then speak after the beep. The system will remind you twice so don't worry about having to respond to the system immediately.

JaguarVoice

Nametags

Nametags are a unique name or phrase of your choice which can be used to recall a radio station or dial a phone number.

For radio commands, 'PHONE DIAL ' is used to select a station that has been previously stored using the 'RADIO STORE NAME' command.

For phone commands, 'RADIO TUNE ' is used to dial a phone number that has been previously stored using the 'PHONE ENTER' or 'PHONE STORE' command. Phone numbers held in the voice system memory are quite separate from numbers held in the phone system memory (To call a number held in the phone memory, use the 'PHONE DIAL MEMORY ' command).

A spoken list of current nametags can be heard by giving the appropriate directory command.

• 'RADIO DIRECTORY'
• 'PHONE DIRECTORY'

There are also commands for deleting either individual names in a directory, or a complete directory, see Voice Command List on page 332.

Hints on storing nametags

  • You will have greater success of recalling, and remembering, nametags of two, three, or four words in length. Although nametags of one word in length are also acceptable.
  • For best results, store nametags in a quiet environment, i.e. with the windows and sunroof closed, try not to be travelling at speeds above 100 km/h (60 mph), and ask other occupants to be quiet.
  • Try not to store a nametag that sounds similar to a nametag already stored, or to any of the commands recognized by the system.
    In addition, for phone nametags, do not use numbers, and for radio nametags, try not to use radio frequencies.

Volume level adjustment

The verbal feedback volume level can be adjusted independently for the JaguarVoice system. To adjust, operate the sound system volume control or the steering wheel volume control whilst the voice system is being used. The speaker volume level can also be adjusted within the volume preset menu of the audio system.

JaguarVoice

Some useful notes:

  • Only one person at a time can use the voice system.
  • Excessive noise, for example while driving with windows open or in demist mode, may cause voice command misrecognition. If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that voice commands will not be recognised.
  • Voice commands cannot be given while hands-free phone call or radio traffic announcement is in progress.

Voice Training

The voice system is able to interpret most English speakers without difficulty. If, however, you find that commands are sometimes not being recognised, you can train the voice system to recognize your voice. The voice system can be trained for two people using voice memories A and B.

After Voice Training, the system will automatically recognise the users whose voices are held in the voice memory. The system can still be used by other users, with no loss of recognition.

Training procedure

Training can only be carried out whilst sitting in the driver's seat.

Give the command 'VOICE DIRECTORY', this will list the memories used and tell you if they are stored with a nametag.

If no memories are in use, either memory can be used.

If both memories are in use and you wish to overwrite one of the memories, select the memory you wish to overwrite.

  • First, select which voice memory to train.
  • Position the vehicle, with the sunroof and windows closed, in a reasonably quiet outdoor location.
  • Sit in the driving seat with the engine running, the handbrake or Electric parking Brake (EPB) on and the transmission in Park or Neutral.

- Press and release the MODE button on the radio (adjacent to the volume control). Mode level 1 will display. Press the MODE button repeatedly until 'ADV MODE N/Y' is displayed. Turn the volume control to select 'ADV MODE YES' Press the MODE button reteatedly until 'VOICE A' is displayed. To select 'VOICE B' press the MODE button again.

- With 'VOICE A' or 'VOICE B' displayed on the radio press the seek up control to start Voice Training. Once you have selected which memory to use, the system gives verbal instructions about the training procedure.

- Follow the instructions given by the system. See Training Command List on page 338.

- To cancel Voice Training at any time press and hold the voice button for five seconds.

Note:

  • Some of the phrases which the voice system asks you to repeat during Voice Training are not valid voice commands, these are used to collect specific phonetic phrases required by the system.
  • If the user does not speak after a phrase prompt, the voice system will provide two reminder prompts then cancel Voice Training.
  • The voice system turns off the phone whilst in training mode, so it will need to be turned on manually after Voice Training has finished.

JaguarVoice

Trouble-shooting Error Messages

In addition to the voice command prompts given by the system, the following error messages may be displayed on the instrument panel display. Most of these messages are accompanied by an advisory double beep.

Voice Command GroupMessage Meaning
GeneralVOICE NOT READYThe voice system is initialising (when ignition is first turned on). It takes the voice system approximately ten seconds to initialise.
NO SPEECH DETECTEDThe voice system has not heard any speech.Ensure that the command is given after the end of the beep.Ensure that the command is given within a maximum of five seconds from the end of the beep.Note:Be sure you know what to say before pressing the Voice button.If this error is displayed for all commands given this may indicate a fault with the microphone or microphone wiring, consult your Jaguar Dealer/Authorised Repairer for assistance.
COMMAND CANCELLEDDisplayed if the user cancels a voice session during the LISTENING period or another system interrupts the voice session (i.e. incoming phone call or radio traffic announcement).

JaguarVoice

Voice Command GroupMessage Meaning
General (continued)COMMAND NOT RECOGNISEDThe voice system has failed to recognise your command.Ensure that the command format is valid, see Voice Command List on page 332.Ensure that the command is given after the end of the beep.Look forward and speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level; imagine you are making a hands-free phone call.Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive, for example, windows open or demist on.Note:If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that voice commands will not be recognised.If optional words of the command have been omitted, then the command should be tried with these in place.If a number of commands have been given in rapid succession resulting in the message ‘COMMAND NOT RECOGNISED’ to be displayed, then allow the system to recover (approximately one minute) before trying the command again.If the system consistently fails to recognise commands, the voice training procedure should be carried out to improve the recognition response for the speaker.

JaguarVoice

Voice Command GroupMessage Meaning
Nametags (continued)STORE FAILED Displayed when the voice system fails to store a nametag.Possible reasons could be that the nametag is too long or there is too much noise. Try the command again. If the error persists, try storing the nametag under quiet conditions such as with the vehicle parked and the windows closed.
Phone CONNECTPHONE TRY AGAINIf the GSM phone is in its cradle but voice system keeps saying ‘dial not accepted, please connect phone and try again’, then the phone handset may not be correctly attached to its storage cradle. Try re-attaching the phone handset. If the problem persists, the phone may be incorrectly reporting its cradle status. Try powering the phone handset off and on to resolve the issue.
Voice Training SETHANDBRAKE TO CONTINUEThis text message is displayed with its associated verbal feedback when the electronic EPB is released during Voice Training. To continue voice training the brake must be re-applied.
VOICE TRAINING UNSUCCESSFULThis text message is displayed with its associated verbal feedback if the voice system could not save the training model recorded. If this problem occurs, please turn the ignition off, wait five seconds, and turn the ignition back on. Please check that there is no abnormal/excessive noise entering the vehicle interior and try running the Voice training procedure again. If the voice system continues to exhibit this error, consult your Jaguar Dealer for assistance.

JaguarVoice

Voice Command GroupMessage Meaning
Nametags RADIONOT IN TUNER MODEDisplayed when the user tries to store a radio nametag and the radio has not been placed in tuner mode, for example playing a CD.
NAMES TOO MUCH ALIKEThis response will be received when storing a nametag if the nametag being given has already been stored. This can be confirmed by giving the RADIO DIRECTORY or PHONE DIRECTORY command.If this response is received and the nametag has not been used already, then it is too similar to an existing nametag or voice grammar and an alternative should be used.
SPOKE DURING LISTENING TONEDisplayed when user utters a radio or phone nametag while the beep is playing. Please wait for the end of the beep then say the nametag.
DIRECTORY FULL The user has tried to add a nametag to a directory that is full. The voice system can store up to 40 phone and 20 radio nametags.
DIRECTORY EMPTY Displayed when a RADIO DIRECTORY, PHONE DIRECTORY or VOICE DIRECTORY command is given and no nametags have been stored in the associated directory.
NAMETAG TOO LONG The nametag given is too short (so as not to mistake the nametag for inadvertent noise). If you experience this error please provide a longer nametag.
STORE CANCELLED Displayed and associated verbal response is provided when a nametag storage session is cancelled by the user.
