ARMING THE ALARM

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

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

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

Note: Passive arming does not lock the 
doors.

Alarms and audible signals

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

Audible signals

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

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

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

Full alarm

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

compartment (except with remote 
handset) or hood

• using a remote handset in the starter 

control unit which is not programmed 
to the vehicle

Remote headlamp convenience

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

DISARMING THE ALARM

Using the remote control

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

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

Using the key blade

SITTING IN THE CORRECT 
POSITION

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

1. Sit in an upright position with the 

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

2. Do not move the driver's seat too 

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

• Adjust the head restraint so that its 

highest point is level with the top of 
your head.

• Position the seat belt so that it is mid 

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

• Ensure that your driving position is 

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

WARNINGS

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

incorrectly.

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

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

personal injury.

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

The front seats are adjusted by switches 
on the door.

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

Seatback tilt

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

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

WARNINGS

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

cause personal injury or loss of vehicle 
control.

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

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

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

cushion.
