Occupant Protection
R
*It is possible to receive an intermittent
indicator lamp, with an empty seat
condition. This is part of the system’s
adaptive behaviour, and does not affect
the status of the passenger air bag.
However, if the indicator lamp becomes
permanently illuminated when the seat is
definitely empty and the seat belt is
unbuckled, then contact your nearest
Jaguar Dealer immediately.
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 92.

WARNING:
It is important that the passenger
position sensors (see illustration) are
not obscured in any way which could
affect air bag 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 air bag 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.
