(2 ft), at the vehicle corners. The vertical range is adequate to protect the highest and lowest points of the front of the vehicle. The system
will detect curbs with heights of at least 18 cm (7.1 inches). Obstacles, such as curbs, that are low enough to pass under the vehicle until
they make contact with the tires will not be detected.
The system activates a specific speaker at the front or the rear of the vehicle with a tone signifying the distance to the obstacle. The tone
consists of a beep and defined space ratio which varies depending on the calculated distance. W hen the distance to the obstacle is less
than 20 cm (7.8 inches) the speaker tone is continuous.
The parking aid system comprises of:
a module mounted in the spare wheel well just rearward of the spare tire.
four rear bumper mounted sensors of which the two inner sensors have a 90° angled electrical connector, and the two outer sensors
have a straight electrical connector plug.
four front bumper mounted sensors all with a 90° angled electrical connector.
two audible speakers, the rear mounted on the rear parcel shelf on 4-door vehicles or behind the left hand loadspace trim on wagon,
and the front mounted above the audio unit.
a cancellation switch that is mounted into the roof console. This is fitted for the driver to disable the system when in slow moving
traffic. This stops the front parking aid continuously monitoring the vehicle in front.
• NOTE: On vehicles from 2009MY, smaller parking aid sensors are fitted in the rear bumper. There is no change to system functionality.
The overhead console switch contains a Light Emitting Diode (LED) to inform the driver of the system status:
LED ON - System Active
LED OFF - System Inactive
LED FLASHING - System Fault
The reverse parking aid is active when reverse gear is selected, unless towing (with a Jaguar approved towbar) when the system
automatically switches off. If the parking aid system develops a fault the tone will sound continuously for three seconds when the ignition
is switched on or when the reverse gear is selected, and the overhead console switch LED will flash.
The front parking aid remains inactive after the ignition is switched to the ON position until the overhead console switch is pressed or
reverse gear is selected. The system will then remain active up to 15 kph (9.5 mph) in a forward gear, or until the overhead console switch
is pressed. The front parking aid system becomes inactive if the overhead console switch is pressed while the system is active, or at all
forward speeds above 15 kph (9.5 mph).
