4. Press button 1, 2 or 3 and then press 

any button on the integrated key. Both 
button presses must occur while the

and leave in the OFF position.

2. Press the M button: The red LED will 

illuminate for a five second period.

key (except the panic button, if fitted) 
then press the M button again. Both 
button presses must occur while the 
red LED is illuminated.

Note: If memory recall is performed using 
an integrated key with the vehicle in 
entry/exit position, the steering column 
and seat will not return to the memorised 
position until either the integrated key is 
placed in the ignition switch or the driver’s 
door is closed.

Operating tips
• When making adjustments to a set 

driving position, reset the new 
position in the same memory channel.

• A driving position will only be 

memorised during the five second 
period when the red memory LED is 
illuminated.

• Previous memory is erased when a 

new driving position is entered.

LUGGAGE TIE-DOWN LOOPS

!

WARNING:

Locate heavy loads in the luggage 
compartment towards the front of the 
vehicle and secure them to stop them 
sliding. Loose items can be a hazard.

!

WARNING:

Do not drive with the luggage 
compartment lid open as exhaust 
fumes can be drawn into the passenger 
compartment.

Four loops are positioned in the luggage 
compartment for attaching straps to 
secure loads and prevent them from 
sliding over the luggage floor.

These loops are not to be used for 
securing passengers or animals nor as 
anchorages for child restraints.

It is advisable to distribute luggage weight 
evenly over the entire luggage floor area.

A range of Jaguar storage accessories, 
including a luggage retaining net, are 
available from your Jaguar Dealer.

!

WARNING:

A luggage net is not designed to 
restrain objects in the event of a 
collision.

INSTRUMENT PANEL

None of the instruments will show correct 
indications until the ignition is switched 
ON (position II).

If the exterior lamps switch is ON and the

The instruments shown above are:

1. Tachometer.

2. Speedometer.

3. Message centre.

4. Fuel gauge.

5. Engine temperature gauge.

Tachometer 

The tachometer indicates engine speed in 
revolutions per minute and is calibrated in 
increments of 250 rev/min extending to:
• 8000 rev/min for naturally aspirated 

engines.

• 7000 rev/min for supercharged 

engines.

Do not allow the needle to enter the red 
sector.

Speedometer

Speed indications are either:

USA - Miles per hour, the outer figures, 
and kilometres per hour on the inner ring.

Canada and Mexico - Kilometres per 
hour, the outer figures, and miles per hour 
on the inner ring.

Odometer

The odometer is displayed in the 
message centre unless a message has 
priority or a trip computer function has 
been selected.

The odometer records the total distance 
covered by the vehicle.

The odometer reading is displayed below 
the speedometer, along with the trip

Engine temperature

Drive at moderate road and engine 
speeds until normal operating 
temperature is reached. This is indicated 
when the pointer is between the blue 
(cold) segment and the red (hot) segment.

The engine operating temperature will 
vary with changes in weather and engine 
load. The engine temperature may rise in 
some circumstances, such as:
• Idling for long periods in slow moving 

traffic.

• Driving up a long hill in hot weather.
• Driving slowly or stopping after driving 

at high speed.

• Towing a trailer or caravan.

Should the pointer move into the red 
segment (H) of the coolant gauge, stop 
the vehicle as soon as it is safely possible, 
turn off the engine and open the hood to 
allow the engine to cool.

Caution: Serious engine damage can 
occur if the vehicle is driven whilst the 
engine is overheating.

!

WARNING:

The radiator cooling fans may continue 
to run after the ignition has been 
switched off but will automatically 
switch off when the engine has cooled 
sufficiently.

!

WARNING:

It is unsafe to run the engine in an 
overheated condition.

!

WARNING:

Do not remove the coolant reservoir 
filler cap while the engine is hot. If it is 
essential, then protect your hands 
against escaping steam. SLOWLY turn 
the cap counter-clockwise to allow the 
steam pressure to escape completely 
before removing the cap.
