Touch-screen Climate Control

INFORMATION

A general introduction to the 
touch-screen is given in the 
Touch-screen chapter of this handbook, 
starting on page 275. The operating 
information given here refers to the 
touch-screen and other controls.

The vehicle has both driver and 
passenger (dual zone) red and blue 
temperature control arrow buttons. 

Refer to page 191 for more information on 
the rear climate control panel fitted with 
the optional 4-zone system.

Controls and displays

The climate control system has its own 
menu on the touch-screen. A number of 
other buttons are also used for climate 
control and are located around the 
perimeter of the touch-screen. When a 
perimeter button is pressed, selection of 
the function is confirmed by a beep and, 
on most buttons, illumination of a Light 
Emitting Diode (LED).

An LCD screen below the touch-screen 
shows the interior temperatures set by the 
driver and passenger and the external 
(EXT) ambient temperature.

Note: Using other systems and 
touch-screen displays, such as audio or 
navigation, does not affect the climate 
control settings.

Panel illumination

With the exterior lighting switched on, the 
graphics on the panel controls are 
illuminated by low level backlighting.

The illumination level is adjusted by the 
common instrument panel dimmer 
control.

IGNITION ON

The climate control system operates in 
position II of the ignition switch.

When the ignition is switched to position 
II or the engine is started, the Jaguar logo 
will be displayed briefly followed by the 
last touch-screen selected (e.g. radio).

The climate control system will be set to 
the climate operating mode selected 
previously.

CLIMATE CONTROLS DISPLAY

There are two climate control 
touch-screen displays, one for the system 
‘ON’ state and the other for system 
‘OFF’/ram air mode. Smaller pop-up 
displays appear briefly when selecting air 
recirculation or adjusting the blower 
speed.

Most climate functions can be selected 
using the perimeter buttons without 
displaying the climate touch-screen 
buttons.

To select the touch-screen 
display, press the CLIMATE 
button.

To exit the climate control screen, select 
another system function, e.g. AUDIO.

AUTO MODE

Automatic operation provides a 
controlled environment over a 
temperature range of 17°C (61°F) to 31°C 
(89°F) and should be regarded as the 
normal operating mode.

To select automatic climate 
control press the AUTO button 
and select the required 
temperature.

The AUTO mode touch-screen is shown 
above. If the touch-screen is not 
displayed, press the CLIMATE button.

Front and rear screen heating and timed 
air recirculation may be selected while 
remaining in AUTO mode. Selecting any 
other climate control perimeter button or 
touch-screen button will cancel AUTO 
operation.

Automatic operation cannot be 
deselected using the AUTO button. To 
exit AUTO mode, select another climate 
mode or touch the system ON/OFF 
button to switch the system off.

temperature and the blue buttons to 
decrease temperature.

The selected temperatures will appear on 
the LCD screen below the touch-screen.

Pressing the driver’s buttons to select the 
maximum or minimum temperature 
settings causes the LCD screen to 
change to HI or LO respectively and 
cancels AUTO mode.

To quickly jump from HI or LO to a 
convenient mid-range temperature of 
23°C (73°F), press and hold AUTO for a 
few seconds.

DUAL TEMPERATURE ZONES

With the Dual button

provides separate 

temperature control of the driver and 
passenger zones.

control; the passenger temperature will 
change to that of the driver’s side. Using 
the driver’s side temperature control 
buttons will now change both zone 
temperatures together.

To select dual temperature control, either 
touch Dual or press one of the 
passenger’s side temperature control 
buttons.
