Touch-screen

GENERAL INFORMATION

The touch-screen provides touch-control 
of vehicle climate, audio, navigation, 
television and telephone systems, as 
fitted. A small Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) 
screen below the touch-screen provides a 
digital display of the ambient temperature 
and vehicle cabin set temperature.

The touch-screen setup and user menus, 
clock setting, headlamp setting, door 
locking mode and auto-fold door mirrors 
information is described within this 
chapter of this handbook

Note: Remember to pass on the vehicle 
handbooks when reselling the vehicle. 
Handbooks are integral parts of the 
vehicle.

The buttons surrounding the 
touch-screen display are referred to as 
‘hard buttons’ and should be pressed not 
touched. The screen buttons are ‘soft 
buttons’ and only require to be touched to 
function.

Throughout this section, the expression 
‘Select an item’ (or similar wording), 
means ‘Touch the on-screen button 
adjacent to the item required’.

Pop-up messages

The operation of certain functions will 
cause a small message to appear 
overlaying the touch-screen display. This 
‘pop-up’ is for information only and will 
disappear automatically after a few 
seconds.

SCREEN CLEANING

Caution: Care must be taken to avoid 
spilling or splashing drinks onto the 
touch-screen. In the event of such an 
occurrence advise your Jaguar Dealer.

Do not use any abrasive cleaners to clean 
your touch-screen. For approved screen 
cleaners, see your Jaguar Dealer.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE 
CONTROL

The climate control system can be 
controlled from the touch-screen buttons 
(accessed via the CLIMATE button to the 
left of the touch-screen) and is described 
in the Touch-screen Climate Control 
chapter of this handbook (starting on 
page 193).

AUDIO SYSTEMS

The vehicle audio system interacts with 
the JaguarVoice, Navigation, In-car 
Telephone and Climate Control systems 
via data on the multiplex communications 
vehicle network.

The audio system can be controlled from 
the radio front panel buttons, the 
touch-screen buttons accessed via the 
AUDIO button on the left of the 
touch-screen and from multi-function 
controls on the left-hand side of the 
steering wheel, where fitted. These 
controls are described in the Audio 
System chapter of this handbook 
(starting on page 282).

The sound system antenna is an integral 
part of the vehicle rear screen and serves 
both FM and AM radio wavebands.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM

This Jaguar navigation system assists the 
driver by providing a route to a selected 
destination. Guidance is given by means 
of audible instructions (voice guidance), 
complemented by map and turn 
information, which is displayed on the 
touch-screen. Digital map information is 
held on the Navigation System Digital 
Versatile Disc (DVD), which is loaded into 
the navigation control unit housed in the 
luggage compartment.

The system has an extremely 
comprehensive range of features, yet is 
easy to use. Some time spent reading the 
separate navigation system handbook will 
ensure that the best results are obtained.

The touch-screen is used to control the 
system by means of menus, text screens 
and map displays.
