Starting the engine GENERAL INFORMATION START/STOP button The START/STOP button is used to start or stop the engine, or to turn on the ignition without starting the engine. Note: The START/STOP button will only be operational if a valid Jaguar Smart key is detected within the vehicle. Switching on the ignition E94135 To turn on the ignition without starting the engine, make sure the brake pedal is not applied and that there is a valid Jaguar Smart Key in the vehicle, then press and release the START/STOP button. The warning indicators illuminate and most electrical systems will be operational. Note: If the brake pedal is pressed when the START/STOP button is pressed, the engine will start. Steering column lock During vehicle recovery, the Jaguar Smart Key must remain inside the vehicle (or be stowed in the starter control unit in the centre console), so that the steering column remains unlocked. Your vehicle is fitted with an electronic steering column lock. The column unlocks when it detects a Jaguar Smart Key inside the vehicle. The steering column automatically locks when the starter switch is turned off and the driver's door is opened. If the steering column remains locked, even with a valid Jaguar Smart Key in the vehicle, STEERING COLUMN LOCKED is displayed in the message centre. If this occurs: 1. Press the starter button to return to the convenience mode. 2. Try again to unlock the steering column lock, by turning the steering wheel gently to the left and right. 3. If the malfunction still persists, seek qualified assistance as soon as possible. 132
KEYLESS STARTING WARNING Never start the engine or leave it running, when the vehicle is in an enclosed space. Exhaust gases are poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death if inhaled. E94136 With the Jaguar Smart Key inside the vehicle and the brake pedal depressed, press and release the START/STOP button to start the engine. Note: On diesel models, Smart Start in progress is displayed in the message centre. If the brake pedal is released, a gear change is made or if a fault occurs, Smart Start cancelled is displayed in the message centre and the start procedure is cancelled. Starting a petrol engine With the brake pedal applied and with a valid Jaguar Smart Key in the vehicle, press and release the START/STOP button. The engine will start, the JaguarDrive selector will elevate out of the centre console and the air vents in the front fascia will rotate to the open position. Starting a diesel engine With the brake pedal applied and with a valid Jaguar Smart Key in the vehicle, press and release the START/STOP button. In ambient conditions, after 3 seconds, the engine will start to crank. The JaguarDrive selector will elevate out of the centre console and the air vents in the front fascia will rotate to the open position. Note: Smart Start in progress is displayed in the message centre prior to the engine cranking. If, during the start procedure, the brake pedal is released, a gear change is made or if a fault occurs, Smart Start cancelled is displayed in the message centre and the start procedure is cancelled. Cold climates In very cold conditions, the delay between pressing the START/STOP button and the engine cranking, can be up to 12 seconds. During this delay, keep the brake pedal applied and do not press the START/STOP button again, as this will switch off the ignition. Also in very cold conditions, expect engine cranking times to increase. 133
Engine block heaters The fitting of an engine block heater does not eliminate the need for antifreeze. Engines are more difficult to start when the ambient temperature is very low. In geographical areas where temperatures below -10 C (14 F) are experienced frequently, it is advisable to fit an engine block heater. The block heater will have an insulated connector at the front of the vehicle, which is connected to a mains supply using a suitable extension cable. The heater can remain in use overnight if required. Typically, an engine block heater will use between 400W and 1000W per hour. For further information consult your Jaguar If the engine fails to start When pressing the engine START/STOP button to start the engine, if the security status indicator lamp on the top surface of the instrument panel remains flashing, a fault condition is indicated. Seek qualified assistance as soon as possible. Note: If the Jaguar Smart Key is placed in the door pocket, it may be outside the range of the sensors when the door is opened. Note: If the fuel system inertia switch has tripped, the ignition circuit will be isolated. See FUEL CUT-OFF (page 177). Petrol engines If the engine persistently fails to start, press the START/STOP button (without applying the brake pedal) to return the ignition to convenience mode. Slowly depress the accelerator pedal fully, hold it in this position and press the START/STOP button with the brake pedal applied, the engine will start to crank. Release the accelerator pedal when the engine starts. If the engine still fails to start, consult your Diesel engines If the engine persistently fails to start, press and hold the START/STOP button (with the brake pedal applied). Keep the START/STOP button and the brake pedal pressed until the engine starts, then release. If the engine still fails to start, consult your SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE WARNING Never switch off the engine when the vehicle is in motion. With the gear selector in position P, press the engine START/STOP button. The engine will stop and the ignition system will return to convenience mode. The audio, telephone and touch-screen systems will revert to stand-by mode and the JaguarDrive selector will retract into the centre console. Pressing the START/STOP button again (without pressing the brake pedal) will activate the systems. 134
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) forms part of the emissions reduction system fitted to your vehicle. The DPF will remove a high proportion of the harmful carbon microspheres (soot) before they leave the exhaust. It achieves this by filtering out the particles, which are then stored until they are burnt away and the filter is emptied. Regeneration The regeneration procedure produces high temperatures in the DPF. Heat can be felt radiating from beneath the vehicle, which is normal and not a cause for concern. However, the vehicle should not be parked over combustible material, particularly during dry weather. The heat generated could be sufficient to start a fire when in close proximity to combustible material such as long dry grass, paper etc. Unlike a normal filter which requires periodic replacement, the DPF has been designed to regenerate, or clean itself, to maintain operating efficiency. This regeneration process takes place automatically in most cases. However, some unfavourable driving conditions may mean that the regeneration process must be initiated deliberately by the driver. Warning indicators and messages Failure to take the appropriate action when a warning message appears, may result in damage to the engine and DPF system, increased vehicle emissions and costly repairs. If regeneration cannot be achieved automatically by the system, due to short journeys for example, the driver will be notified via a warning indicator or message. DPF FULL If this message appears in the message centre (with a red backlight), the vehicle should be taken to your Dealer/Authorised Repairer as soon as possible. DPF FULL SEE HANDBOOK If this message appears in the message centre (with an amber backlight), the driver should carry out the DPF regeneration procedure that follows, as soon as possible. 135
Regeneration procedure If the warning DPF FULL SEE HANDBOOK appears in the message centre, carry out the following procedure as soon as possible. Note: At all times during this procedure you should observe all relevant speed limits, laws and regulations. Always take account of traffic and weather conditions and drive with consideration for other road users. 1. Drive the vehicle until the engine reaches normal operating temperature. The engine should not be left idling to achieve working temperature. 2. Drive the vehicle for a further twenty minutes, keeping the vehicle at a steady speed between 75 km/h (45 mph) and 120 km/h (75 mph). Keeping a constant speed enables the DPF to regenerate more efficiently. It is therefore recommended that Cruise control is used to achieve this, if possible. 3. If regeneration is successful, the warning message will extinguish. If the message remains, repeat the process. If the warning message fails to extinguish after 60 minutes of driving, contact your Dealer/ Authorised Repairer for assistance. 136
