Occupant Protection
Before Driving
Seat Belts
The use of front and rear seat belts is
mandatory in most countries. Using seat
belts saves lives. They should be worn by
all occupants whenever the vehicle is in
use, for maximum protection.
This vehicle has an individual lap/
shoulder inertia reel seat belt for each
occupant.
The inertia operating mechanism of the
seat belts allows the wearers to move
their upper bodies to reach various
controls. The seat belts will lock
automatically with accelerated body
movement or in the event of emergency
braking. Both front seat belts are
equipped with pretensioners to assist
restraint and safety belt force limiters to
help minimise the risk of upper body
injuries.
Seat belt height adjustment is provided
for driver and front seat passenger to
ensure that the seat belt webbing can be
positioned to pass over the shoulder
without pulling against the neck. It can be
locked in any of five positions.
Seat Belt Fitting
!
WARNING:
Do not adjust the seat belt while
driving.
Draw the tongue of the seat belt over the
shoulder, across the chest and push it
into the buckle unit slot. A positive ‘click’
indicates that it is safely locked.
The use of comfort clips or devices that
would create slackness in the seat belt
system are not recommended.
Always ensure that the webbing is
midway between the neck and the edge
of the shoulder. Correct tension is
controlled by automatic retraction of the
reel.

Occupant Protection
A warning light on the instrument panel
comes on when the driver’s seat belt is
not fastened. (In some countries a
warning signal sounds for six seconds.)
Note:
If the vehicle is parked on unlevel
ground, the seat belt mechanism may
lock. This is not a fault: allow the seat belt
to retract a small amount before gently
easing it from its attachment.
The diagonal part of the seat belt should
be placed between the breasts, and worn
above and to the side of the pregnant
abdomen.
Never place anything between you and
the seat belt in an attempt to cushion the
impact in the event of an accident. It can
be dangerous and reduce the
effectiveness of the seat belt in preventing
injury.
Always wear seat belts without slack or
twists, since slack in a seat belt drastically
reduces the effectiveness of the belt and
the level of protection it can provide. For
optimum protection, the seat belts should
fit tightly around the body. Do not recline
the front seats excessively, as the belts
provide maximum protection when the
seats are in the near upright position.
Pregnant women
Front belt height adjustment
!
WARNING:
•
Pregnant women must wear a
correctly positioned seat belt; it is
safer for mother and unborn child.
•
Never wear just the lap strap of a
lap/shoulder diagonal seat belt and
never sit on the lap strap using just
the shoulder strap. Both of these
actions are extremely dangerous
and may increase your risk of
serious injury.
There are many ways that the seat belt
can be misused for the sake of comfort.
However, there is only one way of wearing
it safely.
The lap strap should be fitted comfortably
across the hips, low beneath the pregnant
abdomen.
To operate:
Press the locking button and
slide the anchorage point to the required
position to ensure comfort and safety.
Release the button and check that the
anchorage point is locked.
Always check the anchorage point after
the seat has been adjusted to ensure that
the belt is correctly positioned.

Occupant Protection
Inertia reel mechanism check
With the seat belt fastened, give the belt
near the buckle a quick upward pull. The
buckle must remain securely locked.
With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the
belt to the limit of its travel. Check that the
unreeling is free from snatches and snags
and then allow the belt to FULLY retract.
Partially unreel the belt, then hold the
buckle and give it a quick forward pull.
The mechanism must lock and prevent
any futher unreeling.
If a seat belt should fail any of these tests,
contact your Jaguar Retailer immediately.
•
It is essential to renew the entire
assembly after it has been worn in a
severe impact even if damage to
the assembly is not obvious. The
assembly must only be fitted by a
Jaguar Retailer or Approved
Repairer.
•
Belts should not be worn with the
webbing twisted.
•
Each seat belt assembly must only
be used by one occupant; it is
dangerous to put a seat belt around
a child being carried on the
occupant’s lap.
•
No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
will prevent the seat belt adjusting
devices from operating.
!
WARNING:
•
Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body. The lap section of the belt
must be worn low across the front
of the pelvis and NOT across the
abdominal area. Always ensure that
the webbing is midway between the
neck and the edge of the shoulder.
•
Should the seat belt not retract and
remain at its static length, consult
your nearest Jaguar Retailer
immediately.
•
Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing with
polishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using mild
soap and water. If webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated or
damaged, a new seat belt must be
fitted by a Jaguar Retailer or
Approved Repairer.

Air Bags
Air bag location
1.
Driver’s knee air bag.
2.
Driver’s air bag.
3.
Curtain air bag (left-hand and
right-hand side).
4.
Seat-mounted side air bag (left-hand
and rght-hand front seats).
5.
Front passenger air bag.
The air bag supplementary restraint
system incorporates front, side thorax
and side head air bags for the driver and
front passenger, a knee air bag for the
driver and side head air bags for rear seat
passengers. These are indicated by the
words ‘air bag’ on the trim. They are used
in conjunction with the seat belts to help
protect occupants from upper body
(thorax) and head injuries.

Occupant Protection
!
WARNING:
The air bag is a supplementary
restraint system that provides
ADDITIONAL protection in a severe
impact only - it does NOT replace the
need to wear a seat belt. For maximum
safety protection in all crash situations,
a seat belt must be worn.
Provided occupants are correctly
seated, with seat belts worn, the air
bags will provide additional protection
to the chest and facial areas of the
front seat occupants in the event of a
vehicle receiving a severe frontal
impact, and also to the side and head
of the body facing the impact if a
severe side collision occurs.
Note:
Front air bags are designed to
inflate in frontal and near frontal collisions,
not low speed impacts, roll-over,
side-impact or rear-impact.
Driver’s knee air bag
The driver’s knee air bag (
1
, see previous
page) provides an additional method of
restraining the driver in the event of a
frontal or near-frontal collision.
The driver’s knee air bag is fitted to all
models. It is located in the panel below
the steering column and will normally
deploy at the same time as the driver’s air
bag.
!
WARNING:
•
The driver’s knee air bag will not
deploy if the driver’s seat is near to
its full forward position. Do not sit
too close to the steering wheel
(refer to page 50).
Front air bags
With a front impact of sufficient force, the
restraints system will trigger the front air
bag(s) and seat belt pretensioners.
Both front air bags (
2
and
5
, see
illustration on page 48) use dual inflation
technology which means that if activated,
the bag(s) will deploy at either a normal or
reduced level of inflation, depending on
crash severity. The lower level is also
selected if the driver is close to the
steering wheel.
The passenger seat is monitored by a
seat weight sensor to determine the
presence and weight of the front
passenger.
In certain conditions, e.g. where no
passenger is present, the appropriate air
bags will be deactivated: in a collision
these air bags would not be deployed.
•
Do not attach any objects
whatsoever to the driver’s knee air
bag panel; it could cause injury in
the event of a collision. Consult
your Jaguar Retailer before
installing any accessories in the
driver’s fascia area (e.g. hands-free
telephone kits).
