APPROACH LAMPS
The headlamps can be illuminated remotely for
a programmed length of time, by pressing the
headlamp button on the Jaguar Smart key. See
5, UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE. Press the button
again to switch off.
Note: In some markets, a second press will
illuminate the reverse lamps and a third press
is required to turn the lamps off.
ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM
(AFS)
Adaptive front lighting is designed to give the
driver improved visibility, using a swivelling
headlamp unit, a static bending lamp and a
cornering lamp. These lamps broaden the
beam of the headlamps when cornering in
different circumstances.
The headlamp unit swivels accordingly when
cornering, to improve light spread on bends in
the road.
Static bending lamps: The static bending
lamps operate when necessary, to provide an
even broader light spread.
Cornering lamps: At speeds up to 40 km/h (25
mph), to provide improved visibility at
junctions, the system switches on the lamp if it
has received an input from the vehicle's
direction indicator. Only the lamp on the same
side as the operating indicator illuminates. The
lamp will self cancel after 3 minutes of
continuous operation.
WINDSCREEN WIPER DETECTION
This function only operates when autolamps is
selected. The side lamps, tail lamps and
headlamps will switch on automatically if the
windscreen wipers are switched on for 20
seconds or more. Once the windscreen wipers
are switched off, the side lamps and headlamps
will automatically switch off two minutes later.
AUTO HIGH BEAM
This feature automatically selects and
deselects high beam, under specific conditions
of road lighting and in the absence of other
vehicle’s lights. The system is only active when
the ambient light drops below a predetermined
level.
This function is only active if the rotary control
is in the AUTO position and the stalk is in the
central position.
The system will only activate when vehicle
speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h). The system
will deactivate when vehicle speed drops below
15 mph (24 km/h).
Note: Auto high beam does not operate when
reverse gear is selected.
To manually select high beam, move the stalk
to the high beam position as normal. To return
to Auto high beam, move the stalk back to the
central position.
To manually override to low beam from high
beam, pull the stalk to the flash position and
auto high beam will be cancelled. To return to
auto high beam, push the stalk to the high
beam position and then return it to the central
position.
Note: The following may affect the operation of
auto high beam:-
* Highly reflective road signs.
* Vehicles with dim headlamps.
* Adverse weather conditions.
* Dirty sensor.
* Dirty, damaged, or misted windscreen.
When auto high beam is enabled,
the system indicator will
illuminate.
