AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The transmission system is designed to
operate in two distinct modes,
conventional automatic and Jaguar
Sequential Shift.
The automatic modes are accessed by
the gear selector:
• D - Drive - automatic shifting.
• S - Sport - sport automatic shifting.
The Jaguar Sequential Shift mode
enables sequential manual gear selection
in D (temporary) and S (permanent)
modes via the steering wheel mounted
paddles.
Note: In addition to the standard shift
patterns available in D and S, the
transmission will adapt to differing driving
conditions by modifying shift points based
upon vehicle sensor information for road
gradient, cornering, braking pressure and
driving style.
Gearshift interlock
!
WARNING:
The brake pedal must be applied
before selecting forward or reverse
drive from a stationary position.
A brake pedal and gearshift interlock
system is incorporated in the automatic
gear selector mechanism.
To move the gear selector from Park:
1. Ensure the ignition system is in the
convenience mode or start the
engine.
2. Press the brake pedal.
Gear selection and message centre
indication
The message centre indicates the
position of the gear selector at the top of
the message centre screen. When
automatic selection is made the screen
indicates either P, R, N or D, 1. When S is
selected the indication changes to DS, 2
and if manual selection is made the
indication is from 1 to 6, 3.
P = Park – Use when parked. In this
position the transmission is locked. Do
not select if the vehicle is moving.
R = Reverse – Do not select if the vehicle
is moving forward.
