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.

The brake pedal must be applied
before selecting forward or reverse

not select if the vehicle is moving.
