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
8, 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 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.
Cornering lamps: At speeds up to 25 mph (40
km/h), 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.
WINDSHIELD WIPER DETECTION
This function only operates when auto lamps is
selected. The side lamps, tail lamps and
headlamps will switch on automatically if the
windshield wipers are switched on for 20
seconds or more. Once the windshield 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 lighting switch
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.
Daylight running lamps can be
enabled/disabled by your
Dealer/Authorized Repairer.
When auto high beam is enabled,
the system indicator will
illuminate.
