Forward Alert

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XF, 2017 Jaguar XF, and 2016 Jaguar XF. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If an object is detected close ahead, a warning tone will be emitted from the IC and a message will be displayed in the message center. The brakes will not be applied.

The forward alert system is active when the warning indicator in the IC is illuminated. Forward alert does not initiate any action, the driver must take the appropriate action when the message is displayed in the message center. The system monitors driver intervention and may not issue the warning if the driver has taken the appropriate action (braking, steering or indicating) early enough.

The sensitivity of the warning can be changed using the gap increase and decrease switches when the adaptive speed control is not engaged. Confirmation of the gap change is given in the message center.
