JAGUARDRIVE Controls: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, and 2014 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

ITEM	DESCRIPTION
1	Winter mode button
2	DSC/TracDSC mode button
3	Dynamic mode button

The system is controlled by buttons adjacent to the JaguarDrive selector on the floor console. The buttons allow the selection of one of the following three modes:

Special modes off.
Winter mode.
Dynamic mode.

The instrument cluster will display the selected JaguarDrive control mode in the message center.

For additional information, refer to: Instrument Cluster (Description and Operation).

The JaguarDrive control system uses a combination of a number of vehicle sub-systems to achieve the required vehicle characteristics for the mode selected. The following sub-systems make up the JaguarDrive control system:

EMS (engine management system). For additional information, refer to: Electronic Engine Controls - V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol (Description and Operation), Electronic Engine Controls - Electronic Engine Controls - V8 N/A 5.0L Petrol (Description and Operation).
Automatic transmission.
For additional information, refer to: Transmission Description (Description and Operation).
Brake system.
For additional information, refer to: Anti-Lock Control - Stability Assist - 5.0L (Description and Operation).
Adaptive dynamics.
For additional information, refer to: Vehicle Dynamic Suspension (Description and Operation).
Electronic differential control (SC vehicles only).
For additional information, refer to: Rear Drive Axle and Differential - 5.0L (Description and Operation).

The JaguarDrive control software is stored in the JaguarDrive selector module located below the JaguarDrive selector. The module detects the selection made using the buttons and transmits a signal on the high speed CAN (controller area network) bus, which is received by each of the sub-system control modules.

Each of the affected sub-system control modules contain software, which applies the correct operating parameters to their controlled system for the JaguarDrive control mode selection made.

Each sub-system control module also provides feedback for the selected mode so that the JaguarDrive control software can check that all systems have changed to the correct operating parameters.

NOTE: The JaguarDrive control system is a co-ordinating system only. It CANNOT generate a fault in one of the participating sub-systems. All participating sub-systems should be FULLY diagnosed before assuming a fault with JaguarDrive control. The JaguarDrive selector module should not be replaced until all other options have been exhausted.
