Incorrect Mode Usage

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.

Selection of an inappropriate mode is discouraged in the following ways:

The active mode icon is continually displayed in the instrument cluster message center.
In dynamic mode, when the ignition has been in the off position continuously for more than 6 hours, the JaguarDrive control system defaults to the special modes off (DSC on).

Selection of an inappropriate mode for the conditions will not endanger the driver or immediately cause damage to the vehicle. Continued use of an inappropriate mode may reduce the life of some components. The driver may notice a different vehicle response, with the engine and transmission responses being different than in the special modes off.
