Message Center: 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.

The message center LCD display has a viewable area of 240 pixels horizontal and 315 pixels vertical. It is divided into five information display zones as follows, starting from the top:

Transmission position
Set speed
Warning/Message display
Odometer/Trip computer information/engine oil level
Fuel level.

The message center is active at all times when the ignition is on and can also be active when the ignition is off, dependant on the information to be displayed.

The message center LCD is displayed at its full brightness when the ignition is on and the exterior lights are off. If the exterior lights have been activated by the AUTO windshield wipers feature, the illumination will remain at full brightness. If the exterior lights are on in any position other than AUTO, then the LCD will be illuminated at a brightness controlled by the illumination dimmer which is located in the auxiliary lighting switch.

If more than one message is active, each message is displayed in turn in the order of priority. Once all messages have been displayed, they are again displayed in turn for 2 seconds each. Warning messages can be displayed when the ignition is in convenience mode which is the initial ignition state when a door is opened.
