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 alarm indicator is a LED (light emitting diode) located in the body of the sunload/light sensor. When the ignition is off the alarm indicator gives a visual indication of the active anti - theft system status, to show if the alarm system is set or not.

When the ignition is on, the indicator provides a visual indication of the status of the passive anti - theft (engine immobilization) system. If the immobilization system is operating correctly, the LED will be illuminated for 3 seconds at ignition on and then extinguish.

If a fault exists in the immobilization system, the LED will be either permanently illuminated or flashing for 60 seconds. This indicates that a fault exists and fault code has been recorded. After the 60 second period the LED will flash at different frequencies which indicate the nature of the fault.

For additional information, refer to: Anti - Theft - Active

Operation of the alarm indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster, which varies the flash rate of the LED to indicate the status of the alarm and the immobilization systems.
