Park Interlock And Neutral Lock: Notes

Neutral lock is a new feature introduced as a requirement for the JaguarDrive selector. The selector is always locked at ignition on when the engine is not running, except after an engine stall when the selector is not in P or N.

If, when driving with the JaguarDrive selector in S, D or R at a speed of more than 5 km/h (3 mph), the driver selects P or N:

• Without the brake pedal pressed, the JaguarDrive selector will be immediately locked once the vehicle speed falls to below 5 km/h (3 mph).
• With the brake pedal pressed, the JaguarDrive selector will remain locked for as long as the brake pedal remains pressed, regardless of vehicle speed.

The transmission will only engage park once the vehicle speed is less than 2 km/h (1 mph).

If the driver selects N and releases the brake pedal with a vehicle speed of less than 5 km/h (3 mph), the JaguarDrive selector will be locked 2 seconds after N is selected. The selector will remain locked until the driver presses the brake pedal again.

To ensure that a driver request to change from a non-driving range (N for example) to a driving range (D for example), the park interlock and neutral lock features are used in conjunction with the intermediate position.

If the transmission receives a range change request without the brake pedal pressed, the TCM initiates a soft lock function. The transmission will remain in park or neutral, depending on the starting position.

If a transmission position letter is flashing in the message center and the vehicle has no drive, the driver must:

• Press the brake pedal.
• Reselect N or P on the JaguarDrive selector.
• Select the required driving range, ensuring that the brake pedal is pressed.
