Memory Recall

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Jaguar XKR, 2011 Jaguar XK, 2010 Jaguar XKR, and 2010 Jaguar XK. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Memory recall has 3 memory positions stored for the seats, steering column and exterior mirrors. The switches for this function are located on driver and passenger door side trim panel. Pressing the appropriate numbered memory switch allows the seat to start moving to the position appropriate to that memory. When the switch is released the system will operate in manual mode. This means that when the switch is released, the seat will stop moving. In order to reach the intended memory position, the switch must not be released until all movement has stopped.

When a memory recall is initiated, to limit the overall current consumption, only 2-seat axis will move towards their intended position at any one time.

Both mirrors move simultaneously about the vertical axis first (left/right), and then, once all vertical axis movements are complete, about the horizontal axis (up/down). To minimize the number of mirror drives required, a method of sharing is implemented, which dictates that all movement about 1 axis is complete before movement about the other axis commences.
