External Controls: Introduction
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.
The external controls for the transmission consist of a JaguarDrive selector, two paddle switches and an emergency park release.
The JaguarDrive selector transmits driver transmission selections to the transmission control module (TCM). The paddle switches allow the driver to initiate gear shifts when the transmission is in the sequential shift manual mode. The emergency park release ensures the transmission is kept in neutral during vehicle recovery operations.
