Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Jaguar XF, 2014 Jaguar XF, and 2013 Jaguar XF. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The ASL system is activated via a switch in the floor console. The system speed is set using the speed control SET '+' and '-' switches. The selected speed is displayed in the instrument cluster. The set speed can be adjusted at any time using the speed control '+' or '-' switches. ASL can be suspended by pressing the 'CANCEL' switch. ASL can be resumed using the 'RESUME' switch, but only if the vehicle speed is at or below the ASL set speed and above 32 km/h (20 mph). If the vehicle speed is too high to resume ASL operation, a message will be displayed in the instrument cluster.

The ASL system allows full driver control of the vehicle speed up to the set speed. The speed limiter will restrict the vehicle speed and will not allow the speed to go over the set limit. If kickdown is activated (by fully depressing the accelerator pedal), ASL will be temporarily overridden.

This system operates in exclusivity with either the standard speed control system or the adaptive speed control system, only one of these systems can be active at any one time.

On a vehicle fitted with the ASL system, the speed control system that was in use when the ignition was turned off (ignition mode 0) is saved and activated again when the ignition is turned back on (ignition mode 6). However the speed settings are not remembered and will have to be set again.
