Forward Alert

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.

Limited detection and warning of vehicles ahead is provided during adaptive cruise control operation by the forward alert warning. The enhanced forward alert warning provides additional warnings and can be used when adaptive speed control is active or inactive. If a vehicle is detected close ahead, a warning tone will be emitted and a 'Forward Alert' message will be displayed. Throttle and braking intervention is NOT  applied.

The forward alert system is active when the warning indicator in the instrument cluster is illuminated. Forward alert does not initiate any action, the driver must take the appropriate action when the message is displayed. The system monitors driver intervention and may not issue the warning if the driver has taken the appropriate action (braking, steering or indicating) early enough.
