External Controls - Overview (G1550396)

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 external controls for the transmission consist of a Transmission Control Switch (TCS), two paddle switches and an emergency park release.

The TCS transmits driver transmission selections to the TCM (transmission control module). The paddle switches can be used to initiate gear changes, with the TCS in either the D or S position, causing a change of operating mode from automatic gear selection to manual gear selection. The emergency park release ensures the transmission is kept in neutral during vehicle recovery operations.

On RWD vehicles, the park release operating lever is located below a cover in the floor console. On AWD vehicles, the operating lever is located in the engine compartment, attached to the supercharger on the left side of the engine.

Four additional switches adjacent to the JaguarDrive TCS (transmission control switch) control the JaguarDrive control functions.
