Engine Stall

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

If the vehicle stalls it will coast down in gear, with the transmission providing drive to the engine. A restart can be attempted at this point and the engine may start and the driver can continue.

If the coast down speed reduces such that the speed of the engine is less than 400 RPM, the transmission will go to neutral, D illumination will flash in the IC. The driver needs to select neutral or park and then press the brake pedal to restart the engine.

If the Stop/start switch is pressed when driving, the message 'ENGINE STOP BUTTON PRESSED' is displayed in the message center but there will be no change to the ignition state. If the driver requires to switch off the engine, the Stop/start switch must be pressed for a second time. The engine will be stopped and will be back driven by the transmission as the vehicle coasts down.
