Engage Speed Control

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Speed control is engaged by pressing the SET '+' switch. On receipt of the switch input, the PCM adopts the current vehicle speed as the speed control set speed. When speed control is engaged, the Instrument Cluster (IC) illuminates the speed control warning indicator and the set speed is displayed in the message center. Once engaged the speed can be increased by one of 3 methods:

Press and hold the SET '+' switch which will cause the vehicle to accelerate. When the switch is released the attained speed will be set as the cruise speed
Repeatedly pressing the SET '+' switch. Each press increases the vehicle speed by 2 km/h (1 mph)
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle speed. Once the required speed is reached, a single press of the SET '+' switch will set the cruise speed.

Speed control adjustment is limited around the current vehicle speed. This means speed adjustment will not occur when the 'RES' switch is pressed or if the vehicle speed is noticeably different to set speed. This is noticeable when resuming speed control and a large difference exists between the set speed and the current speed. The driver can set a new speed, but cannot adjust the old speed.
