Message Center

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.

The message center is a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) screen located in the center of the Instrument Cluster (IC). Other information displayed in this area will be temporarily removed to allow for the message to be displayed.

For additional information, refer to: Instrument Cluster .

The majority of messages are generated by the IC which monitors system status via the High Speed (HS) Controller Area Network (CAN) powertrain and comfort systems buses and displays system information messages as requested by the other control modules. Other system control modules are also capable of generating messages to display system status. Some messages are accompanied by a chime, which is requested by the control module generating the message and generated by the IC via the sounder, which is located on the back of the IC.

The messages are displayed in priority order (if more than one message) for approximately 4 seconds as the event occurs. The driver can view current system status messages in the message center. When the ignition is on the warning messages can be displayed using the 'Show Warnings' selection of the 'Driving Features' in the Main Menu.

The message may be accompanied by an icon.

The fuel gauge and temperature gauge are located in the message center.

The low fuel warning is located next to the fuel gauge.

The engine temperature warning is located next to the temperature gauge.

Further warning lamps are located at the top of the message center.

For additional information, refer to: Instrument Cluster .

The messages are displayed in a language applicable to the vehicle market and can be changed using the 'Language' selection of the 'Instrument Display' in the Main Menu.
