2022 JAGUAR E-PACE COLLISION AVOIDANCE
COLLISION AVOIDANCE SAFETY
Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before driving the vehicle. Failure to use the collision avoidance systems safely could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
Collision avoidance systems are not a substitute for driving safely, with due care and attention. Staying alert, driving safely, and being in control of the vehicle at all times is the responsibility of the driver.
Blind spot driving aids are a supplement to, not a replacement for, a safe driving style.
The driver is responsible for driving with due care and attention, and in a safe manner for the vehicle, the occupants, and other road users. The driver is responsible for detecting obstacles, and estimating the vehicle’s distance from them when maneuvering the vehicle. The driver should observe all road signs, road markings and any potential braking situations, and act appropriately.
Always use the door and rear-view mirrors. Drive safely at all times, and use the door and rear-view mirrors to help avoid accidents.
Blind spot driving aids may not function at all speeds, or in all weather conditions.
Blind spot driving aids do not correct errors of judgment when driving.
The radar and camera sensors used by the blind spot driving aids may become impaired by mud, rain, frost, ice, snow, and road spray. The blind spot driving aids ability to detect a vehicle in the driver’s blind spot may subsequently be affected and may give false indications.
Do not attach stickers or objects to the rear bumper or to the windshield. Operation of the blind spot sensors and camera may subsequently become impaired. The blind spot driving aids ability to detect a vehicle in the driver’s blind spot may subsequently be affected and may give false indications.
Do not attach stickers or other objects to the door mirrors, as the blind spot icons and indicators may become obscured. Obscuring the icons and indicators could increase the risk of a collision during a vehicle maneuver.
The blind spot monitor system may not be able to give adequate warning of vehicles approaching very quickly from behind.
The blind spot monitor system may not be able to detect all vehicles and may also detect objects such as roadside barriers.
The radar sensor must be calibrated if it is replaced, its mounting is replaced, or it becomes misaligned, e.g., as a result of impact damage. Contact a retailer/authorized repairer.
FORWARD ALERT
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See COLLISION AVOIDANCE SAFETY.
Forward alert may not react to slow-moving vehicles. Always drive with due care and attention. Driving without due care and attention greatly increases the risk of an accident.
The driver is recommended to switch off the forward alert system when driving off-road, using a car wash, or when the vehicle is being towed.
Forward alert monitors an area in front of the vehicle. The driver is warned if forward alert detects an object within the detection area. The instrument panel also displays a warning message if the vehicle is traveling between 18 mph (30 km/h) and 50 mph (80 km/h). The driver is responsible for taking appropriate action.
Four forward alert sensitivity settings are available:
- Off
- Very Early
- Early
- Normal.
Warnings sound and the instrument panel displays a warning message if forward alert detects an object in front of the vehicle.
Additionally, haptic alerts are used to notify the driver if forward alert detects an object in front of the vehicle.
Forward alert can be switched on or off and the sensitivity settings can be adjusted via the Driver Assistance menu. See CHANGING THE FORWARD ALERT SENSITIVITY.
