2023 JAGUAR F-TYPE AFTER A COLLISION

BEFORE STARTING OR DRIVING

WARNING
If the vehicle is involved in a collision, it should be checked by a retailer/authorized repairer, or suitably qualified personnel, before starting or driving. A collision can damage the vehicle and its systems, making the vehicle unsafe, which may lead to serious injury or death.

NOTES
The vehicle may have an SOS emergency call button and an optimized assistance call button. See SOS EMERGENCY CALL.

NOTES
Some vehicles have a Post Crash Braking function that will in certain circumstances apply the vehicle brakes following a collision. The brakes are released when the ignition is cycled.

EVENT DATA RECORDING

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:

How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.

NOTES
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

SERVICE DATA RECORDING

Service data recorders in the vehicle are capable of collecting and storing diagnostic information about the vehicle. Potentially, this includes information about the performance or status of various systems and modules in the vehicle, such as the engine, accelerator pedal, steering, or brakes.

In order to properly diagnose and service the vehicle, a retailer/authorized repairer may access the vehicle’s diagnostic information through a direct connection to the vehicle.
