Normal Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jaguar XJR, 2005 Jaguar XJ8, 2004 Jaguar XJR, and 2004 Jaguar XJ8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Normal mode can be selected by activation of the transmission mode switch located on the J-Gate. Once activated this mode will remain engaged until the driver deselects the mode or engages the cruise control system. If the driver engages cruise control when Normal mode is active upon deactivation of the cruise system the transmission will automatically re-engage Normal mode. This mode can be over-ridden by a number of adaptive modes.

The mode switch is of the momentary type.
