The XF offers two types of headlamp, Halogen projector or Bi-Xenon. The optional Bi-Xenon headlamps (standard equipment on 4.2 V8 and SV8) incorporate headlamp washers, which operates with the ´screen wash-wipe´ function, and cornering lamps - which illuminate the areas to the side of the car at low speeds when also using the turn indicators, or at large steering angles.

In addition to the standard rear parking aid, the XF offers the option of a similar system for the front of the car, using four sensors to detect any nearby obstacle and alert the driver with an audible signal and a visual display on the Touch-screen. The front parking aid is available together with the new rear camera parking aid. These features are standard equipment on 4.2 V8 and SV8.

For the first time on any Jaguar, the XF´s rear camera parking aid offers a system that combines a rear-facing digital video camera with the Touch-screen information centre. So with the XF´s rear camera parking aid, objects that may have been obscured when reversing can now be seen. Standard equipment on 4.2 V8 and SV8.

XF customers can also import their own portable media player to interface with the car – including iPod® and other portable audio players, or USB storage devices such as memory sticks.  In a world first, full Touch-screen control of the iPod® allows access to Playlists and Music Search by Artist, Album or Genre.  USB Mass Storage devices can also be accessed via the Touch-screen and other players can be connected to the car through the standard fit 3.5mm Stereo Auxiliary Input port.

iPod® is a trademark of Apple Computers, Inc. registered in the U.S. and other countries.

The top-of-the-range Bowers & Wilkins 440W surround sound system with AM/FM radio, 6- disc in-dash CD changer with MP3 compatibility and Portable Audio interface, offers extraordinary clarity and faithful sound reproduction. Designed and tuned for the XF by Bowers & Wilkins, the surround sound system delivers a powerful and vivid performance.

The Bowers & Wilkins 440W surround sound system has a remote amplifier with Dolby® Pro-Logic® II 7.1 surround sound and 14 speakers. Bowers & Wilkins technology, exclusively used in Jaguar cars, is acclaimed by audiophiles, artists and recording engineers alike. Kevlar® cones in the larger speakers (the distinctive yellow appearance is discretely visible through the speaker grille) improve linearity of response and reduce distortion, while Aluminium domes on the tweeters improve sound reproduction at high frequencies by reducing the weight of the moving part.

With JaguarVoice™, many functions can be controlled simply by asking – and all without ever taking your eyes off the road. After pressing the steering wheel ´voice´ button, the XF´s voice recognition technology allows the driver to give instructions to the navigation system, adjust climate control settings, make phone calls (including using stored phonebook information) or change the radio frequency or tracks on the CD autochanger.

The XF´s TV technology receives both analogue and digital signals allowing driver and passengers to view TV on the Touch-screen as long as the car is stationary. The country or format can be selected simply by scrolling through a menu.  The TV includes a channel-search function, and the system allows up to nine analogue and nine digital channel pre-sets to be stored. Standard equipment on SV8.

For those cold winter mornings, the XF offers one more touch of luxury – a heated steering wheel rim that makes the wheel as comfortable to touch as the heated seats are to sit on.

Controlled through the Touch-screen, the heated steering wheel can be switched on independently from the heated seat.

The XF´s Tyre Pressure Monitoring System adds one more level of safety for the driver´s peace of mind. Sensors in each wheel continuously monitor the pressure in each tyre, and alert the driver to any unusual change that could signal a loss of pressure before it becomes a serious problem.
