A FOCUS ON SAFETY

The sophisticated safety systems help to ensure a safe journey for driver, passengers and other road users.

• 

  PROTECTIVE BODYSHELL

  The vehicle’s reinforced bodyshell incorporates high-strength steels to create a vertical safety ring around the cabin.

• 

  AIRBAG AND SAFE SEATING

  The XF has two-stage airbags for the driver and front passenger, as well as side and curtain airbags – all controlled by a sensing system that ensures they will only deploy if the seats are occupied. In addition, the seatbelts feature ‘soft landing’ technology to soften the contact with the airbag, and an anti-whiplash system is designed to move the head restraints forward if there is an accident.

• BLIND SPOT MONITOR

  The optional Blind Spot Monitor uses radar to take much of the uncertainty out of changing lanes. An amber warning icon appears in the external mirror when the system detects vehicles that can’t be seen either directly or in one of the mirrors.

• 

  AIDS TO SAFER DRIVING

  All XF vehicles feature a number of safety systems designed to improve road-holding and stability:
  
  - Emergency brake assist
  - Electronic brake-force distribution
  - Anti-lock brakes
  - Traction control (through engine and brake intervention)
  - Dynamic Stability Control
  - Cornering brake control
  - Engine drag torque control
  
  When Adaptive Cruise Control is specified, the car also features Intelligent Emergency Braking that prepares the brake if it senses a collision is imminent and active seat belts that detect how firmly they need to be applied during emergency braking.
  
  The vehicles also have understeer control logic, which is designed to help slow the car and restore grip to the front wheels if the driver understeers.

• 

  SAFER, MORE PRECISE PARKING

  Ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper are designed to detect objects up to 70 inches away and provide the driver with an audible warning. At the same time, graphics on the Touch-screen represent where the object is in relation to the car.
  In addition, the combination of a front parking aid – designed to alert the driver to objects ahead of the car – and a rear camera parking aid, which displays video from a rear-facing digital camera on the Touch-screen, is standard across the range except on XF (optional).

• TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING

  The system will provide the driver with an alert message if the pressure in any of the tires goes down.

• SECURITY

  Door locks are controlled remotely via the key fob.  For vehicle equipped with keyless entry, each door can also be locked or double-locked with a button on the handle. In addition, the doors will lock automatically when the car reaches a pre-set speed, which can be chosen by the driver. The vehicle is also protected by an alarm and an engine immobilizer.
