Safety

 

Adaptive Restraint Technology System (ARTS)
The XK is fitted with Jaguar´s highly sophisticated Adaptive Restraint Technology System (ARTS) for driver and front passenger protection. By detecting the position of the driver in relation to the steering wheel, and the presence, seat position and weight of the front passenger, and safety belt use for both, ARTS can determine which safety systems to activate and, when applicable, the airbag energy levels most appropriate.*
 
 
Convertible Rollover Protection System
The XK Convertible features an advanced rollover protection system to help protect occupants in the event of an accident. If the system detects an imminent rollover, two high-strength aluminum bars housed behind the rear seats are deployed—whether the convertible top is up or down—and work in conjunction with the XK´s other safety systems to help provide enhanced protection.
 
 
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
The XK´s Tire Pressure Monitoring System uses wheel-mounted sensors to continuously monitor each tire´s pressure. The message center on the instrument panel alerts the driver if tire pressure is low on a specific tire, or if the tire pressure on all tires is not suitable for the speed at which the driver is traveling.
 
 
TracDSC
TracDSC (Dynamic Stability Control) electronically uses the anti-lock braking and traction control systems to improve directional stability when cornering, helping to prevent skids and loss of control by reducing power from the engine, and applying the brakes to individual wheels as appropriate.**
 
 
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
The sophisticated four-channel ABS system varies the brake pressure at each wheel using analog valves in the hydraulic control unit. Unlike conventional digital ABS systems used on many cars, the analog version gives more refinement to the hydraulic pressure control and increases steering input during heavy braking.
 
 
Emergency Brake Assist
Emergency Brake Assist measures the rate of braking in an emergency, automatically initiating full braking power when necessary. In the most critical situations, the substantial reduction of stopping distance can help prevent serious incidents. 
 
 
Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH)
The rear seat Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) system securely anchors the child safety seat directly to the car seats without requiring the use of safety belts, offering innovative protection to the youngest passengers.
 
 
 
Notes:
* Drive responsibly, always wear your safety belt, and secure children in the rear seat.

** Even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It is always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.
