BATTERY CURRENT DRAIN TYPICAL VALUES

The battery drain should be measured with the vehicle in the double locked armed state (i.e. vehicle alarm fully armed), with all doors and other body apertures either closed, or latched so as to appear closed from an electrical point of view.

The test should take place after the vehicle has entered shut-down mode. The time taken for this to occur after key-off varies according to model. (Refer to the table below)

NOTE: That when the vehicle is armed, the effect of the LED flashing is to cause a pulsation in the measured current drain. In this case, either the time average current should be taken, (using a meter with an averaging function), or the current reading should be taken, ignoring the brief high current peaks.

The current drain after the initial shutdown period, should not exceed the value shown in table.







NOTE: The total current drain will be higher if certain Jaguar approved accessories (e.g. Tracker; Cool bag; Trailer Tow Module) are fitted.
