External Controls - Overview (G1772598): Overview

The external controls for the transmission consist of a Transmission Control Switch (TCS), two paddle switches and an EPR (Emergency Park Release) cable assembly.

The TCS transmits driver transmission selections to the TCM (Transmission Control Module). The paddle switches can be used to initiate gear changes, with the TCS in either the 'D' (drive) or 'S' (sport) position, causing a change of operating mode from automatic gear selection to manual gear selection. The EPR ensures the transmission is kept in 'N' (neutral) position during vehicle recovery operations.

On RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) vehicles, the EPR lever is located below a cover in the floor console. On AWD (All Wheel Drive) vehicles, the lower EPR cable upper end is attached to the supercharger on the left side of the engine in the engine compartment. An additional EPR service tool is required to perform the releasing procedure. Refer to: DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION .

Four additional switches adjacent to the TCS control the JDC (JaguarDrive Control) functions. For additional information, refer to:
