S-TYPE Safety Features
S-TYPE Safety
A safer environment
The S-TYPE takes occupant protection to new heights of refinement. An energy absorbent seating system incorporates anti-whiplash protection.  Seatbelt pre-tensioners, Isofix child safety seats, front, side and curtain airbags and impact absorbing crumple zones offer passive safety that´s second to none. Jaguar´s Adaptive Restraint Technology System (A.R.T.S.) is also standard on all models.
DSC protects you by detecting understeer or oversteer, and adjusting power and applying brakes to the appropriate wheels to maintain grip.

EBA
In the event of an emergency, Emergency Brake Assist senses if a driver is not applying maximum braking and intervenes to deliver the necessary additional force, gaining a potentially critical few metres in stopping distance.

Within about one fifth of the time it takes to blink, A.R.T.S. analyses the severity of a crash and deploys safety systems for optimum protection. Using sensors to monitor the size, weight and seating position of front seat occupants – as well as steering wheel position and seat belt usage – A.R.T.S. ensures airbags and seat belt pre-tensioners are deployed safely and appropriately, minimising the risk of airbag-related injuries.

With cruise control activated, ACC will automatically maintain a pre-set, safe distance from the vehicle in front - even if it slows down. It will even warn you if another vehicle tries to move into your lane. If you prefer, it can be set simply to alert you if traffic ahead starts to slow down

Drive-away Door Locking
For your safety and security, door locks and boot locks will engage automatically, when you drive away.

Anti-whiplash Protection
Jaguar´s energy-absorbent seating system reduces the incidence of whiplash injury in a rear impact. Instead of front-seat occupants being forced back into a rigid seatback, the backrest is designed to move rearward, first in an upright position and then tilting back, absorbing the impact energy and reducing the relative acceleration
