The sport mode changes the shift points on the transmission.
where is the starter located on a jaguar xk8?
what does fail safe engine mode mean on a 2000 jaguar s type? how to fix this problem?handle
Yes, the Jaguar XK8 does have a fuel pump.
it holds the transmission in gear longer as you drive. Right, it just delays the shifting so the engine stays at higher revs where the power is the strongest.
Unlock the driver's door using the BLACK key (not the green one).
I've researched the answer and found that one button, which has a little icon that looks like a speedometer on it is for cruise control. The other button, which has an "S" on it, is for "Sport Mode", which causes you engine to rev a bit higher in each gear, spending more gas, but giving a faster acceleration.
The XK8 is computer chip limited to 155mph.
What do you mean by "valet mode"? If you mean the trunk release button won't work, there's a valet switch inside the glove compartment that activates and deactivates it. Just turn it off. OR You use the black key in the trunk keyhole which is located in the xk8 emblem. The Keyhole is located between the x and k. That should take it of valet mode.
Jaguar or Ford Dealer
The Jaguar XK8 retails from $79,000 for a coupe to $85,000 for a convertible model of Jaguar XK touring. The Jaguar XK ranges from $84, 500 for a coupe to $90,500 for a convertible model.
Use the black key that you have to open the truck, it overrides the Valet Mode. The key goes in a hole that is between the X and the K on the enblem on the rear of the car.
There isn't one on a 98 XK8.
