The only thing different I have noticed is there may be a slight delay. When you push the start, you are "ON", hit D or R depending on how you parked and go. The only problem I noticed is when in a hurry, I hit D to quick and it didn't engage and I was still in P. Also, I came to IPACE from a BMW so several times without thinking, I didn't realize it was on.. No Engine noise. Hopefully that answers your question. Now one last thing, there could be a feature in your set up that may delay this, I would need to re-check, I dont remember anything that should hold you up, but it is a computer soooo.

 

Yeah, that's the strange thing, I do hit start and it just brings up the picture of the car. The 2nd press does what you'd think the first press would. Of course in both cases I have my foot on the brake, otherwise you'd just be in accessory position. I'll have to look at it again and if this is the ongoing behavior, I'll look into the manual for an answer.

 

One press of the Start button should turn the car On and "Ready" will illuminate in green on the instrument panel.

 

Curt, that's what I would have thought. I'll need to look at it again after my electrician leaves. But this morning I got into the locked car in the garage, pressed firmly on the brake, hit the start and got the picture of the car in the IC. Second press turned it on.

 

Ken: I have noticed the start button is a bit “touchy” are you using a firm single press? Because the Jaguar logo will come up when the car ”wakes up” even before the start events happen.

 

Yup. Just went back to the car and I think that was the issue, not hitting the start button firmly and long enough.

I shall now hang my head In shame.

 

If you foot is on the break, one press starts the car. How do you know it is not? Did you press D or R then try to drive before the second press of the start button?

I do have a question. When I first get into the car and put my foot on the break, most time the break pedal is very stiff and only after press the start button then my foot can apply the pressure to press the break pedal down. But other time I can apply the break normally before pressing the start button. Did you all have the same experience? Is this normal and why? Thanks.

Yes, mine does that too, but I think all cars I’ve owned behave like that.

In my case the car was definitely not on, I tried shifting. But it was OE (operator error).

 

Dear WUXYJJ, mine does the exact same think ponctually. No clue why. It is like a residual pressure on the brake system that disappear when the car is started and the brake system get into function.

 

Press the break and firmly press the start button, you will hear a different chime .
Its best for the infotainment to fully boot before moving, especially reversing.
A way to help it boot faster is to unlock with the key instead of pressing the button on the handle. It is also said that opening the passenger door first will help the boot time.

You have the 360 camera option so booting fully is essential.
If you turn on the car and just reverse, you wont get the full 360 camera function.


This is reverse without proper boot up

This is reverse with proper boot up

PS If you notice the Start button is pulsing like a heart beat before you turn on the car

I have 360 camera, but when I put into R...I get the main pic on the left with the yellow lines, I get the pic on the far right, but I have never gotten the top view.

 

I used to have the car not getting into Drive mode after pushing the Start button with foot on brake issue, but ever since I changed my behavior slightly and don't lift my foot off the brake till I see the car in D after pressing the button firmly I have had no issues.

 

I remember years ago when Jaguar introduced the Heart Beat Start button. They actually had a TV commercial. Gimmicky but cool. Even more gimmicky...our Audi R8 has an actual heartbeat sound/tone piped in the car. Silly, but fun!

 

Ken, it happens to me too. Sometimes 1 push of the start button turns everything on and puts the car in Ready state, and other times it just turns on the screen and I have to push the start button a second time. None of this has anything to do with how soon after that you push Drive or Reverse since this is all before you do that. I always have my foot on the brake when pressing Start so it's not that either. The only thing it could be is how long I keep the Start button pressed down. I will try that when I get back to driving more and see if that eliminates the issue for me.

 

That’s what I’ve found. You need to firmly hit the start button and hold it just a bit longer than you think is necessary. Since I’ve done that I’m batting 1000.

 

PS702....THANK YOU. I keep saying this over and over again! This Forum (and you) ROCK!!!!!!!!

 

You're welcome. The menu system is not intuitive at all.
You have to click on category, then click on that menu.
You can't find everyein the general or main menus.
It's really silly

 

I still am encountering instances where 2 presses of the start are necessary to get into a drive mode. It seems to occur when it's really hard to initially press the brake pedal very far. Not a biggie and I certainly wouldn't take it in for that, but there does seem to be a correlation between how hard it is to press the brake when you're first starting and whether you need to hit the start a second time.

 

You shouldn't have to press hard on the brake. Just press on it normally. Keep foot on brake and press the start button and then the gear selection and then take foot off brake and go (safely).

 

Ken,

Is the hard brake pedal preventing the brake pedal switch operating?

Is your car parked in a position so that you can see a reflection of your brake lights activating as you press the Start button?

Cheers, Steve

 

Steve, that's a great point! The next time I get that firm brake pedal, I'll look at my garage door to see if there's a reflection. I should have thought of that.

 

Also maybe your start button is a little wonky?

 

Espirali, I don't think it's that. It feels perfectly normal and always responds to a press with either the accessory or start mode. The one consistency is the brake pedal and if it depresses firmly or not. A brake that's very hard to press when I first get in and press the start button will always result in the accessory mode. A press of the brake that feels more normal will always result in a normal start.

 

I get the 'hard pedal' every so often, and I've definitely had to second-press sometimes. Next time I will pay attention as to whether the hard pedal press goes into accessory mode and requires a second press.

 

I got hard pedal all the time but I do not recall I ever needed a second press to start the car.

 

We have a new Jaguar affliction, ‘Hard Pedal Syndrome’ (HPS).

 

The stiff vs. soft brake pedal is likely due to the way the brake booster works. In the i-pace it's an electronic servo as opposed to the vacuum system on a typical ICE. I would guess that as with everything else in this car it needs to be initialized and "boot up" when the car is started. If I had to guess I would say it's probably set to come online when the door is opened, like the instrument panel screens. Depending on how "asleep" the car is, etc. it may take longer for the servo to wake up some days vs. others, so you get a hard pedal if you press the brake before the servo is fully online.

 

kkemp, that makes sense and explains why some of us get this intermittent behavior.

 

Brake.

 

I paid attention and tried this. Put foot on brake pedal and it was "hard". Pressed start button fully, not just a light touch. Brake pedal went "soft" and sunk towards the floor. Keeping foot on the pedal, I pressed a gear selection and the car went into gear, the instrument panel went to full display mode, took foot off the brake pedal and away I drove.

 

Typically, Tesla aside, any car I've owned you get in, put your foot on the break, and press 'start' to start the car and then drive away. It seems on the I-Pace the first push of the start button only brings up a screen of the vehicle in the IC with the drive system not yet active. The second push of the start button with your foot on the brake does start the car.

So is the correct, or did I fail the 'I-Pace 101' course and am doing something really dumb?

Sadly, I think the latter case is true. If you just put your for on the brake when you push start, you are good to go. You only have to push the button twice if you either didn't push the brake in the first place or didn't push it hard enough (I have noticed it does require enough pressure to hold the car in place, a light tap isn't enough).
