# JAGUAR F-PACE – COMPLETE PROTECTION & ACCESSORIES GUIDE

The Jaguar F-PACE represents the perfect blend of British luxury and sports car performance in an SUV package. As Jaguar’s first-ever SUV, it combines iconic design with everyday practicality. At **Protint**, we provide bespoke protection solutions worthy of your F-PACE.

> **⚠️ CRITICAL ADAS WARNING**: The F-PACE is equipped with an extensive ADAS suite, including **Automatic Emergency Braking** (front and rear), **Blind Spot Monitoring**, **Surround View Camera**, **Lane Keeping Assist**, and **Rear Cross Traffic Alert** . These systems rely on a network of sensors located behind the windscreen, front grille, side mirrors, and rear bumper. **DO NOT TINT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD**—any film will blind the front camera and disable life-saving safety features .

## 1. ⚖️ SUN FILM LEGALITY – What F-PACE Owners Must Know (2026)

The Supreme Court has strictly banned aftermarket sun films on all vehicles, regardless of VLT percentage. However, there is a critical exception: **'the manufacturer of the vehicle may manufacture the vehicle with tinted glasses'** . Your imported Jaguar F-PACE, with factory-fitted glass, is fully legal—**do not remove it**. Aftermarket tints remain illegal and carry a high challan risk.

### Legal Requirements (Motor Vehicle Act)

| Window | Minimum VLT Required |
|:---|:---|
| **Front & Rear Windscreen** | **70%** |
| **Side Windows** | **50%** |

### Your Legal Sun Protection Options

| Solution | Legality | Use Case | Recommendation |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Factory Jaguar Glass** | ✅ **Fully Legal** | Driving | As equipped – DO NOT remove |
| **Magnetic Sun Shades** | ✅ **100% Legal (Parked Only)** | Parked UV protection | **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED** – remove while driving |
| **Aftermarket Tinted Films** | ❌ **Illegal** | Not permitted | **NOT RECOMMENDED** – Challan risk + sensor interference |

**Parliamentary Context (2026)**: There is a push to amend the CMV Act to permit sun control films with VLT restrictions, but **no amendment has been passed**. The Supreme Court ban remains the law.

## 2. ⚠️ CRITICAL: F-PACE ADAS SENSOR SUITE

The F-PACE is equipped with a comprehensive suite of sensors that power its driver assistance systems . **These sensors must remain unobstructed** for your safety systems to function correctly.

### Complete Sensor Location Guide

Based on Jaguar F-PACE specifications and automotive sensor standards :

| Sensor Type | Location | Function | Protection Rule |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Front Camera** | Behind the windscreen | Lane Keep Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, Pre-Collision Warning, Automatic High Beams | **🚫 NO FILM ON WINDSHIELD** |
| **Front Radar** | Behind the front grille | Automatic Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control | **✂️ Precision cutout required** |
| **Front Parking Sensors (6)** | Front bumper | Obstacle detection for parking | **✂️ Precision cutouts required** |
| **Rear Parking Sensors (6)** | Rear bumper | Obstacle detection for parking | **✂️ Precision cutouts required** |
| **Surround View Cameras (4)** | Front grille, side mirrors, rear | 360° camera system | **🚫 NO PPF ON LENSES** |
| **Blind Spot Sensors** | Rear bumper corners | Blind Spot Monitoring | **✂️ Precision cutouts required** |
| **Rear Cross Traffic Sensors** | Rear bumper corners | Rear Cross Traffic Alert | **✂️ Precision cutouts required** |

### ADAS Features Powered by These Sensors

The F-PACE features a comprehensive suite of driver assistance systems, including :

- **Automatic Emergency Braking (front and rear)** – Uses front camera + front radar + rear sensors
- **Blind Spot Monitoring** – Uses rear corner radar sensors
- **Surround View Camera System** – Uses 4 cameras
- **Lane Keeping Assist** – Uses front camera
- **Rear Cross Traffic Alert** – Uses rear corner radar sensors
- **Driver Attention Alert** – Uses front camera
- **Traffic Sign Recognition** – Uses front camera
- **Pre-Collision Warning System** – Uses front camera + front radar
- **Parking Sensors** – Uses 6 front + 6 rear ultrasonic sensors

### ⚠️ CRITICAL INSTALLATION RULES

1. **DO NOT TINT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD**: The camera behind the windscreen powers Lane Keeping Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Pre-Collision Warning. Tinting disables these features.

2. **PRECISION CUTOUT FOR FRONT RADAR**: When applying PPF to the front bumper, the installer must make a precision cutout for the radar sensor behind the grille.

3. **NO PPF ON CAMERA LENSES**: The Surround View Camera System uses 4 cameras (front grille, side mirrors, rear). All lenses must remain unobstructed .

4. **PRECISION CUTOUTS FOR PARKING SENSORS**: The F-PACE has **6 sensors in the front bumper and 6 in the rear bumper** . Each requires a precision cutout. Maximum paint thickness for repainted sensors is 6 mil, with 1 coat of base and 1 coat of clear .

5. **PRECISION CUTOUTS FOR BLIND SPOT & CROSS TRAFFIC SENSORS**: Located in rear bumper corners.

6. **USE NON-METALLIC FILMS ONLY**: Metallic films can interfere with radar signals.

**If Your F-PACE Has Been in an Accident**: Have an authorised Jaguar dealer verify sensor alignment. A misaligned sensor can result in ADAS systems not operating to specification.
