- Jaguar F Type Hidden Features That Leave Me In Awe
I share some Jaguar F Type Hidden Features and Facts that some people know and others do not. We discuss security, convenience, windows, fobs, exhaust sounds, design and style and much more.
Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to Mark Holubetz the VLOG.
Have an awesome century and catch you on the next one.
Another one: three driver memory is more than most need, so I set the #3 button to help get in and out - seat all the way back, seat higher, steering wheel full forward and full up.
Sweet, great tip and never really thought about that. That can certainly help save the seat bolsters by giving yourself room to get in.
I did exactly the same! Great tip!
Haha I do the exact same thing 😄👍
Great info. This car has never been on my radar but had one come through my shop for ceramic coating a few weeks ago and now I'm obsessed. Appreciate the vids and the informational comments.
Thanks for watching and supporting. Yes, that is sort of the way these cars are and they have staying power too as far as I am concerned. Have an awesome day.
Another one to keep in mind is the transmission release pull cord, next to the driver, inside the middle storage bin. Useful for safe towing.
I will look, same for the early and later models?
@@markholubetz
I think its all the same. The pull cord is hidden under the rectangular cover. czcams.com/video/_vqJpYd717c/video.html .
I'm glad that you explained that global close is disabled in some markets. I'm in the US & it was frustrating me to no end that I couldn't get it to work.
You suit your Jag Mark!
Thanks for doing this video.
Thanks David, I really appreciate that. I feel at home in the Jag and in a way I never quite did on the Gallardo.
Another great video, Mark. Many thanks.
Many thanks! Its always enjoyable to share the F Type, fun car and probably the best I have ever owned.
@@markholubetz I can fully appreciate that. I loved the way your daughter/s photo-bombed your video. Made it even more fun.
haha true, they are a couple of little jokers and surprised me too, thats what makes it fun for sure
Another under the radar feature, great for chilly days in the convertible is the heated steering wheel. Not all Fs have it, but its pretty common option and easy to forget.
I also have the heated steering wheel on my coupe and love it. We get a lot of very cold weather here and when driving in the fall and winter it sure is a nice feature.
Wonderful brief overview of such a magnificent car! All kinds of neat little tricks. Worth looking at prices for one of these!
For sure Thomas, I found these cars fun at every angle and thats part of the charm. While some competitors are dropping in knick knack gadgety electrics to dazzle at a superficial level, this car has significance from Exoticcar performance, style and charm in the exterior design, fun party tricks like the reverse hood,, rising dash vents, and dynamic exhaust played through the exhaust and not the speakers as some modern day bimmers. This and the 911 are a couple of the nicest options out there for a tad over 6 figures.
I love the passenger ejection seat! Great for driving the mother-in-law around! :)
Haha
Some good points there Mark, the only gripe I have really on the convertible is that there is no roof up/down on the key fob something I think you get as standard over there..
Still waiting on what your up to regarding the bits your waiting for.
Thanks Dave, yes those automation features seem to be variable and while I also like the coupe for the lines, the convertible is the way to go for maximum driving experience with the wind in the hair and full sound effects. I know it’s a bit frustrating waiting for parts but I have also heard another CZcamsr who runs a part store that things are taking months to get in some cases with this silliness that is goi g on right now. Thanks again, have an awesome week and stay tuned on the next updates.
Thanks for make these videos. very informative. I first F-Type is being delivered next Weekend. Its going to be a long week for me.
Great choice Greg, the F Type is Ana amazing car, you will love it. Which configuration did you pick up?
Hi Greg!
You've done a great job!
The F-TYPE is a great, emotionally car...
What model?
Mark made a lot of interesting and useful videos...
Best regards from Italy 👋
Thank you so much and hi back from Canada. Alessandro, which configuration do you have?
@@markholubetz
Good afternoon Mark. I've a 3.0 V6 AWD S 380 hp F-TYPE.
I do love this car!
It's a full optional coupe, British Racing Green outside and "brogue " inside, with fantastic carbon ceramic yellow caliper breaks!
I've bought in 2015 and waited for six months...
I do love the Ian Callum's design, the incredible sound and the English trademark! Even if I live in Italy, the home of sport cars...
I would like to buy the 5.0, but the taxes to be paid every year are just excessive!!!
Best regards and thanks for all the videos!
Very well delivered on this video and your car is a beauty. What kind of wheels are those?
Thanks for watching. These wheels are the factory upgraded carbon fibre blade wheels - 20 inch.
Can’t wait picking mine up today 😁
What sort of spec? Congrats you will love it I am sure.
@@markholubetz just brought it back home!
Got an Australian spec V6 S grey and so far it is the best car I’ve owned!
Hi Mark
Nice key fob 👍
Cheers
Bruce and Sandra
Lol, you bet it spruces things up for sure. Thanks again and hope all is well over there. Cheers.
Thx...i still dont know how to work my car..so this will help
Which kind d of car do you own?
6:44 in the US market that spoiler button doesn't work while driving. Outside the US or at least everywhere in Europe you can raise the spoiler whenever you want to. So you are correct.
Can software be adjusted to control wing at any speed? Seems stupid that it is only speed controlled...
@@Gatnor I am sure it can but I haven’t looked it up because I haven’t had interest in doing so.
Mark , youdaman , awaiting patiently to see what goodies are coming for the Jag. BTW , the manual calls for 0W 20 synthetic professional oil , we don't have Professional oil here in Ontario, at least non that I found . Will 0W20 Synthetic Castrol premium brand work ?
Cool, thanks, I will have to follow up there Chris as I have not yet had to do any changes myself. Sometime the suppliers change the name for marketing reasons so it may be worth checking. Likely being a gas engine and the same weight and synthetic, I would generally say not an issue, but I know its important for Diesel engines to have the right ingredients due to heavy soot.
Handy video summary MArk,
Apparently if you don't let them know (not to) the dealers in North America, when doing a service may do a firmware update - which removes a lot of the snap, crackle and pop.
re: the Rear spoiler the reason it will only manually move when the engine is off - is a maintenance mode to allow you to clean under the spoiler on the trunk lid area.
Thanks Brian, yes I certainly have heard of that and I always chat with the service people, not that they are always with the program, but its something always to be aware of. Funny thing is the dealer has been chasing me to buy a new F Type bu the service side was supposed to get back to me about a replacement windshield, and I have not heard ack in a month. Strange.
@@markholubetz They're waiting for your new order dont just want to give you a windshield - they want to give you a whole car 😁
It took me 3 years to realize my 2016 F Type has a CD/DVD/MP3 player hidden in the console taking up no space at all (factory). I know most people don't use CDs at this point, but still impressive and you can watch movies when the car is stationary
Haha, I don’t believe my 2018 has a player but I wish it did cause I have quite the collection which are now obsolete.
@@markholubetz They put them in through 2018, so it might be there? Rear of the center console, just under the lid there is a button and a slot. Easy to miss
I think the passenger side reverse dip mirror is fabulous.
Common feature in modern cars
Hey Mark where might I find that exact rear lower diffuser with the red trim like yours?
Hi, that is actually a vinyl trim that I applied to the factory valence and splitter. A couple of hours on the driveway, a few handy tools and vinyl and good to go.
@@markholubetz can you point to any instructions to do this ? It really sets the colours off nicely
Nice red key fob!
One great trick on two battery cars is to disconnect the small battery's ground wire and zip tie it stowed. Now eco start/stop defaults to off 5 secs after engine start.
Haha. Another way to trick the silly electronics on these cars.
Does this trick affect anything else? Hard to think that Jaguar would install a battery just for this function? So what else does it disable / erase from some modules memory?
@@Gadne92.5
It’s better to pull the secondary battery out completely. It just disables start/stop.
Thinking about making the Jaguar jump. Would the F-Type make a good daily driver? Considering a used 2019 with the supercharged V6. Would go V8, but a little pricey for me. A little worried from one of your other videos about the water leaking in the car. Did you find a remedy for that?
Hi, I think these cars make great daily drivers except for pricey parts like tires and brakes. Odd strange failures but the Awd and the right tires mean it can be versatile. The leak? I have not done anything with it big have not noticed it much lately so who knows. Some of the woes come from relatively low production numbers but the other side of that coin is you do not see many around making them more unique.
@@markholubetz I completely understand about the maintenance woes. I had a 335i Hardtop Convertible for some years, and I loved the car, but every time I was turning around something was breaking lol. I guess that’s the price you pay for “passion.” Lol
I have F type convertible and there are only two ambient light colors there. Light blue and red that come on.
Can I switch it to more colors ?
I will have to check but in my car there are a couple areas that seem to stay light blue while other areas are switchable. Seems a bit odd
Hi Mark, great video, thank you!
Sorry for your neighbours: they should buy a Jag to understand how emotionally is to start it!!!
😁😁😁
I've a question for you: at the minute 3.58 I noticed something under the F-TYPE exhausts, on the floor... What is it?
Thanks a lot and have a nice day.
Alessandro
Hi, thanks for reaching out supporting. Under the car I have a sheet of Teflon to monitor fluids on the ground which I Mai lay used for the Lamborghini that I just sold that parked there but if you see there are a couple of black spots under the car and that is the condensation with carbon that drips out of the exhaust, which some folks describe. It’s not diff oil as it’s always a watery texture.
@@markholubetz thanks Mark. I do the same especially since I had condensation problems that rusted the exhaust terminal, then replaced under warranty (!) by the Jaguar workshop that has been taking care of my F-TYPE since 2015...
How do I turn back on the jaguar light highlighting the red Jaguar foot door light pleasse
Not too sure as I do not believe my car has that feature
I'm in the market for an F-Type in Canada. Do you still have yours? I'm thinking 2018-2019.. Enjoying you videos!
Good morning, great choice on the F Type. Yes I still drive mine and love this car even after 4 years it still feels like a honeymoon. Which setup are you looking at? Coupe or Convertible?
@@markholubetz Coupe. I was thinking SVR but am good with an R as well.. Thoughts?
Screen saver for touchscreen love clock but also the car image … btw the rear wing works in Europe whilst driving under the speed automation function
Thanks for sharing. I know there are a few features unique to different markets. Wish things were consistent.
Wing works when I drive 🤣 Canada are holding you guys back
Nice. Thanks for sharing
What about Dynamic start? Best feature on my 2017 S
Thats a wonderful thing. The sounds of these cars is amazing.
I don't think the valves ever fully open in active. You have to pull Fuse 43 under the passengers feet to open them fully, as it removes the feature and the valves "fail" full open. Its maybe another 15% louder without the fuse.
Nice touch and great tip. Thanks that’s a good one for the books. I will check that out.
Man that car looks Hella good 👍. Now tell me do I need to get rid of the mustang. I just need to know I'm looking at a 2015 s do the looks like it holds up a few years.
Well that depends what kind of Mustang. If you have a Shelby GT350 or 500 you may be Ok for now but anything less and yes the F Tupe is the one to own.
The daughter walking through was hilarious
Little jokers
I ordered the Blackout package to replace the chrome. I ended up with the 2019 F-type. I can't stop turning around to look at it. The sound is intoxicating. Thanks for all your recommendations.
I think that is a great add on to the car. Love the shiny gloss black everywhere
Is the blackout PKG easy to find online?
@MOTOPILOT6 I ordered it from the Dealership.
@6:00 - I live in the US. My wing (2014 V8 Convertible) can be deployed at any speed - even from idle.
Hi Mark, in Australia global close is disabled using the key but if you stand at the vehicle and hold the lock button on the car it does let you global close that way
Nice, it’s that comfort touch that is a nice feature on this.
How often do you have your car aligned? Do you ever feel like you your steering wheel not straight?
It’s perfect so In other words, no.
@@markholubetz no way. u never get ur wheel aligned? Maybe the dealer did it when u get oil change. How much air u put in each tire? In the setting, it shows recommendations speed of like 45 psi for front, 37 for the back?
Can u check and update me?
45 front 37 back for high speed/performance
Got my XE in 2020, F-Type is the goal after i increase my assets, can get one 2017 for 60k€ in Germany, im crazy about it.
Great choice and you will love it for sure. Have you had a chance to drive one yet? I know you will be sold.
@@markholubetz Nah never had the chance yet, haha, im sold already! But now im looking for an SUV a 2-Seater isnt the priority right now, what you think about the F-Pace SVR?
Does the moon roof open?
That wing button is for cleaning mode 😩 you can only use it to lean under the wing.
You bet pretty much.
What I would like to know is what Brits use the little mesh pocket between and behind the seats for. It is very hard to reach from the seat. Also, what are the elastic straps deep in the back of the trunk for? I am 5’8” but can barely reach them. Lastly, why on earth are the tow hooks reverse threaded?
Exactly, I would line to know.
Umbrella holder🙂
@@JOHNCASEY-tc7dq That’s what I figured but they are so deep I can’t reach them without actually climbing into the trunk!
A Jaguar branded card holder with a bunch of cards used whilst out or in the car.
@@jimc6486 Business cards? Playing cards? Pokémon?
Hey Mark what colour is your F Type exactly?
Hi I was actually in the process of filming a video spelling out all the features and options of my car. Stay tuned
@@markholubetz legend
Definitely DON'T go with Michelin 4Ss. They have been the worst tires on my F. Constant flats. Constant bead separation. Last night a front tread shredded on the road, I was really lucky I wasn't going fast. I had replaced both rear 4Ss when they both failed within a few days at around 10K miles. The Cup 2s I put on have been much better tires, but still not as hooked as I would like. With the F waiting on a tire shop to open, I think I'm going to go with R888Rs all around. That will mean going to 315s on the rear, which will look great but gear worse. Tire choices are limited for this beast of a drag racer.
Sounds like some great tire choices, but yes, that’s scary when a tire lets go. That’s happened to me as well in the past.
@@markholubetz
No such thing as Toyo R888Rs for the time being, they are on idenfinite national back order along with the 2021 shortage of everything.
I did find a set of R888Rs and they are far and away the best tires for my tuned RWD F-Type. So much better than Cup 2s and about the same price. They look great too.
Always get the road hazard warranty when buying expensive tires, it's a life saver on the wallet.
For sure, sounds like a must have especially if travelling further distances.
@@markholubetz typical warranty covers the repair if able to repair the tire, if not most cover a pro rated amount for the replacement of the tire. Always check the fine print in the warranty, but even pro rated amount for some expensive tires is well worth it.
I have a (UK) 2014 5.0L AWD 550ps convertible. If you lift the bonnet fully open and stand a short distance in front of the car you will see that it forms the 'jaguar' logo. btw my spoiler lifts up... I know that because I did it by mistake and thought the boot was open....
my wing activates at any sapeed manually in uk
Maybe a market specific thing because ours do not over here
Snaps and cracks and pops are made by dumping fuel fume into exhaust, which disintegrate the catalytic converters before 10 year 100k miles standard most cars have.
That could be true, but maybe a sport cat to replace may be the way to go and a tune to support.
@@markholubetz or something I just learned first hand. This is for US car owners. Under the Federal Emissions Warranty, all emissions related parts are covered for 2 years or 24,000 miles*, with the catalyt ic converter and engine control unit (the computer) covered for 8 years or 80,000 miles*. The Federal provisions cover light-duty vehicles up to 8,500 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). I just got my cat replaced free of charge on my 2015 F Type R with 54,000 miles. That was definitely a pleasant surprise and something I believe most car owners in the US are unaware of. It applies to all cars sold in the US undee 8500 lbs gw, and it doesn't matter if you're the first or 5th owner.
Umbrella holder 🙂
Where ? I known Rolls runs with them
@markholubetz the two loops at the top of boot ,it's an extra I think
LOL Some people failed ninja basic training!

thanks
My wing rises at 60mph
It would be great if it opened via switch at any soeed

engine off wing will come up for "cleaning pourposes only" ... or so i have been told 😬👍
At least on our market
The rear left tire has low tire pressure. So that’s how I transitioned to washing the car. And the …. JFC - everything so far has been boring stuff.
Thanks
“I’m not going to bore you with the every day stuff…”. Proceeds to tell us about steering wheels. Turn signals. Windshield. And some damn parts due to arrive. 😐
Thanks
@@markholubetz 😂 kill em with kindness Mark.
My god get on with it. In the uk we already know what your wining on about.
Haha
swho carfes about a 911
Well they are pretty cool cars
JUST TALKS TO MUCH!
