Hello everyone! I recieved the following message on my screen to my dismay. Of course I thought one of those electrical gremlins has reached out to me and said "hello"! My "Stella" is a DD sssoooo I'm a little confused? The car was running at the time!need some advice, thanks in advance.

 

It's a default message that will come on anytime you are using an accessory for specific period of time with the car's engine off. It has nothing to do with the battery being low. Actually, your car's battery can be holding a 95% charge and this idiotic message may still come on. It's a stupid design.

 

...but the OP states that "the car was running at the time!"

If that 2010 is still on its original battery, I'd say it's replacement time.

If it was running at the time... that's kinda weird. The only times I've had that message come on was when we were at a drive-in movie once, and one time when I hadn't driven the car or had it on the charger for a couple weeks.

 

Thanks Rich, dealer replaced the battery august 2014. So I guess its just one of those goofing jaguar gremlins..............

 

There is no such thing as a "goofy Jaguar Gremlin"
This is merely a software update free at the dealership. This is a known issue and there is a TSB on the topic

Issue: 1
Date: 23 NOV 2010

SECTION: 418

Battery Discharged





AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:

CONDITION SUMMARY:

Situation:
The vehicle battery may become discharged if the vehicle is left standing overnight or longer. This may be due to a MOST bus issue causing a 1.6Amp drain when the Infotainment Control Module (ICM) is shut down.

NOTE:
This software update should be carried out on any customer complaint of a discharged battery. The cause of the discharged battery must be investigated as per normal processes; any other faults found must be claimed as a separate claim.

Action:
In the event of a customer concern of the above, refer to the Repair Procedure outlined below to update the ICM software.

PARTS:

 

My Jag dealer said I should lock the doors when the car is not in use so it can go to "sleep". I have been doing this for about two months now with no messages at all.
