Fuse 19 on 2013 XKR...big screw up from Jaguar
The Fuse box on the 2013 XKR is completely labelled wrong...I am trying to find the fuse for the Active Performance Exhaust and can't find it because the labeling between the user manual and the actual passenger compartment fusebox is wrong.
Anybody with a 2013 XKR, please help!
Thanks
Samy

yes the manual that came with the car and the manual on the jaguar website for the 2013 xkr...The fuse for the active performance exhaust is on the driver side fuse box as per the directions on the manual (not the rear seat fuse box).
This link will show you what I am talking about:Jaguar USA - OWNERS MANUALS
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It does look like a typo in the 2013 manual--good catch. I just checked the 2012 Owner's manual, which has the correct fuse box labels on those tables. You want fuse 19 in the rear seat fuse box.
F19 - 10A - Red - S/C active exhaust.
The other fuse 19 in the passenger compartment is for the RF receiver?

Yep, it's wrong
Just compared the MY13 manual with my MY11 manual - I believe they've goofed & swapped the titles for the fuse boxes. The one labelled "Passenger Compartment" is the rear seat one, and vice versa. So, the "Supercharged active exhaust" fuse is F19 in the rear-seat fusebox, same as it is on an MY11 car.

Only thing I've heard of is that the valve can get stuck through lack of use and carbon deposits building up - then, when you need to pass a noise test, you can't. I guess that problem isn't relevant to a lot of people (depends on your local regulations), but it's been mentioned as an issue in relation to the UK MOT test. If you have strict local noise emission regs, might pay to put the fuse back in from time to time, just to keep things in working order.

I am sure one of these would work just fine. Basically pulls out the fuse and puts in back in anytime via wireless remote.

From what I was told by my dealer, with Dynamic Mode enabled the exhaust opens up at 3000 RPM and is closed below the 3000 RPM. Pulling the fuse opens the exhaust all the time. I don't know, maybe he lied to me.

If they do get stuck, you can probably unstick them by manually working the valve levers, since they are exposed above the outside pipe.

However, Dynamic Mode also stiffens the dampers, sharpens the throttle response and makes other changes to 'toughen' the car for performance driving. Those things aren't always desirable for city driving, especially the suspension changes. So, pulling fuse 19 gives you the sound you want without the other effects.
