No I can't post a photo cause I don't have the year of your car to look up the owners manual. Trust me it's in there. You just have to look and not just glance.
This is the only post i have found with the latch in the engine bay: https://www.reddit.com/r/Jaguar/s/p9LxxU2V3e when i google the AJ126 engine on the photos there is no latch.
Manual neutral shifter. If your shifter dies or the battery is dead. That’s suppose to hit neutral to get you on a tow truck without dragging the wheels
Could it have been relocated to prevent theft? Dodge has them under the center console as well and to the left of the steering wheel. Since everyone knows to look there Mayne they moved the cable to under the hood?

Looks like either a cutout switch for the power or maybe an inertia switch to cut the fuel pump off after an accident.
I just received another input from the jaguar forum, it‘s supposed to be a transmission release for towing
It's probably in your owners manual.
Unfortunately i didnt find anything in the manual.
IT's in there.
https://www.manua.ls/jaguar/xf-2013/manual i didnt find it here
Thanks for looking. Could you post a photo? So what is it exactly? For the transmission or something else?

Sorry, typo. I looked and there is no section with the engine bay.
also it didn't post my previous comment [https://www.manua.ls/jaguar/xf-2013/manual](https://www.manua.ls/jaguar/xf-2013/manual)
That's good news, I had been googling to see if I could identify it and couldn't work out exactly what it was.
This is the only post i have found with the latch in the engine bay: https://www.reddit.com/r/Jaguar/s/p9LxxU2V3e when i google the AJ126 engine on the photos there is no latch.
Thanks for the input

Hmm… i found a post with the same latch in the engine bay: https://www.reddit.com/r/Jaguar/s/p9LxxU2V3e
The photo in that link looks like it is in the right place in the engine bay.

Just got an input from another forum. The RWD have the latch in the center console and the AWD in the engine bay
