O
ne locking wheel nut is fitted to each road wheel and can on
ly be removed by using the correctly coded socket. For road
wheels with exposed wheel nuts, each locking wheel nut is provided with a cover, which is removed using the cover removal
tool.
Locking wheel nuts have different coded keyway combinations with corresponding coded sockets. The correct socket, and
cover removal tool are supplied with the vehicle toolkit. Sets of sockets are available to Jaguar dealers.
Temporary Spare Wheel
•
NOTE: When using this type of spare wheel note that:
Speed

must not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
The normal ro

ad wheel must be reinstalled as soon as possible.
On

ly one temporary wheel may be installed to the vehicle.
Tracti

on control (where fitted
) must be switched OFF.
In certain markets, the spare wheel supplied with the vehicle is of the temporary-use type, it is narrower than the normal
road wheel and takes up less room in the luggage compartment.
Tire
s
The
radial ply tires shown in the 204-04
Specification Section are recommended by Jaguar to meet the high speed
performance of the vehicle. Only tires of identical specification may be fitted as replacements. Unde r no circumstances must
cross-ply tires be fitted.
Tire Inflation Pressures
Al
l recommended tires, including winter tire
s, must be inflated to the pressures shown in the 204-04 Specification Section.
Inflation pressures must only be checked when the tires are cold.
Tire Replac
ement and Wheel-Interchanging
W
hen renewal of tires is necessary, it is
preferable to fit a complete set. If two replacement tires are fitted (to one axle),
they must be of the same manufacturer and type as those on the other axle.
No attempt must be made to interchange wh eels from the front to the rear or vice-versa, as wear produc es a characteristic
pattern on each tire depending upon its po sition on the vehicle. If this position is changed after wear has occurred, the
performance of the tire w ill be adversely affected.
It should be remembered that new tires must be balanced befo re installing to the vehicle.
Win
ter Tires
•
NOTE: Speed must not exceed 210 km/h (131 mph) when winter tires are installed.
Jaguar recommended winter tires as specified in 204-04 Specification Section must only be fitted in complete four-wheel
sets of the same type and size.
Snow Chains and Spike Spider Traction System

Jagu
ar recommended snow chains, must on
ly be installed when using 16 inch wheels with 255/60 R16 winter tires.
• NOTE: When using snow chains or the spike spider traction system, note that:
Snow ch
ains and the spike spider
traction system must only be fitted to the rear wheels.
O
nly Jaguar recommended snow chains and spik
e spider traction system must be used.
The m
aximum permissible speed with winter tires and snow chains or the spike spider traction system fitted is 48
km/h (30 mph).
Tracti
on control (where fitted) must be
switched OFF when using snow chains or the spike spider traction system.

TE: Tire condition must comply with prevailing local legislation.
New tires must be installed if the wear in dicators are exposed or if there is severe shoulder wear. Shoulder wear is usually
caused by either excessive camber or toe on tires.
T i
re Vibration Diagnosis
A
tir
e vibration diagnostic procedure always
begins with a road test. The road test and the custom er interview (if available)
will provide much of the information need ed to find the source of vibration.
During the road test, drive the vehicle on a road that is smooth and free of undulations. If vibration is apparent, note and
record the following:
The s p
eed at which the vibration occurs.
W
h
at type of vibration occurs in each
speed range - mechanical or audible.
How the vibrati
on is affected
by changes in the following:
- -engine torque
- -vehicle speed
- -engine speed.
Type of v i
bration - sensitivity:
- - torque sensitive,
- - vehicle speed sensitive,
- - or engine speed sensitive.

The
following explanations will help isolate the source of vibration.
Torque Sensitive
This

means that the condition can be impr
oved or made worse by accelerating, dece lerating, coasting, maintaining a steady
vehicle speed, or applying engine torque.
Ve
hicle Speed Sensitive
This means th
at the vibration al
ways occurs at the same vehicle speed and is not affected by engine torque, engine speed
or gear selection.
Engine Speed Sensit
ive
This means th
at the vibration
occurs at varying vehicle spee ds when a different gear is selected. It can sometimes be
isolated by increasing or decreasing engine speed with the tran smission in neutral or by stall testing with the transmission in
gear. If the condition is engine speed sensitive, the cause is probably not related to tires.
If the road test indicates that there is tire wine, but no shake or vibration, the noise originates with the contact between th e
tire and the road surface.
A thumping noise usually means that the tire is flat or has soft spots making a noise as they slap the roadway. Tire whine
can be distinguished from axle no ise, as tire whine remains the same over a range of speeds.

Op
era
tion
Th
e
system selects the soft or
firm damper setting according to the current ro ad and driving conditions, to optimise vehicle
ride and handling.
With the vehicle stationary, the dampers are in the firm setting, but will normally switch to the soft setting when the vehicle
exceeds 8 km/h (5 mile/h); all dampers are switched simultaneously.
Sudden movement of the vehicle body, in response to road inputs, is detected by the vertical accelerometers, and the ADCM
switches the dampers to the firm setting to give improved damping of the resultant oscillations.
When cornering forces are detected by th e lateral accelerometer, the ADCM switches the dampers to the firm setting to
reduce the roll rate an d improve wheel control.
After the event has passed, the dampers revert to the soft setting.
When the footbrake is applied, the ADCM re ceives a signal and calculates the rate of vehicle deceleration. If the deceleration
rate is greater than a certain threshold, the dampers are switched to the firm setting to reduce the pitch rate and improve
wheel control.
If a system failure occurs, the ADCM grounds the output line to the instrument cluster message center, which displays a
text warning SUSPENSION FAULT and illuminates the amber warning lamp. Under fault conditions the system always fails to
the firm setting, so that the vehicle will be safe to drive un der all road and driving conditions.

Vehicle Dynamic Suspension - Vehicle Dynamic Suspension
Diagn
osis and Testing
Refer to the PDU User Guide for details of diagnosing and testing the Adaptive Damping System. The PDU interrogates the
ADCM directly via the K and L lines to the J1962 diagnostic socket.
The PDU will give an indication of the integrity of each electron ic and electrical component. It will indicate, for example, that
the accelerometers are not broken, but not that they functionin g correctly when the vehicle is in motion. However, it is
exceptional for an accelero meter to function incorrectly in its dynamic mode if it is proved to be functioning when static.
Basic Checks
The accele
rometers have the following ch
aracteristics. At 0g (no movement of the body) each vertical accelerometer
outputs approximately 2.5V steady voltage; the lateral acce lerometer outputs approximately 1.5V. The voltage output due
to body movement is proportional to acceleration in the acceleration axis, up to approximately 4.5V and down to
approximately 0.5V.
Before changing any component, refer to the circuit diagrams and check the cont inuity of relevant harness circuits; in some
instances, the PDU will not different iate between a faulty component an d a damaged connection or wiring.
Check the following fuses:
En
gine compartment fuse
box, fuse F5 (10A).
Engine m
anagement fuse
box, fuse F1 (20A).
Check the following ADCM input/output lines:
Sy stem erro
r output from the ADCM
to the instrument cluster.
Vehicl
e speed output from the inst
rument cluster to the ADCM.
Foo
tbrake signal to the ADCM.
Check any relevant connections to confirm that the connection is electrically sound and that a terminal pin has not been
pushed back into the connector shell, ie. not ma king a connection to its mating pin or socket.

Brake System - General Inform
ation - Brake System
D
iagnosis and Testing
Principles of Operations
The brake system operates by transferring effort applied to th e brake pedal, by the driver to the brakes at each wheel.
The braking effort is distributed to each wheel, using a hydraulic system. The system is assisted using a vacuum brake
booster that reduces pedal effort for a given hydraulic pressure. The parking brake operates on the rear wheels and is
applied using a hand operated control.
I
nspection and Verification
•
NOTE: Prior to carrying out any diagno
sis, make sure that the brake system warning indicator is functional.
Visually examine the front and rear tire and wheel assemblies for damage such as un even wear patterns, tread worn out or
sidewall damage. Verify the tires are th e same size, type and, where possible, same manufacture. Replace the damaged
wheel or excessively worn tire. For a dditional information, refer toSection 204

Road Test


V
isual Inspection Chart
Carr

y out a road test to compare actual vehicle braking performance with the
performance standards expected by the
driver. The ability of the test driver to make valid compar isons and detect performance deficiencies will depend on
experience.
The driver should have a thorough knowledge of brake system operation and accepted general performance guidelines to
make good comparisons and de tect performance concerns.
An experienced brake technician will always establish a route that will be used for all br ake diagnosis road tests. The roads
selected will be reasonably smooth and level. Gravel or bump y roads are not suitable because the surface does not allow the
tires to grip the road equally. Crowned roads should be avoide d because of the large amount of weight shifted to the low set
of wheels on this type of road. Once th e route is established and consistently used, the road surface variable can be
eliminated from the test results.
Before a road test, obtain a complete description of the customer concerns or suspec ted condition. From the description, the
technician's experience will allow the te chnician to match possible causes with symptoms. Certain components will be
tagged as possible suspects while others wi ll be eliminated by the evidence. More importantly, the customer description can
reveal unsafe conditions which should be ch ecked or corrected before the road test. The description will also help form the
basic approach to the road test by narrowing the concern to specific components, vehicle speed or conditions.
Begin the road test with a general brake performance check. Keeping the description of the concern in mind, test the brakes
at different vehicle speeds using both ligh t and heavy pedal pressure. To determine if the concern is in the front or rear
braking system, use the brake pe dal and then use the parking brake control. If the condition (pull, vibration, pulsation)
