Fluid level checks
171
If the message LOW COOLANT LEVEL is
displayed in the message centre, stop the
vehicle as soon as safe ty permits and top-up
the coolant reservoir with the recommended
antifreeze/water mix.
If the message centre displays the message
ENGINE OVERHEATING, pull off the
carriageway and allow the e ngine to idle for five
minutes and then switch off the ignition for ten
minutes. Switch on the engine and, provided
that the warning does not occur, continue your
journey, avoiding hars h acceleration. Seek
qualified assistance as soon as possible.
TOPPING UP THE COOLANT
Never remove the filler cap when the
engine is hot.
Antifreeze is highly inflammable. Do
not allow antifreeze to come into
contact with naked flames or other
sources of ignition (e.g. a hot engine)
- a fire may result.
Unscrew the filler cap slowly,
allowing the pressure to escape
before removing completely.
When travelling in territories where the
water supply contains salt, always
ensure you carry a supply of fresh (rain
or distilled) water. Topping up with salt
water will cause serious engine
damage.
Top-up to the upper le vel indicator mark
located on the side of the expansion tank. Use
only a 50% mix of water and antifreeze to
specification WSS M97B44 (coloured orange)
Extended Life Coolant.
Ensure the cap is tightened fully after top-up is
completed by turning the cap until the ratchet
cap clicks. Note:
In an emergency, if the approved
antifreeze is unavailable, top-up the system
with clean water, but be aware of the resultant
reduction in frost protection. Do not top-up or
refill with conventional an tifreeze formulations.
If in doubt consult a qualified technician.
BRAKE FLUID CHECK
Seek qualified assistance
immediately if brak e pedal travel is
unusually long, unusua lly short or if
there is any signific ant loss of brake
fluid. Driving under such conditions
could result in extended stopping
distances or complete brake failure.
Note: If the warning lamp illuminates or the
message is displayed while the vehicle is being
driven, stop the vehicle as soon as safety
permits by gently appl ying the brakes. Check
and top-up the fluid level if necessary.
Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep
containers sealed and out of the reach
of children. If accidental consumption
is suspected, seek medical attention
immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, rins e immediately with
plenty of water.
Brake fluid is highly inflammable. Do
not allow brake fluid to come into
contact with naked flames or other
sources of ignition (e.g. a hot engine).
If the quantity of fluid in the brake
reservoir drops below the
recommended level, a red warning
lamp in the inst rument panel will
illuminate and the message Brake
Fluid Low will be displayed in the
message centre.

Fluid level checks
172
Do not drive the vehi cle with the fluid
level below the MIN mark.
With the vehicle on level ground, check the
fluid level at least every week (more frequently
in high mileage or arduous operating
conditions).
The brake fluid reservoi r is located beneath a
cover on the raised platform to the rear of the
main underbonnet area.
1. Release the catch and lift the cover
forwards.
2. Pull the cover rearwards, to release the
hinges.
3. Clean the filler cap with a clean, dry cloth
before removing, to prevent dirt or
moisture from entering the reservoir.
4. Remove the filler cap.
5. The brake fluid level should be between the
MIN and the MAX marks on the side of the
reservoir.
The fluid level may drop slightly during normal
use, as a result of brake pad wear, but should
not be allowed to drop below the MIN mark.TOPPING UP THE BRAKE FLUID
Brake fluid will damage painted
surfaces. Soak up any spillage with an
absorbent cloth immediately and wash
the area with a mixture of car shampoo
and water.
Only use new fluid from an airtight
container (fluid from open containers or
fluid previously bled from the system,
will have absorbed moisture, which will
adversely affect performance, and must
not be used).
Top up the brake fluid with Shell DOT
ESL brake fluid. If unavailable, use a
low viscosity brake fluid that meets ISO
4925 class 6 specificat ion. Only fluid of
this type and standard may be used.
Do not top up the brake fluid to the
maximum mark unless the brake pads
have been replaced. If unsure, seek
qualified assistance.
1. Top up the reservoir to at least the
minimum mark.
2. Replace the reservoir cap.
3. Refit the reservoir cover.

POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK
Power steering fluid is highly toxic.
Keep containers sealed and out of
reach of children. If accidental
consumption of fluid is suspected,
seek medical atte ntion immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.
Power steering fluid is highly
inflammable. Do not allow power
steering fluid to come into contact
with naked flames or other sources of
ignition (e.g. a hot engine).
The engine must not be started if the
fluid level has dropped below the MIN
mark.
Seek qualified assistance immediately if
there is a noticeable drop in the fluid
level.
If fluid loss is slow, the reservoir may
be topped-up to the upper level mark to
enable the vehicle to be driven to a
repair facility for examination. However,
it is recommended that you seek
qualified assistance before driving the
vehicle.
Check and top-up the flui d with the vehicle on
level ground, with the e ngine switched off and
the system cold. Ensure that the steering wheel
is not turned after stopping the engine.
The level of fluid can be seen through the
translucent body of the reservoir.
The fluid level should be between the MIN and
the MAX marks.
TOPPING UP THE POWER STEERING
FLUID
It is imperative that the power steering
system does not become contaminated
in any way. Always use new fluid and
clean the area around the filler neck
both before removing the filler cap and
after topping up. Never return drained
fluid to the system.
Power steering fluid will damage
painted surfaces. Soak up any spillage
with an absorbent cloth immediately
and wash the area with a mixture of car
shampoo and water.
1. Clean the filler cap before removing to
prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.
2. Remove filler cap.
3. Using Mobil ATF320 PAS fluid, top-up the
reservoir until the fluid level is between the
MIN and MAX marks.
4. Replace filler cap.

CHECKING THE WASHER FLUID
Do not allow screen washer fluid to
come into contact with naked flames
or sources of ignition.
If the vehicle is operated in
temperatures below 4°C (40°F), use a
washer fluid with frost protection.
Only use approved washer fluid.
Take care to avoid spillage, particularly
if an undiluted or high concentration is
being used. If spillage occurs, wash the
affected area immediately with water.
The washer reservoir supplies the windscreen
and headlamp washer jets.
Check and top-up the reservoir level at least
every week.
Fill with Jaguar Windscreen Washer Fluid,
diluted with clean water, as specified in the
instructions on the bottle. Using a
non-approved fluid may adversely affect the
wiper blade rubber, result ing in ineffectual and
noisy wiping.
Operate the washers periodically to check that
the nozzles are clear and properly directed.
TOPPING UP THE WASHER FLUID
1. Clean the filler cap before opening to
prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.
2. Open filler cap.
3. Top-up the reservoir until the fluid is visible
in the filler neck.
4. Close filler cap.
