Health and Safety
!WARNING:
1. Many liquids and other substances used in vehicles are
poisonous and should never be
consumed and must be kept away
from open wounds.
These substances include anti-
freeze, brake fluid, fuel,
windscreen washer additives,
lubricants and various adhesives.
2. The presence of any unusual fumes (for example; petrol or
exhaust fumes) in the passenger
compartment and/or luggage
compartment should be corrected
immediately by a Jaguar Retailer.
If you must drive under these
conditions do so only with all
windows fully open.
3. By operating other electronic equipment (for example; a mobile
phone without an exterior
antenna) electro-magnetic fields
can cause malfunctions of the
vehicle electronics.
Therefore, you should observe the
instructions of the equipment
manufacturers. 4. Any modifications to the fuel
system not specifically designed
for this Jaguar are prohibited.
Such modifications in some
circumstances could result in a
fire. All service actions must be
entrusted to a Jaguar Retailer.
5. Alterations to the electrical system, including the fitting of
accessories not designed for this
Jaguar, will cause damage to the
electrical circuits and systems.
In some circumstances this could
result in a malfunction or fire.
All accessory work should be
entrusted to a Jaguar Retailer.
6. No attempt should be made to repair a fuse that has blown.
Always install a new fuse of the
correct amperage. Failure to
comply with the above may cause
a fire hazard or create serious
damage elsewhere in the
electrical circuit.
7. Avoid contact with battery acid which is poisonous and corrosive.
Acid will cause burns to the skin
as well as to the eyes. In the event
of skin or eye contamination,
wash the affected area with water
thoroughly. Seek immediate medical attention when eye
contact has occurred.
8. Do not disconnect any pipes in the air conditioning refrigeration
system. A refrigerant is used
which can cause blindness if
allowed to contact the eyes.
If refrigerant should contact the
eyes or skin, wash the eyes or
affected area with cold water for
several minutes. Do not rub.
As soon as possible thereafter,
obtain treatment from a doctor or
eye specialist.

Occupancy sensing
The front passenger seat is monitored by ultra-sonic sensors
(shown above) and a seat weight sensor to determine the
presence, weight and position of the front passenger. In certain
conditions, e.g. where no passenger is present, the appropriate
air bags will be deactivated. In a collision these air bags would
not be deployed. Note:
The occupancy sensing system is designed to confirm that
a front passenger is properly seated as recommended:
• Always sit centrally in the seat, remaining in contact with the seat back which for comfort should be rearwards of the
vertical position.
• Adjust the seat to be as far back from the fascia as practical.
• Always wear seatbelts.
The seat adjustment controls are described on page 3 - 3.
!WARNING:
It is important that the passenger position sensors
(see illustration) are not obscured in any way which could
affect air bag deployment, e.g. fitting non-approved
accessories.

Side protection
The side protection system utilizes
four air bags: Two mounted in the front
seats, and two curtain air bags located
just above the front and rear door
openings under the headlining trim.
When the seat mounted thorax air bag
inflates upon a vehicle side impact,
it breaks through the seat bolster
stitching, protecting the side of the rib
cage of the driver or front seat passenger.
When the curtain air bag inflates upon a
vehicle side impact, it breaks through the
headlining and de ploys downwards,
giving head protection to the front and
rear seat occupants on the impact side. The curtain air bag on the front passenger
side is always deployed in a side impact
even if the front passenger air bags are
deactivated. This is to maintain
protection for a
rear occupant.
Seat mounted thorax and curtain air bags
are designed to inflate in a side impact
collision, not rollover, rear-impact,
frontal or near-frontal collisions, unless
the collision causes sufficient lateral
deceleration.
The air bags, in combin ation with the seat
belts, can help reduce the risk of severe
injuries in the event of a significant side
impact collision.
!WARNING:
To ensure that the side air bags are
fully effective:
DO NOT sit too close to, lean or sleep
against the door trim. The side and
curtain air bags could injure you as
they deploy.
DO NOT lean out of the window.
Only use JAGUAR APPROVED
accessories (e.g. seat covers).
Due to the function of the CURTAIN
AIR BAG deployment, CONSULT your
Jaguar Retailer prior to installing any
ACCESSORIES in the upper
environment/pillar trim area
(e.g. HANDS-FREE TELEPHONE KITS).
