Touring
Foreign travel
Before planning foreign travel, check with
a motoring organisation to ensure that
your vehicle will comply with legal
requirements of the countries you intend
to visit.
International motoring organisations are
helpful for all aspects of long distance
touring advice.
In some countries it is a legal requirement
to carry spare vehicle bulbs.
First aid kit
A first aid kit is compulsory equipment in
certain countries. Your Jaguar Retailer
can supply a first aid kit.Petroleum spirit in containers
Some countries forbid the carrying of
petrol in containers, as do most ferry and
hovercraft operators.
Cellular radio telephones
Ask your motoring organisation about the
use of cellular radio telephones before
travelling abroad, as some countries
exercise controls on the importation and
use of such equipment.
Roof-rack
Only the Jaguar approved roof-rack
should be used.
The maximum load, including the weight
of the rack, must not exceed the load
rating indicated on th
e roof-rack bars and
must be deducted from the vehicle
maximum luggage load.
Loads on the roof-rack may affect vehicle
handling, especially in crosswinds or
when cornering. Jaguar warning triangle
A warning triangle to give traffic
advanced notice of a disabled vehicle is
compulsory in many countries.
A triangle, designed to international
standards is fitted as standard equipment
in certain countries. The warning triangle
with its stand legs folded flat, is mounted
on the inside of the luggage compartment
lid.
In an emergency, remove the triangle and
unfold its stand legs. Place the triangle in
the road in accordance with local traffic
regulations to give oncoming traffic
warning of an im
mobilised vehicle.
Hazard warning lights must be used with
the warning triangle.

Fuel capacity
Avoid the risk of running out of fuel and never intentionally
drive the car when the fuel gauge indicates that the tank is
empty. When refuelling your vehicle after the fuel gauge reads
empty, you may not be able to add the fuel quantity shown
below to the tank as there will be a small reserve remaining in
the tank.Fuel Economy
The following tips not only lead to greater fuel economy but also
reduce air pollution causing less environmental damage:
• Try to avoid using the car for short journeys – this will lead
to greater fuel economy and reduce wear on the engine.
• Plan ahead – choose uncongested routes, combine car trips and share cars where possible.
• Drive off as soon as possible after starting a cold engine – do not leave the engine idling until it has warmed up.
• Drive smoothly and efficiently – harsh acceleration and heavy braking have a significant effect on fuel
consumption – driving more smoothly saves fuel.
• Slow down – driving at high speeds significantly increases fuel consumption.
• Switch off – sitting stationary is zero miles per gallon, switch
off the engine when it is safe to do so.
• Unnecessary weight – do not carry unnecessary weight and remove roof-racks when not in use.
• Regular servicing keeps the engine at best efficiency.
• Ensure that tyres are inflated to the correct pressure for the journey.
• Use air conditioning and all vehicle electrical devices sparingly – all increase fuel consumption.
• Check your fuel consumption – it will help you get the most from your car and any significant change in consumption
may indicate a vehicle fault.
