Torque sp
ecifications are shown in maintenance procedure illustra
tions and also in the torque specifications chart located at
the front of the relevant section.
Disconnecting/Connecting the Battery
Ow ing t
o the electronic components used on the vehicle, it is important that the battery is disconnected when specified in a
maintenance procedure.
When the battery is connected, the specified procedure must be followed, to ensure the correct operation of all vehicle
systems; refer to Section 414-01.
Use of Control Modules
Control modu les may
only be used on the ve
hicle to which they were originally fitted. Do not attempt to use or test a control
module on any other vehicle.
Function
al Test
On
completion of a maintenance procedure, a thorough test should be carried out, to ensu
re that the relevant vehicle
systems are working correctly.
Protecting the Vehicle
Al ways
fit covers to protect
the fenders before commencing work in the engi ne compartment. Cover the seats and carpets,
wear clean overalls and wash hands or wear gloves before working inside the vehicle. Avoid spilling hydraulic fluid,
antifreeze or battery acid on the paintwork. In the event of spillage, wash off with water imme diately. Use polythene sheets
in the trunk to protect carpets. Always use the recommended service tool, or a satisfactory equivalent, where specified.
Protect temporarily exposed screw thread s by replacing nuts or fitting caps.
Preparation
Before disassembly, clean the surrounding ar ea
as thoroughly as possible. When co
mponents have been removed, blank off
any exposed openings using grease-proof paper and masking tape. Immediately seal fuel, oil and hydraulic lines when
separated, using plastic caps or plugs, to prevent loss of fluid and the entry of dirt. Close the open ends of oilways, exposed
by component removal, with tapered hardw ood plugs or readily visible plastic plugs. Immediately a component is removed,
place it in a suitable container; use a se parate container for each component and its associated pa rts. Before dismantling a
component, clean it thoroughly with a recommended cleaning agent; check that the agent will not damage any of the
materials within the component. Clean the bench and obtain ma rking materials, labels, containers and locking wire before
dismantling a component.
Dismantling
O b
serve scrupulous cleanliness when dismantling components,
particularly when parts of the brake, fuel or hydraulic
systems are being worked on. A particle of dirt or a fragment of cloth could caus e a dangerous malfunction if trapped in
these systems. Clean all tapped holes, crev ices, oilways and fluid passages with compressed air. Do not permit compressed
air to enter an open wound. Always use ey e protection when using compressed air.
Ensure that any O-rings used for sealing are correctly refitted or renewed if disturbed. Mark mating parts to ensure that
they are replaced as dismantled. Whenever possible use markin g materials which avoid the possibilities of causing distortion
or the initiation of cracks, which could occur if a center pu nch or scriber were used. Wire together mating parts where
necessary to prevent accidental interchange (e.g roller bearing components). Tie labels on to all parts to be renewed and to
parts requiring further inspection before being passed fo r reassembly. Place labelled parts and other parts for rebuild in
separate containers. Do not disc ard a part which is due for renewal until it ha s been compared with the new part, to ensure
that the correct part has been obtained.

Body closures
Each front and rear door consists of a welded, mild steel inner frame and an outer panel. The outer panel is welded to the
waist rail and cheater of the inner frame, then bonded and clinched to fo rm the door assembly. Cosmetic PVC bead is
applied to all clinch joints. Sp onge rubber seals are mounted on the doors. Inte rnal insulation is provided by a foam water
shedder attached to the door by double-sided adhesive tape.
The door aperture B/C posts are reinforced over their full height to fully satisfy all forthcoming European and Federal side
impact legislation. The hood consists of one piece inner and outer panels clinched and bonded together, with cosmetic bead
PVC sealant applied to all clinch joints. Th e hood pivots at the front on two hinges each secured by bolts to the hood front
underside and the BIW front upper crossmem ber. Two gas struts secured to the hood by pivot pins and snap-on couplings,
support the hood in the open position. A full width insulating pad is secured by screws to the underside of the hood. A
sponge rubber tubular seal is mounted tran sversely towards the front of the hood underside. The trunk lid is of similar
construction to the hood, consisting of inner and outer pa nels clinched and bonded together and PVC bead sealed.
Incorporating a removable moulded liner and two trunk illuminati on lights, the trunk lid is supported when open, by two gas
struts, each secured to the inner wheel arch and trunk hinge by snap fittin gs. For some markets, a warning triangle is
attached to a bracket on the trunk lid underside and is retained in the open position by a rubber block.
Fascia
One-piece slush-moulded fascia on inject ion moulded armature and steel cross-rail reinforcement. Fascia support brackets
set with BIW to achieve close tolerance fit of fascia to bo dy eliminate necessity for adjustment following removal and
installation..
Fuel Filler Flap
The fuel filler comprising a hinged flap attached to the body decking panel by tw o nuts, incorporates a rubber buffer, snap-
in striker, hinge spring and fuel cap stowage magnet. The rubber fuel bowl moulding is attached via a steel armature to the
body reinforcement panel by five M5 nuts and is retained at the filler neck by a clip. The mating drain tube is fitted with an
internal filter. The fuel filler flap latch mechanism attached to the fuel bowl armatu re by two M5 nuts, includes a locking pin
and actuator which are both se rviceable items. The latch actuator operates independently from the central locking system;
it is driven directly by the se curity and locking control module. Locking of the fuel filler flap is achi eved only by operation of
the key or by the remote rf transmitter.
Seating
All front seats are equipped with electric height adjustment. In addition, both seats are available with manual or power
forward and rearward adjustment, manual or power operated headrest adjustment, 12 way electric adjustment, memory
controlled 12 way seat adjustment and integral seat heating. A side air bag module is installe d in the outboard squab wing
of each front seat. Each front seat has a non-handed, one-piece frame incorporatin g cushion and squab frames, side air bag
support bracket and seat adjuster mechanis ms. Seat switchpacks are installed on the outboard side of driver and passenger
seats and control modules are installed in the base of each seat . The standard rear seat is of fixed, bench type with full
width removable cushion. For certain mark ets, two individual rear seats are available as an option on long wheelbase
models. Both type s of rear seat are available with th ermostatically controlled heating of the cushion and sq uab. Individual
rear seats are electrically adjustable fo r squab re cline (via cushion fore and af t movement), head restraint height and
lumbar support. Separate motors provide ad justment of each seat cushion and head restraint and an electrically driven air
compressor provides variation of lumbar support. Seat adjustment is controlled via switches installed on a panel in an
extension to the centre console.Both the driver and front pass enger seat are secured to the vehicle floor at four points.
Interior Trim
The one-piece door casings are trimmed in UEV to match the seating, with wood veneer at the waistline and a carpet insert
at the front lower corner. Each casing is secured to the door inner panel by fir tree fastener s along the lower section, two
armrest fixings at the centre and veneer panel dowels and fixings at the top. The armrests which are common to front and
rear doors, are trimmed in matc hing leather or UEV according to specification. Switchpacks dedicated to driver and front or
rear passenger, are incorporated in the ar mrests. A speaker is installed in the lower section of each door and a tweeter is
incorporated behind each interior door handle escutcheon. where premium ICE is fitted, the front tweeters are installed in
the upper A posts. On each side, a graine d UEV finisher trimmed to match the head lining is secured to the 'A' post and
cantrail by fir tree fasteners locating in BIW apertures. Th e upper 'D' post finisher is trimmed and secured in the same
manner. The single piece'B' post finishers, also finished in grained matching UEV, each have a front seat belt exit aperture
and are secured to the BIW by four spring clips and two fir tree fasteners. The one-piece headlining consists of a 6mm thick
polyurethane foam membrane covered with suede effect knitted polyester. The headlining is secured to the BIW roof by
body tangs, the roof console, sun visors, combined grab handles and coat hooks, th e cantrail finishers and where fitted, the

sliding roof finisher and clips. Carpet covered trims line the trunk and are secured by fir tree fasteners to the sides and fro nt inner panel.
Rear View Mirrors
The.interior rear view mirror is an electrochromic unit that automatically da rkens to prevent glare from following vehicle
lights. This automatic function is selected by pressing the switch at the bottom of the mirror. Pressing the switch again
cancels this function. An LED then illuminates when automatic dipping is operative. The light sensing unit for the Night
Sentinel automatic lamp operating system is also incorporated in the mirror casing.
The door mirrors are cheater mounted, colo r-keyed units, remote electrically adjustable and heated. Adjustment of both
mirrors is carried out from the driver's door switchpack.A slider switch selects the mirror to be adjusted, and a disc switch
adjusts the selected mirror to the required position. Mirror ad justment can only be made when the ignition switch is in
position I or II or the driver's door is open, and the selector switch is moved from the central position. The door mirrors also
automatically darken under control of the electrochromic interior rear view mirror. Mirror heating elements operate on
selection of backlight heating.
Automatic dipping of passenger door mirror for kerb view when reversing, is fitted as part of the memory pack. With the
ignition switch in position II, the mirror selector switch in the left or right position and reverse gear selected, automatic
dipping is initiated by moving the mirror toggle switch rearwards and releasing. On receipt of the dip signal, the passenger
door mirror is driven downwards either 7 degrees, bottom of travel, or 4,5 to 5,5 seconds, whichever occurs first.
Subsequent rearward movement of the toggle switch achieves further dipping of the mirror in the same increments and
sequence. The mirror can be manu ally returned to the normal memorised positi on by moving the toggle switch forward with
reverse gear selected. The mirror will auto matically return to memorised position on deselection of reverse gear, or moving
ignition switch from position II.
Door mirror fold-back where fitted, to facilitate parking in conf ined spaces, can be initiated when the ignition switch is in
position I or II, the mirror selector switch is in the centra l position and vehicle speed is below 19 km/h (12 mph). Mirror
fold-back is then initiated by moving the toggle switch rear wards and releasing it. The door mirrors are returned to the
normal driving position by agai n moving toggle switch rearwards. There is no speed constraint on this operation. In the
event of a fold-back mirror becoming 'out of position' due to acci dental impact, it must only be re-positioned by initiating
the fold-back sequence.
Loss of power supplies will result in loss of mirror fold-back memory. In the event of such a memory loss with mirrors in the
normal position, fold-back will operate on second movement of the toggle swit ch. On loss of memory with mirrors in the
fold-back position, they will return to the no rmal position on next fold-back operation.
Bumpers
Each bumper comprises a beam mounted to the body via two strut assemblies, and a moulded polypropylene cover
incorporating side armatures and chrome plated blades. Each strut is secured to the BIW by three bolts and supports the
beam on a single bolt/height adjuster. The front bumper cover which is moulded to form a lo wer air intake for the cooling
pack, also incorporates left and right handed twin fog lamps, brake coolin g ducts. Side marker lamps fitted for some
markets serve only as reflectors for UK and Europe. A plastic undertray secured to the lower edge of the front bumper,
improves airflow and minimises the ingres s of road grime in that area. Standard bumpers have glass mat thermoplastic
(GMT) beams mounted on GMT struts. For certain markets, aluminium bumper beams are installed on menasco energy
absorbing struts. Whilst both types of front bumper provide a fu lly integrated 'soft front end' that satisfies bumper impact
requirements, the energy absorbing front and rear bumpers are further designed to withstand 5mph (8kph) impacts with no
visible damage sustained. Side markers/re flectors, and direction indicators are designed for ease of ac cess from the outside
of the bumper. For adjustment and bulb change, the fog lamps are accessed from th e bumper interior. The bumper covers
are body coloured and matched. Replacement covers are supplied complete with side armatures and are finished in primer
Trunk
The trunk houses the spare wheel, the battery, an electrical carrier containing electrical fuses, relays and modules and a
compact disc auto-changer attached to body bracketry. The trun k is fitted with push-fit liners to the sides and front inner
panel.The carpet covered floor is in two removable sections, one covering the spare wheel and wheel changing equipment,
the other covering the battery and electrical carrier. The front and rear edges of the floor board loca te in blocks on the fuel
tank backboard and the rear of the body , which provide two height settings to accommodate the difference in thickness
between the space saver and full sized spare wheels. A moulded finisher covering the rear of the trunk below the sill is
secured to the rear panel by tabs and fir tree fasteners. Finisher panels fitted over the rear lamp units provide for access
from the trunk. Finisher panels fitted to the rear lamp units provide trunk inte rior access to the lamps. The trunk lid
underside is fitted with a removable mo ulded liner and two trunk illumination light s. Trunk locking is based on a central
latch and striker, operated electrically through the central lo cking system by an adjacent actuator or by key in a barrel lock

Body Structure
Introduction
The standard wheelbase Jaguar sedan has a unit construction monocoque body structure with bolt-on front fenders and
welded rear fenders. The doors feature lif t-off hinges and welded drop-glass frames.
Constructional Steel Classification
BODY ALIGNMENT
The Body Dimensions Plan, and Body Dimensions Side View, provide specified BIW dimensions to facilitate damage
assessment and location of replacemen t parts. These dimensions must be strictly applied when used for damage
assessment, component location or post repair verification.
• NOTE: The right-hand side is always looking towards the front, from the rear of the vehicle.
The nominated plan view master datums are on the right-hand side of the body with the left-hand datums dimensioned
from them. Right-hand datums must therefore be known to be correct before any other cross-car dimensions are checked.
Datum location, Example
The Front Master Datum (front crossmember rear mounting at the inner face of the main floor RH longitudinal) is nominally
359,5mm to the right-hand side of the body center line. The LH side fron t datum is measured 717,0 / 721,0mm from the
RH. Refer to the Body Dimensions Plan.
Expressed as a true posi tion in three planes, the front master datum is:

Panels centered between two adjacent panels must have equal gaps on either side. For exceptions to this, refer to the
appropriate specification. Gaps between ad jacent panels or components must not expose harnesses, labels, brackets or
visually poor joint or assembly conditions.
• NOTE: Sliding roof panel clearances are specified without the edge seal installed.
Areas of particular concern are, fuel filler flap, trunk lid to fenders and saddle panels, hood to fenders, grill and headlamps,
sliding roof to main roof panel, door gaps at fenders, B\C posts, roof drip rail an d rocker panel, and bumper cover to fenders
and cross car assemblies
Alignment
Panels must be correctly profiled to maintain cosmetic appearance, and ensure co rrect seating of seals with minimal wind
noise. Areas of particular concern are hood to fenders, trunk lid to fenders and saddle panels, doors to apertures, doors to
fenders and adjacent doors and relationship of the sliding roof panel leading and trailing edges to the main roof panel.
Exterior Fitments
Bezels, trims and lamps must be concentric with apertu res and have equal clearances with adjacent panels.
Areas of particular concern are headlamp to hood, fender and trim panel, exhaust tailpipe trim to bumper cover cut-out,
rear lamp assembly to trunk lid, fender and bumper cover trim, and side feature lines including body side mouldings, fender
to door and door to door.
