WARNINGS
The towing eyes at the front and rear
of the vehicle are designed for
on-road recovery only. If they are
used for any purpose other than those
indicated, it may result in vehicle damage and
serious injury.
Never use the towing eyes to tow a
trailer, caravan etc. Doing so may
result in vehicle damage and serious
injury.

Only use the lashing points indicated, or
over-tyre tie-downs, to secure the
vehicle to the transporter or trailer. Use of any
other position (e.g. lower control arms) may
result in damage to the vehicle.

Vehicle recovery

TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
The recommended method for
recovery/transportation of the vehicle, is on a
transporter or trailer de signed for that purpose.
Ensure that transporta tion is carried out by
suitably qualified persons , and that the vehicle
is secured correctly.
If the vehicle is being tr ansported on a trailer or
vehicle flat-bed transporter, the parking brake
must be applied, the wheels are chocked and
the Emergency Park Re lease (EPR) operated,
to ensure that the transmission remains in N
and does not automatically select P.
Emergency Park Release (EPR)
When recovering your vehicle, it is essential
that the EPR is operated. EPR prevents the
transmission from automatically selecting P,
ensuring that the transmission remains in
neutral ( N). EPR is operated by a lever located
behind a trim panel in the cubby box. Before
activating the EPR, select P, apply the parking
brake and turn the ignition off. 1.
Open the twin cup holder lid.
2. Open the cubby box lid.
3. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, lever the
trim panel upwards (at the point indicated)
to release and remove.

4.Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, turn the
locking device 90° counter-clockwise.
5. Apply the foot brake.
6. Use the strap to pull the EPR lever
upwards, until it latches in the vertical
position.
When EPR is activated, the JaguarDrive
selector will remain in P , but the selector
indicator and the gear display in the message
centre will both flash N (if ignition is on), to
indicate that EPR is active.
When vehicle transportation has been
completed, EPR should be cancelled, to allow
Park to be re-engaged.
Cancelling EPR
1. Using a flat-bladed sc rewdriver, release
the latch (arrowed).
2. Return the EPR lever to its horizontal
position.
3. Turn the locking device 90° clockwise to
secure.
4. Replace the trim pane l and close the cubby
box and twin cup holder lids.E96408

TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOUR
WHEELS
Note: The recommended recovery method is
to raise all four wheels.
Towing procedure
1. The vehicle should be parked on firm level
ground, with the parking brake on, and the
gear selector in P (Park).
2. Secure the towing attachment from the
recovery vehicle to the front towing eye.
See TOWING POINTS (page 253).
3. Dock the Jaguar Smart Key and switch on
the ignition. See GENERAL INFORMATION
(page 132). 4.
Apply the foot brake and release the
parking brake.
5. With the foot brake st ill applied, activate
the Emergency Park Release (EPR).
See TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
(page 254).
6. The vehicle can now be towed a maximum
of 0.8 km (0.5 miles) at a maximum speed
of 48 kmh (30 mph).
7. Upon arrival at the destination, ensure
wherever possible that the vehicle is
parked on firm level ground.
8. Lower the Emergency Park Release (EPR)
lever, to cancel EP R and to re-engage P
(Park).
9. Apply the parking brake.
10. Switch off the ignition and remove the
Jaguar Smart Key.
11. Remove the towing attachment from the
towing eye.
WARNINGS
Ensure that the remote control
remains docked whilst the vehicle is
being towed. Removing the remote
control will engage the steering lock, which
will prevent the vehicle from steering
correctly.
If the engine cannot be run whilst the
vehicle is being towed, there will be
no power assistance for the steering
or brakes. This will result in greater effort
being required to steer or slow the vehicle, and
greatly increased stopping distances.
CAUTIONS
The vehicle should only be towed in a
forward direction with all four wheels on
the ground.
The vehicle should only be towed for a
maximum of 0.8 km (0.5 miles), at a
maximum speed of 48 km/h (30 mph). Towing
for a greater distance or at a higher speed, may
result in serious damage to the transmission.
CAUTION
Leaving the ignition switched on for
extended periods will cause the battery
to drain.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when detaching
towing equipment. Vehicle movement
is possible which can result in serious
injuries.
