Engine block heaters
Engines are more difficult to start when the
ambient temperature is very low. In
geographical areas where temperatures below
-10°C (14°F) are experienced frequently, it is
advisable to fit an engine block heater. The
block heater will have an insulated connector at
the front of the vehicle, which is connected to a
mains supply using a suitable extension cable.
The heater can remain in use overnight if
required. Typically, an e ngine block heater will
use between 400W and 1000W per hour.
For further information consult your Jaguar
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
If the engine fails to start
When pressing the engine START/STOP button
to start the engine, if the security status
indicator lamp on the top surface of the
instrument panel rema ins flashing, a fault
condition is indicate d. Seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
Note: If the Jaguar Smart Key is placed in the
door pocket, it may be outside the range of the
sensors when the door is opened.
Note: If the fuel system inertia switch has
tripped, the ignition circuit will be isolated.
See FUEL CUT-OFF (page 177).
Petrol engines
If the engine persistently fails to start, press the
START/STOP button (without applying the
brake pedal) to return the ignition to
convenience mode. Slowly depress the
accelerator pedal fully, hold it in this position

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) forms part of
the emissions reduction system fitted to your
vehicle. The DPF will remove a high proportion
of the harmful car bon microspheres (soot)
before they leave the exhaust. It achieves this
by filtering out the particles, which are then
stored until they are burnt away and the filter is
emptied.
Regeneration
Unlike a normal filter which requires periodic
replacement, the DPF has been designed to
regenerate, or clean itself, to maintain
operating efficiency. Th is regeneration process
takes place automatically in most cases.
However, some unfavourable driving
conditions may mean th at the regeneration
process must be initiate d deliberately by the
driver.
Warning indicators and messages
If regeneration cannot be achieved
automatically by the system, due to short
journeys for example, the driver will be notified
via a warning indicator or message.
DPF FULL
If this message appears in the message centre
(with a red backlight), the vehicle should be
taken to your Dealer/Authorised Repairer as
soon as possible.
DPF FULL SEE HANDBOOK
If this message appears in the message centre
(with an amber backlight), the driver should
carry out the DPF regene ration procedure that
follows, as soon as possible.
CAUTION
The regeneration procedure produces
high temperatures in the DPF. Heat can
be felt radiating from beneath the vehicle,
which is normal and not a cause for concern.
However, the vehicle should not be parked
over combustible material, particularly during
dry weather. The heat generated could be
sufficient to start a fire when in close proximity
to combustible material such as long dry
grass, paper etc.
CAUTION
Failure to take the appropriate action
when a warning message appears, may
result in damage to the engine and DPF
system, increased vehicle emissions and
costly repairs.

Regeneration procedure
If the warning DPF FULL SEE HANDBOOK
appears in the message centre, carry out the
following procedure as soon as possible.
Note: At all times during this procedure you
should observe all releva nt speed limits, laws
and regulations. Always ta ke account of traffic
and weather conditions and drive with
consideration for other road users.
1. Drive the vehicle until the engine reaches
normal operating temp erature. The engine
should not be left idli ng to achieve working
temperature.
2. Drive the vehicle for a further twenty
minutes, keeping the vehicle at a steady
speed between 75 km/h (45 mph) and
120 km/h (75 mph).
Keeping a constant speed enables the DPF
to regenerate more efficiently. It is
therefore recommended that Cruise
control is used to achieve this, if possible.
3. If regeneration is su ccessful, the warning
message will extinguish. If the message
remains, repeat the process.
If the warning message fa ils to extinguish after
60 minutes of driving, contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer for assistance.

Transmission
If the selector fails to elevate
If the JaguarDrive selector is obstructed when
the engine is started, it may be prevented from
elevating out of the centre console. If this
occurs, turn off the ignition, ensure that the
selector is not obstruc ted and then start the
engine. The selector s hould elevate as normal.
If the selector still fails to elevate, even if there
is no obstruction, a faul t in the system is
indicated. The selector ca n still be used in the
lowered position, but be aware that it will not
automatically select P when the engine is
switched off, so P should be sele cted manually.
The fault should be re ctified by a Dealer/
Authorised Repairer at the earliest opportunity.
Starting
In the unlikely event that the selector did not
rotate back to P when the vehicle was
previously switched off, and the selector has
remained in R, D or S, it will not be possible to
start the engine. The vehicle will go to ignition
on. The selected range will flash and the
selector will now be unlocked, to allow the
driver to select P and start the engine.
Automatic mode
To select Drive (D) when the vehicle is
stationary:-
1. Apply the foot brake.
2. Rotate the gear selector to D.
When in D the transmission will automatically
select the most appropriate gear for the current
driving conditions.
Note: When a gear is selected the vehicle may
begin to move as soon as the foot brake is
released.
Kick-down
When D is selected and the accelerator pedal is
depressed fully, the transmission will
downshift to the lowest appropriate gear. Once
the accelerator pedal is returned to a normal
driving position, the tr ansmission will up-shift
to the highest appropriate gear.
Note: Kick-down operation will vary according
to road speed, current gear in use and
accelerator movement.

Brakes
144
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Brake pads
Brake pads require a period of bedding in when
new. Drive with extra caution for the first
500 km (300 miles) to avoid the need for heavy
braking.
Brake pad wear warning
When the brake pads are wearing low, the
warning message BRAKE PADS LOW is
displayed in the message centre. Arrange for
your vehicle to be se en by your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer at the earliest opportunity.
Wet conditions
Driving through heavy ra in or water can have
an adverse effect on braking efficiency. Under
such circumstances, it is recommended that
you lightly a pply the brakes intermittently to
dry the brakes.
ABS warning indicator
If this amber warning indicator
illuminates while driving and/or
ABS FAULT is displayed in the
message centre, drive with extra caution, avoid
heavy braking where possible, and seek
qualified assistance as soon as possible.
If this red warning indicator
illuminates while driving and/or the
message LOW BRAKE FLUID is
displayed in the message centre, check the
brake fluid level at the earliest opportunity and
top-up as required. See BRAKE FLUID CHECK
(page 206).
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ABS
ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) allows
maximum brake pressure, and thus maximum
braking efficiency, to be applied, and prevents
the road wheels locking. This allows the driver
to retain steering control during heavy braking
under most road conditions.
ABS optimises tyre to road adhesion under
maximum braking conditions, though it cannot
provide increased cornering ability.
WARNINGS
Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal whilst the vehicle is in motion.
This may cause a light application of
the brakes, which can result in overheating,
reduced brake performance, and excessive
brake wear.
Never allow the vehicle to coast
(freewheel) with the engine turned
off. The engine must be running to
provide full braking assistance. The brakes will
still function with the e ngine off, but far more
pressure will be required to operate them.
If the red brake warning indicator
illuminates, safely bring the vehicle to
a stop, as quickly as possible. Seek
qualified assistance before proceeding.
Never place non-approved floor
matting or any ot her obstructions
under the brake pedal. This restricts
pedal travel and braking efficiency.
WARNINGS
ABS cannot overcome the physical
limitations of braking distance. Nor
can it overcome the lack of grip on a
road surface (e.g. aquaplaning on water).
Braking distance is increased on a
slippery surface. This applies to all
vehicles, even those fitted with ABS.
The driver should not be tempted to
take risks when driving, in the hope
that ABS will correct errors of
judgement. In all cases it remains the driver's
responsibility to driv e with due care and
attention, payi ng particular attention to the
effects of speed, weather, road conditions etc.

Driving hints
ECONOMICAL DRIVING
There are two main factors which influence fuel
economy, the way the vehicle is driven and
maintenance.
Driving tips for economy
•Avoid unnecessary jour neys, especially
short stop-start trips.
• Accelerate smoothly and gently from a
stand still.
• Allow time to brake gently and smoothly.
• Be aware of traffic and road conditions
ahead, and take action in time to avoid
hard braking or acceleration.
• When stationary apply the park brake, and
select neutral.
• Turn off the air conditioning when not
needed.
Maintenance and fuel economy
Regular servicing by a Dealer/Authorised
Repairer, along with regular checks by the
driver are essential fo r vehicle longevity and
fuel economy.
The condition of the engine (oils, filters, spark
plugs, settings etc.) tyre pressures, and wheel
alignment, will all have a bearing on fuel
economy. For this reason it is essential that the
vehicle is checked regularly by the driver and
serviced by an approved Dealer/Authorised
Repairer at the correct intervals.
Note: If you are in any doubt about the
maintenance requirement s, intervals, or
checks required, contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer for advice.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONSFUEL QUALITY
Water in fuel
Petrol engined vehicles
WARNINGS
Petroleum gasses are highly
flammable, have a low flash point,
and are explosive, especially in
confined spaces. Avoid exposing the gasses to
any potential sources of ignition as the
resulting fire and expl osion may cause serious
injuries and/or death.
Only use containe rs specifically
designed for carrying fuel and always
remove them from the vehicle to fill
them. Failure to do so may result in spillage,
and cause a fire.
Switch off the engine when refuelling,
as it is both a source of extreme
temperatures, and electrical sparks.
The resulting fire a nd explosion may cause
serious injury and death.
Switch off any personal electronic
devices such as mobile phones, or
music players. They have the
potential to cause electrical sparks. The
resulting fire and expl osion may cause serious
injury and death.
Do not smoke, use a naked flame, or
cause sparks. The resulting fire and
explosion may cause serious injury
and death.
Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Overfilling may cause spillage when
the vehicle is driven. Spillage may
also occur if the fuel expands in high ambient
temperatures.
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 se rvice actions should be
entrusted to a Dealer /Authorised Repairer.The presence of any unusual fumes
(e.g. petrol or exhaust fumes) in the
passenger compartment and/or
luggage compartment, should be corrected
immediately by a Dealer /Authorised Repairer.
If you must drive unde r these conditions, do
so only with all windows fully open.
CAUTIONS
If the warning WATER IN FUEL is
displayed in the message centre, an
excessive amount of wate r has collected in the
fuel filter bowl. Seek assistance from a Jaguar
Dealer/Authorised Repairer to have the filter
drained, as soon as possible.
CAUTIONS
Do not use leaded fuels, lead substitutes
or fuel additives. Doing so can cause
damage to the engine, fuel and emission
control systems.
Only use high quality petrol, as using
lower quality fuels ca n cause damage to
the engine, fuel and emission control systems.
Fuel system cleaning agents should not
be used, unless a pproved by Jaguar.
Unapproved products may be harmful to fuel
system components on your vehicle.
It is the driver’s resp onsibility to fill the
vehicle with the correct fuel. If the
vehicle is filled with the wrong type of fuel, do
not start the engine. Call for Roadside
Assistance.

Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE)
Unleaded fuel containing an oxygenate known
as MTBE can be used provided that the ratio of
MTBE to conventional fuel does not exceed
15%. MTBE is an Ether based compound
derived from Petroleum, which has been
specified by several refiners as the substance
to enhance the Octane rating of fuel.
Reformulated gasoline
Several petroleum comp anies have announced
the availability of reformulated fuels. These
fuels are specially formulated to further reduce
vehicle emissions. Jagua r fully supports all
efforts to protect and maintain ambient air
quality and encourages the use of reformulated
gasoline, where available.
DIESEL ENGINED VEHICLES
Use only high quality diesel fuel according to
EN590 or equivalent.
The quality of diesel fu el is variable, depending
on geographic location . Always use premium
or the highest quality fuel available in your
locality. High quality fuel ensures a longer life
for your engine components. Lower grade fuel
contains higher levels of sulphur, which is
detrimental to engine components. If low
quality fuel is used, light coloured smoke may
be evident at the exhaust.
Note: Jaguar vehicles ar e capable of running
with up to a 5% blend of bio-diesel, in
accordance with European Standard EN590. Prolonged use of additives is not
recommended. Do not add paraffin or petrol to
diesel fuels.
Winter grade diesel fuel
To make sure of relia
ble diesel engine
operation during cold seasonal periods, Winter
grade fuel must be used . This fuel is normally
available from fuel retailers during these
periods and the fuel companies adjust the fuel
quality to suit climatic conditions.
If the vehicle is not filled with Winter grade
diesel fuel, it is recommended that the engine
is idled for a period of over two minutes after
starting, to prevent fuel solidification during
operation.CAUTION
Do not use RME (bio-d iesel) except in
the case of those propr ietary diesel fuels
which contain a mix of up to 5%. Jaguar can
accept no responsibility for damage caused by
using RME in concentrat ions greater than 5%.
CAUTIONS
If you inadvertently fill your vehicle with
petrol instead of di esel, do not attempt
to start the engine. Contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer im mediately. Attempting
to start the engine with petrol in the fuel tank,
will cause extensive dama ge to the engine and
fuel system, which will not be covered by your
Jaguar warranty.
Jaguar cars can ac cept no responsibility
for any damage caused by running your
vehicle with petrol or ve getable oil in the fuel
tank.

Towing
184
Diesel engine vehicles
The diesel engine management system
incorporates sensors to determine optimum
performance. It is also designed to protect the
engine when arduous conditions are
encountered during towing. When ambient
temperature exceeds 40°C (104°F), the engine
coolant temperature may increase above
normal operating level. If this occurs, the
management system will initiate a series of
actions to restore norma l operating conditions.
The actions may include:
• A message centre message.
• Engine performance reduction.
• Air conditioning syst em cycling. The
system temperature output will fluctuate
between hot and cold, in order to dissipate
engine heat. If engine overheat persists,
the air conditioning will move to
continuous heat output.
It is advisable to bring the vehicle and trailer to
a convenient stop and allow the engine to idle
until normal temperature is restored. Do not
turn off the engine.
Trailer electrical connection
Note: The rear parking sensors are
automatically disabled when the trailer
electrical conne ction is made using Jaguar
approved towing equipment.
The vehicle's electrical system has been
designed to support all towing requirements,
and comply with legal requirements for the
specific territory in which the vehicle is first
sold.
LEVELLING
To maintain vehicle stabilit y, it is essential that
the trailer is loaded so that it remains parallel to
the ground. This is particularly important when
towing twin axled trailers.
CAUTION
Only connect appr oved electrical
circuits, which are in good condition to
the trailer socket. Connecting incorrect, or
faulty circuits may seriously damage the
vehicle's electrical circuits.
