level ground, with the e ngine switched off and
the system cold. Ensure that the steering wheel
is not turned after stopping the engine.
The level of fluid can be seen through the
translucent body of the reservoir. The fluid level shoul
d be between the MIN and
the MAX marks.
Topping up the fluid
1.Clean the filler cap before removing to
prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.
2. Remove filler cap.
3. Using Mobil ATF320, top-up the reservoir
until the fluid level is between the MIN and
MAX marks.
4. Replace filler cap.
WARNINGS
Power steering fluid is highly toxic.
Keep containers sealed and out of
reach of children. If accidental
consumption of fluid is suspected, seek
medical attenti on immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with
the skin or eyes, rinse immediately
with plenty of water.
Power steering fluid is highly
inflammable. Do not allow power
steering fluid to come into contact
with naked flames or other sources of ignition
(e.g. a hot engine) - a fire may result.
CAUTIONS
The engine must not be started if the
fluid level has dropped below the MIN
mark. Severe damage to the steering pump
could result.
Seek qualified assistance immediately if
there is a noticeable drop in the fluid
level. Severe damage to the steering pump
could result.
If fluid loss is slow, the reservoir may be
topped-up to the upper level mark to
enable the vehicle to be driven to a repair
facility for examination. However, it is
recommended that you seek qualified
assistance before driving the vehicle.CAUTIONS
It is imperative that the power steering
system does not beco me contaminated
in any way. Always use new fluid and clean the
area around the filler neck both before

BATTERY WARNING SYMBOLS
BATTERY CARE
Do not allow any naked flames,
or other sources of ignition near
the battery as the battery may
emit explosive gasses.
Ensure that when working near,
or handling the battery, suitable
eye protection is worn. This will
reduce the risk of eye damage
caused by acid splashes.
To prevent risk of injury, do not
allow children near the battery.
Be aware that the battery may
emit explosive gasses.
The battery contains acid which
is extremely corrosive, and toxic.
WARNINGS
Do not allow the battery electrolyte
(fluid) to come into contact with your
skin or eyes. It is both corrosive and
toxic, and the resulting injuries can be severe.
If any electrolyte does come into contact with
your skin or eyes, immediately rinse the
affected area with clean, cold water.
Immediate medical advice will be required.
If battery electrolyte comes into
contact with your skin and/or clothes
you should remove the affected
clothing and flush the skin with copious
amounts of water. Seek medical assistance
immediately.
If battery electrolyte comes into
contact with your eyes, flush with
copious amounts of clean cold water.
Seek medical assistance immediately, and
continue to flush with water.
If swallowed, battery electrolyte can
be fatal. If electrolyte is swallowed,
seek medical assistance immediately.
Do not connect any 12 volt equipment
directly to the battery terminals.
Doing so may cause a spark, which
can result in an explosion.
The cell plugs and vent pipe must be
in place at all times when the battery
is connected to the vehicle. Ensure
that the vent pipe is clear of obstructions and
not kinked. Failure to do so may cause a
pressure build up in the battery, resulting in an
explosion.
Do not expose the battery to a naked
flame or spark as the battery
produces explosive , flammable gas.
Never jump start (boost) or charge, a
frozen battery. Doing so can result in
an explosion.
Remove all metal jewellery before
working on, or near , the battery, and
never allow metal tools or vehicle
components to come into contact with the
battery terminals. Metal objects can cause
sparks and/or short circuits, resulting in an
explosion.
Do not allow the battery posts or
terminals to come into contact with
your skin. They cont ain lead and lead
compounds, which are toxic. Always wash
your hands thoroughly after handling the
battery.
WARNINGS

213
Vehicle battery

Your vehicle is fitted with a low maintenance
battery, which is located under the floor of the
luggage compartment.
In hot climates more frequent checks of the
battery electrolyte level and condition are
required. If necessary, the battery cells can be
topped up using di stilled water.
When the ignition is switched on, but without
the engine running, BATTERY NOT CHARGING
is displayed in the mess age centre. The battery
will only charge when the engine is running.
Note: Do not connect any 12 volt equipment
(e.g. a 12 volt inspection lamp), directly to the
battery terminals. Use the accessory socket
located in the cubby box, for connecting Jaguar
approved accessories.
Battery Monitoring System (BMS)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Battery
Monitoring System (BMS) which manages the
battery charging system and, if excessive
battery discharge is o ccurring when the engine
isn't running, shuts down non-essential
electrical systems to protect battery power.
In the event that too many electrical systems
are operational when the engine is not running,
and the battery charge is insufficient, the audio
and entertainment systems (if active) and
climate control system will be switched off.
This will be confirmed by a low battery warning
message displayed on the touch-screen. If this
occurs, switch on and run the engine for at
least five minutes, preferably with all auxiliary
electrical systems switched off (e.g. lights,
wipers, climate control, seat heaters etc.).
Note: The audio system can be operated
during this five minute period when the engine
is running.
If the engine is switched off before the five
minute period ends and the audio system is
switched on, the warning message will
re-appear on the touch-sc reen and the audio,
entertainment and climate control systems will
switch off again. For this reason, it is important
that the engine is left running for the full five
minute period.
Charging faults
If there is a fault in the battery charging system,
CHARGING FAULT is displayed with red
backlighting in the mess age centre. If this
occurs, switch off all non-essential electrical
systems and seek qualified assistance at the
earliest opportunity.
CAUTION
Do not allow battery electrolyte to come
into contact with fabrics or painted
surfaces. If battery electrolyte comes into
contact with any surfac e, the surface should
be washed down immedi ately with copious
amounts of clean water. Battery electrolyte is
both corrosive and toxic, and can damage a
wide range of materials if left.

Wheels and tyres
236

Tyre pressure warning with speed
If the vehicle is to be driven at speeds in excess
of 160 km/h (100 mph), the tyre pressures
should be increased as stated in this handbook
or on the placard label. Failure to increase the
tyre pressures and driving in excess of
160 km/h (100 mph), will illuminate the yellow
warning telltale and display a text message
TYRE PRESSURES LOW FOR SPEED . In the
event of this warning be ing displayed, vehicle
speed should be reduced
Temporary use spare wheel and tyre
change
If the temporary use spare wheel is fitted the
system will automatically recognise the change
in wheel positions. The n after approximately
ten minutes of driv ing above 25 km/h
(18 mph), a message TYRE NOT MONITORED
will be displayed accompanied by illumination
of the warning telltale and the corresponding
block in the vehicle graphic.
The warning telltale will initially flash and will
subsequently revert to continuous illumination.
Extended use of the temporary use spare wheel
will produce an additional text message TYRE
PRESSURE SYSTEM FAULT .
This TPM system display sequence will be
activated at every ignition cycle until the
temporary use spare wheel is replaced by a
fully operational full size wheel and tyre
assembly.
Always replace the temporary use wheel before
having TPM system faults investigated. The
fault may well be rectified with the fitment of a
fully operational full size running tyre in lieu of
the temporary use spare wheel assembly.
Tyre changing
Always have your tyres serviced or changed by
a qualified engineer.
Care must be taken to avoid contact between
the bead of the tyre and the sensor during
removal and refitting of the tyre, otherwise the
sensor may become damaged and or
inoperable.
Sensors can be removed from the wheel by the
unscrewing of the va lve retention nut.
Replacement sensor
Should the sensor require replacing, it should
be carried out by a Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
A replacement sensor must be fitted to a
running wheel in order to be recognised by the
system. The vehicle needs to be stationary for
15 minutes during the se nsor fitment before
the system is ready to detect the new sensor.
The vehicle must be driven for a minimum of
fifteen minutes after the sensor change, and
then remain stationary for fifteen minutes to
activate full TPM system operation.
If the TPM system warning for any wheel does
not clear, even after ensuring correct inflation
and driving for more than ten minutes above
25 km/h (18 mph), you should seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Valve stem seal, washer, nut, valve core
and cap should be replaced at every tyre
change. Valve stem seal, washer and nut must
be replaced if valve re tention nut is loosened.
Sensor units and nuts must be refitted using
correct torque figures and associated profile.
Damage to the vehicle may result if these
precautions are not taken.
