GARAGE DOOR TRANSCEIVERThe door transceiver is located in the rear-view
mirror. It can be programmed to transmit the
radio frequencies of up to three different
transmitters, which can be used to activate
garage doors, entry ga tes, home lighting,
security systems or other radio frequency
operated devices.
Although this section mainly describes the
procedures for a garage door opener, it also
equally applies to the previously mentioned
applications.
In some countries, this feature is also known
as the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.
For further information, see Information and
Assistance later in this section.
Before programming
For best results, fit a new battery to the
hand-held transmitter of the garage door
opener (or other device ) before programming.
If your garage door opener receiver (located in
the garage) is equippe d with an antenna,
ensure that the antenna is hanging straight
down.
WARNINGS
Do not use the transceiver with any
garage door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature as
required by safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these features increases
risk of serious injury or death.
When programming the transceiver
to a garage door opener or entry gate,
ensure the area is clear. This will
prevent potential harm or damage as the gate
or garage door will activate during the
programme.
CAUTION
This device may suffer from interference
if operated in the vici nity of a mobile or
fixed station transmitter. This interference is
likely to affect the hand-held transmitter as
well as the in-car transceiver.
E95122
CAUTION
When programming a device that may
require you to press and re-press the
hand-held transmitte r (cycle), unplug the
device during the cycling process to prevent
possible motor failure.

Starting the engine
134

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

Parking aid
148

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Note: Once the system has been activated by
selecting reverse or using the switch, the front
and rear sensors are active when the gear
selector is in neutral. Therefore, if an obstacle
is detected an audible warning tone will sound.
The parking aid is automatically in standby
when the ignition is on and provides the driver
with information on most obstructions, and
their distance from the vehicle, when
manoeuvring. This is ac hieved by using four
ultrasonic sensors on each bumper.
When objects are detected the Park aid will
emit a warning tone which increases in
frequency and then becomes constant, as the
vehicle gets closer to the object.
USING THE PARKING AID
Touch-screen
To set the volume of the parking aid warning
tones:
• Select Vehicle from the touch-screen
Home menu, then select Veh. settings.
• Select Parking , then select Vol. presets.
Touch the Parking aid + or - button to increase
or decrease the warning tone volume.
Note: This adjusts both front and rear speaker
volume.
WARNINGS
It remains the driver’s responsibility
to be vigilant when reversing. Small
children or animals may not be
detected by the system.
It remains the driver’s responsibility
to detect obstacles and estimate the
vehicle’s distance from them. Some
overhanging objects , barriers, thin
obstructions or painted surfaces which could
possibly cause damage to the vehicle may not
be detected by the system. Always be vigilant
when reversing.
CAUTIONS
Objects moving away from the vehicle
will be reported. Howe ver, whilst driving
away, object warning may be temporarily
reported due to ground reflection.
Systems using the same frequency
band as the front parking sensors, may
cause irregular tones to be emitted.

Fuel and refuelling
180

DIESEL MISFUELLING PROTECTION
DEVICE
Diesel engine vehicles in some markets are
equipped with a misfuelling protection device,
incorporated into the fuel filler neck, designed
to alert that the wrong fuel type has been
selected. If the narrow filler nozzle fitted to
pumps delivering unleaded petrol is correctly
inserted (i.e. fully inserted) into the filler neck,
the misfuel protection de vice will activate.
The protection device c ontinually interrupts the
fuel flow from the pump, until the protector
mechanism in the filler neck is reset.
When activated, the yellow protection device
will be visible in the f iller neck. The device will
need to be reset before the tank can be
correctly filled with dies el fuel. This is achieved
using the reset tool, lo cated in the luggage
compartment, clipped onto the battery
restraining bar.
Note: It is the driver’s responsibility to fill the
vehicle with the correct fuel. The diesel
misfuelling protection devi ce only reduces the
risk of filling the vehicle with the incorrect fuel.
Note: When refuelling the vehicle using a
disposable fuel canister, use a canister
designed for diesel fuel where possible. The
spout on petrol canist ers may activate the
protection device. The device may also be
activated by fuel pumps with a smaller nozzle
than those fitted to standard diesel pumps.
Resetting the protection device
To reset the misfuelling protection device:
1. Insert the reset tool (with the teeth
uppermost) into the fi ller neck opening, as
far as it will go. The triangular section on
the reset tool stop s on the protection
device at the requi red insertion depth.
2. Pivot the reset tool handle downwards to
engage the teeth into the protection device.
3. Keeping the reset tool handle held down,
slowly pull the reset tool out of the filler
neck to reset the misfuelling protection
device.
Note: To ensure that the pr otection device is
correctly reset, check that the yellow protector
is no longer visible in the filler neck.
After resetting the misfuelling protection
device, remove the tool fr om the filler neck and
secure it to the battery restraining bar. If
subsequent driveability difficulties are
encountered, seek assistance from your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
WARNINGS
When the misfuelling protection
device is activated, it could cause fuel
to be discharged from the filler neck.
CAUTIONS
Using the incorrect fuel can result in
major damage to your vehicle’s engine
and fuel system.

Towing

RECOMMENDED TOWING WEIGHTS
Nose/tongue weight must be the greater of
50 kg (110 lbs) or 7% of the actual trailer
weight, up to the maximum tow hitch load.
Nose/tongue weight can be measured using a
proprietary brand of nose weight indicator.
If it is necessary to increase the nose/tongue
weight up to the maximu m allowed, the vehicle
load should be reduced accordingly. This
ensures that the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW),
and maximum rear axle load, are not exceeded.
Note: When towing the maximum permissible
gross vehicle weight can be increased by a
maximum of 100 kg (220 lb.) provided that the
road speed is limited to 100 km/h (60 mph).
Note: When calculating rear axle loading,
remember that the trailer nose/tongue weight,
the load in the vehicle's luggage area and the
weight of rear seat pa ssengers must all be
added together.
Towing weights - Australia only
The weight of a traile r must not exceed 1.5
times the towing vehicle’s weight. The
nose/tongue weight must be a minimum of 7%
of gross caravan/trai ler weight, up to a
maximum of 350 kg (722 lbs).
ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS
• The trailer should be parallel to the ground
when loaded and connected to the vehicle.
• When calculating the laden weight of the
trailer remember to include the weight of
the trailer, plus the weight of the load.
• If the load can be divided between the
vehicle and trailer, loading more weight
into the vehicle will generally improve
stability. Do not exceed the vehicle's
weight limits. See WEIGHTS (page 259).
• Ensure that all applic able regulations and
legislation are complied with when loading
and towing a trailer.
• Increase rear tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle to those for maximum vehicle
loading conditions.
• Ensure trailer tyre pressures are set to
trailer manufacturer' s recommendations.
• If the vehicle is loaded to maximum Gross
Vehicle Weight (GVW) the nose weight is
limited (see Towi ng weights table).
• Ensure that a suitable breakaway cable or
secondary coupling is used. Refer to the
trailer manufacturer' s instructions for
guidance.
• Ensure that the tow ball is secure.
• Check the operation of all trailer lights.
Maximum permissible
towing weights
Unbraked trailers 750 kg (1653 lb.) Trailers with
overrun brakes 1850 kg (4080 lb.)
Nose/Tongue weight 75 kg (165 lb.)
WARNING
Do not exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight (GVW), m aximum rear axle
weight, maximum trailer weight, or
nose/tongue weight. Exceeding any of these
limits could cause inst ability and loss of
control. See WEIGHTS (page 259).
WARNING
Do not loop the breakaway cable over
the tow ball as it may slide off.

Maintenance

1.Unscrew the oil filler cap (arrowed).
2. Add the appropriate quantity of oil (as
indicated by the message centre oil level
display). Wait 5 minutes to let the oil level
stabilise and re-check the level.
Clean up any oil spilled during topping up.
3. Once the correct level is achieved, refit the
filler cap and hand tighten securely.
Note: The approximate quantity of oil required
to raise the level from the minimum level of
safe operation to the ma ximum, is 1.5 litres
(2.6 pints).
ENGINE OIL CHECK - V6 Diesel
engines
Engine oil consumption
A certain amount of oil consumption is normal.
The rate of consumption will depend on the
following:
• The quality and visc osity of the oil.
• Climatic conditions.
• The speed at which the engine is being
operated.
• Road conditions.
Drivers should expe ct above normal
consumption when the engine is new.
JAG1383
CAUTIONS
If the warning ENGINE OIL CRITICALLY
LOW is displayed in the message centre,
stop the engine as soon as it is safe to do so
and seek qualified assistance. Do not start the
engine until the cause ha s been identified and
rectified.
Your vehicle’s warranty may be
invalidated if damage is caused by the
use of improper engine oil. Low quality or
obsolete oils do not pr ovide the protection
required by modern, high performance
engines. Failure to use an oil that meets the
required specification could cause excessive
engine wear, a build up of sludge and deposits
and increased pollution. It could also lead to
engine failure.
Do not use oil additives of any type as
engine damage could occur. Use only
specified lubricants.

Maintenance

Topping up the oil
1.With the ignition on, but the engine not
running, unscrew the oil filler cap
(arrowed).
2. Add the appropriate quantity of oil (as
indicated by the message centre oil level
display). Wait 5 minutes to let the oil level
stabilise and re-check the level.
Clean up any oil spilled during topping up.
3. Once the correct level is achieved, refit the
filler cap and hand tighten securely until
one click is heard.
Note: The approximate quantity of oil required
to raise the level from the minimum level of
safe operation to the ma ximum, is 1.5 litres
(2.6 pints). Note:
The ignition must be left on during the
top-up, so that the el ectronic dipstick can
register and display the new oil level. This
enables an accurate level re-check.
