Fuel and refuelling
REFUELLING
Fuel filler
Filling station pumps used for diesel
commercial vehicles deliver fuel at a higher
rate than normal. The hi gher fill rate can cause
premature cut-off and ma y cause fuel spillage.
Therefore, it is recommended that only
standard light vehicle pumps are used. If the fuel cuts off as soon as the trigger on the
pump is operated, check that the correct fuel
has been selected. Immediate cut-off may have
been caused by the fuel guard system.
See
DIESEL MISFUELLING PROTECTION
DEVICE (page 180).
Fuel tank capacity
Avoid the risk of running out of fuel and never
intentionally drive the vehicle when the fuel
gauge indicates that the tank is empty. When
refuelling your vehicle after the fuel gauge
reads empty, you may not be able to add the
fuel quantity shown below, as there will be a
small reserve remaining in the tank.
All engines
WARNINGS
When refuelling ensure that all
windows, doors, and sunroof are fully
closed, particularly if young children
or animals are in the vehicle. Fuel vapour
contains harmful chemical compounds, some
of which may cause cancer.
Do not attempt to fill the tank to its
maximum capacity. If the vehicle is to
be parked on a slope, in direct
sunlight or high ambient temperature,
expansion of the fuel could cause spillage.
Filling station pumps are equipped with
automatic cut-off sensing, to avoid fuel
spillage. Fill the tank unt il the filler nozzle
automatically cuts off supply. Do not attempt
to fill the tank beyond this point.
CAUTIONS
Check the fuel pump information
carefully, to ensure that you are putting
the correct fuel into the vehicle. Filling a
vehicle with the incorrect fuel can cause
serious engine and fu el system damage.
It is the driver’s responsibility 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.

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
TOWING A TRAILER (V6 petrol and
diesel vehicles only)
Note: It is the driver's responsibility to ensure
that the towing vehicle, and the trailer are being
used correctly, and in accordance with
manufacturers recommendations and any
applicable legislation. Your Dealer/Authorised Repairer and main
motoring and caravanni
ng organisation can
advise you on towing, towing weight capacities
and about regulations that apply in other
countries.
The following are important points of safety,
stability and comfort, upon which further
advice should be sought:
• Maximum braked towing weight is
permissible, provided that long periods of
uphill driving on gradients over 8% are not
undertaken.
• In high altitude mount ainous regions, the
thinner atmosphere can reduce engine
performance. Abov e 1000 metres (3250
feet), the stipulated maximum permitted
gross train weight mu st be reduced by
10% for every 1000 metres (3250 feet) in
altitude.
E95507
WARNINGS
Never exceed the maximum weights
for either the vehicle, or the trailer.
Doing so can cause accelerated wear
and damage to the ve hicle. It can also
adversely affect vehicle stability and braking,
which in turn can lead to loss of control and
increased braking distance resulting in a
rollover or crash.
To preserve handling and stability,
only fit Jaguar approved towing
accessories.
Never use towing eyes or lashing
points to tow a trailer. They have not
been designed for this purpose and
doing so may cause them to fail resulting in
injury or death.
When towing, do not exceed 100
km/h (60 mph) or 80 km/h (50 mph)
if a temporary spare wheel is in use.

Maintenance
192
GENERAL INFORMATION
Regular systematic maintenance is the key to
ensuring the continued reliability and efficiency
of your vehicle.
Maintenance is the owner's responsibility and
you must ensure that owner maintenance
operations, oil services, inspections and brake
fluid and coolant changes are carried out when
required and according to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
The routine maintenance requirements for your
vehicle are shown in th e Service Portfolio book.
Most of this necessar y workshop maintenance
requires specialised knowledge and
equipment, and should preferably be entrusted
to a Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Service Portfolio
The Service Portfolio book includes a Service
Record section, which enables a record to be
kept of all the servicing and inspections that are
carried out on the vehicle. This section of the
book also has an area for brake fluid changes
to be recorded.
Ensure your service provider signs and stamps
the book after each se rvice and inspection.
Owner maintenance
In addition to the routine services and
inspections, a number of simple checks must
be carried out more frequently. These checks
can be carried out by th e owner and advice is
given on the pages that follow.
Daily checks
• Operation of lamps, horn, direction
indicators, wipers, washers and warning
indicators.
• Operation of seat belts and brakes.
• Look for fluid deposits underneath the
vehicle that might indicate a leak.
Condensation drips from the air
conditioning is normal.
CAUTION
Severe damage to the electrical system
and electronic components can occur, if
any attempt is made to diagnose faults in the
electrical system using conventional
diagnostic equipment (e .g. the use of test
lamps or low impedanc e voltmeters). The
fitting of any electric al accessory should only
be entrusted to a Deal er/Authorised Repairer.CAUTION
Any significant or sudden drop in fluid
levels, or uneven tyre wear, should be
reported to a qualifie d technician without
delay.

Wheels and tyres
The following procedure should be used to
check and adjust the tyres pressures.
1.Remove the valve cap.
2. Firmly attach a tyre pressure gauge/inflator
to the valve.
3. Read the tyre pressure from the gauge,
and add air if required.
4. If air is added to the tyre, remove the gauge
and re-attach it be fore reading the
pressure. Failure to do so may result in an
inaccurate reading.
5. If the tyre pressure is too high, remove the
gauge and allow air out of the tyre by
pressing the centre of the valve. Refit the
gauge to the valve and check the pressure.
6. Repeat the process a dding or removing air
as required until the correct tyre pressure
is reached.
7. Refit the valve cap.
Note: It is an offence in certain countries to
drive a vehicle with incorrect tyre pressures.
Note: It is the driver's responsibility to ensure
that the tyre pressures are correct.
Tyre valves
Keep the valve caps screwed down firmly to
prevent water or dirt entering the valve. Check
the valves for leaks when checking the tyre
pressures.
Pressure compensation for ambient
temperature changes
If the intended journey will take the vehicle into
an area where the ambien t local temperature is
known to be lower than the journey start point,
tyre pressure under-i nflation could occur. A colder ambient local temperature will reduce
pressure within the tyre. An effect is to
decrease sidewall height
and to increase tyre
shoulder wear with the potential for tyre failure.
Vehicle dynamics could also be adversely
affected.
In order to minimise this effect, tyre pressures
can be adjusted to compensate before the start
of the journey. Alternatively, tyre pressures can
be adjusted when the area of lower ambient
temperature is reached.
In this situation, the vehicle must be left in the
ambient local temperature for a least one hour
before tyre pressu re is adjusted.
To compensate for colder ambient
temperatures, tyre pressures should be
increased by 0.14 bar (2lbf/in², 14 kPa) for
each 10°C (20°F) decrease.
Note: Ensure that correct tyre pressures are
maintained when moving to areas of differing
ambient temperature.
The Tyre Pressure M onitoring system (TPM
system) may issue a warning if the
under-inflation becomes significant. When
driving through variable climatic conditions the
TPM system warnings may be intermittent.

Wheels and tyres
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
If a wheel change is required, pull off the road
completely. Park on ground which is as level
and solid as possible. Ensure that the vehicle is
clear of any objects that will obstruct the safe
removal of the wheel. Switch on hazard
warning lamps and, where legally required,
display the warning triangle.
Regular maintenance of tyres contributes not
only to safety, but to the designed function of
the vehicle. Road-holdi ng, steering and braking
are especially vulnerable to incorrectly
pressurised, badly fitted or worn tyres.
Tyres of the correct size and type, but of
different make can have widely varying
characteristics. It is therefore recommended
that Jaguar approved tyres are fitted to all
wheels.
Temporary use spare wheel
Observe the following wa rnings before using
the wheel:
WARNINGS
Always ensure replacement tyres
have the correct rating and
specifications (e.g. load index, size,
speed rating) for your vehicle.
When using tyres other than those
recommended by Jaguar, do not
exceed the speed capacity
recommended by the manufacturer.
Wheels are extremely heavy. Take
care when lifting and particularly
when removing and replacing a wheel
in its storage position in the luggage
compartment.
CAUTION
Ultra high performance tyres. This
vehicle is equipped with an Ultra High
Performance (UHP) tyre and wheel
combination designed to give maximum dry
road performance with consideration for
aquaplaning resistan ce. UHP tyres have
performance enhancing soft rubber tread
compound. If driven aggressively they may
suffer rapid tread wear and a shorter life than
can be expected from other tyre types. This
wheel and tyre comb ination is more
susceptible to damage from road hazards.
Do not use this combination for driving on
snow or ice. High perf ormance tyres must be
replaced with winter tyres when weather
conditions dictate.
WARNINGS
Note the temporary use spare wheel
warning label. Adhere to instructions
on the label. Failure to comply can be
dangerous.
When a temporary use spare wheel is
fitted, drive with caution and replace
with the specified wheel and tyre as
soon as possible.
Do not fit more than one temporary
use spare wheel and tyre assembly at
one time.
The temporary use spare wheel must
be inflated to 4.2 bar (60 lbf/in²,
420 kPa) and cannot be repaired.
Temporary use spare wheel,
maximum speed is 80 km/h
(50 mph).

7.Switch the compressor to on ( I) and inflate
the tyre to the correct pressure.
8. To check the tyre pressure, turn off the
compressor then read the pressure from
the gauge.
9. When the compressor is off, if the tyre
pressure is too high, release the required
amount of pressure using the pressure
relief valve.
10. Once the tyre is inflated to the correct
pressure, switch off the compressor and
remove the power plug from the auxiliary
socket.
•The use of the tyre re pair kit sealant may
lead to error prompts and incorrect
readings of the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System. Therefore, use the
tyre repair kit pressure gauge to check
and adjust the damaged tyre's inflation
pressure.
11. Unscrew the inflation hose connector from
the tyre valve, replace the tyre valve cap
and the inflation hose connector protective
cap.
12. Ensure that the tyre repair kit is placed
securely in the vehicle.
13. Drive to the nearest tyre repair centre or
Dealer/Authorised Repairer, for a
replacement tyre to be fitted. Ensure that
you make the repair centre aware that the
tyre repair kit has been used before the tyre
is removed.
14. Both the tyre inflation hose, and the sealant
container should be replaced once a new
tyre has been fitted. Only sealant containers which are
completely empty should be
disposed of with normal household
waste. Sealant containe rs which contain some
sealant, and the tyre in flation hose, should be
disposed of by a tyre specialist or your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer, in compliance with
local waste dispos al regulations.
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
Note: Non-approved accessories may interfere
with the system. If this occurs, TYRE
PRESSURE SYSTEM FAULT is displayed in the
message centre.
WARNINGS
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM)
system is NOT a substitute for
manually checking ty re pressures.
The TPM system only provides a low pressure
warning and does not re-i nflate your tyres.
Tyre pressures should be checked regularly
using an accurate pressure gauge when cold.
Failure to properly maintain your pressures
could increase the risk of tyre failure, with
consequential loss of vehicle control and
personal injury.
The TPM system can NOT register
damage to a tyre. Regularly check the
condition of your tyre s, especially if
the vehicle is driven off-road.
CAUTION
When inflating tyre s, care should be
taken to avoid bend ing or damaging the
TPM system valves. Always ensure correct
alignment of the inflation head to the valve
stem.

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.

Audio introduction
268
RADIO RECEPTION
Some interference is to be expected from time
to time during a journey. Occasionally, it may
be necessary to retune the audio unit, to offset
the effects of moving from one transmitter area
to another.
While Radio Data System (RDS) automatic
retuning helps to reduce the effects of signal
changes, some manual retuning may still be
required (especially for lo cal stations) in areas
of weak reception.
FM Signals travel in a straight line, so large
obstacles, such as tall buildings, can shield the
vehicle from the signal, causing distortion or
loss of reception (known as dead spots).
Distortion can also occur if FM signals received
directly from the transmitter, mix with signals
deflected by obstructions such as mountains,
hills and tall buildin gs. This is known as
multi-path distortion.
Note: Although distortion, interference and
lack of signal clarity are sometimes attributed
to a fault in the radio, this is rarely the case.
