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.

USING BOOSTER CABLES
Note: Before connecti ng booster cables,
ensure that the battery connections on the
disabled vehicle are correct and that all
electrical equipment has been switched off.
1. Connect one end of the positive booster
cable to the positive terminal on the donor
vehicle's battery.
2. Connect the other end of the positive
booster cable to the positive terminal on
the disabled vehicle's battery. 3.
Connect one end of th e negative booster
cable to the earth point of the donor vehicle
that is recommended for jump starting by
the manufacturer.
4. Connect the other end of the negative
booster cable to a suitable earth point on
the disabled vehicle. The earth point
should be at least 0.5 metres (20 inches)
away from the battery and as far as
possible from any fu el or brake pipes.
• Check that all cables are clear of any
moving components and that all four
connections are secure.
5. Start the engine of the donor vehicle, and
allow it to idle for a few minutes.
6. Start the engine of the disabled vehicle.
7. Allow both vehicles to idle for two minutes.
8. Switch off the donor vehicle.
Disconnecting the cables
Note: Do not switch on any electrical
equipment until after th e cables have been
disconnected.
The engine should be running on the
previously disabled ve hicle and the engine
switched off on the donor vehicle. Disconnect
the booster cables in the exact reverse order of
that used for connection.
WARNINGS
Always wear appropriate eye
protection when working with
batteries.
During normal use, batteries emit
explosive hydrogen gas - ensure
sparks and naked lights are kept away
from the luggage compartment.
Do not attempt to start the vehicle if
the electrolyte in the battery is
suspected of being frozen.
Make sure both batt eries are of the 12
volt type and that the booster cables
have insulated clamps and are
approved for use with 12 volt batteries.
Do not disconnect the discharged
battery.
Do not connect posit ive (+) terminals
to negative (-) terminals and ensure
booster cables are kept away from
any moving parts in the engine compartment.
Do not connect a booster cable to the
negative (-) terminal of the battery.
Always connect to the recommended
earthing point.
WARNING
To avoid serious in jury use extreme
caution when removing the booster
cables as the engine will be running
on the previously disabl ed vehicle. This means
that you may be workin g close to components
which are moving at high speed, carry high
voltage, or may be hot.

authority.
WARNING
Ensure that the correct type of battery
charger is used. Using an unsuitable
charger may damage the battery and
could cause the battery to explode.
Always charge the battery in a well
ventilated area, away from any naked
flames, sparks or other ignition
sources. During charging, the battery can
produce a highly explosiv e and flammable gas.
CAUTIONS
Battery disconnecti on, removal and
replacement, should only be carried out
by qualified personne l. Consult your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
If the battery has been removed from
the vehicle to be charged, the Battery
Monitoring System will automatically
recalibrate. During this time, Low Battery
warning messages may appear.
Always follow the instructions supplied
with the battery charger. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the battery.
WARNING
Use caution when lifting the battery
our of, or into, the vehicle. It is heavy
and may cause injury when lifting or if
dropped.
Do not tilt the battery more than 45°,
as it may cause damage and may
cause the electrolyte to leak out.
Battery electrolyte is highly corrosive and
toxic.
CAUTIONS
Battery disconnect ion, removal and
replacement, should only be carried out
by qualified personnel. Consult your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.
If the vehicle battery is replaced by a
new battery, the vehicle electrical
system must be reset to the new battery by
qualified personnel. Fa ilure to reset the
electrical system, may result in Low Battery
warning messages. Consult your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.
Only a replacement battery of the same
type and specification as the original
should be fitted. Other batteries may vary in
size or have different terminal positions, which
could cause a fire hazard when connected to
the vehicle's electrical system.
Do not rest the battery on any part of the
vehicle, as it may cause damage due to
its weight.
Do not run the engine with the battery
disconnected. Doing so may damage
the charging system.

Wheels and tyres

Wheel changing safety
Before raising the vehicle, or changing a wheel
ensure that you read, and comply with the
following warnings.
WARNINGS
Always find a safe place to stop, off
the highway and away from traffic.
Ensure that the vehicle is on firm level
ground.
Disconnect traile r/caravan from
vehicle.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps.
Ensure that all passengers, and
animals, are out of the vehicle and in
a safe place away from the highway.
Place a warning triangle at a suitable
distance behind th e vehicle, facing
towards oncoming traffic.
Ensure that the front wheels are in the
straight ahead position, and engage
the steering lock.
Apply the parking br ake, and engage
Park (P).
Ensure that the jack is on firm level
ground.
Never place anything between the
jack and the ground, or the jack and
the vehicle.
When one rear wheel is lifted off the
ground the selection P (Park) position
will not prevent the vehicle from
moving and possibly slipping off the jack as
the park brake only operates on the rear
wheels.
Do not start or run the engine while
the vehicle is supported only by a
jack.
The jack is designed for use when
changing a wheel only. Never work
beneath the vehicle with the jack as
the only means of s upport - use vehicle
support stands.
Always chock the wheel diagonally
opposite the wheel to be changed,
using the wheel chock supplied in the
tool kit. Chock the front of a front wheel, or the
rear of a rear wheel.
If jacking the vehicle on a slight slope
is unavoidable, place chocks on the
downhill side of the two opposite
wheels. An additional chock will be
needed.
Take care when lifting the spare
wheel, and removing the punctured
wheel. The wheels are heavy, and can
cause injuries if not handled
correctly.
Remove the spare wheel prior to
jacking the vehicle. To avoid
destabilising the vehicle when raised.
Take care when loosening the wheel
nuts. The wheel brace may slip off if
not properly attached, and the wheel
nuts may give way suddenly. Either
unexpected movement ma y cause an injury.

Using the Jaguar tyre repair kit
Note: All vehicle drivers and occupants should
be made aware that a temporary repair has
been made to a tyre fitted to the vehicle. They
should also be made aware of the special
driving conditions im posed when using a
repaired tyre.
Repair procedure
1. Open the tyre repair kit and peel off the
maximum speed label. Attach the label to
the fascia in the driver's field of vision.
Take care not to obstruct any of the
instruments or warning lights.
2. Uncoil the compressor power cable and
the inflation hose.
3. Unscrew the orange cap from the sealant
bottle receiver and the sealant bottle cap.
4. Screw the sealant bottle into the receiver
(clockwise) until tight.
•Screwing the bottle onto the receiver will
pierce the bottle's se al. Do not unscrew
a full, or partly us ed bottle from the
receiver. Doing so will result in sealant
leaking from the bottle.
5. Remove the valve cap from the damaged
tyre.
6. Remove the protective cap from the
inflation hose and connect the inflation
hose to the tyre valve. Ensure that the hose
is screwed on firmly.
7. Ensure that the compressor switch is in
the off (0) position.
8. Insert the power cable connector into the
auxiliary power socket. See AUXILIARY
POWER SOCKETS (page 125).
WARNINGS
Avoid skin contact with the sealant
which contains natu ral rubber latex.
If the tyre inflati on pressure does not
reach 1.8 bar (26 lbf/in², 180 kPa)
within seven minutes, the tyre may
have suffered excessive damage. A temporary
repair will not be poss ible, and the vehicle
should not be driven until the tyre has been
replaced.
CAUTIONS
Before attempting a ty re repair, ensure
that the vehicle is parked safely, as far
away from passing traffic as possible.
Ensure that the parki ng brake is applied
and P (Park) is selected.
Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects such as nails, screws, etc. from
the tyre.
Always run the engine when using the
compressor, unless the vehicle is in an
enclosed or poorly ventil ated space, as this
may cause asphyxiation.
To prevent overheating, do not operate
the compressor continuously for longer
than ten minutes.
WARNING
Check the tyre sidewall prior to
inflation. If there are any cracks,
bumps or similar damage, do not
attempt to inflate the tyre. Do not stand
directly beside the tyre while the compressor
is pumping. Watch the ty re sidewall. If any
cracks, bumps or simila r damage appear, turn
off the compressor and let the air out by
means of the pressure relief valve. Do not
continue to use the tyre.

9.Unless the vehicle is in an enclosed area,
start the engine.
10. Set the compressor switch to the on ( I)
position.
11. Inflate the tyre to a minimum of 1.9 bar
(26 lbf/in²) and a maximum of 3.5 bar
(51 lbf/in²).
•When pumping the sealant through the
tyre valve, the pressure may rise up to 6
bar (87 lbf/in²). The pressure will drop
again after approximately 30 seconds.
12. During the inflation, switch the
compressor off briefly, to check the tyre
pressure using the gauge mounted on the
compressor.
• It should not take longer than seven
minutes to inflate the tyre. If, after seven
minutes, the tyre has not yet reached
minimum pressure, the tyre should not
be used.
13. Once the tyre has been inflated, switch off
the compressor. If desired, the engine may
be turned off after the compressor has
been turned off.
14. Remove the power connector from the
auxiliary power socket.
15. Remove the inflation hose from the tyre
valve, by unscrewing it as quickly as
possible (count er-clockwise).
16. Replace the inflation hose protective cap
and the tyre valve cap.
17. Do not remove the sealant bottle from the
receiver.
18. Ensure that the tyre repair kit (including
the bottle and receiver caps) are placed
securely in the vehicle. You will need to
use the kit to check the tyre pressure after
approximately 3 km (2 miles), so ensure
they are easily accessible. 19.
Immediately drive the vehicle for
approximately 3 km (2 miles), to allow the
sealant to coat the inner surface of the tyre
and form a seal at the puncture.
Checking the tyre pressure after a repair
1.Drive the vehicle for 3 km (2 miles) then
stop in a safe place. Carry out a visual
examination of the tyres condition.
2. Make sure that the sealant container
section is in its original position.
3. Screw the inflation hos e connector firmly
onto the tyre valve.
4. Read the tyre pressure from the gauge.
5. If the pressure of the sealant filled tyre is
above 1.3 bar (19 lb/in²) adjust the
pressure to the correct value. See TYRE
CARE (page 217).
6. Ensure that the compressor switch is in
the off (O ) position and insert the power
cable connector into the auxiliary power
socket.
If the vehicle is in a well ventilated area,
start the engine.
WARNINGS
When driving the vehicle, if you
experience vibr ations, abnormal
steering, or noises, reduce speed
immediately. Drive with extreme caution and
reduced speed, to the first safe place to stop
the vehicle. Visually examine the tyre and
check its pressure. If there are any signs of
damage or deformity to the tyre, or the tyre
pressure is below 1.3 bar (19 lb/in²), do not
continue driving.
Consult a tyre repair centre or your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer, for
advice concerning the replacement of
a tyre after using a tyre repair kit.

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.

241
Fuses

CHANGING A FUSE
Note: Jaguar recommend that owners do not
remove or replace rela ys. It is recommended
that you seek qualified assistance in the event
of a rela y failure.
Always switch off the i gnition and the affected
electrical circuit, be fore replacing a fuse.
Fuse failure is identifi ed by an inoperative
circuit.
A special tool for remo ving and replacing Mini
fuses is provided in the engine compartment
fuse box, together with spare fuses. Two types of fuses are fitted in the fuse boxes:
1.
Mini-type
2. J-Case
If a spare fuse is used, renew it (or have it
renewed) with a fuse of the same amperage
rating.
Push the tool onto the suspect fuse and
withdraw it.
If the wire in the fuse is broken, the fuse has
blown.
Fit a new fuse using the tool.
Checking or renewing a blown fuse
J-Case fuses ( 2) and relays should only be
replaced by a qualified technician.
Fuses are colour coded according to the
amperage and the rating is also marked on
each fuse.
CAUTIONS
Always turn off the ignition system and
the affected electrical circuit, before
replacing a fuse.
Fit Jaguar approved replacement fuses
of the same rating and type, or fuses of
matching specification. Using an incorrect
fuse may result in damage to the vehicle's
electrical system, and can result in a fire.
No attempt should be made to repair a
fuse that has blown.
If the replacement fuse blows after
installation, the system should be
checked by your Dealer /Authorised Repairer.
