PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
The vehicle has been designed, built and
tested, to cope with a variety of driving
conditions, some of which can place the
severest possible demands on control systems
and components. As such, fitting replacement
parts and accessories that have been
developed and tested to the same stringent
standards as the orig inal components, will
safeguard the continued reliability, safety and
performance of your vehicle.
To augment the vehicle's already impressive
performance, a comprehe nsive range of Jaguar
approved spare parts and accessories is
available. Jaguar parts are the only parts built to original
equipment specificati
ons and approved by
Jaguar designers; this means that every single
part and accessory has been rigorously tested
by the same engineeri ng team that designed
and built the vehicle.
A full list and description of all accessories is
available from your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer.
Electrical equipment
Always consult your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer before fitting any accessory.
Fitting inferior quality parts or accessories,
may be dangerous and could invalidate the
vehicle warranty.
It is recommended that you always consult
your Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice
regarding the approval, suitability, installation
and use of any parts or accessories before
fitting.
WARNINGS
Do not fit non-approved parts and
accessories or carry out
non-approved alterations or
conversions. It may be dangerous and could
affect the safety of th e vehicle and occupants.
Also, the terms and conditions of the vehicle
warranty may be invalidated.
Jaguar will not accept any liability for
death, personal injury or damage to
property which may occur as a direct
result of fitment of non-approved accessories
or the carrying out of non-approved
conversions to Jaguar vehicles.
Jaguar strongly advise against
making any modifications to the
suspension or steering system. This
could seriously affe ct the handling and
stability of the vehicle leading to loss of control
or roll-over.
WARNING
It is extremely hazardous to fit or
replace parts or accessories, the
installation of which requires the
dismantling of, or addition to, either the
electrical or fuel systems.
