occurs, please visit your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer for rectification.

Pedestrian protection
66

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The pedestrian protection system has been
designed to reduce lower leg and head injuries
in the event of a frontal collision with a
pedestrian.
The bumper includes energy absorbing foam
and plastics in its cons truction to reduce leg
injuries and sensors th at detect the collision
with a pedestrian.
Deployment
During a pedestrian co llision, the sensors
initiate a bonnet deploy ment system that
releases the bonnet hinge system and raises
the rear edge of the bonnet by approximately
130 mm (5.1 inches).
This increases the gap between the bonnet and
the components within the engine
compartment e.g. engine, suspension etc. This
increased gap creates a cushion to mitigate
injury caused to the pedestrian.
The bonnet deployment system is active only
when the ignition is on and the vehicle is driven
between the speeds of approximately 20 km/h
(12 mph) and 45 km/h (28 mph).
AFTER DEPLOYMENT OF THE
PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION SYSTEM
The vehicle must be stopped as soon as it is
safe to do so.
The hazard warning lamp s will be activated and
can only be switched off by pressing the engine
START/STOP button to turn the engine off and
on again.
A warning message CHECK PEDESTRIAN
SYSTEM will appear on the message centre
and the vehicle should be transported to the
nearest Dealer/Author ised Repairer. The
vehicle must not be driven when the bonnet
has been deployed. See Vehicle recovery
(page 253).
Note: If the warning message CHECK
PEDESTRIAN SYSTEM appears in the message
centre when the bonnet ha s not been deployed,
the vehicle should be taken to the nearest
Dealer/Authorised Repairer immediately. It can
be driven.
If any significant damage occurs to the front
bumper it should be inspected by a
Dealer/Authorised Repairer as soon as
possible.
E94698
CAUTION
Do not attempt to open the bonnet if the
pedestrian protection system has been
deployed.

Vehicle care
188

Do not use household soaps or detergents. The
use of Jaguar Vehicle Shampoo is
recommended.
Note: The vehicle's brightwork should be
cleaned using a sponge and generous
quantities of cold or lukewarm water only.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a chamois
leather or synthetic substitute.
Using an automatic wash
Note: Regular use of automatic car washes

onto the conveyor.
2. Select N (Neutral) using the JaguarDrive
selector.
3. Press and release the engine START/STOP
button to stop the engine. The JaguarDrive

After leaving the car wash, switch on the
windscreen wiper immediately to remove water
and prevent a build up of wax.
Underbonnet cleaning
CAUTIONS
Commercially operated automatic car
washes, jet washes and power-operated
mops, are not recommen ded. The detergents
used can contain certain chemicals which
may, over time, be detrimental to some
exterior parts of the vehicle. Prolonged usage
of automatic car wash es and power-operated
mops will also cause fine scratches in the paint
surface.
Ensure that Auto wipe is not selected
when entering a car wash, or damage to
the wiper blades and arms can occur if they
operate during the wash cycle.
Ensure that when using an automatic
drive through car wash, N (Neutral) is
selected and that the ignition is left in
convenience mode for the duration of the
wash.
CAUTIONS
Do not use a high pr essure washer or
steam cleaner in the engine
compartment. Damage to components could
occur.
Ensure that the brake fluid reservoir is
kept dry at all times. Only use a clean,
dry cloth to clean the brake fluid cap and
reservoir.

BRAKE FLUID CHECK
If the quantity of fluid in the brake
reservoir drops below the
recommended level, a red warning
indicator in the instrume nt pack will illuminate
and the message BRAKE FLUID LOW will be
displayed in the message centre.
Note: If the warning indicator illuminates or the
message is displayed, while the vehicle is being
driven, stop the vehicle as soon as safety
permits by gently applying the brakes. Check
and top-up the fluid level if necessary.
Checking the fluid level
With the vehicle on level ground, check the
fluid level at least every week (more frequently
in high mileage or arduous operating
conditions).
The brake fluid reservoi r is located beneath a
cover on the raised platform to the rear of the
main underbonnet area. See ENGINE
COMPARTMENT OVERVIEW (page 196).
1. Release the catch.
2. Lift the cover forwards, then pull
rearwards, to release the hinges.
3. Clean the filler cap with a clean, dry cloth
before removing, to prevent dirt or
moisture from entering the reservoir.
WARNING
Seek qualified assistance immediately
if brake pedal travel is unusually long,
unusually short or if there is any
significant loss of br ake fluid. Driving under
such conditions could result in extended
stopping distances or co mplete brake failure.
WARNINGS
Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep
containers sealed a nd out of reach of
children. If accidental consumption is
suspected, seek medical attention
immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with
the skin or eyes, rinse immediately
with plenty of water.
Brake fluid is highl y inflammable. Do
not allow brake fluid to come into
contact with naked flames or other
sources of ignition (e.g. a hot engine) - a fire
may result.
Do not drive the vehicle with the fluid
level below the MIN mark.
