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.

CHARGING THE VEHICLE BATTERY
CHANGING THE VEHICLE BATTERY
Battery disposal
Used batteries must be disposed of
correctly as they contain a number of
harmful substances. Seek advice on
disposal from your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer, and/or your local
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.

Portable audio

PORTABLE AUDIO
Portable audio overview
The portable audio system is located in the
centre console cubby box. You can connect a
variety of audio devices, including iPods, via
this interface to the audio system.
If you are connecting an iPod or mass storage
device, you can use the touch-screen to
operate and search the device. Many of the
controls are similar to those available for CD
play.
The devices that you can connect to the
portable audio interface include:
• USB mass storage devices, for example
memory stick.
• iPod.
• Auxiliary device (no to uch-screen control).
Note: The portable audio interface supports
the following iPods:
•iPod (generations 3-5).
•iPod Mini.
•iPod Nano (generations 1-3).
•iPod Photo.
•iPod Classic.
Note: The audio system will play MP3, WMA,
WAV and AAC files. Note:
Some MP3 players ha ve their own file
system that is not suppor ted by this system. To
use your MP3 player, y ou must set it to USB
Removable Device or Mass Storage Device
mode (see manufacturer's information for
further details). Only music that has been
added to the device in this mode can be played
via the vehicle's portable audio system.
Note: The system will suppor t devices with a
storage capacity up to 256 GB (approximately
65 000 tracks).
CAUTION
We recommend that you replace the
rubber cover when a portable device is
not plugged in. This will prevent damage to the
system. The cover is not waterproof.
Please disconnect your iPod when
leaving the vehicle. Failure to do so may
result in the iPod battery discharging.

The Bluetooth in-car telephone system allows
certain mobile phones to be used hands-free in
your vehicle. There is no need to connect the
mobile phone to a cradle or cable.
Bluetooth® is a registered trademark of
Bluetooth SIG, Inc.
Please refer to the Owner section of the Jaguar
website at www.jaguar.com , for a list of
compatible phones. Altern atively, please refer
to your Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Note: The Bluetooth technology phones listed
on Jaguar.com, have been tested for
compatibility with Jaguar vehicles.
Performance will vary, based on phone
software version, covera ge and your wireless
carrier. Phones are warranted by their
manufacturer, not Jaguar.
If your mobile phone battery charge becomes
low it may switch off its Bluetooth link to the
vehicle. This is normal operation for mobile
phones, to help preserve the remaining battery
charge. In this event, the touch-screen will
display a phone connection message.
The mobile phone must be paired and docked
with the vehicle system before use.
See TELEPHONE PAIRING AND DOCKING
(page 309). Once paired and docked, the
phone can be operated via the steering wheel
switches or the touch-screen. The mobile
phone doesn’t need to be physically connected
to the vehicle, it can be left in a jacket pocket,
for instance. Calls are routed through the
vehicle’s audio speake rs, and a dedicated
microphone is fitted within the overhead
console and is directionally biased towards the
driver.
You can use the system to answer or reject
incoming calls, make outgoing calls or alter the
call volume. The system does not support SMS
text messaging. Note:
The vehicle ignition system must be on
and the touch-screen system must be active, in
order to use the phone.
Call volume
The volume of telephone calls can be adjusted
for hands-free operation. To adjust the volume,
operate the audio system’s volume control
during a phone call.
If the audio system is in use when the phone
becomes active, the audio system source is
suppressed for the duration of the call.
Charging your phone
It is possible to use the in-car 12V/USB socket
to charge your mobile phone. Refer to the
mobile phone operating instructions for
charging information.
