WARNINGS
The vehicle should not be parked over
long dry grass or other combustible
material, particul arly during dry
weather. As the heat ge nerated by the exhaust
and emission control systems may be
sufficient to start a fire.
Before exiting the vehicle, ensure that
P park is selected and the park brake
applied. When exiting the vehicle,
ensure that the Jaguar Smart Key is removed
from the vehicle.

Driving hints

ECONOMICAL DRIVING
There are two main factors which influence fuel
economy, the way the vehicle is driven and
maintenance.
Driving tips for economy
•Avoid unnecessary jour neys, especially
short stop-start trips.
• Accelerate smoothly and gently from a
stand still.
• Allow time to brake gently and smoothly.
• Be aware of traffic and road conditions
ahead, and take action in time to avoid
hard braking or acceleration.
• When stationary apply the park brake, and
select neutral.
• Turn off the air conditioning when not
needed.
Maintenance and fuel economy
Regular servicing by a Dealer/Authorised
Repairer, along with regular checks by the
driver are essential fo r vehicle longevity and
fuel economy.
The condition of the engine (oils, filters, spark
plugs, settings etc.) tyre pressures, and wheel
alignment, will all have a bearing on fuel
economy. For this reason it is essential that the
vehicle is checked regularly by the driver and
serviced by an approved Dealer/Authorised
Repairer at the correct intervals.
Note: If you are in any doubt about the
maintenance requirement s, intervals, or
checks required, contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer for advice.

Fuel and refuelling
178

Resetting the fuel cut-off
1.Switch the ignition off and wait for one
minute.
2. Turn the ignition on for 30 seconds.
3. Check the vehicle thor oughly for fuel leaks.
If a leak is detected switch the ignition off
immediately.
• Do not start the vehicle if a leak is
present. Seek qualified advice and have
the vehicle recovered.
4. If no leaks are detected, start the vehicle.
FUEL FILLER FLAP
Note: The fuel filler flap cannot be opened
when the alarm system is armed.
The fuel filler flap is located on the right-hand
side of the vehicle, at the rear.
1. Ensure that the vehicle is fully unlocked.
Push and release the rear of the flap (in the
area indicated in the illustration) to
unlatch.
2. Pull the fuel filler flap open. The label on
the inside of the flap indicates the correct
fuel for the vehicle. 3.
Twist the cap counte r-clockwise to undo.
4. Stow the cap on the lip provided on the top
of the hinge arm, as shown.
When replacing the cap, turn it clockwise until
the ratchet clicks. Failur e to do so could cause
the Engine malfunction warning indicator to
illuminate.
To close the filler flap, pus h the flap closed until
it latches.
WARNING
The fuel cut-off should never be reset
if you can smell fuel, or a leak can be
seen. Doing so can lead to a fire
which may cause persona l injury or death.
WARNINGS
Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
allow the pressure to release before
fully removing the cap to avoid fuel
spillage due to rapid expansion.
Take note of all warnings and
instructions given on the label affixed
to the inside of the fi ller flap. Failure to
do so may result in injury or death.

Maintenance

Weekly checks
•Engine oil level (non- electronic dipstick
vehicles). See ENGINE OIL CHECK - V6
Petrol engines (page 197).
• Engine coolant check. See ENGINE
COOLANT CHECK (page 204).
• Brake fluid level. See BRAKE FLUID
CHECK (page 206).
• Power steering fluid level. See POWER
STEERING FLUID CHECK (page 208).
• Screen washer fluid level. See WASHER
FLUID CHECK (page 209).
• Tyre pressures and condition. See TYRE
CARE (page 217).
• Operate air conditioning. See AUTOMATIC
CLIMATE CONTROL (page 116).
Note: The engine oil level on V6 petrol engines,
should be checked more frequently if the
vehicle is driven for prolonged periods at high
speeds. The engine oil level on diesel and V8
petrol engines is checked automatically at all
times by the electronic dipstick.
Severe driving conditions
When a vehicle is operated in severe
conditions, more frequent attention must be
paid to servicing requirements.
Severe driving conditions include:
• Driving in dusty and/or sandy conditions.
• Driving on rough and/or muddy roads
and/or wading. •
Driving in extremely hot or cold
conditions.
• Driving in areas using road salt or other
corrosive materials.
• Towing a trailer or driving in mountainous
conditions.
Contact your Dealer/Authorised Repairer for
advice.
Emission control
Your vehicle is fitted with various items of
emission and evaporati ve control equipment,
designed to meet specific territorial
requirements. You should be aware that
unauthorised replacemen t, modification or
tampering with this equipment by an owner or
repair shop, may be unlawful and subject to
legal penalties.
In addition, engine se ttings must not be
tampered with. These have been established to
ensure that your vehicle complies with
stringent exhaust em ission regulations.
Incorrect engine settings may adversely affect
exhaust emissi ons, engine performance and
fuel consumption. The y may also cause high
temperatures, which will result in damage to
the catalytic converter and the vehicle.
Road testing dynamometers (rolling
roads)
Because your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock
brakes, it is essential that any dynamometer
testing is carried out only by a qualified person,
familiar with the dynamometer testing and
safety procedures practised by
Dealers/Authorised Repairers.
CAUTION
Ensure that you take notice of any
message centre information and
warnings relating to engi ne oil level (V8 petrol
and diesel engines only). Top-up the level
when advised to do so. See ENGINE OIL
CHECK - V8 Petrol engines (page 199).

Wheels and tyres
218

All of the vehicle's tyres (including the spare)
should be checked regularly for damage, wear
and distortion. If you are in any doubt about the
condition of a tyre, have it checked immediately
by a tyre repair centre or your
Dealer/Authorised repairer.
Checking the tyre pressures
The recommended tyre pressures are listed on
a placard label fixed to the end of the left-hand
side door. These pressures provide optimum
ride and handling charac teristics for all normal
operating conditions.
If winter tyres are fitted, please refer to the
winter tyre pressure information. SeeUSING
WINTER TYRES (page 223).
In the interest of safe ty, reliability and fuel
efficiency, check the tyres, including the spare,
for condition and pressu re on a weekly basis
and before long journeys.
Do not check tyre pressures immediately after
the vehicle has travelled in excess of 1.6 km
(1.0 mile). Tyre temperatures and pressures
increase when running. Deflating a warm tyre
to the recommended pressure will result in
under-inflation.
If tyre pressures are checked while the vehicle
is inside a protected covered area, e.g. a
garage, and subsequent ly driven in lower
outdoor temperatures, tyre under-inflation
could occur.
A slight pressure loss occurs naturally with
time. If this exceeds 0.14 bar (2 lbf/in², 14 kPa,)
per week, have the cause investigated and
rectified by qualified assistance.
Tyre pressures (including the spare) should be
checked at least once a week with normal
on-road use, but should be checked daily if the
vehicle is used off-road. Always check the tyre
pressures before setti ng off on a long journey.
If it is necessary to check tyre pressures when
the tyres are warm, you should expect the
pressures to have increased by up to
0.3-0.4 bar (4-6 lbf/in², 30-40 kpa). Do not
reduce the tyre pressures to the cold inflation
pressure under these circumstances. Allow the
tyres to cool fully before adjusting the
pressures.
If the vehicle has been parked in
strong sunlight, or used in high
ambient temperatures do not reduce
the tyre pressures. move the vehicle into the
shade and allow the tyres to cool before
re-checking the pressures.
WARNING
Tyre pressures should be checked
regularly using an accurate pressure
gauge, when the tyres are cold.
Failure to properly maintain your tyre
pressures could increase the risk of tyre failure
resulting in loss of vehicle control and
personal injury.
