Brakes
144
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Brake pads
Brake pads require a period of bedding in when
new. Drive with extra caution for the first
500 km (300 miles) to avoid the need for heavy
braking.
Brake pad wear warning
When the brake pads are wearing low, the
warning message BRAKE PADS LOW is
displayed in the message centre. Arrange for
your vehicle to be se en by your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer at the earliest opportunity.
Wet conditions
Driving through heavy ra in or water can have
an adverse effect on braking efficiency. Under
such circumstances, it is recommended that
you lightly a pply the brakes intermittently to
dry the brakes.
ABS warning indicator
If this amber warning indicator
illuminates while driving and/or
ABS FAULT is displayed in the
message centre, drive with extra caution, avoid
heavy braking where possible, and seek
qualified assistance as soon as possible.
If this red warning indicator
illuminates while driving and/or the
message LOW BRAKE FLUID is
displayed in the message centre, check the
brake fluid level at the earliest opportunity and
top-up as required. See BRAKE FLUID CHECK
(page 206).
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ABS
ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) allows
maximum brake pressure, and thus maximum
braking efficiency, to be applied, and prevents
the road wheels locking. This allows the driver
to retain steering control during heavy braking
under most road conditions.
ABS optimises tyre to road adhesion under
maximum braking conditions, though it cannot
provide increased cornering ability.
WARNINGS
Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal whilst the vehicle is in motion.
This may cause a light application of
the brakes, which can result in overheating,
reduced brake performance, and excessive
brake wear.
Never allow the vehicle to coast
(freewheel) with the engine turned
off. The engine must be running to
provide full braking assistance. The brakes will
still function with the e ngine off, but far more
pressure will be required to operate them.
If the red brake warning indicator
illuminates, safely bring the vehicle to
a stop, as quickly as possible. Seek
qualified assistance before proceeding.
Never place non-approved floor
matting or any ot her obstructions
under the brake pedal. This restricts
pedal travel and braking efficiency.
WARNINGS
ABS cannot overcome the physical
limitations of braking distance. Nor
can it overcome the lack of grip on a
road surface (e.g. aquaplaning on water).
Braking distance is increased on a
slippery surface. This applies to all
vehicles, even those fitted with ABS.
The driver should not be tempted to
take risks when driving, in the hope
that ABS will correct errors of
judgement. In all cases it remains the driver's
responsibility to driv e with due care and
attention, payi ng particular attention to the
effects of speed, weather, road conditions etc.

Driving dynamics
172
Note: In rare circumstances, when TracDSC is
selected or DSC is o ff, high acceleration on
rough roads may cause DSC to switch back on.
This prevents high loads on the vehicle
driveline. DSC will su bsequently remain on,
unless TracDSC is selected or DSC is switched
off manually.
Stability control indicator
If there is a fault, the warning
indicator will ill uminate in the
instrument panel and the message
centre will display DSC NOT AVAILABLE with
an amber backlight.
It is safe to drive the vehicle, but the DSC
system will not activa te under wheel spin or
slide conditions. You should seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
Adaptive dynamics
(Supercharged vehicles only)
Jaguar Adaptive dy namics continuously
monitors the road a nd driver inputs and
optimises the vehicle suspension settings for
ride comfort and control.
The adaptive dynamics system is linked to
Dynamic mode, modifying the suspension
settings for a more sporting character.
If the message centre displays the message
ADAPTIVE DYNAMICS FAULT , a fault has been
detected in the adaptive dynamics system.
Seek qualified assistan ce as soon as possible.
Active Differential Control (E-diff)
(Supercharged vehicles only)
The E-diff improves trac tion when one driven
wheel has more grip than the other. This
improves progress out of corners and on
patchy or uneven surfaces. The E-diff can also
increase stability in oversteer situations,
depending on road c onditions and driver
inputs. Settings for the E-diff are made automatically,
without the need for driver selection.
If there is a fault with the E-diff system, the
message centre will display
EDIFF SYSTEM
FAULT . If DSC is off, then TracDSC will be
selected automatically. The driver can still
switch between DSC mode s, as normal and the
vehicle is safe to dr ive, but seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
Note: If the E-diff is active continuously for an
extended period (e.g. on a patchy surface with
DSC off) then the E-diff may be temporarily
deactivated to prevent ov erheating. If DSC is
off, then TracDSC will be selected
automatically. The mess age centre will display
EDIFF NOT AVAILABLE . The driver can still
switch between DSC modes as normal and the
E-diff will become availa ble again automatically
when it has cool ed sufficiently.

ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
Checking the coolant level
The coolant level in the expansion tank should
be checked at least weekly (more frequently in
high mileage or severe operating conditions).
Always check the level when the system is
cold.
Ensure the coolant level is maintained between
the level indicator mark s located on the inside
of the expansion tank filler neck.
If the level has fallen appreciably, suspect
leakage or overheatin g and arrange for the
vehicle to be examined by a qualified
technician.

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.
