To renew the battery, follow the procedure
below:
1.Remove the key blade from the Jaguar
Smart Key. See USING THE REMOTE
CONTROL (page 17).
2. Remove the two side covers, one at a time,
by inserting a small, flat bladed
screwdriver between the cover and body
and lightly twist the screwdriver.
3. Insert the screwdriver between the two
body halves of th e Jaguar Smart Key.
Apply light pressure to the screwdriver and
separate the two halves.
4. Remove the printed circuit board, taking
care not to touch th e battery terminals.
Remove the old battery and dispose of it
safely.
5. Fit a new battery, type CR2032 (available
from your Dealer/Aut horised Repairer),
with the positive (+) downwards, in the
battery receptacle. Avoid touching the new
battery, as moisture/oil from the fingers
can reduce battery life and corrode the
contacts.
Refit the parts in the reverse order, ensuring
that they click securely into place.
Battery disposal
Used batteries must be disposed of
correctly, as they contain a number
of harmful substances. Seek advise
on disposal from your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer and/or your local
authority.

Seat belts

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Seat beltsSeat belt safety
WARNINGS
Seat belts are designed to bear upon
the bony structure of the body, and
should be worn low across the front
of the pelvis or the pe lvis chest and shoulders,
as applicable; wearing the lap section of the
belt across the abdominal area must be
avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection for
which they have been designed. A slack belt
will greatly reduce the protection afforded to
the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing with
polishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid . Cleaning may safely
be carried out using mild soap and water.
The belt should be replaced if
webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated or damaged.
It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in a
severe impact even if damage to the
assembly is not obvious.
Belts should not be worn with the
straps twisted.
E82942
WARNINGS
Do not carry hard, fragile or sharp
items between your person and the
seat belt. In an impact, the pressure
from the seat belt on such items can cause
them to break, which in turn may cause death
or serious injuries.
Each belt assembly must only be used
by one occupant; it is dangerous to
put a belt around a child being carried
on the occupant's lap.
The occupants of the front seats
should not travel with the seat back at
more than 30 degrees from upright.
Doing so will reduce the protection afforded by
the seat belt.
WARNINGS
Seat belts should be worn by all
vehicle occupants, for every journey,
no matter how short. Failure to do so,
will greatly increase the risk of death or
serious injury in the event of an accident.
Never wear just the la p belt or just the
shoulder belt of a lap/shoulder
diagonal seat belt. Both of these
actions are extremel y dangerous and may
increase your risk of injury.
No modifications or additions should
be made by the user which will either
prevent the seat belt adjusting
devices from operating to remove slack, or
prevent the seat belt assembly from being
adjusted to remove slack.
A slack seat belt offers a greatly reduced level
of occupant protect ion in an impact.

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.

Vehicle care

CLEANING THE ALLOY WHEELS
Wash the wheels with soap and water, this
should be done more frequently when the
wheels are exposed to heavy dirt deposits, salt,
clay etc. If you are unsure how often to clean
the wheels in particular conditions, seek advice
from your Dealer/A uthorised Repairer.
Jaguar approved wheel cleaner should be used
to remove heavy soiling.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Washing the vehicle paintwork
Remove heavy deposits of mud and dirt with a
hose before washing the vehicle.
When salt is used on the roads, wash the
vehicle immediately after encountering such
conditions. Clean undersid es and wheel arches
using a high pressure jet.
Wash the vehicle frequently using a sponge
and generous quantities of cold or luke warm
water containing a suitable car shampoo. Rinse
thoroughly and dry with a chamois leather or
synthetic substitute.
For best results, do not wash the vehicle under
strong sunlight. Always allow the vehicle to
cool down before washing.
Do not use a dry cloth to wipe dirty paintwork.
Dust and gritty substances are abrasive and
will scratch the paintwork. Remove dirt using a
cellulose sponge and plen ty of warm (never
hot) water. Rinse off with clean water and dry
using a clean, damp cham ois leather. Wash the
vehicle frequently.
CAUTION
Do not use non-approved, or acid based
wheel cleaners. These can damage the
wheel coating which may lead to corrosion of
the wheel rims.
CAUTIONS
Some high pressure cleaning systems
are sufficiently powe rful to penetrate
door and window seals, and damage trim and
door locks. Never aim the water jet directly at
the engine air intake, he ater air intakes, body
seals (doors, sunroof, windows etc.) or at any
components which may be damaged (lamps,
mirrors, exterior trim etc.).
Ensure that you read and comply with all
warnings and instruct ions supplied with
any cleaning products.
Never use cleaning products which are
not approved for use on vehicles.
CAUTION
Substances which are corrosive, such
as bird droppings, tree resin, dead
insects, tar spots, road salt and industrial fall
out, can damage the vehic le's paintwork. Any
such deposits should be removed as soon as
possible to prevent damage.

engines
The oil consumption of an engine is influenced
by many factors. Unde r high loads an engine
will consume more oil than usual. Diesel
engines consume slightly more oil than petrol
engines.
Above normal oil consumption should be
expected when the engine is new.
Check the oil level weekly , when the engine is
cold and with the vehicle resting on level
ground.
E95160
E95161
E96102
CAUTIONS
If the message ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
LOW is displayed, st op the engine as
soon as it is safe to do so and seek qualified
assistance. Do not start the engine until the
cause has been identified and rectified.
Your vehicle’s warranty may be
invalidated if damage is caused by the
use of improper engine oil. Low quality or
obsolete oils do not pr ovide the protection
required by modern, high performance
engines. Failure to use an oil that meets the
required specification could cause excessive
engine wear, a build up of sludge and deposits
and increased pollution. It could also lead to
engine failure.
Do not use oil additi ves of any type as
engine damage coul d occur. Use only
specified lubricants.
