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.

RUNNING-IN
Apart from a few precautionary
recommendations, there are no strict
running-in procedures for this vehicle.
By observing the following advisory
precautions you will ensure maximum engine,
transmission and brake life for your vehicle:
Engine
• Allow the engine to reach operating
temperature before operating at engine
speeds over 3 500 rev/min.
• Vary the speed frequently.
• From 1 500 kilometres (940 miles)
onwards, gradually in crease performance
of the vehicle up to the permitted
maximum speed.
Engine oil consumption
A certain amount of oil consumption is normal.
The rate of consumpt ion will depend on the
following:
• The quality and viscosity of the oil.
• Climatic conditions.
• The speed at which th e engine is being
operated.
• Road conditions.
Drivers should expect above normal
consumption when the engi ne is new, and after
running-in if high speeds are sustained.
Brakes
To ensure that brake pa ds reach their optimum
wear and performance condition, usually
within 500 kilometres (300 miles), it is
recommended that the following points are
observed.
• Where possible, avoid heavy or harsh
braking, as this can result in damage to the
brake pads and discs.
• Avoid prolonged use of the brakes
(e.g. when descending severe gradients).
• Frequent light application of the brakes is
desirable. This helps to fully bed-in the
brake pads.
These running-in guidelines also apply when
new brake discs or pads have been fitted.
Final drive unit
During the first 1 500 kilometers (940 miles):
•Avoid full throttle a pplications and do not
exceed 190 km/h (120 mph). Observe the
national speed limits in the country in
which you are travelling.
• Do not participate in motor racing events,
test track days, sports driving schools or
similar for the first 8 000 kilometers
(4 975 miles).

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.

175
Fuel and refuelling

Unleaded fuel
Unleaded fuel must be used for the emission
control system to operate properly. Its use will
also reduce spark plug f ouling, exhaust system
corrosion and engine oil deterioration.
Octane rating
The recommended unleade d fuel should have
an octane rating of 95 RON (Research Octane
Number) or higher. Howe ver, you may also use
unleaded fuel with a lower RON, but
performance will be reduced. The minimum
octane rating for fuel to be used is 91 RON.
Note: Using unleaded fuel wi th a lower octane
rating than recommended, can cause
persistent heavy engi ne knock (a metallic
rapping noise). If severe , this can lead to
engine damage.
If a heavy knock is dete cted, even when using
fuel to the recommended octane rating, or if
you hear knock while ho lding a steady speed
on level roads, consult your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer to have the problem corrected. Failure
to do so is misuse of the vehicle, for which
Jaguar Cars is not responsible. However,
occasional, light knock for a short time while
accelerating or driv ing up hill, may occur.
ALTERNATIVE FUELS FOR PETROL
ENGINES
Fuels containing alcohol
Some fuel suppliers sell fuel containing alcohol
without advertising its presence. Where
uncertainty exists, check with the service
centre operator. Note:
Some difficulty in starting may be
encountered when using alcohol blended fuel.
Ethanol
Fuels containing up to 10% Ethanol (grain
alcohol) may be used. Ensure that the fuel has
octane ratings no lower than those
recommended for unleaded fuel. Most drivers
will not notice any opera ting difference with
fuel containing Ethanol. If a difference is
detected, the use of c onventional unleaded fuel
should be resumed.
Methanol
Some fuels contain Meth anol (Methyl or wood
alcohol). If you use fuels containing Methanol
the fuels must also contain co-solvents and
corrosion inhibitors fo r Methanol. Also, do not
use fuels which contain more than 10%
Methanol even if they contain co-solvents and
corrosion inhibitors. Fuel system damage or
vehicle performance pr oblems resulting from
the use of such fuels is not the responsibility of
Jaguar, and may not be covered under the
warranty.
CAUTIONS
Fuel containing alc ohol can cause paint
damage, which may not be covered
under the warranty.
CAUTIONS
This vehicle is not suitable for use with
fuels containing more than 10%
Ethanol.
Do not use E85 fuels (85% Ethanol
content). Equipment necessary for the
use of fuels containing more than 10% Ethanol
is not fitted to this vehicle. If E85 fuels are
used, serious engine a nd fuels system damage
will occur.
CAUTION
Wherever possible avoid using fuel
containing Methanol.

Fuel and refuelling
176

Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE)
Unleaded fuel containing an oxygenate known
as MTBE can be used provided that the ratio of
MTBE to conventional fuel does not exceed
15%. MTBE is an Ether based compound
derived from Petroleum, which has been
specified by several refiners as the substance
to enhance the Octane rating of fuel.
Reformulated gasoline
Several petroleum comp anies have announced
the availability of reformulated fuels. These
fuels are specially formulated to further reduce
vehicle emissions. Jagua r fully supports all
efforts to protect and maintain ambient air
quality and encourages the use of reformulated
gasoline, where available.
DIESEL ENGINED VEHICLES
Use only high quality diesel fuel according to
EN590 or equivalent.
The quality of diesel fu el is variable, depending
on geographic location . Always use premium
or the highest quality fuel available in your
locality. High quality fuel ensures a longer life
for your engine components. Lower grade fuel
contains higher levels of sulphur, which is
detrimental to engine components. If low
quality fuel is used, light coloured smoke may
be evident at the exhaust.
Note: Jaguar vehicles ar e capable of running
with up to a 5% blend of bio-diesel, in
accordance with European Standard EN590. Prolonged use of additives is not
recommended. Do not add paraffin or petrol to
diesel fuels.
Winter grade diesel fuel
To make sure of relia
ble diesel engine
operation during cold seasonal periods, Winter
grade fuel must be used . This fuel is normally
available from fuel retailers during these
periods and the fuel companies adjust the fuel
quality to suit climatic conditions.
If the vehicle is not filled with Winter grade
diesel fuel, it is recommended that the engine
is idled for a period of over two minutes after
starting, to prevent fuel solidification during
operation.CAUTION
Do not use RME (bio-d iesel) except in
the case of those propr ietary diesel fuels
which contain a mix of up to 5%. Jaguar can
accept no responsibility for damage caused by
using RME in concentrat ions greater than 5%.
CAUTIONS
If you inadvertently fill your vehicle with
petrol instead of di esel, do not attempt
to start the engine. Contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer im mediately. Attempting
to start the engine with petrol in the fuel tank,
will cause extensive dama ge to the engine and
fuel system, which will not be covered by your
Jaguar warranty.
Jaguar cars can ac cept no responsibility
for any damage caused by running your
vehicle with petrol or ve getable oil in the fuel
tank.

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.
