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.

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).

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

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.

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.
