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.

RUN FLAT TYRES
Run-flat tyres can be identified by the lettering
RSC on the sidewall. The tyre construction
utilises a specially reinforced sidewall, which
allows the vehicle to be driven at restricted
speeds, even when the tyre is depressurised.
Run-flat tyres can only be fitted to special rims,
constructed for ru n-flat tyre use.
A tyre pressure monitoring system is
mandatory when the vehicle is fitted with
run-flat tyres. See TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM (page 234).
If the tyre has deflated, the vehicle should be
driven with caution, as handling characteristics
will be different compared to a fully inflated
tyre.
If the vehicle is fully la den with passengers and
luggage, the maximum di stance that can be
completed on a fully deflated tyre, is
approximately 80 kilo metres (50 miles).
Stop immediately if the tyre construction
begins to break down or if the tyre dislodges
from the wheel rim. Typi cally, this will be
accompanied by excessive vibration.
A tyre driven in a defl ated condition must be
replaced as s oon as possible. Vehicles fitted with run-flat tyres are not fitted
with a spare wheel or jacking equipment.
Therefore, run-flat tyre
s should be replaced
with the same type of tyre.
TOOL KIT
Tool kit contents
1. Jack.
2. Wheel brace.
3. Chock.
4. Locking wheel nut adaptor.
5. Towing eye.
Note: When returning the tool kit to its stowage
position, hook the T-bar of the clamp over the
jack handle, to se cure in position.
Note: The jack requi res occasional
maintenance. Examine the jack for wear,
damage or corrosion and lubricate the moving
parts.
WARNING
If a run-flat tyre is deflated, maximum
vehicle speed must not exceed
80 km/h (50 mph).
E91708
WARNING
After use, the tool kit should be
returned to the under floor storage
area and correctly stowed. Do not
leave the tool kit or it s components loose in the
storage area, as they can prove hazardous
during an impact or sudden manoeuvre.

Tightening the wheel nuts
Using the wheel nut wrench, lightly tighten the
wheel nuts alternately using the sequence
shown in the illustration.
Lower the jack and tighten the wheel nuts
alternately. Do not over tighten by using foot
pressure or extension bars on the wheel nut
wrench.
At the earliest opportuni ty have the wheel nuts
tightened with a torque wrench to 125 Nm
(92 lb.ft).
This torque must not be exceeded.
TYRE REPAIR KIT
Your vehicle may not be equipped with a spare
tyre. If this is the case, in its place in the rear
underfloor storage compartment, you will find
a Jaguar tyre repair kit (except where run-flat
tyres are fitted). The Jaguar tyre repair kit can
be used to repair one tyre and it is essential
that you read the following guide before
attempting to repair a tyre.
The Jaguar tyre repair kit seals most punctures
caused by nails, or si milar items, with a
maximum diameter of 6 mm (1/4 inch).
Note: The sealant used in the tyre repair kit has
a shelf life and the expiry date is shown on the
tyre sealant bottle. Ensure that the container is
replaced before the expiry date.

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.

Tyre pressure warning with speed
If the vehicle is to be driven at speeds in excess
of 160 km/h (100 mph), the tyre pressures
should be increased as stated in this handbook
or on the placard label. Failure to increase the
tyre pressures and driving in excess of
160 km/h (100 mph), will illuminate the yellow
warning telltale and display a text message
TYRE PRESSURES LOW FOR SPEED . In the
event of this warning be ing displayed, vehicle
speed should be reduced
Temporary use spare wheel and tyre
change
If the temporary use spare wheel is fitted the
system will automatically recognise the change
in wheel positions. The n after approximately
ten minutes of driv ing above 25 km/h
(18 mph), a message TYRE NOT MONITORED
will be displayed accompanied by illumination
of the warning telltale and the corresponding
block in the vehicle graphic.
The warning telltale will initially flash and will
subsequently revert to continuous illumination.
Extended use of the temporary use spare wheel
will produce an additional text message TYRE
PRESSURE SYSTEM FAULT .
This TPM system display sequence will be
activated at every ignition cycle until the
temporary use spare wheel is replaced by a
fully operational full size wheel and tyre
assembly.
Always replace the temporary use wheel before
having TPM system faults investigated. The
fault may well be rectified with the fitment of a
fully operational full size running tyre in lieu of
the temporary use spare wheel assembly.
Tyre changing
Always have your tyres serviced or changed by
a qualified engineer.
Care must be taken to avoid contact between
the bead of the tyre and the sensor during
removal and refitting of the tyre, otherwise the
sensor may become damaged and or
inoperable.
Sensors can be removed from the wheel by the
unscrewing of the va lve retention nut.
Replacement sensor
Should the sensor require replacing, it should
be carried out by a Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
A replacement sensor must be fitted to a
running wheel in order to be recognised by the
system. The vehicle needs to be stationary for
15 minutes during the se nsor fitment before
the system is ready to detect the new sensor.
The vehicle must be driven for a minimum of
fifteen minutes after the sensor change, and
then remain stationary for fifteen minutes to
activate full TPM system operation.
If the TPM system warning for any wheel does
not clear, even after ensuring correct inflation
and driving for more than ten minutes above
25 km/h (18 mph), you should seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Valve stem seal, washer, nut, valve core
and cap should be replaced at every tyre
change. Valve stem seal, washer and nut must
be replaced if valve re tention nut is loosened.
Sensor units and nuts must be refitted using
correct torque figures and associated profile.
Damage to the vehicle may result if these
precautions are not taken.
