Child safety

CHILD SEATS
The seat belts fitted to your vehicle are
designed for adults and larger children. For
their safety, it is very important for all infants
and children under 12 years of age to be
restrained in a suitable child safety seat
appropriate to their age and size.
Children are always safest when seated in a
rear seating position.
If it is essential that a child travels in the front
passenger seat, Jaguar recommends that the
following preparations are made before fitting
the child restraint.
• Adjust the front passenger seat fully
rearwards.
• Adjust the lumbar support to its minimum
support position.
• Adjust the seat cushion to its highest
position. If cushion front tilt adjustment is
possible, adjust it to its lowest position.
• Adjust the seat back to the fully upright
position.
• Adjust the seat be lt adjustable upper
anchorage to its lowest position.
In some countries, legislation prohibits
children travelling in the front of a vehicle.
Ensure that you are familiar with the legislation
in force where the vehicle is being used and are
in full compliance.
WARNINGS
Do not use a child restraint on a seat
protected by an airbag in front of it.
There is a risk of death or serious
injury when the airbag deploys.
Crash statistics show that children
are safest when properly restrained in
a child or infant restraint system that
is secured in a rear seating position.
For optimum safety , children should
travel in the rear of the vehicle at all
times; front passenge r seat travel is
not recommended. However, if it is
essential that a child travels in the front, set the
vehicle seat fully rearward and seat the child in
an approved forward-facing child seat. Do not
use a rear-facing child seat - an inflating airbag
could impact with the seat and cause serious
injury.
Do not use a forward facing child seat
until the child using it is above the
minimum weight of 9 kg (20 lb.) and
able to sit up unaided. Up to the age of two, a
child's spine and neck are not sufficiently
developed to avoid injury in a frontal impact.
Do not allow a baby or infant to be
held or carried on the lap. The force of
a crash can increase effective body
weight by as much as thirty times, making it
impossible to hold onto the child.
Children typically require the use of a
booster seat appropriate to their age
and size, thereby enabling the seat
belts to be properly fitted, reducing the risk of
injury in a crash. Children could be
endangered in a crash if their child restraints
are not properly secured in the vehicle.Do not use a chil d seat that hooks
over the seat back. This type of seat
cannot be satisfacto rily secured and
is unlikely to be safe for your child.

• UF = Suitable for forward facing Universal
category restraints approved for this mass
group.
• X = Not suitable for child restraint fitment
in this mass group.
* Jaguar recommend that the front passenger
seat be positioned fully rearward, with the
cushion adjusted to the highest position when
installing child restraints.
Note: Ages given are approximate. In case of
doubt, the child’s weight, not age, should be
used when considering an appropriate child
seat.BOOSTER CUSHIONS
In a situation where a child is too large to fit
into a child safety seat, but is still too small to
safely fit the three point belt properly, a booster
seat is recommended for maximum safety.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
fitting and use, then adjust the seat belt to suit.

Installing an ISOFIX child seat
To install an ISOFIX child seat:-
1. Raise or remove the head restraint from
the relevant seat.
2. Lift the velcro flap to expose the ISOFIX
locking mechanism.
3. Slide the child seat into the locking
mechanism. 4.
Test the security of the child restraint. To
do this attempt to pull the restraint away
from the vehicle seat and twist the restraint
from side to side. Even if the restraint
appears secure you s hould still check the
anchor points visually to ensure correct
attachment.
Note: Always ensure that if an upper tether is
provided, it is fitted and tightened correctly.

Fuel and refuelling

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures shown below have been calculated using a standard testing
procedure (the new EC test proc edure from Directive 99/100/EC), and produced in accordance with
The Passenger Car Fuel Cons umption (Amendment) Order 1996.
Under normal use, a vehicle's actu al fuel consumption figures may differ from those achieved
through the test procedure, de pending on driving technique, ro ad and traffic conditions,
environmental factors, ve hicle load and condition.
Urban cycle
The urban test cycle is carried out from a cold start and cons ists of a series of accelerations,
decelerations and periods of stea dy speed driving and engine idling. The maximum speed attained
during the test is 50 km/h (30 mph) with an average speed of 19 km/h (12 mph).
Extra-urban cycle
The extra-urban test cycle is carried out immediatel y after the urban test. Approximately half of the
test comprises steady-speed driving, while the re mainder consists of a series of accelerations,
decelerations and engine idling . The maximum test speed is 120 km/h (75 mph) and the average
speed 63 km/h (39 mph). The test is carried out over a distance of 7 km (4.3 miles).
Combined
The combined figure is an average of the urban an d extra-urban test cycle results, which has been
weighted to take account of the differ ent distances covered during the two tests.
For additional information on fuel consumption figures and exhaust emissions, visit the Vehicle
Certification Agency (VCA) website at http://www.vcacarfueldata.org.uk/.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Weights and load capacities
Note: It is the driver's re sponsibility to ensure
that the maximum weights are not exceeded,
and that the load is distributed correctly within
the vehicle.
Information and values for the maximum
weights can be found in the Weights section.
See WEIGHTS (page 259).
Roof racks
LUGGAGE ANCHOR POINTS
Four load securing rings are provided in the
rear luggage area to assi st in safely securing
items carried.
Note: A range of approved luggage retention
accessories are available from your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.
REAR UNDER FLOOR STORAGE

Towing

TOWING A TRAILER (V6 petrol and
diesel vehicles only)
Note: It is the driver's responsibility to ensure
that the towing vehicle, and the trailer are being
used correctly, and in accordance with
manufacturers recommendations and any
applicable legislation. Your Dealer/Authorised Repairer and main
motoring and caravanni
ng organisation can
advise you on towing, towing weight capacities
and about regulations that apply in other
countries.
The following are important points of safety,
stability and comfort, upon which further
advice should be sought:
• Maximum braked towing weight is
permissible, provided that long periods of
uphill driving on gradients over 8% are not
undertaken.
• In high altitude mount ainous regions, the
thinner atmosphere can reduce engine
performance. Abov e 1000 metres (3250
feet), the stipulated maximum permitted
gross train weight mu st be reduced by
10% for every 1000 metres (3250 feet) in
altitude.
E95507
WARNINGS
Never exceed the maximum weights
for either the vehicle, or the trailer.
Doing so can cause accelerated wear
and damage to the ve hicle. It can also
adversely affect vehicle stability and braking,
which in turn can lead to loss of control and
increased braking distance resulting in a
rollover or crash.
To preserve handling and stability,
only fit Jaguar approved towing
accessories.
Never use towing eyes or lashing
points to tow a trailer. They have not
been designed for this purpose and
doing so may cause them to fail resulting in
injury or death.
When towing, do not exceed 100
km/h (60 mph) or 80 km/h (50 mph)
if a temporary spare wheel is in use.

185
Towing

RECOMMENDED TOWING WEIGHTS
Nose/tongue weight must be the greater of
50 kg (110 lbs) or 7% of the actual trailer
weight, up to the maximum tow hitch load.
Nose/tongue weight can be measured using a
proprietary brand of nose weight indicator.
If it is necessary to increase the nose/tongue
weight up to the maximu m allowed, the vehicle
load should be reduced accordingly. This
ensures that the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW),
and maximum rear axle load, are not exceeded.
Note: When towing the maximum permissible
gross vehicle weight can be increased by a
maximum of 100 kg (220 lb.) provided that the
road speed is limited to 100 km/h (60 mph).
Note: When calculating rear axle loading,
remember that the trailer nose/tongue weight,
the load in the vehicle's luggage area and the
weight of rear seat pa ssengers must all be
added together.
Towing weights - Australia only
The weight of a traile r must not exceed 1.5
times the towing vehicle’s weight. The
nose/tongue weight must be a minimum of 7%
of gross caravan/trai ler weight, up to a
maximum of 350 kg (722 lbs).
ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS
• The trailer should be parallel to the ground
when loaded and connected to the vehicle.
• When calculating the laden weight of the
trailer remember to include the weight of
the trailer, plus the weight of the load.
• If the load can be divided between the
vehicle and trailer, loading more weight
into the vehicle will generally improve
stability. Do not exceed the vehicle's
weight limits. See WEIGHTS (page 259).
• Ensure that all applic able regulations and
legislation are complied with when loading
and towing a trailer.
• Increase rear tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle to those for maximum vehicle
loading conditions.
• Ensure trailer tyre pressures are set to
trailer manufacturer' s recommendations.
• If the vehicle is loaded to maximum Gross
Vehicle Weight (GVW) the nose weight is
limited (see Towi ng weights table).
• Ensure that a suitable breakaway cable or
secondary coupling is used. Refer to the
trailer manufacturer' s instructions for
guidance.
• Ensure that the tow ball is secure.
• Check the operation of all trailer lights.
Maximum permissible
towing weights
Unbraked trailers 750 kg (1653 lb.) Trailers with
overrun brakes 1850 kg (4080 lb.)
Nose/Tongue weight 75 kg (165 lb.)
WARNING
Do not exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight (GVW), m aximum rear axle
weight, maximum trailer weight, or
nose/tongue weight. Exceeding any of these
limits could cause inst ability and loss of
control. See WEIGHTS (page 259).
WARNING
Do not loop the breakaway cable over
the tow ball as it may slide off.
