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.

Wheels and tyres

USING WINTER TYRES
Winter tyres are more suitable during extremes
of low temperatures, snow and ice and will
considerably improve the vehicle’s handling
during these conditions.
Do not exceed 240 km/h (150 mph) when
using Jaguar approved winter tyres.
Winter tyres must be fitted to all four wheels.
Approved winter tyre sizes
Front :
• Dunlop Wintersport M3 - 235/55R17 99H,
245/45R18 96V, 245/45R18 100V,

Winter tyre pressures
USING SNOW CHAINS
Snow chains, of the recommended type, can
only be fitted to rear wheels. They should not
be used on temporary use spare wheels.
You should contact your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer for details and availability of approved
snow chains.
The maximum speed when using snow chains
is 50 km/h (30 mph).
Remove the snow chains immediately the
roads are clear of snow.
Ensure the fitting instructions supplied with the
snow chains are kept in a safe place, for
example, with this literature pack.
Note: When using snow chains, select
JaguarDrive Control Winter mode with DSC
switched on.
CAUTION
Tyres with an all season icon or M+S
have a level of winter performance and
need not be replaced.
Up to 240 km/h (150 mph)
Front 2.0 bar (30 lbf/in², 207 kPa)
Rear 2.3 bar (33 lbf/in², 230 kPa)
CAUTION
It is essential that only snow chains of
the recommended type are fitted, other
snow chains may cause damage to the vehicle.

Wheels and tyres

CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
If a wheel change is required, pull off the road
completely. Park on ground which is as level
and solid as possible. Ensure that the vehicle is
clear of any objects that will obstruct the safe
removal of the wheel. Switch on hazard
warning lamps and, where legally required,
display the warning triangle.
Regular maintenance of tyres contributes not
only to safety, but to the designed function of
the vehicle. Road-holdi ng, steering and braking
are especially vulnerable to incorrectly
pressurised, badly fitted or worn tyres.
Tyres of the correct size and type, but of
different make can have widely varying
characteristics. It is therefore recommended
that Jaguar approved tyres are fitted to all
wheels.
Temporary use spare wheel
Observe the following wa rnings before using
the wheel:
WARNINGS
Always ensure replacement tyres
have the correct rating and
specifications (e.g. load index, size,
speed rating) for your vehicle.
When using tyres other than those
recommended by Jaguar, do not
exceed the speed capacity
recommended by the manufacturer.
Wheels are extremely heavy. Take
care when lifting and particularly
when removing and replacing a wheel
in its storage position in the luggage
compartment.
CAUTION
Ultra high performance tyres. This
vehicle is equipped with an Ultra High
Performance (UHP) tyre and wheel
combination designed to give maximum dry
road performance with consideration for
aquaplaning resistan ce. UHP tyres have
performance enhancing soft rubber tread
compound. If driven aggressively they may
suffer rapid tread wear and a shorter life than
can be expected from other tyre types. This
wheel and tyre comb ination is more
susceptible to damage from road hazards.
Do not use this combination for driving on
snow or ice. High perf ormance tyres must be
replaced with winter tyres when weather
conditions dictate.
WARNINGS
Note the temporary use spare wheel
warning label. Adhere to instructions
on the label. Failure to comply can be
dangerous.
When a temporary use spare wheel is
fitted, drive with caution and replace
with the specified wheel and tyre as
soon as possible.
Do not fit more than one temporary
use spare wheel and tyre assembly at
one time.
The temporary use spare wheel must
be inflated to 4.2 bar (60 lbf/in²,
420 kPa) and cannot be repaired.
Temporary use spare wheel,
maximum speed is 80 km/h
(50 mph).
