side of the luggage compartment.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
If supplied, the fire exti nguisher will be located
either in the luggage compartment, or mounted
to the front passenger seat.
REPAIRING MINOR PAINT DAMAGE
Regularly inspect the paintwork for damage.
Any stone chips, fractures, or deep scratches,
in the paint/bodywork should be repaired
promptly. Bare metal wi ll corrode quickly, and
if left untreated can resu lt in expensive repairs.
CLEANING THE ALLOY WHEELS
Only use approved wheel cleaning
products.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Some high pressure cleaning systems
are sufficiently powerful to penetrate
door and window seals, and damage
trim and door locks. Never aim the
water jet directly at the engine air intake,
heater air intakes, body seals or at any
components which may be damaged.
Never use cleaning products which are
not approved for use on vehicles.
Following cleaning of the vehicle
exterior (particularly with a pressure
washer), it is recommended that the
vehicle is taken for a short drive in order
to dry out the brakes.

WASHING THE VEHICLE PAINTWORK
Substances which are corrosive can
damage the vehicle's paintwork and
should be removed to prevent damage.
USING AN AUTOMATIC WASH
Commercially operated automatic car
washes, jet washes and
power-operated mops, are not
recommended.
UNDER BONNET CLEANING
Do not use a high pressure washer or
steam cleaner in the engine
compartment.
Ensure that the brake fluid reservoir is
kept dry at all times. Only use a clean,
dry cloth to clean the brake fluid cap
and reservoir.
CLEANING GLASS SURFACES
Clean the rear window with a soft cloth to avoid
damaging the heating element. Do not scrape
the glass or use any abrasive cleaning fluid.
Mirror glass is particul arly susceptible to
damage. Wash with soapy water. Do not use
abrasive cleaning compounds or metal
scrapers to remove ice.
To avoid damaging the protecting coating, only
clean the interior side of the sunroof glass with
a soft cloth. Don not sc rape the glass or use
abrasive cleaning fluids.
CLEANING THE REAR SCREEN

cleaning the inside of th e rear screen, use only
a soft damp cloth or ch amois leather. Do not
use solvents or sharp objects to clean the
glass.
CLEANING THE SUNROOF WIND
DEFLECTOR
A mild solution of soap and water, or car
shampoo should be used to clean the wind
deflector net period ically. Support the
underside of the net with a soft cloth, and
gently scrub the net usi ng a soft bristled brush.
REMOVING GREASE AND TAR
Remove grease or tar with Jaguar Tar Remover
or methylated spirit (a lcohol). White spirit is
also effective, but must not be applied to
rubber, particularly the windscreen wiper
blades.
Ensure that after using methylated or
white spirit, the area is washed
immediately with soapy water, to
remove all traces of spirit.
POLISHING
Chrome polish, or other abrasive
cleaners, must not be used on the
vehicle's brightwork.
It is recommended that the vehicle is polished
regularly using Jaguar polish and a polishing

Fluid level checksCHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check the engine oil weekly. If any
significant or sudden drop in oil level is
noted, seek qualified assistance.
If the message ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
LOW is displayed, stop 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
rectified.
Prior to checking the oil level ensure that the
vehicle is on level ground.
All except V6 petrol engines
Ensure that:
• The engine oil has reached working
temperature (oil is hot).
• The engine has been switched off for ten
minutes, as the syst em will not give an
accurate reading until the oil level has
stabilised.
The oil level can then be checked as follows:
1. Switch on the ignition (do not start the
engine).
2. Ensure Park (P ) is selected.
3. Press the trip button (on the end of the
lighting control stalk) repeatedly until the
oil can icon, along with the current oil level
status and topping-up ad vice is displayed
in the message centre, as follows. A.
Oil level at recommended level. No top-up
required.
B. Add 0.5 litres (0.9 pints) of oil.
C. Add 1 litre (1.8 pints) of oil.
D. Oil level above maximum for safe
operation. Do not drive the vehicle. Seek
qualified assistance.
E. Oil level below mi nimum for safe
operation. Add 1.5 litres (2.6 pints) of oil,
then recheck the level.
F. Oil level stabilising, oil level not available.
Wait 10 minutes, then recheck the oil level
display.
If this display is accompanied by the
warning message ENGINE OIL LEVEL
MONITOR SYSTEM FAULT , seek qualified
assistance.

If the message LOW COOLANT LEVEL is
displayed in the message centre, stop the
vehicle as soon as safe ty permits and top-up
the coolant reservoir with the recommended
antifreeze/water mix.
If the message centre displays the message
ENGINE OVERHEATING, pull off the
carriageway and allow the e ngine to idle for five
minutes and then switch off the ignition for ten
minutes. Switch on the engine and, provided
that the warning does not occur, continue your
journey, avoiding hars h acceleration. Seek
qualified assistance as soon as possible.
TOPPING UP THE COOLANT
Never remove the filler cap when the
engine is hot.
Antifreeze is highly inflammable. Do
not allow antifreeze to come into
contact with naked flames or other
sources of ignition (e.g. a hot engine)
- a fire may result.
Unscrew the filler cap slowly,
allowing the pressure to escape
before removing completely.
When travelling in territories where the
water supply contains salt, always
ensure you carry a supply of fresh (rain
or distilled) water. Topping up with salt
water will cause serious engine
damage.
Top-up to the upper le vel indicator mark
located on the side of the expansion tank. Use
only a 50% mix of water and antifreeze to
specification WSS M97B44 (coloured orange)
Extended Life Coolant.
Ensure the cap is tightened fully after top-up is
completed by turning the cap until the ratchet
cap clicks. Note:
In an emergency, if the approved
antifreeze is unavailable, top-up the system
with clean water, but be aware of the resultant
reduction in frost protection. Do not top-up or
refill with conventional an tifreeze formulations.
If in doubt consult a qualified technician.
BRAKE FLUID CHECK
Seek qualified assistance
immediately if brak e pedal travel is
unusually long, unusua lly short or if
there is any signific ant loss of brake
fluid. Driving under such conditions
could result in extended stopping
distances or complete brake failure.
Note: If the warning lamp illuminates or the
message is displayed while the vehicle is being
driven, stop the vehicle as soon as safety
permits by gently appl ying the brakes. Check
and top-up the fluid level if necessary.
Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep
containers sealed and out of the reach
of children. If accidental consumption
is suspected, seek medical attention
immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, rins e immediately with
plenty of water.
Brake fluid is highly inflammable. Do
not allow brake fluid to come into
contact with naked flames or other
sources of ignition (e.g. a hot engine).
If the quantity of fluid in the brake
reservoir drops below the
recommended level, a red warning
lamp in the inst rument panel will
illuminate and the message Brake
Fluid Low will be displayed in the
message centre.

Vehicle batteryBATTERY WARNING SYMBOLS
BATTERY CARE
If battery electrolyte comes into
contact with your eyes, skin, or
clothes you should remove the
affected clothing and flush the
skin/eyes with copious amounts of
water. Seek medical assistance
immediately.
If swallowed, battery electrolyte can
be fatal, seek medical assistance
immediately.
Do not connect any 12 volt equipment
directly to the bat tery terminals.
Doing so may cause a spark, which
can result in an explosion. The cell plugs and vent pipe must be
in place at all tim
es when the battery
is connected to t he vehicle. Ensure
that the vent pipe is clear of
obstructions and not kinked. Failure to
do so may cause a pressure build up in
the battery, resulting in an explosion.
Do not expose the battery to a naked
flame or spark as the battery produces
explosive, flammable gas.
Never jump start (boost), charge, or
try to start a vehicle with a frozen
battery. Doing so can result in an
explosion.
Remove all metal jewellery before
working on, or near, the battery, and
never allow metal tools or vehicle
components to come into contact with
the battery terminals.
Do not allow the battery posts or
terminals to come into contact with
your skin. They contain lead and lead
compounds, which are toxic. Always
wash your hands thoroughly after
handling the battery.
Do not allow battery electrolyte to come
into contact with fabrics or painted
surfaces. If battery electrolyte comes
into contact with any surface, the
surface should be washed down
immediately with copious amounts of
clean water.
Vehicles may be fitted with either a single low
maintenance battery or dual maintenance free
batteries. Both types are located under the floor
of the luggage compartment.
If the vehicle is fitted with a single battery, in
hot climates more fre quent checks of the
battery electrolyte level and condition are
required. If necessary, the battery cells can be
topped up using distilled water.
Do not allow naked flames or other
sources of ignition near the
battery, as the battery may emit
explosive gases.
Ensure that when working near or
handling the battery, suitable eye
protection is worn, to protect the
eyes from acid splashes.
To prevent risk of injury, do not
allow children near the battery.
Be aware that the battery may emit
explosive gases.
The battery contains acid which is
extremely corrosive and toxic.
Consult the handbook for
information, before handling the
battery.

Tyres
185
TyresTYRE CARE
Do not drive the vehi cle if a tyre is
damaged, excessively worn, or
incorrectly inflated.
Avoid contaminating the tyres with
vehicle fluids as they may cause
damage to the tyre.
Avoid spinning the wheels. The forces
released can damage the structure of
the tyre and cause it to fail.
If wheel spin is unavoidable due to a
loss of traction (in deep snow, for
example), do not exceed 50 km/h (30
mph).
Do not exceed the maximum pressure
stated on the sidewall of the tyre.
TYRE PRESSURES
Never drive your vehicle if the tyre
pressures are incorrect.
Pressure checks should only be
carried out when the tyres are cold,
and the vehicle has been stationary
for more than three hours. A hot tyre at
or below recommended cold inflation
pressure is dangerously
under-inflated.
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.
CHECKING THE TYRE PRESSURES
The recommended tyre pressures are listed on
a label located in the driver’s door opening.
Check the tyres, including the spare, for
condition and pressure on a weekly basis and
before long journeys.
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 psi, 14 kPa,)
per week, have the cause investigated and
rectified by qualified assistance.
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 psi, 30 - 40 kpa). Do not reduce the
tyre pressures to the cold inflation pressure
under these circumstances. Allow the tyres to
cool fully before ad justing the pressures.
TYRE VALVES
Keep the valve caps screwed down firmly to
prevent water or dirt entering the valve. Check
the valves for leaks when checking the tyre
pressures.

Tyres
186
PUNCTURED TYRES
Do not drive the vehicle with a
punctured tyre. Even if the punctured
tyre has not deflated, it is unsafe to
use, as the tyre may deflate suddenly
at any time.
REPLACEMENT TYRES
Always fit replacement tyres of the
same type, and wherever possible of
the same make and tread pattern.
If the use of tyres not recommended by
Jaguar is unavoidable, ensure that
you read, and fully comply with, the
tyre manufacturer’s instructions.
Ideally, tyres should be re placed in sets of four.
If this is not possible, replace the tyres in pairs
(both front or both rear). When tyres are
replaced, the wheels should always be
re-balanced and alignment checked.
The correct tyre specification for your vehicle
can be found on the ty re placard label.
PRESSURE COMPENSATION FOR
TEMPERATURE CHANGES
A colder ambient local temperature will reduce
pressure within the tyre. An effect is to
decrease sidewall height and to increase tyre
shoulder wear with the potential for tyre failure.
Vehicle dynamics could also be adversely
affected.
Tyre pressures can be adjusted to compensate
before the start of the journey. Alternatively,
tyre pressures can be adjusted when the area
of lower ambient temperature is reached.
In this situation, the vehicle must be left in the
ambient local temperature for at least one hour
before tyre pressure is adjusted. To compensate for colder ambient
temperatures, tyre pressures should be
increased by 0.14 bar (2 psi, 14 kPa) for each
10°C (20°F) decrease.
Note:
Ensure that correct tyre pressures are
maintained when moving to areas of differing
ambient temperature.
AVOIDING FLAT SPOTS
In order to minimise fl at spotting, the tyre
pressures can be increased to the maximum as
stated on the tyre sidewall, for the period when
the vehicle is stationary. Tyres must be
returned to the specified running pressures
before driving.
TYRE DEGRADATION
Tyres degrade over time due to the effects of
ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high
loads, and environmen tal conditions. It is
recommended that tyres are replaced at least
every six years, but they may require
replacement more frequently.
USING WINTER TYRES
Do not exceed 240 km/h (150 mph) when
using Jaguar approv ed winter tyres.
Winter tyres must be fitted to all four wheels.
Note: Tyres with an all season icon or M+S
have a level of winter performance and need
not be replaced.
