TowingTOWING A TRAILER
(V6 petrol and diesel vehicles only)
Never exceed the maximum weights
for the vehicle or the trailer. Damage
to the vehicle coul d occur and vehicle
stability and braking could be
adversely affected. This could 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). If using a temporary spare
wheel, do not exceed 80 km/h (50
mph).
Note: It is the driver’s re sponsibility to ensure
that the towing vehicle, and the trailer, are
being used correctly and in accordance with
manufacturer’s reco mmendations and any
applicable legislation.
Information on towing, towing weight
capacities and regulati ons is available from
your Dealer and from the main motoring and
caravanning organisations.
The following are important points of safety,
stability and comfort. Seek further advice if
necessary.
• Maximum braked to wing weight is
permissible, provided that long periods of
uphill driving on gradients over 8% are not
undertaken. •
At altitudes above 1000 metres (3250 feet),
the stipulated maximum permitted Gross
Train Weight must be reduced by 10% for
every 1000 metres (3250 feet) in altitude,
because the thinner atmosphere can
reduce engine performance.
Diesel engines : When ambient temperature
exceeds 40°C (104°F), the engine coolant
temperature may increase above normal
operating level. If this occurs, the engine
management system will initiate a series of
actions to restore normal operating conditions,
which may include:
• A message centre message.
• Engine performance reduction.
• Air conditioning system cycling. The air
conditioning temper ature output will
fluctuate between hot and cold, in order to
dissipate engine heat. If engine overheat
persists, the air conditioning will move to
continuous heat output.
It is advisable to bring the vehicle and trailer to
a convenient stop and allo w the engine to idle
until normal temperature is restored. Do not
turn off the engine.
TRAILER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Only connect approved electrical
circuits, which are in good condition, to
the trailer socket. Connecting incorrect
or faulty circuits, may seriously damage
the vehicle’s electrical circuits.
The vehicle’s electrical system has been
designed to support all towing requirements
and comply with legal requirements for the
specific territory in which the vehicle is first
sold.
Note: The rear parking se nsors automatically
disable when the trailer electrical connection is
made using Jaguar approved towing
equipment.

MaintenanceDISABILITY MODIFICATIONS
Occupants with disabilities which may require
modification of the vehicle, must contact a
Dealer/Authorised Repairer before any
modifications are made.
PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
Do not fit non-approved parts and
accessories or carry out non-approved
alterations or conversions.
Your vehicle is not designed for use
with a roof rack. Do not fit a roof rack to
the vehicle, as damage may result.
AIRBAG SYSTEM
The components that make up the
airbag system are sensitive to
electrical or phys ical interference,
either of which could easily damage
the system and cause inadvertent
operation or a malfunction of the
airbag module.
To prevent malfunction of the airbag system
always consult your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer before fitting any of the following:
• Electronic equipment such as a mobile
phone, two-way radio or in-car
entertainment system.
• Accessories attached to the front of the
vehicle.
• Any modification to the front of the vehicle.
• Any modification involving the removal or
repair of any wiring or component in the
vicinity of any of the airbag system
components, including the steering wheel,
steering column, instrument or facia
panels.
• Any modification to th e fascia panels or
steering wheel.
ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
No modifications or additions should
be made to the anti- theft system. Such
changes could cause the system to
malfunction.
OWNER MAINTENANCE
Any significant or sudden drop in fluid
levels, or uneven ty re wear, should be
reported to a qualified technician
without delay.
In addition to the routine services and
inspections, a number of simple checks must
be carried out more fr equently. These checks
can be carried out by th e owner and advice is
given on the pages that follow.
DAILY CHECKS
• Operation of lamps, horn, direction
indicators, wipers, washers and warning
indicators.
• Operation of seat belts and brakes.
• Look for fluid deposits underneath the
vehicle that might indicate a leak.
Condensation drips from the air
conditioning are normal.
WEEKLY CHECKS
•Engine oil level.
• Engine coolant level.
• Brake fluid level.
• Power steering fluid level.
• Screen washer fluid level.
• Tyre pressures and condition.
• Operate air conditioning.
Note: The engine oil leve l should be checked
more frequently if the vehicle is driven for
prolonged periods at high speeds.

Jaguar recommends:
TOPPING UP THE OIL
Overfilling with oil could result in severe
engine damage.
1. Unscrew the oil filler cap.
2. Add oil as indicated by the message centre
display.
3. Wait five minutes fo r the oil level to
stabilise then re-check.
It is essential to use the correct specification
oil, and to ensure it is suitable for the climatic
conditions in which the vehicle is to be
operated.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
A certain amount of oil consumption is normal.
The rate of consumpt ion will depend on the
following:
• The quality and viscosity of the oil.
• Climatic conditions.
• The speed at which the engine is being
operated.
• Road conditions.
Drivers should expect above normal
consumption when the engi ne is new, and after
running-in if high speeds are sustained.
CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVEL
Running the engine without coolant will
cause serious engine damage.
If persistent coolant loss is noticed,
seek qualified assistance immediately.
The coolant level in the expansion tank should
be checked at least weekly (more frequently in
high mileage or severe operating conditions).
Always check the level when the system is
cold.
Ensure the coolant level is maintained between
the level indicator marks, as shown in the
illustrations.

Fluid level checks
171
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.
