Towing
69
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.

Tyre repair kit
149
USING THE TYRE REPAIR KIT
Avoid skin contact with the sealant
which contains natural rubber latex.
If the tyre inflation pressure does not
reach 1.8 bar (26 psi, 180 kPa) within
seven minutes, the tyre may have
suffered excessive damage. A
temporary repair will not be possible,
and the vehicle should not be driven
until the tyre has been replaced.
Before attempting a tyre repair, ensure
that the vehicle is parked safely, as far
away from passing traffic as possible.
Ensure that the parking 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 ventilated space, as
this may cause asphyxiation.
To prevent overheatin g, do not operate
the compressor continuously for longer
than ten minutes.
Note: All vehicle drivers and occupants should
be made aware that a temporary repair has
been made to a tyre fitt ed to the vehicle. They
should also be made aware of the special
driving conditions im posed when using a
repaired tyre.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
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 besi de the tyre while
the compressor is pumping. Watch the
tyre sidewall. If any cracks, bumps or
similar 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.
1. Open the tyre repair kit and peel off the
maximum speed label. Attach the label to
the facia in the driver's field of vision. Take
care not to obstruct an y 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 seal. Once the
receiver has been fitted, a ratchet
prevents it from being removed.
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.
9. Unless the vehicle is in an enclosed area,
start the engine.

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.
