Tyre pressure monitoring systemTYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
The TPM system provides a low
pressure warning and does not
re-inflate your tyres. Tyre pressures
should be checked regularly using an
accurate pressure gauge when cold.
The TPM system can NOT register
damage to a tyre. Regularly check the
condition of your tyres, especially if
the vehicle is driven off-road.
When inflating tyre s, care should be
taken to avoid bending or damaging the
TPM system valves. Always ensure
correct alignment of the inflation head
to the valve stem.
Note: Non-approved accessories may interfere
with the system. If this occurs, TYRE
PRESSURE MONITORI NG SYSTEM FAULT is
displayed in the message centre.
Wheels fitted with a TPM system can be
visually identified by the external metal lock nut
and valve ( 1). All Jaguar n on-TPM system
wheels have a rubber valve fitted (2).
TPMS OPERATION
The TPM system monitors pressure of the
tyres via sensors located in each wheel and a
receiver located within the vehicle.
Communication between sensor and receiver
is via Radio Freque ncy (RF) signals.
If the telltale light illu minates, you should stop
and check your tyres as soon as possible and
inflate them to the recommended pressure as
stated on the tyre pressure placard. If low
pressure warnings occur frequently, the cause
must be determined and rectified.
When driving through variable climatic
conditions the TPM syst em warnings may be
intermittent.
Your vehicle will also indicate a TPM system
malfunction by initially flashing and
subsequent continuous illumination of the
warning telltale. A text message will
accompany the system malfunction and will
display TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM FAULT . The TPM system fault
sequence will be activated at every ignition
cycle until the fault is rectified. When a
malfunction occurs, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as
intended.
TPM system malfuncti ons may occur for a
variety of reasons which may include other
radio frequency systems that could cause
interference or the installation of incompatible
replacement tyres on the vehicle.
The tyre pressure warning
comprises a yellow warning
telltale within the instrument
panel, and the associated
messages within the message
centre.

REPLACEMENT TPMS SENSOR
Should the sensor require replacing, it should
be carried out by a Deal er/Authorised Repairer.
A replacement sensor must be fitted to a
running wheel in order to be recognised by the
system. The vehicle needs to be stationary for
15 minutes during the sensor fitment before
the system is ready to detect the new sensor.
The vehicle must be driven for a minimum of
fifteen minutes after th e sensor change, and
then remain stationary for fifteen minutes to
activate full TPM system operation.
If the TPM system warning for any wheel does
not clear, even after ensuring correct inflation
and driving for more than ten minutes above 25
km/h (18 mph), you s hould seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.

Tyre repair kitTYRE REPAIR KIT
If you are in any doubt regarding your
ability to carry out the instructions,
contact your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer before attempting the repair.
Your vehicle may not be equipped with a spare
tyre. If this is the case, in its place in the rear
underfloor storage compartment, you will find
a tyre repair kit (except where run-flat tyres are
fitted). The tyre repair ki t can be used to repair
one tyre and it is essent ial that you read the
following guide before attempting to repair a
tyre.
The tyre repair kit seal s most punctures with a
maximum diameter of 6 mm (1/4 inch).
Note: The sealant used in the tyre repair kit has
a shelf life and the expiry date is shown on the
tyre sealant bottle. Ensur e that the container is
replaced before the expiry date.
TYRE REPAIR KIT SAFETY
INFORMATION
Some tyre damage may only be
partially sealed, or may not seal at
all, depending on the amount and type
of damage. Any loss of tyre pressure
can seriously affect vehicle safety.
Do not use the tyre repair kit if the tyre
has been damaged by driving while
under-inflated.
Only use the tyre repair kit to seal
damage located within the tyre tread
area.
Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) when
a repaired tyre is fitted to the vehicle.
The maximum distanc e that should be
driven when a repaired tyre is fitted, is
200 km (125 miles). When a repaired tyre is fitted, drive
with caution and avoid sudden braking
or steering manoeuvres.
Only use the tyre repair kit for the
vehicle with which it was supplied.
Do not use the tyre repair kit for any
other purpose than tyre repair.
Never leave the tyre repair kit
unattended when in use.
Only use the tyre repair kit within the
-30°C to +70°C temperature range.
Always keep children and animals at a
safe distance from the tyre repair kit
when in use.
Do not stand directly beside the
compressor when it is operating.
Check the tyre sidewall prior to
inflation. If any cracks, damage or
deformities are apparent, do not
inflate the tyre.
Watch the tyre sidewall during
inflation. If any cracks, bumps or
similar damage, or deformities
appear, switch off the compressor and
deflate the tyre.

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.

10. Set the compressor switch to the on ( I)
position.
11. Inflate the tyre to a minimum of 1.9 bar
(26 psi) and a maximum of 3.5 bar
(51 psi).
•When pumping the sealant through the
tyre valve, the pressure may rise up to
6 bar (87 psi). The pressure will drop
again after approx imately 30 seconds.
12. During the inflation, switch the
compressor off briefly, to check the tyre
pressure using the gauge mounted on the
compressor.
•It should not take longer than 7
minutes to inflate the tyre. If, after 7
minutes, the tyre ha s not yet reached
minimum pressure, the tyre should not
be used.
13. Once the tyre has been inflated, switch off
the compressor. If desired, the engine may
be turned off after the compressor has
been turned off.
14. Remove the power connector from the
auxiliary power socket.
15. Remove the inflation hose from the tyre
valve, by unscrewing it as quickly as
possible (anticlockwise).
16. Replace the inflation hose protective cap
and the tyre valve cap.
17. Ensure that the tyre repair kit (including the
bottle and receiver caps) are placed
securely in the vehicle. You will need to use
the kit to check the tyre pressure after
approximately 3 km (2 miles), so ensure
they are easily accessible.
18. Immediately drive the vehicle for
approximately 3 km (2 miles), to allow the
sealant to coat the inner surface of the tyre
and form a seal at the puncture.CHECKING THE TYRE PRESSURE
AFTER A REPAIR
When driving the vehicle, if you
experience vibrations, abnormal
steering, or noises, reduce speed
immediately. Drive with extreme
caution and reduced speed, to the first
safe place to stop the vehicle. Visually
examine the tyre and check its
pressure. If there are any signs of
damage or deformity to the tyre, or the
tyre pressure is below 1.3 bar (19
psi), do not continue driving.
Consult a tyre repair centre or your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer, for
advice concerning the replacement of
a tyre after using a tyre repair kit.
1. Drive the vehicle for 3 km (2 miles) then
stop in a safe place. Carry out a visual
examination of the tyre’s condition.
2. Make sure that the sealant container
section is in its original position.
3. Screw the inflation hos e connector firmly
onto the tyre valve.
4. Read the tyre pressure from the gauge.
5. If the pressure of the sealant filled tyre is
above 1.3 bar (19 psi) adjust the pressure
to the correct value.
6. Ensure that the compressor switch is in the
Off ( O) position and insert the power cable
connector into the au xiliary power socket.
If the vehicle is in a well ventilated area,
start the engine.
7. Switch the compressor to On ( I) and inflate
the tyre to the correct pressure.
8. To check the tyre pressure, turn off the
compressor then read the pressure from
the gauge.

9. When the compressor is off, if the tyre
pressure is too high, release the required
amount of pressure using the pressure
release valve.
10. Once the tyre is inflated to the correct
pressure, switch off the compressor and
remove the power plug from the auxiliary
socket.
•The use of the tyre repair kit sealant
may lead to error prompts and
incorrect readings of the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System. Therefore, use the
tyre repair kit pressure gauge to check
and adjust the damaged tyre's inflation
pressure.
11. Unscrew the inflation hose connector from
the tyre valve, replace the tyre valve cap
and the inflation hose connector protective
cap.
12. Ensure that the tyre repair kit is placed
securely in the vehicle.
13. Drive to the nearest tyre repair centre or
Dealer/Authorised Repairer, for a
replacement tyre to be fitted. Ensure that
you make the repair centre aware that the
tyre repair kit has been used before the tyre
is removed.
14. Both the tyre inflation hose, and the sealant
container should be replaced once a new
tyre has been fitted.
Only sealant containers which are
completely empty should be
disposed of with normal
household waste. Sealant
containers which contain some
sealant, and the tyre inflation hose,
should be disposed of by a tyre
specialist or your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer, in
compliance with local waste
disposal regulations.

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.
