Fuel and refuelling
153
METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER
(MTBE)
Unleaded fuel containing an oxygenate known
as MTBE can be used prov ided that the ratio of
MTBE to conventional fuel does not exceed
15%. MTBE is an Ether based compound
derived from Petroleum, which has been
specified by several refiners as the substance
to enhance the Octane rating of fuel.
DIESEL ENGINED VEHICLES
Do not use RME (bio-diesel) except in
the case of those proprietary diesel
fuels which contain a mix of up to 5%.
Jaguar can accept no responsibility for
damage caused by using RME in
concentrations greater than 5%.
Use only high quality diesel fuel according to
EN590 or equivalent.
The quality of diesel fu el is variable, depending
on geographic location. Always use premium
or the highest quality fuel available in your
locality. High quality fuel ensures a longer life
for your engine components. Lower grade fuel
contains higher levels of sulphur, which is
detrimental to engine components. If low
quality fuel is used, li ght coloured smoke may
be evident at the exhaust.
Note: Jaguar vehicles ar e capable of running
with up to a 5% blend of bio-diesel, in
accordance with European Standard EN590.
Prolonged use of additives is not
recommended. Do not add paraffin or petrol to
diesel fuels.
If you inadvertently fill your vehicle with
petrol instead of di esel, do not attempt
to start the engine. Contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer immediately. Jaguar cars can accept no
responsibility for any damage caused
by running your vehicle with petrol or
vegetable oil in the fuel tank.
SULPHUR CONTENT
Your vehicle is fitted with a Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF), the maximum
Sulphur content must not exceed
0.005%. Using an incorrect fuel will
cause serious damage to the DPF.
In some countries diesel may contain higher
levels of Sulphur, wh ich could cause damage
to the vehicle, if in doubt contact a local
Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Avoid running out of fuel!
If the vehicle does run out of fuel, a
minimum of 4 litres (0.9 gallons) will be
required to restart the engine. The vehicle
should be left with the ignition on for 5 minutes
after refuelling before attempting to restart the
engine.
Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel,
seeking qualified assistance is advisable.
WATER IN FUEL
If the warning WATER IN FUEL is
displayed in the message centre, an
excessive amount of water has
collected in the fuel filter bowl. Seek
assistance from a Jaguar Dealer/
Authorised Repairer to have the filter
drained as soon as possible.

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.

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.

V6 petrol engines
Note: If it is necessary to check the oil level
when the engine is hot, switch off the engine
and let stand for five minutes to allow the oil to
drain into the sump. Do not start the engine.
1. Withdraw the dipstick and wipe the blade
clean with a lint free cloth.
2. Fully re-insert the dipstick and withdraw
again to check the oil level. Never allow the
oil level to fall below the lower mark or
notch on the dipstick.
As a general guide, if the level on the
dipstick:
•Is nearer to the upper mark or notch
than the lower, add no oil.
• Is nearer to the lower mark or notch
than the upper, add half a litre (one
pint) of oil.
• Is below the lower mark or notch, add
one litre (two pints) of oil and re-check
the level after a further five minutes.ENGINE OIL SPECIFICATION
Low quality or obsolete oils do not
provide the protection required by
modern, high perfor mance engines.
Failure to use an oil that meets the
required specification could cause
excessive engine wear, a build up of
sludge and deposit s and increased
pollution. It could also lead to engine
failure.
Your vehicle’s warranty may be
invalidated if damage is caused by the
use of unapproved engine oil.
Do not use oil additives of any type as
engine damage could occur. Use only
specified lubricants.

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.
