Before Driving 3 - 13
Inertia reel mechanism check
Static test: Whilst seated, fasten the seat
belt and grip the shoulder belt at
approximately shoulder level with the
opposite hand. Pull the belt sharply
downwards, the belt should lock.
Road test: The following road test must
be carried out only under maximum safe
road conditions.
With the seat belt correctly fitted to the
driver and passenger(s), drive the vehicle
at 5 mph (8 km/h) and, ensuring that it is
safe to do so, brake sharply.
The seat belt(s) should lock automatically,
holding both driver and passenger(s)
securely in position.
It is important when braking that the
reactions of both driver and passenger(s)
are normal, that is, the body must not be
thrown forward in anticipation, thus
causing a snatching action of the belt
which would operate the locking
mechanism.
If the belt fails to lock on either test,
consult a Jaguar Retailer.
!WARNING:
1. Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the
body. The lap section of the belt
must be worn low across the front
of the pelvis and NOT across the
abdominal area. Always ensure
that the webbing is midway
between the neck and the edge of
the shoulder.
2. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing
with polishes, oils and chemicals,
and particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried out
using mild soap and water.
If webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated or damaged,
discard it and fit a new seat belt.
3. It is essential to renew the entire assembly after it has been worn in
a severe impact even if damage to
the assembly is not obvious. 4. Belts should not be worn with the
webbing twisted.
5. Each seat belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is
dangerous to put a seat belt
around a child being carried on
the occupant’s lap.
6. No modifications or additions s h o u l d b e m a d e b y t h e u s e r w h i c h
will prevent the seat belt adjusting
devices from operating.
7. Should the seat belt not retract and remain at its static length,
consult your nearest Jaguar
Retailer immediately.

Before Driving 3 - 25
Securing child restraints with an
adult seat belt
All passenger seat belts (not the driver’s)
have an automatic locking device for use
with child seats.
If engaged, this device allows the belt to
be retracted (tightened) but not pulled
out. When used to secure a child seat,
therefore, the belt will automatically lock
at any point to which it has retracted.
Always ensure that child restraint
assemblies are fitted in strict accordance
with the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions. Keep the fitting instructions
for future reference.
The following checks should always be
carried out:
• Fit the child seat in the correct position and secure with the seat belt
in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
If necessary, remove the headrest to
accommodate a larger child seat.
• Pull the seat belt all the way out to engage the locking device.
• Make sure the child seat is fitted firmly to the car seat. There should
not be excessive forward or sideways
movement. • To fix the seat firm
ly, retract the belt
back onto the reel; a ratchet
operation may be felt as the belt
retracts. Continue to pay the belt back
onto the reel until it fits snugly around
the child seat.
• Regularly check and refit the child seat to ensure there is no slack in the
installation.
• The seat belt must not be twisted and
the buckle must not rest on the child
seat frame, as it may snap open in an
accident.
• Never modify the seat, or install it differently to the instructions.
The above is a guide only. Depending on
the features of a particular child seat,
e.g. forward or rearwa rd-facing, engage
the locking device before or after
attaching the belt, as convenient.
Unbuckling the belt and releasing the
child seat will allow th e belt to resume its
normal operation.
Always secure an unoccupied child seat
safely. In an accident an unsecured child
seat may pose a risk to the vehicle
occupants. Safe use of child restraints
!WARNING:
The top tether anchor point must
always be used to secure forward-
facing child seats (see page 3 - 29).
Ensure that there is no slack in the
webbing and that the restraints fits the
child snugly across the rib cage and hips.
These are the parts of the body most able
to take the force of an impact.
• Ensure the path and position of an integral harness across the shoulders
is appropriate for your child’s
development – consult the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• The lap strap should pass across the top of the child’s thighs, bearing on
the pelvis, not the abdominal area.
• Adjust the harness every time so that one or two fingers only can be
inserted between the child and the
harness. Different clothing on a child
can make a difference to the correct
fitting of the harness.
• Make sure that the webbing is not twisted.

3 - 26 Before Driving
• Never modify the seat harness or buckles as this may affect the quick
release mechanism.
• Always secure your child correctly, even for a short journey.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for harness adjustments.
Booster seats
If a booster seat is used, position the lap
section of the adult seat belt over the
child’s pelvis. The diagonal seat belt
should rest on the child’s shoulder,
not the neck.Check List – Non-LATCH Child
Restraints
Follow the check list each time a child
travels in the vehicle:
• Always attach the top tether when
installing a forward-facing child seat.
• Carefully follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the
restraint system.
• Always use the appropriate child restraints and adjust harnesses for
every child, every trip.
• Avoid dressing a child in bulky clothing and do not place any objects
between the child and the restraint
system.
• No child seat is completely child- proof. Encourage your child not to
play with buckle or harness. • Regularly check the fit of your child
seat and replace seats or harnesses
that show signs of wear.
• Ensure that you have removed all slack from the adult seat belt and that
the automatic locking device is
activated.
• Never leave a child unsupervised in the vehicle.
• Activate the rear door child safety locks (see page 2 - 14).
• Ensure your child does not exit the vehicle from the side where there is
traffic.
• Set your child a good example – always wear your seat belt.

3 - 28 Before Driving
Fitting LATCH seats
For further information regarding a LATCH child seat, please
consult your Jaguar Retailer.
Always use the additional top tether anchorage.
LATCH child seats can only be fi tted to the two outer rear seat
positions, as shown on the previous page.
Caution: When fitting a LATCH child seat, the seat
manufacturers instructions must always be followed.
The following is a guide only.
Note: So as not to interfere with the fitment of large child seats,
push the adult seat buckles into their buckle recesses and,
if necessary, remove the headrest.
LATCH seat with extendable bars (A) – Fit the seat as
follows:
1. Expose the LATCH loops between the seat and seat back.
2. Make sure that the adult seat belts and buckles do not become trapped behind the child seat.
3. Make sure there is nothing obstructing the seat mounting mechanism at the anchorage points.
4. Make sure you do NOT trap the top tether strap behind the child seat.
5. Fully extend the two attachme nt bars on the child seat
(see manufacturer’s instructions).
6. Locate the slots on the ends of the bars onto the two LATCH
loops, then push the seat asse mbly rearwards until the bars
are positively engaged (a trigger operates to lock the
attachment bars onto the loops). 7. Slide the seat rearwards along the legs until it is locked firmly
against the vehicle seat back. Confirm that it is securely
locked in position.
8. Secure a forward-facing ch ild seat to the top tether
anchorage.
LATCH seat with tether straps (B) – Clip the flexible lower
straps to the two LATCH loops. Adjust the length of each strap
until the seat is held firmly against the vehicle seat back.
!WARNING:

Engine Temperature (E)
Drive at moderate road and engine
speeds until normal operating
temperature is reached. This is indicated
when the pointer is between the
blue (cold) segment and the red (hot)
segment.
The engine operating temperature will
vary with changes in weather and engine
load. The engine temperature may rise in
some circumstances, such as:
• Idling for long periods in slow moving traffic.
• Driving up a long hill in hot weather.
• Driving slowly or stopping after driving at high speed.
• Towing a trailer or caravan.!WARNING:
1. The radiator cooling fans may continue to run after the ignition
has been switched off but will
automatically switch off when the
engine has cooled sufficiently.
2. It is unsafe to run the engine in an overheated condition.
3. Do not remove the coolant reservoir filler cap while the
engine is hot. If it is essential, then
protect your hands against
escaping steam. SLOWLY turn the
cap anti-clockwise to allow the
steam pressure to escape
completely before removing the
cap. Should the pointer move into the red
segment (
H) of the coolant gauge, stop
the vehicle as soon as it is safely possible,
turn off the engine and open the hood to
allow the engine to cool.
