1 - 8 Owner Information
Regular Servicing
Each vehicle is given a full ‘Pre-Delivery
Inspection’ to ensure that all systems
function correctly and that the vehicle
meets its specification.
Owners are responsible for the regular
maintenance and servicing of the vehicle.
Jaguar Retailers will be pleased to arrange
periodic servicing and can provide you
with details of tasks carried out at each
service interval.
Failure to implement maintenance at the
recommended interval s could result in
deterioration of vehicle performance and
possible infringement of regulations.
Regular routine maintenance not only
helps to prevent unnecessary
‘breakdowns’ and inconvenience,
but enhances the ‘trade in’ or resale
value of the vehicle.
Failure to perform regular maintenance at
the correct interval may void the factory
warranty.
USA and Canada
Jaguar Retailers will arrange for
appointments on a mileage/kilometre or
time interval basis to ensure that all
routine and corrective maintenance work
is undertaken and recorded in the
‘Passport to Service’ Booklet. This booklet
not only contains a record of vital
information, but also information about
warranties, Jaguar Cars, Jaguar Car Clubs,
Tyre Manufacturers and change of
ownership or address vouchers.
Mexico
Jaguar Retailers will arrange for
appointments on a mileage/distance or
time interval basis to ensure that all
routine and corrective maintenance work
is undertaken and recorded in the Service
Record and Warranty Book. This booklet
not only contains a record of vital
information, but also information about
warranty and a change of ownership
card.
Jaguar Diagnostic System
Many of the vehicle systems are
controlled by complex electronic devices.
Specialist equipment is required to trace
and rectify faults in the systems and
ensure that only faulty components are
repaired or renewed.
Caution: Severe damage to the
electrical system and electronic
components can occur if any attempt
is made to diagnose faults in the
electrical system using conventional
diagnostic equipment (for example;
the use of test lamps or low
impedance voltmeters ). The fitting of
any electrical accessory should only
be entrusted to a Jaguar Retailer.

6 - 20 Roadside Emergency
Fire Extinguisher
Many countries make it compulsory to
carry a fire extinguisher. Your Jaguar
Retailer can supply and fit one.
Mexican vehicles have a factory fitted fire
extinguisher which contains 2.2 lbs (1 kg)
of BC powder pressurised with nitrogen
to a working pressure of 180 psi (12 bar)
at 68°F (20°C).
This extinguisher can be used on liquid
fires, electrical equipment fires and, if no
explosion risk, gaseous fires.
!WARNING:
1. Do not test the fire extinguisher prior to use. Partial discharge will
render the extinguisher
inoperative.
2. Do not use the fire extinguisher closer than 8 feet (2.4 m) to the
base of a liquid fire as the force
may splatter the burning liquid to
the surrounding area. To operate the fire extinguisher:
1. Unclip and remove the extinguisher
from the bracket.
2. Put your finger through the yellow safety wedge ring ( A) and pull hard to
remove the wedge. The operating
lever will be exposed.
3. Hold the extinguisher upright and aim at the base of the fire.
4. Press the lever down firmly.
5. Release the lever to stop the flow of powder. Maintenance
Every six months:
• Remove the extinguisher from its
bracket and check that the nozzle is
clear.
• Check that the safety wedge strap ( B)
is secure.
• Check the pressure gauge on the base of the extinguisher. If the gauge is in
the red area report it to your Jaguar
Retailer immediately as the
extinguisher may not work in an
emergency.

7 Maintenance
Regular Checks
In the interests of safety and reliability,
it is advisable to carry out the following
checks at the recommended intervals,
and always before starting on a long
journey.
Daily
Check that there is sufficient fuel for the
journey intended, particularly at night
and before joining motorways.
Weekly
Tyres– Check the tyres, including the
spare, for condition and pressure.
Tyre pressures are explained on page 8 - 8
and shown on a label inside the fuel filler
flap.
Lights – Check that all exterior lights and
direction indicators function correctly
and that the lenses are clean.
Engine oil – With the vehicle standing
on level ground, check the oil level and
top up if necessary with oil of the correct
grade.
Engine coolant – With the engine cold,
check the level of the coolant in the
coolant reservoir header tank. Any loss of
fluid must be checked by a Jaguar
Retailer. Brake fluid
– Check the level of the fluid
in the brake fluid reservoir. Top up if
necessary with new, unused Jaguar
approved brake fluid.
The reservoir is initially nearly full,
but the level will drop as the brake pads
wear. If the level appears unusually low,
location of the fluid leakage must be
checked by a Jaguar Retailer.
Power steering fluid – With the engine
cold, check the level of the fluid in the
power steering fluid reservoir. Top up if
necessary with fluid of the correct
specification. Any loss of fluid should be
checked by a Jaguar Retailer.
Windscreen washer fluid – Top up
with windscreen washer fluid and clean
soft water. Check the operation of the
washers. It is recommended that you
use Jaguar Windscreen Washer Fluid to
keep the glass clean and also to prevent
the fluid from freezing during cold
weather.
Monthly
Wiper blades – Check the quality of the
wipe. If smearing or juddering is evident,
clean the windscreen and wiper blades.
Used Engine Oil
!WARNING:
Prolonged and repeated contact may
cause serious skin disorders,
including dermatitis and cancer.
Always use a hand cream to protect the
skin from oil contamination.
Avoid contact with the skin as far as
possible and wash thoroughly after any
contact. Keep oils out of reach of
children.
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT: It is
illegal to pollute drai ns, watercourses and
soil. Use authorised waste collection
facilities, including civic amenity sites and
garages providing fa cilities for the
disposal of used oi l, oil filters and
batteries. If in doubt, contact your Local
Authority for advice on disposal.

Hood Release
!WARNING:
Take care to keep away from rotating components if the
engine is running when you open the hood.
Release the hood lock by pullin g the lever below the fascia on
the left-hand side of the vehicle.
Lift the hood slightly and push the safety catch, located under
the centre of the front edge of th e hood. The gas filled struts will
assist raising the hood, and retain it in the fully open position.
!WARNING:
Before closing the hood ensure that no-one is obstructing
the closing area and that hands and clothes are clear.
Remove tools, cleaning cloths, etc., from the engine
compartment.
Close the hood to within a distance of 12 to 14 inches
(30 to 35 cm) of the fully closed position, then let go to allow
the hood to shut. Check by pulling the hood that both the right-
hand and left-hand latches are engaged.

Checking and Top Up
Check Engine Oil Level
Check the oil level regularly with the vehicle on flat, level
ground.
Refer to page 7 - 5 for dipstick and oil filler locations.
It is preferable to check the oil level after the vehicle has been
standing, that is, with th e engine completely cold.
If the engine has been started do not check the oil level until the
engine has reached normal operating temperature. Stop the
engine and wait for a minimum of 5 minutes to allow the oil to
drain back into the sump.
Remove the dipstick ( A) and wipe clean with a non-fluffy cloth.
Replace fully, then wi thdraw the dipstick. If the oil level is above
the lower of the two dots on the dipstick then no additional oil
is required.
If the oil level reaches the lower of the two dots, remove the oil
filler cap ( B) and add oil, to the quantity and specification
shown on the next page.
Refit the filler cap and hand tighten securely.
Caution: Do not use oil additives of any type. Use only
specified lubricants.

Maintenance 7 - 7
Recommended Engine Oil
When the oil level is at the lower dipstick mark, add 1 US quart
(1.0 litre) of oil.Oil specification
– API SJ/EC and ILSAC GF–3
When topping up between oil chan ges, make sure that you use
oil that has the correct quality le vel (API service) and viscosity
grade. Your vehicle’s warranty ma y be invalidated if damage is
caused by use of improper engine oil.
For maximum fuel economy, 5W–30 oil is recommended.
SAE viscosity rating
For climates ranging from –22°F (–30°C) and +122°F (+50°C),
the following oil viscosities may be used:
0W–30
5W–30 (preferred)
0W–40
5W–40
Note: It is recommended that the oil level is topped up using oil
of the same viscosity. If you are unsure which oil viscosity is used
in your car, your Jaguar Retailer will be able to advise.
If you are operating this vehicle in climates outside the above
temperature range, contact your Jaguar Retailer for advice.
