Health and Safety
!WARNING:
1. Many liquids and other substances used in vehicles are
poisonous and should never be
consumed and must be kept away
from open wounds.
These substances include anti-
freeze, brake fluid, fuel,
windscreen washer additives,
lubricants and various adhesives.
2. The presence of any unusual fumes (for example; petrol or
exhaust fumes) in the passenger
compartment and/or luggage
compartment should be corrected
immediately by a Jaguar Retailer.
If you must drive under these
conditions do so only with all
windows fully open.
3. By operating other electronic equipment (for example; a mobile
phone without an exterior
antenna) electro-magnetic fields
can cause malfunctions of the
vehicle electronics.
Therefore, you should observe the
instructions of the equipment
manufacturers. 4. Any modifications to the fuel
system not specifically designed
for this Jaguar are prohibited.
Such modifications in some
circumstances could result in a
fire. All service actions must be
entrusted to a Jaguar Retailer.
5. Alterations to the electrical system, including the fitting of
accessories not designed for this
Jaguar, will cause damage to the
electrical circuits and systems.
In some circumstances this could
result in a malfunction or fire.
All accessory work should be
entrusted to a Jaguar Retailer.
6. No attempt should be made to repair a fuse that has blown.
Always install a new fuse of the
correct amperage. Failure to
comply with the above may cause
a fire hazard or create serious
damage elsewhere in the
electrical circuit.
7. Avoid contact with battery acid which is poisonous and corrosive.
Acid will cause burns to the skin
as well as to the eyes. In the event
of skin or eye contamination,
wash the affected area with water
thoroughly. Seek immediate medical attention when eye
contact has occurred.
8. Do not disconnect any pipes in the air conditioning refrigeration
system. A refrigerant is used
which can cause blindness if
allowed to contact the eyes.
If refrigerant should contact the
eyes or skin, wash the eyes or
affected area with cold water for
several minutes. Do not rub.
As soon as possible thereafter,
obtain treatment from a doctor or
eye specialist.
9. When working within the engine compartment, take care to avoid
contact with moving parts and hot
components.
10. California Proposition 65: Engine exhaust, some of it’s
constituents, and certain vehicle
components, contain or emit
chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other
reproductive harm.

Protect the Environment
We must all play our part in protecting
the environment. Correct vehicle usage
and disposal of waste cleaning and
lubrication materials are significant steps
towards this aim.
Avoid using high engine speeds. You will
then protect your engine, reduce fuel
consumption, lower the engine noise
level and help towards reducing the
environmental burden.
Dispose of batteries, tyres, engine, brake
and coolant fluids at your local
authorised waste disposal facilities.
Window Tinting
!WARNING:
Do not have your vehicle windows
tinted with a metal oxide tinting (for
maximum heat reduction from sun
load).
Metal oxide tinting prevents the
reception of the Global Positioning
Satellite (GPS) signals by the antenna
causing the navigation system to stop
functioning.
Metal oxide tinting also prevents the
reception of the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) signals by the antenna, causing
reduced operation of the arming/
disarming/locking/unlocking system of the
vehicle.
A non-metal tinting should be used if you
require window tinting and if in doubt,
contact your Jaguar Retailer for advice.
Window marking
It is a worthwhile precaution to have the
vehicle registration number etched into
each window glass by a Jaguar Retailer.
Mobile/Portable
Telephones
!WARNING:
Using a mobile/portable telephone
without an exterior antenna is not
recommended when driving as the
electro-magnetic fields produced can
cause malfunctions with the vehicle
electronic systems.
Check the laws and regulations on the
use of cellular telephones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them. Also,
give full attention to driving.
Use hands-free operation (if fitted) and
pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call, if driving conditions
so require.

Floor mat retention
Ensure that the driver floor mat is
correctly positioned and secured under
the tongue on the retention post (A),
so that it does not interfere with the
operation of the accelerator pedal or the
brake pedal.
The positioning of the mat should be
especially checked when refitted after
removal for cleaning or servicing.

Security and Locks 2 - 3
2 Security and Locks
Ignition Switch
The fascia-mounted ignition switch,
on the right-hand side of the steering
column, has four key positions:
0.Ignition OFF – This is the only
position in which the key can be
inserted and removed.
I. Auxiliary – Allows use of some
electrical circuits, for example, radio
and window oper ation (accessory
delay only).
II. Ignition ON – All electrical circuits
except the starter motor are
activated. The key remains in this
position when driving. III.
Engine start – The starter motor is
operated for as long as the key is held
in this position, against spring
pressure.
When the key is turned back to the OFF
position, the delayed accessory feature
becomes active.
The circuits available in the auxiliary
position remain activated for a preset
timed period or until a front door is
opened.
To Remove the Ignition Key
Automatic transmissi on vehicles have a
key interlock feature.
Apply the electronic parkbrake, move the
gear selector to the Park ‘P’ position and
turn the key to position ‘0’.
The automatic transmis sion gear selector
must be placed in Park ‘P’ before the key
can be removed from the ignition switch.
When the key is removed, the gear
selector will be locked in Park.
Steering Column Lock
The steering column lock is controlled by
the ignition switch.
When the key is removed from the
ignition switch, you will hear the steering
column lock engage.
When the key is inserted into the ignition
switch, you will hear the steering column
lock disengage.
In rare circumstances, it may be
necessary to gently turn the steering
wheel from side to side to release the
steering column lock.
Gearshift Interlock
A brake pedal/gearshift interlock system
is incorporated in the automatic
transmission gear selector mechanism.
To move the gear selector from Park:
1. Turn the ignition key to position ‘II’ or start the engine.
2. Press the brake pedal.

2 - 4 Security and Locks
Vehicle Security
When the vehicle is unoccupied or
unattended, you are advised to do the
following:
• Apply the electronic parkbrake and move the gear selector to the
Park ‘P’ position.
• Do not leave children or pets in the vehicle unattended.
• Do not leave luggage or valuables on display.
• Remove all keys, including remote transmitters, from the vehicle prior to
locking the doors, even when the
vehicle is in your garage.
• Close all windows, hood, luggage compartment and glove
compartment, and lock all the doors.
• Park the vehicle where it can be seen. At night, park in a well-lit area.
• It is important to keep your keys in safe places at all times. Leaving them
in conspicuous places is an invitation
for a thief to steal them and,
consequently, your vehicle or
belongings. Keep them as secure as
you would your wallet or purse, both
at home and away.
Key Transmitter
The security system is controlled
remotely by a radio frequency, battery-
operated, integrated transmitter key.
The transmitter is ac tivated by pressing
one of the operating buttons.
( A ) – Unlocks and disarms the vehicle.
( B ) – Releases the luggage compartment
lock.
( C ) – Activates the convenience headlamp
feature and sounds the panic alarm.
For further information on the
convenience headlamp feature,
see Headlight convenience on
page 4 - 24.
( D ) – Locks and arms the vehicle.
( E ) – Locks/unlocks the key.
To free the key, press the release
button ( E). When not required press and
hold the button and fold the key into the
transmitter housing.

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.

Brake (RED)
Lights up when:
• The ignition is ON and the parkbrake is ON.
• There is a fault with the parkbrake.
• The brake fluid is low.
If the light is ON and there are no
associated messages it means that the
parkbrake is applied.
If the light flashes, th ere is a fault with the

or both, brake circuits may be imminent.
!WARNING:
If the message ‘LOW BRAKE FLUID’ is
displayed, DO NOT drive the vehicle
until the fault is rectified. Consult a
Jaguar Retailer immediately.
Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) (AMBER)
If a fault has been detected in
the anti-lock brake
system (ABS) or the electric
parkbrake system, this light will
illuminate.
A warning message will appear with this
light to indicate either ABS fault or
parkbrake fault.
The brake system will continue to
function normally, but without ABS
braking.
Should the light come on or stay on after
the bulb check cycle, stop the vehicle at
the first opportunity, turn the engine OFF
and then restart.
If the ABS light comes on again,
the vehicle should be driven to a Jaguar
Retailer at the earliest opportunity.
!WARNING:
If the ABS and brake warning lights
are ON at the same time, DO NOT
drive the vehicle until the fault is
rectified. Consult a Jaguar Retailer
immediately.
