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.

Messages
The table on this and the following pages lists all messages and warning lights and explains their meaning.
Message Warning
Light Priority
Indicator Meaning
LOW BRAKE FLUID Brake Red Displayed when the brake fluid level is low. Complete loss of braking may occur.
!WARNING:
DO NOT drive the vehicle until the fault is rectified. Consult a Jaguar
Retailer immediately.
ENGINE
COOLANT LOW None Red Displayed when the coolant level in
the reservoir is too low or is empty.
Check temperature gauge often. The coolant reservoir should be topped up at the
earliest opportunity and any leaks repaired.
CATS SYSTEM FAULT None Amber Displayed when a fault is detected in the adaptive damping (CATS) system (only those vehicles fitted with adaptive damping suspension). Report the fault to a
Jaguar Retailer at the earliest opportunity.
RESTRICTED
PERFORMANCE None Red This will be displayed when the vehicl
e has possible loss of power or driveability.
Report the fault to a Jaguar Retailer.

Maintenance 7 - 11
Check Coolant Level
Refer to page 7 - 5 for coolant header tank
location.
The coolant level MAX and MIN
indicators are located inside the reservoir
and are only visible when looking into the
filler neck with the cap removed. Check
the level only when the engine is cold.
The coolant level shou ld be between the
MAX and MIN indicators. If persistent
coolant loss is noticed, have a Jaguar
Retailer investigate the cause
immediately.
!WARNING:
Do not remove the coolant header
tank filler/pressure cap while the
engine is hot. If the cap must be
removed, protect the hands against
escaping steam and slowly turn the
cap anti-clockwise until the steam
starts to escape. Leave the cap in this
position until the pressure is
released, and then remove the cap.
Topping up
!WARNING:
Do not allow anti-freeze to make
contact with skin or eyes. If this
happens, rinse the affected area
immediately with plenty of water.
Caution: Anti-freeze will damage
paintwork. Avoid spillage.
Top up with a mixture of 50% water and
50% anti-freeze until the coolant is
between the MAX and MIN indicators
inside the header tank. Use anti-freeze to
specification WSS M97B44, coloured
orange, Extended Life Coolant.
Refit the filler cap and hand-tighten
securely until the ratchet operates. Engine anti-freeze
When used at the correct concentration,
anti-freeze not only protects the engine
from frost damage in winter, it also
provides all year round protection against
internal corrosion.
The cooling system should always be
topped up or refilled with the specified
anti-freeze at the correct concentration.
This 50/50% mixture gives frost
protection for temperatures down to
–40°F (–40°C).
Do not mix any other anti-freeze with
that specified; inferior quality anti-freeze
may be ineffective in maintaining
adequate frost and corrosion protection
to the cooling system.
The coolant solution
may remain in the
cooling system for five years or
156,000 miles (250,000 km) after which
the system should be drained, flushed
and refilled.
Engine block heater
For further information consult your
Jaguar Retailer.
Caution: The fitting of an engine
block heater does not eliminate the
need for anti-freeze under freezing
conditions.
