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.

7 - 8 Maintenance
Check Power Steering Fluid
Level
Caution: It is imperative that the
power steering system does not
become contaminated in any way.
Always dispense fluid from a fresh
sealed container and clean the area
around the reservoir neck both
before and after topping up.
Never return drained fluid to the
system.Refer to page 7 - 5 for power steering fluid
reservoir location.
Check the fluid level when the engine is
‘COLD’ and the vehicle is on a flat, level
surface.
The fluid is visible through the
translucent casing of the reservoir.
Check that the fluid level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the side of the
reservoir.
If necessary, top up with power steering
fluid as specified by your Jaguar Retailer.
Wipe clean and remove the filler cap
from the reservoir;
take great care to
prevent any foreign matter from entering.
DO NOT OVERFILL.
Refit the filler cap.
Should the level be ve ry low, report the
loss of fluid to the nearest Jaguar Retailer.
!WARNING:
1. Do not allow power steering fluid to make contact with skin or eyes.
If this happens, rinse the affected
area immediately with plenty of
water.
2. Power steering fluid is toxic and flammable. Be sure to observe all
warnings indicated on the power
steering fluid container.
