spare wheel JAGUAR XJ 2004 X350 / 3.G Owners Manual

6 - 4 Roadside Emergency
Trunk Underfloor Access
The space under the trunk floor houses
the spare wheel, battery, jack and rear
fuse box.
To raise the floor panel, press down the
rear of handle (A) then, holding the
handle at the front, swing the floor panel
upwards ( B). Hook the handle securely
over the top edge of the trunk
opening ( C).
Emergency Starting
This vehicle is fitted with automatic
transmission. In the event of a discharged
battery preventing a normal engine start,
the vehicle cannot be started by pushing
or towing. Either use jump leads
connected to a booster battery (e.g. on
another vehicle) or fit a fully charged
battery (see page 7 - 15).
Emergency Starting Using
Jump Leads
Both the booster and discharged battery
should be treated with great care when
using jump leads. Al ways use high quality
leads capable of carrying the starter
current of the vehicle to be started.
Before commencing, the following
precautions must be taken:
• When the battery of another vehicle is being used, ensure that the vehicles
do not touch. Alternatively, remove
the charged battery and place near to,
not on, the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
• Ensure that both vehicles have all electrical services OFF,
the parkbrakes applied and the
transmission in the ‘P’ (park) position.
• Where the jump leads are of a different colour, e.g. red and black,
use red for positive (+). This aids
identification and helps to avoid
crossing positive (+) to negative (–).
Take extra care to avoid crossing the
polarity when using cables of the
same colour.

Roadside Emergency 6 - 5
Caution:
1. If using a jump start vehicle, under no circumstances should the
vehicles come into contact with
each other. This could establish an
earth connection, which may
cause sparks and damage.
2. Do not run the engine of the jump start vehicle when boost starting a
Jaguar vehicle. If the jump start
vehicle’s engine is running and
the jump leads ar e disconnected,
damage to the Jaguar vehicle’s
electrical system will result.
3. The booster battery voltage must not exceed 12 volts.
The procedure must be followed exactly,
being careful not to cause sparks:
1. Unclip the battery positive (+) terminal cover.
2. Attach one end of the red jump lead to the positive (+) terminal of the
booster battery and the other end to
the positive (+) terminal of the
discharged battery. Make sure that a
good connection is made.
Caution: Do not connect the negative
jump lead directly to the negative (–)
terminal of the discharged vehicle. 3. Attach one end of the black jump lead
to the negative (–) terminal of the
booster battery and the other end to
the earth stud on the left-hand side of
the spare wheel well.
4. Start the engine.
5. When started, allow the engine to idle for five minutes before disconnecting
the cables.
6. Disconnect the black jump lead from the earth point and the booster battery
negative (–) terminal. 7. Disconnect the red jump lead from the
positive (+) terminals of both
batteries.
8. Refit the cover to the positive (+) terminal.
9. Close the trunk floor panel.
After starting the engine, it may be
necessary to reset th e electric parkbrake
as described on page 4 - 34. See also After
battery reconnection on page 7 - 16.

Wheel Changing and
Jacking
Be prepared for a flat tyre. Know where
equipment is stowed and read the wheel
changing and jacking instructions
carefully. Keep the jack screw threads
clean and greased to ensure it is always
ready for an emergency.
Park off the road, clear of all traffic and
on as level, solid ground as possible.
Switch on hazard warning lights and,
where legally required, display the
warning triangle.
!WARNING:
It can be dangerous to change a
wheel when the vehicle is on a slope
or soft, uneven ground.
Temporary-use Spare Wheel
Note: Maintenance information for the
temporary-use spare wheel is the same as
given for normal tyres.
Observe the following warnings before
using the wheel:
!WARNING:
1. Please note th e temporary-use
spare wheel warning label on the
wheel. Adhere to instructions on
the label. Failure to comply can be
dangerous.
2. When a temporary spare wheel is fitted, drive with caution and
replace with the specified wheel
and tyre as soon as possible.
3. Do not fit more than one temporary-use spare wheel and
tyre assembly at a time.
4. The temporary-use spare wheel must be inflated to the correct
pressure.
5. Temporary-use spare wheel maximum speed is 80 km/h
(50 mph).

6 - 8 Roadside Emergency
Spare Wheel and Jack Removal
!WARNING:
Wheels are extremely heavy.
Take care when lifting and
particularly when removing and
replacing a wheel in its storage
position in the luggage compartment.
The spare wheel and jacking equipment
are stored under the trunk floor panel.
Seepage6-4.
To remove the spare wheel, fully unscrew
the locking ring ( A). Unscrew the wing
nut below the locking ring. This allows
wheel retainer ( B) to be lifted and
removed. The wheel can now be lifted
out.

6 - 10 Roadside Emergency
!WARNING:
1. Do not attempt to lift the vehicle unless the jack head is fully
engaged in the jacking point.
2. Ensure that the parkbrake is applied.
Place the jack squarely beneath the
appropriate jacking point. Ensure that the
jack head is fully engaged. Carefully raise
the vehicle by turning the handle.
Stop jacking the vehicle when the tyre
just clears the ground. Minimum tyre lift
gives maximum vehicle stability.
Remove the wheel nuts and the wheel.

When changing the alloy road wheels,
transfer the centre badge to the
replacement wheel. Using the plastic
tipped end of the wheel nut wrench
handle from the inside of the wheel, push
the centre badge from its housing.

This torque must not be exceeded. Stowing the equipment
Stow the replaced road wheel in the
trunk.
Check that the locking ring is unscrewed
fully so that it is as close as possible to the
handle of the wheel retainer. This is to
ensure that the wheel retainer can be
