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.

Windscreen Wash/Wipe
Push the button on the end of the switch
to obtain the wash/wipe programme.
If the wipers are selected off or
intermittent, the washers will operate at
slow speed during the washing action
when the button is pressed. When the
button is released, the wipers will
complete up to three further wipes.
A single wipe will take place 4 seconds
after the last wipe to clear any drips of
water from the windscreen.
If rain sensitive wipers are fitted and
selected then the wipers will operate until
no moisture is detected.
Headlight Powerwash
The headlight powerwash units (if fitted)
are mounted betw een the front
headlights.
The headlight powerwash feature will
operate if the ignition is in position ‘II’
and dipped or main beam headlights are
switched ON. It will not operate if the
washer fluid level is low.
When the windscreen wash/wipe button
is pressed, the headlight powerwash
directs two short burs ts, 3 seconds apart,
at the headlights. If the wash/wipe button
is held, the headlamp wash cycle will
continue for up to 20 seconds.
The headlight powerwash will operate the
first time the wash/w ipe button is pressed
and thereafter every sixth succeeding
wash/wipe operation. If the headlights or
ignition are switched OFF and ON again,
headlight powerwash will operate on the
next press of the wash/wipe button. Note:
If the washer fluid level is low in
the reservoir the windscreen wipers will
not operate when windscreen wash is
selected even though there may be washer
fluid remaining in the reservoir and
sprayed onto the screen. This is to prevent
damage to the blades , or scratching of the
glass, or smearing dirt across the screen.

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.

7-10 Maintenance
Check Windscreen/Headlight
Washer Reservoir
Refer to page 7 - 5 for windscreen washer
reservoir location.
The washer reservoir contains the fluid
for the windscreen washers and the
headlight powerwash system (where
fitted).
Fill to just below th e neck with Jaguar
Windscreen Washer Fl uid diluted with
clean, preferably soft water as specified in
the instructions on the bottle.
Do not overfill.
Note: Using a non-approved fluid may
adversely affect the wiper blade rubber,
resulting in ineffectual and noisy wiping. Cold weather precautions
To prevent damage to the pump during
freezing conditions, use Jaguar
Windscreen Washer Fluid at the strength
shown on the bottle, for the anticipated
ambient temperature.
!WARNING:
1. Windscreen washer fluid is toxic and in concentrated form is
flammable. Be sure to observe all
warnings indicated on the washer
solution container.
Under no circumstances must
cooling system anti-freeze be
used, since this will damage the
paintwork.
2. State or local regulations on volatile organic compounds may
restrict the use of methanol,
a common windscreen washer
anti-freeze additive. Washer fluids
containing non-methanol anti-
freeze agents should be used only
if they provide cold weather
protection without damaging the
vehicle’s paint finish, wiper blades
or washer system.
