General Information

Owner Information

Introduction

Whether you are new to the Jaguar marque or have previously owned Jaguar vehicles, we are pleased that you have made Jaguar your choice of vehicle this time.

For safety and the pleasure you will get from your new vehicle, please take the time to get well acquainted with your vehicle by reading the handbooks.

Details of the vehicle warranty are contained within the ‘Passport to Service’ booklet for USA and Canada or, for Mexico, the ‘Service Portfolio’ book.

When left-hand or right-hand is used in the text, this refers to the left-hand side or right-hand side of the vehicle, viewed from the rear.

This Handbook describes every option and model variant available and therefore some of the items covered may not apply to your particular vehicle.

Jaguar Retailers

Jaguar Retailers are chosen with care. Each is dedicated to providing a Sales, Service and Spare Parts facility of the highest standard.

Jaguar Retailers are provided with full technical support from the factory, with comprehensive training for all their technicians. Retailers’ workshops operate to a high standard and have all the necessary tools and equipment essential to maintain or repair Jaguar vehicles.

Genuine Jaguar parts and accessories

Your Jaguar Retailer can supply you with genuine replacement parts and accessories which are fully approved to Jaguar’s original equipment specification. This will ensure that the safety and performance of your vehicle is maintained for your complete peace of mind.

Please note that fitment of non-genuine parts may invalidate the vehicle warranty if a subsequent fault occurs due to fitting sub-standard replacement parts or accessories.

Jaguar parts distribution service

Jaguar Retailers stock a large number of parts to keep your vehicle maintained and get you back on the road as quickly as possible.

Their service is supported by strategically positioned Jaguar parts distribution centres throughout North America providing next day delivery to the majority of Retailers.

Accessories

A full range of Jaguar Engineering approved accessories including safety, stowage, touring, leisure and lifestyle products are just some of those available from your Jaguar Retailership.

Please ask your Jaguar Retailer for an up-to-date brochure so you can select your requirements from the latest range.

General Information

Warnings, Cautions and Notes

Take particular note of WARNINGS, Cautions and Notes given throughout this handbook.

WARNING:

A warning is a procedure which must be followed precisely to help avoid the risk of personal injury.

Caution: A caution is a procedure which must be followed precisely to reduce the possibility of damage to the vehicle and resultant risk of personal injury or inconvenience.

Note: A note is a procedure which will help avoid difficulties in the operation of the vehicle.

Warning Symbols on the Vehicle

On encountering the warning triangle or open book symbol on the vehicle, it is important that before touching this part of the vehicle or attempting adjustments of any kind you consult the relevant section of this handbook.

Caution: Do not remove any warning labels from the underhood area or inside the vehicle.

Reporting Safety Defects (USA only)

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Jaguar Cars.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.

However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your Retailer, or Jaguar Cars.

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1–800–424–9393 (or 366–0123 in Washington D.C. area) or write to:

NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590.

To contact Jaguar Cars, call 1–800 4 Jaguar.

You can also obtain other information about motor safety from the Hotline.

Vehicle Handbooks

Remember to pass on the Vehicle Handbooks when reselling the vehicle. Handbooks are integral parts of the vehicle.

Regular Servicing

Each vehicle is given a full ‘Pre-Delivery Inspection’ to ensure that all systems function correctly and that the vehicle meets its specification.

General Information

Owners are responsible for the regular maintenance and servicing of the vehicle. Jaguar Retailers will be pleased to arrange periodic servicing and can provide you with details of tasks carried out at each service interval.

Failure to implement maintenance at the recommended intervals could result in deterioration of vehicle performance and possible infringement of regulations.

Regular routine maintenance not only helps to prevent unnecessary ‘breakdowns’ and inconvenience, but enhances the ‘trade in’ or resale value of the vehicle.

USA and Canada

Jaguar Retailers will arrange for appointments on a mileage/distance or time interval basis to ensure that all routine and corrective maintenance work is undertaken and recorded in the ‘Passport to Service’ Booklet. This booklet not only contains a record of vital information, but also information about warranties, Jaguar Cars, Jaguar Car Clubs, Tyre Manufacturers and change of ownership or address vouchers.

Mexico

Jaguar Retailers will arrange for appointments on a mileage/distance or time interval basis to ensure that all routine and corrective maintenance work is undertaken and recorded in the ‘Service Portfolio’ Book. This booklet not only contains a record of vital information, but also information about warranty.

Jaguar Diagnostic System

Many of the vehicle systems are controlled by complex electronic devices. Specialist equipment is required to trace and rectify faults in the systems and ensure that only faulty components are repaired or renewed.

Caution: Severe damage to the electrical system and electronic components can occur if any attempt is made to diagnose faults in the electrical system using conventional diagnostic equipment (for example, the use of test lamps or low impedance voltmeters). The fitting of any electrical accessory should only be entrusted to a Jaguar Retailer.

Vehicle Identification

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

It is essential that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is quoted in all correspondence and when ordering replacement parts.

The number is visible from outside the vehicle, on a plate in the lower left edge of the windscreen.

Certification Label

Vehicles have the Certification Label adhered to the left-hand front door hinge post. Vehicle weights, paint code, manufacture date and the VIN are shown on this plate.

Engine number

V6: The number is located on the lower

left-hand side of the cylinder block near the bedplate.

General Information

V8: The number is located on the rear

left-hand side of the cylinder block, either adjacent to the transmission flange, or on the left-hand side web towards the rear of the cylinder block.

Transmission number

On a metal label or bar code label attached to the transmission casing.

Floor Mat Retention

Ensure that the driver’s floor mat is correctly positioned and secured under the tongues on the retention posts (1, only one post shown), so that the mat does not interfere with the operation of the accelerator, clutch or brake pedals.

In particular, check the position of the mat when refitting after cleaning or servicing.

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.

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.

• Using any hand-held appliance while driving can be dangerous and is illegal in certain countries.

• Always stop the vehicle before making a call and ensure that the telephone is switched off while you are driving.

General Information

Leather Care Guide

Leather is a natural product, therefore, it bears natural characteristics, such as grain variations, growth and brush marks. These non-weakening marks show the true nature of the hide and are the hallmarks of a leather product. Leather is an easy to maintain natural product, however, dust and substances can penetrate the pores and crease the leather, causing surface wear and brittleness.

To prevent ingrained dirt and staining, inspect the seat upholstery regularly and clean every one to two months as follows:

• Wipe off fine dust from the seat surfaces at regular intervals using a clean, damp, non-coloured cloth. Change frequently to a clean area of cloth to avoid abrasive action on the leather surface. Avoid over-wetting.

• If this is not sufficient, use a cloth which has been dampened with warm soapy water and then wrung out. Never allow the leather to be soaked through. Use only mild non-caustic soap.

• Use Jaguar Leather Cleaner for heavily soiled areas. Dry off and rub with a clean soft cloth, changing surfaces regularly.

When staining (eg: from clothing) or spillage occurs, clean the affected area immediately as described above.

It is recommended that Jaguar Leather Cleaner is used several times a year to maintain its appearance and suppleness. The Jaguar Leather Cleaner will nourish and moisturise the leather and help to improve and renew the surface protective film against dust and substances.

• Do not use solvents such as petrol (gasoline), white spirit or alcohol. Do not use detergents, furniture polish or household cleaners. Such strong treatments may give, initially, an impressive appearance, but their use will lead to rapid damage or deterioration of the natural properties of the leather. Jaguar recommend a basic set of products that have been specially selected for the type of leather in your vehicle. The Manufacturer’s Warranty will be invalidated if treatments are used other than those recommended by Jaguar Cars Limited.

• Dark clothing may stain leather seats just like other upholstery products.

• Sharp objects such as belts, zip fasteners, rivets, etc. can leave permanent scratches and scratch marks on the leather surface.

• Unless spillages such as tea, coffee or ink are washed away immediately, permanent staining may have to be accepted.

If a valet service is used, ensure that the specialist concerned is aware of, and follows these instructions precisely.

For any further questions please consult your Jaguar Retailer for specialist advice.

General Information

Window Tinting

WARNING:

Do not have your vehicle windows tinted with a metal oxide tinting (for maximum heat reduction from sun load) if you have a navigation system fitted to your vehicle.

Metal oxide tinting prevents the reception of the Global Positioning System (GPS) signals by the antenna, causing the navigation system to stop functioning.

A non-metal tinting should be used if you require window tinting and if in doubt, contact your Jaguar Retailer for advice.

Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and storing diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentially includes information about the performance or status of various systems and modules in the vehicle, such as engine, throttle, steering or brake systems.

In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Jaguar Cars Limited and service and repair facilities may access vehicle diagnostic information through a direct connection to your vehicle when diagnosing or servicing your vehicle.

Event Data Recording

Other modules in your vehicle - event data recorders - are capable of collecting and storing data during a crash or near crash event. The recorded information may assist in the investigation of such an event. The modules may record information about both the vehicle and the occupants, potentially including information such as:

• How various systems in your vehicle were operating.

• Whether or not the driver and passenger seat belts were buckled.

• How far, if at all, the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or the brake pedal.

• How fast the vehicle was travelling.

• Where the driver was positioning the

steering wheel.

To access this information special equipment must be directly connected to the recording modules. Jaguar Cars Limited do not access event data recorder information without obtaining consent, unless pursuant to court order or where required by law enforcement, other government authorities or third parties acting with lawful authority.

Other parties may seek to access the information independently of Jaguar Cars Limited.

WARNING:

• 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.

• The presence of any unusual fumes (for example, petrolor 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• When working within the engine compartment, take care to avoid contact with moving parts and hot components, and ensure that any metal objects do not short circuit the battery connections.

• California Proposition 65: Engine exhaust, some of its 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. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

• 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.

Health and Safety

• 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.
