-airbag deactivated - indicator light
ON.
•Seat with heavy occupant/object - airbag activated - indicator light OFF.
•* Seat completely empty - airbag deactivated - indicator light OFF.
*It is possible to receive an intermittent indicator light with an empty seat condition. This is part of the system adaptive behaviour and does not affect the status of the passenger airbag deployment.
However, if the indicator light becomes permanently illuminated when the seat is definitely empty, then consult your nearest Jaguar Dealer/ Authorised Repairer immediately.

Filling Station Information
Fuel Type
Petrol models - Unleaded 95 RON.
Diesel models - Diesel fuel to EN 590 or equivalent.
Caution: DIESEL ENGINES - If you inadvertently fill your vehicle with petrol instead of diesel, do not attempt to start the engine.
Contact your Jaguar Dealer/ Authorised Repairer immediately. Attempting to start the engine with petrol in the fuel tank will cause extensive damage to the engine and fuel system, which will not be covered by your Jaguar warranty.
Jaguar can accept no responsibility for any damage caused by running your vehicle with petrol or vegetable oil in the fuel tank.
Diesel engines only: Driver’s should expect above normal fuel consumption when the engine is new and ‘bedding-in’. After a period, the fuel comsumption will gradually improve to expected fuel consumption levels.
Caution: Do not use RME (bio-diesel) except in the case of proprietary diesel fuels which contain a mix of up to 5%.
Note: Vehicles with a diesel engine have a yellow filler cap.
Fuel Filling
Press the fuel filler flap release. This is located on the driver’s knee bolster switch below the fascia, see page 151.
The filler flap is located on the right-hand side of the vehicle.
For quickness and to completely fill the tank, ensure that the fuel nozzle rests on the bottom of the filler neck.
Incorrect closure of the fuel filler cap may result in check engine light (malfunction indicator light) illuminating.
After refuelling, refit the fuel filler cap in the filler neck, twist the filler cap clockwise until it clicks and close the flap, which automatically locks shut.

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 underbonnet area or inside the vehicle.
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.
Owners are responsible for the regular maintenance and servicing of the vehicle. Jaguar Dealers/Authorised Repairers 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.
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.
24
R
General Information
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 Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Vehicle Identification

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:
•
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.
•
•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.
•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 Dealer/Authorised Repairer for specialist advice.

General Information
On-board Event Data
Service Data Recording
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.
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 Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice.

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.
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.

Health and Safety
Health and Safety
!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, petrol, diesel or exhaust fumes) in the passenger compartment and/or luggage compartment should be corrected immediately by a Jaguar Dealer/ Authorised Repairer. 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 Dealer/ Authorised Repairer.
•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.
•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 Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
•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.
•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.
