Safety Precautions

!

WARNING:

1. Many liquids and other substances used in vehicles are
poisonous and must never be consumed and should
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 (e.g. petrol or
exhaust fumes) in the passenger compartment and/or
luggage compartment should be corrected
immediately by a Jaguar Dealer. If you must drive
under these conditions do so only with all windows
fully open.

3. 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.

4. Alterations to the electrical system, including the
fitting of accessories not designed for this Jaguar may
cause damage to the electrical circuits and systems. In
some circumstances this could result in a fire. All
accessory work should be entrusted to a Jaguar Dealer.

5. No attempt should be made to repair a fuse that has
blown. Always install a fuse of the correct amperage
(see the fuse charts on pages 4-17 to 4-21). Failure to
comply with the above may cause a fire hazard or
serious damage elsewhere in the electrical circuit.

(continued)

6. 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.

7. Never reverse the battery terminal connections.
Always disconnect both terminals before battery
charging.

8. When disconnecting the battery connections, always
disconnect the earth terminal first and reconnect last.

9. Batteries produce combustible gas (hydrogen) when
charging. Switch off the charger before connecting or
disconnecting terminal connections to avoid sparks
and short circuits.

10.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.

FIRST AID: 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.

automatic car washes.

Exterior Care

Valet Kit

A valet kit containing a selection of Car Care products is
available from the Jaguar accessory range.

All the cleaning materials mentioned in this section are

Note:

available from the Jaguar Accessory Range.

Washing

For best results, do not wash the vehicle under strong sunlight.
Always allow the vehicle to cool down before washing.

Do not use a dry cloth to wipe dirty paintwork. Dust and gritty
substances are abrasive and will scratch the paintwork. Remove
dirt using a cellulose sponge and plenty of warm (never hot)
water. Rinse off with clean water and dry using a clean, damp
chamois leather.

Do not use household soaps or detergents. The use of Jaguar
Vehicle Shampoo is recommended.

Do not direct hoses at full force around door and luggage
compartment seals. Using high pressure water jets on the
paintwork is not recommended.

Do not allow bird droppings or tree sap to harden. Remove from
paintwork immediately with a lukewarm soap and water
solution.

In winter, when salt is used on the roads, wash the vehicle
frequently, and immediately after encountering such conditions.
Clean undersides and wheel arches using a high pressure jet.

Automatic Car Wash

Regular use of automatic car washes tends to dull the

Note:

lustre of the paintwork.

Before entering the car wash it is essential to:

Switch off the radio to retract the aerial,
Remove wing mounted telephone antennas,
Fold down screen mounted telephone antennas,
Fold in door mounted rear view mirrors.

If your vehicle is fitted with a Jaguar approved cellular

Note:

telephone, you are advised to switch the telephone and the
ignition OFF.

After leaving the car wash, switch on the windscreen wiper
immediately to remove water and prevent a build up of wax.
Jaguar Screen Clean Paste can be used to clean any residual wax
from the glass.

Removing Grease and Tar

Remove grease or tar with Jaguar Tar Remover or methylated
spirit (alcohol). White spirit is also effective, but must not be
applied to rubber, particularly the windscreen wiper blade.

2-2 Cleaning

Exterior Care

Alloy Road Wheels

Alloy wheels have an anti-corrosion protective coating, which
should not be damaged.

Wash the wheels at two week intervals to avoid an accumulation
of particles which could become embedded in the wheel
surface.

An Alloy Wheel Clean Kit is included in the Jaguar accessory
range.

In salty conditions the wheels should be cleaned weekly.

Chromium-plated Alloy Road Wheels

It is recommended that chromium-plated alloy road wheels are
cleaned using Jaguar Vehicle Shampoo and Chrome Polish.

Caution: Do NOT use proprietary wheel cleaners.

Glass Surfaces

To avoid scratching glass surfaces,

paper or cloth. Use clean, warm water and a chamois

Cleaning 2-3

Exterior Care

Underbonnet cleaning

Underbonnet cleaning using high pressure hoses or steam
cleaners should be done by a Jaguar Dealer. Indiscriminate use
of cleaning equipment could damage or contaminate the
electronic control modules and fuse boxes.

Aerial Care

Regular cleaning with a special aerial cleaner, will ensure
smooth and reliable operation of the aerial.

Always wipe the aerial in an upwards direction.
Lubricate using an aerial maintenance wipe cloth.
In freezing conditions check that no ice has formed over the top

of the aerial, which could prevent it being raised and cause
damage to the motor.

The Jaguar Aerial Cleaning Kit contains the necessary
maintenance items.

Paint Chips

Scratches and chips should be touched in before weathering
action begins. Inspect the paintwork immediately after the
vehicle has been washed.

(continued)

Interior Care

Brush and clean the interior regularly. Use a vacuum cleaner
where possible to remove all dust from the interior and trim.

Carpets

Marks or stains can be removed by gentle scrubbing with a weak
solution of soap and warm water.

For more stubborn stains a commercially available carpet
cleaner should be used. See your Jaguar Dealer for advice.

Headlining

Remove dust in the headlining with a vacuum cleaner. To
remove stains, rub briskly without pressing, using a lint-free
white cloth, moistened with methylated spirit.

Leather Upholstery

Dust and dirt can penetrate the pores and creases of leather,
causing surface wear and brittleness. Clean regularly to
maintain the leather in first class condition.

Wipe the surfaces using a cloth dampened with warm soapy
water; avoid flooding. Rinse with clean water. Allow to dry and
rub with a clean soft cloth. Use Jaguar Leather Cleaner for
heavily soiled areas.

Use only mild non-caustic soap. Do not use petrol, detergents or
household cleaners, as these could damage the leather.

The appearance and durability can be improved by using Jaguar
Hide Food and Jaguar Leather Conditioner.

Checking and Replenishment

Check/Top Up Engine Oil Level

Check the oil level regularly with the
vehicle on flat, level ground.

Refer to page 3-2 for dipstick and oil filler
locations.

It is preferable to check the oil level after
the vehicle has been standing, that is,
with the engine completely cold.

If the engine has been started do not
check the oil level until the engine has
reached normal operating temperature.
Stop the engine and wait for a minimum
of 2 minutes to allow the oil to drain back
into the sump.

Remove the dipstick and wipe clean with
a non-fluffy cloth. Replace fully, then
withdraw the dipstick.

If the oil level is on or above the lower of
the two dots on the dipstick then no
additional oil is required.

If the oil level is below the lower of the
two dots, remove the oil filler cap and
add 1 quart (1 litre) of the correct
specification oil.

Lubricant and fluid specifications are
detailed on page 3-9.

Refit the filler cap and hand tighten
securely.

The supercharger (where fitted) is oil
filled-for-life and does not require any
checks to be made by the driver.

extreme care; brake fluid must not
contact the vehicle paintwork.

2. Always use fresh, clean fluid from
a new container. Never introduce
used brake fluid into the system.

See page 3-2 for brake fluid reservoir
location.

After removal of the cover, the fluid is
visible through the translucent casing of
the reservoir and must be maintained at
the ‘MAX’ mark.

If necessary, top up as follows:
Before removing the cap, clean the

reservoir and cap thoroughly with a lint
free cloth to ensure that no foreign matter
enters the reservoir.

Unscrew the filler cap and top up to the
‘MAX’ level using new Jaguar brake fluid,
specification Jaguar ITT SUPER DOT 4.
This is a non-mineral polyglycol based
brake fluid.

Refit the filler cap securely.
To avoid contamination should any brake

fluid be spilt, replace the cap on the
reservoir before cleaning the spilt fluid
from the vehicle.

JLX-154

Checking and Replenishment

(continued)

Checking Coolant Level

The coolant level must only be checked
when the engine is COLD.

See page 3-2 for coolant header tank
location and page 3-8 for the coolant
specification.

!

WARNING:

Do not remove the coolant expansion
tank filler/pressure cap while the
engine is hot. If the cap must be
removed, protect the hands against
escaping steam and slowly turn the
cap anti-clockwise until the excess
pressure can escape. Leave the cap in
this position until all the steam and
pressure have escaped, and then
remove the cap completely.

The coolant should be level with the
bottom of the filler neck of the header
tank. If persistent coolant loss is noticed
have a Jaguar Dealer investigate the cause
immediately.

Refit the filler cap and hand tighten
securely.

Topping up
Caution: Anti-freeze will damage

paintwork. Avoid spillage.

Top up until the coolant is level with the
bottom of the filler neck.

Use the correct concentration of Jaguar
Anti-freeze/Coolant/ Corrosion Inhibitor.

3-8 Routine checks

Cooling System

The cooling system should be filled or
topped up with a mixture of 50 per cent
demineralised water and 50 per cent
Jaguar Anti-freeze, Coolant and Corrosion
Inhibitor conforming to specification
WSS M97B44-D, coloured orange,
Extended Life Coolant.

This anti-freeze mixture gives frost
protection for temperatures down to

-40°C (-40°F).

Caution: Do not mix with anti-freeze
of a different specification as this
would damage the cooling system.

Engine Anti-freeze

Anti-freeze, when used at the correct
concentration, not only protects the
engine from frost damage in winter, it
also provides all year round protection
against internal corrosion.

Use only anti-freeze to specification
WSS M97B44-D, coloured orange,
Extended Life Coolant. Inferior quality
anti-freeze may be ineffective in
maintaining adequate frost and corrosion
protection to the cooling system.

The coolant solution may remain in the
cooling system for five years or,
150 000 miles (240 000 kilometres) after
which the cooling system should be
drained, flushed and refilled.

!

WARNING:

Do not allow anti-freeze to make
contact with skin or eyes. If this
should happen, rinse the affected
area immediately with plenty of
water.

Engine Block Heater

If the vehicle is to be started at
temperatures of –30°C (–22°F) and lower,
it is recommended that an engine block
heater is fitted and used. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the drive belt.

For further information consult your
Jaguar Dealer.

Caution: The fitting of an engine
block heater does not eliminate
(lessen) the need for anti-freeze
under freezing conditions.

Routine checks 3-9

Recommended Engine Oil

Jacking

!

WARNING:

Never work under the vehicle using only the jack as a
support, always use axle stands or suitable supports
under the jacking points.

Observe the instructions printed on the jack.
Use the jack only for lifting the vehicle during wheel changing,

and only use the jack which is stored in the vehicle.
Do not start or run the engine while the vehicle is only

supported by a jack.
Note: When one rear wheel is lifted off the ground the

automatic transmission ‘P’ (Park) position will not prevent the
vehicle from moving and possibly slipping off the jack.

There are four jacking points, two each side. These provide
positive location for the jack and are on the underside of the
floor near each wheel. Remove the rubber cover from the end of
the jacking point adjacent to the road wheel to be changed.

Caution: Never use bumpers or any other part of the body
to lift the vehicle.

Emergency Starting

Rolling Start
A start by pushing or towing cannot be achieved on a

vehicle with automatic transmission.

Emergency Starting using Jump Leads

Both the booster and discharged battery should be treated with
great care when using jump leads. Always use high quality leads
capable of carrying the starter current of the vehicle to be
started.

Before commencing, the following precautions must be taken:

1. 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.

2. Ensure that both vehicles have all electrical services OFF, the
handbrake is ON and the transmission is in Park.

3. 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.

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 jump start vehicle’s engine when boost
starting a Jaguar Vehicle. If the jump start vehicle’s
engine is running and the jump leads are
disconnected, damage to the Jaguar vehicle’s electrical
system will result.

3. The booster battery voltage must not exceed 12 volts.

Continued

Emergency Starting (continued)

The following procedure must be followed exactly, being careful
not to cause sparks.

1. Apply the handbrake, select Park and turn off all the vehicles
electrical services.

2. Remove the luggage compartment floor panels.

3. Unclip the battery positive (+) terminal cover.

4. 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.

5. Attach one end of the black jump lead to the negative (–)
terminal of the booster battery and the other end to an earth
point on the vehicle being started. (See illustration). The earth
point must be at least 12 inches (305 mm) from the
discharged battery. Make sure that a good connection is
made.

6. When started, allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes before
disconnecting the cables.

7. Disconnect the black jump lead from the earth point and the
booster battery negative (–) terminal.

8. Disconnect the red jump lead from the positive (+) terminals
of both batteries.

9. Refit the positive (+) terminal cover.

10. Refit the luggage compartment floor panels.

Vehicle Recovery

The preferred vehicle recovery method is by using a flat bed
transporter or rear suspended tow. The front and rear towing
loops are primarily for emergency use when towing for SHORT
DISTANCES, e.g. removing the vehicle if it is causing an
obstruction or for winching the vehicle onto a recovery
transporter.

Transporting

If the vehicle is being transported on a trailer or vehicle flat bed
transporter, the handbrake must be applied, the wheels chocked
and the gear selector lever moved to position ‘N’ or ‘D’ but
NEVER to ‘P’.

The vehicle must be securely tied down to the transporter or
trailer. There are four transporter tie-down brackets on the
vehicle underbody. Do not attach tie-down hooks to the towing
loops.

Suspended Towing

Ensure that the recovery team follow these instructions:
Do not tow with sling-type equipment since damage to the

bodywork may result.

Caution: Do not tow vehicle by suspending the front end.

1. Remove the key from the ignition switch.

2. Raise the rear of the vehicle using a ‘spectacle frame’ type
lifting device where a cradle is positioned under each rear
wheel, as indicated.

Vehicles with Defective Automatic Transmission

The vehicle must be towed with the rear wheels clear of the
ground.

JLX-147

Towing Loops
Caution: The towing loops are not suitable for ‘solid bar

towing’.
Care must be taken to avoid damaging the bumpers and
front apron.

The front loop is welded to the right-hand bumper mounting
bracket.

Turn the three fasteners (A) anti-clockwise and remove the grille
vane (B) before using the front towing loop.

The rear eye is welded to the right-hand side of the luggage
compartment underfloor panel.

Always obey towing regulations: In certain countries the
registration number of the towing vehicle and an ‘ON TOW’
sign or warning triangle must be displayed in a prominent
position at the rear of the vehicle being towed.

When being towed, the vehicle’s gear selector lever must be in
neutral (position ‘N’) with the ignition key turned to position ‘II’
to release the steering lock and render the indicators, horn and
brake lights operational.

Vehicles may be towed for SHORT DISTANCES (maximum

0.5 mile/0.8 kilometre) with the gear selector lever in
position ‘N’ provided a speed of 30 mph (48 km/h) is not
exceeded.

5 Vehicle maintenance

Vehicle maintenance 5-1

Introduction

Owners are responsible for ensuring that
the vehicle is regularly maintained and
serviced at the correct mileage/time
intervals as specified in the ‘Maintenance
Schedules’. The first part of this section
deals with regular servicing.

The condition of the tyres is of the utmost
importance. Advice about tyre wear and
correct usage is given in this section. If in
any doubt about the condition of your
tyres, contact a Jaguar Dealer.

Regular Servicing

Regular maintenance and servicing is the
responsibility of the owner.
Jaguar Dealers will be pleased to arrange
periodic servicing in accordance with the
USA and Mexico
Booklet or Canadian
Warranty and Benefits Information
Booklet.

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

‘Passport to Service’

‘Club Jaguar’

Tool Kit

A tool kit is provided for some vehicles/
markets and is located under the bonnet,
on the passenger side, in a tray on the
bulhead extension cover.

Tyres

Tyres of the correct type and dimensions,
with correct cold inflation pressures are
an integral part of every vehicle’s design.
Regular maintenance of tyres contributes
not only to safety, but to the designed
function of the vehicle. Road-holding,
steering and braking are especially
vulnerable to incorrectly pressurised,
badly fitted or worn tyres.

Tyres of the correct size and type but of
different make have widely varying
characteristics. It is therefore
recommended that Jaguar approved tyres
(see SECTION 6:
fitted to all wheels.

Wheel/Tyre Data

) are

Do not interchange tyres from side to
side, front to rear or vice versa as tyre
wear produces characteristic patterns
depending upon their position and, if the
position is changed after wear has
occurred, the performance of the tyre will
be adversely affected.

Tyre Repair

It is recommended that damaged tyres
are discarded and new tyres fitted. They
must not be repaired in view of the high
performance capability of the vehicle.

5-2 Vehicle maintenance

Tyre Use after Vehicle Storage

After a long period of a vehicle standing,
tyres may become locally distorted with a
flat area. This will cause an uneven ride
for a few miles until the tyres have
warmed up and the ‘flat’ rounds off.

However, to reduce the effects of
flat-spotting, the tyres of a stored vehicle
may be inflated to pressures not

2

exceeding 50 lbf/in
Refer to SECTION 6,

Tyre Pressures

(343 kPa, 3,4 bar).

Recommended

for normal operating

pressures.

Tyre Size, Type, Pressures

The tyre pressures recommended (see
SECTION 6:

Wheel/Tyre Data

) provide
optimum ride and handling
characteristics for all normal operating
conditions. The pressures should be
checked, and correctly set, if necessary,
once per week. This should be done with
the tyres cold. Tyre temperatures and
pressures increase when running.
Deflating a warm tyre to the
recommended pressure will result in
under-inflation which may be dangerous.

A slight natural pressure loss occurs with

2

time. If this exceeds 2 lbf/in
(0,14 kg/cm

2

, 0,14 bar) per week, the

(14 kPa,

cause should be investigated and
rectified.

It is an offence in many States and certain
other countries to drive a vehicle with
tyres that are not inflated in accordance
with the vehicle’s proper use.

A vehicle fitted with winter tread tyres
must only be driven at speeds below the
speed rating moulded into the tyre’s
side-wall.

Tyre Renewal

When renewal of tyres is necessary it is
preferable to fit a complete vehicle set.
Should either front or rear tyres only
show need for renewal, new tyres must
be fitted, as axle sets, to replace worn
ones.

After new tyres have been fitted

Note:

the wheels need to be dynamically
balanced.

The radial ply tyres specified are designed
to meet the high-speed performance
capability of this vehicle.

Only tyres of identical specification as
shown in SECTION 6:

Wheel/Tyre Data

must be fitted. Do not fit tyres with a
different tread pattern, size or speed
rating.

Damage

Excessive local distortion can cause the
casing of a tyre to fracture and may lead
to premature failure. Tyres should be
examined especially for cracked walls,
exposed cords, etc. Flints and other sharp
objects must be removed from the tyre
tread; if left in they may work through the
cover. Clean off any oil or grease
contamination by using a suitable
cleaner.

Caution: Do not use paraffin
(kerosene), because this has a
detrimental effect on rubber.

Wear

All tyres fitted as original equipment include tread wear
indicators (TWI) in their tread pattern. When the tread has worn
to a remaining depth of 0.063 inch (1,6 mm) the indicators
appear at the surface as bars which connect the tread pattern
across the full width of the tyre.

It is illegal in many States and certain other countries to
continue to use tyres after the tread has worn to less than

0.063 inch (1,6 mm) over three quarters of the width and the
entire circumference of the tyre.

It should be noted that the properties of many tyres alter
progressively with wear. In particular the ‘wet grip’ and
aquaplaning resistance are gradually but substantially reduced.
Extra care and speed restriction should therefore be exercised
on wet roads as the effective tread depth diminishes.

Incorrect wheel alignment will accelerate tyre wear. Fins on the
inner or outer edges of the tread pattern are caused by excessive
toe-in or toe-out respectively. As fins may also be caused by high
cornering speeds or road camber, it is advantageous to have the
cause detected by having the wheel alignment checked.

Snow Chains and Spikes Spiders

Snow chains or a ‘Spikes Spider’
accessory, of the recommended type, may
only be fitted to rear wheels. Contact
your Jaguar Dealer for details and
availability of approved snow chains or
spikes spiders.

Traction control (if fitted) MUST be

Note:

switched OFF when using snow chains or
spikes spiders.

The maximum speed when using snow
chains or spikes spiders is 30 mph
(48 km/h).

Remove the snow chains or spikes spiders
immediately the roads are clear of snow.

Ensure the fitting instructions supplied
with the snow chains or spike spiders are
kept in a safe place, for example, the
Vehicle Care literature pack.

Due to the constraints of

Note:

wheelarch clearance, snow chains can
only be used up to a maximum size of 16
inch diameter roadwheels. Spike spiders
can be used up to a maximum of 18 inch
diameter roadwheels.

Care of Alloy Road Wheels

The alloy road wheels are covered with a
protective coating. To prevent corrosion it
is essential that this coating is not
damaged.

When removing or fitting tyres always
advise the tyre fitter to treat the alloy
wheels with great care and to only use
equipment with spigot or stud hole
clamping. The equipment must not have
any moving parts which contact the
wheel, and tyre levers must not be used.

Always ensure that the wheel nuts are
fully seated before finally tightening the
nuts in alternate sequence.

WARNING:

United States Department of
Transportation/Uniform Tyre Quality
Grades

The following information relates to the
tyre grading system developed by the
National Highway Safety Traffic
Administration which will grade tyres by
tread wear, traction and temperature
performance.

Tread Wear

The tread wear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of the tyre
when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified government test course.
For example, a tyre graded 150 would
wear one and a half (1½) times as well on
the government course as a tyre graded

100. The relative performance of tyres
depends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.

Traction - A, B, C

The traction grades, from the highest to
the lowest are A, B, C, and they represent
the tyre’s ability to stop on wet
pavements as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tyre
marked ‘C’ may have poor traction
performance.

!

WARNING:

The traction grade assigned to this
tyre is based on braking (straight
ahead) traction tests and does not
include cornering (turning) traction.

Temperature - A, B, C

The temperature grades ‘A’ (the highest),
‘B’ and ‘C’ representing the tyre’s
resistance to the generation of heat and
its ability to dissipate heat when tested
under controlled conditions on a
specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the
material of the tyre to degenerate and
reduce tyre life, and excessive
temperature can lead to sudden tyre
failure.

The grade ‘C’ corresponds to a level of
performance which all passenger car
tyres must meet under the Federal Motor

Vehicle Safety Standard N
Grades ‘B’ and ‘A’ represent higher levels

of performance on the laboratory test
wheel than the minimum required by
law.

The temperature grade for this tyre is
established for a tyre that is properly
inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, under inflation or
excessive loading, either separately
or in combination, can cause heat
build-up and possible tyre failure.

Battery

A low maintenance battery specifically
designed for use with this vehicle is fitted
in the luggage compartment.

Under normal operating conditions the
battery requires minimal maintenance.
However, in hot weather conditions it is
advisable to check the battery electrolyte
levels at regular intervals.

!

WARNING:

1. The cell plugs and vent pipe must

be in place at all times when the
battery is in the vehicle. Failure to
fit, or incorrect fitting of these
items is potentially hazardous.

2. To avoid injury do not use an open

flame or cause an electric spark
when checking the battery.
Hydrogen gas generated by the
battery is flammable and may
explode.

3. Do not connect any 12 volt

equipment, (for example, a 12 volt
lead lamp), directly to the battery
terminals. Use the cigar lighter
sockets for temporarily
connecting Jaguar approved
accessories.

4. Do not let battery acid come into
contact with skin or eyes. If you
get electrolyte in your eyes or on
your skin, immediately rinse with
cold water and consult a doctor.

Caution:

1. Switch off current before
disconnecting battery terminals.
Always disconnect the earth
terminal first and reconnect last.

2. Do not let battery acid come into
contact with painted surfaces or
fabric.

The exterior of the battery should be
occasionally wiped clean to remove any
dirt or grease.

If a new battery is to be fitted, it must be
the same type as the original. The use of
unapproved batteries is not
recommended and could invalidate the
vehicle warranty.

The service life of the battery is

Note:

dependent on its condition of charge. It
must always be sufficiently charged for the
battery to last an optimum length of time.
We recommend that the battery charge is
checked frequently if the vehicle is used
mostly for short distance trips, or if it is
not used for long periods of time.

Generator (GEN)

To prevent damage to the generator, do
not run the engine while the battery or
any of the charging circuit cables are
disconnected.

The generator has polarity-sensitive
components that may be irreparably
damaged if subjected to incorrect
polarity. Ensure that the battery earth

Winter (Snow) Tyres

The tyres fitted as original equipment are designed with a
rubber compound, tread pattern and width specially suited for
high speeds in normal road conditions, but they are less suitable
during extremes of low temperatures, snow and ice. The use of
winter tyres will considerably improve the vehicle’s handling
during these conditions.

It is recommended that only Jaguar approved winter tyres are
used.

16 inch wheels and tyres cannot be fitted to the Jaguar XJR

Caution: Tyre directional indicators must be rotating in a
clockwise direction when viewed from the right-hand
side of the vehicle, and anti-clockwise when viewed from
the left-hand side of the vehicle.

Do not exceed 130 mph (210 km/h) when using Jaguar approved
winter tyres.

Winter tyres must be used in vehicle sets, that is, fitted on all
four wheels.

Fuel Requirements

Use only Premium Unleaded gasoline with a minimum
Anti-Knock Index (AKI) of 91.

Oxygenated gasoline blended with ethanol (max. 10%)
methanol (max 10%) or
methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) (max. 15%) may be
used.

Reformulated Gasoline with a minimum AKI of 91 may
also be used

The use of high quality fuel containing ‘intake system deposit
control’ detergent and other additives will help to keep the
vehicle’s intake system free of deposits and its fuel system free
of corrosion and gumming.

If high quality fuels containing ‘intake system deposit control’
detergent and other additives are used continuously, there
should be no need to add any after market products to the fuel
tank.

If problems are experienced with starting, rough idling or
hesitation when the engine is cold, it may be caused by gasoline
with a low volatility. Try a different grade and/or brand of fuel. If
the condition persists, see a Jaguar Dealer or a qualified service
technician.

Oxygenated gasoline

Fuels that are blended with compounds containing oxygen,
called oxygenates, may be used. Common oxygenates are
ethanol or grain alcohol (blended at no more than 10%),
methanol or wood alcohol (blended at no more than 5% with
necessary co-solvents and additives, and MTBE or methyl
tertiary butyl ether (blended at no more than 15%). The type of
oxygenate may be found on the fuel pump or by asking the
attendant. In certain areas of the country, oxygenates are
required to be in all fuels to help improve air quality.

Generally, difficulty should not be experienced while operating
the vehicle on fuels containing oxygenates. If problems are
experienced switch to a fuel with a different type of oxygenate,
or switch to a fuel that does not contain oxygenates, if available.

Reformulated gasoline

Several petroleum companies have announced the availability of
reformulated fuels.

These fuels are specially designed to further reduce vehicle
emissions.

Jaguar fully supports all efforts to protect and maintain ambient
air quality, and encourage the use of reformulated gasoline,
where available.

Catalytic Converters

A few precautions on the use of vehicles fitted with catalytic
converters are necessary. These are:

1. In order to maintain the efficiency of the emission control
system it is essential that unleaded fuel is used. Use of leaded
fuel will seriously damage the catalytic converters.

2.

3. Heavy impact on the converter casings must be avoided.

4. The engine settings must not be altered; they have been

5. A correctly tuned engine optimises exhaust emissions,

established to ensure that the vehicle will comply with
stringent exhaust emission regulations. Incorrect engine
settings could cause unusually high catalytic converter
temperatures and thus result in damage to the converter and
vehicle. If adjustment to the settings is considered necessary,
this should be performed by a Jaguar Dealer.

performance and fuel economy and it is recommended that
the vehicle is regularly maintained.

malfunction is evident; malfunctions should be rectified
immediately. For instance, misfire, loss of engine
performance, excessive oil consumption or engine run-on
may lead to unusually high catalytic converter temperatures
and may result in damage to the converters and vehicle.

7. The use of catalytic converters increases exhaust system
temperatures, therefore, do not operate or park the vehicle
in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass or
leaves may come into contact with the exhaust system.

8. Do not run the engine with either a spark plug lead
disconnected or a spark plug removed. Do not use any device
that requires an insert into a spark plug hole in order to
generate air pressure e.g. tyre pump, paint spray attachment
etc., as this could also result in catalytic converter damage.

9. The vehicle is designed for normal road use. Below are
examples of abuse which could damage the catalytic
converters and vehicle. These may lead to a dangerous
condition due to excessively high catalytic converter
temperatures.

• Competition or off-road use.

• Excessive engine speed.

• Overloading the vehicle.

• Switching off the engine whilst in gear.

Electrical Accessories

The fitment of accessories, additional accessory supply sockets,
relays and fuses must only be entrusted to a Jaguar Dealer.

Caution:

1. The use of any accessories not specifically designed for
this Jaguar will damage the electrical circuits and
systems of the vehicle.

2. Under no circumstances must the power supply be
obtained directly from either battery terminal.

3. The use of non-approved accessories can reduce the
battery capacity and charge period to an unacceptable
level, therefore Jaguar cannot accept any liability for
the fitment of any such item.

The cigar lighter sockets can be used for plug-in accessories
which are only temporarily connected to the vehicle (for
example, a car vacuum cleaner).

Electrical Accessory Supply Sockets

Two electrical accessory supply sockets are provided in the
following areas:

1. Behind the heelboard panel on the right-hand side of the
rear seat.

2. In the luggage compartment, clipped forward of the battery.

Before connecting electrical accessories to these sockets,

Note:

consult a Jaguar Dealer.

Earth Points

If an accessory needs to be connected to an earth point, consult
a Jaguar Dealer.

Caution: Under no circumstances must holes be drilled in
the bodywork to accept earth terminals.
