Owner information 1-1

General information

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 Record and
Warranty’ 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.

A current list of Retailers is included in
the vehicle literature pack.

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 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

Vehicle Handbooks

!

WARNING:

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

Health and safety

!

WARNING:

1. Many liquids and other
substances used in vehicles are
poisonous and should never be
consu m ed 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, and ensure that any
metal objects do not short circuit
the battery.

10.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.

1-4 Owner information

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 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 and
factory warranty.

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 Record and Warranty’ Book. This
booklet not only contains a record of vital
information, but also information about
warranty and a change of ownership
card.

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.

Owner information 1-5

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

Stamped on a raised/machined boss
above the oil pan seam directly behind
the oil filter adapter plate.

Transmission number

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

Warranties (USA and Canada)

The ‘Passport to Service’ booklet contains
warranties applicable to the vehicle,
which include:

• The Limited vehicle Warranty.

• The Emission Control System
Warranty and covered parts list.

• The Corrosion Warranty.

Tyres are not warranted by Jaguar Cars,
but by the specific manufacturer of the
tyres on the vehicle. Details of tyre
warranties are included in the vehicle
literature pack.

Warranties (Mexico)

The ‘Service Record and Warranty’ book
contains warranties applicable to the
vehicle, which include:

• The Limited vehicle Warranty.

1-6 Owner information

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.

Check the laws and regulations on the use
of cellular telephones in the areas where
you drive. Always obey them. Also, give
full attention to driving.

Use hands-free operation (if fitted) and
pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call, if driving conditions
so require.

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
Satellite (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.

Touch-screen display

Touch-screen use and care

A touch-control screen is installed in certain vehicles and
provides touch-control of vehicle climate, audio, navigation,
television and telephone systems, as fitted. A small LCD screen
below the touch-control screen provides digital display of the
time, ambient temperature and vehicle cabin set temperature.

When the ignition switch is initially turned to position ‘I’ or ‘II’,
the touch-control screen will display the Jaguar logo screen
followed by activation and display of the mode previously used.
Display of touch-controls for other systems can be obtained by
pressing the appropriate perimeter button and these are
described in the appropriate Handbook. Climate control
operation is contained in Section 5 of this Handbook. Functions
of the ‘MENU’ button are described on the following pages.

Vehicle security

When leaving the vehicle unoccupied,
remember the following:

• Apply the parkbrake and with
automatic transmission, move the
gear selector to Park ‘P’.

• Do not leave children or pets in the
vehicle unattended.

• Do not leave luggage or valuables on
view. Always take your valuables with
you or lock them in the luggage
compartment.

• Remove the ignition key and spare
keys, even when the vehicle is in your
garage.

• Close all windows and lock all doors
securely.

• Park the vehicle where it can be seen.
At night, park in a well-lit area.

Ensure that all key transmitters are
removed from the vehicle before locking
the doors, and that all doors, the luggage
compartment and the hood are closed.

It is important to keep your keys in safe
places at all times. Leaving them in
conspicuous places is an invitation for a
thief to steal them and, consequently,
your vehicle or belongings. Keep them as
secure as you would your wallet or purse,
both at home and away.

Immobilisation system security light

This vehicle is equipped with an
immobilisation system.

An electronic device is fitted in the head
of each key which is programmed to the
vehicle electronics. When the key is
placed in the ignition switch the vehicle
electronics recognise the correct key and
allow engine start. The engine cannot be
started with a key not programmed to the
vehicle electronic systems.

If an ignition key is placed in the ignition
switch and turned to position ‘II’ and the
alarm security light on the centre console
remains flashing after three seconds, it is
possible that the engine will not start.
In any event, please contact a Jaguar
Retailer to investigate the cause of the
light flashing.

Keys

The key, which is integrated with the
remote transmitter, operates all the locks
on your vehicle.

The key number is recorded on a plastic
tag which is attached to each key. Detach
the tag and keep safely, not in the
vehicle.

Additional integrated key transmitters
can be obtained from your Retailer and
can be used provided a Retailer
programmes them all to the vehicle.

Caution: Should a key transmitter be

lost, a new one can be obtained and
programmed to the vehicle by a
Jaguar Retailer, who will ask for proof
of vehicle ownership. It is advisable
to notify a Retailer as soon as a key
transmitter is lost or stolen and have
the remaining key transmitter(s)
reprogrammed. This will then
prevent the lost or stolen key
transmitter from being used to
disarm and unlock the vehicle.

Note: Reta ilers keep a log of all enquiries

for replacement keys and notify
Jaguar Cars Ltd. of any such requests.

Care of key transmitters

The key transmitters must be treated with

WARNING:

1. Do not use the transceiver with
any garage door opener that lacks
the safety stop and reverse feature
as required by federal safety
standards. A garage door opener
which cannot detect an object,
signalling the door to stop and
reverse, does not meet current
federal safety standards. Using a
garage door opener without these
features increases risk of serious
injury or death.

2. When programming the
transceiver to a garage door
opener or entry gate, make sure
that people, the vehicle and
objects are out of the way to
prevent potential harm or damage
as the gate or garage door will
activate during the programme.

Programming

Note: For best results, fit a new battery to

the hand-held transmitter of the garage
door opener (or other device) before
programming. If your garage door opener
receiver (located in the garage) is
equipped with an antenna, ensure that the
antenna is hanging straight down.

1. Switch off the engine.

2. Press and hold the two outermost
buttons (1 and 3) on the transceiver,
releasing only when the indicator light
begins to flash after 20 seconds.

Note: Do not repeat step 2 when
programming the additional buttons.

3. Hold the end of the hand-held
transmitter approximately 1
to 3 inches (2.5 to 7.5 cm) away from
the transceiver in the roof console,
keeping the indicator light in view.

4. Using both hands, simultaneously
pus h t he ha nd -h eld t ra ns mi tt er bu tt on
and the chosen transceiver button (1,
2 or 3). The transceiver indicator light
will flash, first slowly and then rapidly.
When the indicator light flashes
rapidly, release both buttons.

procedure starting with Step 2.
However, position the hand-held
transmitter at a different angle and/or
distance.

7. The device must now be ‘trained’ for
operation from the transceiver.
See Training procedure on
page 2-14.

Programming hints and tips

If the device does not operate you may
need to complete the steps outlined in
the section Rolling code
programming.

Some entry gates and garage door
openers may require you to replace
Step 4 with the procedures in the
section Canadian programming/
Gate programming.

If you are programming a rolling code
equipped device, continue with the
procedures outlined in the section

Rolling code programming.

Note: Keep the original transmitter for

future use or programming procedures if,
for example, you purchase a new vehicle.

Caution: It is recommended that

when you sell or dispose of the
vehicle, the programmed transceiver
buttons be erased for security
purposes.

Canadian programming/
Gate programming

Canadian frequency laws, and the
technology of some entry gates, require
you to press and re-press (cycle) the
hand-held transmitter button every two
seconds during programming.

Continue to press and hold the desired
transceiver button while you cycle your
hand-held transmitter until the indicator
light flashes rapidly.

Note: When programming a garage door
opener or entry gate, unplug the device
during the ‘cycling’ process to prevent
possible motor failure.

Rolling code programming

Rolling code garage door openers
(or other rolling code devices) which are
‘code protected’ may be determined by
the following:

• Reference the device owner’s
instruction manual for verification.

• The hand-held transmitter appears to
programme the transceiver correctly,
but does not activate the garage door.

• Press and hold the programmed
transceiver button. The device has the
rolling code feature if the transceiver
indicator light flashes rapidly and
then turns solid after two seconds.

To programme a garage door opener or
other device with the rolling code feature,

1to3inches (2.5to7.5cm) away
from the transceiver surface.

3. Press and hold the hand-held
transmitter button.

4. The transceiver indicator light will
flash, first slowly and then rapidly.
When the indicator light begins to
flash rapidly, release both buttons.

The previous device has now been erased
and the new device can be activated by
pushing the transceiver button that has
