WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE HEADER TANK 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 HAS ESCAPED AND THEN REMOVE THE CAP COMPLETELY.
WARNING: WHEN DRAINING THE COOLANT WITH THE ENGINE HOT, PROTECT THE HANDS AGAINST CONTACT
WITH HOT COOLANT.
WARNING
: WHEN WORKING WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, KEEP CLEAR OF THE ENGINE DRIVEN RADI- ATOR COOLING FAN WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
4.2.3.2 Working Practices
Whenfilling thesystem with coolant,ensurethatthevehicle isstanding on a level surfaceand thatthecoolant is poured
in slowly so that airlocks are not introduced into the system. Airlocks can seriously affect the operation of the climate
control system and can cause damage to the heater circuit pump.
Hose clips should always be positioned
so that there is proper access for tightening and that the clip does not foul or
interfere with the operation of any components.
4.2.3 SERVICE PROCEDURES
4.2.3.1 Safety Precautions
The anti-freeze specified in Appendix A1 must be used wherever possible. It is designed to afford the maximum cor- rosion protection to all metals found in the engine cooling system, as well as having the frost protection properties
necessary during the winter months. Should it not be available, then anti-freeze conforming to Ford Motor Company
specification
ESBM97B49-A may be used. To provide optimum temperature and corrosion protection, the specified
anti-freeze concentration must always be used. Once coolant has been drained from the system, it must be discarded
and not reused. Anti-freeze is harmful to the environment. Always dispose of used coolant safely and never pour it down a drain connected to the public sewer.
CAUTION: Never fill or topup the system with water only.
CAUTION
: Anti-freeze is harmful to paintwork. Coolant spillages must be wiped up immediately and the affected
area washed to remove all traces of coolant.
CAUTION: To prevent the possibility of damage to the heater circuit
pump, the pump should be electrically isolated if the ignition has to be turned ON while the cooling system is drained.
The drive belt must always be tensioned to the specified value and the tension checked at the correct point on the belt.
This information is given in Sub-section IV in the preliminary pages.
When tightening components, the torque figures given in Sub
-section II in the preliminary pages should always be
used for the fastenings listed.
When fitting a replacement thermostat, ensure that the jiggle-pin is to the top of the thermostat housing.
4.2.3.3 Coolant Change
The coolant must be changed at intervals of four years. The system should be drained from the radiator drain plug,
flushed and filled with fresh coolant. Flushing should be carried out thoroughly to remove all the old coolant from the
engine and heater matrix. (The heatervalve isopen with the ignition OFF). AfterfilIing,checkthecoolant concentration
with a hydrometer. For specified anti-freeze and coolant concentration, see in Appendix Al.

4.2.4.4 System, Air Bleeding
After filling the system with coolant, any air present must be purged before effective cooling is possible. Provided the
correct fill procedure has been followed, purging of the system takes place automatically as follows:
The air entrained by the coolant, rises to the top of the radiator and to the highest point on each side of the engine (the
thermostat housings). While the thermostats are closed, the radiator is under reduced pressure due to the pump suc
- tion and air is bled through the jiggle-pins in each thermostat. Purged air is returnedvia the bleed system to the header
tank. When normal operating temperature is reached, the thermostats open and the system operates normally. ~~

Climate Control Systems
CL /MATE CONTROL SYSTEM 0 14*2 14.2.1 Description
The climate control system in the 1995 model year saloon has a centre mounted heater / cooler unit with separate
blower assemblies, one LH and one RH. Heating temperature control is effected by means of a coolant flow valve and
circulation pump.
For models fitted with air conditioning, cooling is provide by passing air through the evaporator, which is situated im
- mediately behind the heater / cooler case inlet ducts.
Electric motors with integral potentiometers are used to position
all flaps.
W: There are no vacuum operated components in the system.
14.2.2 Features
o Self diagnostic control system with error codes.
0 Actuator 'self check'.
0 Display element check.
m: These features will be helpful for initial trouble shooting and where Jaguar Diagnostic Equipment (JDE) is not
available.
0 'Soft touch' logic controls. 0
0 Serial link from panel to control module (NCCM).
0 LCD display for temperature, status and fan speed.
0 Variable fan speed, whether in automatic or manual mode.
0 Manual air flow distribution over-rides.
0 Compensated air flow with regard to vehicle speed.
0 Rear footwell outlets.
0 Rear face outlets.
0 Scavenge system closed circuit temperature control.
0 Heated front screen (where fitted).

8. AUTO selection display.
9. EXTERIOR temperature selection button. There are two modes:
a) Press and immediate release; provides timed display of four (4) seconds.
b) Press and hold for two (2) seconds; 'latches' the mode until operator over-ride.
10. A/C push-on / push-off button will either engage or disengage (as indicated by the state lamp) the refrigeration
system compressor. The state lamp is also used as a compressor speed fault indicator,see System protection, this
section.
11. AUTO push-on button and state lamp. When selected and the state lamp lit, the A/C mode is selected and control
of demand temperature, fans speed, and air distribution is automatic. AUTO is cancelled by selection of any 'dis- tribution' button, A/C off, or manual FANS SPEED.
12. DEFROST push
-on / push-off button and state lamp. When engaged, air is distributed to the screen at maximum
fans speed and the heated front screen elements (where fitted) are ener ized. The heated front screen is automati- cally timed for a six (6) minute cycle but may be cancelled by pressing tfe HEATED FRONT SCREEN button. Auto- matic temperature control is retained and the fans speed may be manually reduced. Deselection will return the
system to the previous state and selection of AUTO will resume automatic system control.
13. The push
-on / push-off (F) button with state lamp manually controls the HEATED FRONT SCREEN (where fitted).
This facility allows rapid screen de-icing using laminated electrical heating elements to supplement the hot air
defrost.
14. The push-on / push-off (R) button with state lamp manually controls the HEATED REAR SCREEN and door mirror
glass heating elements for a timed cycle of; screen twenty (20) minutes and mirrors eleven (1 1) minutes.
m: The state lamp will remain lit after the mirror timer has gone through its 11 minute cycle and will not go out
until either completion of the 20 minute screen cycle or manual override.
15. TEMPERATURE decrease button
in IoC or I0F steps.
16. TEMPERATURE increase button in
IoC or I0F steps.
w: Automatic temperature control operates over the range 17OC to 31OC (61OF to 90OF). Extreme limits selected
by items 15 and 16 ('Lo' and 'Hi') provide maximum cooling or heating at maximum fans speed.
17. FACE level manual distribution over
-ride push-on / push-off button and state lamp.
0 18. Bi LEVEL (foot and face) manual distribution over-ride push-on / push-off button and state lamp.
19. FOOT level manual distribution over

20. DEMIST (screen and foot) level manual distribution over
-ride push-on / push-off button and state lamp.
!Y&Q: Selection of AUTO will over-ride any manual setting and deselection of any manual distribution will revertthe
system to AUTO distribution.
21. FACE VENTTEMPERATURE CONTROL thumb
