Radio/cassette unit anti-theft system - precaution
Some models are equipped with an audio
system which includes an anti-theft feature, to
deter thieves. If the power source to the unit is
cut, the anti-theft system will activate. Even if
the power source is immediately reconnected,
the radio/cassette unit will not function untilthe correct security code has been entered.
Therefore if you do not know the correct
security code for the unit, do notdisconnect
the battery negative lead, or remove the
radio/cassette unit from the vehicle.The procedure for reprogramming a unit
that has been disconnected from its power
supply varies from model to model - consult
the handbook supplied with the unit for
specific details or refer to your Jaguar dealer. The jack supplied with the vehicle tool kit
should only be used for changing the
roadwheels - see “Wheel changing”at the
front of this manual. When carrying out any
other kind of work, raise the vehicle using a
hydraulic (or “trolley”) jack, and always
supplement the jack with axle stands
positioned under the vehicle jacking points.
To raise the front of the vehicle, place a
block of wood on the jack head and positionthe jack underneath the centre of the front
crossmember. Lift the vehicle to the required
height and support it on axle stands
positioned underneath the vehicle jacking
points on the sills.
To raise the rear of the vehicle, place a
block of wood on the jack head and position
the jack underneath the centre of the rear
crossmember. Lift the vehicle to the required
height and support it on axle standspositioned underneath the vehicle jacking
points on the sills.
The jack supplied with the vehicle locates in
the jacking points on the sills. Ensure that the
jack head is correctly engaged before
attempting to raise the vehicle.
Neverwork under, around, or near a raised
vehicle, unless it is adequately supported in at
least two places.
