Veh
icle Identification
Dependent
upon market, the VIN and other info

or
some markets, anti-theft labels bearing the VIN printed on
a special anti-forgery background are positioned on certain

ne locking wheel nut is fitted to each road wheel and can on
ly be removed by using the correctly coded socket. For road
wheels with exposed wheel nuts, each locking wheel nut is provided with a cover, which is removed using the cover removal
tool.
Locking wheel nuts have different coded keyway combinations with corresponding coded sockets. The correct socket, and
cover removal tool are supplied with the vehicle toolkit. Sets of sockets are available to Jaguar dealers.
Temporary Spare Wheel
•
NOTE: When using this type of spare wheel note that:
Speed

must not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
The normal ro

ad wheel must be reinstalled as soon as possible.
On

ly one temporary wheel may be installed to the vehicle.
Tracti

on control (where fitted
) must be switched OFF.
In certain markets, the spare wheel supplied with the vehicle is of the temporary-use type, it is narrower than the normal
road wheel and takes up less room in the luggage compartment.
Tire
s
The
radial ply tires shown in the 204-04
Specification Section are recommended by Jaguar to meet the high speed
performance of the vehicle. Only tires of identical specification may be fitted as replacements. Unde r no circumstances must
cross-ply tires be fitted.
Tire Inflation Pressures
Al
l recommended tires, including winter tire
s, must be inflated to the pressures shown in the 204-04 Specification Section.
Inflation pressures must only be checked when the tires are cold.
Tire Replac
ement and Wheel-Interchanging
W
hen renewal of tires is necessary, it is
preferable to fit a complete set. If two replacement tires are fitted (to one axle),
they must be of the same manufacturer and type as those on the other axle.
No attempt must be made to interchange wh eels from the front to the rear or vice-versa, as wear produc es a characteristic
pattern on each tire depending upon its po sition on the vehicle. If this position is changed after wear has occurred, the
performance of the tire w ill be adversely affected.
It should be remembered that new tires must be balanced befo re installing to the vehicle.
Win
ter Tires
•
NOTE: Speed must not exceed 210 km/h (131 mph) when winter tires are installed.
Jaguar recommended winter tires as specified in 204-04 Specification Section must only be fitted in complete four-wheel
sets of the same type and size.
Snow Chains and Spike Spider Traction System

Jagu
ar recommended snow chains, must on
ly be installed when using 16 inch wheels with 255/60 R16 winter tires.
• NOTE: When using snow chains or the spike spider traction system, note that:
Snow ch
ains and the spike spider
traction system must only be fitted to the rear wheels.
O
nly Jaguar recommended snow chains and spik
e spider traction system must be used.
The m
aximum permissible speed with winter tires and snow chains or the spike spider traction system fitted is 48
km/h (30 mph).
Tracti
on control (where fitted) must be
switched OFF when using snow chains or the spike spider traction system.
