Check Windscreen/Headlight
Washer Reservoir
Refer to page 7 - 5 for windscreen washer
reservoir location.
The washer reservoir contains the fluid
for the windscreen washers and the
headlight powerwash system (where
fitted).
Fill to just below th e neck with Jaguar
Windscreen Washer Fl uid diluted with
clean, preferably soft water as specified in
the instructions on the bottle.
Do not overfill.
Note: Using a non-approved fluid may
adversely affect the wiper blade rubber,
resulting in ineffectual and noisy wiping. Cold weather precautions
To prevent damage to the pump during
freezing conditions, use Jaguar
Windscreen Washer Fluid at the strength
shown on the bottle, for the anticipated
ambient temperature.
!WARNING:
1. Windscreen washer fluid is toxic and in concentrated form is
flammable. Be sure to observe all
warnings indicated on the washer
solution container.
Under no circumstances must
cooling system anti-freeze be
used, since this will damage the
paintwork.
2. State or local regulations on volatile organic compounds may
restrict the use of methanol,
a common windscreen washer
anti-freeze additive. Washer fluids
containing non-methanol anti-
freeze agents should be used only
if they provide cold weather
protection without damaging the
vehicle’s paint finish, wiper blades
or washer system.

Windscreen Wipers
Use Jaguar Screen Clean Paste to remove
contamination from the windscreen to
ensure effective wiping or if smearing or
juddering becomes evident. A more
aggressive cleaning agent may be
required to remove stubborn
contamination. Contact a Jaguar Retailer
for advice.
To ensure that the windscreen remains
smear-free, the washer system should be
operated whenever the wipers are used,
even when it is raining.
Windscreen Wiper Blades –
Inspect and Clean
Lift the wiper blades clear of the
windscreen and wipe the blades with a
clean, soft cloth moistened with water to
which a mild liquid detergent has been
added.
Windscreen Washers
The windscreen washer jets are mounted
on the wiper arms.
Note:The windscreen washer jets and
headlight washer jets are not adjustable.

Exterior Care
Note:All the cleaning materials
mentioned in this section are 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 gr itty 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
Note:
Regular use of automatic car
washes tends to dull the lustre of the
paintwork.
After leaving the car wash, switch on the
windscreen wipers immediately to
remove water and prev ent a build up of
wax. Jaguar Screen Clean Paste can be
used to clean any residual wax from the
glass.
Caution: Ensure the rain sensitive
windscreen wipers are switched OFF
before entering an automatic car
wash, to prevent damage to the wiper
blades/arms.
Removing grease or 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 blades. Glass surfaces
To avoid scratching glass surfaces, do not
clean dirty glass with
dry paper or cloth.
Use clean, warm water and a chamois
leather which is reserved for glass only.
The following products will ensure glass
surfaces and windscreen wipers are kept
in good condition:
Jaguar Screen Clean Paste – Apply to the
exterior of the windscreen only to ensure
effective operation of the windscreen
wipers.
Jaguar Glass Cleaner – Interior and
exterior of all other glass surfaces.
Jaguar Screen Wash – Washer reservoir
additive.
Jaguar Winter Care Kit comprising
de-icer, ice scraper, anti-mist wipe cloth
and aerial cleaner – for use in adverse
weather conditions.
Note:
1. Renew the wiper blades when worn to prevent scratching. Clean the rubber
wiper blades regularly with a mild
detergent solution.
2. It is advisable to clean the windscreen with Jaguar Screen Clean Paste at
regular intervals.
