2004 JAGUAR XJ weight

4-62 On the Road
Towing a Trailer
Your Jaguar Retailer, and the main
motoring organisations can advise you on
towing, towing weight capacities and
about regulations that apply in other
countries.
The following are important points of
safety, stability and comfort upon which
further advice should be sought:
• Maximum braked towing weight is permissible, provided long periods of
uphill driving on gradients over 8%
are not undertaken.
• In high altitude mountainous regions, the thinner atmosphere can reduce
engine performance. Above 3280 feet
(1000 metres) the stipulated
maximum permitted gross train
weight must be reduced by 10% for
every 3280 feet (1000 metres) in
altitude.
• The kerbside weight of the vehicle can be found on page 8 - 4.
• When towing at the maximum permissible rear axle load keep within
legal towing speeds but in any case do
not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h). • Tyres must be inflated to the normal
(higher) pressures shown on the tyre
pressure label on the fuel filler flap.
• The recommended maximum tow-ball nose weight is shown
on page 8 - 5. Having a lower nose
weight or exceeding the maximum
nose weight limit may impair the
vehicle’s handling.
• When towing, the nose weight of the trailer and the tow-bar assembly must
be deducted from the permissible
maximum load, see page 8 - 5.
• Avoid heavy braking. As the overrun brake on the traile r is not connected
to the ABS, heavy trailer braking
could critically affect the stability of
the outfit as a whole.
• Ensure that the towing vehicle’s engine, transmission, suspension,
brakes and tyres are fully efficient and
regularly serviced. Similarly check the
wheels, tyres, brakes and wheel
bearings of the trailer. Caution:
1. When not in use, it is
recommended that the removable
tow-ball is either securely stowed
in the luggage compartment or,
preferably, not in the vehicle.
Do not leave it loose in the
vehicle.
2. It is essential that only a Jaguar tow-bar and Jaguar electrical tow-
bar kit are supplied and fitted by a
Jaguar Retailer. Contact your
Jaguar Retailer for details of
additional parts that are advised
to be fitted before towing. This is
particularly important with this
vehicle having air suspension.
If unapproved towing equipment
is used whilst towing, the air
suspension speed lowering
function will not be inhibited.
This may result in a change in
trailer weight distribution and
attitude.

Fuel capacity
Avoid the risk of running out of fuel and never intentionally
drive the car when the fuel gauge indicates that the tank is
empty. When refuelling your vehicle after the fuel gauge reads
empty, you may not be able to add the fuel quantity shown
below to the tank as there will be a small reserve remaining in
the tank.Fuel Economy
The following tips not only lead to greater fuel economy but also
reduce air pollution causing less environmental damage:
• Try to avoid using the car for short journeys – this will lead
to greater fuel economy and reduce wear on the engine.
• Plan ahead – choose uncongested routes, combine car trips and share cars where possible.
• Drive off as soon as possible after starting a cold engine – do not leave the engine idling until it has warmed up.
• Drive smoothly and efficiently – harsh acceleration and heavy braking have a significant effect on fuel
consumption – driving more smoothly saves fuel.
• Slow down – driving at high speeds significantly increases fuel consumption.
• Switch off – sitting stationary is zero miles per gallon, switch
off the engine when it is safe to do so.
• Unnecessary weight – do not carry unnecessary weight and remove roof-racks when not in use.
• Regular servicing keeps the engine at best efficiency.
• Ensure that tyres are inflated to the correct pressure for the journey.
• Use air conditioning and all vehicle electrical devices sparingly – all increase fuel consumption.
• Check your fuel consumption – it will help you get the most from your car and any significant change in consumption
may indicate a vehicle fault.
