2004 JAGUAR XJ brake light

On the Road 4 - 59
General Driving
Information
!WARNING:
Ensure the parkbrake is on and the
automatic gear selector is in
position ‘P’ or ‘N’ before attempting
to start the engine.
Before driving off, check the gauges and
warning lights and messages. Take special
note of any warning light that is on.
Seat belts are provided for your safety
and it is unwise, and in certain countries
illegal, to commence any journey,
however short, without wearing them.
Warming Up
Do not operate the en gine at high speed
when first started but allow time for the
engine to warm up and the oil to
circulate.
Engine Braking On Downhill
Gradients
When driving on mountain roads with
long downhill gradients it is advisable to
select a low gear.
Running-in
Apart from a few precautionary
recommendations, there are no strict
‘running-in’ procedures for this vehicle.
By observing the following advisory notes
you will ensure maximum engine,
transmission and brake life for your
vehicle:
1. Allow the engine to warm up thoroughly before operating at engine
speeds over 3500 rev/min.
2. Vary the speed frequently.
3. From 940 miles (1500 kilometres) onwards, gradually increase
performance of the vehicle up to the
permitted maximum speed, where
road conditions permit. Running-in for brakes
To ensure that the brake pads can
‘bed-in’ evenly and reach their optimum
wear and performance condition, usually
within 300 miles (480 kilometres),
the following points are recommended.
1. Where possible, avoid heavy braking
or rough usage of the brakes as this
can result in damage being caused to
the brake pads and discs.
2. Avoid prolonged use of the brakes, for example, when descending severe
gradients.
3. Frequent light application of the brakes is desirable. This helps to fully
‘bed-in’ the brake pads before the
normal running-in period is
completed and the vehicle is operated
at high speeds, when maximum brake
efficiency will be required.
The above equally applies when new
discs or pads have been fitted.

4-60 On the Road
Use of Headlamps In Daylight
When visibility is poor the headlamps
with dipped beam setting should be
switched on so that the vehicle may be
seen more easily by other road users.
The instrument illumination dimmer
control adjusts the brightness of the panel
lighting.
Engine Oil Consumption
A certain amount of oil consumption is
normal. The rate of consumption will
depend on the following:
• The quality and viscosity of the oil.
• The amount of oxidation and dilution of the oil.
• Climatic conditions.
• The speed at which the engine is being operated.
• Road conditions.
Drivers should expect above normal
consumption when the engine is new,
and after running-in if high speeds are
sustained.
Winter Driving
Freeing a frozen door lock
Caution: Do not ap ply a proprietary
lock de-icer through the keyhole.
Should the lock beco me frozen, warm the
end of the key before use.
Windscreen wiper blades
Before driving away, clear any ice from
the windscreen and check that the wiper
blades are free. Switching on the heated
screen will accelerate this process.
The heated wiper park, if fitted, will come
on automatically.
Frost precautions
The correct concentration of coolant
must be maintained at all times when
‘topping up’ or ‘refilling’ the cooling
system.
Parking the Vehicle
When leaving the vehicle, remember the
following:
• Whenever the vehicle is being parked, apply the parkbrake and move the
gear selector to Park ‘P’.
• Do not leave children or pets in the vehicle unattended.
• Do not leave luggage or valuables on view. Always take your valuables with
you or lock them in the luggage
compartment.
• Remove the ignition key and spare keys, even when the vehicle is in your
garage.
• When the vehicle is unoccupied, close
all windows and lock all doors
securely.
• Park the vehicle where it can be seen. At night, park in a well-lit area.
• Ensure that the keys and the key transmitters are removed from the
vehicle before locking the doors,
and that all doors, the luggage
compartment and the hood are
closed.

6 - 10 Roadside Emergency
!WARNING:
1. Do not attempt to lift the vehicle unless the jack head is fully
engaged in the jacking point.
2. Ensure that the parkbrake is applied.
Place the jack squarely beneath the
appropriate jacking point. Ensure that the
jack head is fully engaged. Carefully raise
the vehicle by turning the handle.
Stop jacking the vehicle when the tyre
just clears the ground. Minimum tyre lift
gives maximum vehicle stability.
Remove the wheel nuts and the wheel.
Centre badge
When changing the alloy road wheels,
transfer the centre badge to the
replacement wheel. Using the plastic
tipped end of the wheel nut wrench
handle from the inside of the wheel, push
the centre badge from its housing.
Push the centre badge into the
replacement wheel. Fitting the spare wheel
Fit the spare wheel and loosely secure
with the wheel nuts.
Using the wheel nut wrench, lightly
tighten the wheel nuts
alternately using
the sequence shown in the illustration.
Lower the jack and ti ghten the wheel nuts
alternately, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
At the earliest opportunity have the
wheel nuts tightened with a torque
wrench to 92 lb.ft (125 Nm).
This torque must not be exceeded. Stowing the equipment
Stow the replaced road wheel in the
trunk.
Check that the locking ring is unscrewed
fully so that it is as close as possible to the
handle of the wheel retainer. This is to
ensure that the wheel retainer can be
fitted correctly.
Locate the wheel retainer into its mating
thread in the trunk floor and tighten it
fully, then tighten the locking ring
clockwise to secure the wheel.
Seepage6-8.
Stow the jacking equipment.
Close the trunk floor panel.
!WARNING:
When a temporary spare wheel is
fitted, drive with caution and replace
with the specified wheel and tyre as
soon as possible.

6 - 12 Roadside Emergency
Transporter tie-down procedure
!WARNING:
Avoid body contact with a hot
exhaust pipe when securing the
vehicle to the transporter.
IMPORTANT – Use straps over the
wheels/tyres only, to secure the vehicle to
the transporter.
Caution: Do not use the tie-down
brackets on the vehicle rear
underbody; these are for Jaguar
factory use only. In time, with the
engine switched off, the vehicle body
will drop due to settling of the air
suspension system and cause the tie-
down chains/straps to become slack if
connected to these brackets.
The towing eye is not designed for
securing the vehicle during
transportation. Vehicle failure
The removable towing eye is primarily for
emergency use when towing for SHORT
DISTANCES, e.g. removing the vehicle if it
is causing an obstruct
ion or for winching
the vehicle onto a re covery transporter.
To prevent damage to the automatic
transmission whilst the vehicle is being
towed with the rear wheels on the
ground, towing distance must be
restricted to 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometres).
Towing speed must not exceed 30 mph
(48 km/h).
Always obey towing regulations.
In certain countries the registration
number of the towing vehicle and an
‘ON TOW’ sign or warning triangle must
be displayed in a prominent position at
the rear of the vehicle being towed. When being towed, the gear selector
lever must be in neutral (position ‘N’)
with the ignition key turned to
position ‘II’ to release the steering lock
and render the indicators, horn and
brake lights operational.
!WARNING:
When the engine is not running the
steering and brakes will no longer be
power-assisted.
Therefore, be prepared for relatively
heavy steering and the need for
greatly increased brake pedal
pressure.

Regular Checks
In the interests of safety and reliability,
it is advisable to carry out the following
checks at the recommended intervals,
and always before starting on a long
journey.
Daily
Check that there is sufficient fuel for the
journey intended, particularly at night
and before joining motorways.
Weekly
Tyres– Check the tyres, including the
spare, for condition and pressure.
Tyre pressures are explained on page 8 - 8
and shown on a label inside the fuel filler
flap.
Lights – Check that all exterior lights and
direction indicators function correctly
and that the lenses are clean.
Engine oil – With the vehicle standing
on level ground, check the oil level and
top up if necessary with oil of the correct
grade.
Engine coolant – With the engine cold,
check the level of the coolant in the
coolant reservoir header tank. Any loss of
fluid must be checked by a Jaguar
Retailer. Brake fluid
– Check the level of the fluid
in the brake fluid reservoir. Top up if
necessary with new, unused Jaguar
approved brake fluid.
The reservoir is initially nearly full,
but the level will drop as the brake pads
wear. If the level appears unusually low,
location of the fluid leakage must be
checked by a Jaguar Retailer.
Power steering fluid – With the engine
cold, check the level of the fluid in the
power steering fluid reservoir. Top up if
necessary with fluid of the correct
specification. Any loss of fluid should be
checked by a Jaguar Retailer.
Windscreen washer fluid – Top up
with windscreen washer fluid and clean
soft water. Check the operation of the
washers. It is recommended that you
use Jaguar Windscreen Washer Fluid to
keep the glass clean and also to prevent
the fluid from freezing during cold
weather.
Monthly
Wiper blades – Check the quality of the
wipe. If smearing or juddering is evident,
clean the windscreen and wiper blades.
Used Engine Oil
!WARNING:
Prolonged and repeated contact may
cause serious skin disorders,
including dermatitis and cancer.
Always use a hand cream to protect the
skin from oil contamination.
Avoid contact with the skin as far as
possible and wash thoroughly after any
contact. Keep oils out of reach of
children.
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT: It is
illegal to pollute drai ns, watercourses and
soil. Use authorised waste collection
facilities, including civic amenity sites and
garages providing fa cilities for the
disposal of used oi l, oil filters and
batteries. If in doubt, contact your Local
Authority for advice on disposal.

7-16 Maintenance
Battery lead disconnection
Caution:
1. Under no circumstances should a battery be discon nected whilst
the ignition circuit is live,
as permanent damage to the
instrument cluster may occur.
2. Disconnect the negative lead (earth terminal) first.
Fold the luggage compartment floor panel
forwards (see page 6 - 4).
Slacken the negative lead pinch bolt and
disconnect the negative (–) battery lead.
Slacken the positive lead pinch bolt and
disconnect the positive (+) battery lead. Battery lead connection
Note:
Upon battery reconnection the
security system will be armed. Opening
any protected entry will sound the alarm.
Make sure that a key or key transmitter is
available.
Caution: Do not overtighten the
pinch bolts.
Clean the battery posts and coat the post
bases with petroleum jelly.
Connect the positive (+) lead, tighten the
pinch bolt and clip the positive terminal
cover on the battery. Connect the
negative (–) lead and tighten the pinch
bolt.
After the battery ha s been reconnected
and the ignition swit ch is turned to
position ‘II’, the message centre display,
if fitted, will initially show an erroneous
reading i.e.––––––. Thiswill remain
until after the bulb check sequence, when
the correct recorded mileage will be
displayed. This is a normal function of the
instrument cluster.
After battery reconnection
After reconnecting the battery:
• Reset the electric parkbrake; refer to Parkbrake on page 4 - 34. • Reset the electrically operated
windows anti-trap function; refer to
Window Anti-trap Protection on
page 4 - 30.
• The trip computer will lose all recorded trip data and all trip
functions will be reset to zero.
The vehicle total odometer reading is
retained.
• If the battery is disconnected for more than 72 hours the radio preset
channels will need to be reset.
• Where fitted, the TV preset channels may need to be reset. Refer to the
Jaguar Touch-screen Handbook.
• Reset the clock to the correct time.
The engine electronic control system
adapts to certain characteristics of the
vehicle. These adaptations are lost if the
battery is disconnected.
On reconnection, therefore, some slightly
abnormal drive symptoms may occur and
the vehicle may need to be driven
10 miles (16 kilometres) or more while
the control system re-adapts.
