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.

Battery
A low maintenance battery specifically
designed for use with this vehicle is fitted
below the luggage compartment floor.
!WARNING:
California Proposition 65:
Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories, contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after
handling.
!WARNING:
1. The cell plugs and vent pipe must
be in place at all times when the
battery is in the vehicle. Failure to
fit, or incorrect fitting of these
items is potentially hazardous.
2. To avoid injury do not use an open flame or cause an electric spark
when checking the battery.
Hydrogen gas generated by the
battery is flammable and may
explode. 3. Do not connect any 12 volt
equipment (for example a 12 volt
lead lamp) directly to the battery
terminals. Use the accessory
sockets to temporarily connect
Jaguar approved accessories.
4. Do not let battery acid electrolyte come into contact with skin or
eyes. If you get any in your eyes or
on your skin, immediately rinse
with cold water and consult a
doctor.
Caution:
1. Switch off the ignition before disconnecting battery terminals.
Always disconnect the earth
terminal first and reconnect last.
2. Do not let battery acid come into contact with painted surfaces or
fabric.
The exterior of the battery should be
occasionally wiped clean to remove any
dirt or grease.
If a new battery is to be fitted, it must be
the same type as the original.
The use of unapproved batteries is not
recommended and coul d invalidate the
vehicle warranty. Note:
The service life of the battery is
dependent on its condition of charge.
It must always be sufficiently charged for
the battery to last an optimum length of
time.
We recommend that the battery charge is
checked frequently if the vehicle is used
mostly for short distance trips, or if it is
not used for long periods of time.
Battery/ignition isolator switches
Non-approved battery isolator switches,
which disconnect the power supply to all
electrical circuits, are not recommended.
Generator
To prevent damage to the generator,
do not run the engine while the battery
or any of the charging circuit cables are
disconnected.
The generator has polarity-sensitive
components that may be irreparably
damaged if subjected to incorrect
polarity. Ensure that the battery earth
lead is always connected to the battery
negative terminal.

Maintenance 7 - 25
Electrical Accessories
!WARNING:
Alterations to the electrical system,
including the fitting of accessories not
designed for this Jaguar, will cause
damage to the electrical circuits and
systems. In some circumstances this
could result in a malfunction or fire.
All accessory work should be
entrusted to a Jaguar Retailer.
Caution:
1. Under no circumstances must the power supply be obtained directly
from either battery terminal.
2. The use of non-approved accessories can reduce the battery
capacity and charge period to an
unacceptable level, therefore,
Jaguar cannot acce pt any liability
for the fitment of any such item.
Earth Points
If an accessory needs to be connected to
an earth point, consult a Jaguar Retailer.
Caution: Under no circumstances
must holes be drilled in the
bodywork to accept earth terminals.
