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.

Fuse Box Locations
There are three separate fuse boxes fitted 
to the vehicle, each one containing fuses 
protecting a different group of circuits.
Engine compartment fuse box
The fuse box is located in the engine 
compartment on the right-hand side 
adjacent to the windscreen wash 
reservoir.
Remove the fuse box lid by pressing the 
spring catch and lifting.
When refitting, press the fuse box lid in 
the area of the retaining lugs until the lid 
engages. Cabin fuse box
The cabin fuse box is located behind the 
right-hand side trim panel in the footwell.
To access the fuse box, pull out the 
bottom of the trim panel (arrowed), slide 
the panel down slightly and remove.
Trunk fuse box
A fuse box is located in the trunk, 
situated behind the battery.
Open the trunk floor panel to gain access 
to the fuse box.
Remove the fuse box lid by pulling the 
retaining clips and pulling the lid 
upwards.
Reposition the lid and press down until 
the retaining clips engage.
Replace the floor panel.

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.

Hood Release
!WARNING:
Take care to keep away from rotating components if the 
engine is running when you open the hood.
Release the hood lock by pullin g the lever below the fascia on 
the left-hand side of the vehicle.
Lift the hood slightly and push the safety catch, located under 
the centre of the front edge of th e hood. The gas filled struts will 
assist raising the hood, and retain it in the fully open position.
!WARNING:
Before closing the hood ensure that no-one is obstructing 
the closing area and that hands and clothes are clear. 
Remove tools, cleaning cloths, etc., from the engine 
compartment.
Close the hood to within a distance of 12 to 14 inches 
(30 to 35 cm) of the fully closed position, then let go to allow 
the hood to shut. Check by pulling the hood that both the right-
hand and left-hand latches are engaged.
