3 - 30 Before Driving
Check List – LATCH Child
Restraints
Follow the check list each time your child
travels in the vehicle:
• Always attach the top tether when installing a forward-facing seat.
• Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the child seat.
• Always give the seat a final pull to ensure the lower anchors are secure,
even if the seat has indicators to show
that the seat connectors are latched.
• Always use the appropriate child restraints and adjust harnesses for
every child, every trip.
• Make sure you use a seat with the correct weight range for your child. • Avoid dressing your child in bulky
clothing and do not place any objects
between the child and the restraint
system.
• Regularly check the fit of your child seat and replace seats or harnesses
that show signs of wear.
• No child seat is completely child- proof. Encourage your child not to
play with the buckle or harness.
• Never leave a child unsupervised in the vehicle.
• Activate the rear door child safety locks (see page 2 - 14).
• Ensure your child does not exit the vehicle from the side where there is
traffic.
• Set your child a good example – always wear your seat belt.

period when the red memory LED is
illuminated.
• Previous memory is erased when a new driving position is entered.
Clock Adjustment
The analogue clock is adjusted by
pressing the (+) and (–) buttons below
the dial. Pressing and holding either
button will increase the rate of hand
movement forwards or backwards as
required.

Indicator Meaning
4-26 On the Road
Direction Indicators
The direction indicators, the left column
stalk, operate when the ignition is in
position ‘II’. Move the stalk up for
indicating a right turn or move it down to
indicate a left turn.
Two positions are provided. The first
position, partly moving the stalk up or
down, causes the indicator to flash while
it is held in this position. On releasing the
stalk the indicators stop flashing.
The second position is a full movement of
the stalk up or down, which can then be
released. The indicators will remain
flashing and will cancel when the turn is
completed. An audible ticking an
d a flashing green
arrow on the instrument cluster indicates
that the selected direction indicator is
operating.
Bulb failure
The direction indicators (including those
on a trailer, if attached) and side
repeaters are monitored for bulb failure.
If a bulb fails when it is on, a message is
shown in the message centre. At the same
time, the corresponding side green
warning light will flash at twice the
normal rate. The audible ticking will
sound at twice the normal rate.Door Guard/Puddle Lights
Door guard lights are fitted to each door
to give warning of an open door to
passing vehicles.
Puddle lights illuminate the ‘step out’
area at night.
Each light comes on automatically when
the door is opened. If the door is left
open the lights remain on for 5 minutes
and then switch off.
Approach Lights
Approach lights are fitted in the door
mirrors to provide illumination for the
floor area around the front doors.
The approach lights come on when:
• The vehicle is unlocked using a key, key transmitter or the central locking
switch.
• Using the headlight convenience button on the key transmitter.
• Reverse gear is selected.
The approach lights will not illuminate if
the autolamp sensor determines that the
ambient light is sufficiently bright.
Luggage Compartment
Lighting
The luggage compar tment will be
illuminated when the lid is opened.
Glove Compartment
The glove compartment will be
illuminated when the lid is opened.
4-28 On the Road
Illuminated entry/exit
The interior lights fade on when a door is
opened and go out when the engine is
started or 15 seconds after the last door
is closed. If any door is left open,
the lights will fade off after two minutes.
When the vehicle is unlocked with a key
or the key transmitter, the courtesy lights
will come on at maximum brightness for
two minutes if a door is not opened.
With the engine running, opening any
door will put on all interior lights, they
will go out immediately after the last door
is closed.Battery Saver
If the interior lights are switched on using
the centre switch in the overhead console
and the ignition swit ch is turned to
position ‘0’, the lights will automatically
turn OFF after 40 minutes.
If the interior lights are switched on by
opening a door and the ignition switch is
in position ‘0’, the lights will
automatically turn off after 10 minutes.
If the glove compartmen t or vanity mirror
lights are switched on and the ignition
switch is turned to positions ‘0’ or ‘I’ or
the key is removed, the lights will
automatically turn OFF after 40 minutes.
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.
4-64 On the Road
When filling, the dispenser nozzle must
be inserted into the filler neck sufficiently
to open the trap door for fuel to flow into
the fuel tank. For quickness and to
completely fill the ta nk, ensure that the
fuel nozzle rests on the filler neck as
shown. Fill the tank until the filler nozzle
automatically shuts off. Filling beyond
this point could result in fuel spillage.
After refuelling, refit the fuel filler cap in
to the filler neck, twist the filler cap
clockwise until it clicks and close the flap,
which automatically locks shut. The continuous use of high quality fuel
makes the need for a
dditional additives
unnecessary.
This will help to protect the engine
components against corrosion, carbon
deposit formation and prevent the fuel
injection system from clogging.
If in doubt your local Jaguar Retailer will
advise on which fuel must be used in
your vehicle.
Fuel requirements
The filler neck of the fuel tank is a small
diameter to suit the unleaded fuel pump
nozzle and will prevent the larger
diameter leaded fuel nozzle from entering
the filler neck.
Note: Not all countries have a small
diameter nozzle, for example, Japan,
so care must be taken to only fill the tank
with unleaded fuel.
