6 - 6 Roadside Emergency
Wheel Changing and
Jacking
Be prepared for a flat tyre. Know where
equipment is stowed and read the wheel
changing and jacking instructions
carefully. Keep the jack screw threads
clean and greased to ensure it is always
ready for an emergency.
Park off the road, clear of all traffic and
on as level, solid ground as possible.
Switch on hazard warning lights and,
where legally required, display the
warning triangle.
!WARNING:
It can be dangerous to change a
wheel when the vehicle is on a slope
or soft, uneven ground.
Temporary-use Spare Wheel
Note: Maintenance information for the
temporary-use spare wheel is the same as
given for normal tyres.
Observe the following warnings before
using the wheel:
!WARNING:
1. Please note th e temporary-use
spare wheel warning label on the
wheel. Adhere to instructions on
the label. Failure to comply can be
dangerous.
2. When a temporary spare wheel is fitted, drive with caution and
replace with the specified wheel
and tyre as soon as possible.
3. Do not fit more than one temporary-use spare wheel and
tyre assembly at a time.
4. The temporary-use spare wheel must be inflated to the correct
pressure.
5. Temporary-use spare wheel maximum speed is 80 km/h
(50 mph).

Roadside Emergency 6 - 7
Locking Wheel Nuts
Where Jaguar locking wheel nuts are
fitted (one on each wheel), they can only
be removed using the correct key socket.
The locking wheel nut comprises two
grooved parts, front and rear, which must
be turned together to allow the nut to be
fitted or removed.
To remove the nut, the front and rear
grooves must be aligned. Locate the key
socket in the grooves and push it fully
over both parts of the nut. Fit the wheel
nut wrench over the key socket and
loosen the locking wheel nut (turn anti-
clockwise). Attempting to remove the nut without the
correct key socket
(such as attempted
theft) or with the socket not located over
the rear part of the nut, will cause the
front part only ( A) to turn.
If this has happened, rotate the front part
with the key socket until the grooves are
re-aligned and then push the socket fully
over the nut.
Should a new key socket be required,
contact your Jaguar Retailer. Proof of
vehicle ownership will be required.

6 - 8 Roadside Emergency
Spare Wheel and Jack Removal
!WARNING:
Wheels are extremely heavy.
Take care when lifting and
particularly when removing and
replacing a wheel in its storage
position in the luggage compartment.
The spare wheel and jacking equipment
are stored under the trunk floor panel.
Seepage6-4.
To remove the spare wheel, fully unscrew
the locking ring ( A). Unscrew the wing
nut below the locking ring. This allows
wheel retainer ( B) to be lifted and
removed. The wheel can now be lifted
out.

Roadside Emergency 6 - 9
Wheel Changing Procedure
1. Ensure that all passengers are in a safe place, clear of the vehicle.
2. Apply the parkbrake and select gear position ‘P’ (Park).
3. Ensure that the jack is placed on firm and level ground.
Note: When one rear wheel is lifted off
the ground the selection of gear position
‘P’ (Park) will not prev ent the vehicle from
moving and possibly slipping off the jack.
!WARNING:
1. Before attempting to lift the vehicle with the jack, chock the
wheel diagonally opposite to the
wheel being replaced to prevent
the vehicle from rolling when
jacked up. A wheel chock is
supplied with the jacking
equipment for this purpose.
2. Never work under the vehicle using only the jack as a support,
always use axle stands or suitable
supports under the jacking points. Observe the instructions printed on the
jack.
Use the jack only for lifting the vehicle
during wheel changing, and only use the
jack which is stored in the vehicle.
Do not start or run the engine while the
vehicle is only supported by a jack.
Removing the wheel
Before raising the vehicle slacken but do
not remove the wheel nuts.
There are four jacking points, two each
side of the vehicle on the underside of the
floor. These provide positive location for
the jack. To locate the jacking
point, feel along the
sill panel to the cut-away portion and
then fit the jack to the body, as shown,
not to the sill panel .
Caution: Ensure before raising the
vehicle that the jack is correctly
positioned to avoid any damage to
the vehicle sills or sill panels.
Use only the correct jacking points,
never use bumpers or any other part
of the body to lift the vehicle.

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.

Roadside Emergency 6 - 11
Vehicle Recovery
The preferred vehicle recovery method is
by using a flat bed transporter or rear
suspended tow.
Caution:
1. If the vehicle has defective transmission, to prevent further
damage, it must be towed with
the rear wheels clear of the
ground.
2. Ensure that the recovery team do not tow with sling-type
equipment since damage to the
bodywork may result.
3. Do not tow the vehicle by suspending the front end.
Transporting
If the vehicle is being transported on a
trailer or flat bed transporter,
the parkbrake must be applied,
the wheels chocked and the gear selector
lever moved to position ‘N’ or ‘D’ but
NEVER to ‘P’.
The vehicle must be securely tied down
to the transporter or trailer, see next
page.

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.
