2004 JAGUAR XJ key

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.

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.
