Health and Safety
!WARNING:
1. Many liquids and other substances used in vehicles are
poisonous and should never be
consumed and must be kept away
from open wounds.
These substances include anti-
freeze, brake fluid, fuel,
windscreen washer additives,
lubricants and various adhesives.
2. The presence of any unusual fumes (for example; petrol or
exhaust fumes) in the passenger
compartment and/or luggage
compartment should be corrected
immediately by a Jaguar Retailer.
If you must drive under these
conditions do so only with all
windows fully open.
3. By operating other electronic equipment (for example; a mobile
phone without an exterior
antenna) electro-magnetic fields
can cause malfunctions of the
vehicle electronics.
Therefore, you should observe the
instructions of the equipment
manufacturers. 4. Any modifications to the fuel
system not specifically designed
for this Jaguar are prohibited.
Such modifications in some
circumstances could result in a
fire. All service actions must be
entrusted to a Jaguar Retailer.
5. 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.
6. No attempt should be made to repair a fuse that has blown.
Always install a new fuse of the
correct amperage. Failure to
comply with the above may cause
a fire hazard or create serious
damage elsewhere in the
electrical circuit.
7. Avoid contact with battery acid which is poisonous and corrosive.
Acid will cause burns to the skin
as well as to the eyes. In the event
of skin or eye contamination,
wash the affected area with water
thoroughly. Seek immediate medical attention when eye
contact has occurred.
8. Do not disconnect any pipes in the air conditioning refrigeration
system. A refrigerant is used
which can cause blindness if
allowed to contact the eyes.
If refrigerant should contact the
eyes or skin, wash the eyes or
affected area with cold water for
several minutes. Do not rub.
As soon as possible thereafter,
obtain treatment from a doctor or
eye specialist.
9. When working within the engine compartment, take care to avoid
contact with moving parts and hot
components.
10. California Proposition 65: Engine exhaust, some of it’s
constituents, and certain vehicle
components, contain or emit
chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
