Instruments
None of the instruments will show
correct indications until the ignition is
switched ON (position ‘II’).
If the exterior light switch is ON and the
ignition is ON, the display brightness can
be varied using the dimmer switch
(page 4 - 25).
Tachometer (A)
The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute and is calibrated
in increments of 250 rev/min extending
to 8000 rev/min (to 7000 rev/min for
supercharged vehicles).
Caution: Do not allow the needle to
enter the red sector.
Speedometer (B)
Speed indication is in either:
USA– Miles per hour, the outer figures,
and kilometres per hour on the inner
ring.
Canada and Mexico – Kilometres per
hour, the outer figures, and miles per
hour on the inner ring,
Odometer (C)
Records the total distance covered by the
vehicle.
The odometer reading is displayed below
the speedometer, al ong with the trip
distance since it was last reset. To reset
the trip distance, press the reset button
on the trip computer switchpack. The trip
distance will roll-over at 9999.9 miles
(or 16,090 kilometres).
The odometer is displayed in the message
centre unless a message has priority or a
trip computer function has been selected.
Fuel Level Gauge (D)
Indicates the amount of fuel in the tank.
A warning light is displayed in the gauge
when the fuel in the tank is at a low level.
The tank should be refilled at the earliest
opportunity.
The small arrow, shown beside the fuel
pump symbol, identifies on which side of
the vehicle the filler cap is located.

Sidelights (GREEN)
Illuminates when the sidelights
or headlights are switched ON
either manually or by the
autolamp system, if fitted.
Main Beam (BLUE)
Illuminates when the main
beam headlights are switched
ON or flashed ON.
Front Fog Lights (GREEN)
Illuminates when the front fog
lights are switched ON.
Rear Fog Lights (AMBER)
Illuminates when the rear fog
lights are switched ON.
Direction Indicators (GREEN)
The appropriate
indicator tell-tale
light will flash when
the column switch is moved up or down
to signal a right or left-hand turn.
If a direction indicato r fails, the tell-tale
will flash at twice normal rate when that
indicator is selected. A message will be
shown that a bulb has failed. Fit a new
bulb immediately.
Note:
1. If a bulb has failed, the audible ticking will sound at twice the normal rate.
2. If a trailer or caravan is fitted and a direction indicator bulb fails then the
tell-tale will flash at twice the normal
rate and a message will be displayed
that a rear indicator lamp has failed.
Hazard Warning Lights
When the hazard warning is selected,
both direction indicator tell-tale lights
flash simultaneously.
Low Fuel Level
An amber warning light is displayed in
the gauge when the fuel in the tank is at a
low level. The tank should be refilled at
the earliest opportunity.

On the Road 4 - 63
Fuel and Refuelling
Before refuelling, switch off the ignition
and remove the key.
Note:Do not leave the ignition key in the
vehicle; vehicles have been stolen from
garage service/filling stations whilst the
driver is absent from the vehicle. It is
recommended that the vehicle is locked,
if left unattended.
Caution: No additives of any kind
(fuel or oil) must be put into the fuel
tank. Additives could reduce engine
life or affect exhaust emissions.
!WARNING:
1. Fuel vapour is highly flammable and in confined spaces is
explosive and toxic. In the event
of inadvertent spillage, and before
refuelling, always switch OFF the
engine. Do not use exposed flame
or light. Do not smoke. Do not
inhale fumes.
2. Do not fill the tank so that fuel is visible in the fuel filler intake
tube. This could cause spillage
and danger from exposed fuel.
Fuel Tank Filling
Caution: Your vehicle is fitted with
catalytic converters and must only be
filled with ‘Unleaded Fuel’.
The fuel filler flap release switch is
located in the knee bolster switchpack
below the fascia. The fi ller flap is on the
right-hand side of the vehicle.
A small arrow is shown on the fuel gauge
as a reminder on which side of the
vehicle the fuel filler flap is located. Open the fuel filler flap and turn the filler
cap anti-clockwise, a ¼ turn until
resistance is felt. Continue turning to
release the cap from the filler neck.
The cap is held by a retaining strap and
can be stowed over the hook on the flap
to allow easy access to fill the tank.
A warning label on the inside of the fuel
filler flap advises type/grade of fuel.

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.

On the Road 4 - 65
Fuel capacity
Avoid the risk of running out of fuel and never intentionally
drive the car when the fuel gauge indicates that the tank is
empty. When refuelling your vehicle after the fuel gauge reads
empty, you may not be able to add the fuel quantity shown
below to the tank as there will be a small reserve remaining in
the tank.Fuel Economy
The following tips not only lead to greater fuel economy but also
reduce air pollution causing less environmental damage:
• Try to avoid using the car for short journeys – this will lead
to greater fuel economy and reduce wear on the engine.
• Plan ahead – choose uncongested routes, combine car trips and share cars where possible.
• Drive off as soon as possible after starting a cold engine – do not leave the engine idling until it has warmed up.
• Drive smoothly and efficiently – harsh acceleration and heavy braking have a significant effect on fuel
consumption – driving more smoothly saves fuel.
• Slow down – driving at high speeds significantly increases fuel consumption.
• Switch off – sitting stationary is zero miles per gallon, switch
off the engine when it is safe to do so.
• Unnecessary weight – do not carry unnecessary weight and remove roof-racks when not in use.
• Regular servicing keeps the engine at best efficiency.
• Ensure that tyres are inflated to the correct pressure for the journey.
• Use air conditioning and all vehicle electrical devices sparingly – all increase fuel consumption.
• Check your fuel consumption – it will help you get the most from your car and any significant change in consumption
may indicate a vehicle fault.

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.
