Owner Information 1 - 7
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.

3 - 34 Before Driving
Ski Hatch
A two-door hatch is fitted to the rear seat
on some models, providing an opening
between the passenger and luggage
compartments. This allows space for skis
or similar objects to be stowed in the
vehicle. Both doors have a single catch.
The inner door is accessible after folding
down the armrest. To open the door, pull
the leather flap forward, press the
catch (A) downwards and gently lower
the door on to the armrest.
A bag for retaining the skis can now be
pulled from the receptacle into the
passenger compartment, and the strap ( C)
loosened ready to accept the skis.
The other door is accessible from inside
the luggage compartment and is opened
by pushing the catch ( B) and lowering the
door.
Push the skis into the bag from the
luggage compartment and then secure
the skis using the strap provided on the
bag. Clip the strap connector ( D) to the
centre rear seat belt buckle.

Maintenance 7 - 13
Battery
A low maintenance battery specifically
designed for use with this vehicle is fitted
below the luggage compartment floor.
!WARNING:
California Proposition 65:
Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories, contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after
handling.
!WARNING:
1. The cell plugs and vent pipe must
be in place at all times when the
battery is in the vehicle. Failure to
fit, or incorrect fitting of these
items is potentially hazardous.
2. To avoid injury do not use an open flame or cause an electric spark
when checking the battery.
Hydrogen gas generated by the
battery is flammable and may
explode. 3. Do not connect any 12 volt
equipment (for example a 12 volt
lead lamp) directly to the battery
terminals. Use the accessory
sockets to temporarily connect
Jaguar approved accessories.
4. Do not let battery acid electrolyte come into contact with skin or
eyes. If you get any in your eyes or
on your skin, immediately rinse
with cold water and consult a
doctor.
Caution:
1. Switch off the ignition before disconnecting battery terminals.
Always disconnect the earth
terminal first and reconnect last.
2. Do not let battery acid come into contact with painted surfaces or
fabric.
The exterior of the battery should be
occasionally wiped clean to remove any
dirt or grease.
If a new battery is to be fitted, it must be
the same type as the original.
The use of unapproved batteries is not
recommended and coul d invalidate the
vehicle warranty. Note:
The service life of the battery is
dependent on its condition of charge.
It must always be sufficiently charged for
the battery to last an optimum length of
time.
We recommend that the battery charge is
checked frequently if the vehicle is used
mostly for short distance trips, or if it is
not used for long periods of time.
Battery/ignition isolator switches
Non-approved battery isolator switches,
which disconnect the power supply to all
electrical circuits, are not recommended.
Generator
To prevent damage to the generator,
do not run the engine while the battery
or any of the charging circuit cables are
disconnected.
The generator has polarity-sensitive
components that may be irreparably
damaged if subjected to incorrect
polarity. Ensure that the battery earth
lead is always connected to the battery
negative terminal.
