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.

Protect the Environment
We must all play our part in protecting
the environment. Correct vehicle usage
and disposal of waste cleaning and
lubrication materials are significant steps
towards this aim.
Avoid using high engine speeds. You will
then protect your engine, reduce fuel
consumption, lower the engine noise
level and help towards reducing the
environmental burden.
Dispose of batteries, tyres, engine, brake
and coolant fluids at your local
authorised waste disposal facilities.
Window Tinting
!WARNING:
Do not have your vehicle windows
tinted with a metal oxide tinting (for
maximum heat reduction from sun
load).
Metal oxide tinting prevents the
reception of the Global Positioning
Satellite (GPS) signals by the antenna
causing the navigation system to stop
functioning.
Metal oxide tinting also prevents the
reception of the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) signals by the antenna, causing
reduced operation of the arming/
disarming/locking/unlocking system of the
vehicle.
A non-metal tinting should be used if you
require window tinting and if in doubt,
contact your Jaguar Retailer for advice.
Window marking
It is a worthwhile precaution to have the
vehicle registration number etched into
each window glass by a Jaguar Retailer.
Mobile/Portable
Telephones
!WARNING:
Using a mobile/portable telephone
without an exterior antenna is not
recommended when driving as the
electro-magnetic fields produced can
cause malfunctions with the vehicle
electronic systems.
Check the laws and regulations on the
use of cellular telephones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them. Also,
give full attention to driving.
Use hands-free operation (if fitted) and
pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call, if driving conditions
so require.

immobilisation system. The system
prevents the vehicle be ing driven away by
unauthorised persons. The features of the
system include the following:

accepted by the vehicle’s electronic
systems.
The engine cannot be started with a key
that is not programmed to the vehicle
electronic systems. Immobilisation system status light

switch and turned to position ‘II’, and the
LED remains flashing af ter three seconds,
it is possible that the engine will not start.
Should this occur, please contact a Jaguar

Security Features
The security system has been designed
for:
• Prevention of theft of the vehicle.
• Prevention of theft of items from the vehicle.
• Personal security.
The security system is integrated with the
vehicle electronics and engine
management systems making it far more
difficult for a thief to penetrate and steal
the vehicle.
Panic Alarm (if enabled)
When in or near the vehicle, the alarm
can be set off to dete r a possible offender.
For this feature to operate, the key must
not be in the ignition switch.
Pressing the headlamp convenience/panic
button on the key transmitter three times
within three seconds will activate the
‘Panic Alarm’.
The alarm is stopped by:
• Putting the key into the ignition switch and turning to position ‘II’.
Note:
1. The key transmitter cannot be used to cancel the Panic alarm. This prevents
unauthorised cancellation in an
emergency.
2. The panic alarm is normally enabled. If required, this feature can be
disabled or enabled by a Jaguar
Retailer.
3. The vehicle locking status will not change when the panic alarm is
activated.
Passive Arming (Retailer
Option)
Passive arming wi ll not lock the
doors, it only arms the security alarm
system.
Passive arming, if enabled by a Jaguar
Retailer, will automatically arm the
vehicle alarm system 30 seconds after the
last protected entry (door, luggage
compartment) is closed following the key
being removed from th e ignition switch.
When passive arming occurs the direction
indicators will flash once and a single
tone will be heard (if enabled). The red
security light on the fascia will start to
flash and will continue for as long as the
alarm is armed.
Opening the drivers door causes a
warning sound which continues for
15 seconds before the system goes into
the full alarm state. If any other door is
opened before the drivers door,
the system goes into the full alarm state
immediately.
When the system is pa ssively armed and a
key is used to open the trunk, a seven
second warning audible ticking will
sound before the full alarm is activated.

Before Programming
Caution: When programming a
garage door opener or entry gate that
may require you to press and re-press
the hand-held transmitter (cycle),
unplug the device during the ‘cycling’
process to prevent possible motor
failure.
It is recommended that for best results,
fit a new battery to the hand-held
transmitter of the garage door opener
(or other device) before programming.
If your garage door opener receiver
(located in the garage) is equipped with
an antenna, ensure that the antenna is
hanging straight down.
To Erase All Programming
For first time progra mming, ensure that
the engine is switched off:
1. Turn the ignition switch to position ‘I’.
2. Press and hold th e two outer buttons
on the garage door opener in the
overhead console. Keep the buttons
pressed, the indicator light will
illuminate. The indicator light is part
of the middle button in the garage
door opener in the overhead console.
3. Release the buttons when the lights
begin to flash (this will take
approximately 20 seconds).
All memories in the garage door opener
have now been cleared.
Note: Do not perform this procedure
when programming the additional garage
door opener buttons.
Programming the Vehicle
Ensuring that the engine is switched off:
1. Turn the ignition switch to position ‘I’.
2. Hold the end of the original garage door opener hand -held transmitter
approximately 2 to 6 inches (5 cm to
15 cm) away from the transceiver in
the overhead console, keeping the
indicator light in view.
