4-60 On the Road
Use of Headlamps In Daylight
When visibility is poor the headlamps
with dipped beam setting should be
switched on so that the vehicle may be
seen more easily by other road users.
The instrument illumination dimmer
control adjusts the brightness of the panel
lighting.
Engine Oil Consumption
A certain amount of oil consumption is
normal. The rate of consumption will
depend on the following:
• The quality and viscosity of the oil.
• The amount of oxidation and dilution of the oil.
• Climatic conditions.
• The speed at which the engine is being operated.
• Road conditions.
Drivers should expect above normal
consumption when the engine is new,
and after running-in if high speeds are
sustained.
Winter Driving
Freeing a frozen door lock
Caution: Do not ap ply a proprietary
lock de-icer through the keyhole.
Should the lock beco me frozen, warm the
end of the key before use.
Windscreen wiper blades
Before driving away, clear any ice from
the windscreen and check that the wiper
blades are free. Switching on the heated
screen will accelerate this process.
The heated wiper park, if fitted, will come
on automatically.
Frost precautions
The correct concentration of coolant
must be maintained at all times when
‘topping up’ or ‘refilling’ the cooling
system.
Parking the Vehicle
When leaving the vehicle, remember the
following:
• Whenever the vehicle is being parked, apply the parkbrake and move the
gear selector to Park ‘P’.
• Do not leave children or pets in the vehicle unattended.
• Do not leave luggage or valuables on view. Always take your valuables with
you or lock them in the luggage
compartment.
• Remove the ignition key and spare keys, even when the vehicle is in your
garage.
• When the vehicle is unoccupied, close
all windows and lock all doors
securely.
• Park the vehicle where it can be seen. At night, park in a well-lit area.
• Ensure that the keys and the key transmitters are removed from the
vehicle before locking the doors,
and that all doors, the luggage
compartment and the hood are
closed.
Maintenance 7 - 7
Recommended Engine Oil
When the oil level is at the lower dipstick mark, add 1 US quart
(1.0 litre) of oil.Oil specification
– API SJ/EC and ILSAC GF–3
When topping up between oil chan ges, make sure that you use
oil that has the correct quality le vel (API service) and viscosity
grade. Your vehicle’s warranty ma y be invalidated if damage is
caused by use of improper engine oil.
For maximum fuel economy, 5W–30 oil is recommended.
SAE viscosity rating
For climates ranging from –22°F (–30°C) and +122°F (+50°C),
the following oil viscosities may be used:
0W–30
5W–30 (preferred)
0W–40
5W–40
Note: It is recommended that the oil level is topped up using oil
of the same viscosity. If you are unsure which oil viscosity is used
in your car, your Jaguar Retailer will be able to advise.
If you are operating this vehicle in climates outside the above
temperature range, contact your Jaguar Retailer for advice.
