2004 JAGUAR XJ transmission oil

On the Road 4 - 59
General Driving
Information
!WARNING:
Ensure the parkbrake is on and the
automatic gear selector is in
position ‘P’ or ‘N’ before attempting
to start the engine.
Before driving off, check the gauges and
warning lights and messages. Take special
note of any warning light that is on.
Seat belts are provided for your safety
and it is unwise, and in certain countries
illegal, to commence any journey,
however short, without wearing them.
Warming Up
Do not operate the en gine at high speed
when first started but allow time for the
engine to warm up and the oil to
circulate.
Engine Braking On Downhill
Gradients
When driving on mountain roads with
long downhill gradients it is advisable to
select a low gear.
Running-in
Apart from a few precautionary
recommendations, there are no strict
‘running-in’ procedures for this vehicle.
By observing the following advisory notes
you will ensure maximum engine,
transmission and brake life for your
vehicle:
1. Allow the engine to warm up thoroughly before operating at engine
speeds over 3500 rev/min.
2. Vary the speed frequently.
3. From 940 miles (1500 kilometres) onwards, gradually increase
performance of the vehicle up to the
permitted maximum speed, where
road conditions permit. Running-in for brakes
To ensure that the brake pads can
‘bed-in’ evenly and reach their optimum
wear and performance condition, usually
within 300 miles (480 kilometres),
the following points are recommended.
1. Where possible, avoid heavy braking
or rough usage of the brakes as this
can result in damage being caused to
the brake pads and discs.
2. Avoid prolonged use of the brakes, for example, when descending severe
gradients.
3. Frequent light application of the brakes is desirable. This helps to fully
‘bed-in’ the brake pads before the
normal running-in period is
completed and the vehicle is operated
at high speeds, when maximum brake
efficiency will be required.
The above equally applies when new
discs or pads have been fitted.
