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.

Owner Information 1 - 9
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.

2 - 8 Security and Locks
Door Locks and Handles
All doors can be centrally locked and
unlocked remotely, using the key
transmitter buttons.
Only the driver’s door is equipped with
an external key lock, which activates the
central locking and the two-stage
unlocking.
Vehicle Locking and
Unlocking
Lock the vehicle and set the alarm
• Ensure windows and sunroof (if fitted) are fully closed. • Press the lock button on the key
transmitter, or;
• Put the key in the driver’s door lock, turn the key toward s the rear of the
vehicle and release.
The direction indicators will flash once,
a chirp will be heard (if enabled) and the
security light (located on the top surface
of the fascia) will start flashing.
After 20 seconds, the alarm will be set.
If a door, the hood or the luggage
compartment are open and an attempt is
made to lock the vehicle, the direction
indicators will flash five times (if enabled)
and/or an audible warning will sound
twice as a warning that the vehicle is not
secure.
Note: The security system will not arm if
a key is in the ignition switch. If a key is
used in the drivers door lock and turned
towards the front of the vehicle then
released when an aperture is ajar,
the security will arm (2 error tones
(if enabled), or five flashes of the direction
indicators (if enabled) will be emitted). The security system will arm, but will not
monitor the aperture th
at is ajar until it
has been fully closed.
Drive-away door locking
With the ignition key at position ‘II’ and
all the doors closed, all doors will lock
when the gear selector is moved from
position ‘P’ or ‘N’. The gear selector has
to be moved from ‘P’ or ‘N’, and into a
different gear, for longer than one
second.
If the vehicle is stopped and a door is
opened and subsequently closed,
the doors will lock again when the gear
selector is moved from position ‘P’ or ‘N’,
and into a different gear.
If the vehicle is stopped and a door is
opened and subsequently closed, but the
gear selector is not moved from
position ‘P’ or ‘N’, or the current gear
position the doors will remain unlocked.
All vehicles have the drive-away door
locking feature installed during
manufacture. This feature can be
disabled, or reinstated, by a Jaguar
Retailer, if required.
