Maintenance
192

GENERAL INFORMATION
Regular systematic maintenance is the key to
ensuring the continued reliability and efficiency
of your vehicle.
Maintenance is the owner's responsibility and
you must ensure that owner maintenance
operations, oil services, inspections and brake
fluid and coolant changes are carried out when
required and according to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
The routine maintenance requirements for your
vehicle are shown in th e Service Portfolio book.
Most of this necessar y workshop maintenance
requires specialised knowledge and
equipment, and should preferably be entrusted
to a Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Service Portfolio
The Service Portfolio book includes a Service
Record section, which enables a record to be
kept of all the servicing and inspections that are
carried out on the vehicle. This section of the
book also has an area for brake fluid changes
to be recorded.
Ensure your service provider signs and stamps
the book after each se rvice and inspection.
Owner maintenance
In addition to the routine services and
inspections, a number of simple checks must
be carried out more frequently. These checks
can be carried out by th e owner and advice is
given on the pages that follow.
Daily checks
• Operation of lamps, horn, direction
indicators, wipers, washers and warning
indicators.
• Operation of seat belts and brakes.
• Look for fluid deposits underneath the
vehicle that might indicate a leak.
Condensation drips from the air
conditioning is normal.
CAUTION
Severe damage to the electrical system
and electronic components can occur, if
any attempt is made to diagnose faults in the
electrical system using conventional
diagnostic equipment (e .g. the use of test
lamps or low impedanc e voltmeters). The
fitting of any electric al accessory should only
be entrusted to a Deal er/Authorised Repairer.CAUTION
Any significant or sudden drop in fluid
levels, or uneven tyre wear, should be
reported to a qualifie d technician without
delay.

Maintenance

WASHER FLUID CHECK
The washer reservoir supplies the windscreen
and headlamp washer jets.
Check and top-up the reservoir level at least
every week.
Fill with Jaguar Windscreen Washer Fluid,
diluted with clean water, as specified in the
instructions on the bottle. Using a
non-approved fluid may adversely affect the
wiper blade rubber, resulting in ineffectual and
noisy wiping.
Operate the washer switches periodically to
check that the nozzles are clear and properly
directed.
Topping up the fluid
1. Clean the filler cap before removing to
prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.
2. Open filler cap.
3. Top-up the reservoir until the fluid is
visible in the filler neck.
4. Close filler cap.
WARNINGS
Some screen washer products are
inflammable, particularly if high or
undiluted concentrations are exposed
to sparking. Do not allow screen washer fluid
to come into contact with naked flames or
sources of ignition.
If the vehicle is operated in
temperatures below 4°C (40°F), use a
washer fluid with frost protection. In
cold weather, failure to use a washer fluid with
frost protection, could result in impaired
vision and increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
CAUTIONS
Do not use an antifreeze or
vinegar/water solution in the washer
reservoir - antifreeze will damage painted
surfaces, while vinegar can damage the
windscreen washer pump.
Body panels may suffer discolouration
as a result of screen washer fluid
spillage. Take care to avoid spillage,
particularly if an undiluted or high
concentration is being us ed. If spillage occurs,
wash the affected area immediately with water.

Vehicle battery

Your vehicle is fitted with a low maintenance
battery, which is located under the floor of the
luggage compartment.
In hot climates more frequent checks of the
battery electrolyte level and condition are
required. If necessary, the battery cells can be
topped up using di stilled water.
When the ignition is switched on, but without
the engine running, BATTERY NOT CHARGING
is displayed in the mess age centre. The battery
will only charge when the engine is running.
Note: Do not connect any 12 volt equipment
(e.g. a 12 volt inspection lamp), directly to the
battery terminals. Use the accessory socket
located in the cubby box, for connecting Jaguar
approved accessories.
Battery Monitoring System (BMS)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Battery
Monitoring System (BMS) which manages the
battery charging system and, if excessive
battery discharge is o ccurring when the engine
isn't running, shuts down non-essential
electrical systems to protect battery power.
In the event that too many electrical systems
are operational when the engine is not running,
and the battery charge is insufficient, the audio
and entertainment systems (if active) and
climate control system will be switched off.
This will be confirmed by a low battery warning
message displayed on the touch-screen. If this
occurs, switch on and run the engine for at
least five minutes, preferably with all auxiliary
electrical systems switched off (e.g. lights,
wipers, climate control, seat heaters etc.).
Note: The audio system can be operated
during this five minute period when the engine
is running.
If the engine is switched off before the five
minute period ends and the audio system is
switched on, the warning message will
re-appear on the touch-sc reen and the audio,
entertainment and climate control systems will
switch off again. For this reason, it is important
that the engine is left running for the full five
minute period.
Charging faults
If there is a fault in the battery charging system,
CHARGING FAULT is displayed with red
backlighting in the mess age centre. If this
occurs, switch off all non-essential electrical
systems and seek qualified assistance at the
earliest opportunity.
CAUTION
Do not allow battery electrolyte to come
into contact with fabrics or painted
surfaces. If battery electrolyte comes into
contact with any surfac e, the surface should
be washed down immedi ately with copious
amounts of clean water. Battery electrolyte is
both corrosive and toxic, and can damage a
wide range of materials if left.
