Engine block heaters
Engines are more difficult to start when the
ambient temperature is very low. In
geographical areas where temperatures below
-10°C (14°F) are experienced frequently, it is
advisable to fit an engine block heater. The
block heater will have an insulated connector at
the front of the vehicle, which is connected to a
mains supply using a suitable extension cable.
The heater can remain in use overnight if
required. Typically, an e ngine block heater will
use between 400W and 1000W per hour.
For further information consult your Jaguar
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Fuel and refuelling

Sulphur content
In some countries diesel may contain higher
levers of Sulphur, wh ich could cause damage
to the vehicle, if in doubt contact a local
Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel, a
minimum of 4 litres (0.9 gallons) will be
required to restart the engine. The vehicle will
need to be driven 1.6-5 km (1-3 miles) in order
to reset the engine management and
monitoring systems.
Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel,
seeking qualified assistance is advisable.
Diesel engines
Vehicles with diesel e ngines are equipped with
a system to prevent the fuel tank from
emptying completely. When the fuel reaches a
minimum level, the system will activate a
reduced power mode (i.e . the engine will not
run properly). This will be followed by the
engine stopping in a pproximately 1.6 km
(1 mile). This feature prevents the fuel system from
running dry, which could cause damage to the
vehicle. If the gauge indicates low fuel or the
warning indicator illumi
nates, the fuel tank
should be refuelled as soon as possible at the
next filling stat ion, with at least 4 litres (0.9
gallons) of fuel.
If the system protection function has activated,
the vehicle must firstly be refuelled, then
restarted using the following procedure:
1. With the brake pedal pressed, press and
hold the engine START/STOP button and
crank the engine for five seconds.
2. Release the START/STOP button.
3. With the brake pedal pressed, press and
release the START/STOP button to crank
the engine. The engine should start within
approximately five seconds.
Note: If the engine does not start, pause for ten
seconds with the ignition in convenience
mode, before re peating the procedure from the
beginning.
FUEL CUT-OFF
The fuel system cut-off forms part of the
Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) fitted
to your vehicle. Following an impact, and
depending on the severity , the fuel pump may
be switched off.
CAUTION
Your vehicle is fitted with a Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF), the maximum
Sulphur content must not exceed 0.005%.
Using an incorrect fuel will cause serious
damage to the DPF. See DIESEL
PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) (page 135).
CAUTION
Avoid running out of fuel. Doing so can
cause damage to th e vehicle's engine,
fuel and emission control systems.
CAUTION
Do not crank the engine for longer than
30 seconds, or damage to the fuel pump
may occur.

washes, jet washes and power-operated
mops, are not recommen ded. The detergents
used can contain certain chemicals which
may, over time, be detrimental to some
exterior parts of the vehicle. Prolonged usage
of automatic car wash es and power-operated
mops will also cause fine scratches in the paint
surface.
Ensure that Auto wipe is not selected
when entering a car wash, or damage to
the wiper blades and arms can occur if they
operate during the wash cycle.
Ensure that when using an automatic
drive through car wash, N (Neutral) is
selected and that the ignition is left in
convenience mode for the duration of the
wash.
CAUTIONS
Do not use a high pr essure washer or
steam cleaner in the engine
compartment. Damage to components could
occur.
Ensure that the brake fluid reservoir is
kept dry at all times. Only use a clean,
dry cloth to clean the brake fluid cap and
reservoir.
