Towing
TOWING A TRAILER (V6 petrol and
diesel vehicles only)
Note: It is the driver's responsibility to ensure
that the towing vehicle, and the trailer are being
used correctly, and in accordance with
manufacturers recommendations and any
applicable legislation. Your Dealer/Authorised Repairer and main
motoring and caravanni
ng organisation can
advise you on towing, towing weight capacities
and about regulations that apply in other
countries.
The following are important points of safety,
stability and comfort, upon which further
advice should be sought:
• Maximum braked towing weight is
permissible, provided that long periods of
uphill driving on gradients over 8% are not
undertaken.
• In high altitude mount ainous regions, the
thinner atmosphere can reduce engine
performance. Abov e 1000 metres (3250
feet), the stipulated maximum permitted
gross train weight mu st be reduced by
10% for every 1000 metres (3250 feet) in
altitude.
E95507
WARNINGS
Never exceed the maximum weights
for either the vehicle, or the trailer.
Doing so can cause accelerated wear
and damage to the ve hicle. It can also
adversely affect vehicle stability and braking,
which in turn can lead to loss of control and
increased braking distance resulting in a
rollover or crash.
To preserve handling and stability,
only fit Jaguar approved towing
accessories.
Never use towing eyes or lashing
points to tow a trailer. They have not
been designed for this purpose and
doing so may cause them to fail resulting in
injury or death.
When towing, do not exceed 100
km/h (60 mph) or 80 km/h (50 mph)
if a temporary spare wheel is in use.

Towing
RECOMMENDED TOWING WEIGHTS
Nose/tongue weight must be the greater of
50 kg (110 lbs) or 7% of the actual trailer
weight, up to the maximum tow hitch load.
Nose/tongue weight can be measured using a
proprietary brand of nose weight indicator.
If it is necessary to increase the nose/tongue
weight up to the maximu m allowed, the vehicle
load should be reduced accordingly. This
ensures that the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW),
and maximum rear axle load, are not exceeded.
Note: When towing the maximum permissible
gross vehicle weight can be increased by a
maximum of 100 kg (220 lb.) provided that the
road speed is limited to 100 km/h (60 mph).
Note: When calculating rear axle loading,
remember that the trailer nose/tongue weight,
the load in the vehicle's luggage area and the
weight of rear seat pa ssengers must all be
added together.
Towing weights - Australia only
The weight of a traile r must not exceed 1.5
times the towing vehicle’s weight. The
nose/tongue weight must be a minimum of 7%
of gross caravan/trai ler weight, up to a
maximum of 350 kg (722 lbs).
ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS
• The trailer should be parallel to the ground
when loaded and connected to the vehicle.
• When calculating the laden weight of the
trailer remember to include the weight of
the trailer, plus the weight of the load.
• If the load can be divided between the
vehicle and trailer, loading more weight
into the vehicle will generally improve
stability. Do not exceed the vehicle's
weight limits. See WEIGHTS (page 259).
• Ensure that all applic able regulations and
legislation are complied with when loading
and towing a trailer.
• Increase rear tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle to those for maximum vehicle
loading conditions.
• Ensure trailer tyre pressures are set to
trailer manufacturer' s recommendations.
• If the vehicle is loaded to maximum Gross
Vehicle Weight (GVW) the nose weight is
limited (see Towi ng weights table).
• Ensure that a suitable breakaway cable or
secondary coupling is used. Refer to the
trailer manufacturer' s instructions for
guidance.
• Ensure that the tow ball is secure.
• Check the operation of all trailer lights.
Maximum permissible
towing weights
Unbraked trailers 750 kg (1653 lb.) Trailers with
overrun brakes 1850 kg (4080 lb.)
Nose/Tongue weight 75 kg (165 lb.)
WARNING
Do not exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight (GVW), m aximum rear axle
weight, maximum trailer weight, or
nose/tongue weight. Exceeding any of these
limits could cause inst ability and loss of
control. See WEIGHTS (page 259).
WARNING
Do not loop the breakaway cable over
the tow ball as it may slide off.

CHARGING THE VEHICLE BATTERY
CHANGING THE VEHICLE BATTERY
Battery disposal
Used batteries must be disposed of
correctly as they contain a number of
harmful substances. Seek advice on
disposal from your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer, and/or your local
authority.
WARNING
Ensure that the correct type of battery
charger is used. Using an unsuitable
charger may damage the battery and
could cause the battery to explode.
Always charge the battery in a well
ventilated area, away from any naked
flames, sparks or other ignition
sources. During charging, the battery can
produce a highly explosiv e and flammable gas.
CAUTIONS
Battery disconnecti on, removal and
replacement, should only be carried out
by qualified personne l. Consult your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
If the battery has been removed from
the vehicle to be charged, the Battery
Monitoring System will automatically
recalibrate. During this time, Low Battery
warning messages may appear.
Always follow the instructions supplied
with the battery charger. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the battery.
WARNING
Use caution when lifting the battery
our of, or into, the vehicle. It is heavy
and may cause injury when lifting or if
dropped.
Do not tilt the battery more than 45°,
as it may cause damage and may
cause the electrolyte to leak out.
Battery electrolyte is highly corrosive and
toxic.
CAUTIONS
Battery disconnect ion, removal and
replacement, should only be carried out
by qualified personnel. Consult your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.
If the vehicle battery is replaced by a
new battery, the vehicle electrical
system must be reset to the new battery by
qualified personnel. Fa ilure to reset the
electrical system, may result in Low Battery
warning messages. Consult your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.
Only a replacement battery of the same
type and specification as the original
should be fitted. Other batteries may vary in
size or have different terminal positions, which
could cause a fire hazard when connected to
the vehicle's electrical system.
Do not rest the battery on any part of the
vehicle, as it may cause damage due to
its weight.
Do not run the engine with the battery
disconnected. Doing so may damage
the charging system.
