Oil level warnings
Warnings will be displayed in the message
centre if the oil level is not maintained within
the safe operating le vels (minimum and
maximum). A warning will also be displayed if
there is a fault with the oil level monitoring
system.
• ENGINE OIL LOW (amber): The oil is at the
minimum level for sa fe operation. Top-up
with 1 litre (1.8 pints) of oil.
• ENGINE OIL HIGH (amber): This warning
is displayed when the e ngine is started, if
the oil is above the maximum level for safe
operation. Seek qualified assistance to
have the engine oil drained, before driving
the vehicle.
• ENGINE OIL CRITICALLY LOW (red): The
oil is below the minimum level for safe
operation. Stop the vehicle as soon as
safety permits and top-up with 1.5 litres
(2.6 pints) of oil. Wait for 5 minutes,
recheck the oil level reading and top-up
again if necessary.
• ENGINE OIL LEVEL MONITOR SYSTEM
FAULT (amber): A fault with the oil level
monitoring system is indicated. Seek
qualified assistance as soon as possible.
Checking the oil level
The engine oil level is automatically monitored
and is displayed in the trip computer area of the
message centre.
The current oil level can be viewed with the
ignition on, with the engine stopped and the
transmission in Park (P ).
To view the current oil level, allow 5 minutes
after stopping the engine (to allow the oil level
to stabilise), then press the TRIP button on the
end of the left column stalk repeatedly, until the
oil can icon is displayed at the bottom of the
message centre. A.
Oil at recommended level. No top-up
required.
B. Add 0.5 litres (0.9 pint) of oil.
C. Add 1 litre (1.8 pints) of oil.
D. Oil level above maximum for safe
operation. Do not driv e the vehicle. Seek
qualified assistance.
E. Oil level below minimum for safe
operation. Add 1.5 litre (2.6 pints) of oil,
then recheck level.
F1. Oil level stabilising, oil level not available.
Wait ten minutes and then recheck the oil
level display.
F2. If this display is accompanied by the
warning message ENGINE OIL LEVEL

Topping up the oil
1.With the ignition on, but the engine not
running, unscrew the oil filler cap
(arrowed).
2. Add the appropriate quantity of oil (as
indicated by the message centre oil level
display). Wait 5 minutes to let the oil level
stabilise and re-check the level.
Clean up any oil spilled during topping up.
3. Once the correct level is achieved, refit the
filler cap and hand tighten securely until
one click is heard.
Note: The approximate quantity of oil required
to raise the level from the minimum level of
safe operation to the ma ximum, is 1.5 litres
(2.6 pints). Note:
The ignition must be left on during the
top-up, so that the el ectronic dipstick can
register and display the new oil level. This
enables an accurate level re-check.
ENGINE OIL SPECIFICATION
It is essential to use the correct specification of
engine oil, and to ensure it is suitable for the
climatic conditions in whic h the vehicle is to be
operated.
Jaguar recommends:
CAUTIONS
Your vehicle warranty may be
invalidated if damage is caused by using
oil that does not meet the required
specification.
Failure to use an oil that meets the
required specification, could cause
excessive engine wear, a build-up of sludge
and deposits and increase pollution. It could
also lead to engine failure.
Overfilling with oil could result in severe
engine damage.

Using the Jaguar tyre repair kit
Note: All vehicle drivers and occupants should
be made aware that a temporary repair has
been made to a tyre fitted to the vehicle. They
should also be made aware of the special
driving conditions im posed when using a
repaired tyre.
Repair procedure
1. Open the tyre repair kit and peel off the
maximum speed label. Attach the label to
the fascia in the driver's field of vision.
Take care not to obstruct any of the
instruments or warning lights.
2. Uncoil the compressor power cable and
the inflation hose.
3. Unscrew the orange cap from the sealant
bottle receiver and the sealant bottle cap.
4. Screw the sealant bottle into the receiver
(clockwise) until tight.
•Screwing the bottle onto the receiver will
pierce the bottle's se al. Do not unscrew
a full, or partly us ed bottle from the
receiver. Doing so will result in sealant
leaking from the bottle.
5. Remove the valve cap from the damaged
tyre.
6. Remove the protective cap from the
inflation hose and connect the inflation
hose to the tyre valve. Ensure that the hose
is screwed on firmly.
7. Ensure that the compressor switch is in
the off (0) position.
8. Insert the power cable connector into the
auxiliary power socket. See AUXILIARY
POWER SOCKETS (page 125).
WARNINGS
Avoid skin contact with the sealant
which contains natu ral rubber latex.
If the tyre inflati on pressure does not
reach 1.8 bar (26 lbf/in², 180 kPa)
within seven minutes, the tyre may
have suffered excessive damage. A temporary
repair will not be poss ible, and the vehicle
should not be driven until the tyre has been
replaced.
CAUTIONS
Before attempting a ty re repair, ensure
that the vehicle is parked safely, as far
away from passing traffic as possible.
Ensure that the parki ng brake is applied
and P (Park) is selected.
Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects such as nails, screws, etc. from
the tyre.
Always run the engine when using the
compressor, unless the vehicle is in an
enclosed or poorly ventil ated space, as this
may cause asphyxiation.
To prevent overheating, do not operate
the compressor continuously for longer
than ten minutes.
WARNING
Check the tyre sidewall prior to
inflation. If there are any cracks,
bumps or similar damage, do not
attempt to inflate the tyre. Do not stand
directly beside the tyre while the compressor
is pumping. Watch the ty re sidewall. If any
cracks, bumps or simila r damage appear, turn
off the compressor and let the air out by
means of the pressure relief valve. Do not
continue to use the tyre.
