AIR VENTS
1.Air volume adjust.
2. Air direction adjust.
3. Solar sensor.
The rotating air vents acti vate and rotate out of
the fascia when the engine START/STOP
button is pressed, provided the climate system
has not been manually switched off. Adjust the
volume of air usi ng the thumbwheels ( 1) and
the direction of the air using the direction
controls ( 2), to suit your requirements.
It is possible to set the air vents so that they
remain permanently on view, even when the
ignition is switched off. From the touch-screen Climate menu, select
Settings
. Select Vent rotation Always open .
Rear vents
The temperature of the air supplied by the rear
air vents is dependent on the combined
temperature settings for the driver and front
passenger. For example, if the driver
temperature is set to 21°C (70°F) and 20°C
(68°F) for the front passenger, the temperature
of the air supplied to the rear of the vehicle will
be approximately 20.5°C (69°F).

illuminates when recirculation
is turned on.
When selected, the air is recirculated inside the
vehicle. This helps to ma intain a high or low
temperature, and is useful for preventing
fumes from entering the vehicle.
Recirculation may also be selected in AUTO
mode, if the climate control system detects
high levels of pollution in the atmosphere
outside the vehicle (if a smog sensor is fitted).
Manual operation of the recirculation control

dehumidify the air.
Note: Water may collect unde rneath the vehicle
when parked. This is moisture expelled from
the interior of the vehicle by the air
conditioning system a nd is not cause for
concern.

Vehicle care
190

Leather
Leather is an easy to maintain natural product.
However, dust and subs tances can penetrate
the pores and crease the leather, causing
surface wear and brittleness.
To prevent ingrained dirt and staining, inspect
the seat upholstery regularly and clean every
one to two months, as follows:
• Wipe off fine dust from the seat surfaces
using a clean, damp, non-coloured cloth.
Change frequently to a clean area of cloth,
to avoid abrasive action on the leather
surface. Avoid over-wetting.
• If this is not suffic ient, use a cloth which
has been dampened with warm soapy
water and then wrung out. Use only mild
non-caustic soap.
• Use Jaguar Leather Cleaner for heavily
soiled areas. Dry off and rub with a clean
soft cloth, changing surfaces regularly.
When staining (e.g. from clothing) or spillage
occurs, clean the affected area immediately as
described above.
Use Jaguar Leather Cleaner several times a
year to maintain its appearance and
suppleness. The clea ner will nourish and
moisturise and help to improve the surface
protective film agains t dust and substances.
• Do not use solvents. Do not use
detergents, furniture polish or household
cleaners. While these products may
initially give impressi ve results, their use
will lead to rapid deterioration of the
leather and will inva lidate the warranty.
Jaguar recommend a basic set of products
that have been specially selected for the
type of leather in your vehicle.
• Dark clothing may stain leather seats just
like other upholstery products. •
Sharp objects such as belts, zip fasteners,
rivets, etc., can leave permanent scratches
and scratch marks on the leather surface.
• Unless spillages such as tea, coffee or ink
are washed away immediately, permanent
staining may have to be accepted.
If a valet service is used, ensure that the
specialist concerned is aware of, and follows,
these instructions precisely.
Cloth and fabric
Use Jaguar Upholstery Cleaner, following the
instructions. Avoid over-wetting.
Removing stains
Most stains on woollen fabric can be removed
if treatment is carried out immediately, before
the stain has a chance to dry-in.
Most stains can be treated with one of three
cleaning fluids: Jaguar U pholstery Cleaner, dry
cleaning fluid or clean water. Follow the
instructions on the package.
Instrument pack, clock, and audio
equipment
Only use a soft dry cloth to clean the
instrument pack, clock and audio equipment.
Do not use cleaning fluids or sprays.
CAUTIONS
Never use soap, ammonia, bleach or
other cleaners intended for use on hard
surfaces.
Do not use upholst ery cleaner on
electrical equipment such as fascia
switches.
When cleaning around electrical
equipment such as switches, ensure
that fluids do not leak into any gaps around the
components or between panels or trim.
