Wheels and tyres

Wear indicators
When the tread has worn down to
approximately 2 mm, wear indicators start to
appear at the surface of the tread pattern. This
produces a continuous band of rubber across
the tread as a visual indicator.
To maintain performance and grip the tyre
must be replaced as soon as the wear indicator
becomes visible. Sooner, if legislation requires
replacement at a greater tread depth.
Note: Tread depth should be checked
regularly, in some case more frequently than
the service intervals. For advice on checking
tyres contact your Dealer/Authorised repairer
or a tyre dealer.
Age degradation
Tyres degrade over time due to the effects of
ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high
loads, and environmen tal conditions. It is
recommended that tyres are replaced at least
every six years, but they may require
replacement more frequently.
Jaguar recommends that even if unused, the
spare tyre be replaced at the same time as the
four road tyres.
Punctured tyres
Tyre checks
Not all punctures result in the tyre deflating
immediately. Therefore, it is important to check
the tyres for damage and foreign objects,
regularly.
When driving, if a sudden vibration, or change
to the vehicle's hand ling is noticed, reduce
speed immediately. Do not brake hard, or make
any sudden manoeuvres or direction changes.
Drive slowly to an area off the main highway
and stop the vehicle.
Note: Driving the vehicle to a safe area may
cause damage to th e punctured tyre, but
occupant safety is far more important.
Inspect the tyres for signs of punctures,
damage or under inflati on. If any damage or
deformity is detected, the tyre should be
replaced. If a spare tyre is not available, then
the vehicle should be reco vered to a tyre repair
centre, or Dealer/Approved repairer.
WARNING
Wear indicators show the minimum
tread depth recommended by the
manufacturers. Tyres which have
worn to this point will have reduced grip and
poor water displacement characteristics.
CAUTION
If tread wear is uneve n across a tyre, or
the tyre wears excessively, the vehicle
should be checked by your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer as soon as possible.
E91698
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with a
punctured tyre. Even if the punctured
tyre has not deflated, it is unsafe to
use, as the tyre may deflate suddenly at any
time. See TYRE REPAIR KIT (page 229).

Tyre pressure warning with speed
If the vehicle is to be driven at speeds in excess
of 160 km/h (100 mph), the tyre pressures
should be increased as stated in this handbook
or on the placard label. Failure to increase the
tyre pressures and driving in excess of
160 km/h (100 mph), will illuminate the yellow
warning telltale and display a text message
TYRE PRESSURES LOW FOR SPEED . In the
event of this warning be ing displayed, vehicle
speed should be reduced
Temporary use spare wheel and tyre
change
If the temporary use spare wheel is fitted the
system will automatically recognise the change
in wheel positions. The n after approximately
ten minutes of driv ing above 25 km/h
(18 mph), a message TYRE NOT MONITORED
will be displayed accompanied by illumination
of the warning telltale and the corresponding
block in the vehicle graphic.
The warning telltale will initially flash and will
subsequently revert to continuous illumination.
Extended use of the temporary use spare wheel
will produce an additional text message TYRE
PRESSURE SYSTEM FAULT .
This TPM system display sequence will be
activated at every ignition cycle until the
temporary use spare wheel is replaced by a
fully operational full size wheel and tyre
assembly.
Always replace the temporary use wheel before
having TPM system faults investigated. The
fault may well be rectified with the fitment of a
fully operational full size running tyre in lieu of
the temporary use spare wheel assembly.
Tyre changing
Always have your tyres serviced or changed by
a qualified engineer.
Care must be taken to avoid contact between
the bead of the tyre and the sensor during
removal and refitting of the tyre, otherwise the
sensor may become damaged and or
inoperable.
Sensors can be removed from the wheel by the
unscrewing of the va lve retention nut.
Replacement sensor
Should the sensor require replacing, it should
be carried out by a Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
A replacement sensor must be fitted to a
running wheel in order to be recognised by the
system. The vehicle needs to be stationary for
15 minutes during the se nsor fitment before
the system is ready to detect the new sensor.
The vehicle must be driven for a minimum of
fifteen minutes after the sensor change, and
then remain stationary for fifteen minutes to
activate full TPM system operation.
If the TPM system warning for any wheel does
not clear, even after ensuring correct inflation
and driving for more than ten minutes above
25 km/h (18 mph), you should seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Valve stem seal, washer, nut, valve core
and cap should be replaced at every tyre
change. Valve stem seal, washer and nut must
be replaced if valve re tention nut is loosened.
Sensor units and nuts must be refitted using
correct torque figures and associated profile.
Damage to the vehicle may result if these
precautions are not taken.

Audio unit menus

RADIO DATA SYSTEM (RDS)
Options menu overview
Your radio is equipped with Radio Data System
(RDS), which enables the audio unit to receive
additional inform ation with normal FM radio
signals.
When tuned to certai n stations on the FM
waveband, the radi o decodes signals
transmitted to provide the functions listed
below (dependent upon th e service available
from the broadcasters).
Note: Not all FM radio stat ions broadcast RDS
information. If you are currently tuned to a
non-RDS station, then RDS features will be
unavailable.
Select Settings to display the Settings menu,
then select Options to display the list of RDS
options.
Traffic
RDS provides local trav el information (where
broadcast). See TRAFFIC INFORMATION
CONTROL (page 276).
Regionalisation (REG)
As you drive into different radio reception
areas, RDS automatically retunes the radio to
the strongest signal. The Regional (REG)
option stops the system from tuning to another
local radio station wi th a stronger signal.
From the Options menu, you can switch the
REG option On or Off . With REG on, your
selected local radio st ation will remain tuned
even if reception levels drop.
Alternative frequency (AF)
Some radio stations broadcast on different
frequencies in different parts of the country. If
the selected station signal weakens, the radio
will automatically re -tune to a stronger
alternative frequency (AF) , if one is available
(this feature is partic ularly useful on long
journeys where the vehicle travels through
different transmitter areas serving the same
radio station).
From the Options menu, you can switch AF On
or Off .
Enhanced other networks (EON)
The Enhanced Other Network (EON) option will
tune to any radio station on the same station
network as the one that you are listening to, if
the signal becomes weak.
Either local ( Local) or distant ( Dist.) networks
can be enabled on the Options menu, or the
option can be switched Off.
