2009 JAGUAR XF ECO mode

Driving dynamics
172

Note: In rare circumstances, when TracDSC is
selected or DSC is o ff, high acceleration on
rough roads may cause DSC to switch back on.
This prevents high loads on the vehicle
driveline. DSC will su bsequently remain on,
unless TracDSC is selected or DSC is switched
off manually.
Stability control indicator
If there is a fault, the warning
indicator will ill uminate in the
instrument panel and the message
centre will display DSC NOT AVAILABLE with
an amber backlight.
It is safe to drive the vehicle, but the DSC
system will not activa te under wheel spin or
slide conditions. You should seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
Adaptive dynamics
(Supercharged vehicles only)
Jaguar Adaptive dy namics continuously
monitors the road a nd driver inputs and
optimises the vehicle suspension settings for
ride comfort and control.
The adaptive dynamics system is linked to
Dynamic mode, modifying the suspension
settings for a more sporting character.
If the message centre displays the message
ADAPTIVE DYNAMICS FAULT , a fault has been
detected in the adaptive dynamics system.
Seek qualified assistan ce as soon as possible.
Active Differential Control (E-diff)
(Supercharged vehicles only)
The E-diff improves trac tion when one driven
wheel has more grip than the other. This
improves progress out of corners and on
patchy or uneven surfaces. The E-diff can also
increase stability in oversteer situations,
depending on road c onditions and driver
inputs. Settings for the E-diff are made automatically,
without the need for driver selection.
If there is a fault with the E-diff system, the
message centre will display
EDIFF SYSTEM
FAULT . If DSC is off, then TracDSC will be
selected automatically. The driver can still
switch between DSC mode s, as normal and the
vehicle is safe to dr ive, but seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
Note: If the E-diff is active continuously for an
extended period (e.g. on a patchy surface with
DSC off) then the E-diff may be temporarily
deactivated to prevent ov erheating. If DSC is
off, then TracDSC will be selected
automatically. The mess age centre will display
EDIFF NOT AVAILABLE . The driver can still
switch between DSC modes as normal and the
E-diff will become availa ble again automatically
when it has cool ed sufficiently.

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.

Vehicle care
188

Do not use household soaps or detergents. The
use of Jaguar Vehicle Shampoo is
recommended.
Note: The vehicle's brightwork should be
cleaned using a sponge and generous
quantities of cold or lukewarm water only.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a chamois
leather or synthetic substitute.
Using an automatic wash
Note: Regular use of automatic car washes
tends to dull the lustre of the paintwork.
1. Drive up to the entry of the car wash and
onto the conveyor.
2. Select N (Neutral) using the JaguarDrive
selector.
3. Press and release the engine START/STOP
button to stop the engine. The JaguarDrive
selector should remain raised and the
selector and message centre should
indicate that N is selected. 4.
The vehicle should rema in in this condition
while it is conveyed through the car wash.
5. At the end of the wash cycle, when directed
to start the engine by the car wash
instructions, press the brake pedal and
press and release the engine START/STOP
button to start the engine.
6. Select D (Drive) using the JaguarDrive
selector and drive away.
Do not start the engine or change the
JaguarDrive selector position during the car
wash.
After leaving the car wash, switch on the
windscreen wiper immediately to remove water
and prevent a build up of wax.
Underbonnet cleaning
CAUTIONS
Commercially operated automatic car
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.

Maintenance

ENGINE OIL CHECK - V8 Petrol
engines
Engine oil consumption
A certain amount of oil consumption is normal.
The rate of consumpt ion will depend on the
following:
• The quality and viscosity of the oil.
• Climatic conditions.
• The speed at which th e engine is being
operated.
• Road conditions.
Drivers should expe ct above normal
consumption when th e engine is new.
Checking the oil level
For an accurate oil level reading to be taken, the
following conditions must be met:
•The vehicle needs to be parked on level
ground. •
The oil level should be checked when the
oil is hot. It is therefore recommended that
a reading is taken after a journey.
• The vehicle needs to stand for
approximately 10 minutes after the engine
is switched off, to allow the oil to drain
back into the sump.
Note: The system will not gi ve a reading until
the oil level has stabilised.
Once the above conditions are met, check the
oil level as follows:
1. Switch on the ignition - do not start the
engine.
2. Set the transmission to Park ( P).
3. Press the TRIP butt on on the end of the
left-hand column stalk repeatedly, until the
oil can icon is displa yed at the bottom of
the message centre.
4. The oil level and topping- up advice will be
shown in the message centre. Top-up as
instructed.
CAUTIONS
It is recommended that the oil level is
checked weekly. If any significant or
sudden drop in oil level is noted you should
seek qualified assistance immediately.
Your vehicle’s warranty may be
invalidated if damage is caused by the
use of improper engine oil. Low quality or
obsolete oils do not provide the protection
required by modern, high performance
engines. Failure to use an oil that meets the
required specification could cause excessive
engine wear, a build up of sludge and deposits
and increased pollution. It could also lead to
engine failure.
Do not use oil additi ves of any type as
engine damage could occur. Use only
specified lubricants.

203
Maintenance

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.
