Instruments

Brake - Red
Illuminates when the ignition
system is on and the parking brake
is applied and/or the brake fluid is
low. The indicator will also illuminate when
there is a fault with the Electronic Brakeforce
Distribution (EBD) system.
If the indicator is illu minated and there are no
associated messages, it means that the parking
brake is applied.
If the indicator is illuminated and the message
PARK BRAKE ON is displayed, it means that the
parking brake is applied but the vehicle is
moving. Release the parking brake or stop the
vehicle when it is safe to do so.
If the indicator is illuminated and the message
LOW BRAKE FLUID with a red priority lamp is
displayed on the message centre, low brake
fluid is indicated. In this case, loss of braking in
one or both brake circ uits may be imminent.
Stop the vehicle gently and check and top-up
the brake fluid reservoir, using the
recommended fluid. If the warning message
remains, do not drive the vehicle until the brake
fault is rectified. Se ek qualified assistance
before continuing. See BRAKE FLUID CHECK
(page 206).
If the indicator is illuminated and the message

SAFETY PRECAUTIONSFUEL QUALITY
Water in fuel
Petrol engined vehicles
WARNINGS
Petroleum gasses are highly
flammable, have a low flash point,
and are explosive, especially in
confined spaces. Avoid exposing the gasses to
any potential sources of ignition as the
resulting fire and expl osion may cause serious
injuries and/or death.
Only use containe rs specifically
designed for carrying fuel and always
remove them from the vehicle to fill
them. Failure to do so may result in spillage,
and cause a fire.
Switch off the engine when refuelling,
as it is both a source of extreme
temperatures, and electrical sparks.
The resulting fire a nd explosion may cause
serious injury and death.
Switch off any personal electronic
devices such as mobile phones, or
music players. They have the
potential to cause electrical sparks. The
resulting fire and expl osion may cause serious
injury and death.
Do not smoke, use a naked flame, or
cause sparks. The resulting fire and
explosion may cause serious injury
and death.
Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Overfilling may cause spillage when
the vehicle is driven. Spillage may
also occur if the fuel expands in high ambient
temperatures.
Any modifications to the fuel system
not specifically designed for this
Jaguar are prohibited. Such
modifications in some circumstances, could
result in a fire. All se rvice actions should be
entrusted to a Dealer /Authorised Repairer.The presence of any unusual fumes
(e.g. petrol or exhaust fumes) in the
passenger compartment and/or
luggage compartment, should be corrected
immediately by a Dealer /Authorised Repairer.
If you must drive unde r these conditions, do
so only with all windows fully open.
CAUTIONS
If the warning WATER IN FUEL is
displayed in the message centre, an
excessive amount of wate r has collected in the
fuel filter bowl. Seek assistance from a Jaguar
Dealer/Authorised Repairer to have the filter
drained, as soon as possible.
CAUTIONS
Do not use leaded fuels, lead substitutes
or fuel additives. Doing so can cause
damage to the engine, fuel and emission
control systems.
Only use high quality petrol, as using
lower quality fuels ca n cause damage to
the engine, fuel and emission control systems.
Fuel system cleaning agents should not
be used, unless a pproved by Jaguar.
Unapproved products may be harmful to fuel
system components on your vehicle.
It is the driver’s resp onsibility to fill the
vehicle with the correct fuel. If the
vehicle is filled with the wrong type of fuel, do
not start the engine. Call for Roadside
Assistance.

DIESEL MISFUELLING PROTECTION
DEVICE
Diesel engine vehicles in some markets are
equipped with a misfuelling protection device,
incorporated into the fuel filler neck, designed
to alert that the wrong fuel type has been
selected. If the narrow filler nozzle fitted to
pumps delivering unleaded petrol is correctly
inserted (i.e. fully inserted) into the filler neck,
the misfuel protection de vice will activate.
The protection device c ontinually interrupts the
fuel flow from the pump, until the protector
mechanism in the filler neck is reset.
When activated, the yellow protection device
will be visible in the f iller neck. The device will
need to be reset before the tank can be
correctly filled with dies el fuel. This is achieved
using the reset tool, lo cated in the luggage
compartment, clipped onto the battery
restraining bar.
Note: It is the driver’s responsibility to fill the
vehicle with the correct fuel. The diesel
misfuelling protection devi ce only reduces the
risk of filling the vehicle with the incorrect fuel.
Note: When refuelling the vehicle using a
disposable fuel canister, use a canister
designed for diesel fuel where possible. The
spout on petrol canist ers may activate the
protection device. The device may also be
activated by fuel pumps with a smaller nozzle
than those fitted to standard diesel pumps.
Resetting the protection device
To reset the misfuelling protection device:
1. Insert the reset tool (with the teeth
uppermost) into the fi ller neck opening, as
far as it will go. The triangular section on
the reset tool stop s on the protection
device at the requi red insertion depth.
2. Pivot the reset tool handle downwards to
engage the teeth into the protection device.
3. Keeping the reset tool handle held down,
slowly pull the reset tool out of the filler
neck to reset the misfuelling protection
device.
Note: To ensure that the pr otection device is
correctly reset, check that the yellow protector
is no longer visible in the filler neck.
After resetting the misfuelling protection
device, remove the tool fr om the filler neck and
secure it to the battery restraining bar. If
subsequent driveability difficulties are
encountered, seek assistance from your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
WARNINGS
When the misfuelling protection
device is activated, it could cause fuel
to be discharged from the filler neck.
CAUTIONS
Using the incorrect fuel can result in
major damage to your vehicle’s engine
and fuel system.

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.

Vehicle battery

Your vehicle is fitted with a low maintenance
battery, which is located under the floor of the
luggage compartment.
In hot climates more frequent checks of the
battery electrolyte level and condition are
required. If necessary, the battery cells can be
topped up using di stilled water.
When the ignition is switched on, but without
the engine running, BATTERY NOT CHARGING
is displayed in the mess age centre. The battery
will only charge when the engine is running.
Note: Do not connect any 12 volt equipment
(e.g. a 12 volt inspection lamp), directly to the
battery terminals. Use the accessory socket
located in the cubby box, for connecting Jaguar
approved accessories.
Battery Monitoring System (BMS)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Battery
Monitoring System (BMS) which manages the
battery charging system and, if excessive
battery discharge is o ccurring when the engine
isn't running, shuts down non-essential
electrical systems to protect battery power.
In the event that too many electrical systems
are operational when the engine is not running,
and the battery charge is insufficient, the audio
and entertainment systems (if active) and
climate control system will be switched off.
This will be confirmed by a low battery warning
message displayed on the touch-screen. If this
occurs, switch on and run the engine for at
least five minutes, preferably with all auxiliary
electrical systems switched off (e.g. lights,
wipers, climate control, seat heaters etc.).
Note: The audio system can be operated
during this five minute period when the engine
is running.
If the engine is switched off before the five
minute period ends and the audio system is
switched on, the warning message will
re-appear on the touch-sc reen and the audio,
entertainment and climate control systems will
switch off again. For this reason, it is important
that the engine is left running for the full five
minute period.
Charging faults
If there is a fault in the battery charging system,
CHARGING FAULT is displayed with red
backlighting in the mess age centre. If this
occurs, switch off all non-essential electrical
systems and seek qualified assistance at the
earliest opportunity.
CAUTION
Do not allow battery electrolyte to come
into contact with fabrics or painted
surfaces. If battery electrolyte comes into
contact with any surfac e, the surface should
be washed down immedi ately with copious
amounts of clean water. Battery electrolyte is
both corrosive and toxic, and can damage a
wide range of materials if left.

USING BOOSTER CABLES
Note: Before connecti ng booster cables,
ensure that the battery connections on the
disabled vehicle are correct and that all
electrical equipment has been switched off.
1. Connect one end of the positive booster
cable to the positive terminal on the donor
vehicle's battery.
2. Connect the other end of the positive
booster cable to the positive terminal on
the disabled vehicle's battery. 3.
Connect one end of th e negative booster
cable to the earth point of the donor vehicle
that is recommended for jump starting by
the manufacturer.
4. Connect the other end of the negative
booster cable to a suitable earth point on
the disabled vehicle. The earth point
should be at least 0.5 metres (20 inches)
away from the battery and as far as
possible from any fu el or brake pipes.
• Check that all cables are clear of any
moving components and that all four
connections are secure.
5. Start the engine of the donor vehicle, and
allow it to idle for a few minutes.
6. Start the engine of the disabled vehicle.
7. Allow both vehicles to idle for two minutes.
8. Switch off the donor vehicle.
Disconnecting the cables
Note: Do not switch on any electrical
equipment until after th e cables have been
disconnected.
The engine should be running on the
previously disabled ve hicle and the engine
switched off on the donor vehicle. Disconnect
the booster cables in the exact reverse order of
that used for connection.
WARNINGS
Always wear appropriate eye
protection when working with
batteries.
During normal use, batteries emit
explosive hydrogen gas - ensure
sparks and naked lights are kept away
from the luggage compartment.
Do not attempt to start the vehicle if
the electrolyte in the battery is
suspected of being frozen.
Make sure both batt eries are of the 12
volt type and that the booster cables
have insulated clamps and are
approved for use with 12 volt batteries.
Do not disconnect the discharged
battery.
Do not connect posit ive (+) terminals
to negative (-) terminals and ensure
booster cables are kept away from
any moving parts in the engine compartment.
Do not connect a booster cable to the
negative (-) terminal of the battery.
Always connect to the recommended
earthing point.
WARNING
To avoid serious in jury use extreme
caution when removing the booster
cables as the engine will be running
on the previously disabl ed vehicle. This means
that you may be workin g close to components
which are moving at high speed, carry high
voltage, or may be hot.
