3. Dock the Jaguar Smart Key and switch on
the ignition. See GENERAL INFORMATION
(page 132). 4.
Apply the foot brake and release the
parking brake.
5. With the foot brake st ill applied, activate
the Emergency Park Release (EPR).
See TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
(page 254).
6. The vehicle can now be towed a maximum
of 0.8 km (0.5 miles) at a maximum speed
of 48 kmh (30 mph).
7. Upon arrival at the destination, ensure
wherever possible that the vehicle is
parked on firm level ground.

lever, to cancel EP R and to re-engage P
(Park).
9. Apply the parking brake.
10. Switch off the ignition and remove the
Jaguar Smart Key.
11. Remove the towing attachment from the
towing eye.
WARNINGS
Ensure that the remote control
remains docked whilst the vehicle is
being towed. Removing the remote
control will engage the steering lock, which
will prevent the vehicle from steering
correctly.
If the engine cannot be run whilst the
vehicle is being towed, there will be
no power assistance for the steering
or brakes. This will result in greater effort
being required to steer or slow the vehicle, and
greatly increased stopping distances.
CAUTIONS
The vehicle should only be towed in a
forward direction with all four wheels on
the ground.
The vehicle should only be towed for a
maximum of 0.8 km (0.5 miles), at a
maximum speed of 48 km/h (30 mph). Towing
for a greater distance or at a higher speed, may
result in serious damage to the transmission.
CAUTION
Leaving the ignition switched on for
extended periods will cause the battery
to drain.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when detaching
towing equipment. Vehicle movement
is possible which can result in serious
injuries.
