BRAKE FLUID CHECK
If the quantity of fluid in the brake
reservoir drops below the
recommended level, a red warning
indicator in the instrume nt pack will illuminate
and the message BRAKE FLUID LOW will be
displayed in the message centre.
Note: If the warning indicator illuminates or the
message is displayed, while the vehicle is being
driven, stop the vehicle as soon as safety
permits by gently applying the brakes. Check
and top-up the fluid level if necessary.
Checking the fluid level
With the vehicle on level ground, check the
fluid level at least every week (more frequently
in high mileage or arduous operating
conditions).
The brake fluid reservoi r is located beneath a
cover on the raised platform to the rear of the
main underbonnet area. See ENGINE
COMPARTMENT OVERVIEW (page 196).
1. Release the catch.
2. Lift the cover forwards, then pull
rearwards, to release the hinges.
3. Clean the filler cap with a clean, dry cloth
before removing, to prevent dirt or
moisture from entering the reservoir.
WARNING
Seek qualified assistance immediately
if brake pedal travel is unusually long,
unusually short or if there is any
significant loss of br ake fluid. Driving under
such conditions could result in extended
stopping distances or co mplete brake failure.
WARNINGS
Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep
containers sealed a nd out of reach of
children. If accidental consumption is
suspected, seek medical attention
immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with
the skin or eyes, rinse immediately
with plenty of water.
Brake fluid is highl y inflammable. Do
not allow brake fluid to come into
contact with naked flames or other
sources of ignition (e.g. a hot engine) - a fire
may result.
Do not drive the vehicle with the fluid
level below the MIN mark.

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.

7.Switch the compressor to on ( I) and inflate
the tyre to the correct pressure.
8. To check the tyre pressure, turn off the
compressor then read the pressure from
the gauge.
9. When the compressor is off, if the tyre
pressure is too high, release the required
amount of pressure using the pressure
relief valve.
10. Once the tyre is inflated to the correct
pressure, switch off the compressor and
remove the power plug from the auxiliary
socket.
•The use of the tyre re pair kit sealant may
lead to error prompts and incorrect
readings of the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System. Therefore, use the
tyre repair kit pressure gauge to check
and adjust the damaged tyre's inflation
pressure.
11. Unscrew the inflation hose connector from
the tyre valve, replace the tyre valve cap
and the inflation hose connector protective
cap.
12. Ensure that the tyre repair kit is placed
securely in the vehicle.
13. Drive to the nearest tyre repair centre or
Dealer/Authorised Repairer, for a
replacement tyre to be fitted. Ensure that
you make the repair centre aware that the
tyre repair kit has been used before the tyre
is removed.
14. Both the tyre inflation hose, and the sealant
container should be replaced once a new
tyre has been fitted. Only sealant containers which are
completely empty should be
disposed of with normal household
waste. Sealant containe rs which contain some
sealant, and the tyre in flation hose, should be
disposed of by a tyre specialist or your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer, in compliance with
local waste dispos al regulations.
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
Note: Non-approved accessories may interfere
with the system. If this occurs, TYRE
PRESSURE SYSTEM FAULT is displayed in the
message centre.
WARNINGS
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM)
system is NOT a substitute for
manually checking ty re pressures.
The TPM system only provides a low pressure
warning and does not re-i nflate your tyres.
Tyre pressures should be checked regularly
using an accurate pressure gauge when cold.
Failure to properly maintain your pressures
could increase the risk of tyre failure, with
consequential loss of vehicle control and
personal injury.
The TPM system can NOT register
damage to a tyre. Regularly check the
condition of your tyre s, especially if
the vehicle is driven off-road.
CAUTION
When inflating tyre s, care should be
taken to avoid bend ing or damaging the
TPM system valves. Always ensure correct
alignment of the inflation head to the valve
stem.

Wheels and tyres

Note: Different types of tyre may affect the
performance of the TPM system. Always
replace tyres in accordance with
recommendations. See TYRE
SPECIFICATIONS - ARDUOUS TERRAIN
(page 239).
Your vehicle may be equipped with a TPM
System which monitors pressure in each tyre
(temporary use spare wheels are not fitted with
sensors and are conseque ntly not monitored).
Wheels fitted with a TPM system can be easily
visually identified by the external metal lock nut
and valve ( 1). All Jaguar n on-TPM system
wheels have a rubber valve fitted (2).
TPM system operation
The TPM system monitors pressure of the
tyres via sensors located in each wheel and a
receiver located within the vehicle.
Communication between se nsor and receiver
is via Radio Frequency (RF) signals.
The tyre pressure warning
comprises a yellow warning telltale
within the instrument panel, and
the associated messages within the message
centre. If the telltale light illu
minates, you should stop
and check your tyres as soon as possible and
inflate them to the recommended pressure as
stated on the tyre pressure placard. If low
pressure warnings occur frequently, the cause
must be determined and rectified.
When driving through variable climatic
conditions the TPM syst em warnings may be
intermittent.
Your vehicle will also indicate a TPM System
malfunction by initially flashing and
subsequent continuous illumination of the
warning telltale. A text message will
accompany the system malfunction and will
display TYRE PRESSURE SYSTEM FAULT . The
TPM system fault sequence will be activated at
every ignition cycle until the fault is rectified.
When a malfunction occurs, the system may
not be able to de tect or signal low tyre pressure
as intended.
TPM system malfuncti ons may occur for a
variety of reasons which may include other
radio frequency systems that could cause
interference or the installation of incompatible
replacement tyres on the vehicle.
