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.

Maintenance
WASHER FLUID CHECK
The washer reservoir supplies the windscreen
and headlamp washer jets.
Check and top-up the reservoir level at least
every week.
Fill with Jaguar Windscreen Washer Fluid,
diluted with clean water, as specified in the
instructions on the bottle. Using a
non-approved fluid may adversely affect the
wiper blade rubber, resulting in ineffectual and
noisy wiping.
Operate the washer switches periodically to
check that the nozzles are clear and properly
directed.
Topping up the fluid
1. Clean the filler cap before removing to
prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.
2. Open filler cap.
3. Top-up the reservoir until the fluid is
visible in the filler neck.
4. Close filler cap.
WARNINGS
Some screen washer products are
inflammable, particularly if high or
undiluted concentrations are exposed
to sparking. Do not allow screen washer fluid
to come into contact with naked flames or
sources of ignition.
If the vehicle is operated in
temperatures below 4°C (40°F), use a
washer fluid with frost protection. In
cold weather, failure to use a washer fluid with
frost protection, could result in impaired
vision and increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
CAUTIONS
Do not use an antifreeze or
vinegar/water solution in the washer
reservoir - antifreeze will damage painted
surfaces, while vinegar can damage the
windscreen washer pump.
Body panels may suffer discolouration
as a result of screen washer fluid
spillage. Take care to avoid spillage,
particularly if an undiluted or high
concentration is being us ed. If spillage occurs,
wash the affected area immediately with water.
