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.
WARNINGS

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.

Fuel and refuelling

REFUELLING
Fuel filler
Filling station pumps used for diesel
commercial vehicles deliver fuel at a higher
rate than normal. The hi gher fill rate can cause
premature cut-off and ma y cause fuel spillage.
Therefore, it is recommended that only
standard light vehicle pumps are used. If the fuel cuts off as soon as the trigger on the
pump is operated, check that the correct fuel
has been selected. Immediate cut-off may have
been caused by the fuel guard system.
See
DIESEL MISFUELLING PROTECTION
DEVICE (page 180).
Fuel tank capacity
Avoid the risk of running out of fuel and never
intentionally drive the vehicle when the fuel
gauge indicates that the tank is empty. When
refuelling your vehicle after the fuel gauge
reads empty, you may not be able to add the
fuel quantity shown below, as there will be a
small reserve remaining in the tank.
All engines
WARNINGS
When refuelling ensure that all
windows, doors, and sunroof are fully
closed, particularly if young children
or animals are in the vehicle. Fuel vapour
contains harmful chemical compounds, some
of which may cause cancer.
Do not attempt to fill the tank to its
maximum capacity. If the vehicle is to
be parked on a slope, in direct
sunlight or high ambient temperature,
expansion of the fuel could cause spillage.
Filling station pumps are equipped with
automatic cut-off sensing, to avoid fuel
spillage. Fill the tank unt il the filler nozzle
automatically cuts off supply. Do not attempt
to fill the tank beyond this point.
CAUTIONS
Check the fuel pump information
carefully, to ensure that you are putting
the correct fuel into the vehicle. Filling a
vehicle with the incorrect fuel can cause
serious engine and fu el system damage.
It is the driver’s responsibility 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.

Telephone

GENERAL INFORMATIONNote: The vehicle telephone system is
designed to function with a wide variety of
Bluetooth® telephones.
As these telephones have a wide range of audio
and echo characteristics, it may take a few
seconds for the vehicle telephone system to
adapt and deliver optimum audio performance.
It may be necessary to reduce the in-vehicle
volume slightly, to fully optimise audio
performance and reduce echo.
In order to achieve th e best possible audio
performance, it may be necessary to select a
lower speed on the heat er blower and reduce
the system volume slightly, when using certain
mobile phones.
Telephone networks
The telephone network standard allows you to
use your telephone in many countries.
However, telephone rece ption may be poor or
unavailable in remote re gions. This may be due
to the inadequate power of the transmitter,
which results in a weak signal or incomplete
coverage.
What is Bluetooth®?
Jaguar Bluetooth® Connectivity was
developed to be used wi th a selected range of
mobile phones, from a number of different
manufacturers. Some mobile phones feature
different operating soft ware versions - the
correct version is needed for successful
integration with the Jaguar Bluetooth®
system.
Bluetooth is an intern ational standard that
allows electronic com ponents to communicate
with each other, using a short-range radio link.
Bluetooth eliminates the need for wires or
cables: Typically, devices can communicate at
a range of up to 10 metres (33 feet).
WARNING
Using the telephone near the car: Do
not telephone inside a garage or near
an open car bonnet. The air may
contain fuel vapours a nd the telephone could
produce sparks and start a fire.
Unusual ambient conditions: Switch
off the telephone in areas where high
explosives are being used. High
frequency remote controls could be interfered
with and cause an explos ion. Switch off your
telephone in areas with a high explosion risk.
This includes filling st ations, fuel storage
areas or chemical factories, as well as places
where the air contains fuel vapour, chemicals
or metal dust. The telephone might produce
sparks and cause a fire or explosion.
Medical equipment: The functioning
of cardiac pacemakers or hearing aids
may be impaired when the phone is in
use. Check with a doctor or manufacturer
whether any such devices you or your
passengers are using, are sufficiently
protected against high-frequency energy.
Always stow your mobile phone
securely. In an accident, loose items
can cause injury.
Using any hand-held appliance while
driving, can be dangerous and is
illegal in cert ain countries.
