Wipers and washers

Low screen wash
If the low washer fluid warning is on, the
windscreen wipers will not operate when the
wash/wipe is activated, even though there may
be washer fluid remaining in the reservoir
which is sprayed onto the screen. This is to
prevent damage to the wiper blades, scratching
of the glass or smearing dirt across the screen.
Normal, fast or single wipe can be selected
manually, to clear any spray from the
windscreen.
Timed jet function
If the timed jet func tion is configured,
the washer jets will only operate on the
up stroke of the wipers.
This function can be enabled/disabled by your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Drip wipe
If the drip wipe function is configured,
the wipers will operate four seconds
after a wash wipe cycle has finished, to
clear any remaining drips from the windscreen.
This function can be enabled/disabled by your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Blocked jets
If a washer jet becomes blocked, use a thin
strand of wire to unblock the jet by inserting
the wire into the jet. Ensure that the wire is
completely remove d after unblocking.
HEADLAMP WASHERS
Headlamp power wash operates automatically
with the windscreen wash, and will only
operate if the headlamps are switched on and
there is sufficient washer fluid in the reservoir.
Headlamp wash operates with every fourth
operation of the screen wa shers, provided that
ten minutes have elapsed since the last
operation of the headlamp washers.
Note: The power wash sequence is reset when
the headlamps or the ignition are turned off.
Note: Headlamp power wash is inhibited when
the low washer fluid warning is on.
CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES
The wiping edge of the blades should be
checked and cleaned periodically. Check the
blade rubber and replace the blade immediately
if cracks, splits or roughness are detected, to
prevent damage to the glass.
Clean the blade edge by wiping with a soft cloth
or sponge, using wa rm soapy water.
If the wipers fail to clear the windscreen when
operated, check the cond ition of the blade and
replace if necessary.
WARNING
Do not operate the washer jets during
adjustment. Windscreen washer fluid
may cause irritation to the eyes and
skin. Always read and observe the washer fluid
manufacturers instructions.
WARNING
Only use cleani ng products which
have been approved for use on
automotive glass and rubber.
Inappropriate products can cause smearing,
and increase glare.

Vehicle care
188

Do not use household soaps or detergents. The
use of Jaguar Vehicle Shampoo is
recommended.
Note: The vehicle's brightwork should be
cleaned using a sponge and generous
quantities of cold or lukewarm water only.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a chamois
leather or synthetic substitute.
Using an automatic wash
Note: Regular use of automatic car washes
tends to dull the lustre of the paintwork.
1. Drive up to the entry of the car wash and
onto the conveyor.
2. Select N (Neutral) using the JaguarDrive
selector.
3. Press and release the engine START/STOP
button to stop the engine. The JaguarDrive
selector should remain raised and the
selector and message centre should
indicate that N is selected. 4.
The vehicle should rema in in this condition
while it is conveyed through the car wash.
5. At the end of the wash cycle, when directed
to start the engine by the car wash
instructions, press the brake pedal and
press and release the engine START/STOP
button to start the engine.
6. Select D (Drive) using the JaguarDrive
selector and drive away.
Do not start the engine or change the
JaguarDrive selector position during the car
wash.
After leaving the car wash, switch on the
windscreen wiper immediately to remove water
and prevent a build up of wax.
Underbonnet cleaning
CAUTIONS
Commercially operated automatic car
washes, jet washes and power-operated
mops, are not recommen ded. The detergents
used can contain certain chemicals which
may, over time, be detrimental to some
exterior parts of the vehicle. Prolonged usage
of automatic car wash es and power-operated
mops will also cause fine scratches in the paint
surface.
Ensure that Auto wipe is not selected
when entering a car wash, or damage to
the wiper blades and arms can occur if they
operate during the wash cycle.
Ensure that when using an automatic
drive through car wash, N (Neutral) is
selected and that the ignition is left in
convenience mode for the duration of the
wash.
CAUTIONS
Do not use a high pr essure washer or
steam cleaner in the engine
compartment. Damage to components could
occur.
Ensure that the brake fluid reservoir is
kept dry at all times. Only use a clean,
dry cloth to clean the brake fluid cap and
reservoir.

Maintenance

Weekly checks
•Engine oil level (non- electronic dipstick
vehicles). See ENGINE OIL CHECK - V6
Petrol engines (page 197).
• Engine coolant check. See ENGINE
COOLANT CHECK (page 204).
• Brake fluid level. See BRAKE FLUID
CHECK (page 206).
• Power steering fluid level. See POWER
STEERING FLUID CHECK (page 208).
• Screen washer fluid level. See WASHER
FLUID CHECK (page 209).
• Tyre pressures and condition. See TYRE
CARE (page 217).
• Operate air conditioning. See AUTOMATIC
CLIMATE CONTROL (page 116).
Note: The engine oil level on V6 petrol engines,
should be checked more frequently if the
vehicle is driven for prolonged periods at high
speeds. The engine oil level on diesel and V8
petrol engines is checked automatically at all
times by the electronic dipstick.
Severe driving conditions
When a vehicle is operated in severe
conditions, more frequent attention must be
paid to servicing requirements.
Severe driving conditions include:
• Driving in dusty and/or sandy conditions.
• Driving on rough and/or muddy roads
and/or wading. •
Driving in extremely hot or cold
conditions.
• Driving in areas using road salt or other
corrosive materials.
• Towing a trailer or driving in mountainous
conditions.
Contact your Dealer/Authorised Repairer for
advice.
Emission control
Your vehicle is fitted with various items of
emission and evaporati ve control equipment,
designed to meet specific territorial
requirements. You should be aware that
unauthorised replacemen t, modification or
tampering with this equipment by an owner or
repair shop, may be unlawful and subject to
legal penalties.
In addition, engine se ttings must not be
tampered with. These have been established to
ensure that your vehicle complies with
stringent exhaust em ission regulations.
Incorrect engine settings may adversely affect
exhaust emissi ons, engine performance and
fuel consumption. The y may also cause high
temperatures, which will result in damage to
the catalytic converter and the vehicle.
Road testing dynamometers (rolling
roads)
Because your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock
brakes, it is essential that any dynamometer
testing is carried out only by a qualified person,
familiar with the dynamometer testing and
safety procedures practised by
Dealers/Authorised Repairers.
CAUTION
Ensure that you take notice of any
message centre information and
warnings relating to engi ne oil level (V8 petrol
and diesel engines only). Top-up the level
when advised to do so. See ENGINE OIL
CHECK - V8 Petrol engines (page 199).

Safety in the garageFuel system
Poisonous fluids
Fluids used in motor vehicles are poisonous
and should not be consumed or brought into
contact with open wounds. These include;
battery acid, antifreeze, brake, clutch and
power steering fluid, petrol, diesel, engine oil
and windscreen washer additives.
For your own safety, always read and obey all
instructions printed on labels and containers.
Used engine oil
Prolonged contact with engine oil may cause
serious skin disorders, including dermatitis
and cancer of the skin. Always wash
thoroughly after contact.
It is illegal to pollute drains, water
courses or soil. Use authorised
waste disposal site s to dispose of
used oil and toxic chemicals.
WARNINGS
If the vehicle has been driven
recently, do not touch exhaust and
cooling system components until the
engine has cooled.
Never leave the engi ne running in an
unventilated area - exhaust gases are
poisonous and extremely dangerous.
Do not work beneath the vehicle with
the wheel changing jack as the only
means of support.
Keep your hands and clothing away
from drive belts, pulleys and fans.
Some fans may continue to operate
after the engi ne has stopped.
Remove metal wrist bands and
jewellery, before working in the
engine compartment.
Do not touch electrical leads or
components while the engine is
running, or with the starter switch
turned on.
Do not allow tools or metal parts of
the vehicle to make contact with the
battery leads or terminals.WARNINGS
Under no circumstances should any
part of the fuel system be dismantled
or replaced by anyone other than a
suitably qualified vehicle technician. Failure to
comply with this instruct ion, may result in fuel
spillage with a consequent serious risk of fire.
Ensure sparks and naked lights are
kept away from the engine
compartment.
Wear protective cl othing, including,
where practicable, gloves made from
an impervious material.
