RUN FLAT TYRES
Run-flat tyres can be identified by the lettering
RSC on the sidewall. The tyre construction
utilises a specially reinforced sidewall, which
allows the vehicle to be driven at restricted
speeds, even when the tyre is depressurised.
Run-flat tyres can only be fitted to special rims,
constructed for ru n-flat tyre use.
A tyre pressure monitoring system is
mandatory when the vehicle is fitted with
run-flat tyres. See TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM (page 234).
If the tyre has deflated, the vehicle should be
driven with caution, as handling characteristics
will be different compared to a fully inflated
tyre.
If the vehicle is fully la den with passengers and
luggage, the maximum di stance that can be
completed on a fully deflated tyre, is
approximately 80 kilo metres (50 miles).
Stop immediately if the tyre construction
begins to break down or if the tyre dislodges
from the wheel rim. Typi cally, this will be
accompanied by excessive vibration.
A tyre driven in a defl ated condition must be
replaced as s oon as possible. Vehicles fitted with run-flat tyres are not fitted
with a spare wheel or jacking equipment.
Therefore, run-flat tyre
s should be replaced
with the same type of tyre.
TOOL KIT
Tool kit contents
1. Jack.
2. Wheel brace.
3. Chock.
4. Locking wheel nut adaptor.
5. Towing eye.
Note: When returning the tool kit to its stowage
position, hook the T-bar of the clamp over the
jack handle, to se cure in position.
Note: The jack requi res occasional
maintenance. Examine the jack for wear,
damage or corrosion and lubricate the moving
parts.
WARNING
If a run-flat tyre is deflated, maximum
vehicle speed must not exceed
80 km/h (50 mph).
E91708
WARNING
After use, the tool kit should be
returned to the under floor storage
area and correctly stowed. Do not

Locking wheel nuts
Vehicles may be equipped with a locking wheel
nut on each wheel. These are similar to
standard wheel nuts, and can only be removed
using the special adaptor provided with the
jacking equipment.
1. Insert the adaptor firmly onto the locking
wheel nut.
2. Using the wheel brace, unscrew the wheel
nut and adaptor.
3. Return the locking wheel nut adaptor to the
correct storage position.
Note: A code number is stam ped on the side of
the locking nut. Ensure the number is recorded
on the Security Card supplied with the
literature pack. Quot e this number if a
replacement is require d. Do not keep the
Security Card in the vehicle.
Spare wheel location
The spare wheel and jacking tools are stored
under the luggage compartment floor panel.
To remove the spare wheel: Raise the luggage
compartment floor panel, hooking the strap
over the upper boot seal as illustrated.
Unscrew the Tee bolt, re leasing the retaining
clamp and hook.
Remove the tool tray from the spare wheel and
remove the spare wheel from the luggage
compartment.
Remove the jack and wheel nut wrench from
the tray.
Note: When refitting the Tee bolt, ensure that
the retaining hook ( 1) fits over the jack handle,
as illustrated.
If the vehicle is fitted with Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System (TPM
System). See
TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM (page 234).
DSC must be on when the temporary
use spare wheel is in use.

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.

Tyre pressure warning with speed
If the vehicle is to be driven at speeds in excess
of 160 km/h (100 mph), the tyre pressures
should be increased as stated in this handbook
or on the placard label. Failure to increase the
tyre pressures and driving in excess of
160 km/h (100 mph), will illuminate the yellow
warning telltale and display a text message
TYRE PRESSURES LOW FOR SPEED . In the
event of this warning be ing displayed, vehicle
speed should be reduced
Temporary use spare wheel and tyre
change
If the temporary use spare wheel is fitted the
system will automatically recognise the change
in wheel positions. The n after approximately
ten minutes of driv ing above 25 km/h
(18 mph), a message TYRE NOT MONITORED
will be displayed accompanied by illumination
of the warning telltale and the corresponding
block in the vehicle graphic.
The warning telltale will initially flash and will
subsequently revert to continuous illumination.
Extended use of the temporary use spare wheel
will produce an additional text message TYRE
PRESSURE SYSTEM FAULT .
This TPM system display sequence will be
activated at every ignition cycle until the
temporary use spare wheel is replaced by a
fully operational full size wheel and tyre
assembly.
Always replace the temporary use wheel before
having TPM system faults investigated. The
fault may well be rectified with the fitment of a
fully operational full size running tyre in lieu of
the temporary use spare wheel assembly.
Tyre changing
Always have your tyres serviced or changed by
a qualified engineer.
Care must be taken to avoid contact between
the bead of the tyre and the sensor during
removal and refitting of the tyre, otherwise the
sensor may become damaged and or
inoperable.
Sensors can be removed from the wheel by the
unscrewing of the va lve retention nut.
Replacement sensor
Should the sensor require replacing, it should
be carried out by a Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
A replacement sensor must be fitted to a
running wheel in order to be recognised by the
system. The vehicle needs to be stationary for
15 minutes during the se nsor fitment before
the system is ready to detect the new sensor.
The vehicle must be driven for a minimum of
fifteen minutes after the sensor change, and
then remain stationary for fifteen minutes to
activate full TPM system operation.
If the TPM system warning for any wheel does
not clear, even after ensuring correct inflation
and driving for more than ten minutes above
25 km/h (18 mph), you should seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Valve stem seal, washer, nut, valve core
and cap should be replaced at every tyre
change. Valve stem seal, washer and nut must
be replaced if valve re tention nut is loosened.
Sensor units and nuts must be refitted using
correct torque figures and associated profile.
Damage to the vehicle may result if these
precautions are not taken.
