Wheels and tyres

USING WINTER TYRES
Winter tyres are more suitable during extremes
of low temperatures, snow and ice and will
considerably improve the vehicle’s handling
during these conditions.
Do not exceed 240 km/h (150 mph) when
using Jaguar approved winter tyres.
Winter tyres must be fitted to all four wheels.
Approved winter tyre sizes
Front :
• Dunlop Wintersport M3 - 235/55R17 99H,
245/45R18 96V, 245/45R18 100V,
245/40R19 98V.
• W240 Pirelli Sotto Zero - 245/45R18 100V,

Winter tyre pressures
USING SNOW CHAINS
Snow chains, of the recommended type, can
only be fitted to rear wheels. They should not
be used on temporary use spare wheels.
You should contact your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer for details and availability of approved
snow chains.
The maximum speed when using snow chains
is 50 km/h (30 mph).
Remove the snow chains immediately the
roads are clear of snow.
Ensure the fitting instructions supplied with the
snow chains are kept in a safe place, for
example, with this literature pack.
Note: When using snow chains, select
JaguarDrive Control Winter mode with DSC
switched on.
CAUTION
Tyres with an all season icon or M+S
have a level of winter performance and
need not be replaced.
Up to 240 km/h (150 mph)
Front 2.0 bar (30 lbf/in², 207 kPa)
Rear 2.3 bar (33 lbf/in², 230 kPa)
CAUTION
It is essential that only snow chains of
the recommended type are fitted, other
snow chains may cause damage to the vehicle.

Navigation system

Digitised area
Ensure that you are using the latest version of
the correct DVD for your country.
Note: Your Dealer/Authorised Repairer will
have details of how to order DVD updates.
The navigation DVD provided, contains a
digitised street map. Larger cities and
boroughs are completely covered. The regional
and unclassified roads or access roads and the
town centre for smaller towns and boroughs
are included.
One way streets, pedestrian zones, turn bans
and other traffic regula tions are taken into
account as far as pos sible. There may be
discrepancies between the data on the
navigation DVD and the actual local situation,
due to temporary or permanent changes to
road systems and their traffic regulations.
If the vehicle battery ha s been disconnected, or
if the vehicle has been transported to a new
location on another vehicle (e.g. by trailer or
train), the navigation system may require
several minutes to iden tify the new position.
Errors in vehicle position
Under certain driving condi tions, it is possible
that the vehicle pos ition shown may be
incorrect. Some examples are shown below:
• Negotiating circular ramps in car parks.
• Elevated roads in proximity to other roads.
• Where two roads run parallel to each other.
• Driving on steep roads.
• When the vehicle is transported by ferry or
train.
• After the tyres have been replaced.
• When using snow chains.
• After the vehicle has been rotated on a
turntable.
• After vehicle battery removal or supply
fuse failure.
Reception of GPS signals
GPS signals are high ly directional and
reception may occasiona lly be interrupted.
Some examples of situations likely to cause
problems are shown below:
• Inside buildings
• Forest roads between mountains
• Between tall buildings
• Roads under cliffs.
The vehicle’s direction and speed sensors will
minimise any adverse effect on the operation of
the navigation system, if this should occur.
Normal operation will resume once the
obstruction has been passed.
