LEATHER
To prevent ingrained dirt and staining, inspect
the seat upholstery regularly and clean every
one to two months, as follows:
• Wipe off fine dust from the seat surfaces
using a clean, damp, non-coloured cloth.
Change frequently to a clean area of cloth,
to avoid abrasive action on the leather
surface. Avoid over-wetting.
• If this is not sufficient, use a cloth which
has been dampened with warm soapy
water and then wrun g out. Use only mild
non-caustic soap.
• Use Jaguar Leather Cleaner for heavily
soiled areas. Dry off and rub with a clean
soft cloth, changing surfaces regularly.
Use Jaguar Leather Cleaner several times a
year to maintain its appearance and
suppleness. The clea ner will nourish and
moisturise and help to improve the surface
protective film agains t dust and substances.
• Do not use solvents. Do not use
detergents, furniture polish or household
cleaners. While these products may
initially give impressive results, their use
will lead to rapid deterioration of the leather
and will invalidate the warranty. Jaguar
recommend a basic se t of products that
have been specially selected for the type of
leather in your vehicle.
• Dark clothing may stain leather seats just
like other upholstery products.
• Sharp objects such as belts, zip fasteners,
rivets, etc., can leave permanent scratches
and scratch marks on the leather surface.
• Unless spillages such as tea, coffee or ink
are washed away immediately, permanent
staining may have to be accepted.
If a valet service is used, ensure that the
specialist concer ned is aware of, and follows,
these instructions precisely.
CLEANING FABRIC UPHOLSTERY
Never use soap, ammonia, bleach or
other cleaners inte nded for use on hard
surfaces.
Do not use upholstery cleaner on
electrical equipment such as facia
switches.
When cleaning around electrical
equipment such as switches, ensure
that fluids do not leak into any gaps
around the components or between
panels or trim.
Use Jaguar Upholstery Cleaner, following the
instructions. Avoid over-wetting.
REMOVING STAINS
Most stains on woollen fabric can be removed
if treatment is carried out immediately, before
the stain has a chance to dry-in.
Most stains can be treated with one of three
cleaning fluids: Jaguar U pholstery Cleaner, dry
cleaning fluid or clean water. Follow the
instructions on the package.
INSTRUMENT PANEL, CLOCK AND
AUDIO EQUIPMENT
Only use a soft dry cloth to clean the
instrument panel, cloc k and audio equipment.
Do not use cleaning fluids or sprays.
TOUCH SCREEN
Do not use abrasive cleaners on the
touch screen. For approved cleaning
products, contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.

Fluid level checksCHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check the engine oil weekly. If any
significant or sudden drop in oil level is
noted, seek qualified assistance.
If the message ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
LOW is displayed, stop the engine as
soon as it is safe to do so and seek
qualified assistance. Do not start the
engine until the cause has been
rectified.
Prior to checking the oil level ensure that the
vehicle is on level ground.
All except V6 petrol engines
Ensure that:
• The engine oil has reached working
temperature (oil is hot).
• The engine has been switched off for ten
minutes, as the syst em will not give an
accurate reading until the oil level has
stabilised.
The oil level can then be checked as follows:
1. Switch on the ignition (do not start the
engine).
2. Ensure Park (P ) is selected.
3. Press the trip button (on the end of the
lighting control stalk) repeatedly until the
oil can icon, along with the current oil level
status and topping-up ad vice is displayed
in the message centre, as follows. A.
Oil level at recommended level. No top-up
required.
B. Add 0.5 litres (0.9 pints) of oil.
C. Add 1 litre (1.8 pints) of oil.
D. Oil level above maximum for safe
operation. Do not drive the vehicle. Seek
qualified assistance.
E. Oil level below mi nimum for safe
operation. Add 1.5 litres (2.6 pints) of oil,
then recheck the level.
F. Oil level stabilising, oil level not available.
Wait 10 minutes, then recheck the oil level
display.
If this display is accompanied by the
warning message ENGINE OIL LEVEL
MONITOR SYSTEM FAULT , seek qualified
assistance.

Fluid level checks

V6 petrol engines
Note: If it is necessary to check the oil level
when the engine is hot, switch off the engine
and let stand for five minutes to allow the oil to
drain into the sump. Do not start the engine.
1. Withdraw the dipstick and wipe the blade
clean with a lint free cloth.
2. Fully re-insert the dipstick and withdraw
again to check the oil level. Never allow the
oil level to fall below the lower mark or
notch on the dipstick.
As a general guide, if the level on the
dipstick:
•Is nearer to the upper mark or notch
than the lower, add no oil.
• Is nearer to the lower mark or notch
than the upper, add half a litre (one
pint) of oil.
• Is below the lower mark or notch, add
one litre (two pints) of oil and re-check
the level after a further five minutes.ENGINE OIL SPECIFICATION
Low quality or obsolete oils do not
provide the protection required by
modern, high perfor mance engines.
Failure to use an oil that meets the
required specification could cause
excessive engine wear, a build up of
sludge and deposit s and increased
pollution. It could also lead to engine
failure.
Your vehicle’s warranty may be
invalidated if damage is caused by the
use of unapproved engine oil.
Do not use oil additives of any type as
engine damage could occur. Use only
specified lubricants.

Jaguar recommends:
TOPPING UP THE OIL
Overfilling with oil could result in severe
engine damage.
1. Unscrew the oil filler cap.
2. Add oil as indicated by the message centre
display.
3. Wait five minutes fo r the oil level to
stabilise then re-check.
It is essential to use the correct specification
oil, and to ensure it is suitable for the climatic
conditions in which the vehicle is to be
operated.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
A certain amount of oil consumption is normal.
The rate of consumpt ion will depend on the
following:
• The quality and viscosity of the oil.
• Climatic conditions.
• The speed at which the engine is being
operated.
• Road conditions.
Drivers should expect above normal
consumption when the engi ne is new, and after
running-in if high speeds are sustained.
CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVEL
Running the engine without coolant will
cause serious engine damage.
If persistent coolant loss is noticed,
seek qualified assistance immediately.
The coolant level in the expansion tank should
be checked at least weekly (more frequently in
high mileage or severe operating conditions).
Always check the level when the system is
cold.
Ensure the coolant level is maintained between
the level indicator marks, as shown in the
illustrations.
