Do not allow the vehicle to remain
stationary with a drive gear selected and
the engine running . Always select P or
N if the engine is to idle for a prolonged
period.
ROTARY GEAR SELECTOR
The JaguarDrive selector elevates out of the
centre console when the engine is started, in
readiness for gear selection
P should be selected before switching off the
engine. However, it is possible to switch the
engine off with R, D or S selected - the selector
will automatica lly select P, while retracting into
the centre console.
Note: If the engine is switched off with N
selected, the system will wait for 10 minutes
before selecting P. This procedure is to allow
the vehicle to be conveyed through a car wash
only and should not be used for vehicle
recovery purposes.
In the event of a vehicle breakdown, the
transmission will automatically select P. This
prevents the vehicle from being towed on all
four wheels. Therefore, vehicle recovery
should only be undertaken by suitably qualified
personnel.
IF THE SELECTOR FAILS TO ELEVATE
If the JaguarDrive selector is obstructed
remove the obstruction and then start the
engine. The selector s hould elevate as normal.
If the selector still fails to elevate, even if there
is no obstruction, a faul t in the system is
indicated. The selector ca n still be used in the
lowered position, but be aware that it will not
automatically select P when the engine is
switched off. P should be selected manually.
The fault should be re ctified by a Dealer/
Authorised Repairer at the earliest opportunity.
MANUAL GEAR SELECTION
When the gear selector is in the D position,
manual mode may be directly accessed by the
single action of operating the steering wheel
mounted shift paddles.
If continued use of manua l mode is required,
the gear selector may be subsequently moved
to the S position to enter permanent manual
mode.
If the gear selector remains in the D position,
temporary manual mode will be held whilst the
driver is accelerating, decelerating, cornering
or continuing to request shifts via the paddles.
LIMP-HOME MODE
Note: The driver should be aware that the
vehicle’s performance will be reduced and
must take this into account when driving. Also
the use of the Jaguar Sequential Shift paddles
will be disabled. In this event, seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
In the event of an electrical or mechanical
failure, transmission ope ration will be limited.
P , R , N , D and S may still be used to enable the
vehicle to be driven to a safe area.
Some faults will cause the selector to be locked
in position until the ignition is switched off. If
the selected range flashes, it signifies that the
driver request cannot be engaged. Re-select N
and repeat the attempt.
If the transmission is st ill unable to select the
requested gear, contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.

Tyre repair kit
149
USING THE TYRE REPAIR KIT
Avoid skin contact with the sealant
which contains natural rubber latex.
If the tyre inflation pressure does not
reach 1.8 bar (26 psi, 180 kPa) within
seven minutes, the tyre may have
suffered excessive damage. A
temporary repair will not be possible,
and the vehicle should not be driven
until the tyre has been replaced.
Before attempting a tyre repair, ensure
that the vehicle is parked safely, as far
away from passing traffic as possible.
Ensure that the parking brake is applied
and P (Park) is selected.
Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects such as nails, screws, etc. from
the tyre.
Always run the engine when using the
compressor, unless the vehicle is in an
enclosed or poorly ventilated space, as
this may cause asphyxiation.
To prevent overheatin g, do not operate
the compressor continuously for longer
than ten minutes.
Note: All vehicle drivers and occupants should
be made aware that a temporary repair has
been made to a tyre fitt ed to the vehicle. They
should also be made aware of the special
driving conditions im posed when using a
repaired tyre.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
Check the tyre sidewall prior to
inflation. If there are any cracks,
bumps or similar damage, do not
attempt to inflate the tyre. Do not
stand directly besi de the tyre while
the compressor is pumping. Watch the
tyre sidewall. If any cracks, bumps or
similar damage appear, turn off the
compressor and let the air out by
means of the pressure relief valve. Do
not continue to use the tyre.
1. Open the tyre repair kit and peel off the
maximum speed label. Attach the label to
the facia in the driver's field of vision. Take
care not to obstruct an y of the instruments
or warning lights.
2. Uncoil the compressor power cable and
the inflation hose.
3. Unscrew the orange cap from the sealant
bottle receiver and the sealant bottle cap.
4. Screw the sealant bottle into the receiver
(clockwise) until tight.
•Screwing the bottle onto the receiver
will pierce the bottle's seal. Once the
receiver has been fitted, a ratchet
prevents it from being removed.
5. Remove the valve cap from the damaged
tyre.
6. Remove the protective cap from the
inflation hose and connect the inflation
hose to the tyre valve. Ensure that the hose
is screwed on firmly.
7. Ensure that the compressor switch is in the
off ( 0) position.
8. Insert the power cable connector into the
auxiliary power socket.
9. Unless the vehicle is in an enclosed area,
start the engine.

10. Set the compressor switch to the on ( I)
position.
11. Inflate the tyre to a minimum of 1.9 bar
(26 psi) and a maximum of 3.5 bar
(51 psi).
•When pumping the sealant through the
tyre valve, the pressure may rise up to
6 bar (87 psi). The pressure will drop
again after approx imately 30 seconds.
12. During the inflation, switch the
compressor off briefly, to check the tyre
pressure using the gauge mounted on the
compressor.
•It should not take longer than 7
minutes to inflate the tyre. If, after 7
minutes, the tyre ha s not yet reached
minimum pressure, the tyre should not
be used.
13. Once the tyre has been inflated, switch off
the compressor. If desired, the engine may
be turned off after the compressor has
been turned off.
14. Remove the power connector from the
auxiliary power socket.
15. Remove the inflation hose from the tyre
valve, by unscrewing it as quickly as
possible (anticlockwise).
16. Replace the inflation hose protective cap
and the tyre valve cap.
17. Ensure that the tyre repair kit (including the
bottle and receiver caps) are placed
securely in the vehicle. You will need to use
the kit to check the tyre pressure after
approximately 3 km (2 miles), so ensure
they are easily accessible.
18. Immediately drive the vehicle for
approximately 3 km (2 miles), to allow the
sealant to coat the inner surface of the tyre
and form a seal at the puncture.CHECKING THE TYRE PRESSURE
AFTER A REPAIR
When driving the vehicle, if you
experience vibrations, abnormal
steering, or noises, reduce speed
immediately. Drive with extreme
caution and reduced speed, to the first
safe place to stop the vehicle. Visually
examine the tyre and check its
pressure. If there are any signs of
damage or deformity to the tyre, or the
tyre pressure is below 1.3 bar (19
psi), do not continue driving.
Consult a tyre repair centre or your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer, for
advice concerning the replacement of
a tyre after using a tyre repair kit.
1. Drive the vehicle for 3 km (2 miles) then
stop in a safe place. Carry out a visual
examination of the tyre’s condition.
2. Make sure that the sealant container
section is in its original position.
3. Screw the inflation hos e connector firmly
onto the tyre valve.
4. Read the tyre pressure from the gauge.
5. If the pressure of the sealant filled tyre is
above 1.3 bar (19 psi) adjust the pressure
to the correct value.
6. Ensure that the compressor switch is in the
Off ( O) position and insert the power cable
connector into the au xiliary power socket.
If the vehicle is in a well ventilated area,
start the engine.
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.

Fuel and refuelling
153
METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER
(MTBE)
Unleaded fuel containing an oxygenate known
as MTBE can be used prov ided that the ratio of
MTBE to conventional fuel does not exceed
15%. MTBE is an Ether based compound
derived from Petroleum, which has been
specified by several refiners as the substance
to enhance the Octane rating of fuel.
DIESEL ENGINED VEHICLES
Do not use RME (bio-diesel) except in
the case of those proprietary diesel
fuels which contain a mix of up to 5%.
Jaguar can accept no responsibility for
damage caused by using RME in
concentrations greater than 5%.
Use only high quality diesel fuel according to
EN590 or equivalent.
The quality of diesel fu el is variable, depending
on geographic location. Always use premium
or the highest quality fuel available in your
locality. High quality fuel ensures a longer life
for your engine components. Lower grade fuel
contains higher levels of sulphur, which is
detrimental to engine components. If low
quality fuel is used, li ght coloured smoke may
be evident at the exhaust.
Note: Jaguar vehicles ar e capable of running
with up to a 5% blend of bio-diesel, in
accordance with European Standard EN590.
Prolonged use of additives is not
recommended. Do not add paraffin or petrol to
diesel fuels.
If you inadvertently fill your vehicle with
petrol instead of di esel, do not attempt
to start the engine. Contact your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer immediately. Jaguar cars can accept no
responsibility for any damage caused
by running your vehicle with petrol or
vegetable oil in the fuel tank.
SULPHUR CONTENT
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.
In some countries diesel may contain higher
levels 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
Avoid running out of fuel!
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
should be left with the ignition on for 5 minutes
after refuelling before attempting to restart the
engine.
Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel,
seeking qualified assistance is advisable.
WATER IN FUEL
If the warning WATER IN FUEL is
displayed in the message centre, an
excessive amount of water has
collected in the fuel filter bowl. Seek
assistance from a Jaguar Dealer/
Authorised Repairer to have the filter
drained as soon as possible.

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 appr oximately 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 illuminates, the fuel tank
should be refuelled as s oon as possible at the
next filling station, 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 STAR T/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 repeating the procedure from the
beginning.
Do not crank the engine for longer than
30 seconds continuously.
FUEL FILLER FLAP
Take note of all warnings and
instruction given on the label affixed
to the inside of the filler flap.
The vehicle must be unl ocked using the Smart
Key, before the filler flap can be opened.
1. Press and release the rear of the flap (in the
area indicated) to unlatch.
2. Pull the flap open. The label on the inside of
the flap indicates the correct fuel for the
vehicle.
3. Twist the cap anticlockwise to undo.
4. Stow the cap on the lip provided on the top
of the hinge arm, as shown.
When replacing the cap, turn it clockwise until
the ratchet clicks. Failure to do so may cause
the Engine malfunction warning lamp to
illuminate. If the warning lamp illuminates,
ensure the cap is fitted properly.

To close the filler flap, push the flap until
latched closed.
Note: The filler flap will only be locked closed
when the vehicle is centrally locked.
FUEL FILLER
When refuelling ensure that all
windows, doors, and sunroof are fully
closed, particularly if young children
or animals are in the vehicle.
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 am bient temperature,
expansion of the fuel could cause
spillage.
Check the fuel pump information
carefully, to ensure that you are putting
the correct fuel into the vehicle.
If the vehicle is filled with incorrect fuel,
it is essential that you seek qualified
assistance before you start the engine.
Fuel station pumps are equipped with
automatic cut-off sensing, to avoid fuel
spillage. Fill the tank until the filler nozzle
automatically cuts off the supply. Do not
attempt to fill the tank beyond this point.
Note: 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.
DIESEL MISFUELLING PROTECTION
DEVICE
When the misfuelling device is
activated it may cause fuel to be
discharged from the filler neck.
If the narrow filler nozzl e fitted to pumps
delivering unleaded petrol is fully inserted into
the filler neck the misfue l protection device will
activate.
Note: The spout on some fuel cans and older
fuel pumps may trigger the misfuelling device.
When activated, the ye llow protection device
will be visible inside the filler neck. It will
prevent fuel flow into the tank. Before fuelling
can continue with the correct fuel the device
will need to be reset.
The reset tool is stored in the luggage
compartment clipped onto the battery retaining
bar.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures shown below have been calculated using a standard testing
procedure (the new EC test proc edure from Directive 99/100/EC), and produced in accordance with
The Passenger Car Fuel Cons umption (Amendment) Order 1996.
Under normal use, a vehicle's actu al fuel consumption figures may differ from those achieved
through the test procedure, de pending on driving technique, ro ad and traffic conditions,
environmental factors, ve hicle load and condition.
URBAN CYCLE
The urban test cycle is carried out from a cold start and cons ists of a series of accelerations,
decelerations and periods of stea dy speed driving and engine idling. The maximum speed attained
during the test is 50 km/h (30 mph) with an average speed of 19 km/h (12 mph).
EXTRA-URBAN CYCLE
The extra-urban test cycle is carried out immediatel y after the urban test. Approximately half of the
test comprises steady-speed driving, while the re mainder consists of a series of accelerations,
decelerations and engine idling . The maximum test speed is 120 km/h (75 mph) and the average
speed 63 km/h (39 mph). The test is carried out over a distance of 7 km (4.3 miles).
COMBINED
The combined figure is an average of the urban an d extra-urban test cycle results, which has been
weighted to take account of the differ ent distances covered during the two tests.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
Diesel vehicles equipped with a particle filter
have more efficient emission control. The
particles in the exhaust gases are collected in
the filter during normal driving.
When a DPF message is displayed, the filter
requires a regeneration cy cle to clean itself.
This requires the engine to have reached
normal operating temp erature. Regeneration
takes place automatically at an interval of
approximately 300-900 km (190-560 miles)
depending on driving c onditions. Regeneration
normally takes 10-20 minutes and is
automatically requested by the engine control
module if the vehicle is driven steadily at
vehicle speeds between 40mph to 70mph. It is
possible that the rege neration process will
occur at lower vehicle speeds, but the events
may take a little longer at a 50 km/h (30mph)
average speed.
DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES OR IN
COLD WEATHER
If the vehicle is fre quently driven short
distances or in cold weather conditions then
the engine may not re ach normal operating
temperature. This means that regeneration of
the diesel particle filter does not take place and
the filter is not efficiently cleaned. When the
filter reaches a condition when a filter
regeneration is approp riate and the current
drive style is not appropriate, a warning
triangle on the instrument panel illuminates,
and the message DPF Full. See manual is
displayed on the instrument panel. This is not
indicating a fault conditi on with the vehicle and
no dealership support should be required. Start
regeneration of the filter by driving the vehicle,
preferably on a main road or motorway. The
vehicle should then be driven for approximately
20 minutes or more. When regeneration is complete the warning
text is cleared automatically.
Note:
A small increase in fuel consumption
may be noticed temporarily during
regeneration.
ARDUOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS
When a vehicle is operated in severe or
arduous conditions, more frequent attention
must be paid to servic ing requirements. Refer
to your Service Portfolio for details or contact
your Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice.
SAFETY IN THE GARAGE
If the vehicle has been driven
recently, do not touch exhaust and
cooling system co mponents until the
engine has cooled.
Never leave the engine running in an
unventilated area.
Do not work beneath the vehicle with a
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 engine 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.
