Towing
69
TowingTOWING A TRAILER
(V6 petrol and diesel vehicles only)
Never exceed the maximum weights
for the vehicle or the trailer. Damage
to the vehicle coul d occur and vehicle
stability and braking could be
adversely affected. This could lead to
loss of control and increased braking
distance, resulting in a rollover or
crash.
To preserve handling and stability,
only fit Jaguar approved towing
accessories.
Never use towing eyes or lashing
points to tow a trailer. They have not
been designed for this purpose and
doing so may cause them to fail,
resulting in injury or death.
When towing, do not exceed 100 km/h
(60 mph). If using a temporary spare
wheel, do not exceed 80 km/h (50
mph).
Note: It is the driver’s re sponsibility to ensure
that the towing vehicle, and the trailer, are
being used correctly and in accordance with
manufacturer’s reco mmendations and any
applicable legislation.
Information on towing, towing weight
capacities and regulati ons is available from
your Dealer and from the main motoring and
caravanning organisations.
The following are important points of safety,
stability and comfort. Seek further advice if
necessary.
• Maximum braked to wing weight is
permissible, provided that long periods of
uphill driving on gradients over 8% are not
undertaken. •
At altitudes above 1000 metres (3250 feet),
the stipulated maximum permitted Gross
Train Weight must be reduced by 10% for
every 1000 metres (3250 feet) in altitude,
because the thinner atmosphere can
reduce engine performance.
Diesel engines : When ambient temperature
exceeds 40°C (104°F), the engine coolant
temperature may increase above normal
operating level. If this occurs, the engine
management system will initiate a series of
actions to restore normal operating conditions,
which may include:
• A message centre message.
• Engine performance reduction.
• Air conditioning system cycling. The air
conditioning temper ature output will
fluctuate between hot and cold, in order to
dissipate engine heat. If engine overheat
persists, the air conditioning will move to
continuous heat output.
It is advisable to bring the vehicle and trailer to
a convenient stop and allo w the engine to idle
until normal temperature is restored. Do not
turn off the engine.
TRAILER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Only connect approved electrical
circuits, which are in good condition, to
the trailer socket. Connecting incorrect
or faulty circuits, may seriously damage
the vehicle’s electrical circuits.
The vehicle’s electrical system has been
designed to support all towing requirements
and comply with legal requirements for the
specific territory in which the vehicle is first
sold.
Note: The rear parking se nsors automatically
disable when the trailer electrical connection is
made using Jaguar approved towing
equipment.

TOWING WEIGHTS
Do not exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight (GVW), maximum rear axle
weight, maximum trailer weight or
nose/tongue weight. Exceeding any of
these limits could cause instability
and loss of control. See 176,
WEIGHTS.
Nose/tongue weight must be the greater of 50
kg (110 lb.) or 7% of the actual trailer weight,
up to the maximum tow hitch load.
Nose/tongue weight can be measured using a
proprietary brand of nose weight indicator.
If it is necessary to increase the nose/tongue
weight up to the maximum allowed, the vehicle
load should be reduced accordingly. This
ensures that the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)
and maximum rear axle load are not exceeded.
Note: When towing the maximum permissible,
Gross Vehicle Weight ca n be increased by a
maximum of 100 kg (220 lb.), provided that the
road speed is limited to 100 km/h (60 mph).
Note: When calculating rear axle loading,
remember that the trailer nose/tongue weight,
the load in the vehicle’s luggage compartment
and the weight of rear se at passengers must all
be added together. Towing weights - Australia only:
The
nose/tongue weight must be a minimum of
75% of gross caravan/trailer weight, up to a
maximum of 350 kg (722 lb.).
ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS
• The trailer should be parallel to the ground
when loaded and connected to the vehicle.
• When calculating the laden weight of the
trailer, remember to include the weight of
the trailer, plus the weight of the load.
• If the load can be divided between the
vehicle and the trailer, loading more weight
into the vehicle will generally improve the
stability.
• Ensure that all applic able regulations and
legislation are complied with when loading
and towing a trailer.
• Increase rear tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle to those for maximum loading
conditions.
• Ensure trailer tyre pressures are set to
trailer manufacturer’ s recommendations.
• If the vehicle is loaded to maximum Gross
Vehicle Weight (GVW), the nose weight is
limited.
• Ensure that a suitable breakaway cable or
secondary coupling is used. Refer to the
trailer manufacturer’ s instructions for
guidance.
Do not loop the breakaway cable
over the tow ball, as it may slide
off.
• Ensure that the tow ball is secure.
• Check the operation of all trailer weights.
Maximum
permissible towing weights
Unbraked trailers 750 kg (1653 lb.)
Trailers with
overrun brakes 1850 kg (4080 lb.)
Nose/Tongue
weight 75 kg (165 lb.)
