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.

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.

Fuel and refuelling
154
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.
