Navigation systemTHE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Navigation instruction is by map and turn
information displayed on the touch screen and
can be complemented by voice guidance if
required. The system uses signals from Global
Positioning System (GPS) satellites combined
with information from vehicle sensors and
from data stored on the hard drive, to establish
the true vehicle position.
Note: Mapping data loaded on the hard drive is
relevant to the market in which the vehicle is
first sold and will provide guidance and
information only for that area. Your local Dealer
will have details of software updates.
Using this combination of data sources the
vehicle navigation com puter enables you to
plan and follow a route map to your desired
destination.
The touch screen is used to control navigation
via menus, text screens and map displays.
Operate the system only when it is
safe to do so.
The requirements of na tional Road Traffic
Regulations always apply.
Observation of traffic signs and local traffic
regulations always take priority.
The navigation system serves solely as an aid
to navigation. In part icular, the navigation
system cannot be used as an aid to orientation
when visibility is poor.
GPS signals may occasion ally be interrupted
due to physical barriers such as tunnels and
roads under raised highways.
However, direction and speed sensors on the
vehicle will minimise any adverse effect on the
navigation system. Normal operation will
resume once the obstruc tion has been passed. Under certain conditions it is possible for the
vehicle position show
n on screen to be
incorrect. This may happen when:
• Driving on a spiral ramp in a building.
• Driving on or beneath elevated roads.
• Two roads are close and parallel.
• The vehicle is transported to another
destination.
• After the vehicle is rotated on a turntable.
• After vehicle batte ry disconnection.
USING THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
1. NAV shortcut button.
2. Navigation soft key.
From the Home menu touch the Navigation
soft key. Alternatively, press the NAV shortcut
button on the facia. A caution screen will be
displayed.
If the navigation screen language has not been
set, now is the time to set it. Select Language,
make a selection and confirm it by touching the
OK soft key. You will be returned to the
CAUTION screen.
After touching the Agree soft key, the touch
screen will display the Nav menu (which is the
navigation system Ma in menu and covered
over two screens) or the screen that was in use
when you last switched off the system.

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 refuellingSAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Avoid exposing the f uel gasses to any
potential sources of ignition as the
resulting fire and explosion may
cause serious injuries and/or death.
Switch off the engine when refuelling,
as it is both a source of extreme
temperatures, and electrical sparks.
Switch off any personal electronic
devices such as mobile phones, or
music players.
PETROL ENGINED VEHICLES
Do not use leaded fuels, lead
substitutes or fuel additives.
Fuel system cleaning agents should not
be used, unless a pproved by Jaguar.
OCTANE RATING
The minimum octane rating for fuel used is 95
RON (Research Octane Number). The vehicle
will run on lower ratings, but it may cause
pronounced engine knock or pinking. If the
pinking is severe it ca n cause damage to the
engine, fuel and emis sion control systems.
Note: Occasional, light, engine knock
experienced while accele rating or climbing hills
is acceptable.
Super Green Plus 98 RON unleaded fuel (where
available) may be used as an alternative to the
standard 95 RON unleaded fuel.
Some countries have only 91 RON fuel
available. Vehicles sold in these countries are
specially calibrated to use this fuel.
ETHANOL
This vehicle is not suitable for use with
fuels containing more than 10%
ethanol.
Do not use E85 fuels (85% ethanol
content). Equipment necessary for the
use of fuels containing more than 10%
ethanol is not fitted to this vehicle. If
E85 fuels are used, serious engine and
fuel system damage will occur.
Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol (grain
alcohol) may be used. Ensure that the fuel has
octane ratings no lower than those
recommended for unleaded fuel. Most drivers
will not notice any opera ting difference with
fuel containing ethanol. If a difference is
detected, the use of co nventional unleaded fuel
should be resumed.
METHANOL
Wherever possible avoid using fuel
containing methanol.
Some fuels contain methanol (Methyl or wood
alcohol). If you use fuels containing methanol
the fuels must also contain co-solvents and
corrosion inhibitors fo r methanol. Also, do not
use fuels which contain more than 10%
methanol even if they contain co-solvents and
corrosion inhibitors. Fu el system damage or
vehicle performance pr oblems resulting from
the use of such fuels is not the responsibility of
Jaguar, and may not be covered under the
warranty.

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.

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.
