Intelligent stop/startECO STOP/START
The Stop/Start system is designed to improve
fuel efficiency and is automatically activated
when the ignition is turned on. If the vehicle is
stopped (e.g. at traffic lights or in traffic), the
engine will turn off ( unless it is required to
support other vehicle systems). When the
brake is released and a drive gear is selected,
the engine will restart automatically.
To activate an automatic engine stop:
• Stop the vehicle from a speed greater than
4 km/h (2.5 mph) and apply sufficient
brake pressure to ensure the vehicle is
stationary.
• Alternatively, whilst stationary, select P
(Park) or N (Neutral).
To activate an automatic engine restart release
the brake pedal with D (Drive) or S (Sport)
selected. The engine will also restart if one of the
following occurs:
•
The accelerator pedal is pressed.
• A shift paddle is used to select a gear.
• R (Reverse) is selected.
• Climate control system demand increases.
• The vehicle’s speed exceeds approximately
1 km/h (0.5 mph).
• Battery charge becomes low.
• Brake vacuum has be en reduced (e.g.
using the brake pedal repeatedly with the
engine off).
• Stop/Start is deactivated.
The following conditions will prevent an
automatic engine stop:
• A shift paddle has been used to select a
gear.
• The external temperature is less than
approximately 0 °C (32 °F).
• The external temperature is more than
approximately 40 °C (104 °F).
• The engine has not reached operating
temperature.
• The driver's door is opened.
• The driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
• The climate control system demand
requires the engine to be running (for
example, in Defrost mode).

OWNER MAINTENANCE
Any significant or sudden drop in fluid
levels, or uneven ty re wear, should be
reported to a qualified technician
without delay.
In addition to the routine services and
inspections, a number of simple checks must

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.

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.

CARPETS AND MATS
Marks or stains can be removed by gentle
scrubbing with a weak solution of soap and
warm water.
For more stubborn stains a commercially
available carpet cleaner should be used.
SEAT BELTS
Do not allow any water, cleaning
products, or fabric from cloths to enter
the seat belt mechanism. Any
substance which enters the
mechanism may affect the
performance of the seat belt in an
impact.
Extend the seat belts fully, then use warm
water and a non-detergent soap to clean. Allow
the seat belts to dry naturally whilst fully
extended and do not allow the belts to retract
until fully dry.
Note: Whilst cleaning the seat belt, take the
opportunity to examine the webbing for
damage and wear. Any wear or damage should
be reported to, and rectified by, a Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.
AIRBAG MODULE COVERS
Airbag covers should only be cleaned
using a slightly dampened cloth, and
a small amount of upholstery cleaner.
Any substance which enters the
mechanism, can prevent correct
deployment of an airbag during an
impact.

EVENT DATA RECORDING
Event data recorders are capable of collecting
and storing data during a crash or near-crash
event. The recorded information may assist in
the investigation of such an event. The
modules may record information about both
the vehicle and the oc cupants, potentially
including such information as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were
operating.
• Whether or not the driver and passenger
seat belts were buckled.
• How far, if at all, the driver was pressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
• How fast the vehicle was travelling.
• Where the driver was positioning the
steering wheel.
To access this information special equipment
must be connected directly to the recording
modules. Jaguar cars Li mited do not access
event data recorder information without
obtaining consent, unless pursuant to court
order or where required by law enforcement,
other government authorities or third parties
acting with lawful authority.
Other parties may seek to access the
information independent ly of Jaguar Cars
Limited.
