Maintenance

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.

Tyres
186
PUNCTURED TYRES
Do not drive the vehicle with a
punctured tyre. Even if the punctured
tyre has not deflated, it is unsafe to
use, as the tyre may deflate suddenly
at any time.
REPLACEMENT TYRES
Always fit replacement tyres of the
same type, and wherever possible of
the same make and tread pattern.
If the use of tyres not recommended by
Jaguar is unavoidable, ensure that
you read, and fully comply with, the
tyre manufacturer’s instructions.
Ideally, tyres should be re placed in sets of four.
If this is not possible, replace the tyres in pairs
(both front or both rear). When tyres are
replaced, the wheels should always be
re-balanced and alignment checked.
The correct tyre specification for your vehicle
can be found on the ty re placard label.
PRESSURE COMPENSATION FOR
TEMPERATURE CHANGES
A colder ambient local temperature will reduce
pressure within the tyre. An effect is to
decrease sidewall height and to increase tyre
shoulder wear with the potential for tyre failure.
Vehicle dynamics could also be adversely
affected.
Tyre pressures can be adjusted to compensate
before the start of the journey. Alternatively,
tyre pressures can be adjusted when the area
of lower ambient temperature is reached.
In this situation, the vehicle must be left in the
ambient local temperature for at least one hour
before tyre pressure is adjusted. To compensate for colder ambient
temperatures, tyre pressures should be
increased by 0.14 bar (2 psi, 14 kPa) for each
10°C (20°F) decrease.
Note:
Ensure that correct tyre pressures are
maintained when moving to areas of differing
ambient temperature.
AVOIDING FLAT SPOTS
In order to minimise fl at spotting, the tyre
pressures can be increased to the maximum as
stated on the tyre sidewall, for the period when
the vehicle is stationary. Tyres must be
returned to the specified running pressures
before driving.
TYRE DEGRADATION
Tyres degrade over time due to the effects of
ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high
loads, and environmen tal conditions. It is
recommended that tyres are replaced at least
every six years, but they may require
replacement more frequently.
USING WINTER TYRES
Do not exceed 240 km/h (150 mph) when
using Jaguar approv ed winter tyres.
Winter tyres must be fitted to all four wheels.
Note: Tyres with an all season icon or M+S
have a level of winter performance and need
not be replaced.
