Fuel Tank Filling
A WARNING :
1. Fuel vapour is highly flammable and in confined spaces is
explosive and toxic. In the event of inadvertent spillage,
and before refuelling, always switch OFF the engine. Do
not use exposed flame or light. Do not smoke. Do not
inhale fumes.
2. Do not fill the tank so that fuel is visible in the fuel filler
intake tube. This could ca use spillage and danger from
exposed fuel.
Caution: Take care to not spill gasoline du ring refuelling.
Gasoline containing alcohol can cause paint damage, which
may not be covered under the warranty.
Fuel Requirem ents
Use only Premium Unleaded Gasoline with a minimum Anti Knock
Index (AKI) of 91.
Fu el Quality
The use of high quali ty fuel con taining 'intake system deposi t
control" detergent and other additives will help to keep the
vehicle's intake system free of deposits and its fuel system free of
corros ion and gumming.
If high quality fue ls contain ing 'in take syst em deposit contro l'
detergent and other additives are used continuously, there should
be no need to add any afte rma rket products to the fuel tank.
62
If problems are experienced w ith starting, rough idling or
hesitation whe n the engine is cold, it m ay be caused by gasoline
wi th a low volatility. Try a different grade and/or brand of fuel. If
the condition persists, see the Jaguar Dealer or a qualified service
technician.
Oxygenated Gasolines
Fuel s that are blended with compounds conta ining oxygen. ca lled
oxygenates, may be used. Common oxygenates are ethanol or
grain alcohol (blended at no more than 1O%!. methanol or wood
alcohol (blended at no more than 5% with necessary cosolvent s
and additives!. and MTBE or methyl tertiary butyl ether (blended at
no more than 15%). The type o f oxygenate may be found on the
fuel pump or by asking the attendant. In certain areas of the
country, oxygenates are requ ired to be in all fuels to help improve
air quality.
Generally, difficulty should not be experienced whi le operating the
vehicle on fuels containing oxygenates . If problems are
experienced. switch to a fuel with a different type of oxygenate. or
switch to a fuel t hat does not conta in oxygenates, if available.
Reformulated Gasolines
Several petroleum compan ies have announced the availability of
reformu late d fuels. These fuels are specially designed to further
reduce vehic le emissions.
Jag uar fully supports all efforts to protect and maintain ambient air
quality, and encourages the use of reformulated gasol ines, where
available.

Restraint Systems - S eat Belts and Airbags
This vehicle has lap/shoulder inertia ree l seat belts and an airbag
supplementary restraint system for the driver and front passenger
seats. The rear seat has lap/shoulder inertia ree l seat belts.
The use of fron t and rear seat belts is mandatory in most
coun tries .
Using seat belts saves lives. They should be worn by all
occupants whenever the v ehicle is in use, fo r maximum
protection.
Seat Belts
The inertia operating mechanism of the seat belts allow the
wearers to move thei r upper bodies to reach various controls. The
seat belts w ill lock automatically with accelerated body
movemen t or in the event of emergency braking.
The only adju stment requi red is for shoulder height (see page 64).
Correct tens ion is controlled by automatic retraction of the ree l.
A warning light on the instrument panel comes on and an audible
warning sounds for six seconds when the driver's seat belt is not
fastened.
The use of comfort cl ips or devices that wou ld create slackness in
the seat bel t system are not recommended.
PRE- DRIVING
& WARNING:
,. Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure
of the body, and must be worn low across the front of the
pelvis, chest and shoulder. Wearing the lap section of the
belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.
2. Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as possible,
consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for
which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly
reduce the protection afforded to the wearer.
3. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the
webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried
out using mild soap and water. The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or
damaged.
4. It is essential to replace the entire assembly after it has
been worn in a severe impact even if damage to the

Child Safety
& WARNING:
Child seats and passenger airbag:
Children of 12 years old and under can be killed or seriously
injured by the airbag. The rear seat is the safest place for
children.
DO NOT install a rearward -facing child seat in the front
passenger seat position. This is emphasised by the label

In many States and countries legislation governs how and where
ch ildren should be carried when travelling in a vehicle. It is the
responsibility of the driver to comply with all regu lations in force in
the country where the vehicle is being used .
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rea r seating posit ions than in the front seating
position. Jag uar strongly recommends that at all times. chi ldren
are carried in the rear seating positions .

Child Safety (continued)
Holding a baby or child in a person's arms is not a substitute for a
ch ild rest raint sys tem.
In an accident a baby or child held in a person's arms can be
crushed between t he vehicle's interior and a rest rained person.
The child can also be injured by hitting the interior or by being
thrown from the vehicle during a sudden manoeuvre or impact.
Injury can also be caused if the baby or chi ld is allowed to ride on
the seat unrestrained. Other occupants should also be properly
restrained to help reduce the chance of injuring the chi ld.
Do not allow children to stand in the space between the front
seats or on the rear sea ts.
Front and Rear Passenger Seat Belt - Static Reel (Child
Seat) Mode
The passenger seat bel ts have two operatin g modes:
1. Inertia reel mode - for adult passengers .
2. Static reel mode - for children in child seats.
The static reel mode prevents belt payout and thereby does not
allow the occupant freedom of torso movemen t. When the seat
belt is attached to a child seat wh ich has its own independent
harness, the static mode must be used. For child seats that do not
have their own independent harness, refer to the manufacturer's
instructions.
The seat belt defaul ts to the inertia reel rnode w hen in the stowed
(fully retracted) position.

To activate the stat ic reel (ch ild seat) m ode: Payout the belt to
its full extension to engage the ratchet mechanism. W ith the child
seat in the requ ired position insert the belt's tongue into the
buckle. Retract the belt back onto the ree l; a ratchet operation
may be felt as the belt retracts. Continue to pay the belt back onto
the ree l unti l it f its snugly around the child seat.
To rev ert to t he inertia reel mode: Press t he button on the seat
belt buckle to release t he tongue, and allow the belt to return to
the stowed position.
Child Restraints
A child restraint system can help protect a ch ild in the veh icle.
Look for the following when selecting a child restraint system:
* It shou ld have a label certify ing that it meets the applicable
USA Federa l Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and
Canadian Motor Ve hicle Safety Standards.
* Carefully read the instructions supplied with the restra int. Be
sure you understand them and can install and use the device
properly and sa fely in the vehicle.
* Ensure that the chi ld rest raint system is appropriate for the
child's weight and development. The label required by the
standard or regulations, or instructions for infant restraints,
usually provide this information.
Before b uying a pa rticular child restra int system, make sure it
fits y our car seat and seat belts.
Note: Always ensure that child restraint asse m b lies are f itted
in strict accordance w ith the ch ild restraint m anufacturer's
instructions.

Garage Ooor Opener (GOO) ~~------------------/
The garage door opening equipment comprises an electronic
module fitted in the vehicle's roof console. This module can be
programmed to transmit the radio frequencies of up to three of
the owner's current hand-held transmitters. for the operation of
garage doors, gates, lighting or security systems, and other radio
frequency operated services .

.&. WARNING:
1. This GOO must not be used with installations that do not
have a sensor that will automatically 'stop' and 'reverse'
a closing garage door if an object is detected in its path.
2. When programming a channel, the system that you are
programming will be activated if it is within signal range,
therefore, make sure that people or objects are clear of
the garage doors or gates being opened or closed .
To programme the GDO's roof console module proceed as
follows :
Note: The GOO may not programme to older garage door
openers that do not meet current Federal Consumer Safety
Stand ards.
1. Switch off the engine.
2. Decide which of the th ree channels you wish to trai n.
3. Hold the end of your hand-held transm itter against the roof
console just forward of the three operating buttons, as shown
in th e illustration.

72

4. Using both hands, press both the hand-held transmi tter button
and th e selected channel button on the roof console. 00 NOT
RELEASE EITHER BUnON until step 5 has been carried out.
5. Hold down both buttons until you see the red light on the roof
console f lash slowly at first. then rapid ly. This could take up
to one minute, or more. Release both buttons when the red
light flashes rapidly. This rapid flashing indicates thatthe GDO
transmitter has been successfully programmed to match your
hand-held transmitter.
The old hand-held transmitter can now be set aside and the roof
console button used in future.
Note: (Canada only) Ouring programming, the hand-held
transmitter may automatically stop transmitting after one or
two seconds, which may not be long enough for the GOO to
be programmed. If you believe you have one of these
hand-held transmitters you should press and press again the
transmitter every two seconds without releasing the GOO
channel button After re-activating your transmitter
(operations 4 and 5), the GOO indicator light should flash
rapidly indicating successful programming. If it returns to the
slow flash, continue the procedure until a successful
programming operation is indicated by the rapid flashing
signal.
Programme the other channels, as required, using hand-held
transm itters previously used for other electronic services.
PRE-DRIVING
Operating the GOO
To operate: Simply press the appropriate button on the roof
console. The red light on the roof console comes on when the
signal is being tra nsmitted.
Note: The effective range of the GOO transmitter may differ
from your old hand-held transmitter.
Transmitter Programming Trouble-shooting
if the GOO transmitter does not programme to your hand-held
transm itter, re-read the instructions carefu lly and repeat the
steps. If still unsuccessful, read the following important details:
* Check that the batteries in the hand-held transmitter are not
dead.
* Hold the hand-held transmitter in the precise position shown
in the illu stration.
• Press and hold the two buttons, without interrupt ion, for the
duration of the programming.
* Turn the hand-held transmitter round and re-prog ramme using
the opposite end. For the best results use the opposite end
to the battery compa rtmen t when programm ing .
If your unit wi ll not programme after repeated attempts, see your
nearest Jaguar Dealer.
To erase previously programmed frequencies:
Press and hold the two outermost channel buttons until the red
light begins to flash . This wi ll erase all three channels. Individual
channels cannot be erased, but can be re-programmed at any time
by conducting the programming procedures over again.

General Driving Information
Before Starting
Before starting the engine, new owners/drivers should fam iliarize
themselves with the layout and operation of the controls and
instruments described on preceding pages.
.& WARNING:
Ensure the park brake (handbrake) is on and the gear selector
is in position 'P' or 'N' before attempting to start the engine.
For information on the Ant i-lock Braking System (A BS!. see pages
78 and 79.
Attention should also be given to items in Regular Checks,
SECTION 3 OF the Vehicle Care Handbook.
Disengage the steering lock and start the engine, see SECTION 3.
Before driving off, check the instruments, warning lights and
message centre. Take special note of any warning light that is on.
See SECTI ON 2.
Seat belts are provided for your safety and it is unwise. and in
certain coun tries illegal, to commence any journ ey, however
short, without wearing them .
Warm ing Up
Do not operate the engine at high rev/m in when first started but
allow time for the engine to warm up and the oi l to circu late. In
very co ld weather it is advisable to run the engine at 1500 rev/min
with the veh icle stationary (in the open air) until a ri se in
temperature is indicated on the gauge.
76
Use of Head lamps in Day light (Except Ca nada)
When visibility is poor, the head lamps on low beam setting must
be swi tched on, so that the vehicle may be seen more easily by
other road users .
In conditions of poor daytime visi bility, switch ing the headlamps
on manually may be preferable to the use of the Auto head lamp
feature .
The instrument illumination contro l adjusts the brightness of th e
panel lighting.
Climate Control Solar Sensor
A solar sensor unit is located centrally on top of the fascia . This
sensor should not be cove red as it is required for climate control
sensing.
Emi ssion Con trol
The emission contro l systems control the emission of
hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide. oxides of nitrogen and fuel by
evaporation .
It is essentia l that rou tine maintenance operations are carried ou t
by a Jaguar Dealer at the specified intervals.

Engine Oil Consumption
A certain amount of oil consumption is normal. The rate of
consumption will depend on the following:
* The quality and viscosity of the oil.
* The amount of oxidation and dilution of the oil.
* Climatic cond itions.
* The speed at wh ich the engine is being operated.
* Road conditions.
Drivers should expect above norma l consumption when the
engine is new, and after running-in if high speeds are sustained .
Winter Driving
Freeing a Frozen Door Lock
Caution: Do not apply a proprietary Lock De-ieer through the
keyhole,
Should the lock become frozen, heat the end of the key before
use.
Windscreen Wiper Blade
Before driving away, clear any ice from the windscreen and check
that the wiper blade is free.
Frost Precautions
The correct concentration of coolant must be maintained at all
times when 'topping up' or 'refilling' the cooling system. See
Checking and Replenishment in SECTION 3 of the Vehicle Care
Handbook,
DRIVING
Winter (Snow) Tyres
The use of winter tyres will considerably improve the vehicle's
handling in adverse winter conditions.
Winter tyres must be used in a complete vehicle set, see
WheelfTyre Data in SECTION 6 of the Veh icl e Care Handbook for
recommended tyres and ty re pressures.
Snow Chains
Snow chains of the recommended type may only be fitted to the
rear wheels, see Snow Chains in SECTION 5 of the Vehicle Care
Handbook.
Switch off traction control when using snow chains.
The maximum speed when using snow chains is 30 mph
(48 km/hl
Remove the snow chains as soon as the roads are clear of snow.
Running-in
Apa rt from a few precautionary recommendations, there are no
strict 'running-in' procedures for th is vehicle.
By observing th e following advisory notes you will ensure
maxim um engine, transmission and brake life for your vehicle.
1, Allow the engine to warm up thorough ly before operating at
engine speeds over 3500 rev/min.
2, Vary the speed frequently.
3, From 1000 miles (1500 kilometres) onwards, gradually
increase performance of the vehicle up to the permitted
maximum speed.
77
 DRIVING
Brakes
The front and rear disc brakes are on separate brake circuits.
Should one of the brake circuits fai l, the other ci rcuit wi ll still
operate . If one circuit fails, brake pedal travel and effort will
increase, however, if it is the front circuit which fa il s, considerably
greater travel and effort will be required to stop the vehic le. In any
event consu lt a Jag uar Dealer immediately.
Running-in for Brakes
To ensure that t he brake pads can 'bed-in ' evenly and reach their
optimum wear and performance condition, the following points
are recommended.
1. Where possible, avoid heavy braking or rough usage of the
brakes as this can result in damage being caused to the brake
pads and discs.
2. Avo id prolonged use of the brakes, fo r example, when
descending severe gradients.
3. Frequent light application of the brakes is desirable. This helps
to f ully 'bed-in' the brake pads be fore the normal running-in
period is completed and t he vehicle is operated at high
speeds, when maximum brake efficiency w ill be requi red .
The above equally applies when new discs or pads have been
fitted.
78
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
This system helps to preven t the road wheels from locking and
skidding during emergency braking, assi sting the driver to
maintain full steering and directiona l stabil ity.
The factor controlli ng ultimate stopping distance and corne ring
abi lity is tyre/road adhesion.
ABS optimise s tyre/roa d adhesion under maximum braking
conditions though it cannot provide increased corner ing ability.
There is no need for special braking tech niques, such as
'pumping' the brakes, to achieve optimum braking distances and
control on poor or slippery road surfaces. Tyres must be in good
condition to ach ieve maximum adhesion.
During norma l braking the ASS will not be activated. However, if
the braking fo rce applied begins to exceed tyre/road adhesion the
ASS wi ll automatically activate, preventing the road whee ls from
locking. In thes e circumstances a pulsating effect will be felt from
the brake pedal ind icating that the system is functioning . The
pulsating effect is due to small fluctuations in pressure supplied to
the brakes by the system to maintain full tyre/road adhesion.
Under severe braking on some road surfaces tyre noise may be
apparent even though the wheels w ill at no time become locked.

.&. WARNING:
1. It remains the drivers responsibility to drive safely
according to prevailing conditions.
2. Thefactthat a vehicle is fitted with ASS must never allow
the driver to be tempted into taking risks which could
affect his/her safety or that of other road users.
3. The addition of ASS cannot overcome the consequences
of trying to stop in too short a distance, cornering at too
high a speed, or the risk of aquaplaning ,
4. The driver should always take road conditions into
account. A slippery road surface always requires more
braking distance for a given speed, even with ASS. A
possible increase in stopping distance compared to
locked wheels may occur during ABS operation on slushy
snow, gravel, sand, or some heavily corrugated or ridged
warning sections of road surfaces.
ABS Monitoring
The ABS contro l module monitors the ABS electrical system f rom
ignition switch ON to ignition switch OFF. Any malfunction w ill be
indicated by the an ti-lock warni ng light com ing on.
Should a fault develop in the ABS system, the brake system will
still operate conventionally and w it h the same standard of
performance as vehic les not equipped w ith ABS.
Caution: Should the warning light come on while driving, a
system failure is indicated, consult a Jaguar Dealer
immediately.
DRIVING
Advice On ABS Braking Techniques
For opt imum ABS performance the instructions on braking
techn iques during ABS operation should be followed:
1. Do not release brake pressure when the pulsating effect is
fe lt. Maintain a constant pressure until the manoeuvre is
co mpleted.
2. To fami liarise yourse ll w ith the leel of the brake pedal during
ABS braking, practise an emergency stop procedure, always
making sure it is safe to do so. With the seat belts fitted to all
occupan ts, drive the veh icle at 20 mph (32 km/hl and brake
sharply.
3. ABS enables the driver to steer around obstacles during
emergency braking. However, the consequences of turning
sharply at high speed cannot be overcome by the ABS. Read
the warn ings listed on t his page.
4. Do not attempt 10 'pump' the brakes to avoid skidding as thi s
can in terfere with the ABS operation . The ABS w ill not allow
the wheels to skid under norma l road conditio ns.
5. The ABS wi ll tend to keep the vehicle straight during braking.
Because braking distances may increase under certain road
conditions. it is necessary to plan and make turning
manoeuvres as early as possible.

Touring
Foreign Travel
Before planning fore ign trave l, check with a motoring organisation
to ensure that your vehicle will comply with legal requ irements of
the countries you intend to visit.
Internationa l motoring organisations are helpfu l for all aspects of
long distance touring advice.
In some countries it is a requ irement to ca rry spare vehicle bulbs.
Gasoline in Containers
Some countries forbid the carrying of gasoline in containers, as do
most ferry and hovercraft operators.
Cellular Radio Telephones in Tourist's Vehicles Abroad
Ask your motoring organisation about the use of cellular radio
telephones before travelling abroad, as some countries exercise
controls on the importation and use of such equ ipment.
Roof-rack
Only the Jaguar roof-ra ck should be used. The roof load including
t he rack must not exceed the specified maximum . The combined
roof and luggage compartm ent loads must not exceed the
specified maximum luggage compartment load. See Roof-Rack
Capacity and Trailer Weights in SECTION 6 of the Vehicle Care
Handbook . Load s on the roof-rack may affect vehicle hand ling,
especially in crosswinds or when cornering.

Towing a Trailer
Your Jaguar Dealer, and the main motoring organisations, can
advise you on towing, towing weight capacities and about
regulations that apply in other countries.
The fol lowing contain important points on safety, stability and
comfort. on which further advice should be sought. The we ights
and loads referred to will be fou nd in SECTION 6 of the Vehicle
Care Handbook.
* The maximum recom mended braked trai ler weight is only
permissible provided long periods of uphill driving on gradients
steeper than 8% is not undertaken.
DRIVING
* Catalytic conve rt ers increase exhaust system temperatures
(particularly under engine malfunction). Do not drive or park
over combustib le materials such as dry grass or leaves wh ich
may come into contact with the exhaust system.
* Avoid heavy braking. Since the overrun brake on the trailer is
not con nected to the ABS, heavy traile r braking could critically
affect the stability of t he outfit as a whole.
* Ensure that the towing vehicle's engine, transm ission,
suspension, brakes and tyres are fully efficient and regularly
serviced . Similarly check the wheels, tyres, brakes and wheel
bearings of the trailer.

* Check the kerbs ide weight of the veh icle.

* When towing, the noseweight of the trailer and the tow-bar
assembly must be deducted from the appropriate maximum
trailer weight.
* When towing at the maximum permissible rear axle load, the
speed must not exceed 62 mph 1100 km/hl, and the tyre
pressures must be increased to 39 Ibflin 2 12,5 bar).
* The maximum recomme nded tow-ball noseweight must not
be exceeded.
* It is essential that only a Jaguar tow-bar and Jaguar electrical
tow-bar kit are supplied and fitted by a Jaguar dea ler.
