Owner information 1-1 1 Owner information General information Whether you are new to the Jaguar marque or have previously owned Jaguar vehicles, we are pleased that you have made Jaguar your choice of vehicle this time.

Details of the vehicle warranty are contained within the ‘Passport to Service’ booklet for USA and Canada or, for Mexico, the ‘Service Record and Warranty’ book. When left-hand or right-hand is used in the text, this refers to the left-hand side or right-hand side of the vehicle, viewed from the rear. Jaguar Retailers Jaguar Retailers are chosen with care. Each is dedicated to providing a Sales, Service and Spare Parts facility of the highest standard. Jaguar Retailers are provided with full technical support from the factory, with comprehensive training for all their technicians. Retailers’ workshops operate to a high standard and have all the necessary tools and equipment essential to maintain or repair Jaguar vehicles. A current list of Retailers is included in the vehicle literature pack. Genuine Jaguar parts and accessories Your Jaguar Retailer can supply you with genuine replacement parts and accessories which are fully approved to Jaguar’s original equipment specification. This will ensure that the safety and performance of your vehicle is maintained for your complete peace of mind. Please note that fitment of non-genuine parts may invalidate the vehicle warranty if a subsequent fault occurs due to fitting sub-standard replacement parts or accessories. Jaguar parts distribution service Jaguar Retailers stock a large number of parts to keep your vehicle maintained and back on the road as quickly as possible. Their service is supported by strategically positioned Jaguar parts distribution centres throughout North America, providing next day delivery to the majority of Retailers.

Please ask your Jaguar Retailer for an up-to-date brochure so you can select your requirements from the latest range. This Handbook describes every option and model variant available and therefore some of the items covered may not apply to your particular vehicle.

1-2 Owner information Warnings, Cautions and Notes Take particular note of WARNINGS, Cautions and Notes given throughout this Handbook. ! WARNING: A warning is a procedure which must be followed precisely to help avoid the risk of personal injury. Caution: A caution is a procedure which must be followed precisely to reduce the possibility of damage to the vehicle and resultant risk of personal injury or inconvenience. Note: A note is a procedure which will help avoid difficulties in the operation of the vehicle. Vehicle Handbooks ! WARNING: Remember to pass on the Vehicle Handbooks when reselling the vehicle. Handbooks are integral parts of the vehicle. Warning symbols on the vehicle On encountering the warning triangle or open book symbol on the vehicle, it is important that before touching this part of the vehicle or attempting adjustments of any kind you consult the relevant section of this Handbook. Caution: Do not remove any warning labels from the underhood area or inside the vehicle. Reporting Safety Defects (USA only) If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Jaguar Cars. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your Retailer, or Jaguar Cars. To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1–800–424–9393 (or 366–0123 in Washington D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590. To contact Jaguar Cars, call 1–800 4 Jaguar. You can also obtain other information about motor safety from the Hotline.

Owner information 1-3 Health and safety ! WARNING: 1. Many liquids and other substances used in vehicles are poisonous and should never be consumed and must be kept away from open wounds. These substances include anti-freeze, brake fluid, fuel, windscreen washer additives, lubricants and various adhesives. 2. The presence of any unusual fumes (for example, petrol or exhaust fumes) in the passenger compartment and/or luggage compartment should be corrected immediately by a Jaguar Retailer. If you must drive under these conditions do so only with all windows fully open. 3. By operating other electronic equipment (for example, a mobile phone without an exterior antenna) electro-magnetic fields can cause malfunctions of the vehicle electronics. Therefore, you should observe the instructions of the equipment manufacturers. 4. Any modifications to the fuel system not specifically designed for this Jaguar are prohibited. Such modifications in some circumstances could result in a fire. All service actions must be entrusted to a Jaguar Retailer. 5. Alterations to the electrical system, including the fitting of accessories not designed for this Jaguar, will cause damage to the electrical circuits and systems. In some circumstances this could result in a malfunction or fire. All accessory work should be entrusted to a Jaguar Retailer. 6. No attempt should be made to repair a fuse that has blown. Always install a new fuse of the correct amperage. Failure to comply with the above may cause a fire hazard or create serious damage elsewhere in the electrical circuit. 7. Avoid contact with battery acid which is poisonous and corrosive. Acid will cause burns to the skin as well as to the eyes. In the event of skin or eye contamination, wash the affected area with water thoroughly. Seek immediate medical attention when eye contact has occurred. 8. Do not disconnect any pipes in the air conditioning refrigeration system. A refrigerant is used which can cause blindness if allowed to contact the eyes. If refrigerant should contact the eyes or skin, wash the eyes or affected area with cold water for several minutes. Do not rub. As soon as possible thereafter, obtain treatment from a doctor or eye specialist. 9. When working within the engine compartment, take care to avoid contact with moving parts and hot components, and ensure that any metal objects do not short circuit the battery. 10.California Proposition 65: Engine exhaust, some of its constituents and certain vehicle components, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

1-4 Owner information Regular servicing Each vehicle is given a full ‘Pre-Delivery Inspection’ to ensure that all systems function correctly and that the vehicle meets its specification. Owners are responsible for the regular maintenance and servicing of the vehicle. Jaguar Retailers will be pleased to arrange periodic servicing and can provide you with details of tasks carried out at each service interval. Failure to implement maintenance at the recommended intervals could result in deterioration of vehicle performance and possible infringement of regulations and factory warranty. Regular routine maintenance not only helps to prevent unnecessary ‘breakdowns’ and inconvenience, but enhances the ‘trade in’ or resale value of the vehicle. USA and Canada Jaguar Retailers will arrange for appointments on a mileage/distance or time interval basis to ensure that all routine and corrective maintenance work is undertaken and recorded in the ‘Passport to Service’ Booklet. This booklet not only contains a record of vital information, but also information about warranties, Jaguar Cars, Jaguar Car Clubs, Tyre Manufacturers and change of ownership or address vouchers. Mexico Jaguar Retailers will arrange for appointments on a mileage/distance or time interval basis to ensure that all routine and corrective maintenance work is undertaken and recorded in the ‘Service Record and Warranty’ Book. This booklet not only contains a record of vital information, but also information about warranty and a change of ownership card. Jaguar diagnostic system Many of the vehicle systems are controlled by complex electronic devices. Specialist equipment is required to trace and rectify faults in the systems and ensure that only faulty components are repaired or renewed. Caution: Severe damage to the electrical system and electronic components can occur if any attempt is made to diagnose faults in the electrical system using conventional diagnostic equipment (for example, the use of test lamps or low impedance voltmeters). The fitting of any electrical accessory should only be entrusted to a Jaguar Retailer.
