General Maintenance
Maintenance
Introduction
Owners are responsible for ensuring that
the vehicle is regularly serviced at the
correct distance/time intervals as
specified in the ‘Maintenance Schedules’.
The first part of this chapter deals with
regular servicing.
The condition of the tires is of the utmost
importance. Advice about tire wear and
correct usage is given in the following
chapter, ‘Tire Information’. If in any doubt
about the condition of your tires, contact
a Jaguar Retailer.
Regular Servicing
Each vehicle is given a full ‘Pre-Delivery
Inspection’ to ensure that all systems
function correctly and the vehicle meets
its specification.
Regular maintenance and servicing is the
responsibility of the owner. Failure to
implement maintenance at the
recommended intervals could result in
deterioration of vehicle performance and
possible infringement of regulations.
Your Jaguar Retailer will be pleased to
arrange periodic servicing in accordance
with the ‘Service Portfolio’ book.
Always use a hand cream to protect the
skin from oil contamination.
Avoid contact with the skin as far as
possible and wash thoroughly after any
contact. Keep oils out of reach of
children.
Protect the Environment
Care should be taken at all times to avoid
polluting the environment.
Used materials, e.g. batteries, tires, fluids
and filters, should be disposed of at
suitable disposal facilities in accordance
with local legislation. If in doubt,
clarification should be sought from your
local authority/regulator.
Engine and throttle settings
Do not attempt to make adjustments to
the engine or throttle settings.
Many vehicle systems are controlled by
complex electronic devices and require
specialist knowledge. Such work should
be entrusted to a Jaguar Retailer.
Hydraulic fluid
The brake hydraulic fluid in the master
cylinder and brake operating system uses
non-mineral polyglycol based brake fluid
with a minimum standard of JAGUAR
SUPER DOT 4. ONLY FLUID OF THIS
TYPE AND STANDARD MAY BE USED.
Battery/ignition isolator switches
Non-approved battery isolator switches,
which disconnect the power supply to all
electrical circuits, are not recommended.
Used Engine Oil
!
WARNING:
Contamination of the brake system
fluid by as little as 1 per cent will cause
rapid deterioration of the system seals.
Ensure that the brake fluid reservoir
cap is securely fitted.
!
WARNING:
Prolonged and repeated contact may
cause serious skin disorders, including
dermatitis and cancer.

Hood Opening
!
WARNING:
Before closing the hood ensure that no
one is obstructing the closing area and
that hands and clothes are clear.
Remove tools, cleaning cloths, etc.,
from the engine compartment.
Hood Closing
Close the hood to within a distance of
10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) of the fully
closed position, then let go to allow the
hood to shut. Check by pulling the hood
that both the right-hand and left-hand
latches are engaged.
!
WARNING:
Take care to keep away from rotating
components if the engine is running
when you open the hood.
Release the hood lock by pulling the lever
below the fascia on the left-hand side of
the vehicle.
Lift the hood slightly and pull up the safety
catch under the hood, located centrally
behind the grille. The gas filled struts will
assist raising the hood, and retain it in the
fully open position.

Regular Checks
Regular Checks
Check Intervals
In the interests of safety and reliability,
it is advisable to carry out the following
checks at the recommended intervals,
and always before starting on a long
journey.
Power steering fluid
- With the engine
cold check the level of the fluid in the
power steering fluid reservoir. Replenish if
necessary with fluid of the correct
specification. Any loss of fluid should be
checked by a Jaguar Retailer.
Daily
Check that there is sufficient fuel for the
journey intended, particularly at night and
before entering motorways.
Monthly
Windscreen washer fluid
- Replenish
with recommended windscreen washer
fluid and clean soft water. Check the
operation of the washer. Use Jaguar
Windscreen Washer Fluid to keep the
glass clean and also to prevent the fluid
from freezing during cold weather.
Wiper blades
- Check the quality of the
wipe. If smearing or juddering is evident,
clean the windscreen and renew the wiper
blades.
Weekly
Tires
- Check the tires, including the
spare, for condition and pressure.
Lights
- Check that all exterior lights and
direction indicators function correctly and
that the lenses are clean.
Engine oil
- With the vehicle standing on
level ground, check the oil level and
replenish if necessary with oil of the
correct grade.
Engine coolant
- With the engine cold,
check the level of the coolant in the
coolant reservoir header tank. Any loss of
fluid must be checked by a Jaguar
Retailer.
Brake/clutch fluid
- Check the level of
the fluid in the brake fluid reservoir.
Replenish if necessary with new, unused
Jaguar approved brake fluid.
The reservoir is initially nearly full, but the
level will drop as the brake pads wear.
If the level appears unusually low,
location of the fluid leakage must be
checked by a Jaguar Retailer.
Drivetrain lubricants
The rear axle (final drive unit), transfer box
and automatic and manual transmission
units (gearboxes) will not normally require
to be checked or replenished.
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 conditions.
•
The speed at which the engine is
being operated.
•
Road conditions.
Drivers should expect above normal
consumption when the engine is new,
and after running-in if high speeds are
sustained.

Checking and Top-up
Checking and Top-up
Check Engine Oil Level
The oil consumption of your engine is
influenced by many factors: new engines
reach the normal value only after
approximately 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
Under high loads your engine will also
consume more oil.
Check the oil level regularly with the
vehicle on flat, level ground. Refer to page
163 for dipstick and oil filler locations.
It is preferable to check the oil level after
the vehicle has been standing, that is,
with the engine completely cold.
If the engine has been started do not
check the oil level until the engine has
reached normal operating temperature.
Stop the engine and wait for a minimum
of 5 minutes to allow the oil to drain back
into the sump.
If the oil level reaches the minimum level,
remove the oil filler cap (
2
) and add oil,
to the quantity and specification shown:
refer to Recommended Engine Oil.
Refit the filler cap and securely tighten it
by hand.
Caution: Do not use oil additives of any
type. Use only specified lubricants.
Recommended Engine Oil
Jaguar recommends
When the oil level is at the
lower dipstick mark,
add 1 quart (1 litre) of oil.
Oil specification -API
SL/EC and ILSAC GF-3
When topping up between oil changes,
make sure that you use oil that has the
correct quality level (API service) and
viscosity grade. Your vehicle’s warranty
may be invalidated if damage is caused
by use of improper engine oil.
Note:
For maximum fuel economy, 5W-30
oil is recommended.
SAE Viscosity Rating
- For climates
ranging from -22°F (-30°C) to +122°F
(+50°C), the following oil viscosities may
be used:
0W-30
5W-30 (preferred)
0W-40
5W-40
Note:
It is recommended that the oil level
is topped up using oil of the same
viscosity. If you are unsure which oil
viscosity is used in your car, your Jaguar
Retailer will be able to advise.
Procedure
Remove the dipstick (
1
) and wipe clean
with a non-fluffy cloth. Replace fully, then
withdraw the dipstick. If the oil level is
above the minimum mark on the dipstick
then no additional oil is required.
