Jaguar X-Type JJM 21 02 20/15 - Manual (Page 58)

4-2 On the road
Engine Temperature (E)
Drive at moderate road and engine
speeds until normal operating
temperature is reached. This is indicated
when the pointer is between the
blue (cold) segment and the red (hot)
segment.
The engine operating temperature will
vary with changes in weather and engine
load. The engine temperature may rise in
some circumstances, such as:
• idling for long periods in slow moving
traffic.
• driving up a long hill in hot weather.
• driving slowly or stopping after
driving at high speed.
• towing a trailer or caravan.
Should the pointer move into the red
segment (H) or the red light illuminate,
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safely
possible, turn off the engine and open the
bonnet to allow the engine to cool.
!
WARNING:
The radiator cooling fans may
continue to run after the ignition has
been switched off but will
automatically switch off when the
engine has cooled sufficiently.
Warning lights
Warning lights are arranged within the
instrument cluster.
When a message centre is fitted there are
two warning lights, one red, the other
amber, located above the message centre
for primary and secondary status of the
warnings displayed by the message
centre.
‘RED’ warning lights are for primary
warnings. A primary warning must be
investigated immediately by the driver or
a Jaguar Dealer.
‘AMBER’ warning lights are for secondary
warnings when the driver must take
action and then report the fault to a
Dealer at the earliest opportunity.
Other lamps indicate system status, such
as blue for main beam and green for
direction indicators, when in operation.
A lamp check is initiated when the
ignition is switched ON and lasts for
three seconds (excepting the airbag
warning light which will remain on for
6 seconds). If any warning light remains
on after this period, investigate the cause
before driving.
When activated, some warning lights
have associated messages displayed on
the message centre.
Note: Not all lamps are included in the
lamp check, for example main beam
headlamps or direction indicators.
