If the message centre displays the

qualified assistance as soon as possible.
Topping up
!
WARNING:
• Do not allow antifreeze to make
contact with skin or eyes. If this
should happen, rinse the affected
area immediately with plenty of
water.
• Coolant fluid is toxic and in
concentrated form is flammable.
Observe all warnings indicated on
the container.
Caution: Antifreeze will damage
paintwork. Wash off immediately if
spillage occurs.
Top up with a mixture of 50% water and
50% antifreeze until the coolant is
between the MAX and MIN. This 50/50%
mixture gives frost protection for
temperatures down
to – 40°C (– 40°F). Use antifreeze to
specification WSS M97B44, coloured
orange, Extended Life Coolant.
Refit the filler cap and hand-tighten
securely until one click is heard.
WASHER FLUID CHECK
!
WARNING:
• Windshield washer fluid is toxic and
in concentrated form is flammable.
Observe all warnings on the washer
solution container.
• Under no circumstances must
cooling system antifreeze be used,
since this will damage the
paintwork.
The washer reservoir contains the fluid for
the windshield washers and the headlamp
powerwash system.
Fill with Jaguar Windshield Washer Fluid
diluted with clean soft water as specified
in the instructions on the bottle. Do not
over fill.
Using a non-approved fluid may
adversely affect the wiper blade rubber,
resulting in ineffectual and noisy wiping.
