Cold weather precautions

To prevent damage to the pump during
freezing conditions, use Jaguar
Windshield Washer Fluid at the strength
shown on the bottle, for the anticipated
ambient temperature.

Caution: State or local regulations on
volatile organic compounds may
restrict the use of methanol, a common
windshield washer anti-freeze additive.
Washer fluids containing
non-methanol anti-freeze agents
should be used only if they provide cold
weather protection without damaging
the vehicle’s paint finish, wiper blades
or washer system.

BRAKE FLUID CHECK

!

WARNING:

The fluid level will drop as the brake
pads wear. If the level is very low the
brake warning indicator will illuminate
and a message BRAKE FLUID LOW will
be displayed. Seek qualified assistance
immediately. Do not drive the vehicle
until the cause is rectified as driving
under such conditions could result in
extended stopping distances or
complete brake failure.

Caution:
While handling brake fluid, take

extreme care; brake fluid can
damage the vehicle paintwork.

Always use fresh, clean fluid from a

new container. Never introduce
used brake fluid into the system.

The fluid is visible through the translucent
casing of the reservoir and must be
maintained at the MAX mark.

Topping up:

1. Remove the reservoir top cover.

2. Clean the reservoir and cap

thoroughly with a lint free cloth to
ensure that no foreign matter enters
the reservoir.

3. Unscrew the filler cap and top up to

the MAX level using brake fluid to
specification Shell DOT 4 ESL or low
viscosity DOT 4 brake fluid that meets
ISO 4925 class 6 specification. Only
fluid of this type and standard may be
used.
