USING AN AUTOMATIC WASH
Commercially operated automatic car
washes, jet washes and
power-operated mops, are not
recommended.
UNDER BONNET CLEANING
Do not use a high pressure washer or
steam cleaner in the engine
compartment.
Ensure that the brake fluid reservoir is
kept dry at all times. Only use a clean,
dry cloth to clean the brake fluid cap
and reservoir.
CLEANING GLASS SURFACES
Clean the rear window with a soft cloth to avoid
damaging the heating element. Do not scrape
the glass or use any abrasive cleaning fluid.
Mirror glass is particularly susceptible to
damage. Wash with soapy water. Do not use
abrasive cleaning compounds or metal
scrapers to remove ice.
To avoid damaging the protecting coating, only
clean the interior side of the sunroof glass with
a soft cloth. Don not scrape the glass or use
abrasive cleaning fluids.
CLEANING THE REAR SCREEN
To avoid damaging the heating elements when
cleaning the inside of the rear screen, use only
a soft damp cloth or chamois leather. Do not
use solvents or sharp objects to clean the
glass.
CLEANING THE SUNROOF WIND
DEFLECTOR
A mild solution of soap and water, or car
shampoo, should be used to clean the wind
deflector net periodically. Support the
underside of the net with a soft cloth, and
gently scrub the net using a soft bristled brush.
REMOVING GREASE AND TAR
Remove grease or tar with Jaguar Tar Remover
or methylated spirit (alcohol). White spirit is
also effective, but must not be applied to
rubber, particularly the windscreen wiper
blades.
Ensure that after using methylated or
white spirit, the area is washed
immediately with soapy water, to
remove all traces of spirit.
POLISHING
Chrome polish, or other abrasive
cleaners, must not be used on the
vehicle's brightwork.
It is recommended that the vehicle is polished
regularly using Jaguar polish and a polishing
cloth.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
The steering wheel centre pad and other
areas containing airbags should only be
cleaned sparingly with a damp cloth,
warm water and a non-detergent soap.
