Maintenance 7-9

Check brake/clutch fluid
reservoir

The manual transmission clutch fluid is

shared with the brake fluid in a common

reservoir.

!

WARNING:

The fluid level will drop as the brake
pads wear. If the level is very low
report the loss of fluid to the nearest
Jaguar Dealer. Do not drive the
vehicle until the cause is rectified.
Caution:

1. While handling brake fluid, take

extreme care; brake fluid must not
contact the vehicle paintwork.

2. Always use fresh, clean fluid from

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

Refer to page 7-5 for brake/clutch fluid

reservoir location.
The fluid is visible through the

translucent casing of the reservoir and

must be maintained at the ‘MAX’ mark.

If necessary, replenish as follows:
Before removing the cap, clean the

reservoir and cap thoroughly with a

non-fluffy cloth to ensure that no foreign

matter enters the reservoir.
Unscrew the filler cap and replenish to

the ‘MAX’ level using brake fluid to

specification Jaguar Super DOT 4
(ESA-M6C25-A)
.
Refit the filler cap securely.
To avoid contamination should any brake

fluid be spilt, replace the cap on the

reservoir before cleaning the spilt fluid

from the vehicle.
