2023 JAGUAR I-PACE MAINTENANCE

BREAKING-IN

The vehicle is built using high-precision manufacturing methods, but the moving parts of the electrical system must still bed-in, relative to each other. The bedding-in process occurs mainly in the first 3 000 km of operation.

During the running-in period of 3 000 km, observe and follow the instructions below:

• Do not fully press the accelerator pedal during starts and normal driving.
• Gradually increase road speeds.
• Avoid continuous operation at high speed and abrupt stops.
• Avoid frequent cold starts followed by short-distance driving.
• Preferably take longer journeys.
• Do not participate in track days, sports driving schools, or any similar events.

AIR CONDITIONING (A/C)

The following symbols may be used on an under-hood label and are relevant to the refrigerant fluid:

A/C symbol.
