Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before driving the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in an accident, potentially leading to serious injury or death.
Check all the vehicle’s tires, including the spare, regularly for damage, wear, and distortion. If in any doubt about the condition of a tire, have it checked immediately by a tire repair center or a retailer/authorized repairer.
Make sure to read and fully understand the following warnings. Failure to comply with the safety instructions could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
For vehicles with TPMS, it is possible to adjust the pressure of a warm tire, providing the advised pressures are used. See TIRE PRESSURE CHECK.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before checking and adjusting the tire pressures. See TIRE PRESSURE SAFETY.
For vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), inflate the tires to the advised pressures displayed in the instrument panel. The advised tire pressures are displayed in brackets in instrument panel. See TIRE PRESSURE CHECK.
Confirm that the TPMS loading setting is correct. See VEHICLE LOADING.
If the advised tire pressures are not available in the instrument panel, or if TPMS is not fitted, when the tires are cold, inflate to the recommended cold tire pressures. See TIRE PRESSURE LABEL or refer to the table below.
The following procedure should be used to adjust the tire pressures:
| Tire size | Light load | Normal load (up to maximum Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Front pressures psi (bar, kPa) | Rear pressures psi (bar, kPa) | Front pressures psi (bar, kPa) | Rear pressures psi (bar, kPa) | |

For the latest available information on the tire pressures, visit: www.ownerinfo.jaguar.com.
The recommended tire pressures are listed on a label located in the driver’s door opening.
The recommended tire pressures provide optimum ride and handling characteristics for all normal operating conditions.
The label contains the following information:
Keep the tire valve caps screwed down firmly to prevent water or dirt from entering the valve. Check the valves for leaks when checking the tire pressures.
Do not use metal valve caps, as these can corrode onto the valve threads and be difficult or impossible to remove.
Make sure the following warnings and notices have been read and fully understood. Failure to comply with the safety instructions could result in damage to the vehicle, or an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
When the tread has worn down to approximately 0.07 in (2 mm), wear indicators start to appear at the surface of the tread pattern. Wear indicators produce a continuous band of rubber across the tread, as a visual reminder.
It is recommended that tires should be replaced in sets of four. If this is not possible, replace the tires in pairs, both front or both rear. When tires are replaced, the wheels should always be re-balanced and the alignment checked.
Use the correct tire specification and pressures. Alternatively, contact a retailer/authorized repairer for advice. See TIRE PRESSURES or TIRE PRESSURE LABEL.
Daily ambient temperature variations may cause intermittent, minor tire pressure changes, which is normal and should not indicate a tire failure.
To mitigate this condition, check and adjust the tire pressures to the recommended cold inflation pressures before vehicle use.
In areas of extended high ambient temperature, vehicle tires can be affected by a softening of the tire’s sidewall. If the vehicle is stationary for long periods, the tire deforms at the point where the standing surface meets the tire.
The tire deformation described is known as a flat spot and is normal tire behavior.
When the vehicle is subsequently driven, a vibration may be experienced from the flat spot. The condition steadily improves with extra mileage.
In order to minimize flat spotting, increase the tire pressures to the maximum, as stated on the tire’s sidewall. The tires must be returned to the specified running pressures before driving. See TIRE PRESSURES and TIRE MARKINGS.
Tires degrade over time, due to the effects of ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high loads, and environmental conditions. It is recommended that all tires, including the spare, are replaced at least every 6 years from the date of manufacture. However, the tires may require replacement more frequently.
A dedicated winter tire often has a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire. Consequently, the vehicle must be driven within the speed limitation of the winter tire. Consult a retailer/authorized repairer for further information. In markets that require a tire’s maximum speed label to be fitted, make sure to place the label within the driver’s field of vision. Maximum speed labels can be obtained from the tire retailer. Failure to adhere to the winter tire’s speed limit may result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
M+S tires have a recognized level of winter performance. However, the M+S marking on the sidewall of the tire does not necessarily indicate that the tire is a dedicated winter tire. The M+S marking on an all-season tire indicates that it is designed for use all year round, including in cold temperatures, snow, and ice. The performance of all-season tires is generally inferior to a dedicated winter tire in conditions specific to winter.
In many countries, legislation exists that requires the use of winter tires during specified periods of the year.
The winter tires symbol identifies dedicated winter tires. Dedicated winter tires are recommended if optimum winter traction is required or if the vehicle is to be used in more extreme winter conditions.
The tire pressures indicated on the tire information label are for use in all conditions for the original equipment tires. If a reduced speed-rating tire is fitted, the recommended pressures are only suitable up to the tire’s maximum speed, with a light vehicle load. Vehicle speed should be restricted to below 100 mph (160 km/h) when normally loaded.
Winter tires must be fitted to all four wheels.
For optimum traction, winter tires should be run in for at least 100 miles (160 km) on dry roads, before driving on snow or ice.
Use of dedicated winter tires may require a change of wheel size, depending on the original choice of wheel. All four wheels must be changed.
If fitted with standard rubber valves, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) warning lamp flashes for 75 seconds and then remains illuminated.
When the original wheels and tires are refitted, the vehicle needs to travel a short distance to reset the TPMS and extinguish the warning lamp.

Make sure to read and fully understand the following warnings and cautions. Failure to comply could result in serious injury, death, or vehicle damage.
Self-sealing tires are identified by one of the symbols shown below on the tire’s sidewall.
Continental.
Goodyear.
Michelin.
Pirelli.
A self-sealing tire can seal punctures in the tread area up to a maximum of 0.2 in (5 mm). In the event of a tire self-sealing, and no tire pressure loss, it is not necessary to stop immediately for a tire change and the journey may continue. When a puncture is observed, have it checked at the earliest opportunity by a tire repair center or a retailer/authorized repairer.
USING SNOW CHAINS
Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before using snow chains. Failure to use the snow chains safely could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
WARNING
Only use traction devices in heavy snow conditions, on compacted snow.
Traction devices approved by the vehicle manufacturer may be used to improve traction in heavy snow conditions, on compacted snow.
Traction devices should not be used in off-road conditions where there is no compacted snow.
If it becomes necessary to fit traction devices, the following points must be observed:
235/65R17.
235/60R18.
235/55R19.
245/45R20.
Contact a retailer/authorized repairer for details and availability of approved snow chains.
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
In addition to the marking requirements, passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements.
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1½) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
The vehicle should be checked by a retailer/authorized repairer as soon as possible if treadwear is uneven across the tire, or a tire wears excessively.
When the tread has worn down to approximately 0.07 in (2 mm), wear indicators start to appear at the surface of the tread pattern. Wear indicators produce a continuous band of rubber across the tread, as a visual indicator.
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. The grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.
The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
lbf/in² or psi: Pounds per square inch, an imperial unit of measure for pressure.
