The vehicle is built using high-precision manufacturing methods, but the moving parts of the engine must still settle in relative to each other. The breaking-in process occurs mainly in the first 2 000 mi (3 000 km) of operation.
During the breaking-in period of 2 000 mi (3 000 km), observe and follow the instructions below:
With reference to US legislation relating to Air Conditioning (A/C) refrigerants, J2845 Technician Training for Safe Service and Containment of Refrigerants Used in Mobile Air Conditioning (A/C) Systems (HFO-1234yf) states that under no circumstances should any part of the A/C system be serviced, dismantled, or replaced by anyone other than suitably qualified and certified personnel. Make sure that the refrigerant is correctly contained at all times. Failure to adhere to the above may result in serious personal injury or death.
All replacement parts for the Air Conditioning (A/C) system must be new and equivalent to the manufacturer’s original equipment. All replacement parts must comply with the relevant SAE standard (J2842). Contact a retailer/authorized repairer for advice. Failure to do so may lead to serious personal injury or death.
The following symbols may be used on an under-hood label and are relevant to the refrigerant fluid:
A/C symbol.
Lubricant symbol.
Caution.
Flammable refrigerant.
Required registered technician to service A/C system.
Consult the Owner’s Handbook.
Check the operation of the following every day:
Look for fluid deposits underneath the vehicle that might indicate a leak.
Condensation drips from the Air Conditioning (A/C) system are normal.
The engine oil level should be checked more frequently if the vehicle is driven for prolonged periods at high speeds.
When a vehicle is operated in extremely arduous conditions, more frequent attention must be paid to servicing requirements.
Arduous driving conditions include:
No modifications or additions should be made to the anti-theft system. Such changes could cause the system to malfunction, which increases the risk of theft.
The components that make up the airbag system are sensitive to electrical or physical interference. Electrical and/or physical interference could easily damage the system and cause inadvertent operation or a malfunction of the airbag module. Airbags should only be repaired by an authorized repairer. If the airbags are not repaired correctly, they may not operate correctly during a collision, which may lead to serious injury or death.
To prevent malfunction of the airbag system, always consult a retailer/authorized repairer before fitting any of the following:
The fitting of non-approved parts and accessories, or the carrying out of non-approved alterations or conversions, may be dangerous. Doing so could affect the safety of the vehicle and occupants, and also invalidate the terms and conditions of the vehicle’s warranty.
All replacement parts for the Air Conditioning (A/C) system should be new and equivalent to the manufacturer’s original equipment while complying with the SAE standards. Contact a retailer/authorized repairer for advice. Failure to adhere to the above may lead to serious injury or death.
The extremely flammable symbol may be used on an under-bonnet label. The symbol is relevant to the Air Conditioning (A/C) refrigerant fluid. The symbol identifies flammable chemicals that have low flash and boiling points and gases that catch fire when exposed to air. Jaguar Land Rover Limited accepts no liability for death, personal injury, or damage to property, occurring as a direct result of non-approved modifications. These modifications include but are not limited to: the fitment of non-approved accessories and the carrying out of non-approved conversions to the vehicle.
Any dynamometer testing should only be carried out by a qualified person, familiar with the dynamometer testing and safety procedures practiced by retailers/authorized repairers.
Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood. Failure to comply with the safety instructions could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
If the vehicle has been driven recently, do not touch the engine, exhaust, or cooling system components until the engine has cooled. Handling any of these components when hot may cause personal injury.
Never leave the engine running when the vehicle is in a garage. Exhaust gases are poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death if inhaled.
Do not work beneath the vehicle with the wheel-changing jack as the only means of support. The jack is designed for wheel changing only. Never work beneath the vehicle with the jack as the only means of support. To avoid injury, always use correctly-rated vehicle support stands, before putting any part of the body beneath the vehicle.
Keep your hands and clothing away from drive belts, pulleys, and fans. Some fans may continue to operate after the engine has stopped. Always pay attention to fans in operation to avoid personal injury.
Remove metal wristbands and jewelry, before working in the engine compartment. Failure to do so can lead to serious injury or death.
Do not touch electrical leads or components while the engine is running, or with the ignition turned on. Doing so may result in electric shock.
Do not allow tools or metal parts of the vehicle to make contact with the battery leads or terminals. Such contacts may result in serious personal injury or death.
Fluids used in motor vehicles are poisonous and should not be consumed or brought into contact with open wounds. Vehicle fluids may cause serious injuries or infection, which can result in death. For safety, always read and obey all instructions printed on labels and containers.
Prolonged contact with engine oil may cause serious skin disorders, including dermatitis and cancer of the skin. Always wash thoroughly after contact.
Pollution of drains, waterways, or soil is illegal. Use authorized waste disposal sites to dispose of used oil and toxic chemicals.
Before opening the hood, make sure that the ignition is switched off and the smart key is removed from the vehicle. Failure to do so can potentially result in serious injury or death.
To open the hood:
Before closing the hood, make sure that no one is obstructing the closing area and that hands and clothes are clear. The closing hood may cause serious injuries.
Do not drive with the hood secured by the safety catch alone. If the hood opens while driving, it may lead to a collision, which may cause serious injuries or death.
When closing the hood, make sure to stand in front of the vehicle. Do not attempt to close the hood while standing at the side of the vehicle. Doing so may result in incorrect latching of the hood, which may cause serious injuries or death.
To close the hood:
Before refitting the under-bonnet covers, make sure that no pipes, cables, or other items have been trapped between the cover and the casing.
To refit the under-bonnet covers:
Under no circumstances should any part of the fuel system be dismantled or replaced by anyone other than a suitably qualified vehicle technician. If any parts are replaced by an unqualified person, this may cause interference in the operation of the vehicle, leading to serious injury or death.
Make sure sparks and open flames are kept away from the engine compartment. A spark may cause an explosion, which may lead to serious injuries or death.
Wear protective clothing, including, where possible, gloves made from an impervious material. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
If fuel odor is detected, switch off the vehicle and exit as soon as possible. Contact a suitably qualified vehicle technician. Failure to do so could lead to serious injuries or death.
Do not attempt to change any bulb with the lighting switched on. If the lighting has just been switched off, give the bulbs time to cool down. Handling them in a hot condition may cause personal injury.
All lights that are either LED or xenon units must only be replaced by a retailer/authorized repairer.
Before attempting to replace a bulb, make sure that both the affected light and the vehicle’s ignition are switched off. If the circuit remains life, a short circuit can occur which may damage the vehicle’s electrical system.
Always replace bulbs with the correct type and specification. If in any doubt, contact a retailer/authorized repairer for advice.
In certain places, it is a legal requirement to carry spare bulbs. A replacement bulb kit is available as an approved accessory from a retailer/authorized repairer.
To avoid damage to the hood, do not lift the wiper blades when they are in the normal parked position.
The smart key must remain in the vehicle while the wiper blades are being replaced.
Fit only replacement wiper blades that are identical to the original specification.
Replace the wiper blades in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Before changing a wiper blade, the wiper arms must be set in the service position as follows:
The following procedure also resets the panoramic roof.
The roof blind needs to be reset if the battery is disconnected, becomes discharged, or the power supply is interrupted. The reset procedure is as follows:
The panoramic roof/blind can now be operated as normal.
The windows need to be reset if the battery is disconnected, becomes discharged, or the power supply is interrupted.
If the battery is disconnected or the power supply is interrupted while the sunroof is partially open, it may need to be recalibrated.
Once the battery is reconnected or the power supply is restored, recalibrate the sunroof as follows:
The front blind opens first and the rear blind closes last.
The sunroof can now be operated as normal.
