7-4 Maintenance
Regular checks
In the interests of safety and reliability, it
is advisable to carry out the following
checks at the recommended intervals,
and always before starting on a long
journey.
Daily
Check that there is sufficient fuel for the
journey intended, particularly at night
and before entering motorways.
Weekly
Tyres – Check the tyres, including the
spare, for condition and pressure. Tyre
pressures are shown inside the front
cover of this handbook.
Lights – Check that all exterior lights and
direction indicators function correctly
and that the lenses are clean.
Engine oil – With the vehicle standing
on level ground, check the oil level and
replenish if necessary with oil of the
correct grade.
Engine coolant – With the engine cold,
check the level of the coolant in the
coolant reservoir header tank. Any loss of
fluid must be checked by a Jaguar Dealer.
Brake/clutch fluid – Check the level of
the fluid in the brake fluid reservoir.
Replenish if necessary with new, unused
Jaguar approved brake fluid.
The reservoir is initially nearly full, but
the level will drop as the brake pads
wear. If the level appears unusually low,
location of the fluid leakage must be
checked by a Jaguar Dealer.
Power steering fluid – With the engine
cold check the level of the fluid in the
power steering fluid reservoir. Replenish
if necessary with fluid of the correct
specification. Any loss of fluid should be
checked by a Jaguar Dealer.
Monthly
Windscreen washer fluid – Replenish
with recommended windscreen washer
fluid and clean soft water. Check the
operation of the washer. Use Jaguar
Windscreen Washer Fluid to keep the
glass clean and also to prevent the fluid
from freezing during cold weather.
Wiper blades – Check the quality of the
wipe. If smearing or juddering is evident,
clean the windscreen and renew the
wiper blades.
