7-20 Maintenance
Winter (snow) tyres
The tyres fitted as original equipment are
designed with a rubber compound, tread
pattern and width specially suited for
high speeds in normal road conditions,
but they are less suitable during extremes
of low temperatures, snow and ice. The
use of winter tyres will considerably
improve the vehicle’s handling during
these conditions.
It is recommended that only Jaguar
approved winter tyres are used, as
follows:
Pirelli 205/55R 16
or
Continental 205/55R 16
Pirelli 225/45R 17
Tyre directional indicators must be
rotating in a clockwise direction when
viewed from the right-hand side of the
vehicle, and anti-clockwise when viewed
from the left-hand side of the vehicle.
Do not exceed 210 km/h when using
Jaguar approved winter tyres.
Winter tyres must be used in vehicle sets,
that is, fitted on all four wheels.
Tyres other than those recommended
must be inflated to the following cold
inflation pressure (front and rear):
3,0 bar (3,1 kg/cm
2 , 300 KPa).
In the event of using non-Jaguar approved
winter tyres, inflate to the above
recommended tyre pressure and do not
exceed the tyre’s speed capability.
Snow chains
Snow chains, of the recommended type,
may only be fitted to 16 inch front
wheels.
Caution: Snow chains must not be
fitted to 17 inch wheels.
Contact your Jaguar Dealer for details and
availability of approved snow chains.
The maximum speed when using snow
chains is 48 km/h.
Remove the snow chains immediately the
roads are clear of snow.
Ensure the fitting instructions supplied
with the snow chains are kept in a safe
place, for example, with this literature
pack.
Note: Dynamic Stability Control MUST
be switched OFF when using snow chains.
