1-4 Owner information
Regular servicing
Each vehicle is given a full ‘Pre-Delivery
Inspection’ to ensure that all systems
function correctly and that the vehicle
meets its specification.
Owners are responsible for the regular
maintenance and servicing of the vehicle.
Jaguar Dealers will be pleased to arrange
periodic servicing and can provide you
with details of tasks carried out at each
service interval.
Failure to implement maintenance at the
recommended intervals could result in
deterioration of vehicle performance and
possible infringement of regulations.
Regular routine maintenance not only
helps to prevent unnecessary
‘breakdowns’ and inconvenience, but
enhances the ‘trade in’ or resale value of
the vehicle.
Jaguar diagnostic system
Many of the vehicle systems are
controlled by complex electronic devices.
Specialist equipment is required to trace
and rectify faults in the systems and
ensure that only faulty components are
repaired or replaced.
Caution:
Severe damage to the
electrical system and electronic
components can occur if any attempt
is made to diagnose faults in the
electrical system using conventional
diagnostic equipment (for example,
the use of test lamps or low
impedance voltmeters). The fitting of
any electrical accessory should only
be entrusted to a Jaguar Dealer.
Vehicle identification
Vehicle identification number (VIN)
It is essential that the Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN) is quoted in
all correspondence and when ordering
replacement parts.
The number is visible from outside the
vehicle, on a plate in the lower left edge
of the windscreen.
Vehicles have the Certification Label
adhered to the left-hand front door hinge
post. Vehicle weights, paint code
manufacture date and the VIN are shown
on this plate.
Engine number
Stamped on a raised/machined boss
above the oil pan seam directly behind
the oil filter adapter plate.
Transmission number
On a metal label or bar code label
attached to the transmission casing.
