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.
