If the engine persistently fails to start and
flooding is suspected, depress the
accelerator pedal fully, hold it in this
position and turn the key to position ‘III’
for six seconds. Release the key, remove
your foot from the accelerator pedal and
then attempt to restart the engine.
Note: The engine cannot start whilst the
pedal is fully depressed, it must be
released to enable the engine to start.
It is possible that the fuel system inertia
switch may have tripped, see page 6-1
for the resetting procedure.
If the engine still fails to start, switch the
ignition OFF and contact a Jaguar Dealer.
To stop the engine and lock
the steering
Turn the key from position ‘II’ to the
‘lock’ position ‘0’. This turns off the
ignition and stops the engine. The
steering will be locked when the key is
removed from the switch.
Leaving the key in position ‘I’ or ‘II’ will
discharge the battery.
