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.
