!
WARNING:
Do not use a fire extinguisher closer
than 2.4 m (8 feet) to the base of a liquid
fire as the force may splatter the
burning liquid to the surrounding area.
Dealer Fitted Fire Extinguisher
Your Jaguar Dealer can supply and fit
one.
Factory Fitted Fire Extinguisher
Mexican vehicles have a factory fitted fire
extinguisher which contains 1.0 kg (2.2 lb)
of BC powder pressurised with nitrogen
to a working pressure of 12 bar (180 psi)
at 20°C (68°F).
This extinguisher can be used on liquid
fires, electrical equipment fires and, if no
explosion risk, gasoline fires.
To operate the fire extinguisher, follow the
instructions as stated on the extinguisher.
Do not test the fire extinguisher prior to
use. Partial discharge will render the
extinguisher inoperative.
Maintenance
Every six months:
• Remove the extinguisher from its
bracket and check that the nozzle is
clear.
• Check that any fitted safety devices
are secure.
• If fitted, check pressure gauge is
reading within limits. If the gauge is
indicating incorrect limits, the
extinguisher may not work in an
emergency. Seek qualified assistance
immediately.
WARNING TRIANGLE
A warning triangle, designed to
international standards, is standard
equipment in certain countries.
Coupe: The warning triangle is stowed
under the luggage compartment load
floor.
Convertible: The warning triangle is
stowed in the luggage compartment lid.
Mexico only: The two warning triangles
are stored in a bag stowed in the luggage
compartment.
In an emergency, remove the triangle(s)
and unfold its stand legs. Place the
triangle(s) in the road in accordance with
local traffic regulations to give oncoming
traffic warning of an immobilised vehicle.
Hazard warning lights must be used with
the warning triangle.
