Vehicle Recovery

TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE

Jaguar strongly recommend that the
vehicle is recovered by use of a slide-bed
recovery transporter only.

Caution:
Ensure that the recovery team do

not tow with sling-type,
spectacle-type or towing dolly
equipment as damage to the front
or rear underside bodywork may
result.

If the vehicle has an inoperable

transmission, to prevent further
damage, it must be towed with the
rear wheels clear of the ground.

Transporting

If the vehicle is being transported the
parkbrake must be applied, the wheels
chocked and the gear selector lever
moved to position N or D but never to P.

While the vehicle is being loaded, the
Jaguar Smart Key should be placed in the
starter control unit. This will prevent the
steering lock activating.

The vehicle must be securely tied down to
the transporter or trailer. Use straps on
the front wheels and tires to secure the
vehicle for transportation.

The towing eye is not designed for
securing the vehicle during
transportation.
