Vehicle Care
R
Jaguar Screen Wash – Washer reservoir
additive.
Jaguar Winter Care Kit comprising
de-icer, ice scraper, anti-mist wipe cloth
and aerial cleaner – for use in adverse
weather conditions.
Cleaning the rear screen
To avoid damaging the heating elements,
when cleaning the inside of the rear
screen use only a soft damp cloth or
chamois leather. Do not use solvents or
sharp objects to clean the glass.
Care of alloy road wheels
The alloy road wheels are covered with a
protective anti-corrosion coating. To
prevent corrosion it is essential that this
coating is not damaged.
When removing or fitting tires always
advise the tire fitter to treat the alloy
wheels with great care. Tire levers must
not be used.
Wash the wheels regularly with soap and
water to avoid an accumulation of
particles. In salty conditions the wheels
should be cleaned more frequently.
Jaguar acid-free wheel cleaner can be
used to remove heavy soiling. Do not use
non-approved acid based cleaners.
Removing Grease and Tar
Remove grease or tar with Jaguar Tar
Remover or methylated spirit (alcohol).
White spirit is also effective, but must not
be applied to rubber, particularly the
windshield wiper blades.
Bird Droppings
Do not allow bird droppings or tree sap to
harden. Remove from paintwork
immediately with a lukewarm soap and
water solution.
Polishing
For maximum protection against road
dust, salts, industrial fall-out etc., it is
recommended that the vehicle is polished
regularly using Jaguar polish and a
polishing cloth.
Note: The vehicle’s brightwork should be
cleaned in the same way as the paintwork:
Chrome polish or other abrasive cleaners
must not be used.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Caution: To prevent airbag damage,
the steering wheel centre pad and
other areas containing airbags should
only be cleaned sparingly with a damp
cloth, warm water and a non-detergent
soap. Do not allow these areas to be
flooded with chemical solvents, liquids,
furniture cream or polishes.
Leather
Leather is an easy to maintain natural
product, however, dust and substances
can penetrate the pores and crease the
leather, causing surface wear and
brittleness.
To prevent ingrained dirt and staining,
inspect the seat upholstery regularly and
clean every one to two months as follows:
Wipe off fine dust from the seat
surfaces using a clean, damp,
non-coloured cloth. Change
frequently to a clean area of cloth to
avoid abrasive action on the leather
surface. Avoid over-wetting.
If this is not sufficient, use a cloth
which has been dampened with warm
soapy water and then wrung out. Use
only mild non-caustic soap.
