BATTERY CARE
!
WARNING:
• The cell plugs and vent pipe must
be in place at all times when the
battery is in the vehicle. Failure to
fit, or incorrect fitting of these items
is potentially hazardous. Ensure
that the vent pipe is free from kinks
or damage.
• If battery acid comes into contact
with skin or eyes immediately rinse
with cold water and consult a
doctor.
• Never charge or boost a frozen
battery.
• Switch off ignition before
disconnecting battery terminals.
Always disconnect the ground
terminal first and reconnect last.
• Do not let battery acid come into
contact with painted surfaces or
fabric.
• California Proposition 65:
Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories, contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after
handling.
A low maintenance battery specifically
designed for use with this vehicle is fitted
in the luggage compartment.
In hot climates more frequent checks of
the battery electrolyte level are required. If
necessary, the battery cells can be
topped up with distilled water.
The exterior of the battery should be
occasionally wiped clean to remove any
dirt or grease.
Note: Do not connect any 12 volt
equipment, (for example, a 12 volt lamp),
directly to the battery terminals. Use the
accessory socket located in the glove box
for connecting Jaguar approved
accessories.
Replacement batteries
!
WARNING:
Only fit a replacement battery of the
same type and specification as the
original - other batteries may vary in
size or have different terminal
positions which could cause a fire
hazard when connected to the
vehicle’s electrical system.
Battery disposal
Used batteries should be recycled.
However, batteries are hazardous - you
should seek advice about disposal from a
Jaguar Dealer or your local authority.
USING BOOSTER CABLES
!
WARNING:
• Always wear appropriate eye
protection when working with
batteries.
• During normal use, batteries emit
explosive hydrogen gas - ensure
sparks and naked lights are kept
away from the engine
compartment.
• Do not attempt to start the vehicle if
the electrolyte in the battery is
suspected of being frozen.
