Foreign travel
Before planning foreign travel, check with
a motoring organisation to ensure that
your vehicle will comply with legal
requirements of the countries you intend
to visit.
It is advisable to carry vital spare parts to
ensure against a breakdown in a remote
area.
International motoring organisations are
helpful for all aspects of long distance
touring advice.
In some countries it is a legal requirement
to carry spare vehicle bulbs.
First aid kit
A first aid kit is compulsory equipment in
certain countries. Your Jaguar Dealer can
supply a first aid kit.
Fire extinguishers
Many countries make it compulsory to
carry a fire extinguisher. Your Jaguar
Dealer can supply and fit one.
Petroleum spirit in containers
Some countries forbid the carrying of
petrol in containers, as do most ferry and
hovercraft operators.
Cellular radio telephones
Ask your motoring organisation about the
use of cellular radio telephones before
travelling abroad, as some countries
exercise controls on the importation and
use of such equipment.

The maximum load, including the weight
of the rack, must not exceed the load
rating indicated on the roof rack bars and
must be deducted from the vehicle
maximum luggage load.
Loads on the roof-rack may affect vehicle

Jaguar warning triangle
A warning triangle to give traffic
advanced notice of a disabled vehicle is
compulsory in many countries. A triangle,
designed to international standards is

Hazard warning lights must be used with
the warning triangle.
The warning triangle with its stand legs
folded flat, is mounted on the inside of
the luggage compartment lid.
In an emergency, remove the triangle and

the road in accordance with local traffic
regulations to give oncoming traffic
warning of an immobilised vehicle.
