Fuel and refuelling
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not smoke, use a naked flame or cause
sparks while refuelling. The resulting fire
and/or explosion may cause serious injury or
death.
Avoid exposing the gasses to any potential
sources of ignition as the resulting fire and
explosion may cause serious injuries and/or
death.
Switch off the engine when refuelling, as it is
both a source of extreme temperatures and
electrical sparks. Failure to do so may cause
a fire or explosion.
Switch off any personal electronic devices
such as mobile phones, or music players.
They have the potential to trigger an
explosion or a fire.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Overfilling may
cause spillage when the vehicle is driven.
Spillage may also occur if the fuel expands in
high ambient temperatures.
Do not use leaded fuels, lead substitutes or fuel
additives.
Fuel system cleaning agents should not be
used, unless approved by Jaguar. Unapproved
products may be harmful to fuel system
components on your vehicle.
Only use high quality fuel. Using lower quality
fuels can damage the engine, fuel and emission
control systems.
OCTANE RATING
Premium unleaded gasoline with a Cost of
Living Council (CLC) or Anti Knock Index (AKI)
octane rating of 91 or higher should be used.
Even a very small amount of leaded fuel will
damage your vehicle’s emission control
system and could invalidate the emissions
warranty. In addition, leaded fuel will damage
the oxygen sensors in the fuel injection system
and also seriously damage the catalytic
converter.
Note: Federal law requires that gasoline octane
ratings be posted on the pumps.
Using unleaded fuel with a lower than
recommended octane rating, can cause a
persistent, heavy engine knock (a metallic
rapping noise). If severe, this can lead to
engine damage.
Note: Mid or regular grade gasoline with a CLC
or AKI octane rating of not lower than 87 may
also be used, but performance and fuel
economy will be reduced.
If heavy knock is detected, even when using
fuel with the recommended octane rating,
consult your Dealer/Authorized Repairer to
have the problem corrected. Failure to do so is
misuse of the vehicle, for which Jaguar cars is
not responsible.
Note: An occasional light engine knock when
accelerating or climbing hills is acceptable.
ETHANOL
This vehicle is not suitable for use with fuels
containing more than 10% ethanol. Do not use
E85 fuels (85% Ethanol content). Equipment
necessary for the use of fuels containing more
than 10% Ethanol is not fitted to this vehicle. If
E85 fuels are used, serious engine and fuels
system damage will occur.
