Fuel and refuelling
149
Fuels containing up to 10% Ethanol (grain
alcohol) may be used. Ensure that the fuel has
octane ratings no lower than those
recommended for unleaded fuel. Most drivers
will not notice any operating difference with
fuel containing Ethanol. If a difference is
detected, the use of conventional unleaded fuel
should be resumed.
METHANOL
Wherever possible avoid using fuel containing
Methanol.
Some fuels contain Methanol (Methyl or wood
alcohol). If you use fuels containing Methanol
the fuels must also contain co-solvents and
corrosion inhibitors for Methanol. Also, do not
use fuels which contain more than 10%
Methanol even if they contain co-solvents and
corrosion inhibitors. Fuel system damage or
vehicle performance problems resulting from
the use of such fuels is not the responsibility of
Jaguar, and may not be covered under the
warranty.
METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER
(MTBE)
Unleaded fuel containing an oxygenate known
as MTBE can be used provided that the ratio of
MTBE to conventional fuel does not exceed
15%. MTBE is an Ether based compound
derived from Petroleum, which has been
specified by several refiners as the substance
to enhance the Octane rating of fuel.
REFORMULATED GASOLINE
Fuels specially formulated to further reduce
vehicle emissions are available from some
petroleum companies. Jaguar recommends
the use of reformulated gasoline where
available.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Avoid running out of fuel.
If the vehicle does run out of fuel, a minimum
of 1.1 U.S. gallons (4 litres) will be required to
restart the engine. The vehicle should be left
with the ignition on for 5 minutes after
refuelling before attempting to restart the
engine.
Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel,
seeking qualified assistance is advisable.
FUEL FILLER FLAP
The vehicle must be unlocked using the Smart
Key before the filler flap can be opened.
To open the fuel filler flap, press and release
the rear of the flap to unlatch and then pull the
flap open.
To close the filler flap, push the flap until
latched closed.
Note: The filler flap will only be locked closed
when the vehicle is centrally locked.
FUEL FILLER
Take note of all warnings and instructions
given on the label affixed to the inside of the
fuel filler flap. Failure to do so may result in
injury or death.
When refuelling ensure that all windows,
doors, and sunroof are fully closed,
particularly if young children or animals are
in the vehicle.
