BRAKE FLUID CHECK
The fluid is visible through the translucent
casing of the reservoir and must be
maintained at the MAX mark.
Topping up:
1. Remove the reservoir top cover
2. Clean the reservoir and cap
thoroughly with a lint free cloth to
ensure that no foreign matter enters
the reservoir.
3. Unscrew the filler cap and top up to
the MAX level using brake fluid to
specification Shell DOT 4 ESL or low
viscosity DOT 4 brake fluid that meets
ISO 4925 class 6 specification. Only
fluid of this type and standard may be
used.
4. Refit the filler cap securely and refit
the cover.
Pedal free travel: The brake pedal free
travel is 12.0 mm (0.47 inches).
WARNING
The fluid level will drop as the
brake pads wear. If the level is
very low the brake warning
indicator will illuminate and a message
BRAKE FLUID LOW will be displayed.
Seek qualified assistance immediately.
Do not drive the vehicle until the cause is
rectified as driving under such conditions
could result in extended stopping
distances or complete brake failure.
E93872
CAUTION
While handling brake fluid, take
extreme care; brake fluid can damage
the vehicle paintwork.
Always use fresh, clean fluid from a new
container. Never introduce used brake
fluid into the system.

POWER STEERING FLUID
CHECK
Checking the fluid level
Check the fluid level when the engine is
cold and the vehicle is on a flat, level
surface.
The fluid level should be between the
MIN and the MAX marks.
Topping up the fluid
1. Wipe clean and remove the filler cap
from the reservoir; take great care to
prevent any foreign matter from
entering.
2. Check that the fluid level is between
the marks on the reservoir dipstick.
WARNINGS
Power steering fluid is highly
toxic. Keep containers sealed and
out of reach of children. If
accidental consumption of fluid is
suspected, seek medical attention
immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with
the skin or eyes, rinse immediately
with plenty of water.
CAUTIONS
The engine must not be started if
the fluid level has dropped below
the MIN mark. Severe damage to
the steering pump could result.
Seek qualified assistance
immediately if there is a noticeable
drop in the fluid level. Severe
damage to the steering pump could
result.
If fluid loss is slow, the reservoir
may be topped-up to the upper
level mark to enable the vehicle to
be driven to a repair facility for
examination. However, it is
recommended that you seek qualified
assistance before driving the vehicle.
CAUTIONS
It is imperative that the power
steering system does not become
contaminated in any way. Always
use new fluid and clean the area around
the reservoir neck both before and after
topping up. Never return drained fluid to
the system.
Power steering fluid will damage
painted surfaces. Soak up any
spillage with an absorbent cloth
immediately and wash the area with a
mixture of car shampoo and water.
Do not fill the reservoir above the
MAX mark.

3. If necessary, top-up with DEXRON III
power steering fluid. Do not overfill.
4. Refit the filler cap.
WASHER FLUID CHECK
The washer reservoir contains fluid for
the windshield washers and the
headlamp powerwash system. Fill with
Jaguar Windshield Washer Fluid diluted
with clean water as specified in the
instructions on the bottle. Do not overfill.
Using a non-approved fluid may
adversely affect the wiper blade rubber,
resulting in ineffectual and noisy wiping.
Check and top-up the reservoir level at
least every week. Always top-up with
windshield washer fluid to prevent
freezing.
Operate the washer switches periodically
to check that the nozzles are clear and
properly directed.
Topping up the fluid
1. Clean the filler cap before removing
to prevent dirt from entering the
reservoir.
2. Remove filler cap.
3. Top-up the reservoir until the fluid is
visible in the filler neck.
4. Replace filler cap.
WARNINGS
Some windshield washer
products are toxic and in
concentrated form is flammable,
particularly if high or undiluted
concentrations are exposed to sparking.
Do not allow windshield washer fluid to
come into contact with naked flames or
sources of ignition.
Under no circumstances must
cooling system antifreeze be
used, as this will damage the
paintwork.
If the vehicle is operated in
temperatures below 4°C (40°F),
use a washer fluid with frost
protection. In cold weather, failure to use
a washer fluid with frost protection,
could result in impaired vision and
increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
CAUTIONS
Do not use an antifreeze or
vinegar/water solution in the
washer reservoir - antifreeze will
damage painted surfaces, while vinegar
can damage the windshield washer
pump.
Body panels may suffer
discolouration as a result of
windshield washer fluid spillage.
Take care to avoid spillage, particularly if
an undiluted or high concentration is
being used. If spillage occurs, wash the
affected area immediately with water.
