Vehicle recovery

TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE

Jaguar strongly recommend that the
vehicle is recovered by use of a slide-bed
recovery transporter only.

Transporting

When the vehicle is transported the park
brake must be applied, the wheels
chocked and the gear selector lever
moved to position N or D but never to P.

While the vehicle is being loaded, the
Jaguar Smart Key should be placed in the
starter control unit. This will prevent the
steering lock activating.

The vehicle must be securely tied down
to the transporter or trailer. Use straps on
the front wheels and tyres to secure the
vehicle for transportation.

The towing eye is not designed for
securing the vehicle during
transportation.

E91737

CAUTIONS

Ensure that the recovery team do
not tow with sling-type,
spectacle-type or towing dolly

equipment as damage to the front or rear
underside bodywork may result.

If the vehicle has defective
transmission, to prevent further
damage, it must be towed with the

rear wheels clear of the ground.

WARNING

Without the engine running, the
brake servo and power steering
pump cannot provide assistance:

greater effort will therefore be required to
operate the brake pedal and turn the
steering wheel. Longer stopping
distances will also be experienced.

Vehicle recovery

L

The removable towing eye is primarily for
emergency use when towing for short
distances, e.g. removing the vehicle if it is
causing an obstruction or for winching
the vehicle onto a recovery transporter.
To prevent damage while the vehicle is
being towed with the rear wheels on the
ground, towing distance must be
restricted to 0.8 kilometres (0.5 miles).
Towing speed must not exceed 48 km/h
(30 mph).

When being towed, the transmission
must be in neutral (N) with the ignition
system switched to convenience mode
to release the steering lock and render
the indicators, horn and brake lamps
operational.
