HEALTH AND SAFETY

DATA RECORDING

Service data recording

Service data recorders in your vehicle are
capable of collecting and storing
diagnostic information about your
vehicle. This potentially includes
information about the performance or
status of various systems and modules in
the vehicle such as engine, throttle,
steering or brakes.

In order to properly diagnose and service
your vehicle, Jaguar Cars Limited and
service and repair facilities may access
vehicle diagnostic information through a
direct connection to your vehicle.

Event data recording

Event data recorders are capable of
collecting and storing data during a crash
or near-crash event. The recorded
information may assist in the
investigation of such an event. The
modules may record information about
both the vehicle and the occupants,
potentially including information such as:
• How various systems in your vehicle

were operating.

• Whether or not the driver and

passenger seat belts were buckled.

• How far, if at all, the driver was

depressing the accelerator and/or the
brake pedal.

• How fast the vehicle was travelling.
• Where the driver was positioning the

steering wheel.

WARNINGS

The vehicle should not be parked
over long dry grass or other
combustible material, particularly

during dry weather. As the heat
generated by the exhaust and emission
control systems may be sufficient to start
a fire.

Before exiting the vehicle, ensure
the P park is selected and the
parking brake is applied. When

exiting the vehicle make sure that the
Jaguar Smart Key is removed from the
vehicle.

Many liquids and other
substances used in vehicles are
poisonous and should never be

consumed and must be kept away from
open wounds. These substances include
anti-freeze, brake fluid, fuel, windshield
washer additives, lubricants and various
adhesives.

PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

The vehicle has been designed, built and
tested to cope with a variety of driving
conditions, some of which can place the
severest possible demands on control
systems and components. As such,
fitting replacement parts and accessories
that have been developed and tested to
the same stringent standards as the
original components will safeguard the
continued reliability, safety and
performance of your vehicle.

To augment the vehicle's already
impressive performance, a
comprehensive range of Jaguar
approved spare parts and accessories is
available.

Jaguar parts are the only parts built to
original equipment specifications and
approved by Jaguar designers; this
means that every single part and
accessory has been rigorously tested by
the same engineering team that designed
and built the vehicle.

A full list and description of all
accessories is available from your Jaguar
Dealer.

WARNINGS

The fitting of non-approved parts
and accessories, or the carrying
out of non-approved alterations or

conversions, may be dangerous and
could affect the safety of the vehicle and
occupants and also invalidate the terms
and conditions of the vehicle warranty.

Jaguar will not accept any liability
for death, personal injury or
damage to property which may

occur as a direct result of fitment of
non-approved accessories or the
carrying out of non-approved
conversions to Jaguar vehicles.

Jaguar strongly advise against
making any modifications to the
suspension or steering system.

This could seriously affect the handling
and stability of the vehicle leading to loss
of control or rollover.
