PRECAUTIONS

!

WARNING:

Alterations to the electrical system,
including the fitting of accessories not
designed for this Jaguar, will cause
damage to the electrical circuits and
systems. In some circumstances this
could result in a malfunction or fire. All
accessory work should be entrusted to
a Jaguar Dealer.

Caution: Under no circumstances must
the power supply be obtained directly
from either battery terminal.

Caution: The use of non-approved
accessories can reduce the battery
capacity and charge period to an
unacceptable level, therefore, Jaguar
cannot accept any liability for the
fitment of any such item.

EARTH POINTS

If an accessory needs to be connected to
an earth point, consult a Jaguar Dealer.

Under no circumstances must holes be
drilled in the bodywork to accept earth
terminals.
