Bluetooth:
Optional Bluetooth hands-free system for mobile phones, integrated with the audio system.
Can Bus:
Utilizes a multi-plexed CAN bus network for communication between various control modules, a key area covered by this electrical guide.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months, whichever comes first (check manual for exact specification).
Major Service Interval:
Timing chain replacement (for V6 engines) usually around 100,000 miles; coolant flush and transmission fluid change recommended around 60,000-80,000 miles.
Engine Oil Spec:
API SN, ACEA A5/B5, SAE 5W-30 (Castrol EDGE Professional A5 is often specified by Jaguar).
Transmission Fluid Spec:
Mercon V or equivalent for automatic transmission (e.g., ZF LifeguardFluid 5).
