Got a 2014 off lease. It arrived with NO tools in the trunk other than the tyre air pump. Could someone provide a list of what should be there? I need to make sure that I get everything I need. And OH, it didn't have the manuals either.

Thanks

 

if you don't have a spare tire then there aren't tools. In conjunction to the air pump, there should be a bottle of "fix a flat" in underneath the battery compartment tray lid. If you get a flat, you connect the bottle to the pump and it basically seals the puncture with goop from the inside so you can get to a proper service station.

As for the manuals, you should go back to the dealer that sold the car to you or they are available to download on the Jaguar website as PDFs.

 

Only 2 tools needed: cell phone and AAA card.

 

Or on the 2016 push the little spanner button in the headliner cluster and wait for Jaguar Assistance ?

 

Yeah, I was a little miffed that a $100,00 car doesn't have one tool. Nothing, nada, zip, zilch... But I guess at this level, they don't expect that you will lift a finger to fix anything? Just lift that finger to call for help

 

There is a spot for the wheel lock key also.

 

In addition to the "fix a flat" glue, compressor and wheel lock, I also had a big threaded eyelet bolt (for towing if I recall correctly). I am not sure if it is supposed to be in the trunk, but mine was. Also, mine is a 2015 - not sure about other years.

 

2014 here. There is indeed a tow hook in one of the flush panel compartments left of the battery compartment

 

Carrying a spare on a trip is not an option unless you want to FEDEX your luggage! I did buy a jack and lug wrench from Jaguar, along with a flat repair kit. This way, if I get a flat, I can raise the car to locate the issue, and use a plug to seal it. Beats running the tire goop into the tire. I had to do this once on my MINI and it took 15 minutes in total, a lot more time efficient than waiting for a tow truck or AAA. Now if teh tire is beyond repair, well there is no option but to call a tow.

 

Where is that?

 

I have two tow hooks.

 

Better yet!

 

Right next to the depression for holding the tire goop.

 

The small one for the rear is to be discarded and never used (though I still have mine as well). It was designed to be used for initial vehicle shipping only.

 

Geico really does have a great alternative w/ their app. Flatbeds are not extra. About $9-$12/year.
