Resetting the tyre pressure warning light on your Jaguar
Jaguars with a warning system have sensors in each wheel, and all new ones have had it since 2014.
- Inflate all four tyres, cold, to the recommended pressures. The instrument panel's Tyre Pressures menu shows them.
- If your car has a TPM Load Setting (under Vehicle Information > Tyre Information), set it to match the pressures you used.
- There's no reset. Drive for at least 15 minutes above about 16 mph and the system recalibrates.
When to reset: No reset needed: it relearns by itself on a drive.
Menu names vary by model and year, so check your handbook if yours looks different. More in what the warning light means.

What tyre pressure should a XF have?
32 psi at the front and 30 psi at the rear (2.2 and 2.1 bar) on the standard 18-inch wheels, with the tyres cold.
Should I use a higher pressure when the car is loaded?
The manufacturer gives one figure for this car, so no. If you're carrying a full load for a long motorway run, the label on the door pillar may show a higher figure — follow that if it does.
What tyre size does the XF use?
245/45R18. The size is on the tyre's sidewall, e.g. 235/40R18.
Does the Jaguar XF (2015 on) fail the MOT on tyres more often?
No, it's about average for its age. In 2025, 6.8% of Jaguar XF (2015 on) MOT tests failed on tyres, against 6.2% for cars of the same age (DVSA MOT data, 36,080 tests). Another 23.9% passed with a tyre advisory.
Check them cold. Pressures are set for tyres that haven't been driven more than a mile or two. After a run they read 3–4 psi high.
Once a month, and before a long trip. Tyres lose about 1 psi a month on their own.
The sticker wins. If your car's door-pillar or fuel-flap label says something different, go with that — it knows your exact spec.
