You shouldn’t; a failing battery can cause stalling or system faults, so arrange service or towing right away.
Once voltage drops, the 2016 Jaguar XJ’s safety and infotainment systems may behave unpredictably. Short trips won’t reliably recharge a weak battery, and jump-starts are a temporary measure. It’s safer to test and replace the battery promptly to protect control modules and avoid being stranded.

- Voltage-related warning lights may appear
- Schedule service or call for assistance
