How do I jump start my car listed above? Where do I hook up the cables? Can I use a trickle charger to recharge the battery?

To jump start the vehicle, there will be a positive post in the engine compartment with a ground post or just ground off the chassis. Your owners manual will show you the location if you can not find it.

As for charging the battery, if it is a regular battery you can trickle charge it. If it is a gel battery then you need a special charger to charge it. I do not believe this one has a gel battery, but you should call Jaguar and verify with parts.
