. is committed to produce the vehicles
using environmentally sustainable technology. A number of
features have been incorporated in Tata Motors passenger
vehicles which have been designed to ensure environmental
compatibility throughout the life cycle of the vehicle. We would
like to inform you that your vehicle meets emission norms and
this is being regularly validated at the manufacturing stages.
As a user you too can protect the environment by operating
your vehicle in a proactive manner. A lot depends on your
driving style and the way you maintain your car. We have
given few tips below for your guidance.
DRIVING DRIVINGDRIVING DRIVING

¾Avoid frequent and violent accelerations.
¾Do not carry any unnecessary weight on the vehicle as
it overloads the engine. Avoid using devices requiring
high power consumption during slow city traffic
condition.
¾Monitor the vehicle’s fuel consumption regularly and if
showing rising trend get the vehicle immediately
attended at the Company’s Authorised Service Outlets.

¾Switch off the engine during long stops at traffic jams
or signals. If you need to keep the engine running, avoid
unnecessary revving it up or stopping and starting.
¾It is not necessary to rev up the engine before turning
it off as it unnecessarily burns the fuel.
¾Shift to higher gears as soon as it is possible. Use each
gear upto 2/3rd of it’s maximum engine speed. A chart
indicating gear shifting speeds is given in this book.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCEMAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
¾Ensure that recommended maintenance is carried out
on the vehicle regularly at the Authorised Service
Outlets.
¾As soon as you see any leakages of oil or fuel in the
vehicle we recommend to get it attended immediately.
¾Use only recommended grades and quantity of
lubricants and clean/uncontaminated and correct fuels.
¾Get your vehicle checked for emission periodically by
authorised dealer

¾Ensure that fuel filter, oil filter and breather are checked
periodically and replaced, if required, as recommended
by Tata Motors.
¾Do not pour the used oils or coolants into the sewage
drains, garden soil or open streams. Dispose the used
filters and batteries in compliance with the current
legislation.
¾Do not allow unauthorised person to tamper with
engine settings or to carry modifications on the vehicle.
¾Never allow the vehicle to run out of fuel.
¾Parts like brake liners, clutch disc should be vacuum
cleaned. Do not use the compressed air for cleaning
these parts which may spread the dust in the
atmosphere.

Stopping the Engine
Before switching off the engine, run the engine idle for atleast 30 seconds
and then switch off. This will allow the engine oil to lubricate the
turbocharger, till its speed is fully reduced and also allow the unit to cool
down.
Above precautions will ensure satisfactory life and performance from

WHEEL DRIVING WHEEL DRIVINGWHEEL DRIVING WHEEL DRIVING
WHEEL DRIVING
Thus unnecessary spinning of one wheel is avoided and torque
is transmitted to both wheels, thus assisting the vehicle to traverse
loose terrain. However during normal driving, the differential
action takes place in the same manner as in a standard differential.

Four Wheel Drive Operation Four Wheel Drive OperationFour Wheel Drive Operation Four Wheel Drive Operation
Four Wheel Drive Operation
In 2-H mode, only the rear two wheels of the vehicle are
powered by the engine and the front wheels are merely
pushed. By shifting to four wheel drive mode (4H or 4L)
the rear as well as the front axles get geared to the engine
through transfer case and transmit the engine power to all
four wheels. This gives the vehicle increased traction.
In 4H mode, the transmitted engine torque and vehicle
speed remain the same as in 2H. However, when you shift
to 4L mode engine torque is multiplied and vehicle moves
at low speed in the same gears with increased traction. 4L
mode is provided for negotiating sharp gradients or driving
through loose soil/sand.

Turn the selector knob from 2H to 4H position. 4H indicator
on instrument panel will light up. Changing from 2H to 4H
can be done at any speed upto 65 km/h (40 mph). No
pressing of clutch pedal is required.3. 3.3. 3.

Free Wheeling of Front Hub Free Wheeling of Front HubFree Wheeling of Front Hub Free Wheeling of Front Hub
Free Wheeling of Front Hub
After shifting from 4H to 2H, for effecting free wheeling of front
wheels, direction of vehicle motion needs to be changed. If
the vehicle was moving forward in 4H then bring it to halt and
engage reverse gear of main gear box. (If it was moving reverse
in 4H mode then stop it, and then engage forward gear of
main gear box.) After stopping and changing the gear the
vehicle must travel in opposite direction for a minimum of three
meters, before free wheeling takes place.

Presence of dirt in coolant chokes up passages in radiator,
cylinder head and crankcase, thereby causing overheating of
engine.
To prevent rust formation and freezing of coolant inside the
passages of radiator, crankcase and cylinder head use premixed
coolant as recommended.
It is recommended that the entire cooling system should
be drained and filled with fresh premixed coolant.
