. 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

NOTICE
Do not engage four wheel drive mode (4H or 4L)
continuously on dry and hard road surface. It can cause
expensive damage to the vehicle transmission and the
tyres.
Four wheel drive facility is a powerful tool which enables
the vehicle to traverse terrain which is otherwise
inaccessible to two wheel drive vehicles. However, it must
be used judiciously and carefully. Do not take unnecessary
risks and attempt the impossible. Familiarise yourself
thoroughly with the vehicle and its abilities before
attempting serious off road driving.
With ignition ‘ON’ 4H & 4L indicator lamp on panel should
glow for a few seconds only & then go off. Continuous
illumination of 4L & 4H lamps indicates electrical fault.

G*.When changing from 4H/4L to 2H of transfer case, 2H free
wheeling should be done.
If 2H free wheeling is not done the hub locks of front hub
remain locked causing unnecessary rotation of front drive
components and this consumes more fuel and causes wear
and tear of front axle components.

be maintained.
The vehicle uses more fuel, every time you speed up or slow
down.

Your vehicle is fitted with a turbocharger having variable
turbine technology ( VTT ). Turbocharger is an efficient
supercharging device used in our engine. It makes optimal
use of thermal energy of engine exhaust gases to run a
turbine which in turn drives a compressor to force air under
pressure into the inlet manifold. This turbocharger is
optimized for higher power output flat torque across large
engine speed range and better fuel consumption.

The turbocharger rotor assembly is supported by two fully
floating bearing bushes in the bearing housing. These
bearing bushes are lubricated with finely filtered engine
oil from the lubrication system of the engine.
Idle the engine for a while (30 seconds) after starting the
engine and before stopping the engine to ensure adequate
lubricating oil supply to the turbocharger.

All turbocharger connections must be leak-proof. Check air
inlet, air outlet, exhaust gas inlet and exhaust outlet
connections as well as oil inlet and outlet connections to
the turbocharger and tighten the connections where
required.Proper maintenance of air filter, oil filter as well as use of
correct grade of oil and adherence to oil change intervals is
essential for proper functioning of the turbocharger.
If you suspect any malfunctioning of the turbocharger, take
the vehicle to the nearest dealer. Do not remove the
turbocharger yourself.
