. 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.

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

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.

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.

Steering SteeringSteering Steering
Steering (Ensure that Power Steering fluid reservoir is totally
clean before starting the work)
1 . Fill the reservoir nearly full. Crank the engine for 10
seconds without allowing it to start (if possible). If engine
does start, shut the engine immediately. Check & refill
the reservoir repeat atleast three times, each time
checking & refilling the reservoir.
2 . Check for leakage in the system and if noticed take
corrective action.
3 . Start the engine and steer the vehicle from full left to full
right turns 3-4 times.
4 . Add fluid if necessary to maintain the level upto filter top.
NOTICE NOTICENOTICE NOTICE
NOTICE
Do not force the wheel against lock position either
extreme left or right. The power steering pump may get
damaged. Hold it lightly.
5 . When the engine is at steady speed, check for bubble
or foaming in the oil. If present it indicates that air is
getting sucked into the systems. Check the suction
line/fittings and correct if necessary.
6 . Once the system is bled properly and free from foaming
there should not be any appreciable change in oil level
in the reservoir, when the engine is started or stopped
repeatedly.
7 . Now the system is ready for driving.
Final oil level should be at ‘H’ mark on dip stick.
NOTICE NOTICENOTICE NOTICE
NOTICE
* Do not allow fluid level to drop significantly or run out
of the reservoir during the above operation. This may
induce air to the system.
* Do not start the engine without oil in the power steering
system. This will result in serious damage to the
pump. In case of emergency disconnect the pump belt
and then start the engine.
* Always use recommended oil from closed containers.
Any dirty oil poured in the system will result in damage
to pump and gear box.
