. 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

•Dip the head lamp for oncoming traffic during night driving.
•Maintain a speed such that you can stop within illuminated distance of head lamps.
•Use head lamp main/dip beam to alert other road users on turns/cross roads etc.
•Use side indicators for lane change or turning.
•Put on hazard warning switch in case of hazardous parking or if your vehicle is disabled
to warn the passing traffic.

Climbing Sharp Gradients on Loose Surfaces
•Select the 4L mode, start off smoothly in any suitable gear. Apply power smoothly so
that there is no loss of traction by over-revving of the engine.
•Choose as smooth a slope as possible and select the appropriate gear so that gear
changing in the middle of the climb is not required.
Changing gears in the middle of the climb can cause loss of momentum and engine
stalling. Shifting to lower gear has to be done cautiously to avoid loss of traction.
•Under no conditions should the vehicle be moved diagonally across a hill. The danger
is in loss of traction and sideways slippage, possibly resulting in tipping over. If
unavoidable, choose as mild an angle as possible and keep the vehicle moving.
•If the wheels start to slip within few feet of the end of the climb, motion can be
maintained by swinging the steered wheels left and right, thereby providing increased
grip.
•If the vehicle stalls or losses headway while climbing a steep hill, make a quick shift to
reverse and allow the vehicle to move back with the control of engine compression.

before refilling the system.
a. Remove radiator pressure cap
b. Drain the coolant from engine through the drain hole on
thermostat housing lower part. Drain coolant from radiator
through the radiator drain hole.
c. Refit the drain plugs on thermostat housing lower part and
the radiator.
d. Pour fresh water through the filler neck up to top and again
drain the water through the drain holes. This will ensure
removal of the old coolant from the system
e. After flushing out water, secure the drain plugs on radiator
and thermostat housing lower part properly with new
sealing washer.
f. Drain the auxiliary tank and refit the hoses.
4. Take the recommended coolant and water in 1:1 proportion
5. Carry out air evacuation and coolant filling on machine

If the air evacuation and coolant filling (vacuum filling) system is
not available, then alternate procedure is as mentioned below.1. Follow sr. no 1 to 4 indicated in Air evacuation and coolant
filling ( Vacuum filling) procedure.
2. Refill the coolant (coolant and water as per recommendation)
through radiator filler neck.
3. When coolant level comes up to radiator filler neck, wait and
allow air bubbles to escape from the system for 2 to 5 min.
Top up coolant in radiator filler neck when level drops.
4. Fill the coolant in the auxiliary tank up to “FIRST FILL / REFILL”
mark.
5. Start the engine and run at idle for 10 min. with open radiator
filler neck. Allow air to escape from the system.Top up coolant
slowly in the radiator filler neck while idling.
6. Stop the engine and allow air bubbles to escape from the
system. Top up coolant through radiator filler neck. Secure
the radiator pressure cap on radiator filler neck.
7. Start the engine and run in stationary condition at 2200 to
2500 rpm till thermostat opens and continue to run for 5
minutes. ( The radiator fans coming on is the indication of
opening the thermostat)
8. Stop the engine and allow it to cool. Open the radiator
pressure cap & top up coolant in radiator filler neck. Secure
the radiator pressure cap on the radiator filler neck.
9. Refill the coolant in the auxiliary tank till “first fill / Refill” level
mark.
10. The coolant refilling is complete now.
11. Ensure that there are no leakages in the completesystem.

7. Fill, recommended quantity of fresh engine oil in the crank
case and secure the oil filler cap in its place.
8. Start the engine and run for a few minutes. The engine oil
pressure indicator lamp should go ‘off ’ after starting the

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

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.
