TATA MOTORS LTD. is committed
to produce vehicles using
environmentally sustainable
technology. Many 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 car 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 car
in a proactive manner. A lot
depends on your driving style and
the way you maintain your car. We
have given a few tips for your
guidance.
DRIVING
•Avoid frequent and violent
accelerations / rev-ups.
•Avoid overloading of the
engine. Avoid using devices
requiring high power
consumption during slow city
traffic condition.
•Monitor the car’s fuel
consumption regularly and if
showing rising trend get the
car immediately attended at
the TATA Authorised Service
Outlets.
•Switch off the engine during
long stops at traffic jams or
signals. If you need to keep
the engine running, do not
unnecessarily rev-up.Avoid
stopping and starting.
•Do not rev-up the engine
before turning it off as it
unnecessarily burns the fuel.
•Shift to higher gears as soon
as it is possible without
overloading the engine. Use
each gear upto 2/3rd of it’s
maximum engine speed. A
chart indicating gear shifting
speeds is given in this book.
MAINTENANCE
•Ensure that recommended
maintenance is carried out on
the car regularly at the
Authorised Service Outlets.
•As soon as you see any
leakages of oil, fuel or coolant
in the car we recommend to
get it attended immediately.
•Use only recommended
grades and specified quantity
of lubricants.
•Get your car checked for
emission periodically by an
authorised dealer.
•Ensure periodic radiator fins
cleaning.
•Ensure that fuel filter, oil filter
and breather are checked
periodically and replaced, if
required, as recommended by
Tata Motors.
ENVIRONMENTAL CARE

10
•Do not pour 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.
•Do not allow unauthorised
person to tamper with engine
settings or to carry
modifications on the car.
•Never allow the car to run out
of fuel.
•Parts like brake liners, clutch
discs should be vacuum
cleaned. Do not use
compressed air for cleaning
these parts which may spread
dust in the atmosphere.
•While carrying out servicing or
repairs on your vehicle, you
should pay keen attention to
some of the important engine
components which greatly affect
emission. These components
are:
1. Fuel pump, Injectors and EMS
(Engine Managment System)
parts.
2. Air Intake and Exhaust systems
(especially for leakages).
3. Cylinder head/Valve leakages.
4. All filters such as air, oil & fuel
filter (check periodically).
5. Ignition system & Spark plug.
6. Catalytic converter.
7. Carbon Canister.
This Owner’s manual contains
further information on driving
precautions and maintenance care
leading to environment protection.

these aspects before driving.
