SAFETY
1
Important Information
In this Owner's Manual, you will find the
text under the heading “WARNING” and
“NOTE” which highlights important infor-
mation. Pay particular attention to these
highlighted messages.
WARNING
Indicates procedures or infor-
mation that must be followed pre-
cisely in order to avoid the possibil-
ity of severe personal injury and se-
rious damage to the vehicle.
Safe Driving
Safety consciousness not only ensures
your safety and the safety of other road
users, but it also helps to reduce the
wear and tear on your vehicle.
Safe driving depends on:
How quickly you make decisions to
avoid an accident.
Your ability to concentrate.
How well you can see and judge ob-
jects.
How well familiar you are with your
vehicle controls and its capabilities.
NOTE
Fatigue is a result of physical or
mental exertion that impairs judg-
ment. Driver fatigue may be due to
inadequate sleep, extended work
hours, strenuous work or non-work
activities or combination of other
factors. Take rest at regular inter-
vals.
Safety Tips
Always take into account the road
conditions, weather conditions, vehi-
cle speed in order to prevent acci-
dents.
Turn ‘ON’ the side indicators at least
30 meters before taking a turn or
changing the lane.
Decelerate to a safe speed before
taking turn. Do not apply brakes dur-
ing cornering.
When overtaking other vehicles,
watch out for the oncoming vehicle.
Never drive under the influence of al-
cohol or drugs.
If your vehicle is equipped with info-
tainment/navigation system, set and
make changes to your travel route
only when the vehicle is parked.
Program radio presets with the vehi-
cle parked, and use your pro-
grammed presets to make radio use
quicker and simpler.
NOTE
Indicates additional information
that will assist you in gaining the
optimum benefit and care for your
vehicle.

SAFETY
2
Driving through water
Do not drive through flooded areas.
Judge the depth of water before driving
through it. Otherwise, water may enter
the vehicle interior or the engine com-
partment.
If at all the situation demands that you
have to drive through water then;
Keep engine in higher RPM and crawl
the vehicle in low gear.
Flowing or rushing water creates
strong forces. Driving through flow-
ing water could cause the vehicle to
about trying to drive through flowing
water.
Lightly apply the brake pedal to dry
the liners until the brakes work nor-
mally once you are out of water.
WARNING
Do not attempt to start the engine
if vehicle gets flooded due to wa-
ter. Tow the vehicle to a safe place.
Contact a nearest TATA MOTORS
Authorised Service Centre
Driving on a rainy day
Check wiper blades, lights and
brakes for proper functioning and
condition.
Check the tyre treads depth, the con-
dition of the tread and tyre.
Avoid harsh braking and sharp turns.
It may cause loss of control and lead
to a skid.
For slowing down, shift to lower gears
and brake gently.
Keep lights ‘ON’ if visibility is poor.
Driving on wet roads
On wet road or during light showers, “Aq-
uaplaning” can occur. “Aquaplaning” is
the loss of direct contact between the
road surface and the vehicle’s tires due
to a water film forming between them.
Steering or braking the vehicle can be
very difficult, and loss of control can oc-
cur.
There is no hard and fast rule about aq-
uaplaning. The best advice is to slow
down when the road is wet.
NOTE
If you have driven for a long time in
heavy rain without braking, there
may be a delayed reaction from
the brakes when braking for the
first time. You have to press the
brake pedal more firmly. Maintain
a greater distance from the vehicle
in front.

SAFETY
3
Night driving
Ensure that all lights are working and
windshield, window glasses are
clean.
Drive more slowly at night than in the
daytime, as the visual range is re-
stricted at night. Maintain a speed
such that you can stop within illumi-
nated distance of head lamps.
Do not use the high beam unless in-
evitable. It may dazzle the driver of
the oncoming vehicle, thus causing
an accident.
Use head lamp main/dip beam to
alert other road users on turns/
cross roads etc.
Use side indicators for lane change
or turning.
Driving on gradients
When climbing gradient, the vehicle may
begin to slow down and show a lack of
power. If this happens, shift to a lower
gear and apply power smoothly so that
there is no loss of traction.
When driving down a hill, the engine
braking should be used by shifting into a
lower gear. Do not drive in neutral gear
or switch off the engine.
WARNING
On long and steep gradients you
must reduce the load on the
brakes by shifting early to a lower
gear. This allows you to take ad-
vantage of the engine braking ef-
fect and helps avoid overheating of
service brakes resulting in reduced
braking efficiency.
Driving on highway
Stopping distance progressively, in-
creases with vehicle speed. Maintain a
sufficient distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead.
For long distance driving, perform safety
checks before starting a trip and take
rest at certain intervals to prevent fa-
tigue.

SAFETY

Seat Belts
This section of user manual describes
your vehicle’s seat belt, airbag and Child
restraints system. Please read and fol-
low all these instructions carefully to
minimise risk of severe injury or death.
Seat belts are the primary restraints
system in the vehicle. All occupants,
including the driver, should always
wear their seat belts to minimize the
risk of injury.
Sit back and adjust the front seat.
Make sure that your seat is adjusted
to a good driving position and the
back of the seat is upright.
Buckling the Shoulder Seatbelt
Grasp the tongue then slowly pull out
the seat belt over the shoulder and
across the chest. When the seat belt
is long enough to fit, insert the
tongue into the lock buckle until you
hear a “CLICK” which indicates that
the seat belt is securely locked.
Position the lap portion of seat belt
across your thighs, below your abdo-
men. To remove slack, pull up a bit
on the shoulder seat belt. To loosen
the lap portion seat belt if it is too
tight, tilt the tongue and pull on the
lap seat belt. A snug seat belt re-
duces the risk of sliding under the
seat belt in a collision. Ensure that
the seat belt running over the body
(shoulder segment and lap segment)
does not have any twist. Twisted seat
belt may not offer effective protec-
tion when required.
Releasing the seat belt
To release the seat belt, push the red
button on the lock buckle. The seat belt
will automatically retract to its stowed
position. If necessary, slide the tongue
down the webbing to allow the seat belt
to retract fully.
Fixed rear centre lap seat belt
When buckling, make sure you hear
a click confirming that the tab is
latched into the seat belt lock. To
tighten it, pull the loose end through
the buckle until the seat belt is com-
fortably adjusted around the hips.
NOTE
The above image is for reference
purpose only.

SAFETY
5
Seat belt height adjustments
(If applicable)
If height adjustment is provided in the
seat belt, occupant can adjust it to their
comfort, as may be applicable.
NOTE
The above image is for reference
purpose only.
WARNING
Each seating position and seat
belt assembly must only be used
by one occupant. It is not
recommended to put a seat belt
around a child, being carried on
an occupant's lap.
Be careful not to damage or
tamper the seat belt webbing or
hardware. Inspect the seat belt
system periodically, checking for
cuts, frays, or loose parts. A
frayed or torn seat belt could rip
apart in a collision and leave you
with no protection.
If the seat belt webbing or
hardware is damaged, get it
replaced immediately at TATA
Motors Authorized service centre.
Do not insert any items such as
coins, clips, etc. into the seat belt
buckles, and be careful not to
spill liquids into these parts. If
foreign materials get into a seat
belt buckle, the seat belt will not
work properly.
Do not wear seat belts over hard,
sharp or fragile items in clothing,
such as pens, keys, spectacles
etc.
Do not use any accessories on
seat belts or modify in any way
the seat belt system. Devices
claiming to improve occupant
comfort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection
provided by the seat belt and
increase the chance of serious
injury in a collision.

SAFETY
6
Seat Belts with Pre –tensioner
(if equipped)
You can use the pre-tensioner seat belts
in the same manner as ordinary seat
belts .
The seat belt pre-tensioner system
works in conjunction with the
SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINTS SYSTEM
(SRS-Airbags).
In the event of a collision, as may be
necessary, pre-tensioner tightens the
seat belt so that it fits the occupant’s
body more snugly. When pre-tensioner
activates, there could be some noise
and release of smoke. This is normal
and there are no health hazards or fire
risk.
WARNING
In a collision, the pre-tensioner
seat belt assembly mechanisms
becomes hot during activation. Do
not touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several
minutes after they have been
activated.
If the vehicle has been involved in a
collision, get it inspected immediately at
authorised TATA MOTORS SERVICE
Center.
Seat Belt with Load Limiter
(if equipped)
You can use the load limiter seat belts in
the same manner as ordinary seat belts.
The seat belt load limiter system works
in conjunction with the SUPPLEMEN-
TARY RESTRAINTS SYSTEM (SRS-Air-
bags).
In the event of a collision, as may be nec-
essary, load limiter reduces the load on
the rib cage region of the occupant.
If the vehicle has been involved in a col-
lision, get it inspected immediately at Au-
thorised TATA MOTORS SERVICE Center.
Use of seat belts for pregnant
woman
WARNING
Pregnant woman must wear a
correctly positioned seat belt. It is
safer for mother as well as
unborn child.
Pregnant woman should wear the
lap part of the seat belt across
the thighs and as snug across the
hips as possible. Keep the seat
belt low so that it does not come
across the abdomen. That way
the strong bones of the hips will
take the force if there is a
collision.

SAFETY
7
Seat belt Warning Lamp
For Driver For Front
seat passenger
The seat belt warning lamp reminds you
to fasten the seat belt.
If the driver does not fasten seat belt,
seat belt reminder lamp will blink
and a buzzer will sound for pre-
defined duration until the drivers
seat belt is buckled.
If front passenger seat is occupied by
adult and does not fasten seat belt,
seat belt reminder lamp will blink
and a buzzer will sound for pre-
defined duration until the front
passenger seat belt is buckled.
If this system is also provided for
other than Front row seats,
applicable above warning will appear
until seat belts are buckled.
If front passenger seat is occupied by
child, system may detect occupancy
and warn with front passenger seat
belt warning. It is not taken to mean
child can occupy front passenger
seat and use seat belt. Please refer
CRS section for recommended
seating position.
NOTE
Using unauthorized after-market
seat cover may affect function of
occupant sensor. TATA MOTORS
does not recommended any non-
validated seat cover on seats.

SAFETY
8
Child Restraint System (CRS)
TATA MOTORS strongly recommends the
use of Child Restraint Systems (CRS) for
all children up to age of 12 years and to
be placed at recommended positions
only. Children travelling without recom-
mended CRS and seated at other posi-
tions may face serious injuries in case of
a collision.
CRS can be installed in the vehicle using
seat belts and/or ISOFIX only (if
equipped) or ISOFIX with Top Tether (if
equipped).
The harness system of CRS holds the
child in place, and in a collision, acts to
keep the child positioned in the seat and
reduce the risk of injuries.
All children below age of one year must
always ride in a rear-facing infant CRS.
Keep children in a forward-facing CRS
with a harness until they reach the size
or weight limit allowed by your CRS man-
ufacturer.
Once your child outgrows the forward-
facing CRS, your child is ready for a
booster seat.
Selection and installation of CRS:
Always select the CRS that complies with
latest safety standards (AIS072 / ECE
R44). The CRS are classified according
to the child's size, height and weight.
Select the appropriate CRS for your
child. Ensure that the child fits properly
in the CRS and it is securely installed in
the vehicle. For installation, please refer
CRS manufacturer’s instruction manual
NOTE
The above images are for refer-
ence purpose only.
