SAFETY
01 SEATBELTS
SEAT BELTS:
Seat-belt is a safety device designed
to secure the occupant of the vehicle.
Use of seat-belt reduces the chance
of injury and severity of injury in case
of an accident. TATA MOTORS
strongly recommends that all the
occupants should always wear seat-
belts while travelling, irrespective of
journey duration.
Your vehicle is equipped with seat
belts, for front and rear seats as a part
of occupant restraint system.
WARNING
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is
seated and using a seat belt
properly.
In normal driving, the belt lets you
move freely in your seat. In case of an
accident or sudden braking, inertia reel
automatically tightens the belt to help
restrain your body.
This vehicle has front and rear seat
belts in the out board positions and a
lap belt for middle passenger on rear
seat. The lap belt has a manually ad-
justed belt that fits across the hip bone.
Make sure that your seat is adjusted
to a good driving position and the back
of the seat is upright.
Importance of Wearing Seat Belt :
1. It will help to keep you in the proper
position when the air bag inflates.
2. Reduces the risk of harm in rollover,
side or rear impact collisions
3. Reduces the risk of harm in
frontal/angular collisions that are
not enough to activate the air bag.
4. Reduces the risk of being thrown
inside the vehicle in case of a
collision.
NOTE
Do not bleach or dye seat belts as
this may severely weaken them. In
a crash they may not be able to
provideadequateprotection.Clean-
ingshouldbe carried out using mild
soapand wateronly.
WARNING
Make sure that the seat belts are
not twisted which can cause injury
in a collision as the full width of the
belt isn’t available to absorb the
impact. This puts more force on the
bones beneath the belt, which could
cause serious injury.
The maximum protection which seat
belts can offer is only achieved if you
are correctly seated. The seat back
should not be tilted too far back.

11
SAFETY 01 SEATBELTS
How to use seat belts: 1. Pull the belt tongue across your
body and insert it into the buckle.
2. Check and ensure that the belt is
not twisted.
3. Position the lap portion of the belt
as low as possible across your hip
bone.
4. Pull up the shoulder part of the belt
to remove the slack. Make sure that
the belt goes over your collar bones
and across chest.
5. To unlatch the belt, press the red
button on the buckle. Guide the belt
to the pillar as it retracts.
WARNING
1. The belts are intended for adult
occupants only.
2. Each belt should be used by one
occupant only. The belt must not
be put round a child, seated on
passengers lap.
3. Use approved child restraint
system for children
4. If the belt was in use in a serious
accident or shows signs of severe
fraying / damage or of having been
cut, replace it with an approved
belt kit.
5. The belt must not be altered or
modified during use and if required
to be replaced, then it should be
replaced, by TATA MOTORS
Authorized Service Centre only.

SAFETY
01 SEATBELTS
Lap belt:
Pull the belt tongue to the desired
length. Insert it into the buckle until
you hear a click.
Adjust the belt length. To lengthen the
belt, hold the tongue at a right angle
to the webbing and pull. To shorten,
pull the loose end of the webbing. To
unfasten, depress the button in the
buckle.
WARNING
Positioning the lap portion of the
Seat Belt too high can be danger-
ous as in a collision; this would
concentrate the impact force directly
on the abdominal area, causing
serious injury. Wear the lap portion
of the belt snugly and as low as
possible.
Pregnant Woman:
A pregnant woman should wear a Lap-
shoulder belt and the lap portion should
be worn as low as possible, below the
womb, throughout the pregnancy.
When a safety belt is worn properly, it
is more likely that the foetus will not
be hurt in a crash. Pregnant women
should wear the lap part of the belt
across the thighs and as snug across
the hips as possible. Keep the belt low
so that it does not come across the
abdomen. By doing this, the strong
structure of the hips will take the force
if there is a collision.

SAFETYSEATBELTS 01
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (CRS):
if applicable
TATA MOTORS strongly recommends
the use of Child Restraint Systems
(CRS) for all children up to age of 12
years.
Children kept unrestrained while
travelling, may face serious injuries in
case of an accident.
Selection and Installation of CRS:
Always select the child restraint
system that complies with latest
safety standards (AIS 072, ECE
R44).The CRS are classified accord-
ing 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 CRS is
securely installed in the vehicle.
For installation, please refer CRS
manufacturer’s instruction manual.
Recommended CRS position:
The suitability of seat position for carriage of children and recommended
category of child restraint system is shown in the table below.

X : Seat Position not suitable for children in this age group.
U : Suitable for “universal” category restraints approved for use in this age group.
NOTE
Universal is a category in the AIS072 / ECE R44 norm.
NOTE
When installing CRS in rear seat, push the front seat fully forward so that
child’s feet do not touch the front seat back.
NOTE
If a child is to be seated in the front seat (if recommended only), push the
vehicle seat fully rearward and keep the child in an approved forward facing
CRS. Adjust the seat backrest to an upright position.

SAFETY SEATBELTS
01
Storage for CRS:
Always secure CRS safely in the ve-
hicle or stow it in the luggage
compartment if not being used.
While the vehicle is in motion an unre-
strained CRS could flung through the
vehicle interior in the event of a sud-
den braking, maneuver or an acci-
dent. This could cause injuries to the
travelling occupants.
WARNING
Replace CRS that has withstood any
force during an accident as it could
have sustained damage which may
not be visible.
Check list:
1. Never carry children on somebody’s
lap when vehicle is in motion.
2. Always secure children in the ve-
hicle in a CRS. The CRS must be
suitable for the child’s height,
weight and build.
3. Observe the instructions from the
manufacturer of the CRS and al-
ways keep the instruction manual
in the vehicle.
4. Always make sure that the seat
belt routing is correct for children
and they are sitting in the correct
position.
5. Do not leave any toys or other ob-
jects loose in the CRS or on the
seat while the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Each CRS should be used for one
child only.

DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITION:
Driving Through Water :
Your vehicle’s engine may get
seriously damaged if attempted to
drive through deep water.
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.
•After driving through water apply
brakes several times to dry liners
and to regain original braking.
Do not attempt to start the engine
if vehicle gets flooded due to
water. Tow the vehicle to a safe
place.
Take the vehicle to the nearest TATA
MOTORS authorised workshop to
check entry of water in cylinders.
If water has entered the engine,
gearbox or transfer case, the
lubricants will have to be replaced. Get
the starter and alternator checked.
Driving on a Rainy Day :
•Check brakes, steering and
windows.
•Check tyres for wear and tyre
pressure.
•Check wiper blades for proper
functioning.
•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.
Night Driving :
•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.

SAFETY DRIVINGINADVERSECONDITION
01
Climbing Sharp Gradients on
Loose Surfaces :
•Start off smoothly in any suitable
gear. Apply power smoothly so that
there is no loss of traction by over-
revving of the engine.
•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 a lower gear has to be
done cautiously to avoid loss of
traction.
•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.
Descending Sharp Gradients :
•Depending on the severity of the
gradient, shift into appropriate gear.
Use engine braking judiciously
without over-revving the engine.
•Brake application under such
situations should be done very
smoothly to avoid loss of control.
Select appropriate gear so that gear
changing or clutch disengagement
is not involved while descending
the gradient.
