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

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
be carried away. Be very cautious
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 through 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 depress
the brake pedal more firmly. Main-
tain a greater distance from the
vehicle in front.

SAFETY
11
Night driving
Ensure that all light 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
12
Seat Belts
Seat-belt is a safety device designed to
secure the occupant travelling in the ve-
hicle. TATA MOTORS strongly recom-
mends that all the occupants should al-
ways wear seat belts while travelling, ir-
respective of journey duration.
In normal driving, the belt lets you move
freely in your seat. In case of an accident
or sudden braking, inertia reel automati-
cally tightens the belt to help restrain
your body.
Importance of wearing seat belt
Reduces the risk of being thrown in-
side the vehicle in case of a colli-
sion/sudden braking.
It will help to keep you in the proper
position when the air bag inflates.
Reduces the risk of harm in
frontal/angular collisions that are
not enough to activate the air bag.
Reduces the risk of harm in rollover,
side or rear impact collisions.
WARNING
Never wear seat belt over rigid or
breakable objects, such as eye-
glasses, pens, keys etc., as these
might cause injuries.
Make sure the seat belt is always
fitted comfortably.
Place the seat backrest in a posi-
tion that is as upright as possible.
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 could cause serious
injury.
The maximum protection which
seat belts can offer is only
achieved if you are correctly
seated.
NOTE
Do not bleach or dye seat belts as
this may severely weaken them. In
a crash they may not be able to
provide adequate protection.
Cleaning should be carried out us-
ing mild soap and water only.

SAFETY

sible on your hip bone and not
across the abdomen. If the lap belt
is positioned across your abdo-
men, it could cause serious inju-
ries in a crash.
Pregnant woman
Pregnant women should also always use
a lap-shoulder belt. The lap belt portion
should be positioned as low as possible
on the hip bones to avoid any possible
pressure on the abdomen.

SAFETY

Child Restraint System (CRS)
TATA MOTORS strongly recommends
the use of Child Restraint Systems
(CRS) for all children up to age of 12
years.
Children kept unrestrained while trav-
elling, 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 stand-
ards (AIS072 / ECE R44).The CRS are
classified according to the child's size,
height and weight. Select the appropri-
ate 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 man-
ufacturer’s instruction manual.

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 for-
ward facing CRS. Adjust the seat
backrest to an upright position.
Storage for CRS
Always secure CRS safely in the vehicle
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 ve-
hicle interior in the event of a sudden
braking, maneuver or an accident. This
could cause injuries to the travelling oc-
cupants.
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 some-
body’s lap when vehicle is in mo-
tion.
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 posi-
tion.
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.

Anti-Theft Device- Immobilizer
Immobilizer system is designed to pre-
vent vehicle theft by electronically disa-
bling the engine ignition system. The en-
gine can be started only with vehicle’s
original Immobilizer ignition key which
has an electronic identification pro-
grammed code.
NOTE
Use only E-key, the other should be
kept in a safe location. Note down
“key Tag no.” information (and
keep it safe) which is required
while getting new/spare keys. Re-
member that it is not possible to
prepare new/spare keys without
the “key Tag number.” Take pre-
caution about E-key, as without E-
key vehicle cannot be started.

E- Key
An E-Key is an electronic access and au-
thorization system which is provided as
a standard feature on your vehicle.
Unlocking principle
The transponder which is built into the
ignition E-Key carries a unique identifica-
tion code. The vehicle unlocks when the
code on the E-Key matches with the
code on the Engine Management Sys-
tem (EMS).
Engine starting
When the key is inserted and the ignition
is switched ‘ON’, all codes are communi-
cated within E-Key, Immobilizer and
EMS. The engine will start only if all the
codes match.
Loss of keys
If one of the keys is lost, contact your
nearest TATA MOTORS authorised
dealer immediately.
WARNING
Do not turn ‘ON’ ignition switch by
using E-key with any type of metal
wound around its grip or in con-
tact with it. This may be detected
as abnormal condition by immo-
bilizer and prevent engine from
starting.
Do not leave the E-key in areas of
high temperature. The tran-
sponder in it will behave abnor-
mally when reused.
Do not try to start the vehicle
when the Immobilizer indicator
lamp on the instrument cluster is
glowing. In this condition the ve-
hicle will not start and the vehi-
cle’s battery will also be drained
due to frequent cranking.
Child Lock
Both the rear doors of the vehicle are
provided with a child proof lock. Push the
lock lever located on vertical face of the
door downward before closing the door.
The door which has been locked by acti-
vating the child lock cannot be opened
from inside, it can be opened only from
the outside.
NOTE
Lift the lock lever upward to deac-
tivate the childproof lock when not
required.

SAFETY
19
Air Bags - Supplemental Restraint
System (if equipped)
The driver’s front air bag is located be-
hind the center pad of the steering wheel
and the front passenger’s front air bag is
located on dashboard above glove box.
Front air bags are designed to inflate in
severe frontal collisions when the igni-
tion switch is in the ‘ON’ position.
Front air bags are not designed to inflate
in rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers
or minor frontal collisions, since they
would offer no protection in those types
of accidents.
Remember, since an air bag deploys
only one time during an accident, seat
belts are needed to restrain occupants
from further movements during the acci-
dent.
Therefore, an air bag is NOT a substitute
for seat belts. To maximize your protec-
tion, always wear your seat belts.
In a frontal collision, the crash sensors
detect and trigger the inflators. The in-
flators inflate the air bags with nitrogen
or argon gas. The movement of the
driver and of the front passenger is cush-
ioned when they make contact with the
fully inflated airbag and the risk of injury
to head and chest is reduced. You may
hear a noise along with some smoke,
dust and smell of burnt propellant imme-
diately after the air bag has inflated. DO
NOT PANIC as this is normal and is not
an indication of fire in the vehicle.
NOTE
An air bag supplements, or adds
to, the crash protection offered by
seat belts. The driver and all pas-
sengers must be properly re-
strained by wearing seat belts at
all times.
Drive with the seat belt fastened
correctly and in a position that is
as upright as possible with your
back against the backrest.
Do not lean your head or chest
close to the steering wheel or
dashboard.
WARNING
Do not attach any objects to, or
place any objects over, the steer-
ing wheel or dashboard. These ob-
jects may interfere with air bag op-
eration or may be propelled by the
air bag in the event of a crash. Ei-
ther of these conditions may cause
severe injury.
