ELECTRIC VEHICLE SYSTEM
In Electric car, electrical energy is stored
in rechargeable batteries. Compared
with cars with internal combustion (IC)
engines, electric cars are quieter (no
noise) and have no emissions.
Car batteries must be charged before
driving. As the car is driven, stored en-
ergy in the battery pack gradually de-
creases and if discharged completely to
10% then vehicle cannot be driven until
battery pack is recharged. Charging time
varies depending on state of charge in
car and ambient conditions.
Auxiliary battery supports the VCU only to
start the accessories.
Electric car is an eco-friendly vehicle that
does not release any noxious emissions
like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide &
nitrogen oxide, etc.
WARNING
The EV (Electric Vehicle) system
uses a high voltage current. Failure
to follow the proper handling in-
structions may cause serious injury
or death.
An EV (Electric Vehicle) cannot be
push started or tow-started. At-
tempting to do so may cause dam-
age to the traction motor.
The EV (Electric Vehicle) system
uses high voltage up to approxi-
mately DC 72 volt. The system can
be hot during and after starting and
when the vehicle is shut off. Be
careful of both the high voltage and
the high temperature. Obey the la-
bels that are attached to the vehi-
cle.
Li-ion Battery (72V)
As this is an electric vehicle, many elec-
tric and electronic parts are used in sys-
tem.
Your vehicle contains a pack sealed Li-
ion high voltage battery.
WARNING
For preventing damage to the Li-ion
battery pack:
Do not expose to very high temper-
atures for longer duration.
Do not use car battery for any other
purpose, Contact the TATA Author-
ised Service Centre.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Driving
Drive your car in ‘D’ mode to opti-
mize the drive range with moderate
acceleration.
Drive your car in ‘S’ mode only when
you overtake vehicles and drive on
slopes.
Maintain recommended tyre pres-
sure for best drive range & comfort
Make sure that the batteries are
charged before you plan for a drive.
Always charge the car to full (100%
SOC).
Always use seatbelts for your own
safety.
Always use blower speed position 2
for better cooling of cabin or as de-
sired by user to his comfortable
cabin temperature.
Set the switch to off drive system
before leaving vehicle.
Vehicle will not run with completely
discharged battery. At low SOC
avoid repeated acceleration result-
ing in more energy consumption
that can be avoided by gradual ac-
celeration and maintaining steady
speed.
Vehicle driving style has a direct im-
pact on battery capacity.
Operate accelerator and brake pe-
dal smoothly for better battery per-
formance.
Drive motor, brake vacuum pump In
AC cooling, motor and condenser
fan makes sound during braking op-
eration.
Cooling/Heating will be turned off
(including blower) when SOC drops
below 20%.
NOTE
Owners who do not have their own
recycling facility should get it done
through agencies that are certified
by competent national authorities.
After disposal, the certificate of re-
cycling has to be obtained and
maintained by the customer for
records. Hence it is advised to con-
tact TATA MOTORS authorized ser-
vice center the above.
WARNING
If the Li-ion battery is disposed incor-
rectly, there is a risk of severe burns
and electrical shock that may result
in serious injury or death and there is
also a risk of environmental damage.

EV usage guidelines
Make sure that the first three charge
cycles after delivery of vehicle are
done via slow charger. During this
‘running-in period’ each charge cycle
should be of minimum 8 Hrs duration
(i.e overnight charge).
After running-in period, it is recom-
mend that to follow charging pattern
of one fast charge cycle followed by
one slow charging cycle.
Between every three consecutive
charging cycle it is recommended to
have at least one complete 100 %
charging operation.(Indicator for
100% charge is charging light in clus-
ter turning into a solid green indica-
tion).
It is recommended to avoid succes-
sive short duration charging opera-
tion. e.g charging only for 30%.
If car keep Idle for long durations,
disconnect negative terminal of Aux-
iliary battery. If you use the car after
idle period requires a complete slow
charge before use.
Drive cautiously and slowly when wa-
ter levels up to 120 mm (Near to half
of wheel).
Make sure that water does not go
into charge ports before insertion of
charge cable.
