Use of seat-belt reduces the chance of injury and severity of injury in case of an accident. TATA MOTRS 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. 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 three point inertia reel type for front and rear seat belts in the out board positions and a lap belt for middle passenger on rear seat.The anchor end of the shoulder belt is adjustable to suit the height of the 10 SEAT BELTS passenger wearing it. The lap belt has a manually adjusted 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 from your vehicle in 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 provide adequate protection. Cleaning should be carried out using mild soap and water only. WARNINGS 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. SEAT BELTS How to use seat belts: 1 LATCH SAFETY 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. 2 UNLATCH 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. 3. When the belt has been in use in a serious accident or shows signs of severe fraying / damage or of having been cut, replace with an approved belt kit. 4. 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 outlets only. WARNINGS 1. The belts are meant (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. 11 01 01 SEAT BELTS SAFETY Lap belt: Pull the 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 dangerous 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 Lapshoulder belt and the lap portion should 12 be worn as low as possible, below the rounding, 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 bones of the hips will take the force if there is a collision. WARNING Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly. CHILD RESTRAINTS : Use child restraint system appropriate for the child until he / she becomes mature enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat-belts. You must carefully SEAT BELTS & CHILD LOCK consult the manufacturer’s instructions which accompany the child restraint system, about the age and size of the child. The child restraint system should be installed in the rear seat. NOTE According to accident statistics, a child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. For optimum safety, children should travel in the rear of the vehicle at all times. NOTE Child restraint systems are available at authorized TATA MOTORS dealerships. TATA MOTORS recommends the use of a type which fits your vehicle. Before installation, always read the manufacturer’s instructions. SAFETY CHILD LOCK: Both the rear doors of the car are provided with a child proof lock. Push the lock lever located on vertical face of the door near the lock downward before closing the door. The door which has been locked by activating the child lock cannot be opened from inside, it can be opened only from the outside. NOTE Deactivate the childproof lock when not required. 13 01 01 SAFETY ANTI-THEFT DEVICE - IMMOBILIZER ANTI THEFT DEVICE- IMMOBILIZER: Immobilizer system is designed to prevent car theft by electronically disabling the engine ignition system. The engine can be started only with car’s original Immobilizer ignition key which has an electronic identification programmed code. NOTE Use only one 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. Remember that it is not possible to prepare new/spare keys without the “key Tag number.” Take precaution about E-keys, as without it vehicle cannot be started. Operation of Immobilizer system in Brief: VEHICLE CONDITION STATUS LAMP VEHICLE STATE Ignition OFF Blinking Locked Ignition ON OFF Unlocked ON Locked MEANING/ FUNCTION OF THE STATE Vehicle Immobilized and Awaiting Electronic key Normal Condition Ready to start the vehicle - Problem with key ( Wrong Ekey used to start vehicle) - Problem with Immobilizer system contact Tata dealer to inspect the system 14 ANTI-THEFT DEVICE - IMMOBILIZER SAFETY E-KEYS: Loss of keys : An E-Key is an electronic access and authorization system which is provided as a standard feature on your car. You car is provided with two E-Keys. Each Key is specific to the immobilizer of your car. If one of the E-Key is lost, contact your nearest TATA MOTORS authorised dealer as soon as possible to have the lost key deactivated. The second original E-Key is required for making additional E-Keys. Unlocking principle: If both the E-Keys are lost contact TATA MOTORS authorised dealer . The transponder which is built into the ignition E-Key carries a unique identification code. The car unlocks when the code on the E-Key matches with the code on the Engine Management system (EMS). Engine Starting : When the key is inserted and the ignition is switched ON, all codes are communicated within concerned components (E-Key, Immobilizer and EMS). The engine will start only if all the codes match. lamp on the instrument cluster is glowing. In this condition the vehicle will not start and the vehicle’s battery will also be drained due to frequent cranking. WARNING 1. Do not turn ‘ON’ ignition switch by using E-key with any type of metal wound around its grip or in contact with it. This may be detected as an abnormal condition by immobilizer and prevent the engine from starting. 2. Do not leave the E-key in areas of high temperature. The transponder in it will behave abnormally when reused. 3. Do not try to start the vehicle when the Immobilizer indicator 15 01 01 SAFETY SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM - AIR BAGS SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM- AIR BAGS : (If fitted) • The frontal air bags (driver and passenger) are safety devices designed to protect the occupants in the event of a medium or high intensity collision, which acts as a cushion (bag) between the occupant and the steering wheel. • In the event of a collision, an ECU is so designed to process signals from the sensor, to detect the severity of collision and accordingly trigger the inflation of air bags. Air bags are not designed to inflate in rollover, rear side or slow speed angular crashes because the necessary protection can be achieved by the seat belt alone. • Air bags(s) may only deploy when the ignition switch is ON. The inflating air bag deploys out of the steering wheel for the driver, and dash board for the passenger. This 16 action takes place in a fraction of second. • The air bags are filled with a propellant gas (nitrogen). The movement of the driver and of the front passenger is cushioned when they make contact with the fully inflated airbag and the risk of injury to head and chest is reduced. The air bag then deflates subsequently to such an extent, after an accident, to again provide a clear view forward. You may hear a noise along with some smoke, dust and smell of burnt propellant immediately after the air bag has inflated. DO NOT PANIC as this is normal and is not an indication of fire in the vehicle. Passenger Air Bag (PAB) switch provided on the left side of the dashboard should always be ACTIVE. If in case the front passenger seat is unoccupied, the PAB may be prevented from deploying by turning the PAB switch to INACTIVE by using the ignition key. WARNING Always maintain an adequate distance between yourself and the airbags. Always grip the steering wheel on the rim, with your hands in the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, to minimize the risk of injury to the hands or arms in the event of the airbag being triggered. SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM - AIR BAGS WARNING No part of your body (example feet, knees), objects and accessories should be within close proximity to the PAB module as it could obstruct the operation of the air bag. Deployed air bags and seat belt pre-tensioners cannot protect you in another collision. Have the air bags, seat belt pre-tensioners, replaced by TATA MOTORS Authorized Service Centre immediately. SAFETY Centre. Do not permit anyone else to do any service, inspection, maintenance or repair on any SRS components or wiring. Improper work on the SRS system will result in inadvertent deployment of the air bag or could render the SRS inoperative. NOTE In case of any frontal damage to your vehicle, have the SRS inspected by TATA MOTORS authorised service outlet to ensure it is in proper working condition. Any maintenance performed on or near the components of the SRS must be performed only by a TATA MOTORS Authorized Service 17 01 01 SAFETY ANTI- LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS): (If fitted) ABS is a safety system that allows efficient braking without losing tractional control, prevents wheels from locking up and avoids uncontrolled skidding. The Anti-Lock Braking System monitors the rotational speed of each wheel. During emergency braking ABS controls the braking force of each wheel. If it detects a wheel rotating significantly slower than the others, a condition indicative of impending wheel lock it actuates the valves to reduce hydraulic pressure to the brake at the affected wheel thereby reducing the brake force on that wheel. When ABS is active the driver will feel the brake pedal pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS module. 18 ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) NOTE If the ABS warning lamp lights up then there is a malfunction in the ABS system (the standard braking system will however function) and the vehicle should be driven cautiously to the nearest TATA MOTORS Authorized Service outlet. WARNINGS The fact that a vehicle is fitted with ABS must never tempt the driver into taking risks that could affect his/her safety or that of others. In all cases it remains the driver’s responsibility to drive within safety margins, taking into consideration prevailing weather and traffic conditions. DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITION DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITION: Driving Through Water : SAFETY • Do not attempt to start the engine Driving on a Rainy Day : if vehicle gets flooded due to water. Tow the car to a safe place. • Take the vehicle to 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. • Check brakes, steering and 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 fast idling and crawl the vehicle in low gear. • After driving through water apply brakes several times to dry liners and to regain original braking. 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. 19 01 01 SAFETY Night Driving : DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITION • Put on hazard warning switch in case of hazardous parking or if your vehicle is disabled to warn the passing traffic. • Dip the head lamp for oncoming traffic during night driving. • Maintain a speed such that you can stop within illuminated distance of head lamps. 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 overrevving of the engine. • Choose as smooth a slope as alert other road users on turns/ cross roads etc. possible and select the appropriate gear so that gear changing in the middle of the climb is not required. • Use side indicators for lane change • Changing gears in the middle of the • Use head lamp main/dip beam to or turning. 20 climb can cause loss of momentum and engine stalling. Shifting to a DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITION lower gear has to be done cautiously to avoid loss of traction. SAFETY Descending Sharp Gradients : • Never move the vehicle diagonally across a hill. The danger is in loss of traction and sideways slippage, possibly resulting in tipping over. If unavoidable, choose as mild an angle as possible and keep the vehicle moving. • 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. • If the vehicle stalls or losses headway while climbing a steep hill, make a quick shift to reverse and allow the vehicle to move back with the control of engine compression. • 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. 21 01 02 OPENING & CLOSING IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM: (If provided) Immobilizer system is designed to prevent car theft by electronically disabling the engine starting system. The engine can be started only with car’s original Immobilizer ignition key which has an electronic identification programmed code. Immobilizer system consists of following components : 1.

Maintain correct tyre pressure, it is very important particularly when subjected to extreme conditions, such as high speed, high load and high outside temperature. Do 81 06 06 STARTING & DRIVING FUEL SAVING TIPS FUEL SAVING TIPS : Always maintain clean air-filter: Your vehicle's fuel economy is mainly dependent on your style of driving. The amount of air supplied will reduce due to clogged air-filter, resulting in wastage of fuel due to incomplete combustion. To operate your vehicle as economically as possible, use the following driving suggestions. Avoid Excessive Idling : Stop the engine and start it again, if you have to wait for more than a minute. e.g. At Traffic Signals. Avoid fast starts and unnecessary stops : Start off slowly from traffic lights or stop signs to prevent increased fuel consumption and shortening of engine life. Avoid unnecessary deceleration (stopping or slowing down) and then acceleration which uses more fuel. 82 Avoid incorrect tyre pressure : Under-inflated tyres result in increased running resistance of the tyres, leading to wastage of fuel. (Refer tyre maintenance section) Proper Driving Practices : Keep a safe distance from other vehicles to avoid braking suddenly. NOTE Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal. It does not allow full engine power to be transmitted to the vehicle and reduces clutch life. Fuel economy speeds : Gear Speed (kmph) 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th TDi Quadrajet Safire CR4 20 20 20 15 30 30 30 30 40 30 40 45 50 50 60 60 60 70 70 80 GOOD DRIVING PRACTICES & RUNNING IN GOOD DRIVING PRACTICES: • Gear shifting should be gradual according to varying speeds. Avoid rapid acceleration and prolonged high speed running of the engine while using the new vehicle for the first 1500-1800 km of operation. • Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help for avoiding revving of the engine causing damage. • Avoid frequent brake application which can cause overheating of brakes. • Slower the vehicle speed while travelling in cross winds. This gives much better control over the vehicle. • Avoid high speed when cornering or turning. • Make sure that vehicle is completely stationary before you attempt to shift in reverse gear. This will avoid damage to the transaxle. STARTING & DRIVING • Drive slowly on wet roads. Wet roads reduce vehicle traction and affect your ability to stop and accelerate. When the vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply. Slow down slightly before pulling back into the travel lanes. RUNNING-IN PERIOD : Avoid rapid acceleration and prolonged high speed running of the engine while using the new vehicle for the first 15001800 km of operation. Do not exceed the following road speeds during running in period. Gear 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th (kmph) TDi Quadrajet Safire CR4 20 20 20 20 30 30 30 40 50 50 50 50 80 80 80 80 90 90 90 90 Before you shift to reverse gear, bring your vehicle to a complete stop and depress the clutch pedal fully. Do not shift into reverse gear when the vehicle is moving forward. While shifting the gears, it is recommended to shift at the speeds given in the table. You can get extra braking from the engine when slowing down by shifting to a lower gear. This can help you to maintain a safe speed and prevent your brakes from overheating while going down a steep hill. NOTE Avoid excessive revving up of engine rpm. Idling the engine for long duration must be avoided. 83 06 06 STARTING & DRIVING FRONT SEAT ADJUSTMENTS: SEAT & SEAT ADJUSTMENTS 2.

Never depress the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal at the same time. 92 BRAKES & BRAKING Water on brake discs and brake pads affects braking: Driving in rain and slush or in a vehicle wash can cause water to collect on the brake discs and pads. This will cause a delay in braking effect when the pedal is depressed. To avoid such a delay when the brakes are needed, depress the pedal occasionally when driving through rain, slush etc. This will remove the water from the brakes. Check that brake application feels normal. This should also be done after washing or starting in very damp or cold weather. Severe strain on the brake system: The brakes will be subject to severe strain when driving in mountains or hilly areas, or when towing. Vehicle speed is usually slower, which means that the cooling of the brakes is less efficient than when driving on level roads. To reduce the strain on the brakes, shift into a lower gear and let the engine help with the braking. Do not forget that, if you are towing, the brakes will be subjected to a greater than normal load. WARNINGS If you shift gear down on a slippery road surface in an attempt to increase the engine's braking effect, the wheels could lose their grip. This may lead to increased danger of skidding and accidents. Do not shift down for additional engine braking on a slippery road surface. NOTE Occasional brake noise is normal. If a squeal metal-to-metal, continuous grinding sound is present; the brake linings may be worn-out and should be inspected by an authorized TATA MOTORS dealer or If the vehicle has continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking, the vehicle should be inspected by authorized TATA MOTORS dealer.

Ç Ç 0.7mm to 0.8mm Spark Plug - BOSCH Spark Plug No. - FR6 DC4 Spark Plug Gap - 0.7 mm to 0.8 mm You should inspect the spark plugs periodically for carbon deposits. When carbon accumulates on the spark plug, a strong spark will not be produced. Remove carbon deposits using a spark plug cleaner. Spark Plug Replacement : 1. Clean up any dirt or oil that is collected around the spark plug caps. 2. Pull out the spark plug cables by gripping at the connector. 3. Remove the spark plug with the help of a special socket. 4. Check and adjust the gap, it should be 0.7 mm to 0.8 mm. 5. Replace the spark plug if the gap is more than 1.2 mm. 6. Fix the spark plug and tighten it to the torque of 25 Nm (dry). 7. Fit the spark plug cable, until a 'click' sound is heard. Repeat the procedure for the other spark plugs. NOTICE Tighten the spark plug carefully. Overtightening can damage the threads in the cylinder head. A loose spark plug or loose spark plug cable can affect combustion and cause damage to engine and catalytic converter. 123 08 08 MAINTENANCE & SERVICING TYRES : 1 2 TYRES You should have your own tyre pressure gauge and use it at all times. This makes it easier for you to tell if pressure loss is caused by a tyre problem and not by variation between gauges. 3 Keeping the tyres properly inflated gives you the best combination of riding comfort, handling, tyre life and better fuel efficiency. 1 2 1. Under inflation 3 Excessive Side Tread Wear 2. Correct Tyre Tyre Wear Pressure Uniform 3. Over inflation Excessive Centre Tread Wear Check for inflation and condition of your vehicle tyres periodically. Inflation : Check the pressure in the tyres when they are cold. 124 Over inflation of tyres makes the vehicle ride bumpy and harsh. Tyres are more prone to uneven wear and damage from road hazards. Under inflated tyres reduce your comfort in vehicle handling and are prone to failures due to high temperature. They also cause uneven wear and more fuel consumption. Recommended Tyre Pressures Veh Wheels Condition Unladen TYRE PRESSURE PSI Bar FAW 30-35 2.1-2.4 RAW 28-32 1.9-2.2 NOTE Lower air pressure (30, 28 psi is recommended if you prefer riding comfort. NOTE Every time you check inflation pressure, you should also examine tyres for damage, trapping of foreign objects in the treads and wear. The recommended tyre pressure is mentioned as a permissible range in which tyre pressure can be adjusted. The higher value is recommended for getting better fuel economy and lower value is for better ride comfort. TYRES For correct tyre pressure, please refer to sticker on right hand side “B” pillar below the chassis number. NOTE • If you notice bumps or bulges in the tread or the side of the tyre, replace the tyre. • If there are cuts, splits or cracks in the side of the tyre, replace the tyre. • Replace tyre if excessive tread wear or non uniform tyre wear is noticed. Repairing a Tyre : Mark the tyre position suitably (if original colour dot mark is not visible) with respect to valve stem hole to ensure that the tyre is refitted in the original location on the wheel rim. Ensure that balancing weights are not disturbed during removal of tyres. MAINTENANCE & SERVICING Check the balance weight prior to the removal of the tyre. If found loose, mark its location on the rim and refit properly. Balance the wheel after every dismantling and assembly of tyre on the wheel rim. While fitting wheels on the vehicle ensure that wheel pins are free from dust, scratches, dirt, dents, etc. NOTE Do not apply any oil on the wheel pins. Wipe off the oil if present. Special care for tubeless tyres : 1. While removing tyre from wheel rim and mounting it back on wheel rim, take precautions not to damage tyre bead. Use tyre removal and assembly machines. Damage or cut on tyre bead may cause gradual loss of air and deflation of tyre. 2. Do not scratch inside of tubeless tyre with metallic or sharp object. Tubeless tyres are coated with impermeable layer of rubber from inside which holds the air inside the tyre. Removal of this layer due to scratching may cause gradual loss of air and deflation. 3. If wheel rim gets damaged in service, get the wheel rim repaired/ replaced immediately. Running the vehicle with damaged rim may cause deflation of tyre and subsequent dislodging of tyre from rim. 4. Maintain recommended inflation pressure. Over-inflation, in particular, may cause puncture or bursting of tyre. NOTE Life and wear pattern of tyres depends on various parameters like tyre pressure, wheel alignment, wheel balancing, tyre rotation, etc. 125 08 08 MAINTENANCE & SERVICING It also largely depends on car speed, load carried, usage, driving habits, road conditions, tyre quality, etc. In case fault is suspected to be due to poor quality of tyres, the same may be taken up with concerned tyre manufacturer. Tyre Rotation : TYRES To help increase tyre life and distribute wear more evenly you should have tyres rotated at specified intervals or earlier depending on the operation of vehicle. The illustrations shows how to rotate tyres when normal spare wheel is included in tyre rotation. Wheels of your vehicle are balanced for better ride comfort and longer tyre life. Balancing needs to be done whenever tyre is removed from rim. 1. Permissible imbalance for tyre with rim = 250 gm-cm max. Wheel alignment : 2. Total balance weight should be within 140 gms on each side. Incorrect wheel alignment causes excessive and uneven tyre wear. Check wheel alignment at specified intervals. Wheel alignment values are given below : 3. Relocate the tyre if the weight required to balance is more than 140 gm. Front Rear Caster 3.1’ + 45’ --- Camber 30’ + 30’ -52’ + 10 - 12’ + 15’ 0’ to -13’ - Toe in Toe Out Check and maintain tyre pressure periodically to obtain longer tyre life. 126 Wheel Balancing : 4. Balance weights are available from 10 gms to 140 gms in steps of every 10 gms and from 15 gms to 135 gms in steps of every 10 gms. 5. Do not use more than one balance weight on one side. BATTERY BATTERY : Check the battery for proper electrolyte level and corrosion on the terminals. 1. Check the battery for electrolyte level against the marking on the battery outer case. 2. Check the battery terminals for corrosion (a white or yellowish powder). To remove it, cover the terminals with a solution of baking soda. It will bubble up and turn brown. 3. When this stops, wash it off with plain water. Dry off the battery with a cloth or paper towel. 4. Coat the terminals with petroleum jelly to prevent future corrosion. Use a proper wrench to loosen and remove cables from the terminals. Always disconnect the negative (-ve) cable first and reconnect it last. MAINTENANCE & SERVICING Clean the battery terminals with a terminal cleaning tool or wire brush. shield or have a skilled technician to do the battery maintenance.

ENVIRONMENT SAFETY TATA MOTORS LTD. is committed to produce vehicles using environmentally sustainable technology. A number of 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 vehicle 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 vehicle in a proactive manner. A lot depends on your driving style and the way you maintain your vehicle. We have given a few tips for your guidance. DRIVING ¾ ¾ ¾ Avoid frequent and violent acceleration. Do not carry any unnecessary weight in the vehicle as it overloads the engine. Avoid using devices requiring high power consumption during slow city traffic condition. Monitor the vehicle’s fuel consumption regularly and if showing rising trend get the car immediately attended at the Company’s Authorised Service Outlets. ¾ Switch off the engine during long stops at traffic jams or signals. If you need to keep the engine running, avoid unnecessary revving it up or stopping and starting. ¾ It is not necessary to rev up the engine before turning it off as it unnecessarily burns the fuel. ¾ Shift to higher gears as soon as it is possible. Use each gear upto 2/3rd of it’s maximum engine speed. A chart indicating gear shifting speeds is given in this book. MAINTENANCE ¾ Ensure that recommended maintenance is carried out on the vehicle regularly at the Authorised Service Outlets. ¾ As soon as you see any leakages of oil or fuel in the vehicle we recommend to get it attended immediately. ¾ Use only recommended grades and specified quantity of lubricants. ¾ Get your vehicle checked for emission periodically by an authorised dealer 159 12 12 ENVIRONMENT SAFETY ¾ Ensure that fuel filter, oil filter and breather are ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ checked periodically and replaced, if required, as recommended by Tata Motors.
