Taking care of the Environment Tata Motors is committed to producing cars using environmental friendly technology. A number of features have been incorporated in our passenger cars which are specifically designed to ensure environmental compatibility throughout the life cycle of the car. We would like to inform you that your car meets emission norms and is being regularly validated at the manufacturing stages to keep up with the stringent emission norms. • Switch off the engine during long stops at traffic jams or signals. If you need to keep the engine running, avoid unnecessary revving or stopping and starting. • It is not necessary to rev up the engine before turning it off as it unnecessarily burns the fuel. • 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. As a user you too can protect the environment by operating your car in a proactive manner. A lot depends on your driving style and the way you maintain your car. Listed below are few tips that will help you do so. MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR : WHILE DRIVING : • Ensure that recommended maintenance is carried out on the car regularly at the Tata Motors Authorised Service Outlets. • As soon as you notice any leakage of oil or fuel in the car we recommend that you get it attended immediately. • Use only recommended brands and grades of lubricants & coolants and clean/uncontaminated fuels. • Avoid frequent and violent acceleration. • Do not carry any unnecessary weight on the vehicle as it overloads the engine. • Avoid using devices requiring high power consumption during slow traffic condition. • Monitor the car’s fuel consumption regularly. If it shows 23 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION • Get your vehicle checked for emission periodically by our authorised dealer and regularly renew the P.U.C. Certificate. • Ensure that fuel filter, oil filter, breathers are periodically checked and if required, replace the same using only genuine recommended brands. • • • • 24 Do not pour used oils or coolants into sewage drains, garden soil or open streams. Dispose of the used filters and batteries in compliance with the current legislation. Do not allow any unauthorised person to tamper with the engine settings or to carry out modifications on the car. While carrying out the servicing or repairs of your car, you should pay keen attention to some of the important engine aggregates which greatly affect emission. These components are : 1. Fuel injection pump , Injectors / Nozzles 2. Air intake & Exhaust system especially for leakage 3. Cylinder head for valve leakage 4. All filters such as air, oil & fuel filters (check periodically) 5. Catalytic converter 6. E.G.R. system (Diesel) Never allow the vehicle to run out of fuel. This will result in misfiring of the engine and could cause harm to the catalytic cinverter. 7. Turbocharger & Intercooler (Diesel) Parts like brake liners and clutch disc should be vacuum cleaned. Do not use compressed air for cleaning these parts which may spread the dust in the atmosphere. This Owner’s Manual & Service Book contains further information on driving precautions and maintenance care leading to environment protection.

Manual Operation of Central Door Locking / Unlocking All doors can be locked / unlocked from driver door lock without using remote. 3. Emergency Disarming Procedure (In case of loss or failure of Remote Unit) With every vehicle fitted with an immobiliser, the owner is supplied with a card giving a secrete code number, and instructions for emergency disarming of the security system. This is to be used in case the remote is lost, or malfunctions, while the vehicle is in armed or autoarmed condition. It will help the owner disarm the security system and start the vehicle. The Confidential Code Card is supplied to the vehicle owner in a sealed plastic cover. This plastic cover is to be opened only by the vehicle owner. Note : Emergency disarming of the vehicle will disarm the vehicle once only. When ELECTRICAL SECURITY SYSTEM Ignition is switched OFF and key removed subsequently, vehicle can auto immobilise again. a) If the complete system is armed by remote, enter the vehicle using the mechanical key and turn the Ignition ON and then to OFF. i) The turn indicators start flashing and audio alarm starts sounding. In the meantime the instrument cluster LED stops flashing for about 5 seconds and then starts flashing very slowly. ii) Count the number of these slow flashes. iii) When the number of flashes are equal to the first digit of your secret code, turn the ignition ON (for example, if the first digit of your code is 3, wait for the LED to flash 3 times before turning the ignition ON). The instrument cluster LED gives some quick flashes indicating that the first digit entered is correct. Turn the Ignition OFF. iv) After the quick flashes the instrument cluster LED stops flashing for about 2 seconds and then starts flashing slowly. v) Count the number of flashes. When the numbers of flashes are equal to the second digit of your secret code, turn the Ignition ON (for example, if the second digit of your code is 2 wait for the LED to flash twice before turning the ignition ON). BEFORE DRIVING The instrument cluster LED gives some quick flashes indicating that the second digit entered is correct. Turn the Ignition OFF. In the same manner you can enter the remaining digits of your secret code, following the above procedure from step no. (iv) above. In case of error take out the key and insert it again into the Ignition switch, turn the ignition switch ON and OFF and repeat the procedure from step no. i above. ONCE ALL THE DIGITS HAVE BEEN ENTERED PROPERLY THE SYSTEM WILL DISARM ITSELF. THIS WILL BE CONFIRMED BY THE SHORT FLASHING OF TURN INDICATORS. THEREAFTER, THE VEHICLE CAN BE STARTED. b) If only Immobiliser is armed due to automatic activation then enter the vehicle and insert the key into the Ignition switch. No audio alarm sounding and flashing of turn indicators will take place. Switching the ignition to ON and then OFF will stop blinking of instrument cluster LED. Wait for the instrument cluster LED to start flashing slowly. Starts from step no. ii above to disarm the system. 35 BEFORE DRIVING Learning of New Remotes : To Learn new remote following procedure to be followed. i) Put the vehicle key into the steering lock and turn the Ignition key to ON and OFF position 3 times then turn the ignition back on within 5 seconds. ii) After step (i) above the Control Unit enters the Remote Learning mode indicated by flashing of turn indicators (4 times) within 8 seconds follow step (iii) below or Learn routine would be exited. iii) Press Lock and Unlock buttons together. Learning of remote would be confirmed by actuators moving to Lock position and then to unlock position and fast blinking of dashboard LED for 2 to 3 seconds. To learn second remote repeat step (iii) within 8 seconds. To erase old lost remote: Learning a new remote would erase the previously learnt remotes. Important : For security reasons, every system can accept a maximum of only two remotes. Every learning procedure disables the remotes which the system had previously ‘learnt’. In case of any error in performing the above sequences the whole procedure has to be repeated from step no. i above. 36 ELECTRICAL SECURITY SYSTEM Battery changing procedure for Indica/Indigo Remote Key : Back view of Remote Key Remote after opening the back side screw Battery Specification - LiCoin Battery ELECTRICAL SECURITY SYSTEM SPECIAL FEATURE : 1. Theft detection & Panic Alarm Once the system is armed, the system can sense/detect irregularity by the following conditions: • Through key in sensor (any unauthorized insertion of key in the Ignition Lock) • Through opening of door Once an irregularity is sensed, the system triggers and audible and visual alarm of about 30 seconds. To stop the alarm press Unlock push-button of remote unit, the audio alarm will stop, all doors will unlock and system will disarm. 2. Limited Alarm Cycle This facility is designed to minimize any environmental disturbance in confirmity with the regulations in force in many countries. The system is equipped with a software that limits the number of repeated alarm cycles generated by any detectors to a maximum of 10 per arming period. This means the alarm will trigger for 30 seconds in case any theft attempt is made on the vehicle and after that the audio alarm will automatically stop. If further theft attempt is detected (i.e. the alarm will again BEFORE DRIVING trigger for 30 seconds. After 10 such cycles of 30 seconds each, no alarm triggering will take place. It will be reinstated the next time the system is armed. 3. Status Memory In the event that the vehicle battery supply is disconnected and then reconnected, the internal memory of the system remembers the armed/disarmed state it was previously in. 4. Automatic Activation of the Engine Immobiliser The function of engine immobilisation is vital to the security of a vehicle. Therefore, its activation has been made automatic (”passive”). That is : the engine of your vehicle will be immobilised automatically even if you forget to arm the system via the remote control in the following cases : a) If the key is removed from ignition switch, then if any door is opened but not closed the immobiliser will auto arm after approx 5 minutes from the door opening. b) If the key is removed from the Ignition switch, any door is opened and all doors are then closed, then the immobiliser will auto arm after approx. 2 minutes of last door closing. 37 BEFORE DRIVING c) If no door is opened, immobilizer will automatically arm within 5 mins. to unlock position immediately and rest of doors will not lock. d) After receiving unlock command, if door open /key in/ ignition on is not sensed by ECU, immobilizer will automatically arm within 5 mins. of unlock button press. ii. When locking is done through remote, if any door is open, the system will go into panic state (alarm mode). In this condition to stop the alarm, the user has to press Unlock push-button of the remote once. The audio alarm will stop, all doors will unlock and system will disarm. Now close all the doors properly and press Lock pushbutton of remote to lock the vehicle and arm the sytem. In any of the above cases (a) and (b), only the engine immobiliser will auto arm. The instrument cluster LED will start blinking. And there will be no automatic locking of doors or automatic of alarm in these cases. To start the vehicle press Unlock push-button of remote unit from outside the vehicle or after switching ON the Ignition. 5. Auto Locking / Unlocking of doors When the vehicle is started, every time the Ignition key returns from “Crank Position” to the “Ignition ON Position”, all doors get locked after approx. 5 seconds (only doors get locked, no immobilization takes place). As soon as the Ignition is switched OFF, all doors unlock automatically. 6. Open Door Sensing i.

Proper Driving Practices : Keep a safe distance from other vehicles to avoid braking suddenly. Switch OFF the engine if you have to stop for more than a minute. 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. Avoid fast starts & unnecessary stops : Fuel economy speeds : Start off slowly from traffic lights or stop signs to prevent excessive fuel consumption and reduced engine life. Avoid unnecessary deceleration (stopping or slowing down) and then acceleration which uses more fuel. Always maintain clean air-cleaner : The amount of air supplied will reduce due to clogged aircleaner, resulting in waste of fuel due to incomplete combustion. Avoid incorrect tyre pressures : Gear 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th DIESEL TCIC COMMON RAIL Speed (kmph) Speed (kmph) 15 15 25 30 45 45 65 60 70 80 PETROL MPFI Speed (kmph) 10 20 30 40 50 Under-inflated tyres result in increased running resistance of the tyres, leading to wastage of fuel. 93 STARTING & DRIVING THE CAR MPFI System : NOTICE The multi point fuel injection system has been designed to meet various load and speed conditions of the engine and doesn't require any regular maintenance. MPFI system should be serviced by Authorised Service personnel only, if required. TIPS RELATED TO FUEL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE (MPFI) : Basically, the fuel system of the vehicle consists of the following main components : 1. Fuel tank 2. Fuel Filter 3. Fuel Pump 4. Fuel Rail 5. Fuel pressure regulator and 6. Fuel injector. The following instructions are to be followed for reducing problems related to the fuel system. a) Avoid keeping the fuel tank empty and preferably keep it topped up as frequently as possible. NOTICE NOTICE Empty fuel tank may lead to inner corrosion of the tank. The rust particles thus formed may result in frequent clogging of fuel filters. If the rust particles enter the system, it may result in malfunctioning of the MPFI system. 94 FUEL ECONOMY b) Replace clogged fuel filters to prevent inconsistent fuel delivery from the fuel pump. DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS STARTING & DRIVING THE CAR Driving Through Water : • Never venture to drive through water when it flows above the stone guard or above the tyre centre line. • The engine may get seriously damaged if attempts are made to cross through deep water. • If at all the situation demands that you have to drive through water even at great risk then, keep the engine in fast idling and 'crawl' in low gear. • After driving through water apply the brakes several times to dry the liners and to regain original braking. • Check the engine and transaxle for any water entry. Do not attempt to start the engine if the car gets flooded due to water. • Tow the car to a safe place. • Take the car to the nearest Authorised Service outlet to check for entry of water in the engine. • Lubricants in the engine and transaxle need to be changed in case of water entry. 95 STARTING & DRIVING THE CAR Driving on a Rainy Day : • Check wiper blades for proper functioning. • Check brakes, steering and windows. • Check tyres for wear and tyre pressure. Worn out tyres are unsafe on wet roads. • Avoid harsh braking and sharp turns. It may cause loss of steering control and lead to the car skidding. • For slowing down, shift to lower gears and apply brakes gently. • Keep lights on if visibility is poor. • Use heater and demister if required to clear off mist on the windshield. Night Driving : • Dip the head lamp for oncoming traffic during night driving. • Maintain a speed such that you can stop within illuminated distance of the head lamps. • Use head lamp main/dip beam to alert other users on turns/cross roads, etc. • Use side indicators to indicate lane change or turning. • Put on the hazard warning switch in case of hazardous parking or if your car is disabled to warn passing traffic. Put on the fog lamps (for Deluxe version) if required. 96 DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS STARTING & DRIVING THE CAR 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. • Choose as smooth a slope as possible and 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. • Never move the car 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 car 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 car stalls or losses headway while climbing a steep hill, make a quick shift to reverse and allow the car to move back with the control of engine compression. 97 STARTING & DRIVING THE CAR DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS & TOWING THE VEHICLE 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. Towing the Vehicle : • For towing a car, the best way is to use a wrecker. • Alternatively use a rigid tow bar. • Avoid using a flexible cable or rope as your car may crash into the car towing your car when it stops suddenly. • Switch ‘ON’ the hazard warning signals of both the cars to warn other road users. • Where possible, keep the engine idling so that power steering assistance and brake vacuum are available. • Limit the speed to 20-30 kmph. • In case of brake failure, use the parking brake to control the car. 98 DRIVING SAFETY & SAFETY CHECKS STARTING & DRIVING THE CAR DRIVING SAFETY Influence of Alcohol : CAR SAFETY CHECKS : Seat-Belt : Avoid driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Alcohol and drugs will severely impair your control on the vehicle and increase the risk of injury to yourself and others.

Jack up the rear wheels and ensure that the wheels are free to rotate in 6th notch. NOTICE • Do not ride the clutch. It will cause premature clutch wear. • Do not release the clutch suddenly. BRAKES : Dual circuit, diagonal split hydraulic brakes through tandem master cylinder have been provided. The front brakes are disc brakes with floating type calipers while the rear brakes are drum brakes with automatic adjustment. No adjustments are required for front & rear brakes. The parking brake is a Parking Brake Adjustment Screw 109 MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE BRAKES (Vacuum Assisted) : The hydraulic brake system of your car is assisted by a vacuum booster which reduced the effort of driver during braking. In the unlikely event of disruption in supply of vacuum to the booster (e.g. stoppage of engine, or failure of vacuum hose) this assistance will still be available but only for one or two brake applications to bring the vehicle to a stop. Beyond this, vacuum assistance will not be felt by the driver and brakes will appear to be hard/ineffective. In order to stop the vehicle effectively the driver will have to apply a much higher force on the brake pedal (roughly 5 times the normal effort). CAUTION Never drive the vehicle in engine switched ‘OFF’ condition. Brake Fluid : Check the level of brake fluid in the brake fluid container. It should be between the MIN. and MAX. marks. If not, then add brake fluid. Clean the area surrounding the cap before opening the cap. Always use fresh brake fluid and tighten the cap fully, otherwise moisture from the atmosphere will be absorbed by the brake fluid, making it unserviceable. 110 BRAKES & BRAKE FLUID In case of spongy or hard pedal or low brake efficiency, please contact the nearest TATA MOTORS Authorised Service outlet and get the defect rectified. POWER STEERING POWER STEERING (if installed) Power steering is fitted for lighter steering effort and easy manoeuverability, during driving and also help absorb the road shocks.

In case of failure in the hydraulic system, the steering can be operated mechanically to bring the car to an Authorised Service outlet. CAUTION Report any external leakage to the nearest Authorised Service outlet. MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE Do not start the engine without oil in the power steering system. This will result in serious damage to the pump. In case of an emergency, disconnect the pump drive belt and then start the engine or drive slowly as vacuum assistance for brake would not be available (as vacuum pump is also being driven by same belt). Always use recommended oil from sealed containers. Any contaminated oil poured in the system will result in damage to the pump and gear box. Avoid mixing of different brands of oils. WARNING Do not allow fluid level to drop significantly or run out of the reservoir during the above operation. This may induce air into the system. Severe damage could occur to the power steering pump due to dry running (Running without sufficient oil and due to severe cavitation on account of air entry due to low oil level). This could lead to loss of power assistance, damage and failure of the power steering system. 111 MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE BATTERY : Check the battery for proper electrolyte level and corrosion on the terminals. WARNING During normal operation, the battery generates gas which is explosive in nature, a spark or open flame can cause the battery to explode causing very serious injuries. Keep all sparks & open flames and smoking materials away from the battery. Getting electrolyte in your eyes or on the skin can cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing and a face shield or have a skilled technician to do the battery maintenance. The battery contains sulphuric acid (electrolyte) which is poisonous and highly corrosive in nature. 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. When this stops wash it off with plain water. Dry off the 112 BATTERY battery with a cloth or paper towel. Coat the terminal 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.

Turbocharger is an efficient supercharging device used in our engine. It makes use of thermal energy of engine exhaust gases to run a turbine which in turn drives a compressor to force air under pressure into the inlet manifold. Lubrication of Turbocharger : The turbocharger rotor assembly is supported by two fully floating bearing bushes in the bearing housing. These bearing bushes are lubricated with finely filtered engine oil from the lubrication system of the engine. Idle the engine for a while (one minute) after starting the engine and before stopping the engine to ensure adequate lubricating oil supply to the turbocharger. Turbocharger Connections : All turbocharger connections must be leak-proof. Check air inlet, air outlet, exhaust gas inlet and exhaust outlet connections as well as oil inlet and outlet connections to the turbocharger and tighten the connections where required. Proper maintenance of air filter, oil filter as well as use of correct grade of oil and adherence to oil change intervals is essential for proper functioning of the turbocharger. 116 TURBOCHARGER (IF FITTED) If you suspect any malfunctioning of the turbocharger, take the vehicle to the nearest dealer. Do not remove the turbocharger yourself. INTERCOOLER (IF FITTED) MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE Intercooler (If fitted): Hot air coming out of turbocharger flows the inter cooler and gets cooled before entering the intake manifold. The inter cooler is mounted on top of cylinder head cover. As such it does not require any maintenance however it can be cleaned externally ( when it is not hot) by blowing compressed air through its fins. Maintenance recommendations: a) Check the boost pressure pipe for its proper fitment, damage etc. Intercooler (TCIC) b) Specified engine and the oil filter should be used and should be changed regularly in accordance with Service Schedule. c) Check oil feed pipes, return pipes, air intake and exhaust piping for leakages and restrictions. d) Check the engine breathing system and oil separator. e) Fill the oil inlet hole of the turbo charger with clean engine oil, when the engine is started after long storage.

Wheel Alignment : Correct wheel alignment helps to ensure uniform tyre wear. You should get your car’s wheel alignment checked regularly as per recommendation. In case uneven tyre wear is observed, the vehicle’s wheel alignment should be checked as soon as possible. Rear Jacking Point Wheel Balancing : Wheels are balanced at the factory. They have to be rebalanced as per recommendations. The wheels should be checked for balance if a tyre or tube is repaired. Whenever a tyre or wheel rim is changed, the tyre needs to be balanced. 1. Permissible imbalance for tyre with rim = 95 gm. cm. (max.) 2. Total balance weight should be within 140 gm on each side. 3. Relocate the tyre on the wheel rim if the weight required to balance is more than 140 gm. Front Jacking Point 121 WHEELS & TYRE MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE 4. Balance weights are available from 5 gm to 140 gm, in steps of 5 gm. 5. Do not use more than one balance weight on one side. TYRES : Check for inflation and condition of your car tyres periodically. Inflation : 1 2 3 Check the pressure in the tyres when they are cold. Refer to the tyre information label fitted on the driver side doorpost for correct cold tyre pressure. Recommended Tyre Pressures : (with cold tyres) For tyre pressure (Refer page ‘Filling Station Information’) 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. Keeping the tyres properly inflated gives you the best combination of riding comfort, handling and tyre life. Over inflation of tyres makes the car ride bumpy and harsh. Tyres are more prone to uneven wear and damage from road hazards. Under inflated tyres reduce your comfort in car handling and are prone to failures due to high temperature. They also cause uneven wear and more fuel consumption. 122 1. Underinflation - Excessive Side Tread Wear 2. Correct Tyre Pressure - Uniform Tyre Wear 3. Overinflation - Excessive Centre Tread Wear WHEELS & TYRE MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE Inspection : CAUTION Every time you check inflation pressure, you should also examine tyres for leakage, damage, foreign objects & wear. You should look for : CAUTION • Bumps or bulges in the tread or the side of the tyre. Replace the tyre if you find either of these conditions. • Cuts, splits or cracks in the side of the tyre. Replace the tyre if you notice this on the fabric or cord. • Excessive tread wear or non uniform tyre wear. Tyre Rotation : 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 car and tyre wear pattern. The illustration shows how to rotate tyres when a normal spare wheel is included in tyre rotation. 123 WHEELS & TYRE MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE Spare Wheel : It is located in the luggage compartment. • To take out the spare wheel, first fold in and lift up the floor cover. • Unscrew and remove retaining bolt, at the centre. • Lift and take out the spare wheel. 2 1 Repairing a Tyre/Tube : 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. Check the balance weight prior to the removal of the tyre. If found loose, mark its location on the rim & refit properly. Balance the wheel after every dismantling and assembly of tyre on the wheel rim. While fitting wheels on the car ensure that wheel pins are free from dust, scratches, dirt, dents, etc. Ensure the tube being replaced has the correct valve. NOTICE Do not apply any oil on the wheel pins. Wipe off the oil if present. 124 1. Spare Wheel 2.

Fuses and relays are located at 3 locations in your car as shown in the sketch. Circuit connected through fuses and relays and the amperage of the fuse is printed on the fuse box covers. MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE If any of the function relays is found defective, replace it by a genuine relay. CAUTION The electrical system is protected by fuses that are designed to foil and prevent damage to wiring harness. Always replace blown fuse with the same rating as specified to prevent wiring damage that can result in a possible fire. Checking and replacing fuses : If any electrical unit in your car has stopped functioning, the fuses should be checked first. • Turn the ignition key to 'LOCK' position. • Remove the fuse box cover, locate the fuse for the function. • Remove the fuse & look for the fuse element inside the fuse. If it is damaged replace it with a fuse of same rating and type. Push the fuse firmly into the holder. • Check that all other fuses are firmly in position & fix the cover back in position. Spare fuses are provided in the fuse box in the cabin. If the replaced fuse of the correct rating burns out in short time, there is probably a serious electrical problem in your car.

CAUTION Halogen head lamp bulbs get very hot when illuminated. Oil, perspiration or a scratch on the glass can cause the bulb to break due to the heat. 129 CAR CARE MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE CAR CARE : The car is subjected to many external influences such as climate, road conditions, industrial pollution and proximity to the sea. These conditions demand regular care of the car body. Dirt, insects, bird droppings, oil, grease, fuel and stone chippings should be removed as soon as possible. Washing : Do not wash the car in direct sunlight, wash in shade. Spray the car thoroughly with a cold water jet (car on a washing pit or hoist). Mix car shampoo in the wash water. No solvent (fuel, thinners) need be used. NOTICE Avoid wiping of painted surface in dry condition as it may leave scratches on the painted surface. Use a soft bristle brush, sponge or soft cloth and rinse it frequently while washing. When you have washed the whole exterior, dry it with a chamois or soft cloth. After drying the car, inspect it for chips and scratches that could allow corrosion to start. Apply touch up paint where necessary. layer of the finish coat. Polish your car if the finish does not regain its original shine after using wax. Cleaning of Carpets : Vacuum clean the carpet regularly to remove dirt. Dirt will make the carpet wear out faster. Periodically shampoo the carpet to keep it looking new. Use carpet cleaners (preferably foam type). Follow the instructions that come with the cleaner, applying it with a sponge or soft brush. Keep the carpeting as dry as possible by not adding water to the foam. Cleaning of Windows, Front & Rear Glass : RFID TAG is pasted on front windshield from inside. It enables Electronic toll collection. DO NOT TRY TO PEEL OFF RFID TAG TML PART NO. 2816 5420 99 05 VENUS WINDSHIELD MOUNT AVI TAG Polishes : Polishes and cleaners can restore shine to the painted surface that has oxidised and become dull. They normally contain mild abrasives and solvents that remove the top 130 NOTICE Do not attempt to rip or tamper the tag. It will disable the functionality of the tag. CAR CARE MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE Clean the windows inside and outside with commercially available glass cleaners. Inflate the tyres to 0.5 bar above the normal specified pressure and check it at regular intervals. This will remove the haze that builds up on the inside of windows. Use a soft cloth or paper towels to clean all glass and plastic surfaces. Check the battery charge every six weeks. Maintaining the car when not in extended use : Park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-ventilated premises. Engage a gear. Remove the cables from the battery terminals (first remove the cable from the negative terminal). Make sure the handbrake is not engaged. Do not drain the engine cooling system. Wiper Care : Wiper blade attack angle on windshield glass should be 900 i.e. perpendicular. Remove wiper blade and root wiper arm on windshield glass in the centre position. Check the gap between arm strip and glass. Adjust by twisting wiper arm as shown in the figure. FOR CHATTERING & NOISY PROBLEMS VIEW WITHOUT WIPER BLADE Clean and protect the painted parts using protective wax. Windshield Glass Clean and protect the shiny metal parts using commercially available special compounds. Sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen wiper and rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass. OK NOT OK Slightly open the windows. Cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic sheet. Do not use sheets of imperforated plastic as they do not allow moisture on the car body to evaporate. 131 CAR CARE MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WILL HELP YOU TO BETTER PROTECT YOUR CAR FROM CORROSION PROPER CLEANING : In order to protect your car from corrosion it is recommended that you wash your car thoroughly and frequently in case : PROPER PARKING : Always park your car in shade to protect it from harsh sunlight or in a well-ventilated garage so that there is no dampness on any part of the car. WASHING YOUR CAR : 1. There is an heavy accumulation of dirt and mud especially on the underbody. Follow these tips while washing your car. 2. It is driven in areas having high atmosphere pollution due to smoke, soot, dust, iron dust & other chemical pollutants. 1. Always wash your car in shade and when the surface is at room temperature. 3. It is driven in coastal areas. 4. The underbody must be thoroughly pressure washed after every three months. In addition to regularly washing your car, the following precautions need to be taken. PERIODIC INSPECTION : 1. Regularly inspect your car for any damage in the paint film such as deep scratches and immediately get them repaired from an Authorised Service Centre, as these defects tend to accelerate corrosion. HAND WASH : 2. Wash with mild car wash soap like "Car Shampoo" and use a soft 100% cotton cloth to avoid scratches. Please take help of your dealer to buy the right products. 3. Please be sure that you remove your wristwatch and wear soft gloves to avoid scratches due to finger rings or nails. 4. To remove stubborn stains and contaminants like tar, use turpentine or cleaners like "Stain Remover" which is safe for painted surfaces. Again your dealer can help you in selecting the right product. 2. Inspect mud liners for damages. 5. Avoid substances like petrol, diesel, kerosene, benzene or other solvents that cause damage to paint. 3. Keep all drain holes clear from clogging. 6. Dry your vehicle thoroughly to prevent any damp spots. 132 CAR CARE MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE 7. Rinse all surfaces thoroughly to prevent any traces of soap and other cleaners as this may lead to the formation of stains on the painted surface later. 3. Always keep your car parked in a well ventilated shade. Exposure to heat with entrapped moisture promotes corrosion. WAXING : 4. Avoid driving on gravel roads, as the possibility of paint chip off due to the impact of stones is high. If you are driving on freshly tarred road, check immediately afterwards for any stains & clean them. Waxing and polishing is recommended to maintain the gloss and wet-look appearance of your paint finish. 1. Use a good quality polish and wax for your car. 2. Re-wax your car when the water does not slip off the surface and collects over the surface in patches. Further tips for the care of your new CAR finish : We recommend that you do not use an automatic car wash as the stiff brushes or sponges could mar the finish and damage the surface of your car. Wash the vehicle by hand with cool and clean water using a soft cloth or sponge. Please do not use soap but a car shampoo recommended by your dealer. Please take the following precautions : 1. Always wash your car in shade, avoiding direct exposure to sunlight during washing. 2. Dry wiping your car may lead to the formation of scratches and hence always use a soft cloth and clean water while wiping your car. 5. External contamination in the form of sap or industrial fall-out may mar or develop spots on a new finish. Hence avoid parking your car near trees, which are known to drop sap, or near factories, which give out heavy smoke. 6. The acid content in bird droppings may damage the newly painted finish and hence any bird dropping must be immediately washed off. 7. The paint finish is susceptible to damage in case petrol, brake fluid, liquid from car battery, oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid or windshield solvent spills onto the painted surface. In case of such a spillage immediately rinse the affected area with water. Avoid wiping the area as far as possible, however if wiping is required, ensure that you wipe the area gently with soft cotton cloth. 8. Avoid using sharp objects to scrap off tar or mud from a painted surface as it may develop scratches or may peel off the paint. 133 MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE 134 EMERGENCY SERVICE TIPS EMERGENCY SERVICE TIPS • Engine • Clutch • Transaxle • Brakes • Steering System • Electrical • Suspension 135 EMERGENCT SERVICE TIPS These tips are given for your guidance.
