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

operating your vehicle in a proactive manner. A lot
depends on your driving style and the way you maintain

Avoid frequent and violent acceleration.

Do not carry any unnecessary weight in the vehicle

Monitor the vehicle’s fuel consumption regularly and
if showing rising trend get the car immediately
attended at the Company’s Authorised Service

jams or signals. If you need to keep the engine
running, avoid unnecessary revving it up or stopping
and starting.

It is not necessary to rev up the engine before
turning it off as it unnecessarily burns the fuel.
