condition. Contact TATA MO-
TORS Authorized Dealer/Service
Center.

Press the clutch fully when gear
shifting. The reverse gear should
be engaged only when the vehi-
cle is stationary.

Use the clutch only to shift gears
and do not use it when vehicle is
stationary on a slope, as the car
will roll down due to gravity.

If all doors are closed when the
vehicle is in ACC/IGN/RUN mode
and if PEPS does not detect the
smart key inside the car, then an
audio warning is given.

Do not rest your hand on the shift
lever during driving; Pressure
transmitted from your hand may
result in premature wear of the
transaxle internal gear shift
mechanism
Reverse gear
To engage reverse gear, lift the latch and
keeping latch lifted, shift to reverse posi-
tion.
Driving
Climbing Sharp Gradients on Loose
Surfaces
Start off smoothly in a suitable gear. Ac-
celerate smoothly so that there is no loss
of traction by over-revving of the engine.
Choose a smooth slope 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 lower gear
has to be done cautiously to avoid loss
of traction.
Under no conditions should the vehicle
be moved diagonally across a hill. The
danger is in loss of traction and sideways
slippage, possibly resulting in toppling
over. If unavoidable, choose a mild angle
and keep the vehicle moving.
