ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
TATA MOTORS PASSENGER VEHICLE
LIMITED
is committed to pro-duce
vehicles using environmentally sus-
tainable technology. A number of features
have been incorporated in TATA MOTORS
passenger vehicles which have been de-
signed to ensure environmental compati-
bility throughout the life cycle of the
vehicle. We would like to inform you that
your vehicle meets BS VI emission norms
and this is being regularly validated at the
manufacturing stages.
As a user you too can protect the
environ-ment by operating your vehicle in
a proac-tive manner. A lot depends on
your driving style and the way you
maintain your vehi-cle. We have given
a few tips for your guidance.
Driving
Avoid frequent and violent accelera- •
tion.
Do not carry any unnecessary weight •
in the vehicle as it overloads the en-
gine. 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 vehicle immediately attended
at the Company’s Authorised Service
Outlets.
Switch off the engine during long stops •
at traffic jams or signals. If you need to
keep the engine running, avoid unnec-
essary revving it or stopping and start-
ing.
It is not necessary to rev the engine •
before turning it off as it unnecessarily
burns fuel.
Shift to higher gears as soon as it is •
possible. Use each gear upto 2/3rd of
its maximum engine speed.
A chart indicating gear shifting speeds •
is given in this book.
Maintenance
Ensure that recommended mainte- •
nance is carried out on the vehicle reg-
ularly at the Authorised Service
Outlets.
As soon as you see any leakages of oil •
or fuel in the vehicle we recommend to
get it attended immediately.
Use only recommended grades and •
specified quantity of lubricants.
Get your vehicle checked for emission •
periodically by an authorised dealer.
Check Air filter, fuel filter and oil filter •
periodically and replaced, if required,
as recommended by TATA MOTORS.
Do not pour used oils or coolants into •
the sewage drains, garden soil or open
streams. Dispose the used filters and
batteries in compliance with the current
legislation.
Do not allow unauthorized person to •
tamper with engine settings or to carry
modifications on the vehicle.
Never allow the vehicle to run out of •
fuel.
Parts like brake liners, clutch discs •
should be vacuum cleaned. Do not use
compressed air for cleaning these
parts, which may spread hazardous
dust in the atmosphere.
