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.
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.
WHILE DRIVING :
Ø
Avoid frequent and violent acceleration.
Ø
Do not carry any unnecessary weight on the vehicle as it
overloads the engine.
Ø
Avoid using devices requiring high power consumption
during slow traffic condition.
Ø
It is not advisable to warm up the engine during the first
start of the day by idling, as cold temperatures within the
engine could cause rise in the emission such as CO & HC
particulate.
Ø
Monitor the car’s fuel consumption regularly. If it shows
a rising trend get the car immediately attended to at the
TATA MOTORS Authorised Service Centre.
Ø
Switch off the engine during long stops at traffic jams or
signals. If you need to keep the engine running, avoid
unnecessarily revving or stopping and starting.
Ø
Use only unleaded fuel in petrol cars.
Ø
It is not necessary to rev up the engine before turning it
off as it unnecessarily burns the fuel.
Ø
For petrol cars switch off the ignition only when engine
is at idling and when the vehicle is stationary, not when
the vehicle is running.
Ø
Shift to higher gears as soon as it is possible. Use each
gear upto 2/3
rd
of it’s maximum engine speed. A chart
indicating gear shifting speeds is given in this book.
MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR :
Ø
Ensure that recommended maintenance is carried out
on the car regularly at the TATA MOTORS Authorised
Service Outlets.
