STARTING & DRIVING
- Starting & Stopping
STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting the engine :
• Apply the parking brake fully.
• Ensure that the gear lever is in neutral position.
Starting the engine (Diesel)
•
Press the clutch pedal fully and turn the ignition key to
‘IGN’ position. Ensure the
“CHECH ENGINE” (BS-
III)“MIL” (BS-IV)
lamp turns “ON”.
NOTICE
The Starter Protection System fitted in this car does not
allow you to crank the engine until you fully press the clutch
pedal.
•
The glow plug indicator on the instrument panel will
glow.
•
Wait till the glow plug indicator goes off.
•
Do not press the accelerator pedal.
•
Keep the clutch pedal fully pressed and crank the en-
gine, if the engine cranks but fails to start then repeat the
above procedure. Release the key as soon as the en-
gine starts. Ensure that the “MIL” lamp is “OFF”.
•
After starting the engine, keep the engine in idling
for at least 30 seconds. Do not accelerate the engine
immediately after starting to avoid damage to tur-
bocharger. (Diesel)
NOTICE
The Starter Protection System switches off the starter when
it is cranked for more than 10 secs. In such a case, get the
key back to OFF position and wait for 30 secs before crank-
ing again. This safeguards the starter motor as cranking
continuously for more than 10 secs can damage the starter
motor. Also immediately release the key after the engine
has started, otherwise the flywheel ring/ starter motor may
get damaged.
NOTICE
Tata Indigo diesel cars use Electronic Micro Processor
Controller to control critical engine parameters like pre/post
glow and cold advance. The glow plug and cold advance
function will remain on even after starting of the engine
depending on the engine coolant temperature at the start.
It is quite likely that at higher altitude (above 2000 meters)
one may experience exhaust smoke being white in colour
or engine hesitations in cold driving condition. The above
observations are for few seconds only, and in order to
contain the happening, it is suggested that after idle run of
30 seconds on a cold engine start, the car can be driven
off.
