TATA MOTORS
is committed to
produce vehicles using
environmentally sustainable
technology. A number of features have
been incorporated in
Tata Motors
Passenger Car 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 meets Emission
norms and this is being regularly
validated at the stage of
manufacturing.
As a user, you too can protect the
environment by operating your vehicle
in a pro-active manner. A lot depends
on your driving style and the way you
maintain your vehicle. We are giving
below a few tips for your guidance.
Driving
•
Avoid frequent and violent
accelerations.
•
Do not carry any unnecessary
weight on the vehicle as it
overloads the engine. Avoid using
devices requiring high power
consumption during slow traffic
condition.
•
Monitor the cars fuel consumption
regularly and if it shows a rising
trend, get the car immediately
attended at our Authorised
Service Centre.
•
Switch off the engine during long
stops at traffic jams or signals. If
the situation demands that engine
be kept running, avoid frequent
revving up of the engine. Also
avoid frequent stopping and
restarting, if uncalled for.
•
It is not necessary to rev up the
engine before turning it off as it
unnecessarily burns the fuel.
•
Shift to higher gears as soon as
possible. Use each gear upto 2/3rd
of its maximum engine speed. A
chart indicating gear shifting speed
is given in this book.
Maintenance of the vehicle
•
Ensure that recommended
maintenance is carried out on the
vehicle regularly at our Authorised
Service Outlets.
•
As soon as you see any leakages
of oil or fuel in the car, get it
attended immediately.
•
Use only recommended brands and
grades of lubricants and clean
uncontaminated fuels.
•
Get your vehicle checked for
emission periodically by
authorised dealer and regularly
renew the P.U.C. certificate.
•
Ensure that fuel filter, oil filter and
breathers are periodically checked
and if required, replace the same
by only genuine Tata Motor’s
recommended brands.
•
Do not pour used oils or coolants
into the sewage drains, garden soil
or open streams. Dispose the used
