NOTE
Topping of the coolant should be
done in the auxiliary tank only.
Make sure that only TATA MOTORS rec-
ommended coolant is used. Mixing of
different coolants may harm your en-
gine’s cooling system and its compo-
nents. Do not add extra inhibitors or ad-
ditives to the coolant. These can be
harmful and compromise the corrosion
protection of the engine coolant.
WARNING
The engine cooling system is pres-
surized, particularly when the en-
gine is warm. When opening the
cap, you could be scalded by hot
coolant spraying out. There is a risk
of injury.
Let the engine cool down before
opening the cap. Wear eye and
hand protection when opening the
cap. Open the cap slowly half a
turn to allow pressure to escape.

shield, and can also damage your
vehicle’s paint.
