ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
TATA MOTORS is committed to produce
the vehicles using environ-mentally
sustainable technology. A number of
features have been incorporated in Tata
Motors passenger 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 BS-IV emission
norms and this is being regularly
validated at the manufacturing stages.
As a user you too can protect the
environment by operating your vehicle in a
proactive manner. A lot depends on your
driving style and the way you main-tain your
car. We have given a few tips below for
your guidance.
DRIVING
•
Avoid frequent and violent
accelerations.
•
Do not carry any unnecessary weight
on the vehicle as it over loads the
engine.
•
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
unnecessary revving it up or stopping
and starting.
•
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 it is
possible. Use each gear upto 2/3rd of
it’s maximum engine speed. A chart
indicating gear shifting speeds is given
in this book.
MAINTENANCE
•
Ensure that recommended
maintenance is carried out on the
vehicle regularly 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
quantity of lubricants and clean/
uncontaminated and correct fuels.
•
Get your vehicle checked for emission
periodically by authorised dealer.
•
Ensure that fuel filter, oil filter and
breather are checked periodically and
replaced, if required,as recommended
by Tata Motors.
•
Do not pour the 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.
