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.

The engine cooling system is pressur-
ized, particularly when the engine is
warm. When opening the cap, you could
