ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Taking Care of the Environment<br />
Taking care of the Environment<br />
<strong>Tata</strong> Motors is committed to producing cars using<br />
environmental friendly technology. A number of features<br />
have been incorporated in our passenger cars which are<br />
specifically designed to ensure environmental compatibility<br />
throughout the life cycle of the car. We would like to inform<br />
you that your car meets Emission norms and is being<br />
regularly validated at the manufacturing stages to keep up<br />
with the stringent emission norms.<br />
As a user you too can protect the environment by operating<br />
your car in a proactive manner. A lot depends on your<br />
driving style and the way you maintain your car. Listed<br />
below are few tips that will help you do so.<br />
WHILE DRIVING :<br />
‣ Avoid frequent and violent acceleration.<br />
‣ Do not carry any unnecessary weight on the vehicle<br />
as it overloads the engine.<br />
‣ Avoid using devices requiring high power consumption<br />
during slow traffic condition.<br />
‣ It is not advisable to warm up the engine during the<br />
first start of the day by idling, as cold temperatures<br />
within the engine could cause rise in the emission<br />
such as CO & HC particulate.<br />
‣ Monitor the car’s fuel consumption regularly. If it shows<br />
a rising trend get the car immediately attended to at<br />
the TATA MOTORS Authorised Service Centre.<br />
‣ Switch off the engine during long stops at traffic jams<br />
or signals. If you need to keep the engine running,<br />
avoid unnecessarily revving or stopping and starting.<br />
‣ Use only unleaded fuel in petrol cars.<br />
‣ It is not necessary to rev up the engine before turning<br />
it off as it unnecessarily burns the fuel.<br />
‣ For petrol cars switch off the ignition only when engine<br />
is at idling and when the vehicle is stationary, not when<br />
the vehicle is running.<br />
‣ Shift to higher gears as soon as it is possible. Use<br />
each gear upto 2/3 rd of it’s maximum engine speed. A<br />
chart indicating gear shifting speeds is given in this<br />
book.<br />
MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR :<br />
‣ Ensure that recommended maintenance is carried out<br />
on the car regularly at the TATA MOTORS Authorised<br />
Service Outlets.<br />
