ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
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
rd
possible. Use each gear upto 2/3
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
filters and batteries in compliance
with the current legislation.
Do not allow any unauthorised
person to tamper with engine
settings or to carry modifications
on the vehicle.
Never allow the vehicle to run out
of fuel.
Parts like brake liners, clutch disc
should be vacuum cleaned. Do not
use the compressed air for
cleaning these parts which may
spread the dust in the atmosphere.
While carrying out the servicing or
repairs on your vehicle, you should
pay keen attention to some of the
important aggregates, which
greatly affect emission. These
components are :
1. Fuel injection pump,
Injectors/Nozzles
2. Air intake & Exhaust system
especially for leakages
3. Cylinder head for valve leakage
4. All filters such as air, oil and fuel
filters (check periodically)
5. Turbocharger and intercooler
(if fitted)
6. Catalytic converter (if fitted
7. EGR System and components
8. Electrical Connections for EGR.
This Owner’s Manual contains further
information on driving precautions
and maintenance care leading to
environment protection. Please
familiarise yourself with these aspects
before driving.
