ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
Taking care of the Environment
Tata Motors is committed to producing cars using
environmental friendly technology. A number of features have
been incorporated in our passenger cars which are
specifically designed to ensure environmental compatibility
throughout the life cycle of the car. We would like to inform
you that your car meets emission norms and is being
regularly validated at the manufacturing stages to keep up
with the stringent emission norms.
As a user you too can protect the environment by operating
your car in a proactive manner. A lot depends on your driving
style and the way you maintain your car. Listed below are
few tips that will help you do so.
WHILE DRIVING :
nAvoid frequent and violent acceleration.
nDo not carry any unnecessary weight on the vehicle as
it overloads the engine.
nAvoid using devices requiring high power consumption
during slow traffic condition.
nMonitor the car’s fuel consumption regularly. If it shows
a rising trend get the car immediately attended to at
the Company’s Authorised Service Centre.
nSwitch off the engine during long stops at traffic jams
or signals. If you need to keep the engine running, avoid
unnecessary revving or stopping and starting.
nIt is not necessary to rev up the engine before turning it
off as it unnecessarily burns the fuel.
nShift 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 OF THE CAR :
nEnsure that recommended maintenance is carried out
on the car regularly at the Tata Motors Authorised
Service Outlets.
nAs soon as you notice any leakage of oil or fuel in the
car we recommend that you get it attended immediately.
nUse only recommended brands and grades of lubricants
& coolants and clean/uncontaminated fuels.
23
ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
nGet your vehicle checked for emission periodically by
our authorised dealer and regularly renew the P.U.C.
Certificate.
nEnsure that fuel filter, oil filter, breathers are periodically
checked and if required, replace the same using only
genuine recommended brands.
nDo not pour used oils or coolants into sewage drains,
garden soil or open streams. Dispose of the used filters
and batteries in compliance with the current legislation.
nDo not allow any unauthorised person to tamper with
the engine settings or to carry out modifications on the
car.
nNever allow the vehicle to run out of fuel. This will result
in misfiring of the engine and could cause harm to the
catalytic cinverter.
nParts like brake liners and clutch disc should be vacuum
cleaned. Do not use compressed air for cleaning these
parts which may spread the dust in the atmosphere.
While carrying out the servicing or repairs of your car, you
should pay keen attention to some of the important engine
aggregates which greatly affect emission. These
components are :
1. Fuel injection pump , Injectors / Nozzles
2. Air intake & Exhaust system especially for leakage
3. Cylinder head for valve leakage
4. All filters such as air, oil & fuel filters (check
periodically)
5. Catalytic converter
6. E.G.R. system (Diesel)
7. Turbocharger & Intercooler (Diesel)
8. Ignition System - Spark plug gap (Petrol)
This Owner’s Manual & Service Book contains further
information on driving precautions and maintenance care
leading to environment protection. Please familiarise yourself
with these aspects before driving.
