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. We have given a few tips for your guidance.

DRIVING

Q Avoid frequent and violent

accelerations / rev-ups.

Q Avoid overloading of the

engine. Avoid using devices requiring high power consumption during slow city traffic condition.

Q Monitor the car’s fuel

consumption regularly and if showing rising trend get the car immediately attended at the TATA Authorised Service Outlets.

Q Switch off the engine during

long stops at traffic jams or signals. If you need to keep

the engine running, do not unnecessarily rev-up.Avoid stopping and starting.

Q Do not rev-up the engine before

turning it off as it unnecessarily burns the fuel.

Q Shift to higher gears as soon

as it is possible without overloading the engine. Use each gear upto 2/3rd of it’s maximum engine speed. A chart indicating gear shifting speeds is given in this book.

MAINTENANCE

Q Ensure that recommended

maintenance is carried out on the car regularly at the Authorised Service Outlets.
