TATA XENON is a versatile vehicle. It incorporates

well known and proven features of T ata Motors precision and advanced technology . Easy maneuverability and economic life cycle cost make this vehicle ideal for urban and rural areas for operation as pick-up truck, delivery van, service van, etc.

TATA XENON comes equipped with a TATA DICOR engine with BS-III compliant norms and having a 5 speed full synchromesh gearbox with overdrive 5th for excellent fuel efficiency and tough road gripping tyres for added traction.

The DICOR Engine has a sophisticated common rail fuel system. It consists of ECU, sensors and actuators. The electronic control unit (ECU) is a 32 bit microprocessor which controls engine fuel injection parameters and other vehicle related parameters. The ECU receives input from various sensors fitted to the engine and on the vehicle to decide fuel injection quantity, fuel timing and number of injections best suited for the engine to work with maximum fuel efficiency and safety.

Other features like vacuum assisted independent hydraulic brakes on front and rear wheels through tandem master cylinder and tandem booster. Also ventilated front brake discs with twin port calipers provides better braking efficiency and greater safety . Telescopic shock absorbers and an antiroll bar make up the front independent suspension set-up. Parabolic springs coupled at the rear ensure good road holding and stability.

producing vehicles using environmentally sustainable technologies. A number of features have been incorporated in TA T A V ehicles which have been designed to ensure environmental compatibility throughout their life cycle. We would like to inform you that your vehicle meets appropriate environmental norms and this is being regularly validated at all stages of manufacturing.

As a user, you too can protect the environment by operating your vehicle in a proactive manner. A lot depends on you driving style and the way you maintain your vehicle. The following points are provided for your guidance.

Driving

• Avoid frequent and rapid

acceleration.

• Do not carry any unnecessary

weight on your vehicle as it overloads the engine.

• Avoid using devices requiring

high power consumption during slow traffic condition.

• It is not advisable to warm up

the engine during first start of the day by idling, as cold temperatures within engine could cause rise in the emissions such as CO & HC particulate.

• Monitor fuel consumption

regularly and if it shows a rising trend, get the vehicle immediately attended by an authorised T ata dealer.

• Switch off engine during long

stops at traffic jams or signals. If situation demands that engine be kept running, avoid frequent

revving of the engine. Also avoid frequent stopping and restarting, if uncalled for.

• It is not necessary to rev the

engine before turning it off.

• Shift to higher gears as soon

as possible . Use each gear up to 2/3rd of its maximum engine speed. Recommended gear shift speed are furnished in this manual.

Maintenance

• Ensure that periodical services

are carried out regularly by an authorised T ata dealer.

• As soon as you see any

leakages of oil, fuel, air or coolant, get it attended to immediately.

• Use only recommended brands

and grades of lubricants and clean/uncontaminated fuels.

• Get your vehicle checked for

emission periodically by an authorised T ata dealer.

• Ensure that fuel filters, oil filter

etc. are replaced at recommended intervals.

• Do not pour used oils or

coolants into sewage drains, garden soil or open streams. Dispose used filters and batteries in compliance with local laws.

• It is not recommended that

unauthorised workshops tamper with the engine settings or to carry out modifications on the vehicle.

• Avoid running the vehicle out

of fuel, as it can result in engine misfire.

• Please adhere to

recommended fuel specifications while filling up top.
