ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Taking Care of the Environment
T aking 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. W e 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 :
Avoid frequent and violent acceleration.
¾
Do not carry any unnecessary weight on the vehicle
¾
as it overloads the engine.
Avoid using devices requiring high power consumption
¾
during slow traffic condition.
It is not advisable to warm up the engine during the
¾
first start of the day by idling, as cold temperatures
within the engine could cause rise in the emission
such as CO & HC particulate.
Monitor the car’s fuel consumption regularly . If it shows
¾
a rising trend get the car immediately attended to at
the T A T A MOTORS Authorised Service Centre.
Switch off the engine during long stops at traffic jams
¾
or signals. If you need to keep the engine running,
avoid unnecessarily revving or stopping and starting.
Use only unleaded fuel in petrol cars.
¾
It is not necessary to rev up the engine before turning
¾
it off as it unnecessarily burns the fuel.
For petrol cars switch off the ignition only when engine
¾
is at idling and when the vehicle is stationary , not when
the vehicle is running.
Shift to higher gears as soon as it is possible. Use
¾
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 :
Ensure that recommended maintenance is carried out
¾
on the car regularly at the T A T A MOTORS Authorised
Service Outlets.
17
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Taking Care of the Environment
As soon as you notice any leakage of oil or fuel in the
¾
car we recommend that you get it attended
immediately .
Use only recommended brands and grades of
¾
lubricants & coolants and clean/uncontaminated fuels.
Get your vehicle checked for emission periodically
¾
by our authorised dealer and regularly renew the
P.U.C. Certificate.
Ensure that fuel filter, oil filter , breathers are periodically
¾
checked and if required, replace the same using only
genuine recommended brands.
Do not pour used oils or coolants into sewage drains,
¾
garden soil or open streams. Dispose of the used filters
and batteries in compliance with the current legislation.
Do not allow any unauthorised person to tamper with
¾
the engine settings or to carry out modifications on
the car.
Never allow the vehicle to run out of fuel. This will
¾
result in misfiring of the engine and could cause harm
to the catalytic converter .
Parts like brake liners and clutch disc should be
¾
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 pump, Injectors / LPG Fuel System
2.Air intake & Exhaust system especially for leakages
3.Cylinder head for valve leakage
4.All filters such as air, oil & fuel filters (check
periodically)
5.Catalytic converter
6.Ignition system - Spark plug gap
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.

INTRODUCTION
In addition to the full capacity of petrol the Indica Xeta now
comes with LPG as additional fuel choice.
WHAT IS LPG?
LPG or Liquefied Petroleum Gas is a safe and environment
friendly fuel. It is a liquid under pressure and turns into
gaseous state when exposed to the atmospheric pressure.
LPG is a non-toxic, non-corrosive; lead-free gas and is
produced by refinery fractionation of oil or is stripped from
naturally occurring Natural Gas.
LPG fuel system and the components are as safe as those
in other fuel systems.
For LPG operation, press the Fuel Selector Switch provided
on the dashboard, for approximately 3 seconds. The fuel
change over happens automatically .
The switching between fuels (Petrol-LPG-Petrol) can be done
at any time, even on the move.
Your car always starts in petrol / auto mode only. Hence it
is a must to have petrol at all times during running.
WARNING
DO NOT USE DOMESTIC GAS CYLINDERS IN CAR
because…
• Domestic cylinders are NOT designed for Car
application and this makes them vulnerable in a crash
situation.
• The chemical composition of domestic LPG is different
from that of Auto LPG, which may lead to premature
failure of engine and its related components
• The gas outlet ‘valve’ arrangement on the domestic
cylinder doesn’t meet the car fuel supply standards
and hence makes them more dangerous in the car.
For example the valve is not provided with excess flow
protection.This means that if the valve or supply line
gets disconnected in a crash situation, there will be an
uncontrolled flow of LPG into the car interior.
• When using domestic gas cylinder, your car’s engine
gets less supply of fuel when load on engine is
increased (e.g. while climbing a ghat). This is because
the cylinder cannot supply adequate LPG from the tank
to the engine.
24
ST ARTING THE ENGINE
Irrespective of the position of the Selector switch (Petrol
or LPG), your car’s engine will always starts using petrol
by default and switch over to LPG later incase of LPG
mode.
To start, turn the ignition “ON” and crank without pressing
accelerator pedal.
LPG FILLING
LPG filler valve is located at the rear on the right hand body
side of your car. LPG filling will stop automatically once the
LPG tank is filled to 80% of its capacity.
LPG TANK CAP ACITY
The LPG cylinder capacity of your car is 31 litres. If the
LPG is filled after service / repairs of the LPG system, please
check all joints for leakage by applying soap solution or by
using an electronic instrument, (Example: Leakator - 10’).
NOTICE
Keep the Ignition switch in “OFF” condition during
LPG refilling

the engine with closed manual service valves before any
repair work on the gas lines/joints.

on the Car.
• Fast toggling of fuel mode LED’s on the Fuel Selector
Switch means fault in the LPG system, please get the

MANUAL SHUT OFF KNOB / LEVER
This knob is used to shut OFF LPG flow & is located on the
Multifunction valve, on the Auto LPG T ank. This valve should
always be in open position (as per figure), so that there is
unrestricted flow of LPG to the engine. When the valve is in
the closed position, LPG flow to the engine is stopped.
This shut off valve must be closed in case some repairs
need to be carried out on the LPG Tank. Ensure that the
tank’s cover is tightened /closed properly.
LEVEL INDICA TOR
A multivalve is mounted on the LPG tank that also has a
gauge that shows LPG level in the tank. LPG level can also
be known by the three green coloured lights on the Fuel
Selector Switch. When the LPG tank is full, all three green
lights will glow. As the level of LPG goes down, the green
lights will also go off one by one.
NOTE : The LED indication is an additional indication of LPG
quantity in tank.
