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

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.

ST ARTING & DRIVING Fuel E conomy
INSTRUCTIONS TO IMPROVE FUEL ECONOMY :
Y our car's fuel economy is mainly dependent on your style of driving.
To operate your car as economically as possible, use the following driving suggestions.
Avoid Excessive Idling :
Stop the engine and start it again, if you have to wait for more than a minute while you are stopped.
Avoid fast starts & unnecessary stops :
Start off slowly from traffic lights or stop signs to prevent increased fuel consumption and shortening of engine life. Avoid unnecessary deceleration (stopping or slowing down) and then acceleration which uses more fuel.
Always maintain clean air-cleaner :
The amount of air supplied will reduce due to clogged air­cleaner, resulting in waste of fuel due to incomplete combustion.
Avoid incorrect tyre pressures :
Under-inflated tyres result in increased running resistance of the tyres, leading to wastage of fuel.
Always have the engine tuned correctly through recommended maintenance at an Authorised Service outlet.
Proper Driving Practices :
Keep a safe distance from other vehicles to avoid braking suddenly.
Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal. It does not allow full engine power to be transmitted to the vehicle and reduces clutch life.

TIPS RELA TED TO FUEL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE :
Basically, the fuel system of the vehicle consists of the following main components :
1. Fuel tank 2. Fuel Filter 3. Fuel Pump 4. Fuel Rail
5. Fuel pressure regulator and 6. Fuel injector. The following instructions are to be followed for reducing
problems related to the fuel system. a) Avoid keeping the fuel tank empty and preferably keep it
topped up as frequently as possible.
Empty fuel tank may lead to inner corrosion of the tank. The rust particles thus formed may result in frequent clogging of fuel filters. The rust particles enter the system, resulting in malfunctioning of the MPFI system.
b) Replace clogged fuel filters to prevent inconsistent fuel
delivery from the fuel pump.
