Zone 2 : This zone is the middle zone
(up to 80 cm). Sensors detect
obstacles and give an audio signal
(Fast beep).
Zone 3 : This is the most distant zone
(up to 120 cm). Sensors detect
obstacles and give an audio signal
(Slow beep).
Stop the vehicle immediately once the
continuous beep starts as the vehicle
is very close to the obstacle.
CAUTION
1. The RPAS system performance
is dependent on the reflection of
ultrasonic waves from the
obstacle.

Seat Belts
WARNING
Occupants safety is of utmost
importance. Your car is equipped with
seat belts, both front and rear as a
part of occupant restraint system.
Why Seat Belts
Wearing seat belts properly can
protect you from being thrown against
the insides of the car or against other
occupants in case of an accident or
sudden braking. It will reduce the
chances of severe injury.
How to use seat belts
This car has three point inertia reel
type front and rear seat belts in the
out board positions and a lap belt for
middle passenger on rear seat. In
normal driving, the belt lets you move
freely in your seat. In case of an
accident or sudden braking, inertia
reel automatically tightens the belt to
help restrain your body.

1. Seat Belt
2. Tongue
Twisted seat belts can cause injury
in a collision as the full width of the
belt isn’t available to absorb the
impact. This puts more force on the
bones beneath the belt, leading to
injury. Don’t wear twisted seat belts.

4. Lap Belt
The anchor end of the shoulder belt
is adjustable to suit the height of the
passenger wearing it. The lap belt has
one manually adjusted belt that fits
across the hip bone.
Make sure that your seat is adjusted
to a good driving position and the back
of the seat is upright.
1. Pull the tongue across your body
and insert it into the buckle.
2. Check and ensure that the belt is
not twisted.
3. Position the lap portion of the belt
as low as possible across your hip
bone.
4. Pull up the shoulder part of the belt
to remove the slack. Make sure that
the belt goes over your collar bones
and across chest.
5. To unlatch the belt, press the red
button on the buckle. Guide the
belt to the pillar as it retracts.
Seat Belts
WARNING
Improper positioning of the belt on
shoulder is dangerous. An
improperly positioned belt will
provide little or no protection in a
collision. Always make sure the
seat belt is positioned across your
shoulder and near your neck, but
never under your arm. on your neck,
or on your upper arm.
6. The belts are meant (intended) for
adult occupants only.
7. Each belt should be used by one
occupant only. The belt must not
be put round a child, seated on
passengers lap.
8. When the belt has been in use in
a serious accident or shows signs
of severe fraying / damage or of
having been cut, replace with an
approved belt kit.
GETTING STARTED
WARNING
Using one seat belt for more than
one person at a time is dangerous.
A seat belt used in this way cannot
spread the impact forces properly
and the two passengers could be
crushed together and seriously
injured. Never use one belt for more
than one person at a time.
10.The belts if required should be
replaced, by Authorised personnel
only.
11. The belt should not be
disassembled. If required,
authorised personnel only should
carry out disassembly and
assembly.
12.Clean the webbing with a mild soap
solution recommended for upholstery.
Bleaching or dyeing the webbing
may weaken it.
Lap belt
Pull the tongue to the desired length.

a click.
Adjust the belt length. To lengthen the
belt, hoId the tongue at a right angle
to the webbing and pull. To shorten,
pull the loose end of the webbing.
To unfasten, depress the button in the
buckle.
WARNING
Positioning the lap portion of the
Seat Belt too high can be
dangerous as in a collision, this
would concentrate the impact
force directly on the abdominal
area, causing serious injury. Wear
the lap portion of the belt snugly
and as low as possible.
9. The belt must not be altered or
modified during use.

Seat Belts
GETTING STARTED
TATA MOTORS strongly urges that
the driver and passengers in the car
be properly restrained at all times with
seat-belts. Failure to do so could
increase the chance of injury and /
or the severity of injury in accidents.
Baby or Small Child:
Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child until he / she
is old enough to wear the car’s seat
belt properly. If the child is too big for
94
a child restraint system, he / she
should be seated on the car’s back
seat restrained using the car’s seatbelt.
Use the seat-belt when the child is in
the rear seat also. According to
accident statistics, a child is safer
when properly restrained in the rear
seat than in the front seat.
For Airbag Equipped Cars:
• Rear Seat is the SAFEST for
children.
• Never put rearward facing child
restraints on front seat unless the
passenger airbag is deactivated.
This is very important and if not
followed, it can lead to a serious
injury or even death.
• Do not use a forward facing child
restraint system in the front seat
of the car, unless the passenger
airbag is deactivated.
General Guidelines:
• Children below 12 years are
always safe in child restraints.
• Refer
child
restraint
manufacturer’s instructions for
installation.
• Select the child restraint based on
the weight of the child. Age should
be used as a reference.
• Rearward facing child restraints
are preferred for children with
weight less than 9kg or until they
can sit themselves without any aid.
Air Bag
Expectant Mothers:
TATA MOTORS recommends the use
of a seat-belt. Kindly consult your
doctor for specific recommendation.
The lap belt should be worn securely
and as low as possible over the hips
and the waist.
Injured person :
TATA MOTORS recommends the use
of a seat-belt for injured person.

addition to seat belts to help protect
against head and chest injuries in
certain moderate and severe frontal
and front angular collisions.
The air bag system is not visible until
it is activated. Because the system
senses crash severity, some frontal/
angular collisions will not inflate the
Air bags. Airbags are not designed to
inflate in rollover, rear side or slow
speed frontal/ angular crashes
because the necessary protection can
be achieved by the seat belt alone.
Operation :
Your vehicle is fitted with an air bag
for the driver, located in the steering
wheel, and a passenger air bag is
located above the glove box
compartment. Vehicles fitted with an
air bags can be identified by the “AIR
BAG” label on the steering wheel.
The air bag is supplementary restraint
system. It is designed to be used in
Sensors in the ECU detect the degree
of severity of frontal/ angular impact.
The air bag(s) are designed to deploy
if the collision suits the criteria for
deployment.
• The sensor switches close the
circuit and nitrogen gas is
produced that fills the air bag by
burning the propellant.
95
Air Bag
GETTING STARTED
• The inflating air bag deploys out
of the steering wheel in the front
of the driver and passenger air bag
of the dash board in front of the
passenger. This action takes place
in a fraction of second.
• The bag(s) deflate as the gas
escapes through the vents.
• Airbag(s) may only deploy with the
ignition switch in ON position. The
system will however work for about
30 seconds immediately after
switching OFF of ignition. You may
hear a noise along with some
smoke, dust and smell of burnt
propellant immediately after the air
bag has inflated. DO NOT PANIC
as this is normal.
• Passenger Air Bag (PAB) switch
provided on the left side of the
dashboard should always be
ACTIVE. If in case the front
passenger seat is unoccupied, the
PAB may be prevented from
deploying by turning the PAB
96
switch to INACTIVE by using the
ignition key.

For persons suffering from
breathing problems or asthma, get
out of the car promptly for some
fresh air as the smoke may cause
breathing problems.
Always turn the PAB switch to
“PAB” in case the front passenger
seat is occupied.
Always wear seat belts. The
wearing of seat belts is required
even when the air bag is fitted. Air
bags do not replace the seat belts.
Do not allow a front seat
passenger to obstruct the
operation of the passenger airbag
by placing feet, knees of any
other part of the person, or any
other objects in contact with, or
in close proximity to, an air bag
module.
Air bag
• Always wear your car's seat belts
correctly as they can prevent you
from accidental injury when the air
bags inflate. In addition, both driver
and front seat passenger (If a
passenger air bag is fitted), should
adjust their seats to provide
maximum practical distance from
the air bag.
• An air bag, when it inflates may
cause injury. Minimise the risk of
injury by ensuring that front seat
occupants are wearing their seat
belts and are seated correctly,
with the seat as far back as is
practical.
• DO NOT service, repair, replace,
modify or tamper with part of the
air bag SRS, or wiring in the
vicinity of an air bag SRS
component; this could cause the
system to activate, resulting in
personal injury.
GETTING STARTED
The importance of wearing seat
belts :
• It will help to keep you in the proper
position when the air bag inflates.
• Reduce the risk of harm in rollover,
side or rear impact collisions.
• Reduce the risk of harm in frontal/
angular collisions that are not
enough to activate the air bag.
• Reduce the risk of being thrown
from your vehicle in a collision.
The importance of being properly
seated:
To protect occupants in a collision, the
air bag inflates at a rate that is faster
than you can blink your eye.
• If you are too close to an inflating
air bag, it could seriously injure
you, Move your seat as far back
as practical to allow room for air
bag inflation. Never install any
rearward facing child seat
restraint in the front seat when
the passenger air bag is active,
as serious injury or death may
result from the force of the
inflating front passenger air
bag. The rear seat is the safest
place for children.
• Never place any object in front of
you while you are seated in the
front seat as it may result an injury
from the object when it is forced
towards you by the inflating air bag.
Do not cover the steering wheel or
instrument panel with an object
which may prevent the proper
deployment of the air bag.
• Where a passenger air bag is fitted,
front passenger should never sit on
the edge of the seat, stand near
the glove box compartment, rest
feet or other parts of the body on
the dash board or lean over near
the glove compartment when the
vehicle is moving.

Air Bag
GETTING STARTED
Air Bag Warning Light:
The diagnostic system continually
monitors the readiness of the SRS
AIR BAG while the vehicle is being
driven. The air bag warning light on
the instrument panel will illuminate
for approximately 5 seconds when
the ignition is switched on. This is
normal and indicates the system is
performing a self check. The
following components are monitored
by the indicator :
• Airbag control module - ECU
• Driver airbag
• Passenger air bag
• Retractor Pretensioners.
• All related wiring.
If the warning light does not illuminate
when ignition is switched on, or
remains illuminated after the initial
check period & during driving, or
flashes, a fault may exists with air bag
& seat belt pre-tensioner and it should
be checked by an authorized dealer
immediately.
98
Air bag maintenance & servicing :
If any of the following occur, see your
Authorised dealer without any delay
for corrective action.
• The air bag warning light does not
operate briefly when the ignition
key is turned on.
• The air bag warning light illuminates
while driving.
Though your car's air bag system
does not require regular maintenance,
you should always check when a
warning about malfunction is flashed
on the instrument cluster. If this is not
attended to, the air bag system may
malfunction in the event of a collision.
Conversely, it may deploy even if there
is no collision.
NOTICE
•
Any maintenance performed on
or near the components of the
SRS must be performed only by
an authorized dealer. Do not
permit anyone else to do service,
inspection, maintenance or repair
on any SRS components or
wiring.
• Similarly, no part of the SRS
system should ever be handled
or disposed of by anyone except
an authorized dealer. Improper
work on the SRS system will
result in inadvertent deployment
of the air bag or could render the
SRS system inoperative. This
could also lead to personal injury.
• Do not modify your steering wheel
or any other SRS components,
For example replacement of
steering wheel or modifications to
the steering column, front
bumper, body or frame structure
can adversely affect the SRS
performance and lead to possible
injury.
• If your vehicle has received any
front end damage, you should
have the SRS system inspected
by an authorized dealer to ensure
it is in proper working order.

and dash panel must be replaced.
If they are not replaced, it may
increase the risk of injury in a
collision.
•
Do not attempt to service, repair,
or modify the air bag system, any
tampering will result in activation
of the system and increase the
risk of personal injury. For
Servicing the air bag system, see
your authorized dealer.

Anti-Lock Braking System
GETTING STARTED
ABS (Anti- Lock Braking System)
(if provided):
The purpose of the anti-lock braking
system (ABS) is to prevent the wheels
from locking when braking, thereby
enabling the driver to retain steering
control of the car.
Under normal braking conditions
(where sufficient road surface friction
exists to reliably bring the car to a
stop without the wheels locking), ABS
will not be activated. However, if the
braking force exceeds the available
adhersion between the tyres and the
road surface causing the wheels to
lock (for example, on slippery roads),
then ABS will automatically get
activated.
This will be felt by a rapid pulsation
felt through the brake pedel.
100
WARNING
• ABS cannot overcome the physical
•
limitations of stopping the car in
too a short distance, cornering at
too high a speed, or the danger of
aquaplaning, i.e when a layer of
water prevents adequate contact
of the tyres and the road surface.
The fact that a car is fitted with
ABS must never tempt the driver
into taking risks that could affect
his/her safety or that of other road
users. In all cases, it remains the
driver's responsibility to drive within
normal safety margins, having due
consideration for prevalling weather
and traffic conditions.
Braking in an Emergency:
In an emergency situation, the driver
should apply full braking effort even
when the road surface is slippery. The
ABS will constantly monitor the
rotational speed of the wheels and will
vary the braking pressure to each
wheel according to the amount of
traction available. This will ensure that
the wheels do not lock and the car is
brought to a stop in the shortest
possible distance for the prevailing
road surface conditions.
CAUTION
DO NOT pump the brake pedal when
driving, this will interrupt operation of
the ABS and may incease the
braking distance
Anti-Lock Braking System
NOTICE
On soft surfaces, such as powdery
show, sand or gravel, the braking
distance required by the ABS may
be greater than for non-ABS
braking, even though improved
steering would be experienced. This
is because the natural action of
locking wheels on soft surfaces is
to build up a wedge of surface
material in front which assists the
car to stop.
No matter how hard you brake, you
should be able to continue steering
the vehicle as NORMAL.
However, always remember that the
ABS operates only AFTER the driver
has already lost control. ABS cannot
reliably compensate for driver error or
inexperience.
GETTING STARTED
ABS Warning Light:
The ABS incorporates a monitoring
system, which checks that all the
electrical components are in working
order as soon as the starter switch is
turned ON, and also at frequent
intervals during a journey.
The warning light on the instrument
panel is an important part of this
system. The light should come ON
for approximately two seconds when
the starter switch is turned to the 'IGN'
position and then should go OFF.
In addition, when starting the engine,
a single 'knock' may be heard coming
from the engine compartment. Very
slight movement my also be felt at the
brake pedal. Both are normal and are
due to the ABS self checking process.
NOTICE
The non-ABS braking system
remains fully operational and is not
affected by partial of complete loss
of the ABS. However, braking
distance may increase.
If the warning light fails to go OFF or
come ON when driving, a faould has
been detected by the self-monitoring
system and complete ABS control
may not be available. If this occurs,
get your car checked by a TATA
Authorised service centre.

Driving Safety
DRIVING
DRIVING SAFETY
Mobile phones:
Due care should be exercised while
applying parking brakes on steep
slopes. It is advisable to switch off the
engine and shift gear lever in Low
Forward Gear before parking the car
facing uphill steep slope and in reverse
gear when facing down hill.
Seat Belt:
Seat-belts are life saving equipment.
Use of seat-belt reduces the chance
of injury and severity of injury in case
of an accident. It is strongly
recommended that all the car
occupants always wear seat-belts
when car is in motion.
Influence of Alcohol / Drugs:
Avoid driving under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Alcohol and drugs
will severely affect your reflex actions.
This will impair your control of the car
and increase the risk of injury to
yourself and others.
Avoid using mobile phones while
driving a car. This could divert your
attention from the road and result in
an accident.
Fatigue 'Rest Revive Survive':
Do not attempt driving when you feel
tired, sleepy. Long distance driving
can tire you very much and fatigue can
dull your reflexes and judgment. Take
rest and get refreshed at regular
intervals.

Fuel Saving Tips
DRIVING
TIPS TO IMPROVE FUEL
ECONOMY:
Your 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.
wastage of fuel due to incomplete
combustion.
Avoid Excessive Idling :
Avoid incorrect tyre pressure :
Stop the engine and start it again, if
you have to wait for more than a
minute. e.g. at Traffic Signals.
If your car's tyres are under - inflated,
it results in increased rolling
resistance, leading to wastage of fuel.
(Refer tyre maintenance section)
Avoid fast starts and 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-filter:
Have your car's air filter cleaned during
every service. In case the car is used
in dusty conditions, get the air filter
cleaned more frequently at a Tata
authorised service station.
Proper Driving Practices :
Keep a safe distance from other cars
to avoid braking suddenly.
NOTICE
Do not rest your foot on the clutch
pedal. It does not allow full engine
power to be transmitted to the
wheels and reduces clutch life.

the key to off position and try after
30 seconds.
Stopping the Engine
(Specially for Diesel engines):
Before switching OFF the engine, run
the engine in idle condition for atleast
30 seconds and then switch OFF.
This will allow the engine oil to
lubricate the turbocharger, till its
speed is fully reduced and also allow
the unit to cool down.

recommended to shift at the speeds
given in the table.
You can get extra braking from the
engine when slowing down by shifting
to a lower gear.
This can help you to maintain a safe
speed and prevent your brakes from
overheating while going down a steep
hill.
CAUTION
Avoid excessive revving up of engine
rpm.
Idling the engine for long duration
must be avoided.
Before you shift to reverse gear, bring
your car to a complete stop and
depress the clutch pedal fully.
Do not shift into reverse gear when
the car is moving forward.
While shifting the gears, it is
109
Braking
DRIVING
Brakes :
The brake system on your car is
an advanced dual circuit, diagonal
split vacuum assisted hydraulic
brake system.
It is equipped with:
Q
Brake booster: This assists the
driver in braking with an ergonomic
pedal force on brake pedal;
Q
Tandem Master Cylinder, for fail
safe braking.
Q
Single pot calipers, for efficient
energy absorption.
Q
Auto adjusted rear brakes which
are designed for trouble free
performance.
The system is designed with diagonal
split type, which has an advantage of
providing maximum braking even if one
circuit fails. However, in such a
situation, the pedal will be lighter to
press, pedal travel will be higher and
stopping distance will increase. At the
110
same time brake indication light would
glow on dash board.
If you observe any abnormality in brake
system contact your nearest TATA
Authorized Service Centre.
In case of failure of vacuum supply to
the brake booster the car can still be
stopped with a higher pedal effort. In
case of vacuum failure or brake circuit
failure, slow down the car by shifting
to lower gear and lifting your foot from
the accelerator pedal. Pull the side of
the road as soon as it is safe.
CAUTION
Brake system failure is hazardous
and needs immediate attention. In
the event of brake system failure,
a) Have your car towed OR
b) Be extremely cautious in case
you have to drive the car.
Put your foot on brake pedal to apply
brake. Do not ride with brakes applied
as they may overheat and the
performance may be impaired. The
brake lights may confuse the other
road users behind you.
Use engine to assist the brakes by
shifting to a lower gear and lifting your
foot from accelerator pedal.
Constant application of brakes while
going down the hill builds heat and
reduces braking efficiency.
Check your brakes after driving
through deep water. Apply the brakes
moderately to feel that they are
normal. If not, apply them gently and
frequently until they do. With wet
brakes you should be extra cautious
and alert while driving.
Driving in Adverse Condition
Driving Through Water :
Never venture to drive through water
when it flows over stones on a bridge.
Your car’s engine may get seriously
damaged if attempted to drive through
deep water.
If at all the situation demands that you
have to drive through water then;
Q Keep engine in fast idling and crawl
the car in low gear.
Q After driving through water apply
brakes several times to dry liners
and to regain original braking.
DRIVING
Do not attempt to start the engine if
car gets flooded due to water. Tow the
car to a safe place.
Take the car to nearest TATA
authorised workshop to check entry
of water in cylinders.
If water has entered the engine or
transaxle, the lubricants will have to
be replaced.
Get the starter and alternator checked.
Driving on a Rainy Day :
Check brakes, steering and
windows.Check tyres for wear and tyre
pressure.
Check wiper blades for proper
functioning.
Avoid harsh braking and sharp turns.
It may cause loss of control and lead
to a skid.
For slowing down, shift to lower gears
and brake gently.
Keep head lights ON if visibility is
poor.
Night Driving :
Dip the head lamp for oncoming traffic
during night driving.
Maintain a speed such that you can
stop within illuminated distance of
head lamps.
111
Driving in Adverse Condition
DRIVING
Use head lamp main/dip beam to alert
other road users on turns/cross roads
etc.
Use side indicators for lane change
or turning.
Put ON hazard warning switch in case
of hazardous parking or if your car is
disabled to warn the passing traffic.
Climbing Sharp Gradients on
Loose Surfaces:
Start off smoothly in any suitable gear.
Apply power smoothly so that there
is no loss of traction by over-revving
of the engine.
112
Choose as smooth a slope as
possible and select the appropriate
gear so that gear changing in the
middle of the climb is not required.
Changing gears in the middle of the
climb can cause loss of momentum
and engine stalling. Shifting to a lower
gear has to be done cautiously to avoid
loss of traction.
Never move the car diagonally across
a hill. The danger is in loss of traction
and sideways slippage, possibly
resulting in tipping over. If unavoidable,
choose as mild an angle as possible
and keep the car moving.
If the wheels start to slip within few
feet of the end of the climb, motion
can be maintained by swinging the
steered wheels left and right, thereby
providing increased grip.
If the car stalls or losses headway
while climbing a steep hill, make a
quick shift to reverse and allow the
car to move back with the control of
engine compression.
Descending Sharp Gradients :
Depending on the severity of the
gradient, shift into appropriate gear.
Use engine braking judiciously without
over-revving the engine.
Brake application under such
situations should be done very
smoothly to avoid loss of control.
Select appropriate gear so that gear
changing or clutch disengagement is
not involved while descending the
gradient.

Washing & Cleaning
CAR CARE
CAR CARE :
Your Car is subjected to many external
influences such as climate, road
conditions, industrial pollution and
humidity. These conditions demand
regular care of the Car body. Dirt,
insects, bird droppings, oil, grease,
fuel and stone chippings should be
removed as soon as possible.
Washing :
Do not wash the Car in direct sunlight,
wash in shade. Spray the Car
thoroughly with a cold water jet (Car
on a washing pit or hoist). Mix Car
shampoo in the wash water. No
solvent (fuel, thinners) need to be
used.
WARNING
Do not direct high pressure washer
fluid/ water jets (Pressure above 0.5
Bar) at electrical devices and
connecter during washing. This is to
prevent malfunction / failure of
electrical system due to water
ingress.
140
Use a soft bristle brush, sponge or
soft cloth and rinse it frequently while
washing. When you have washed the
exterior, dry it with a chamois or soft
cloth. After drying the Car, inspect it
for chips and scratches that could allow
corrosion to start. Apply touch up paint
where necessary.
Polishes :
Polishes and cleaners can restore
shine to the painted surface that has
oxidised and become dull. They
normally contain mild abrasives and
solvents that remove the top layer of
the finish coat. Polish your Car, if the
finish does not regain its original shine
after using wax.
Cleaning of Carpets :
Vacuum clean the carpet regularly to
remove dirt. Dirt will make the carpet
wear out faster. Periodically shampoo
the carpet to keep it looking new.
Use carpet cleaners (preferably foam
type). Follow the instructions that
come with the cleaner. Apply it with a
sponge or soft brush. Keep the
carpeting as dry as possible by not
adding water to the foam.
NOTICE
Avoid wiping of painted surface in
dry condition as it may leave
scratches on the painted surface.
Cleaning of Windows, Front and
Rear Glasses :

corrosion it is recommended that you
wash your car thoroughly and frequently
in case :
1. There is an heavy accumulation of
dirt and mud especially on the
underbody.
2. It is driven in areas having high
atmosphere pollution due to smoke,
soot, dust, iron dust and other
chemical pollutants.
3. It is driven around coastal areas.
4. The underbody must be thoroughly
pressure washed after every three
months.
141
General Precautions
CAR CARE
In addition to regularly washing your
car, the following precautions need
to be taken.
PERIODIC INSPECTION:
1. Regularly inspect your car for
any damage in the paint film such
as deep scratches and
immediately get them repaired
from an authorised service outlet,
as these defects tend to
accelerate corrosion.
2. Inspect mud liners for damages.
3. Keep all drain holes clear from
clogging.
PROPER PARKING:
Always park your car in shade to
protect it from harsh sunlight or in a
well-ventilated garage so that there
is no dampness on any part of the
car.
WASHING YOUR CAR:
Following these tips while
washing your car.
HAND WASH:
1. Always wash your car in shade
and where the surface is at room
temperature.
2. Wash with mild car wash soap
like ‘Car Shampoo’ and use a soft
100% cotton cloth to avoid
scratches.
3. To avoid scratches, please wear
soft gloves . Remove finger rings,
nails, wrist watch while washing.
4. To remove stubborn stains and
contaminants like tar, use
142
turpentine or cleaners like ‘Stain
remover’ which are safe for paint
surfaces.
5. Avoid substances like petrol,
diesel, kerosene, benzene or
other solvents that cause
damage to paint.
6. Dry your car thoroughly to prevent
any damp spots.
7. Rinse all surfaces thoroughly to
prevent any traces of soap and
other cleaners as this may lead
to the formation of stains on the
painted surface later.
NOTICE
Do not direct high pressure washer
fluid/ water jets at electrical devices
and their connectors during
washing. This is to prevent
malfunction / failure of electrical
system
due
to
water
ingress.
General Precautions
WAXING :
Waxing
and
polishing
is
recommended to maintain the gloss
and wet-look appearance of your
paint finish.
1. Use a good quality polish and wax
for your car.
2. Re-wax your car when the water
does not slip off the surface and
collects over the surface in
patches.
Further tips for the care of your
new car finish :
If your car is washed in an
automatic car wash, please
remember that the paint can be
scratched by type of brushes,
unfiltered washing water or the
washing process itself. Scratching
reduces paint durability and gloss,
especially on darker colours. It is
suggested to wash the car by hand
with cool and clean water using a
CAR CARE
soft cloth or sponge. Please do not
use soap but a car shampoo
recommended by your dealer.
Please take
precautions :
the
following
1. Always wash your car in shade,
avoiding direct exposure to sunlight
during washing.
5. External contamination in the
form of sap or industrial fall-out
may mar or develop spots on a
new finish. Hence avoid parking
your car near trees, which are
known to drop sap, or near
factories, which give out heavy
smoke.
2. Dry wiping your car may lead to
the formation of scratches and
hence always use a soft cloth and
clean water while wiping your car.
3. Always keep your car parked in a
well ventilated shade. Exposure to
heat with entrapped moisture
promotes corrosion.
4. Avoid driving on gravel roads, as
the possibility of paint chip off due
to the impact of stones is high. If
you are driving on freshly tarred
road, check immediately
afterwards for any stains and
clean them.
143
CAR CARE
6. The acid content in bird droppings
may damage the newly painted
finish and hence any bird
dropping must be immediately
washed off.
7. The paint finish is susceptible to
damage in case petrol, brake
fluid, liquid from car battery, oil,
antifreeze, transmission fluid or
windshield solvent spills onto the
painted surface. In case of such
a spillage immediately rinse the
affected area with water. Avoid
wiping the area
as far as
possible, however if wiping is
required, ensure that you wipe
the area gently with soft cotton
cloth.
8. Avoid using sharp objects to
scrap off tar or mud from a
painted surface as it may develop
scratches.

Variable Nozzle Turbocharger (VNT) (if fitted)
Variable Nozzle Turbocharger VNT : (DIESEL)
Turbocharger
Your car is fitted with a VARIABLE
NOZZLE TURBOCHARGER (VNT)
type and is connected to the exhaust
manifold. It is designed to increase
the volumetric efficiency of the
engine.
Variable Nozzle turbochargers are
composed of:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
a centrifugal compressor
a turbine
a series of moving vanes
a pneumatic actuator controlling
the moving vanes.
The management of the operation of
the turbocharger variable geometry is
controlled by the control unit through
the operation of the VNT solenoid
valve.
Lubrication of Turbocharger :
The turbocharger rotor assembly is
supported by two fully floating bearing
bushes in the bearing housing. These
bearing bushes are lubricated with
finely filtered engine oil from the
lubrication system of the engine.
Idle the engine for a while (30
seconds) after starting the engine and
before stopping the engine to ensure
adequate lubricating oil supply to the
turbocharger.
MAINTENANCE
Turbocharger Connections :
All turbocharger connections must be
leak-proof. Check air inlet, air outlet,
exhaust gas inlet and exhaust outlet
connections as well as oil inlet and
outlet connections to the turbocharger
and tighten the connections where
required.
Proper maintenance of air filter, oil
filter as well as use of correct grade
of oil and adherence to oil change
intervals is essential for proper
functioning of the turbocharger.
If you suspect any malfunctioning of
the turbocharger, take the vehicle to
the nearest dealer. Do not remove the
turbocharger yourself.
151
Intercooler (if fitted)
MAINTENANCE
Intercooler :
Maintenance recommendations :
Hot air coming out of turbocharger
flows through the intercooler and gets
cooled before entering the intake
manifold. The intercooler is mounted
on top of the cylinder head cover.
a) Check the boost pressure pipe for
its proper fitment, damage etc.
As such it does not require any
maintenance however it can be
cleaned externally (when it is not hot)
by blowing compressed air through its
fins.
CAUTION
While cleaning, ensure that
intercooler fins are not damaged. If
the fins get damaged, it could lead
to loss of performance and
subsequent engine failure.
152
b) Specified engine oil and the oil filter
should be used and should be
changed regularly in accordance
with Service Schedule.
c) Check oil feed pipes, return pipes,
air intake and exhaust piping for
leakages and restrictions.
d) Check the engine breathing
system and oil seperator.
e) Fill the oil inlet hole of the
turbocharger with clean engine oil,
when the engine is started after
long storage.
Care & Maintenance of Catalytic Converter
Care & Maintenance of catalytic
coverter (SAFIRE) :
• Use Unleaded Petrol only, since
use of Leaded Petrol will damage
(poison) the Catalytic Converter
permanently.
• Consult an Authorised Service
Outlet at the earliest when,
• Engine misfires or runs irregularly,
following a cold start,
• A significant loss of Power is
noticed.
• In the event of above symptoms,
drive the car at slow speed without
rapid acceleration. If the vehicle is
continuously run with misfiring, it
may cause overheating of body,
carpet etc. resulting into fire.
Avoid :
• Push start or tow-starting the

spark plug or loose spark plug
cable can affect combustion and
cause damage to engine and
catalytic converter.
Spark Plug :NGK
Spark Plug No.: ZKR7A-10
Spark Plug Gap : 1 + 0.05 mm
You should inspect the spark plugs
periodically for carbon deposits. When
carbon accumulates on the spark plug,
a strong spark will not be produced.
Remove carbon deposits using a spark
plug cleaner.
Spark Plug Replacement :
1. Clean up any dirt or oil that is
collected around the spark plug
caps.
2. Pull out the spark plug cables by
gripping at the connector.
3. Remove the spark plug with the
help of a special socket.

Check for inflation and condition of your
car tyres periodically.
You should have your own tyre
pressure gauge and use it at all times.
This makes it easier for you to tell if
pressure loss is caused by a tyre
problem and not by variation between
gauges.
Keeping the tyres properly inflated
gives you the best combination of riding
comfort, handling, tyre life and better
fuel efficiency.
Over inflation of tyres makes the car
ride bumpy and harsh. Tyres are more
prone to uneven wear and damage from
road hazards.
Under inflated tyres reduce your
comfort in car handling and are prone
to failures due to high temperature.
They also cause uneven wear and
more fuel consumption.

tyres for damage, trapping of foreign
objects in the treads and wear.
NOTICE
Tyre pressure should be checked
in "cold" condition. Hot tyres tend
to show a slightly higher value. This
is normal.
Inflation :
Check the pressure in the tyres when
they are cold.

Repairing a Tyre:
Wheel Cover Removal:
Mark the tyre position suitably (if
original colour dot mark is not visible)
with respect to valve stem hole to
ensure that the tyre is refitted in the
original location on the wheel rim.
Insert a piece of cloth between the
spokes of the wheel cover and pull
cover outward. Take out detached
wheel cover from the wheel rim. For
installation, first match the slot at the
wheel cover with the air feeling nozzle
of the wheel. Apply equal pressure at
the circumference of the wheel cover
to fix it in the wheel rim.
Ensure that balancing weights are not
disturbed during removal of tyres.
Check the balance weight prior to the
removal of the tyre. If found loose, mark
its location on the rim and refit properly.
Balance the wheel after every
dismantling and assembly of tyre on
the wheel rim.
NOTICE
Do not apply any oil on the wheel
pins. Wipe off the oil if present.
CAUTION
Attempting to remove wheel cover
with bare fingers may cause injury.
156
Tyres
MAINTENANCE
NOTICE
Special care for tubeless tyres
1. While removing tyre from wheel rim and mounting it
back on wheel rim, take precautions not to damage
tyre bead. Use tyre removal and assembly machines.
Damage or cut on tyre bead may cause gradual loss of
air and deflation of tyre.
2. Do not scratch inside of tubeless tyre with metallic or
sharp object. Tubeless tyres are coated with
impermeable layer of rubber from inside which holds
the air inside the tyre. Removal of this layer due to
scratching may cause gradual loss of air and deflation.
3. If wheel rim gets damaged in service, get the wheel rim
repaired/replaced immediately. Running the car with
damaged rim may cause deflation of tyre and
subsequent dislodging of tyre from rim.
Life and wear pattern of tyres depends on various
parameters like tyre pressure, wheel alignment, wheel
balancing, tyre rotation, etc. It also largely depends on
car speed, load carried, usage, driving habits, road
conditions, tyre quality, etc. In case fault is suspected
to be due to poor quality of tyres, the same may be
taken up with concerned tyre manufacturer.
Tyre Rotation :
To help increase tyre life and distribute wear more evenly
you should have tyres rotated at specified intervals or earlier
depending on the operation of car.
The illustrations shows how to rotate tyres when normal
spare wheel is included in tyre rotation.
4. Maintain recommended inflation pressure. Over-inflation,
in particular, may cause puncture or bursting of tyre.

MAINTENANCE
Wheel alignment :
Incorrect wheel alignment causes
excessive and uneven tyre wear.
Check wheel alignment at specified
intervals. Wheel alignment values are
given below :

Wheel Balancing :
Wheels of your car are balanced for
better ride comfort and longer tyre life.
Balancing needs to be done whenever
tyre is removed from rim.
---
1. Permissible imbalance for tyre with
rim = 102 gm-cm max.
30’ ± 30’

Battery
BATTERY :
Check the battery for proper electrolyte
level and corrosion on the terminals.
1. Check the battery for electrolyte
level against the marking on the
battery outer case.
2. Check the battery terminals for
corrosion (a white or yellowish
powder). To remove it, cover the
terminals with a solution of baking
soda. It will bubble up and turn
brown.
3. When this stops, wash it off with
plain water. Dry off the battery with
a cloth or paper towel.
4. Coat the terminals with petroleum
jelly to prevent future corrosion.
Use a proper wrench to loosen and
remove cables from the terminals.
MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the negative
(-ve) cable first and reconnect it
last.
•
Clean the battery terminals with a
terminal cleaning tool or wire brush.
Reconnect and tighten the cables, coat
the terminals with petroleum jelly.
Ensure that the battery securely
mounted.
If you need to connect the battery to a
charger, disconnect both cables to
prevent damage to the car’s electrical
system.
NOTICE
During normal operation, the
battery generates gas which is
explosive in nature. A spark or
open flame can cause the battery
to explode causing very
serious injuries.
•
Keep all sparks and open flames
and smoking materials away
from the battery.
•
Getting electrolyte in your eyes
or on the skin can cause severe
burns. Wear protective clothing
and a face shield or have a
skilled technician to do the
battery maintenance.
•
The battery contains sulphuric
acid (electrolyte) which is
poisonous and highly corrosive
in nature.
For location of Battery, please refer
respective Engine compartment pages.
