SEAT BELTS
SEAT BELTS :
Occupants safety is of utmost
importance.
Your car is equipped with seat belts,
both front and rear as a part of
occupant restraint system.
1
Why Seat Belts
Wearing seat belts properly can
protect you from being thrown
against the inside 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 type front
seat belts and lap belts for rear seat
out board occupants (LH & RH).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.
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.

3. Lock Buckle
WARNING
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,
which could break them or cause
other serious injury. Don’t wear
twisted seat belts.
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.
1. Pull the tongue across your body
and insert it into the buckle.
2. Check and ensure that the belt
is not twisted.
49
GETTING STARTED
WARNING
Improper positioning of the
shoulder portion of the seat belt
is dangerous. An improperly
positioned belt will provide little
or no protection in a collision.
Always make sure the shoulder
portion of 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.
9. The belt must not be altered or
modified during use.
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.
50
SEAT BELTS
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

FRIENDLY TIPS TO IMPROVE FUEL
ECONOMY :
Your vehicle's fuel economy is mainly
dependent on your style of driving.
To operate your vehicle as
economically as possible, adhere to
following driving suggestions.
Avoid Excessive Idling :
FUEL ECONOMY
NOTICE
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.
Fuel economy speeds :
Always adhere to following fuel
economy speeds.
Shut Off the engine if you have to
wait for more than a minute while you
are in traffic.
Gear
Speed (kmph)
1st
10
Avoid fast starts and unnecessary
stops :
2nd
20 - 30
3rd
30 - 50
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.
4th
50 - 70
Always maintain clean air-filter:
The amount of air supplied will
reduce due to clogged air-filter,
resulting in loss of power and fuel
economy.
Maintain correct tyre pressures:
Under-inflated tyres result in
increased running resistance of the
tyres, leading to wastage of fuel.
(Refer tyre maintenance section)
Proper Driving Practices :
Keep a safe distance from other
vehicles to avoid braking suddenly.
54
FUEL CUT-IN / CUT-OFF
STRATEGY :
The ECU has been programmed to
limit the speed of the vehicle to 35
km/h in 1st gear, 60 km/h in 2nd gear,
90 km/h in 3rd gear and 105 km/h
in 4 th gear. As a good driving
practice, always shift to a higher gear
before reaching the speed limit
specified for that gear. In case the
gear is not shifted and you continue
to drive in the same gear beyond the
specified speed, the ECU will activate
the fuel cut-off strategy and restrict
vehicle speed to the specified limit.
This is to ensure optimum fuel
efficiency and prolonged engine life.
STARTING / STOPPING THE ENGINE & PREPARING TO DRIVE
DRIVING
Starting the Engine
Stopping the Engine

GEAR SHIFTING, BRAKING & PARKING
Gear Shifting :
The gearshift pattern is shown on
the gear shift lever knob. All forward
gears being synchronized, provide
easy and effortless gear shifting.
Always remember to press the clutch
pedal fully while shifting the gears
and also to release the clutch pedal
gently.
Avoid sudden clutching i.e. abrupt
release of depressed clutch pedal.
NOTICE
The reverse gear should be
engaged only when the car is
stationary. Wait for 5 seconds after
de clutching to ensure smooth
engagement of the reverse gear.
Braking :
The distance required to bring a car
to a halt increase with the speed of
the vehicle. The braking distance
needed for vehicle at 60 kmph will
be approximately 4 times greater
than the braking distance needed at
30 kmph. Anticipate your stop,
slowdown gradually and apply brake.
If water gets into the brake drums,
brake performance may become
poor and unpredictable. After driving
through water or washing the
underside of the vehicle, test the
brake while driving at slow speed to
see if they have maintained there
normal effectiveness. If the brakes
are less effective than normal, dry
them by repeatedly applying the
brake while driving slowly until the
56
brakes have regained their normal
effectiveness.
The non-booster type braking
system may not be fitted in the
Standard model, while the few
models are provided with boosterassisted braking system. The
booster and non-booster versions
provide
similar
braking
performance for the vehicle.
However, the amount of braking effort
required by the driver to activate the
brakes would be lesser in the brakebooster models.
Parking
Park the car in a safe place.
Apply the parking brake.
Ensure that all window glasses are
closed & all lamps are turned ‘OFF’
At night, put on the parking lights if
required.
WARNING
Do not leave the key inside the
car.
Do not leave children unattended
in the car.
Avoid parking the car over
inflammable materials, such as
dry leaves, grass etc., as the
exhaust system is hot enough to
initiate ‘FIRE’.
NOTICE
When parking on a steep slope,
do not rely on the parking brake
alone to hold the vehicle. Leave
the vehicle parked with gear box
in low forward gear when facing
uphill and reverse gear when
facing downhill.
DRIVING
DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITION
Driving Through Water :
Driving on a Rainy Day :
Never venture to drive through water
when it flows over the guard stones
on a bridge.
Your car’s engine may get seriously
damaged if attempted to cross
through deep water. If at all the
situation demands that you have to
drive through water then;
Check brakes, steering, windows,
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 lights ON if
visibility is poor.
•
Keep engine in fast idling and
crawl the car in low gear.
Night Driving :
•
After driving through water, apply
brakes several times to dry the
liners and to regain original
braking.
Do not attempt to start the engine if
car gets flooded with 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.
Dip the head lamp for oncoming
traffic during night driving.
Maintain a speed such that you can
stop within illuminated distance of
head lamps.
Use head lamp main/dip beam to
alert other road users on turns/cross
roads etc.
57
DRIVING
Use side indicators for lane
change or turning.
Switch on hazard warning switch in
case of hazardous parking or if your
vehicle is disabled to warn the
passing traffic.
Climbing Sharp Gradients on
Loose Surfaces :
DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITION
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 vehicle stalls or losses
headway while climbing a steep hill,
make a quick shift to reverse and
allow the vehicle to move back with
the control of engine compression.
Descending Sharp Gradients :
Start off smoothly in any suitable
gear. Apply power smoothly so that
there is no loss of traction by overrevving of the engine.
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 lower
gear has to be done cautiously to
avoid loss of traction.
Under no conditions should the
vehicle be moved diagonally across
a hill. The danger is in loss of traction
and sideways slippage, possibly
resulting in toppling over. If
unavoidable, choose as mild an
angle as possible and keep the
vehicle moving.
58
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.
ADVANCE WARNING TRIANGLE &
HAZARD WARNING SWITCH
DRIVING
Advance Warning Triangle :
Hazard Warning Switch :
An advance warning triangle is
provided along with your vehicle. In
case there is a breakdown and or the
vehicle is to be parked at the side of
road, then the triangle is to be used

washer fluid/ water jets (Pressure
above 0.5 Bar) at electrical
devices and connecter during
wasing. This is to prevent
malfunction / failure of electrical
systemdue to water ingress.
After drying the Car, inspect it for
chips and scratches that could allow
corrosion to start. Apply touch up
paint where necessary.
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

MAINTENANCE
regularly could lead to serious
trouble due to insufficient oil.
2. Dip Stick
Engine oil level should be checked
when engine is cold. Allow at least
30 mins. for engine oil to settle before
checking oil level.
1. For checking engine oil level, pull
out the dipstick from the engine
oil case, wipe it clean with a cloth
or a paper napkin.
2. Insert it again to its original
position.
3. Pull out the dipstick again and
observe the oil level on the
dipstick.
4. If the oil level is below the mid
point of min. and max. marks, top
up using recommended grade of
oil.
ENGINE OIL TOP-UP
Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil
slowly through the filler hole to bring
the oil level to the upper limit on the
dipstick. Be careful not to overfill. Too
much oil is almost as bad as too little
oil. After refilling, start the engine and
allow it to idle for about a minute. Stop
the engine; let the oil settle and check
oil level again.
ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL
The coolant level in the coolant noloss tank should be between max. &
min. marks. This can be viewed
through a translucent reservoir. If
less, add coolant up to the max. mark
and refit the cap properly.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Oil level should not exceed the
max. Mark. Always check the oil
level when the car is on a level
ground and the engine in cold
condition.
Check the engine oil level if “low oil
pressure” warning comes 'ON' while
driving. Failure to check the oil level
Check coolant level in the radiator,
by opening the pressure cap
(ensure vehicle is in cold condition).
If coolant level is seen below filler
neck top, then add specified premixed coolant (50:50).
85
MAINTENANCE
Check coolant level in ‘No-Loss
(Reservoir) tank, if lower than the
MAX leve, then add specific
premixed coolant (50:50) upto refill
level.
NOTICE
Check radiator fins for dirt/dust
accumulation. Get it cleaned from
authorised Tata Service Dealer if
required.
NOTICE
If ‘No loss’ tank is found completely
empty, top up coolant through
radiator as well as auxilary tank
cap.
CAUTION
Never remove the filler cap when
the engine is hot. Use only branded
premixed ready to use coolant. In
case of emergency use normal
water only. When a proper coolant
mixture is available, the entire
system should be flushed & filled
with the same at the earliest.
AIR FILTER & SPARK PLUG
Always use a genuine air filter
element.
The air filter is located on the LH side
of the engine compartment.
a) When a vehicle is driven under
dusty conditions, frequent
cleaning and replacement of the
air-cleaner
element
is
necessary.
b) Clogged air-cleaners lead to
greater intake resistance and
result in increased fuel
consumption.
Using
low
pressure compressed air, blow
off dust on the air cleaner
element. If the air cleaner
element appears to be choked,
replace it with a new one.
SPARK PLUG :
Make : Champion RC8YC / RC10YC
Electrode Gap : 0.8 to 0.9 mm
AIR FILTER :
0.8-0.9 mm
The air filter element should be
periodically cleaned.
86
CAUTION
Tightern the spark plug carefully.
Overtightening can damage the
threads in the cylinder head. It
can affect combustion and
cause damage to engine and
catalytic converter.
MAINTENANCE
TYRES
Tyres
Check for inflation and condition of
your car tyres periodically.
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.
CAUTION
Every time you check inflation
pressure, you should also
examine tyres for damage, foreign
objects and wear.

28-30 psi /1.9-2.1 kg/cm2
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
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.
NOTICE
Lower air pressure (Front - 26 &
Rear - 28 psi) is recommended
if you prefer riding comfort
CAUTION
Replace the tyre if you find either
of these conditions.

the side of the tyre.
• Cuts, splits or cracks in the side
of the tyre. Replace the tyre if
you notice this on the fabric or
cord.
• Excessive tread wear or non
uniform tyre wear.
87
MAINTENANCE
Repairing a Tyre :
Mark the tyre position (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.
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 & refit
properly.
Balance the wheel after every
dismantling and assembly of tyre on
the wheel rim if required.
While fitting wheels on the vehicle
ensure that wheel pins are free from
dust, scratches, dirt, dents, etc.
NOTICE
Do not apply any oil on the wheel
pins. Wipe off the oil if present.
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
88
REPAIRING TYRES
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 vehicle with
damaged rim may cause
deflation of tyre and subsequent
dislodging of tyre from rim.
4. Maintain recommended inflation
pressure. Over-inflation, in
particular, may cause puncture
or bursting of tyre.
NOTICE
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 vehicle 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.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT / BALANCING &
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
MAINTENANCE
Wheel alignment :
Care for the Catalytic Converter:
Incorrect wheel alignment causes
excessive and uneven tyre wear.
Check wheel alignment at specified
intervals from our authorised
dealers.
The catalytic Converter does not
require any special maintenance
however, following precaution
should be taken for the effective
functioning of the converter and to
avoid damage to the Converter.
Wheel Balancing :
Wheels of your vehicle are balanced
for better ride comfort and longer
tyre life. Balancing needs to be done
whenever tyre is removed from rim.
Wheel Alignment Data :
Front Wheel Alignment Values
(Unladen Condition) :
Camber Angle : 1.00 (+ve)
Castor Angle : 7.40

•
It is mandatory to use only
unleaded regular grade petrol.
Use of any other petrol or
adulterated fuel can increase the
pollutants and may permanatly
damage the catalytic converter..
CAUTION
Avoid parking the vehicle over
inflammable materials, such as
dry leaves, grass etc., as the
exhaust system is hot enough to
initiate ‘FIRE’

BATTERY
Reconnect and tighten the cables,
coat the terminals with petroleum
jelly.
Ensure that battery is securely
mounted.
If you need to connect the battery to
a charger, disconnect both cables to
prevent damage to the vehicle’s
electrical system.
NOTICE
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 terminal with petroleum
jelly to prevent future corrosion.
Use a proper wrench to loosen and
remove cables from the terminals.
Always disconnect the negative
(-ve) cable first and reconnect it
last.
Clean the battery terminals with a
terminal cleaning tool or wire brush.
90
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 & 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.
Always ensure to get the specific
gravity of the battery checked as
per the maintenance schedule.

3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To avoid risk of damage and/or fire,
observe the following precautions:
• To avoid short-circuits, never
insert metallic objects (for
instance: coins or metallic tools)
into the unit.
• If you notice that the unit is
releasing smoke or strange
smell, promptly disconnect the
supply and consult the nearest
Tata service Center.
• Pay attention not to let the unit fall
down, and neither beat the device
strongly.
Glass
internal
components of the unit may be
damaged, making it nonoperative.
• If the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
is damaged or broken as a result
of a crash, never touch the liquid
crystal fluid inside it. The liquid
crystal fluid may be harmful to
your health. If that fluid gets in
contact with your body or clothes,
wash it promptly with water and
soap and seek for medical help.
• Do not place 8 cm (3 inches)
compact disks into the CD
opening. If you try to place into the
device an 8cm CD with its
adaptor, it may separate from the
CD and damage the unit.
Cleaning of the Unit
If the front panel of this unit is dirt,
clean it with a dry cloth or slightly
soaked in water. If the front panel is
too dirty, clean it with a cloth
104
moistened with neutral soap and
then repeat the prior operation.
CAUTION
Do not use any cleaning spray
with this unit, as that can affect its
mechanical parts. If you clean the
front panel with a rough cloth or
using a volatile liquid, like solvent
or alcohol, that may scratch the
surface
or
erase
some
characters.
Important warnings about the use
of the Bluetooth device
Your car Infotainment system has a
built-in Bluetooth device. As
explained in this manual, such
device will enable a wireless
connection of you Infotainment
system to compatible cell phones
and multimedia devices which also
have a built-in Bluetooth device.
Below are important aspects about
the operation of the Bluetooth
function in your Infotainment system:
1. The Infotainment system can
support only one Bluetooth
device pairing at a time. For
instance, you cannot use your
Infotainment system to pair two
cell phones concurrently to
undesirable communication.
2. Your Infotainment system will
automatically reconnect the cell
phone or multimedia device you
have paired. If you do not want an
automatic connection of your
Infotainment system, take one of
the following measures to
disable this option:
MUSIC SYSTEM - OPERATOR’S MANUAL
• Turn off the Bluetooth function
in the cell phone or multimedia
device that would be
automatically connected.
• Keep the cell phone or
multimedia device that would
be automatically connected in
the OFF state.
• Delete from the connected BT
phone from the Infotainment
system.
CAUTION
The automatic connection will be
always ON, as long as the radio's
Bluetooth function is active.
Failure to take any one of the
above measures can cause an
undesirable communication.
Radio reception
Always memorize the desired
stations using the radio memory
keys. This will help you select
desired station in a faster manner.
AM Reception (Medium Waves)
At most conditions, strong AM
signals provide stable sound quality
and with low sign noise. At night,
however,
the
atmospheric
conditions may sometimes lead to
interference from other stations.
FM Reception
FM zone offers best quality sound
reception; however, the signal
intensity may be subjected to noise
caused by:
• Limited
reach
transmitters;
of
some
• Distortion caused by signals
reflected in local buildings and
other obstructions;
• “Shadow zones” wherein the
signal reception is obstructed or
restricted;
CAUTION
Do not insert sharp objects into
and do not obstruct bluetooth
microphone holes as that can
cause damage or malfunctioning
of the same leading to
undesirable communication.

5.1. AM Reception (Medium Waves)
At most conditions, strong AM
signals provide stable sound quality
and with low sign noise. At night,
however, the atmospheric conditions
may sometimes lead to interference
from other stations.
AM signals are susceptible to
interference caused by the
emissions of electronic control
units. Noise amplitudes vary
randomly at AM frequencies. Change
in noise amplitude modulates the
signal and it may get picked up by
the tuner.
5.2. FM Reception
• “MUTE” icon will be flashed when
muted or volume reduced to zero
in AM/FM and AUX modes.
FM zone offers best quality sound
reception, however, the signal
intensity may be subjected to noise
caused by limited range of some
transmitters and distortion caused
by signals reflected in local
buildings and shadow zones
wherein the signal reception is
obstructed or restricted.

9.1. Bluetooth Operation
9.1.1. What is Bluetooth wireless
technology?
Bluetooth® wireless technology is
a radio technology that connects
devices, such as mobile phones
and headsets, without wires or
cords over a short distance of
approximately 10 meters (approx.
33 feet). Get more information at
www.bluetooth.com.
9.1.2. What are Bluetooth wireless
profiles?
Bluetooth wireless profiles are the
different ways that Bluetooth devices
communicate with other devices. In
order to support a certain profile, a
phone
manufacturer
must
implement certain mandatory
features within the phone’s
software. The following are the
currently supported profiles for the
Infotainment unit in your vehicle:
9.1.2.1. Hands-Free Profile (HFP)
HFP is a Bluetooth profile (mode)
designed to enable a two-way
wireless speaker-phone to be used
with a Bluetooth phone.
A Bluetooth car kit will use HFP to
connect to a Bluetooth phone,
allowing phone calls to take place
via the car's audio system.
9.1.2.2.
Advanced
Audio
Distribution Profile (A2DP)
The Advanced Audio Distribution
Profile is a Bluetooth profile that
allows for the wireless transmission
of stereo audio from an A2DP
source (typically a Bluetooth
connected phone) to the car audio.
9.1.2.3. Audio/Video Remote
Control Profile (AVRCP)
This enables music from Bluetooth
audio player to be controlled
