ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
TATA MOTORS LTD. is committed
to produce vehicles using
environmentally
sustainable
technology. Many features have
been incorporated in Tata Motors
passenger vehicles which have
been designed to ensure
environmental
compatibility
throughout the life cycle of the
vehicle. We would like to inform
you that your car meets emission
norms and this is being regularly
validated at the manufacturing
stages.
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. We
have given a few tips for your
guidance.
DRIVING
• Avoid frequent and violent
accelerations / rev-ups.
• Avoid overloading of the engine.
Avoid using devices requiring
high power consumption during
slow city traffic condition.
• Monitor
the
car’s
fuel
consumption regularly and if
showing rising trend get the
car immediately attended at the
TATA MOTORS Authorised
Service Centre.
• Switch off the engine during
long stops at traffic jams or
signals. If you need to keep the
engine running, do not
unnecessarily rev-up.Avoid
stopping and starting.
• Do not rev-up the engine before
turning it off as it unnecessarily
burns the fuel.
• Shift to higher gears as soon
as it is possible without
overloading the engine. Use
each gear upto 2/3 r d of it’s
maximum engine speed. A
chart indicating gear shifting
speeds is given in this book.
MAINTENANCE
• Ensure that recommended
maintenance is carried out on
the car regularly at the TATA
MOTORS Authorized Workshop.
• As soon as you see any
leakages of oil, fuel or coolant
in the car we recommend to get
it attended immediately.
• Use
only
recommended
grades and specified quantity
of lubricants.
• Get your car checked for
emission periodically by an
authorised dealer.
• Ensure periodic radiator fins
cleaning.
• Ensure that fuel filter, oil filter
and breather are checked
periodically and replaced, if
required, as recommended by
Tata Motors.
9
ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
•
Do not pour used oils or
coolants into the sewage
drains, garden soil or open
streams. Dispose the used
filters and batteries in
compliance with the current
legislation.
•
Do not allow unauthorised
person to tamper with engine
settings
or
to
carry
modifications on the car.
•
Never allow the car to run out
of fuel.
•
Parts like brake liners, clutch
discs should be vacuum
cleaned.
Do
not
use
compressed air for cleaning
these parts which may spread
dust in the atmosphere.
•
While carrying out servicing or
repairs on your vehicle, you
should pay keen attention to
some of the important engine
components which greatly affect
emission. These components
are:
1. Fuel pump, Injectors and EMS
(Engine Management System)
parts.
2. Air Intake and Exhaust systems
(especially for leakages).
3. Cylinder head/Valve leakages.

allows
continuous
diagnosis of the components of the
vehicle correlated with emissions.
This system warns the driver, by
turning “ON” the Malfunction
Indication lamp (MIL) on the
instrument cluster, when a fault
causes emission levels to increase.
The OBD system also has a
diagnostic connector that can be
interfaced
with
appropriate
diagnostic tools, which makes it
possible to read the fault codes
stored in the Electronic Control Unit,
together with a series of specific
parameters for Engine operation
and Diagnosis. This check can also
be carried out by the traffic police.
In case the fault occurs and MIL
on the instrument cluster comes
ON, contact nearest TATA
MOTORS Authorized Workshop.
After
eliminating
the
inconvenience, to check the
system completely, TATA MOTORS
Authorized Workshop are obliged
to run a bench test and if
necessary, road tests which may
also call for a long journey. The
functioning of MIL lamp may also
be checked by the traffic police
using specific devices.

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.
1. Pull the tongue across your body
and insert it into the buckle.
2. Check and ensure that the belt
is not twisted.
3
1. Seat Belt
2. Tongue
2
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.
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.
61
GETTING STARTED
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.
SEAT BELTS
12. Clean the webbing with a mild soap
solution recommended for
upholstery. Bleaching or dyeing
the webbing may weaken it.
Lap belt:
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.
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.
62
Pull the tongue to the desired length.
Insert it into the buckle until you hear
a click.
Adjust the belt length. To lengthen
the belt, hold 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.
SEAT BELTS
GETTING STARTED

WARNING
• Avoid breathing exhaust gases.
Exhaust gases contain harmful
carbon monoxide, a potentially
lethal gas that is colorless and
odourless. Since carbon
monoxide is difficult to detect by
itself, be sure to take the
following precautions to help
prevent carbon monoxide from
entering your vehicle.
• Do not park with the engine
running for a long period of time,
even in an open area. If it is
necessary to sit for a short time
in a parked vehicle with the
engine running, make sure the
air intake lever is set to “FRESH
AIR” and the fan is at high
speed.
• Avoid operating the vehicle with
the rear end door open. If it is
necessary to operate the
vehicle with the rear end door
open, make sure all the
windows are closed and the fan
is at high speed with the air
intake lever set to “FRESH AIR”.
• Have the exhaust system
inspected periodically for
damage and leaks. Any damage
or leaks should be repaired
immediately.
• Keep the exhaust tail pipe area
clear of snow and other material
to help reduce the buildup of
exhaust gases under the
vehicle. This is particular
important when parked in
blizzard condition.

temperature. Do not use worn or bald
tyres specially on the front wheels.
Always keep windshield glass clean
to avoid any distraction in visibility.
Ensure proper working of wipers
and condition of wiper blade.
Ensure that windshield washer
reservoir is full. Do not operate wiper
alone when the windshield glass is
dry, this would damage the
windshield.
Headlights
Keep headlight lenses clean. Check
for operation of head lamps in both
high/low beam condition. Check for
correct focusing of head lamps. Use
only recommended type of bulbs. Do
not use the high beam unless it is
inevitable. Its dazzle may glare the
driver of the oncoming car the
condition thus causing an accident.
Side indicators / Hazard warning
Ensure that all side indicators /
hazard warning switch are always
in working condition and they are

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 should always wear
seat-belt, while vehicle is in motion.
Influence of Alcohol
Do not drive under the influences of
alcohol or drugs. Alcohol and drugs
will severely impair your control of
the vehicle and increase the risk of
injury yourself and others.
Mobile phones
Do not use mobile phones while
driving a vehicle. This could divert
your attention from the road and
result in an accident.
DRIVING
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 :
Shut Off the engine if you have to
wait for more than a minute while
you are in traffic.
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:
The amount of air supplied will
reduce due to clogged air-filter,
resulting in loss of power and fuel
economy.
Keep weight to a minimum:
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 a rest
and get refreshed at intervals.
The heavier the load, the more fuel
the vehicle consumes. Take out any
luggage or cargo when it is not
necessary.
Maintain correct tyre pressures:
Under-inflated tyres result in
increased running resistance of the
tyres, leading to wastage of fuel.
(Refer tyre maintenance section)
69
DRIVING
FUEL ECONOMY
Proper Driving Practices :
Keep a safe distance from other
vehicles to avoid braking suddenly.
NOTE
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 (MT) :
Always adhere to following fuel
economy speeds.
Gear

1st
10
2nd
20 - 30

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.

GEAR SHIFTING (MT)
Gear Shifting (MT) :
• When driving on slippery roads,
be sure to slow down before
changing down. Excessive and
or sudden changes in engine
speed may cause loss of
traction, which could cause you
to lose control.
• Make sure that the vehicle is
completely stationary before you
change into reverse.
CAUTION
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.
NOTE
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.
WARNING
• Reduce your speed and
change down to a lower gear
before going down a long or
steep hill. Avoid riding the
brakes or they may overheat,
resulting in brake failure.
72
• To help avoid clutch damage,
do not use the clutch pedal as
a footrest while driving or use
the clutch to keep the vehicle
stationary on a hill. Depress the
clutch fully when changing gear.
• When changing gears or
starting off, do not race the
engine. Racing the engine can
shorten engine life and prevent
smooth operation.
DRIVING
BRAKING,STOPPING & PARKING (MT)
Braking :
Stopping :
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.
Before switching off the engine, run
the engine in idle condition for at least
30 seconds and then switch ‘OFF’.
Turn the ignition key to ‘ACC’
position to stop the engine.
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
brakes have regained their normal
effectiveness.
The booster type braking system is
provided in this vehicle. However, the
amount of braking effort required by
the driver to activate the brakes
would be lesser in the brakebooster models.
NOTE
The engine being at the rear of the
car, its sound characteristics are
unique compared to the other
vehicles.
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’.
NOTE
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.

• Whenever accelerator pedal is
pressed creep function will be
disabled
• Whenever driver door is opened
and / or parking brake is
engaged, creep function will be
disabled.
Kick down feature :
In Automatic mode, while driving at
a constant speed if the accelerator
pedal is quickly pressed the AMT
downshifts the gear (if required). It
ensures optimum acceleration to
complete overtaking in minimal
time.
77
DRIVING
Driving Through Water :
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;
•
Keep engine in fast idling and
crawl the car in low gear.
•
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
MOTORS Authorised Service
Centre 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, 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.
78
DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITION
Night 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.
Switch on hazard warning switch in
case of hazardous parking or if your
vehicle is disabled to warn the
passing traffic.
Maintain a speed such that you can
stop within illuminated distance of
head lamps.
Climbing Sharp Gradients on
Loose Surfaces :
Start off smoothly in a suitable gear.
Accelerate smoothly so that there
is no loss of traction by over-revving
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.
If the wheels start to slip within few
feet of the end of the climb, motion
DRIVING
DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITION
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.
Climbing Sharp Gradients using
AMT :
Apply the parking brake firmly so
that the vehicle does not roll
backwards.
Shift the gearshift lever to the “A”
position while depressing the
brake pedal. Make sure that the gear
position indicator in the instrument
cluster displays ‘1st’ gear.
Release the brake pedal and
depress the accelerator pedal
gradually, and when the vehicle
starts to move, release the parking
brake and depress the accelerator
pedal to start off.
On climbing sharp gradients, never
hold the vehicle at a stop using only
the accelerator pedal or the
creeping function. If you perform this
operation for a certain period of
time, this can also cause excessive
damage to the clutch.
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.
NOTE
Creeping function will not operate
when vehicle is in standstill
condition on inclined surface.
WARNING
Try not to hold the brake pedal
down too long or too often while
going down a steep or long hill.
This could cause the brakes to
overheat, resulting in reduced
braking efficiency. Failure to take
this precaution could result in loss
of vehicle control.
CAUTION
When descending on sharp
gradients, NEVER turn the ignition
key to the ‘OFF’ position.
Emission control system damage
may result.
Descending Sharp Gradients using
AMT :
Depress the brake pedal and shift
the gear shift lever to the ‘A’
position. Make sure that the gear
position indicator in the instrumental cluster displays ‘1st’ gear.
Release the brake pedal and
depress the accelerator pedal
slowly. Even if the accelerator pedal
is not depressed, the clutch will be
engaged when the vehicle speed
increases.

MAINTENANCE
AIR FILTER :
AIR FILTER & SPARK PLUG
SPARK PLUG :
Make : Champion RC10YC
Electrode Gap : 0.8 to 0.9 mm
The air filter element should be
periodically cleaned.
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) Blow air from inside to outside
while cleaning the air cleaner
element. 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.

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.
Under inflated tyres reduce your
comfort in car handling and are

107
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.
NOTE
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
108
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.
NOTE
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
Wheel alignment :
Incorrect wheel alignment causes
excessive and uneven tyre wear.
Check wheel alignment at specified
intervals from TATA MOTORS
Authorised Workshop.
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

Keep all sparks & open flames
and smoking materials away
from the battery.
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.
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.
3. When this stops wash it off with
plain water. Dry off the battery with
a cloth or paper towel.
The battery contains sulphuric
acid (electrolyte) which is
poisonous and highly corrosive
in nature.
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

LUBRICANT & COOLANTS
FUEL :
COOLANTS :
Vehicles with catalytic converter :
Presence of dirt in coolant chokes
up passages in radiator, cylinder
head and crankcase, thereby
causing overheating of engine.
Unleaded regular grade petrol
confirming to IS 2796/DIN 51607 (or
equivalent) & octane rating of more
than 81 RON is recommended as
fuel (RON stand for Research
Octane Number).
CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol in the car
fitted with catalytic converter. Even
single fill of leaded petrol will
seriously damage the catalytic
converter.
To prevent rust formation and
freezing of coolant inside the
passages of radiator, crankcase and
cylinder head use premixed coolant
as recommended.
It is recommended that the entire
cooling system should be drained
and filled with fresh premixed
coolant.

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 MOTORS Authorized
Workshop.
• Pay attention not to let the unit fall
down, and neither beat the device
strongly.
Glass
internal
components of the unit may get
damage, making it non-operative.
• 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 dia. (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
124
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. Tuner
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.
• Radio will pause CD / USB play
during mute period and will
display “PAUSE”.
FM signals cannot pass though tall
buildings, hills and get reflected
resulting in poor FM reception.

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.
