Taking care of the Environment

Tata Motors is committed to producing cars using
environmental friendly technology. A number of features have
been incorporated in our passenger cars which are
specifically designed to ensure environmental compatibility
throughout the life cycle of the car. We would like to inform
you that your car meets emission norms and is being
regularly validated at the manufacturing stages to keep up
with the stringent emission norms.
As a user you too can protect the environment by operating
your car in a proactive manner. A lot depends on your driving
style and the way you maintain your car. Listed below are
few tips that will help you do so.
WHILE DRIVING :
•
Avoid frequent and violent acceleration.
•
Do not carry any unnecessary weight on the vehicle
as it overloads the engine.
•
Avoid using devices requiring high power consumption
during slow traffic condition.
•
Monitor the car's fuel consumption regularly. If it shows
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
a rising trend get the car immediately attended to at
the Company's Authorised Service Centre.
•
Switch off the engine during long stops at traffic jams
or signals. If you need to keep the engine running,
avoid unnecessary revving or stopping and starting.
•
It is not necessary to rev up the engine before turning
it off as it unnecessarily burns the fuel.
•
Shift to higher gears as soon as it is possible. Use
each gear upto 2/3 rd of it's maximum engine speed. A
chart indicating gear shifting speeds is given in this
book.
MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR :
•
Ensure that recommended maintenance is carried out
on the car regularly at the Tata Motors Authorised
Service Outlets.
•
As soon as you notice any leakage of oil or fuel in the
car we recommend that you get it attended
immediately.
•
Use only recommended brands and grades of lubricants
& coolants and clean/uncontaminated fuels.
