TATA MOTORS LTD. is committed to produce vehicles using en-
vironmentally sustainable technology. A number of features
have been incorporated in TATA MOTORS passenger vehicles
which have been designed to ensure environmental compati-
bility throughout the life cycle of the vehicle. We would like to
inform you that your vehicle 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 vehicle in a proactive manner. A lot depends on your driv-
ing style and the way you maintain your vehicle. We have given
a few tips for your guidance.
Driving
 Avoid frequent and violent acceleration.
 Do not carry any unnecessary weight in the vehicle as it
overloads the engine. Avoid using devices requiring high
power consumption during slow city traffic condition.
 Monitor the vehicle's fuel consumption regularly and if
showing rising trend get the car immediately attended at
the Company's Authorised Service Outlets.
 Switch off the engine during long stops at traffic jams or
signals. If you need to keep the engine running, avoid un-
necessary revving it or stopping and starting.
 It is not necessary to rev the engine before turning it off as
it unnecessarily burns fuel.
 Shift to higher gears as soon as it is possible. Use each gear
upto rd of its maximum engine speed.

settings or to carry modifications on the vehicle.
