Car Care - TATA Motors TIGOR EV 2021 Owner's Manual

CAR CARE

Your vehicle is subjected to many external
influences such as climate, road condi-
tions, industrial pollution and proximity to
the sea. These conditions demand regular
care of the vehicle body. Dirt, insects, bird
droppings, oil, grease, fuel and stone chip-
pings should be removed as soon as pos-
sible.
Washing
Following these tips while washing your
vehicle.
1. Always wash your vehicle in shade
and the surface is at room tempera-
ture.
2. Wash with mild vehicle wash soap like
'Car Shampoo' and use a soft bristle
brush, sponge or soft cloth and rinse it
frequently while washing 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 con-
taminants like tar, use turpentine or
cleaners like 'Stain remover' which are
safe for paint surfaces.
5. Avoid substances like petrol, diesel,
kerosene, benzene, thinner, acids or
other solvents that cause damage to
paint.
6. Dry your vehicle thoroughly to prevent
any damp spots.
7. Rinse all surfaces thoroughly to pre-
vent any traces of soap and other
cleaners as this may lead to the forma-
tion of stains on the painted surface
later.
NOTE
Avoid parking the car under trees with-
out proper cover. This will reduce the
amount of bird droppings, tree sap and
pollen contact on the paint surface.
Regularly remove the twigs, leaves and
vegetation near the windshield areas to
avoid water stagnation.
WARNING
Do not wash the vehicle with high pres-
sure washer fluid/ water jets (Pressure
above 0.5 bar) specifically at electrical
devices under bonnet area and con-
necter / underbody wiring harness dur-
ing washing. This is to prevent
malfunction / failure of electrical system
due to water ingress.
After drying the vehicle, inspect it for chips
and scratches that could allow corrosion
to start. Apply touch up paint where nec-
essary.
Cleaning of Carpets
Vacuum clean the carpet regularly to re-
move 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.
