MAINTENANCE & VEHICLE CARE
TURBOCHARGER:
Your vehicle has a variable nozzle
turbocharger (VNT) and is connected to
the exhaust manifold. Turbocharger is
used to increase the volumetric efficiency
of the engine.
Lubrication of Turbocharger:
Idle the engine for a while (one minute)
after starting the engine and before
stopping the engine to ensure adequate
lubricating oil supply to the turbocharger.
If you suspect any malfunction of the
turbocharger, take the vehicle to the
nearest TATA authorised dealership.
INTERCOOLER :
Intercooler cools the hot air coming from
the turbocharger before entering the
intake manifold. It does not require any
maintenance, however it can be cleaned
externally by blowing compressed air

TURBOCHARGER, INTERCOOLER & CATALYTIC CONVERTER
CAUTION
While
cleaning,
ensure
intercooler fins are not damaged. If the
fins get damaged, it could lead to loss
of performance and subsequent
failure.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER :
The catalytic converter is fitted on your
vehicle to reduce exhaust pollution. The
catalytic converter will quickly heat up
after starting to ensure that it operates
correctly during the warm up phase of
the engine.
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.
1 It is mandatory to use diesel fuel
with low sulphur content (Refer
recommended fuels). Use of any
other diesel fuel can increase the
pollutants.
2 Avoid parking the vehicle over
inflammable materials, such as dry
that
leaves, grass, etc., as the exhaust
system is hot enough to initiate
"FIRE".
Maintenance of Catalytic Converter
Flush the Catalytic Converter by giving
full throttle (4 to 5 times) in standing
condition of vehicle on daily basis.
In addition to this it is recommended to
run the vehicle at high speed (80 to 100
kmph) for few km as this will help to flush
the carbon soot deposits from exhaust
system and catalytic converter. High
speed running of the vehicle may be done
periodically to avoid chocking of catalytic
converter.
CAUTION
• Avoid push start or tow-starting the
vehicle. (Use jump leads).
• Avoid long (not more than ten sec.)
repeat (not more than three times)
starting of the Vehicle.
