DRIVING
TIPS TO IMPROVE FUEL
Your vehicle's fuel economy is mainly
dependent on your style of driving.To
operate your vehicle as economically
as possible, use the following driving
suggestions.
Avoid excessive Idling :
Switch off the engine, if you have to stop
for more than a minute.
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-cleaner :
The amount of air supplied will reduce
due to clogged air-cleaner, resulting in
waste of fuel due to incomplete
combustion.
Replace the air filter element as per the
servicing instructions label on air filter
body. We do not recommend to clean

ECONOMY:
the air filter element before the
replacement period , however if filter
element is to be cleaned ( in case of
vehicle operation in dusty condition )
procedure indicated on servicing label to
be followed.Get the air filter element
replaced / cleaned at a TATA MOTORS
Authorised Service Center.
Avoid incorrect tyre pressures :
Ensure proper tyre inflation. If your vehicle
tyres are under-inflated, it results in
increased rolling resistance of the tyres,
leading to wastage of fuel. Check tyre
pressure and inflate the tyres accordingly
once a week.
PROPER DRIVING PRACTICES :
Keep a safe distance from other vehicles
to avoid braking suddenly. Anticipate
stops and avoid abrupt stops, this will
decrease fuel consumption and increase
the life of vehicle's brake and tyres.
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.
