Environment Safety - TATA Motors Bolt Owner's Manual

TATA MOTORS LTD. is committed to produce vehicles
using environmentally sustainable technology. A number
of features have been incorporated in Tata Motors
passenger vehicles which have been designed to ensure
environmental compatibility 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 driving 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 unnecessary revving it up 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
rd
each gear upto 2/3 of it's maximum engine speed.
A chart indicating gear shifting speeds is given in
this book.
MAINTENANCE
Ensure that recommended maintenance is carried
out on the vehicle regularly at the Authorised Service
Outlets.
As soon as you see any leakages of oil or fuel in
the vehicle we recommend to get it attended
immediately.
Use only recommended grades and specified
quantity of lubricants.
Get your vehicle checked for emission periodically
by an authorised dealer
