SAFETY

Safe Driving

Safety consciousness not only ensures your safety and the safety of other road users, but it also helps to reduce the wear and tear on your vehicle.

Safe driving depends on:

  • How quickly you make decisions to avoid an accident.
  • Your ability to concentrate.
  • How well you can see and judge objects.
  • How well familiar you are with your vehicle controls and its capabilities.

NOTE

Fatigue is a result of physical or mental exertion that impairs judgment. Driver fatigue may be due to inadequate sleep, extended work hours, strenuous work or combination of other factors. Take rest at regular intervals.

Safety tips

  • Always take into account the road, weather conditions, vehicle distance in order to prevent accidents.
  • Turn 'ON' the side indicators at least 30 meters before taking a turn or changing the lane.
  • Decelerate to a safe speed before taking turn. Avoid braking during cornering.
  • When overtaking other vehicles, watch out for the oncoming vehicle.
  • Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

Drinking and driving and/or taking drugs and driving are very dangerous combinations. Even a small amount of alcohol or drugs can affect your reflexes, perceptions and judgment. The possibility of a serious or even fatal accident is greatly increased when you drink or take drugs and drive.

Do not drink or take drugs and drive or allow anyone to drive who has been drinking or taking drugs.

  • If your vehicle is equipped with infotainment/navigation system, set and make changes to your travel route only when the vehicle is parked.
  • Program radio presets with the vehicle parked, and use your programmed presets to make radio use quicker and simpler.

Driving through water

Do not drive through flooded areas. Judge the depth of water before driving through it. Otherwise, water may enter the vehicle interior or the engine compartment.

If at all the situation demands that you have to drive through water then;

  • Keep engine in higher RPM and crawl the vehicle in low gear.
  • Flowing or rushing water creates strong forces. Driving through flowing water could cause the vehicle to be

carried away. Be very cautious about trying to drive through flowing water.

- Lightly apply the brake pedal to dry the liners until the brakes work effectively once you are out of water.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

Do not attempt to start the engine if vehicle gets flooded due to water. Tow the vehicle to a safe place. Contact a nearest TATA MOTORS authorised service center.

Driving on a rainy day

  • Check wiper blades, lights and brakes for proper functioning and condition.
  • Check the tyre treads depth, the condition of the tread and tyre.
  • Avoid harsh braking and sharp turns. It may cause loss of control and lead to a skid.
  • For slowing down, shift to lower gears and brake gently.
  • Keep lights 'ON' if visibility is poor.

NOTE

If you have driven for a long time in heavy rain without braking, there may be a delayed response from the brakes when braking for the first time. You have to depress the brake pedal more firmly and repeatedly. Maintain a greater distance from the vehicle in front.

Driving through wet roads

On wet road or during light showers, “Aquaplaning” can occur. “Aquaplaning” is the loss of direct contact between the road surface and the vehicle’s tyres due to formation of a water film between them. Steering or braking the vehicle can be very difficult, and loss of control can occur.

NOTE

There is no hard and fast rule about aquaplaning. The best advice is to slow down when the road is wet.

Night driving

  • Ensure that all lights are working and windshield, window glasses are clean.
  • Select 'Antiglare' mode on IRVM.
  • Drive more slowly at night than in the daytime, as the visual range is restricted at night. Maintain a speed such that you can stop within illuminated distance of head lamps.
  • Do not use the high beam unless inevitable. It may dazzle the driver of the oncoming vehicle, thus causing an accident.
  • Use head lamp main/dip beam to alert other road users on turns/ cross roads etc.
  • Use side indicators well in advance for lane change or turning.
  • Do not try to overtake other vehicles at night.

SAFETY

Driving on gradients

When climbing gradient, the vehicle may begin to slow down and show a lack of power. If this happens, shift to a lower gear and apply power smoothly so that there is no loss of traction.

When driving down a hill, the engine braking should be used by shifting to a lower gear.

Do not drive in neutral gear or switch off the engine.

NOTE

For more details refer 'Hill Hold Control (HHC) and 'Hill Descent Control' (HDC) in 'DRIVER ASSIST' section.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

On long and steep gradients, you must reduce the load on the brakes by shifting early to a lower gear. This allows you to take advantage of the engine braking effect and helps avoid overheating of brakes resulting in reduced braking efficiency.

Driving on highway

Stopping distance progressively increases with vehicle speed. Maintain a sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.

For long distance driving, perform safety checks before starting a trip and take rest at certain intervals to prevent fatigue.

Use ‘Cruise Control’ (if equipped) if road and traffic conditions make it appropriate to maintain a steady speed for a prolonged period.

Occupant Safety

The restraint system can reduce the risk of vehicle occupants coming into contact with parts of the vehicle's interior in the event of an accident. The restraint system can also reduce the forces to which vehicle occupants are subjected during an accident.

The restraint system comprises:

  • Seat belt system
  • Air bags

The components of the restraint system work in conjunction with each other.

An air bag supplements a correctly worn seat belt. As an additional safety device, the air bag increases the level of protection for vehicle occupants in the event of an accident.

Seat belts and air bags do not protect against objects penetrating the vehicle from the outside.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

Modifications to the restraint system may cause it to no longer work as intended. The restraint system may then not perform its intended protective function and may fail in an accident or trigger unexpectedly.

This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

Never modify parts of the restraint system. Never tamper with the wiring, the electronic components or their software.

Seat Belts

Seat belts are the most effective means of restricting the movement of vehicle occupants in the event of an accident or the vehicle rolling over. This reduces the risk of vehicle occupants coming into contact with parts of the vehicle interior or being ejected from the vehicle. Furthermore, the seat belt helps to keep the vehicle occupant in the best position in relation to the air bag.

The seat belt system comprises:

  • Seat belts
  • Retractor Pre - Tensioner Load Limiter (RPLL) for the front seat belts

If the seat belt is pulled out of the belt outlet quickly or with a jerky movement, the belt retractor locks. The belt strap cannot be extracted any further.

The RPLL tightens the seat belt in an accident, pulling the belt close against the body. However, it does not pull the vehicle occupant back in the direction of the backrest.

The RPLL does not compensate an incorrect seat position or the routing of an incorrectly fastened seat belt.

The use of seat belts and child restraint systems is required by law.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

If the seat belt is incorrectly fastened, it cannot protect as intended. Furthermore, an incorrectly fastened seat belt can cause additional injury. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

Make sure that all vehicle occupants are seated properly with a correctly fastened seat belt.

SAFETY

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

The seat belt does not offer the intended level of protection if you have not moved the backrest to an almost upright position. When braking or in the event of an accident, you could slide underneath the seat belt and sustain abdomen or neck injuries. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

Adjust the seat properly before beginning your journey. Always ensure that the backrest is in an almost upright position and that the shoulder section of your seat belt is routed across the center of your shoulder.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

The seat belts may not perform their intended protective function if:

• they are damaged, modified, bleach or dyed
• the seat belt buckle is damaged

- the RPLL, belt anchorages or inertia reels have been modified Seat belts may sustain non-visible damage in an accident. Modified or damaged seat belts may tear or fail, e.g. in an accident. Modified RPLL could accidentally trigger or fail to deploy when necessary. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

Never modify the seat belts, RPLL, belt anchorages or inertia reels. Make sure that the seat belts are undamaged, not worn out and clean. Following an accident, have the seat belts checked immediately at a TATA MOTORS Authorized Service Centre.

Proper use of the seat belts

All vehicle occupants must be wearing the seat belt correctly before beginning the journey. Also make sure that all vehicle occupants are always wearing the seat belt correctly while the vehicle is in motion.

When fastening the seat belt, always make sure that:

  • the seat belt tongue is only inserted to the belt buckle belonging to that seat.
  • the seat belt is tight across your body. Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a winter coat.
    • the seat belt is not twisted.
  • the shoulder section of the belt is always routed across the center of your shoulder. The shoulder section of the belt must not come into contact with your neck or be routed under your arm. Where possible, adjust the seat belt to the appropriate height.
  • the lap belt passes tightly and as low down as possible across your lap. The lap belt must always be routed across your hip joints and not across your abdomen. This applies particularly to pregnant women. If necessary, push the lap belt down to your hip joint and pull it tight using the shoulder section of the belt.
  • the seat belt is not routed across sharp, pointed or fragile objects. e.g. pens, keys or eyeglasses. Store these in a suitable place.
  • only one person is using a seat belt at a time.

SAFETY

  • infants and children must never travel sitting on the lap of a vehicle occupant. In the event of an accident, they could be crushed between the vehicle occupant and seat belt.
  • there are never objects between a person and the seat, e.g. cushions.

Seat belts are only intended to secure and restrain vehicle individual occupants.

Child Safety

Important safety notes

Accident statistics show that children secured in the rear seats are safer than children secured in the front-passenger seat. For this reason, TATA MOTORS strongly advises that you install a child restraint system on a rear seat. Children are generally better protected there.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

If you leave children unsupervised in the vehicle, they could set it in motion by, for example:

  • release the parking brake.
  • shift the automatic transmission out of the parking position P.
  • start the engine.

In addition, they may operate vehicle equipment and become trapped. There is a risk of an accident and injury.

When leaving the vehicle, always take the Key with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

If persons, particularly children are subjected to prolonged exposure to extreme heat or cold, there is a risk of injury, possibly even fatal. Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

If the child restraint system is subjected to direct sunlight, parts may get very hot. Children may burn themselves on these parts, particularly on the metal parts of the child restraint system. There is a risk of injury.

If you leave the vehicle, taking the child with you, always ensure that the child restraint system is not exposed to direct sunlight. Protect it with a blanket, for example. If the child restraint system has been exposed to direct sunlight, let it cool down before securing the child in it. Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.

Child Restraint System (CRS)

TATA MOTORS strongly recommends the use of Child Restraint Systems (CRS) for all children up to age of 12 years.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

If the child restraint system is installed incorrectly or is not secured, it can come loose in the event of an accident, heavy braking or a sudden change in direction. The child restraint system could be thrown about, striking vehicle occupants. There is an increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.

Make sure that you observe the child restraint system manufacturer's installations and the notes on use. Please ensure, that the base of the child restraint system is always resting completely on the seat cushion. Never place objects, e.g. cushions, under or behind the child restraint system. Only use child restraint systems with the original cover designed for them. Only replace damaged covers with genuine covers.

SAFETY

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

Child restraint systems or their securing systems which have been damaged or subjected to a load in an accident can no longer protect as intended. The child cannot then be restrained in the event of an accident, heavy braking or sudden changes of direction. There is an increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.

Replace child restraint systems which have been damaged or subjected to a load in an accident as soon as possible.

Selection and installation of CRS

Always select the child restraint system (CRS) that complies with latest safety standards (AIS072/ECE R44). They are classified according to the child's size, height and weight. Select the appropriate CRS for your child. Ensure that the child fits properly in the CRS and CRS is securely installed in the vehicle. Make sure that you observe the child restraint system manufacturer's manual in detail for installation procedure.

SAFETY

NOTE

Accident statistics show that children secured in the rear seats are safer than children secured in the front-passenger seat. For this reason, TATA MOTORS strongly advises that you install the child restraint system on a rear seat.

When installing child restraint system in rear seat, push the front seat fully forward so that child's feet do not touch the front seat back.

Storage for CRS

Secure child restraint system safely in the vehicle or stow it in the luggage compartment if not being used.

While the vehicle is in motion an unrestrained child restraint system could flung through the vehicle interior in the event of a sudden braking, maneuver or an accident. This could cause injuries to the travelling occupants.

Check list

  1. Never carry children on somebody's lap when vehicle is in motion.
  2. Always secure children in the vehicle in a CRS. The CRS must be suitable for the child's height, weight and build.
  3. Observe the instructions from the manufacturer of the CRS and always keep the instruction manual in the vehicle.
  4. Always make sure that the seat belt routing is correct for children and they are sitting in the correct position.
  5. Do not leave any toys or other objects loose in the CRS or on the seat while the vehicle is in motion.

Unsecured animals could also be flung around the vehicle in the event of an accident or sudden steering or braking, thereby injuring vehicle occupants. There is a risk of an accident and injury.

Never leave animals unattended in the vehicle. Always secure animals properly during the journey, e.g. use a suitable animal transport box.

SAFETY

Air Bags - Supplemental Restraint System

The installation point of an air bag can be recognized by the AIR BAG symbol.

An air bag complements the correctly fastened seat belt. It is no substitute for the seat belt. The air bag provides additional protection in applicable accident situations.

Not all air bags are deployed in an accident. The different air bag systems function independently from one another

Important safety notes

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

If you do not sit in the correct seat position, the air bag cannot protect as intended and could even cause additional injury when deployed. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

To avoid hazardous situations, always make sure that all of the vehicle's occupants:

• have fastened their seat belts correctly, including pregnant women
- are sitting correctly and maintain the greatest possible distance to the air bags
- are placed no objects between the air bag and the vehicle's occupants.

- Adjust the seats properly before beginning your journey. Always make sure that the seat is in an almost upright position.

  • Move the driver's and front-passenger seats as far back as possible. The driver's seat position must allow the vehicle to be driven safely.
  • Only hold the steering wheel on the outside. This allows the air bag to be fully deployed.
  • Always lean against the backrest while driving. Do not lean forwards or lean against the door or side window. You may otherwise be in the deployment area of the air bags.
  • Always keep your feet in the footwell in front of the seat. Do not put your feet on the dashboard, for example. Your feet may otherwise be in the deployment area of the air bag.

Objects in the vehicle interior may prevent an air bag from functioning correctly.

Before starting your journey and to avoid risks resulting from the speed of the air bag as it deploys, make sure that:

  • there are no people, animals or objects between the vehicle occupants and an air bag.
  • there are no objects between the seat, door and B-pillar.
  • no hard objects, e.g. coat hangers, hang on the grab handles or coat hooks.
  • no accessories, such as cup holders, are attached to the vehicle within the deployment area of an air bag, e.g. to doors, side windows, rear side trim or side walls.
  • no heavy, sharp-edged or fragile objects are in the pockets of your clothing. Store such objects in a suitable place.

Front Air bags

natural_image Interior view of a car showing two white head coverings labeled 'PAB' and 'DAB', with no visible text or symbols beyond the labels.

Driver's air bag (DAB) deploys in front of the steering wheel. Front-passenger air bag (PAB) deploys in front of and above the glove box.

When deployed, the front air bags offer additional head and thorax protection for the occupants in the front seats.

The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamps inform you about the status of the front passenger air bag.

Passenger Air Bag (PAB) switch
NO SECTOR

If it becomes necessary to fit a child restraint on the front passenger seat the passenger airbag must be de-activated using the switch located on the left side of the dashboard. This switch can be accessed once front passenger side door is opened.

On the contrary, when an adult is seated in the front passenger seat, ensure that PAB disabling switch is turned to 'ON' position. This will ensure that the passenger airbag is operational in the event of a collision. This switch is operated using the ignition/remote key blade.

SAFETY

Side Air bags

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

Unsuitable seat covers could restrict or even prevent the deployment of the air bags integrated into the seats. Consequently, the air bags cannot protect vehicle occupants as they are designed to do. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

You should only use seat covers that have been approved for the respective seat by TATA MOTORS.

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 2

natural_image Interior view of a car showing the rear seat of a vehicle with a red arrow pointing to the side panel (no text or symbols visible)

Front side impact air bags deploy next to the outer bolster of the seat backrest.

When deployed, the side impact air bag offers additional thorax protection. It also offers additional pelvis protection for occupants in the front seats.

However, it does not protect the:

  • head
  • neck
  • arms

In the event of a side impact, the side impact air bag is deployed on the side on which the impact occurs.

If the belt tongue is engaged in the belt buckle, the side impact air bag on the front passenger side deploys if an appropriate accident situation occurs. In this case, deployment is independent of whether the front passenger seat is occupied or not.

Curtain air bags

natural_image Interior view of a car showing the rearview mirror with a red arrow pointing to the side panel (no text or symbols visible)

Airbag warning information is provided on the front passenger's sun visors.

NOTE

If the Air bag warning tell-tale

Tata Hexa (2017) - NOTE - 1

on the instrument cluster stays ON while driving, there may be a problem with the Air bag system. Contact TATA MOTORS Authorised Service Centre.

In case of any frontal damage to your vehicle or any maintenance required to be performed should be done by TATA MOTORS Authorised Service Centre only.

Do not permit anyone else to do any service, inspection, maintenance or repair on any SRS components or wiring.

Improper work on the SRS system will result in inadvertent deployment of the air bag or malfunctioning.

SAFETY

ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
Sudden BRAKING WITHOUT ABS WITH ABS

ABS regulates brake pressure in such a way that the wheels do not lock when you brake.

This allows you to continue steering the vehicle when braking.

The AB learning lamp in the instrument cluster lights up when the ignition is switched on. It goes out when the engine is running.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

If ABS is faulty, the wheels could lock when braking. The steerability and braking characteristics may be severely impaired. There is an increased danger of skidding and accidents.

Drive on carefully. Have ABS checked immediately at a TATA MOTORS Authorized Service Centre as soon as possible.

When Braking:

If ABS intervenes: continue to depress the brake pedal vigorously until the braking situation is over.
To make a full brake application: depress the brake pedal with full force.

If ABS intervenes when braking, you will feel a pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake pedal can be an indication of hazardous road conditions, and functions as a reminder to take extra care while driving.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

The stopping distance required for vehicles with ABS may be slightly more than conventional brake system but ABS will still offer the advantage of helping you maintain directional control.

However, remember that ABS will not compensate for bad road or weather conditions or poor driver judgment. Drive within safety margins, taking into consideration prevailing weather and traffic conditions.

EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution)

EBD monitors and controls the brake pressure on the rear wheels to improve driving stability while braking.

EBD provides optimal braking pressure distribution between front and rear axle to optimize braking distance and to ensure vehicle stability by means of lowering braking pressure increase at rear axle.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

If EBD Ⓔ malfunctioning, the rear wheels can lock, e.g. under full braking. This increases the risk of skidding and an accident.

You should therefore adapt your driving style to the different handling characteristics. Have the brake system checked immediately at a TATA MOTORS Authorized Service Centre as soon as possible.

E-Key

An E-Key is an electronic access and authorization system which is provided as a standard feature on your vehicle.

Unlocking principle

The transponder which is built into the ignition E-Key carries a unique identification code. The vehicle unlocks when the code on the E-Key matches with the code on the Engine Management System (EMS).

Engine starting

When the key is inserted and the ignition is switched 'ON', all codes are communicated within concerned components (E-Key, Immobilizer and EMS). The engine will start only if all the codes match.

NOTE

Key can be removed from the ignition switch only when the vehicle is in Park (P) mode (applicable for AT variants).

Loss of keys

If one of the keys is lost, contact your nearest TATA MOTORS authorised dealer immediately.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

  • Do not turn 'ON' ignition switch by using E-key with any type of metal wound around its grip or in contact with it. This may be detected as abnormal condition by immobilizer and prevent engine from starting.
  • Do not leave the E-key in areas of high temperature. The transponder in it will behave abnormally when reused.
  • Do not try to start the vehicle when the Immobilizer indicator lamp on the instrument cluster is glowing. In this condition the vehicle will not start and the vehicle's battery will also be drained due to frequent cranking.

SAFETY

Immobilizer - Anti-Theft Device

Immobilizer system is designed to prevent vehicle theft by electronically disabling the engine ignition system. The engine can be started only with vehicle's original Immobilizer ignition key which has an electronic identification programmed code.

NOTE

Use only E-key, the other should be kept in a safe location. Note down 'key Tag no.' information (and keep it safe) which is required while getting new/spare keys.

Remember that it is not possible to prepare new/spare keys without the "key Tag number." Take precaution about E-key, as without E-key vehicle cannot be started.

Weekly check:

• Engine oil and coolant level
- Brake and steering fluid level
• Windshield washer fluid level
- Battery electrolyte level

NOTE

Check the tyre pressure regularly including spare wheel.

Driving Tips

Fuel consumption, engine, transmission, brake and tyre wear are affected by below factors:

  • Operating conditions of your vehicle
  • Your personal driving style

Operating conditions:

  • Avoid frequent start and stop as these increase fuel consumptions.
    • Always make sure that the tyre pressures are correct.
  • Do not carry any unnecessary weight.
  • Regularly service your vehicle and adhere to the recommended service maintenance schedule.

Personal driving style

- Do not depress the accelerator pedal when starting the engine.

NOTE

Do not warm up the engine with the vehicle stationary. Drive off immediately. Avoid high engine speeds and driving at full throttle until the engine has reached its operating temperature.

  • Always adapt your driving style to suit the prevailing road and weather conditions and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. Drive carefully.
  • Avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and braking.
  • Select appropriate gear according to varying speeds and load conditions.

NOTE

Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving.

  • Switch off the engine in stationary traffic or at signals.
  • Keep an eye on the vehicle's fuel consumption.

- Driving safety systems are merely aids designed to assist driving. You are responsible for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed and anticipating braking in good time.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

You could lose control of your vehicle if you try to adjust the driver's seat, head restraint, mirror, steering wheel and fasten the seat belt while driving. There is a risk of an accident.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Good driving practices

  • Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoiding revving of the engine causing damage.
  • Avoid frequent brake application which can cause overheating of brakes. Anticipate your stops properly.
  • Slower the vehicle speed while travelling in cross winds. This gives much better control over the vehicle.
  • Avoid high speed when cornering or turning.
  • Depress the clutch fully while shifting gears.
  • Make sure that vehicle is completely stationary before you attempt to shift in reverse gear.
  • Drive slowly on wet roads.
  • You can get extra braking from the engine when slowing down by shifting to a lower gear. This can help you to maintain a safe speed and prevent your brakes from overheating specially while going down a hill.

Tips for obtaining better fuel efficiency

  • Always maintain the specified tyre pressure during fuel top-ups and also before a long trip. Vehicle running with low tyre pressure will consume more fuel than the one running with specified tyre pressure.
  • Keep the vehicle clean. Get rid of the not in use luggage/stuff lying in the boot etc.
  • Regularly inspect your vehicle for any leakages, worn out wires by rat bites etc.
  • Always follow periodic & regular service schedule of the vehicle.
  • In places with high dust content check the air filter frequently for clogging.
  • Drive smart and smooth in an anticipatory manner. Select driving mode to suit your style.
  • Do not accelerate excessively when you are in lower gears (1st or 2nd). Be gentle on the accelerator when you are in traffic. In lower gear, opening more throttle will shoot the engine RPM keeping the vehicle still at lower

speeds which indirectly implies less distance with more fuel.

  • Be in the maximum possible higher gear at a given speed. This reduces the engine operating speeds which means the engine is running at lower rpm (Revolutions per Minute) for the same vehicle speed. Lesser the number of engine revolution lesser the fuel burned.
  • Avoid harsh braking.
  • Maintain healthy driving habits & while decelerating, do coasting in gear and not in neutral or with clutch pedal depressed.
  • Consider using the AC when you really require. Consider using lower blower speeds rather than higher for cooling as at higher blower speeds it consumes more electric power which is ultimately drawn from engine by burning fuel.
  • Avoid unnecessary extra electrical loading on the vehicle.
  • Stop the engine wisely at traffic signals. Switch 'OFF' the engine at the

traffic signal only if the stoppage time is high (typically more than 30 sec).

  • While driving on highways, drive with windows closed. The more you open the windows the higher will be the resistance to the vehicle at higher speeds which will reduce the fuel efficiency.
  • Do not over speed; follow the speed limits. More the speed, higher the external resistance on the vehicle which will finally result into unnecessary consumption of fuel.

Running-in period

The more you look after the engine when it is new, the more satisfied you will be with its performance in the future.

  • You should therefore drive at varying vehicle and engine speeds for the first 1500-1800 kms.
  • Avoid heavy loads, e.g. driving at full throttle, during this period.
  • Change gear in good time, before the tachometer needle is 2/3rd of the way to the red area of the tachometer.
  • Do not manually shift to a lower gear to brake the vehicle.
  • Try to avoid depressing the accelerator pedal beyond the point of resistance.
  • Change gear judiciously.

NOTE

Avoid excessive revving up of engine rpm. Do not keep engine at idling for long duration.

Do not exceed the following road speeds during running in period

Do not allow the vehicle to remain stationary for any length of time, with selector lever in Drive/Sport/Manual mode and engine running. Always select Park or Neutral if the engine is to remain idle for a prolonged period.

Braking

The distance needed to bring the vehicle to a halt increases with the speed of the vehicle. Start applying brake anticipating the distance and slow down gradually.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

Never use the brake pedal as a foot-rest.

If you rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving, the braking system can overheat. This increases the stopping distance and can even cause the braking system to fail. There is a risk of an accident.

Never depress the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal at the same time.

If you have driven for a long time in heavy rain without braking, there may be a delayed reaction from the brakes when braking for the first time. This may also occur after the vehicle has been washed.

If brakes are wet, brake performance may become poor and unpredictable.

After driving through water or washing the underside of the vehicle, test the brakes while driving at a slow speed to see if they have maintained their normal effectiveness. If the brakes are less effective than normal, dry them by repeatedly applying the brakes while driving slowly until the brakes have regained their normal effectiveness.

Braking on downhill gradients

On long and steep gradients, you must reduce the load on the brakes by shifting early to a lower gear. This allows you to take advantage of the engine braking effect and helps avoid overheating and excessive wear of the brakes.

NOTE

Use Hill Descent Control (if equipped) function for effective braking on downhill gradients.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

Do not shift to lower gear on a slippery road surface in an attempt to increase the engine's braking effect, the drive wheels could lose their grip. There is an increased danger of skidding and accidents.

Switching OFF the engine

Turn the key to 'ACC' position to switch off the engine. Before switching off the engine, run the engine in idle condition for at least 30 seconds and then switch off. This will allow the engine oil to lubricate the turbocharger, till its speed is fully reduced and also allow the unit to cool down.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

A quick burst on the accelerator before turning off the engine serves absolutely no practical purpose, it wastes fuel and is damaging especially to turbocharged engine.

DRIVER ASSIST

Electronic Stability Program (ESP) (if equipped)

ESP monitors driving stability and traction.

If ESP detects that the vehicle is deviating from the direction desired by the driver, one or more wheels are braked to stabilize the vehicle. The engine output is also modified to keep the vehicle on the desired course within physical limits. ESP assists the driver when pulling away on wet or slippery roads. ESP can also stabilize the vehicle during braking.

ESP Operation

During ESP intervention the following actions may occur;

  • ESP indicator starts flashing.
  • A slight noise from ESP / ABS modulator may be heard, which is only the effect of brake control and indicates nothing unusual.
  • Engine may not respond to accelerator in the usual way.
    • Cruise control setting gets disabled.

WITH ESP WITHOUT ESP

WARNING

ESP is just a driving aid; it cannot enhance your vehicle's stability in all conditions and does not control your vehicle's entire braking system. It is still your responsibility to drive and corner at reasonable speeds and leave a sufficient margin of safety. Always use precautionary measures for safe driving by slowing down on curved, snowy or icy roads.

ESP and tyre sizes

If you drive your vehicle with a non-specified tyres or wheel sizes, the ESP system may not work properly. When replacing tyres, always ensure to use only recommended tyre sizes.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

In case of an ESP system failure the warning lamp will illuminate in instrument cluster. In that case please pullover the vehicle to the side of road and switch off the ignition and restart. If the fault persists, your ESP system may not be working properly, take the vehicle carefully to the nearest TATA MOTORS authorised service centre for repair.

Traction Control System (TCS)

Traction Control System helps limit wheel slip in acceleration on slippery surfaces.

Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)

VDC is an electronic control function to improve vehicle driving behavior. The VDC system can help to prevent under and oversteer by reducing engine speed and applying the brakes individually on specific wheels.

Roll over Mitigation (ROM)

Sometimes when the driver tries to avoid suddenly an obstacle or turns through a corner with high speed, the driver may lose the control and the vehicle tends to rollover.

The main feature of the Roll over Mitigation function is the detection of a rollover critical situation and to prevent the vehicle rollover. This is done by active brake interventions on selected wheels, thereby reducing the forces that cause a rollover situation.

Cornering Stability Control (CSC)

'Corner stability Control' supports/ stabilizes vehicle during partial braking on curves by reducing pressure at required inner wheel of the vehicle.

This helps to reduce probability of vehicle over steering during cornering.

Electronic Brake Pre-fill (EBP)

The Electronic Brake Prefill (EBP) function reduces the air gap of the brake pad and the brake disc. The function is triggered after a sudden release of the accelerator pedal due to an unexpected emergency brake situation. By actively pre-filling the brake-system the brake response time is reduced for an upcoming braking. This results in a shorter stopping distance.

Engine Drag Torque Control (EDTC)

While driving if the driver releases the accelerator abruptly or shifts down a gear quickly, the braking effect of the engine may cause the wheels to skid. The Engine Drag Torque Control (EDC) prevents the wheels from locking under the influence of engine braking to maintain directional stability and enhance safety.

Hill Descent Control (HDC)

(if equipped)

While driving down on a hill slope, activate the HDC feature by pressing the switch ▼ provided on the fascia.

Tata Hexa (2017) - Hill Descent Control (HDC) - 2

natural_image Silver SUV driving on a rocky mountain slope, no visible text or symbols

HDC provides a smooth and controlled hill descent by enabling the vehicle to control the speed of each wheel. The system will automatically apply the brakes to slow down to the desired vehicle speed. Cruise control +/-buttons can adjust the speed to a comfortable level. HDC will be automatically disabled once the descent is complete and vehicle is on levelled road. HDC would not be activated if the vehicle speed is above 35 kmph while driving with HDC activated, If the speed goes above 40 kmph, HDC goes into monitoring mode and will get deactivated automatically, once the speed crosses 60 kmph.

DRIVER ASSIST

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

HDC cannot take account of road, weather, traffic and tyre conditions. You are always responsible for keeping control of the vehicle and for assessing whether the downhill gradient can be managed.

Hill Hold Control (HHC) (if equipped)
Vehicle starts smoothly without rolling backwards

Hill Hold Control allows easy starting up the hill without the risk of unwanted rolling backwards. It is activated automatically when driving off up-hill on an inclined surface after the driver has released the brake pedal.

The braking pressure built-up by the driver during the stop procedure is maintained in the braking system by the HHC function. Braking pressure is released after few seconds. During the pressure hold period, the driver has enough time to press the accelerator pedal to drive off.

The braking pressure is reduced as soon as the system detects the driver's intention to drive off.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

After a short time, hill hold control will no longer brake your vehicle and it could roll away.

There is a risk of an accident and injury. Therefore, quickly move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.

Torque - On - Demand (TOD) Transfer case (if equipped)

Torque-On-Demand is used for distributing torque between the front and rear axles. According to the driving conditions this system automatically and smoothly delivers two wheel/four-wheel drive operations. In 4 x 4/Auto mode, whenever any slippage is detected in the rear wheels (on icy roads, wet surfaces, etc.) the torque is transferred to the front wheels by the TOD system.

Using TOD system (if equipped)

TOD System provides two operating positions i.e. 4 x 2 Mode and 4 x 4/Auto mode.

To activate 4 x 2 mode, press the 4 x 2 switch provided on

Tata Hexa (2017) - Using TOD system (if equipped) - 1

fascia, the LED on the switch turns ON. In this mode, the engine power is supplied to the rear wheels only.

To activate 4 x 4/Auto mode, press 4 x 2 switch again, the LED on the switch turns OFF. In this mode, the engine power is

supplied to both front and rear wheels, based on the driving conditions.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

While changing over from 4 x 2 to 4 x 4/AUTO mode or vice-versa, make sure the vehicle speed is below 80 kmph.

NOTE

When TOD is in 4 x 4/Auto mode & Ignition switch is in ON position, you will hear a slight noise from the axle connect mechanism. Similarly you will hear same noise while changing over from 4 x 2 to 4 x 4/Auto mode and vice-versa, which is normal.

Cruise Control (if equipped)

Cruise control is meant to reduce driver fatigue, especially when travelling long distances. The cruise control system allows you to program your vehicle to maintain a constant/desired speed without operating the accelerator pedal.

Use cruise control only if road and traffic conditions make it appropriate to maintain a steady speed for a prolonged period.

NOTE

If you fail to adapt suitable driving skill for cruise control, it can neither reduce the risk of an accident nor override the laws of physics. Cruise control cannot take into account the road, traffic and weather conditions. Cruise control is only an aid. You are responsible for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time and for staying in your lane.

Do not use cruise control:

• in road and traffic conditions

which do not allow you to maintain a constant speed e.g. in heavy traffic or on winding roads

  • on slippery road surfaces. Braking or accelerating could cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle could then skid
  • when there is poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or snow

If there is a change of drivers, advice the new driver of the speed stored.

Activate Cruise Control only in following gears and speeds

GearAllowable Speed Range (km/h)
1^st No cruise control
2^nd No cruise control
3^rd 30-110
4^th 40-150
5^th 50-160
6^th 60-160

  • When this stops, wash it off with plain water. Dry off the battery with a cloth or paper towel.
  • Coat the terminals with petroleum jelly to prevent future corrosion.
  • Use a proper wrench to loosen and remove cables from the terminals.
  • Always disconnect the negative (-ve) cable first and reconnect it last.
  • Clean the battery terminals with a terminal cleaning tool or wire brush.
  • Reconnect and tighten the cables, coat the terminals with petroleum jelly.
  • Ensure that the battery is securely mounted.

- If you need to connect the battery to a charger, disconnect both cables to prevent damage to the vehicle's electrical system.

For location of battery, please refer Engine Compartment section.

NOTE

During normal operation, the battery generates gas which is explosive in nature. A spark or open flame can cause the battery to explode causing very serious injuries. Keep all sparks, open flames and smoking materials away from the battery.

The battery contains sulphuric acid (electrolyte) which is poisonous and highly corrosive in nature. Getting electrolyte in your eyes or on the skin can cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing and a face shield or have a skilled technician to do the battery maintenance.

Turbocharger

The turbocharger rotor assembly is supported by two fully floating bearing bushes in the bearing housing. These bearing bushes are lubricated with finely filtered engine oil from the lubrication system 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.

NOTE

Keep engine at idling speed for at least a minute after starting and also before stopping, to protect the turbocharger against damage due to oil starvation.

MAINTENANCE

Intercooler

Hot air coming out of turbocharger flows through the intercooler and gets cooled before entering the intake manifold.

As such it does not require any maintenance however it can be cleaned externally by blowing compressed air.

Transmission Air Oil Cooler

For automatic transmission, hot oil coming out of transmission flows through transmission air oil cooler and gets cooled before entering transmission again.

As such it does not require any maintenance however it can be cleaned externally by blowing compressed air.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

While cleaning, ensure that inter-cooler and transmission air oil cooler fins are not damaged. If the fins get damaged, it could lead to lose of performance and subsequent failure.

Maintenance recommendations:

  • Check the boost pressure pipe for its proper fitment, damage etc.
  • Specified engine oil and the oil filter should be used and should be changed regularly in accordance with Service Schedule.
  • Check oil feed pipes, return pipes, air intake and exhaust piping for leakages and restrictions.
  • Check the engine breathing system and oil separator.
  • Fill the oil inlet hole of the turbocharger with clean engine oil, when the engine is started after long storage.

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 precautions 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 leaves, grass, etc., as the exhaust system is hot enough to initiate fire.

Maintenance recommendations:

Catalytic Converter should be flushed by giving full throttle (4 to 5 times) in standing condition of vehicle on daily basis. For high speed driving condition run hot 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.

Alternatively flushing operation for cleaning the catalytic converter can be done by dry compressed air draft (3 to 4 bar) directed on the honeycomb structure of catalytic converter (after removing from vehicle).

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

  • Avoid push start or tow-starting the vehicle. (Use jump leads).
  • Avoid long (not more than 10 sec.) and repeat (not more than 3 times) starting of the vehicle. Investigate the cause for difficulty in starting & rectify the same.
  • Avoid long idling (to warm-up). If the engine is running rough, after a cold start.
  • Avoid stopping the vehicle in Drive mode too long with brake pressed since it may overheat and damage transmission. Change to Neutral or Park mode at the earliest.
  • Never switch off the ignition when driving down the hill. (This will not save fuel).
  • Avoid fuel tank getting almost empty.
  • Avoid pre-coating / painting of catalytic converter.

Tyres

1 UNDER INFLATION 2 CORRECT 3 Over INFLATION

1.Under inflationExcessive side tread wear
2.Correct tyre wearUniform pressure
3.Over inflationExcessive center tread wear

Inflation

Check for inflation and condition of your vehicle tyres periodically.

Check the pressure in the tyres when they are cold.

Keeping the tyres properly inflated gives you the best combination of riding comfort, handling, tyre life and better fuel efficiency.

Over inflation of tyres makes the vehicle ride bumpy and harsh. Tyres are more prone to uneven wear and damage from road hazards.

Under inflated tyres reduce your comfort in vehicle handling and are prone to failures due to high temperature. They also cause uneven wear and more fuel consumption.

NOTE

Every time you check inflation pressure, you should also examine tyres for damage, trapping of foreign objects in the treads and wear.

MAINTENANCE

Recommended tyre pressures

The recommended tyre pressure is mentioned as a permissible range in which tyre pressure can be adjusted. The higher value is recommended for getting better fuel economy and lower value is for better ride comfort.

Regular checking of wheels & tyres

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

Damaged tyres can cause tyre inflation pressure loss. As a result, you could lose control of your vehicle. There is a risk of accident.

Check the tyres regularly for signs of damage and replace any damaged tyres immediately.

Check wheels and tyres for damage at least once a month. Check wheels and tyres after driving off-road or on rough roads. Damaged wheels can cause a loss of tyre pressure. Pay particular attention to damage such as:

• Cuts / Tears in the tyres
- Punctures
- Bulges on tyres

- Deformation or severe corrosion on wheels

Regularly check the tyre tread depth and the condition of the tread across the whole width of the tyre. If necessary, turn the front wheels to full lock in order to inspect the inner side of the tyre surface.

All wheels must have a valve cap to protect the valve against dirt and moisture. Do not mount anything onto the valve other than the standard valve cap.

Regularly check the pressure of all the tyres particularly prior to long trips. Adjust the tyre pressure as necessary.

The service life of tyres depends, among other things, on the following factors:

  • driving style
  • tyre pressure
  • distance covered
  • wheel alignment & tyre rotation (at recommended interval)

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

A flat tyre severely impairs the driving, steering and braking characteristics of the vehicle. There is a risk of accident.

NOTE

Life and wear pattern of tyres depends on various parameters like tyre pressure, wheel alignment, wheel balancing, tyre rotation, etc. It also largely depends on vehicle speed, load carried, usage, driving habits, road conditions, tyre quality, etc. to poor quality of tyres, the same may be taken up with concerned tyre manufacturer.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

If wheels and tyres of the wrong size are used, the wheel brakes or suspension components may be damaged. There is a risk of an accident.

Always replace wheels and tyres with those that fulfill the specifications of the original part.

When replacing wheels, make sure to use the correct specification as recommended.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

Insufficient tyre tread will reduce tyre traction. The tyre is no longer able to dissipate water. This means that on wet road surfaces, the risk of hydroplaning increases, in particular where speed is not adapted to suit the driving conditions. There is a risk of accident.

If the tyre pressure is too high or too low, tyres may exhibit different levels of wear at different locations on the tyre tread. Thus, you should regularly

check the tread depth and the condition of the tread across the entire width of all tyres.

Special care for tubeless tyres:

  • While removing tyre from wheel rim and mounting it back on wheel rim, take precautions not to damage tyre bead. Use tyre removal and assembly machines. Damage or cut on tyre bead may cause gradual loss of air and deflation of tyre.
  • Do not scratch inside of tubeless tyre with metallic or sharp object. Tubeless tyres are coated with impermeable layer of rubber from inside which holds the air inside the tyre. Removal of this layer due to scratching may sscause gradual loss of air and deflation.
  • If wheel rim gets damaged in service, get the wheel rim repaired/ replaced immediately. Running the vehicle with damaged rim may cause deflation of tyre and subsequent dislodging of tyre from rim.

MAINTENANCE

- Maintain recommended inflation pressure. Over-inflation, in particular, may cause puncture or bursting of tyre.

Tyre rotation

To help increase tyre life and distribute wear more evenly you should have tyres rotated at specified intervals or earlier depending on the operation of vehicle.

Fuel Specification

Fuel

High Speed diesel conforming to IS1460 or EN 590 or equivalent is recommended to be used as fuel.

At very low temperature, fluidity of diesel may become insufficient due to paraffin separation. It is therefore necessary to mix supplementary fuel with summer or winter grade diesel. The supplementary fuel to be used is kerosene or aviation turbine fuel.

Ratio for mixing of supplementary fuel and diesel are shown in the table.

Ambient Temperature in °CPercentage
Summer grade dieselSupplementary fuel
Up to 01000

VEHICLE CARE

Vehicle Care

Your vehicle is subjected to many external influences such as climate, road conditions, 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 chippings should be removed as soon as possible.

Washing

Follow these tips while washing your vehicle.

Hand wash:

  1. Always wash your vehicle in shade.
  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 contaminants like tar, use turpentine or

cleaners like 'Stain remover' which are safe for paint surfaces.

  1. Avoid substances like petrol, diesel, kerosene, benzene, thinner or other solvents that cause damage to paint.
  2. Dry your vehicle thoroughly to prevent any damp spots.
  3. Rinse all surfaces thoroughly to prevent any traces of soap and other cleaners as this may lead to the formation of stains on the painted surface later.

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

Do not direct high pressure washer fluid/ water jets (Pressure above 0.5 Bar) at electrical devices and connector during 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 necessary.

NOTE

Avoid wiping of painted surface in dry condition as it may leave scratches on the painted surface.

Cleaning of Carpets

Vacuum clean the carpet regularly to remove 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.

Cleaning of Windows, Front and Rear Glasses

Clean the windows inside and outside with commercially available glass cleaners.

This will remove the haze that builds up on the inside of windows. Use a soft cloth or paper towels to clean all glass and plastic surfaces.

RFID TAG is pasted on front windshield from the inside. It enables Electronic toll collection.

TATA DO NOT TRY TO PEEL OFF RFID TAG IT WILL BE PERMANENTLY DAMAGED.

NOTE

Do not attempt to rip or tamper the tag. It will disable the functionality of the tag.

Waxing

Waxing and polishing is recommended to maintain the gloss and wet-look appearance of your paint finish.

  1. Use good quality polish and wax for your vehicle.
  2. Re-wax your vehicle when the water does not slip off the surface but collects over the surface in patches.

Polishing

Polishes and cleaners can restore shine to the painted surface that has oxidized and become dull. They normally contain mild abrasives and solvents that remove the top layer of the finish coat. Polish your vehicle, if the finish does not regain its original shine after using wax.

Interior fabric cleaning tips

  1. Stains should be treated immediately. If left for a long time, they can leave a permanent mark.
  2. Cleaning the stains immediately is important especially for stains which contain artificial colors in the stain creating liquid or semisolid substance. The colorant may leave a stain if kept for longer time.
  3. Stain should not be removed by rubbing. As far as possible, try to blot or lift the stain with cloth or plastic spatula and then clean the remaining stain with cloth or sponge.
  4. If the stain has dried, then gently brush off the material and then press with damp cloth or sponge till it disappears.

  5. Do not use household detergents to clean the fabric.

  6. Always use clean cotton cloth for cleaning.

Paint Care

Following guidelines will help you to protect your Vehicle from corrosion effectively.

Proper cleaning

In order to protect your vehicle from corrosion it is recommended that you wash your vehicle thoroughly and frequently in case:

  • There is a heavy accumulation of dirt and mud especially on the underbody.
  • It is driven in areas having high atmospheric pollution due to smoke, soot, dust, iron dust and other chemical pollutants.
  • It is driven in coastal areas.
  • The underbody must be thoroughly pressure washed after every three months.

VEHICLE CARE

In addition to regularly washing your car, the following precautions need to be taken.

Periodic Inspection

  • Regularly inspect your vehicle for any damage in the paint film such as deep scratches and immediately get them repaired from an authorized service outlet, as these defects tend to accelerate corrosion.
  • Inspect mud liners for damages.
  • Keep all drain holes clear from clogging.

Proper Parking

- Always park your vehicle in shade to protect it from harsh sunlight or in a well-ventilated garage so that there is no dampness on any part of the vehicle.

Wiper care

Wiper blade attack angle on windshield glass should be 90° i.e. perpendicular.

Remove wiper blade and root wiper arm on windshield glass in the center position. Check the gap between arm strip and glass.

FOR CHATTERING and NOISY PROBLEMS
Windshield Glass OK NOT OK

WARNING

Tata Hexa (2017) - WARNING - 1

ENVIRONMENT SAFETY

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 vehicle 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 each gear upto 2/3rd of its maximum engine speed.

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.

  • Get your vehicle checked for emission periodically by an authorised dealer.
  • Ensure that fuel filter, oil filter and breather are checked periodically and replaced, if required, as recommended by TATA MOTORS.

    • EGR system and components
    • Electrical connections
  • If the 'Check Engine' and 'MIL' lamp continuously glows, please take the vehicle to a TATA MOTORS authorized service outlet.
  • EMS wiring harness i.e. electrical connections to all sensors and actuators.
