ENVIRONMENT AL PROTECTION

TATA MOTORS is committed to produce vehicles using environmentally sustainable technology. A number of features have been incorporated in Tata Motors Passenger Car 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 stage of manufacturing.

As a user, you too can protect the environment by operating your vehicle in a pro-active manner. A lot depends on your driving style and the way you maintain your vehicle. We are giving below a few tips for your guidance.

Driving

  • Avoid frequent and violent accelerations.
  • Do not carry any unnecessary weight on the vehicle as it

overloads the engine. Avoid using devices requiring high power consumption during slow traffic condition.

  • Monitor the cars fuel consumption regularly and if it shows a rising trend, get the car immediately attended at our Authorised Service Centre.
  • Switch off the engine during long stops at traffic jams or signals. If the situation demands that engine be kept running, avoid frequent revving up of the engine. Also avoid frequent stopping and restarting, if uncalled for.
  • 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 possible. Use each gear upto 2/3rd of its maximum engine speed. A chart indicating gear shifting speed is given in this book.

Maintenance of the vehicle

  • Ensure that recommended maintenance is carried out on the vehicle regularly at our Authorised Service Outlets.
  • As soon as you see any leakages of oil or fuel in the car, get it attended immediately.
  • Use only recommended brands and grades of lubricants and clean uncontaminated fuels.
  • Get your vehicle checked for emission periodically by authorised dealer and regularly renew the P.U.C. certificate.
  • Ensure that fuel filter, oil filter and breathers are periodically checked and if required, replace the same by only genuine Tata Motor's recommended brands.
  • Do not pour used oils or coolants into the sewage drains, garden soil or open streams. Dispose the used

filters and batteries in compliance with the current legislation.

  • Do not allow any unauthorised person to tamper with engine settings or to carry modifications on the vehicle.
  • Never allow the vehicle to run out of fuel.
  • Parts like brake liners, clutch disc should be vacuum cleaned. Do not use the compressed air for cleaning these parts which may spread the dust in the atmosphere.

While carrying out the servicing or repairs on your vehicle, you should pay keen attention to some of the important aggregates, which greatly affect emission. These components are :

  1. Fuel injection pump, Injectors/Nozzles
  2. Air intake & Exhaust system especially for leakages

  3. Cylinder head for valve leakage

  4. All filters such as air, oil and fuel filters (check periodically)
  5. Turbocharger and intercooler (if fitted)
  6. Catalytic converter (if fitted)
  7. EGR System and components
  8. Electrical Connections for EGR

This Owner's Manual contains further information on driving precautions and maintenance care leading to environment protection. Please familiarise yourself with these aspects before driving.

  2. Turbocharger mounting

  3. Turbocharger hose connections and its mountings

  4. Check intercooler fins for any dust accumulations and clean by compressed air at every 20,000 km. (if fitted)

  5. It is advisable to run the engine at idle speed for about one minute, after starting and before stopping the engine. This ensures adequate lubricating oil supply to the turbocharger.

HANDLING POWER STEERING

POWER STEERING (When provided)

Power steering is fitted for lighter steering effort and easy manoeuvrability. The system consists of steering gear box, hydraulic pump and hydraulic reservoir suitably mounted and connected by piping. Pump drive is through belt from engine. Power assistance is available during normal functioning of the power steering system.

In case of any failure in hydraulic system, the steering can be operated mechanically with increased steering effort for bringing the vehicle to a repair station.

Procedure for oil filling and bleeding the power steering system. (Ensure that the reservoir is totally cleaned before starting the work.)

  1. Fill the reservoir nearly full. Crank the engine for 10 seconds without, if possible, allowing it to start. If the engine does start, shut off immediately. Check and refill the reservoir. Repeat atleast three times, each time checking and refilling the reservoir.
  2. Check for any leakage in the system and if noticed take corrective action.
  3. Start the engine and steer the vehicle from full left to full right turn 3-4 times. Add fluid if necessary to maintain the level up to the filter top.

  4. With the engine at steady speed check for bubble / foaming in the fluid. If present it indicates that air is getting sucked into the system.
    Check the suction line / fittings and correct if necessary.

  5. Once the system is bled properly and free from foaming, there should not be appreciable change in fluid level in the reservoir, when the engine is started / stop repeatedly. Top up or remove excess fluid so that the final level is at 'H' mark on dipstick.

  • Retighten wheel nuts to 12-15 mkg. torque after first 100 km of running of a new vehicle and after every wheel change.

DRIVING INSTRUCTION DRIVING TIPS, BRAKING & FUEL ECONOMY

DRIVING TIPS

DRIVE SAFELY AND JUDICIOUSLY. REMEMBER SAFETY FIRST.

  • Depress clutch pedal fully before shifting gears. This will ensure longer synchro cone life.
  • For smooth starting of vehicle without jerks, synchronise release of clutch pedal with pressing of accelerator pedal.
  • Start the vehicle in first gear only.
  • Change gear at appropriate speed and do not lug the engine by too early shifting to higher gear at low speeds.

Recommended speeds for gear changes :

Gear Speed in km/hr.
1st to 2nd 20
2nd to 3rd 35
3rd to 4th 60
4th to 5th 80
  • Engage reverse gear, only when vehicle is stationary.
  • Depress clutch pedal fully before engaging the reverse gear. Wait for a few seconds then engage the gear. If gear shifting does not occur, then release the clutch pedal, once again press the clutch pedal and engage the reverse gear.

BRAKING :

  • While braking on turns apply brakes gently.
  • Before driving down a long steep gradient, reduce vehicle speed by changing to lower gear.
    Do not ride the brakes as they may overheat and their performance may be impaired.
  • Do not use half engaged clutch to hold the vehicle on up gradient as this will result in premature clutch failure.
    • After driving through pockets of water, apply the brake a few

timesat low speed to get rid of moisture inside the brake drums.

- When it beings to rain, reduce vehicle speed and avoid sudden braking.

FUEL ECONOMY :

A. Drive smoothly, accelerate gradually and anticipate stops.
B. Best fuel consumption is obtained at low engine speeds in the highest possible gear without labouring the engine.
C. Driving with accelerator pedal fully depressed means using excessive fuel.
D. Do not allow the engine labour by too early high gear changes. Change to lower gear when engine no longer runs smoothly.
E. If possible, do not idle the engine for more than 5 minutes. Switch off the engine.

F. Do not ride the clutch. Do not use clutch pedal as foot rest.

G. Depending on traffic conditions, a constant speed should be maintained.

The vehicle uses more fuel, every time you speed up or slow down.

H. Hard braking, abrupt cornering and rapid acceleration use more fuel. Avoid these.

DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITION: Driving on Snowy or Icy Roads :

Select the lower gear. Gently release the clutch and apply the accelerator for a smooth start and to avoid wheel spin.

CAUTION

Use of snow tyres and / or tyre chain is recommended.

Maintain a safe distance between vehicles to avoid sudden braking and slow down by shifting down the gears.

Avoid sudden acceleration, braking or turning. Such sharp manoeuvres can cause loss of traction and thereby loss of vehicle control.

Driving on Sandy or Muddy Roads

The extent of muddy / sandy, conditions and the traction available is difficult to judge and the vehicle can get bogged down deeply. Operation should be done at slow speed only. If possible, get down and check the path conditions before proceeding.

In case the traction on the wheels is sufficient, you may be able to proceed, it is better to select the lower gear and proceed in the normal manner. To match your power and speed requirements, you can shift up in any of the 5 forward gears or the reverse gear.

NOTICE

You may choose to reduce the tyre pressure marginally for additional grip on loose surfaces, though with a slight loss of ground clearance.

  • Try to maintain a constant engine speed and avoid sudden acceleration which can cause wheel spin and loss of traction, possibly leading to bogging down of the vehicle.
  • If the vehicle gets stuck in loose sand, do not keep on accelerating as the wheel spin will only result in the wheels sinking deeper.

  • Never venture to drive through water when it flows over guard stones.
    • Engine may get seriously damaged if attempted to cross over through deep water.
  • If at all the situation demands that you have to drive through water then;

  • Keep engine in fast idling and crawl the vehicle in low gear.

  • After driving through water apply brakes several times to dry

braking.

Do not attempt to start the engine if vehicle gets flooded due to water.

  • Tow the vehicle to a safe place.
    • Take the vehicle to nearest AUTHORISED Workshop to check entry of water in cylinders.
  • It will also be necessary to replace lubricants of engine, gearbox, transfer case, front axle and rear axle if water has entered.
  • Get the starter and alternator checked.

  • Dip the head lamp for oncoming traffic during night driving.
  • Maintain a speed such that you can stop within illuminated distance of head lamps.
  • Use head lamp main/dip beam to alert other road users on turns/cross roads etc.
  • Use side indicators for lane change or turning.
  • Put on hazard warning switch in case of hazardous parking or if your vehicle is disabled to warn the passing traffic.

Tata Sumo - Night Driving Climbing Sharp Gradients - 2

natural_image Side view of a black SUV on a paved surface (no visible text or symbols)
  • Select the lower gear and start off smoothly. Apply power gently so there is no loss of traction by over-revving of the engine.
  • Choose as smooth a slope as possible and select the appropriate gear so that gear changing in the middle of the climb is not required. Changing gears in the middle of the climb can cause loss of momentum and engine stalling. Shifting to lower gear has to be done cautiously to avoid loss of traction.

  • Under no conditions should the vehicle be moved diagonally across a hill. The danger is in loss of traction and sideways slippage, possibly resulting in tipping over. If unavoidable, choose as mild an angle as possible and keep the vehicle moving.

  • If the wheels start to slip within few feet of the end of the climb, motion can be maintained by swinging the steered wheels left and right, thereby providing increased grip.
  • If the vehicle stalls or losses headway while climbing a steep hill, make a quick shift to reverse and allow the vehicle to move back with the control of engine compression.

  • Select the lower gear and depending on the severity of the gradient, shift into appropriate gear. Use engine braking judiciously without over-revving the engine.
  • Brake application under such situations should be done very smoothly to avoid loss of control.
  • Select appropriate gear so that gear changing or clutch disengagement is not involved while descending the gradient.

Towing the Vehicle

  • For towing the vehicle, the best way is to use a recovery van.
    • Alternatively use a rigid tow bar.
  • Avoid using flexible cable or rope as your vehicle may crash into towing vehicle when it stops suddenly.
  • Switch 'ON' Hazard warning switch to warn the other road users.
  • Keep the engine in idling so that power steering assistance is available. This will also built the vacuum for the brakes.
    • In case of brake failure, use parking brake to control the vehicle.

Prevention of rust formation :

Use genuine co-branded premixed coolant in the cooling system to prevent rust formation and freezing of coolant inside the crankcase passages.

Fill the engine coolant auxiliary tank upto 'FULL' mark.

Changing of coolant in the cooling system :

a. Drain the cooling system and flush it with clean water.
b. Pour the genuine co-branded coolant into the radiator until it is full.
c. Start the engine. Top up the radiator with coolant.
d. Fill the auxiliary tank upto 'FULL' mark.
e. Ensure no leakage in the system.

For Engine Coolant Tank location, please refer respective Engine Compartment pages (Page 73 & 74)

Brake system

The dual circuit service brake system operated through the tandem master cylinder is designed such that one circuit will continue to provide braking action if the other circuit fails. This vehicle is fitted with disc brakes at front and drum brakes at rear.

Stopping the vehicle after loss of the brake fluid in one circuit will require more pedal pressure and pedal travel than normal. Also stopping distance will be longer.

Service brakes are vacuum assisted. In case of failure of vacuum, the vehicle can still be stooped, however with a higher effort.

Wheels and tyres

Always use only recommended size wheel rims and tyres. Use of rims and tyres not recommended by us may have adverse effect on vehicle safety and further more could infringe on motor vehicle regulations.

Wheel change

When changing wheels use the jack provided with the vehicle.

Jack should be placed below chassis long member behind front wheel for changing front tyres and before rear wheel as shown.

Wheel alignment

If uneven tyre wear is noticed, get the vehicle examine and

attended by TATA MOTORS authorised workshop. Periodically check and maintain correct tyre pressure to obtain longer tyre life.

Front /Rear32 psi 35 psi

Check tyres for damage from time to time and remove any foreign bodies (nails/stones, metal chips etc.) embedded in treads.

While fitting wheels on the vehicle make sure that wheel bolts are free from dust, scratches, dirt, dents, etc.

Do not oil wheel bolts and nuts. Wipe off any adhering oil on bolts/nuts

Tightening torque of wheel nuts :12-15 mkg. Retighten wheel nuts after 100 km of every wheel change.

New tyres do not give maximum grip straightway and should therefore be run-in at moderate speed for the first 100 km. This will help to make the tyres last long.

To avoid damage to tyres and wheels, drive slowly over speed breakers / bumps / rough roads.

Wheel balancing

Wheels of your vehicle are balanced. The same should be maintained when repairing a tyre or tube and replacing the tyre or rim.

Repairing a tyre / tube

Mark suitably the tyre position (If original colour dot mark is not visible) with respect to valve stem hole to ensure that tyre is refitted in original location. Ensure that the balancing

weights are not disturbed during removal of tyres. Check the balance weight prior to removal of tyre, if found loose, mark its location on the rim and refit properly.

Replacing a tyre / rim.

When the tyre or rim is changed the wheel should be properly balanced on a machine after inflating to the specified value as per the following norms.

  1. Permissible imbalance for tyre with rim = 250 gm-cm max.
  2. Permissible balance weight for tyre with rim = 140 gm max.
  3. Relocate the tyre if the weight required to balance is more than 140 gm.
  4. Balance weights are available from 10 gm to 90 gm in steps of 10 gm and from 80 to 140 gm in steps of 20 gm.
  5. Do not use more than one balance weight on side.

Tyre rotation

Tyre rotation is recommended for achieving identical wear on each tyre. It is also advisable to change rotating direction to relieve tyres of continual one way rotation. Regular rotation of tyres also will prevent abnormal wear. The sketch indicates a suggested sequence of tyre rotation. Rotate tyres first at 12,000 km. then at every 8,000 km. or earlier depending on operation.

Headlamps

The head lamp provides two types of light beams; a high beam to give maximum light well ahead of vehicle, and a low beam which is shorter and lower so that it will not dazzle the oncoming drivers and can be use in low visibility area.

The head lamp also incorporates a parking lights.

The head lamps must be properly aligned in order to obtain maximum road safety, proper road illumination and reduced glare to oncoming traffic.

It is recommended to check alignment of headlamp beams periodically and whenever headlamp bulbs are replaced, by means of a headlamp aligner or with the help of a screen as shown in figure on the following page.

Adjusting head lamps focus with the help of screen

The vehicle should be parked 10 meters away from screen with its centre in line with central vertical line on screen, and screen at right angle to longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The vehicle should be in unloaded condition with no sag in suspension springs and all tyres equally inflated.

On the marked up screen as shown in figure, area above horizontal and inclined lines (shaded) is called 'Dark zone' and the area below it is called 'The illuminated zone'.

Each headlamp is aligned individually by masking the other headlamp. Headlamp is first adjusted for proper height of low beam by adjusting knob at its top. Light from low beam should fall below horizontal and inclined lines.

No light should fall above these lines i.e. in 'Dark zone'. Thereafter lateral adjustment is done by adjusting knob at bottom of headlamp so that contour of low beam coincides with contour formed by horizontal and inclined lines below 'Dark zone'.

When properly adjusted, most brightly illuminated area will be just below the intersection point 'A' of these two lines.

The Second head lamp is adjusted in a similar manner without disturbing the position of the vehicle and the screen. Now switch 'ON' high beam. They will be symmetrical above points. 'A' and 'B' of intersection of vehicle lines and horizontal lines. It is possible that high beams may not be exactly symmetrical but for this reason headlamps should not be realigned.

Preferably, the alignment should be done in the dark.

No masking of headlamps with black paint is required. If done, this will reduce the intensity of light.

Head lamp focusing should be carried out in the level 'O' position (where head lamp leveling switch provided) of the switch only.

Head lamp bulb replacement

Raise the bonnet of the vehicle. Remove the rear protective cover. Pull out cable socket from bulb. Remove lock ring holding the bulb and remove the bulb.

Install new bulb, properly locating it in the housing. Fit back locking ring, cable socket and protective cover.

Realign headlamp beam after replacing bulb.

Do not clean the reflector as it will cause damage to mirror - finished surface. Do not replace bulb with dirty or oily hands, since oil will evaporate due to bulb heat and stain the reflector.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE CARE & CLEANING OF VEHICLE

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.

Cleaning exterior of the vehicle

Dirt or any other foreign material on the painted surface may result in :

  • Faded paint.
  • Rust on body due to deteriorated paint film.
  • Rust due to scratches
  • Body rust due to contact with damp dirt trapped in the body.

Therefore it is important that your vehicle is always kept clean and free from dirt in order to maintain the paint in a good condition and to protect the entire body against corrosion.

Washing :

When washing the vehicle, follow the instructions given below.

- Flush underside of body and wheel housing with pressurised water to remove mud and debris. Use plenty of water to loosen and remove dirt.

  • Remove dirt and mud from body exterior with running water. Use a soft sponge, brush with water. Do not use hard material which can scratch the paint.
  • Wash the exterior with water, lightly rubbing with sponge or soft cloth. The sponge or cloth should frequently soaked in water.

CAUTION

When using commercial wash products precautions specified by the manufacturer should be observed. Do not use strong household detergents or soaps.

  • Once dirt has been completely removed, wash off with running hose water.
  • After rinsing, wipe the body lightly with wet chamois or cloth and allow the body to dry it in the shade.

Warning

After washing, check that the brakes are dry. If brakes are not dry, dry them by gently, repeatedly applying while driving at low speeds.

Washing the vehicle exterior

After washing the vehicle, waxing and polishing are recommended to protect and beautify the paint.

- Use only good quality waxes and polishes.

  • When using waxes and polishes, the precautions specified by the manufacturers should be observed.
  • Chrome plated parts should also be waxed.

Protection against corrosion :

The following cause corrosion :

  • Moisture trapped in body cavities.
  • Dirt and salts collected in hollows on the underside of the vehicle.
  • Removal of paint and protective coatings from the exterior and underside of the vehicle.

Corrosion preventive measures have been incorporated in your vehicle. You can avoid corrosion of your vehicle by performing some simple periodic maintenance :

  • Repair chips and scratches in the paint as soon as you discover them.
  • Inspect and clean the drain holes in the bottom of the doors and body.
  • Check the floor coverings for dampness. Carpets and floor mats remain damp for a long time, especially in winter. This can eventually cause the floor panels to corrode.
  • Use a high pressure spray to clean the underside of your vehicle. This is especially important in areas near chemical and other industries.

- Have corrosion preventive coatings done on the underside of your vehicle using Tata Motors co-branded anti corrosive treatment.

FUEL, LUBRICANTS & COOLANTS FUEL

Fuel : High speed diesel conforming to IS 1460 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.

Ratios for mixing of supplementary fuel and diesel are shown in table :

Ambient Percentemperature upto ^ grade dpercentage
Summer Supple diesel fuelmentary
upto 0 ^ 100 0
0 ^ to -10 ^ 70

Ambient Percentemperature upto ^ grade dpercentage
Winter Supple diesel fuelmentary
upto -15 ^ 100 0
-15 ^ to -20 ^ 70
-20 ^ and Below5050

Care should be taken that diesel and supplementary fuel are thoroughly mixed before filling.

WARNING

Do not mix gasoline OR alcohol with diesel. This mixture can cause explosion.

NOTICE

Where oxidation catalytic converter is fitted. It is mandatory to use Diesel fuel with sulphur contents as under. Use of any other diesel fuel can increase the pollutants.

Sulphur Content : 0.035% (BS-IV) / 0.05% (BS-III)

CAUTION

Due to precise tolerance of diesel injection systems. It is extremely important that the fuel be kept clean and free of dirt or water. Dirt or water in the system can cause severe damage to Common Rail system

Do not add fuel additives with diesel.

Use low sulphur content fuel having a cloud point that is at least 10 degree below the lowest expected fuel temperature at which wax crystals begin to form in diesel.

Viscosity of the fuel must be kept above 1.0 centistokes to provide adequate fuel system lubrication at 40^ C.

Lubricants
