Taking care of the Environment
Tata Motors is committed to producing cars using
environmental friendly technology. A number of features
have been incorporated in our passenger cars which are
specifically designed to ensure environmental compatibility
throughout the life cycle of the car. We would like to inform
you that your car meets Emission norms and is being
regularly validated at the manufacturing stages to keep up
with the stringent emission norms.
As a user you too can protect the environment by operating
your car in a proactive manner. A lot depends on your
driving style and the way you maintain your car. Listed
below are few tips that will help you do so.
WHILE DRIVING :
¾
Avoid frequent and violent acceleration.
¾
Do not carry any unnecessary weight on the vehicle
as it overloads the engine.
¾
Avoid using devices requiring high power consumption
during slow traffic condition.
¾
It is not advisable to warm up the engine during the
first start of the day by idling, as cold temperatures
within the engine could cause rise in the emission
such as CO & HC particulate.
¾
Monitor the car’s fuel consumption regularly. If it shows
a rising trend get the car immediately attended to at
the TATA MOTORS Authorised Service Centre.
¾
Switch off the engine during long stops at traffic jams
or signals. If you need to keep the engine running,
avoid unnecessarily revving or stopping and starting.
¾
Use only unleaded fuel in petrol cars.
¾
It is not necessary to rev up the engine before turning
it off as it unnecessarily burns the fuel.
¾
For petrol cars switch off the ignition only when engine
is at idling and when the vehicle is stationary, not when
the vehicle is running.
¾
Shift to higher gears as soon as it is possible. Use
each gear upto 2/3
rd
of it’s maximum engine speed. A
chart indicating gear shifting speeds is given in this
book.
MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR :
¾
Ensure that recommended maintenance is carried out
on the car regularly at the TATA MOTORS Authorised
Service Outlets.
