01 SAFETY
SEAT BELTS:
Seat-belt is a safety device designed
to secure the occupant of the vehicle.
Use of seat-belt reduces the chance
of injury and severity of injury in case
of an accident. TATA MOTORS
strongly recommends that all the
occupants should always wear seat-
belts while travelling, irrespective of
journey duration.
Your vehicle is equipped with seat
belts, for front and rear seats as a part
of occupant restraint system.
WARNING
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is
seated and using a seat belt
properly.
In normal driving, the belt lets you
move freely in your seat. In case of an
accident or sudden braking, inertia reel
automatically tightens the belt to help
restrain your body.
10
This vehicle has front and rear seat
belts in the out board positions and a
lap belt for middle passenger on rear
seat. The lap belt has a manually ad-
justed belt that fits across the hip bone.
Make sure that your seat is adjusted
to a good driving position and the back
of the seat is upright.
Importance of Wearing Seat Belt :
1. It will help to keep you in the proper
position when the air bag inflates.
2. Reduces the risk of harm in rollover,
side or rear impact collisions
3. Reduces the risk of harm in
frontal/angular collisions that are
not enough to activate the air bag.
4. Reduces the risk of being thrown
inside the vehicle in case of a
collision.
SEAT BELTS
NOTE
Do not bleach or dye seat belts as
this may severely weaken them. In
a crash they may not be able to
provide adequate protection. Clean-
ing should be carried out using mild
soap and water only.
WARNING
Make sure that the seat belts are
not twisted which can cause injury
in a collision as the full width of the
belt isn’t available to absorb the
impact. This puts more force on the
bones beneath the belt, which could
cause serious injury.
The maximum protection which seat
belts can offer is only achieved if you
are correctly seated. The seat back
should not be tilted too far back.
SEAT BELTS
How to use seat belts: 1. Pull the belt tongue across your
body and insert it into the buckle.
2. Check and ensure that the belt is
not twisted.
3. Position the lap portion of the belt
as low as possible across your hip
bone.
4. Pull up the shoulder part of the belt
to remove the slack. Make sure that
LATCH the belt goes over your collar bones
and across chest.
5. To unlatch the belt, press the red
button on the buckle. Guide the belt
to the pillar as it retracts.
UNLATCH

SAFETY
01
WARNING
1. The belts are intended for adult
occupants only.
2. Each belt should be used by one
occupant only. The belt must not
be put round a child, seated on
passengers lap.
3. Use approved child restraint
system for children
4. If the belt was in use in a serious
accident or shows signs of severe
fraying / damage or of having been
cut, replace it with an approved
belt kit.
5. The belt must not be altered or
modified during use and if required
to be replaced, then it should be
replaced, by TATA MOTORS
Authorized Service Centre only.
11
01 SAFETY
Lap belt:
Pull the belt tongue to the desired
length. Insert it into the buckle until
you hear a click.
Adjust the belt length. To lengthen the
belt, hold the tongue at a right angle
to the webbing and pull. To shorten,
pull the loose end of the webbing. To
unfasten, depress the button in the
buckle.
WARNING
Positioning the lap portion of the
Seat Belt too high can be danger-
ous as in a collision; this would
concentrate the impact force directly
on the abdominal area, causing
serious injury. Wear the lap portion
of the belt snugly and as low as
possible.
12
SEAT BELTS
Pregnant Woman:
A pregnant woman should wear a Lap-
shoulder belt and the lap portion should
be worn as low as possible, below the
womb, throughout the pregnancy.
When a safety belt is worn properly, it
is more likely that the foetus will not
be hurt in a crash. Pregnant women
should wear the lap part of the belt
across the thighs and as snug across
the hips as possible. Keep the belt low
so that it does not come across the
abdomen. By doing this, the strong
structure of the hips will take the force
if there is a collision.

03 INSTRUMENTS & CONTROLS
For checking correct fuel level,
always take following precautions:
1. Always check the fuel level when
the vehicle is on level road.
2. On inclines, curves, braking and
sudden acceleration due to the
movement of fuel in the tank, the
fuel level display may fluctuate or
the low fuel warning lamp may
illuminate earlier than usual.
3. When the ignition switch is in the
‘ON’ position, this gauge gives an
approximate indication of the
amount of fuel in the fuel tank and
it takes few seconds to stabilize
after the ignition is turned ON. ‘F’
stands for full and ‘E’ stands for
empty.
4. Do not continue adding fuel after
the automatic shut ‘OFF’ function
is operated if it is equipped on the
fuel station. The sensor in the fuel
tank may misjudge the amount of
fuel remaining.

Severe strain on the brake system:
The brakes will be subject to severe
strain when driving in mountains or
hilly areas, or when towing. Vehicle
speed is usually slower, which means
that the cooling of the brakes is less
efficient than when driving on level
roads. To reduce the strain on the
brakes, shift into a lower gear and let
the engine help with the braking. Do
not forget that, if you are towing, the
brakes will be subjected to a greater
than normal load.
WARNING
If you shift gear down on a slippery
road surface in an attempt to
increase the engine's braking effect,
the wheels could lose their grip. This
may lead to increased danger of
skidding and accidents. Do not shift
down for additional engine braking
on a slippery road surface.
STOPPING THE ENGINE & VEHICLE PARKING
STOPPING 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
A quick burst on the accelelerator
before turning off the engine serves
absolutely no practical purpose, it
wastes fuel and is damaging
especially to turbocharged engine.
The above precautions will ensure
satisfactory life and performance from
the turbocharger, till its speed is fully
reduced and also allow the unit to cool
down.
WARNING
Do not switch the engine off when it
is running at high speed. If you do,
the turbocharger will continue
running after the engine oil pressure
has dropped to zero. This will lead
to premature turbocharger bearing
wear.
NOTE
If the engine fails to start, try to
restart the engine after few minutes.
Continuous cranking will cause
damage to the starter motor. If the
engine fails to start, Contact TATA
MOTORS Authorized Service
Centre.

Special care for tubeless tyres :
1. While removing tyre from wheel rim
and mounting it back on wheel rim,
take precautions not to damage

assembly machines. Damage or
cut on tyre bead may cause
gradual loss of air and deflation of
tyre.
2. 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 cause gradual
loss of air and deflation.

10 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 :
Following these tips while
washing your vehicle.
HAND WASH :
1. Always wash your vehicle in
shade and the surface is at room
temperature.
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.
116
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.
5. Avoid substances like petrol,
diesel, kerosene, benzene,
thinner or other solvents that
cause damage to paint.
6. Dry your vehicle thoroughly to
prevent any damp spots.
7. 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
Do not direct high pressure washer
fluid/ water jets (Pressure above 0.5
VEHICLE CARE & WASHING
Bar) at electrical devices and
connecter during wasing. This is to
prevent malfunction / failure of
electrical systemdue 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.
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.
WAXING & POLISHING
NOTE
Avoid wiping of painted surface in
dry condition as it may leave
scratches on the painted surface.
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.
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
oxidised 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.
VEHICLE CARE
10
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.
117
10 VEHICLE CARE
PAINT CARE :
FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WILL

vehicle, the following precautions
need to be taken.
118
PERIODIC INSPECTION :
• Regularly inspect your vehicle for
any damage in the paint film such
as deep scratches and
immediately get them repaired
from an authorised 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.
PAINT CARE & WIPER CARE
WIPER CARE :
Wiper blade attack angle on windshield
glass should be 900 i.e. perpendicu-
lar.
Remove wiper blade and root wiper arm
on windshield glass in the centre
position. Check the gap between arm
strip and glass.
FOR CHATTERING and NOISY PROBLEMS
Windshield
Glass
VEHICLE PARKING FOR LONG DURATION
VEHICLE PARKING AT ONE PLACE
FOR LONG DURATION ( Non use
maintenances) :
If you want to park your vehicle at
one place for long duration,

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.
122
 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 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.
