FUEL ECONOMY DRIVING

FRIENDLY TIPS TO IMPROVE FUELECONOMY :

Your vehicle's fuel economy is mainlydependent on your style of driving.To operate your vehicle aseconomically as possible, adhere tofollowing driving suggestions.

Avoid Excessive Idling :

Shut Off the engine if you have towait for more than a minute while youare in traffic.

Avoid fast starts and unnecessarystops :

Start off slowly from traffic lights orstop signs to prevent increased fuelconsumption and shortening ofengine life. Avoid unnecessarydeceleration (stopping or slowingdown) and then acceleration whichuses more fuel.

Always maintain clean air-filter:

The amount of air supplied willreduce due to clogged air-filter,resulting in loss of power and fueleconomy.

Maintain correct tyre pressures:

Under-inflated tyres result inincreased running resistance of thetyres, leading to wastage of fuel.(Refer tyre maintenance section)

Proper Driving Practices :

Keep a safe distance from othervehicles to avoid braking suddenly.

NOTICEDo not rest your foot on the clutchpedal. It does not allow full enginepower to be transmitted to thevehicle and reduces clutch life.

Fuel economy speeds :

Always adhere to following fueleconomy speeds.

Gear Speed (kmph)

1st 102nd 20 - 303rd 30 - 504th 50 - 70

FUEL CUT-IN / CUT-OFFSTRATEGY :

The ECU has been programmed tolimit the speed of the vehicle to 35 km/h in 1st gear, 60 km/h in 2nd gear, 90km/h in 3rd gear and 105 km/h in 4th

gear. As a good driving practice,always shift to a higher gear beforereaching the speed limit specified forthat gear. In case the gear is not shiftedand you continue to drive in the samegear beyond the specified speed, theECU will activate the fuel cut-offstrategy and restrict vehicle speed tothe specified limit. This is to ensureoptimum fuel efficiency and prolongedengine life.

DRIVINGGEAR SHIFTING, BRAKING & PARKING

WARNINGDo not leave the key inside thecar.Do not leave children unattendedin the car.Avoid parking the car overinflammable materials, such asdry leaves, grass etc., as theexhaust system is hot enough toinitiate ‘FIRE’.

NOTICEWhen parking on a steep slope,do not rely on the parking brakealone to hold the vehicle. Leavethe vehicle parked with gear boxin low forward gear when facinguphill and reverse gear whenfacing downhill.

ParkingPark the car in a safe place.Apply the parking brake.Ensure that all window glasses areclosed & all lamps are turned ‘OFF’At night, put on the parking lights ifrequired.

The non-booster type brakingsystem may not be fitted in theStandard model, while the CX andLX models are provided withbooster-assisted braking system.The booster and non-boosterversions provide similar brakingperformance for the vehicle.However, the amount of braking effortrequired by the driver to activate thebrakes would be lesser in the brake-booster models.

Gear Shifting :The gearshift pattern is shown onthe gear shift lever knob. All forwardgears being synchronized, provideeasy and effortless gear shifting.Always remember to press the clutchpedal fully while shifting the gearsand also to release the clutch pedalgently.

Avoid sudden clutching i.e. abruptrelease of depressed clutch pedal.

NOTICEThe reverse gear should beengaged only when the car isstationary. Wait for 5 seconds afterde clutching to ensure smoothengagement of the reverse gear.

BrakingThe distance required to bring a carto a halt increase with the speed ofthe vehicle. The braking distanceneeded for vehicle at 60 kmph will beapproximately 4 times greater than thebraking distance needed at 30 kmph.Anticipate your stop, slowdowngradually and apply brake.If water gets into the brake drums,brake performance may become poorand unpredictable. After driving throughwater or washing the underside of thevehicle, test the brake while driving atslow speed to see if they havemaintained there normaleffectiveness. If the brakes are lesseffective than normal, dry them byrepeatedly applying the brake whiledriving slowly until the brakes haveregained their normal effectiveness.

Page 52: Tata Nano Owner's Manual

50

Driving Through Water :

Never venture to drive through waterwhen it flows over the guard stoneson a bridge.

Your car’s engine may get seriouslydamaged if attempted to crossthrough deep water. If at all thesituation demands that you have todrive through water then;

• Keep engine in fast idling andcrawl the car in low gear.

• After driving through water, applybrakes several times to dry theliners and to regain originalbraking.

Do not attempt to start the engine ifcar gets flooded with water.

Tow the car to a safe place.

Take the car to nearest TATAauthorised workshop to check entryof water in cylinders.

If water has entered the engine, ortransaxle, the lubricants will have tobe replaced. Get the starter andalternator checked.

Driving on a Rainy Day :

Check brakes, steering, windows,tyres for wear and tyre pressure.Check wiper blades for properfunctioning. Avoid harsh brakingand sharp turns. It may cause lossof control and lead to a skid. Forslowing down, shift to lower gearsand brake gently. Keep lights ON ifvisibility is poor.

Night Driving :

Dip the head lamp for oncomingtraffic during night driving.Maintain a speed such that you canstop within illuminated distance ofhead lamps.Use head lamp main/dip beam toalert other road users on turns/crossroads etc.

DRIVING DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITION

Page 53: Tata Nano Owner's Manual

5151

DRIVINGDRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITION

Use side indicators for lanechange or turning.Switch on hazard warning switch incase of hazardous parking or if yourvehicle is disabled to warn thepassing traffic.

Climbing Sharp Gradients onLoose Surfaces :

If the wheels start to slip within fewfeet of the end of the climb, motioncan be maintained by swinging thesteered wheels left and right, therebyproviding increased grip.If the vehicle stalls or lossesheadway while climbing a steep hill,make a quick shift to reverse andallow the vehicle to move back withthe control of engine compression.

Descending Sharp Gradients :

Start off smoothly in any suitablegear. Apply power smoothly so thatthere is no loss of traction by over-revving of the engine.Choose as smooth a slope aspossible and select the appropriategear so that gear changing in themiddle of the climb is not required.Changing gears in the middle of theclimb can cause loss of momentumand engine stalling. Shifting to lowergear has to be done cautiously toavoid loss of traction.Under no conditions should thevehicle be moved diagonally acrossa hill. The danger is in loss of tractionand sideways slippage, possiblyresulting in toppling over. Ifunavoidable, choose as mild anangle as possible and keep thevehicle moving.

Depending on the severity of thegradient, shift into appropriate gear.Use engine braking judiciouslywithout over-revving the engine.Brake application under suchsituations should be done verysmoothly to avoid loss of control.Select appropriate gear so that gearchanging or clutch disengagementis not involved while descending thegradient.

FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WILLHELP YOU TO PROTECT YOUR CARFROM CORROSION EFFECTIVELY.PROPER CLEANING :In order to protect your car fromcorrosion it is recommended that youwash your car thoroughly andfrequently in case :1. There is an heavy accumulation

of dirt and mud especially on theunderbody.

2. It is driven in areas having highatmosphere pollution due tosmoke, soot, dust, iron dust andother chemical pollutants.

3. It is driven in coastal areas.4. The underbody must be

thoroughly pressure washed afterevery three months.In addition to regularly washingyour car, the followingprecautions need to be taken.

PERIODIC INSPECTION :1. Regularly inspect your car for

any damage in the paint filmsuch as deep scratches andimmediately get them repairedfrom an authorised serviceoutlet, as these defects tend toaccelerate corrosion.

2. Inspect mud l iners fordamages.

3. Keep all drain holes clear fromclogging.

PROPER PARKING :Always park your car in shade toprotect it from harsh sunlight or ina well-ventilated garage so that

there is no dampness on any partof the car.WASHING YOUR CAR :HAND WASH :1. Always wash your car in shade

and the surface is at roomtemperature.

2. Wash with mild car wash soaplike ‘Car Shampoo’ and use asoft 100% cotton cloth to avoidscratches.Dry wiping your carmay lead to the formation ofscratches and hence alwaysuse a soft cloth and clean waterwhile wiping your car.

3. To avoid scratches, pleasewear soft gloves . Removefinger rings, wrist watch whilewashing.

4. To remove stubborn stainsand contaminants like tar, useturpentine or cleaners l ike‘Stain remover’ which are safefor paint surfaces.

5. Avoid substances like petrol,diesel, kerosene, benzene orother solvents that causedamage to paint.

6. Dry your car thoroughly toprevent any damp spots.

NOTICEDo not direct high pressurewasher fluid/ water jets at electricaldevices and their connectorsduring washing. This is to preventmalfunction / failure of electricalsystem due to water ingress.

WAXING :

Waxing and pol ishing isrecommended to maintain thegloss and wet-look appearance ofyour paint finish.

1. Use a good quality polish andwax for your car.

2. Re-wax your car when thewater does not sl ip off thesurface and collects over thesurface in patches.

Further tips for the care of yournew car finish :

I f your car is washed in anautomatic car wash, pleaseremember that the paint can bescratched by type of brushes,unfiltered washing water or thewashing process itself. Scratchingreduces paint durability and gloss,especially on darker colours. It issuggested to wash the car by handwith cool and clean water using asoft cloth or sponge. Please do notuse soap but a car shampoorecommended by your dealer.

Please take the followingprecautions :

1. Always keep your car parked in awell ventilated shade. Exposure toheat with entrapped moisturepromotes corrosion.

2. Avoid driving on gravel roads,as the possibility of paint chipoff due to the impact of stonesis high. If you are driving on

freshly tarred road, checkimmediately afterwards for anystains and clean them.

3. External contamination in theform of sap or industrial fall-outmay mar or develop spots on anew finish. Hence avoid parkingyour car near trees, which areknown to drop sap, or nearfactories, which give out heavysmoke.

4. The acid content in birddroppings may damage thenewly painted finish and henceany bird dropping must beimmediately washed off.

5. The paint finish is susceptibleto damage in case petrol, brakefluid, liquid from car battery, oil,antifreeze, transmission fluid orwindshield solvent spills ontothe painted surface. In case ofsuch a spillage immediatelyrinse the affected area withwater. Avoid wiping the area asfar as possible, however ifwiping is required, ensure thatyou wipe the area gently withsoft cotton cloth.

6. Avoid using sharp objects toscrap off tar or mud from apainted surface as i t maydevelop scratches or maydevelop scratches or damagethe paint finish.

ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL

Engine oil level should be checkedwhen engine is cold. Allow at least30 mins. for engine oil to settlebefore checking oil level.1. For checking engine oil level,

pull out the dipstick from theengine oil case, wipe it clean witha cloth or a paper napkin.

2. Insert it again to its originalposition.

3. Pull out the dipstick again andobserve the oil level on thedipstick.

4. If the oil level is below the midpoint of min. and max. marks, topup using recommended gradeof oil.

NOTICEOil level should not exceed themax. Mark. Always check the oillevel when the car is on a levelground and the engine in coldcondition.Check the engine oil level if “low oilpressure” warning comes 'ON'while driving. Failure to check the

1. Engine Filling Cap 2. Dip Stick

oil level regularly could lead toserious trouble due to insufficientoil.

The coolant level in the coolant no-loss tank should be between max.& min. marks. This can be viewedthrough a translucent reservoir. Ifless, add coolant up to the max.mark and refit the cap properly.

NOTICECheck coolant level in the radiator,by opening the pressure cap(ensure vehicle is in cold condition).If coolant level is seen below fillerneck top, then add specified pre-mixed coolant (50:50).

AIR FILTER & SPARK PLUG

NOTICECheck radiator fins for dirt/dustaccumulation. Get it cleaned fromauthorised Tata Service Dealer ifrequired.

NOTICEIf ‘No loss’ tank is foundcompletely empty, top up coolantthrough radiator as well asauxilary tank cap.

CAUTIONNever remove the filler cap whenthe engine is hot. Use onlybranded premixed ready to usecoolant. In case of emergency usenormal water only. When a propercoolant mixture is available, theentire system should be flushed& filled with the same at theearliest.

AIR FILTER :

The air filter element should beperiodically cleaned.

Always use a genuine air filterelement.

The air filter is located on the LH sideof the engine compartment.

a) When a vehicle is driven underdusty conditions, frequentcleaning and replacement of theair-cleaner element isnecessary.

b) Clogged air-cleaners lead togreater intake resistance andresult in increased fuelconsumption. Using lowpressure compressed air, blowoff dust on the air cleanerelement. If the air cleanerelement appears to be choked,replace it with a new one.

SPARK PLUG :

Make : Champion RC8YC / RC10YCElectrode Gap : 0.8 to 0.9 mm

0.8-0.9 mm

Check coolant level in ‘No-Loss(Reservoir) tank, if lower than theMAX leve, then add specificpremixed coolant (50:50) uptorefill level.

MAINTENANCETYRES

TyresCheck for inflation and condition ofyour car tyres periodically.

Inflation :Check the pressure in the tyres whenthey are cold.

You should have your own tyrepressure gauge and use it at alltimes. This makes it easier for you totell if pressure loss is caused by atyre problem and not by variationbetween gauges.

Keeping the tyres properly inflatedgives you the best combination ofcomfort, handling, tyre life and betterfuel efficiency.

Over inflation of tyres makes the carride bumpy and harsh. Tyres aremore prone to uneven wear anddamage from road hazards.

1 2 31. Underinflation : Excessive

Side Tread Wear2. Correct Tyre Pressure :

Uniform Tyre Wear

3. Overinflation : ExcessiveCentre Tread Wear

Under inflated tyres reduce yourcomfort in car handling and are proneto failures due to high temperature.They also cause uneven wear andmore fuel consumption.

CAUTIONEvery time you check inflationpressure, you should alsoexamine tyres for damage, foreignobjects and wear.

Recommended Tyre Pressures

Tyres size :Front 135/70R12Rear 155/65R12Spare 135/70R12Tyre pressure :Front 26-28 psi /1.7-1.9 kg/cm2

Rear 28-30 psi /1.9-2.1 kg/cm2

Spare 28-30 psi /1.9-2.1 kg/cm2

CAUTIONReplace the tyre if you find eitherof these conditions.• Bumps or bulges in the tread

or the side of the tyre.• Cuts, splits or cracks in the

side of the tyre. Replace the tyreif you notice this on the fabricor cord.

• Excessive tread wear or nonuniform tyre wear.

NOTICELower air pressure (Front - 26 &Rear - 28 psi) is recommended ifyou prefer riding comfort

REPAIRING TYRES

Repairing a Tyre :

Mark the tyre position (if originalcolour dot mark is not visible) withrespect to valve stem hole to ensurethat the tyre is refitted in the originallocation on the wheel rim.

Ensure that balancing weights arenot disturbed during removal of tyres.

Check the balance weight prior to theremoval of the tyre. If found loose,mark its location on the rim & refitproperly.

Balance the wheel after everydismantling and assembly of tyre onthe wheel rim if required.

While fitting wheels on the vehicleensure that wheel pins are free fromdust, scratches, dirt, dents, etc.

NOTICEDo not apply any oil on the wheelpins. Wipe off the oil if present.

Special care for tubeless tyres

1. While removing tyre from wheelrim and mounting it back onwheel rim, take precautions notto damage tyre bead. Use tyreremoval and assemblymachines. Damage or cut on tyrebead may cause gradual loss ofair and deflation of tyre.

2. Do not scratch inside of tubelesstyre with metallic or sharp object.Tubeless tyres are coated withimpermeable layer of rubberfrom inside which holds the air

inside the tyre. Removal of thislayer due to scratching maycause gradual loss of air anddeflation.

3. If wheel rim gets damaged inservice, get the wheel rimrepaired/replaced immediately.Running the vehicle withdamaged rim may causedeflation of tyre and subsequentdislodging of tyre from rim.

4. Maintain recommended inflationpressure. Over-inflation, inparticular, may cause punctureor bursting of tyre.

NOTICELife and wear pattern of tyresdepends on various parameterslike tyre pressure, wheelalignment, wheel balancing, tyrerotation, etc. It also largelydepends on vehicle speed, loadcarried, usage, driving habits,road conditions, tyre quality, etc.In case fault is suspected to bedue to poor quality of tyres, thesame may be taken up withconcerned tyre manufacturer.

Below are important aspects aboutthe operation of the Bluetoothfunction in your Infotainmentsystem:

1. The Infotainment system cansupport only one Bluetoothdevice pairing at a time. Forinstance, you cannot use yourInfotainment system to pair twocell phones concurrently toundesirable communication.

2. Your Infotainment system willautomatically reconnect the cellphone or multimedia device youhave paired. If you do not want anautomatic connection of yourInfotainment system, take one ofthe following measures todisable this option:• Turn off the Bluetooth function

in the cell phone or multimediadevice that would beautomatically connected.

• Keep the cell phone ormultimedia device that wouldbe automatically connected inthe OFF state.

• Delete from the connected BTphone from the Infotainmentsystem.

CAUTIONThe automatic connection will bealways ON, as long as the radio'sBluetooth function is active.Failure to take any one of theabove measures can cause anundesirable communication.

Radio receptionAlways memorize the desiredstations using the radio memorykeys. This will help you selectdesired station in a faster manner.

AM Reception (Medium Waves)At most conditions, strong AMsignals provide stable sound qualityand with low sign noise. At night,however, the atmosphericconditions may sometimes lead tointerference from other stations.

FM ReceptionFM zone offers best quality soundreception; however, the signalintensity may be subjected to noisecaused by:

• Limited reach of sometransmitters;

• Distortion caused by signalsreflected in local buildings andother obstructions;

• “Shadow zones” wherein thesignal reception is obstructed orrestricted;
