INTRODUCTION

Tata Indica is a safe car designed for quality performance.

In order to maintain the level of performance and reliability,

it is important that only Tata Motors genuine accessories

are to be fitted. Any accessory without authorisation can

hamper the safety and performance of the car besides

depriving you of your warranty benefits.

Use of genuine parts, designed and manufactured to our

exacting standards, is the best way to maintain your Tata

Indica in peak operating condition. Please do not use

substitutes. They always prove costlier in the long run.

Failure to use genuine parts can invalidate warranty

claims.

The information and specifications given in this book are

valid as on the date of printing. Tata Motors reserves the

right to make changes in design and specifications and/

or to make additions to or improvements in this product

without obligation to install them on products previously

sold.

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 statutory 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 :

Avoid frequent and violent acceleration.

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 car’s fuel consumption regularly. If it shows

a rising trend get the car immediately attended to at the

Company’s Authorised Service Centre.

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.

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 OF THE CAR :

Ensure that recommended maintenance is carried out

on the car regularly at the Tata Engineering Authorised

Service Outlets.

As soon as you notice any leakages of oil or fuel in the

car we recommend that you get it attended to

immediately.

Use only recommended brands and grades of lubricants

& coolants and clean/uncontaminated fuels.

Get your vehicle checked for emission periodically by our

authorised dealer and regularly renew the P.U.C.

Certificate.

Ensure that fuel filter, oil filter, breathers are periodically

checked and if required, replace the same using only

genuine recommended brands.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Taking Care of the Environment

Ofrecido por www.electromanuales.com

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Taking Care of the Environment

Do not pour used oils or coolants into sewage drains, garden

soil or open streams. Dispose of the used filters and

batteries in compliance with the current legislation.

Do not allow any unauthorised person to tamper with the

engine settings or to carry out modifications on the car.

Parts like brake liners and clutch disc should be vacuum

cleaned. Do not use compressed air for cleaning these

parts which may spread the dust in the atmosphere.

While carrying out the servicing or repairs of your car, you

should pay keen attention to some of the important engine

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 & fuel filters (check

periodically)

5. Catalytic converter (if fitted)

6. E.G.R. system

7. Turbocharger and Intercooler

This Owner’s Manual & Service Book contains further information

on driving precautions and maintenance care leading to

environment protection. Please familiarise yourself with these

aspects before driving.

INSTRUCTIONS TO IMPROVE FUEL ECONOMY :

Your car's fuel economy is mainly dependent on your style of

driving.

To operate your car as economically as possible, use the

following driving suggestions.

Avoid Excessive Idling :

Stop the engine and start it again, if you have to wait for more

than a minute while you are stopped.

Avoid fast starts & unnecessary stops :

Start off slowly from traffic lights or stop signs to prevent

increased fuel consumption and shortening of engine life.

Avoid unnecessary deceleration (stopping or slowing down)

and then acceleration which uses more fuel.

Always maintain clean air-cleaner :

The amount of air supplied will reduce due to clogged air-

cleaner, resulting in waste of fuel due to incomplete

combustion.

Avoid incorrect tyre pressures :

Under-inflated tyres result in increased running resistance of

the tyres, leading to wastage of fuel.

STARTING & DRIVING Fuel Economy

Always have the engine tuned correctly through

recommended maintenance at an Authorised Service

outlet.

Proper Driving Practices :

Keep a safe distance from other vehicles to avoid braking

suddenly.

Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal. It does not allow full

engine power to be transmitted to the vehicle and reduces

clutch life.

Fuel economy speeds :

Driving Through Water :

•Never venture to drive through water when it flows above

the stone guard or above the tyre centre line.

•The engine may get seriously damaged if attempts are made

to cross through deep water.

•If at all the situation demands that you have to drive through

water even at great risk then,

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

•After driving through water apply the brakes several times

to dry the liners and to regain original braking.

•Check the engine and transaxle for any water ingress.

Do not attempt to start the engine if the car gets flooded

due to water.

•Tow the car to a safe place.

•Take the car to the nearest Authorised Service outlet to

check for entry of water in the engine.

•Lubricants in the engine and transaxle need to be changed

in case of water entry.

STARTING & DRIVING Driving In Adverse Conditions

Ofrecido por www.electromanuales.com

Driving on a Rainy Day :

•Check wiper blades for proper functioning.

•Check brakes, steering and windows.

•Check tyres for wear and tyre pressure. Worn out tyres are

unsafe on wet roads.

•Avoid harsh braking and sharp turns. It may cause loss of

steering control and lead to the car skidding.

•For slowing down, shift to lower gears and apply brakes

gently.

•Keep lights on if visibility is poor.

•Use heater and demister if required to clear off mist on the

windshield.

Night Driving :

•Dip the head lamp for oncoming traffic during night driving.

•Maintain a speed such that you can stop within illuminated

distance of the head lamps.

•Use head lamp main/dip beam to alert other users on turns/

cross roads, etc.

•Use side indicators to indicate lane change or turning.

•Put on the hazard warning switch in case of hazardous

parking or if your car is disabled to warn passing traffic.

STARTING & DRIVING Driving In Adverse Conditions

Ofrecido por www.electromanuales.com

DRIVING DIESEL & PETROL CARS :

The combustion systems of the petrol engine & diesel engine are

totally different. While the former makes use of the spark ignition,

the latter uses compression ignition type. Due to the difference

in compression ratios, cylinder pressure and combustion cycle the

performance characteristics of both the engines differ greatly, even

if the final power out put is the same.

Therefore, if the diesel car is driven in the same fashion as the petrol

car the response of the car will be entirely different for equal

capacity engines.

Towing the Vehicle :

•For towing a car, the best way is to use a wrecker.

•Alternatively use a rigid tow bar.

•Avoid using a flexible cable or rope as your car may crash into

the car towing your car when it stops suddenly.

•Switch ‘ON’ the hazard warning signals of both the cars to

warn other road users.

•Where possible, keep the engine idling so that power steering

assistance and brake vacuum are available.

•Limit the speed to 20-30 kmph.

•In case of brake failure, use the parking brake to control the

car.

Procedure for Oil Filling and Bleeding of Power Steering

(Ensure that the Power Steering fluid reservoir is clean before starting

any work)

1. Fill the reservoir till it is nearly full, when the system is newly installed

otherwise fill up to 'Max' mark on reservoir. Crank the engine for 10

seconds without allowing it to start (if possible). If engine does start,

shut the engine immediately.

Check & refill the reservoir. Repeat at least three times, each time

checking & refilling the reservoir.

2. Check for any leakage in the system and if noticed take corrective

action.

3. Start the engine & steer the car from full left to full right turn 3-4

times.

4. Add fluid if necessary to maintain the level upto 'Max' mark on

reservoir.

Do not force the wheel in lock position either to the extreme

left or right. The power steering pump may get damaged. Hold

it gently.

5. When the engine is at steady speed, check for bubbles or foaming

in the oil. If present it indicates that air is getting sucked into the

system. Check the suction line/fittings and correct if necessary.

Power Steering Fluid Container

Ofrecido por www.electromanuales.com

6. Once the system is bled properly and free from foaming, there

should not be any appreciable change in the oil level in the

reservoir, when the engine is started or stopped repeatedly.

7. Now the car is ready to be driven.

Final oil level should be upto 'Max' mark of reservoir.

Do not allow fluid level to drop significantly or run out of the

reservoir during the above operation. This may induce air into

the system.

Severe damage could occur to the power steering pump due

to dry running (Running without sufficient oil and due to

severe cavitation on account of air entry due to low oil level).

This could lead to loss of power assistance, damage and failure

of the power steering system.

Do not start the engine without oil in the power steering

system. This will result in serious damage to the pump. In case

of an emergency, disconnect the pump drive belt and then

start the engine or drive slowly as vacuum assistance for brake

would not be available.

Always use recommended oil from sealed containers. Any

contaminated oil poured in the system will result in damage

to the pump and gear box.

Avoid mixing of different brands of oils.

Starting the Engine with Jump Leads :

The engine of a car with a discharged battery may be started by

transferring electrical power from a battery in another car.

This may be dangerous as any deviation from the following instructions

could lead to personal injury resulting from any battery explosion, as

well as damage to the electrical systems in both cars.

Do not allow battery electrolyte to come in contact with eyes,

skin, fabrics or painted surfaces. The fluid contains sulphuric

acid which can cause injury and severe damage. Wear rubber

gloves, to avoid risk of contact.

•To lessen the risk of injury, wear eye protection when working near

any battery.

•Make sure that the battery providing the jump start has the same voltage

as the battery in your car (12 V). Its capacity must be approximately the

same as the original battery capacity. The voltage and capacity are given

on the batteries.

•Do not disconnect the discharged battery from the car.

•Switch off all unnecessary electrical loads.

•Do not lean over the battery during jump starting.

•Do not allow the terminals of one lead to touch those of the other

lead.

•Apply the hand brake. Keep the gearshift lever in neutral.

MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE Wheels & Tyres

Connect leads in the order as shown in the sketch :

•Do not connect the lead to the negative terminal of the discharged

battery.

•The connection of the -ve lead point should be as far away from

the discharged battery as possible and close to the starter motor

on engine/transaxle.

•Route the leads so that they cannot get caught by the rotating

parts in the engine compartment.

•The engine of the car providing the jump start can be allowed to

run during starting.

Attempts to start the engine of the car with the discharged battery

should be made at intervals of one minute and should not last more

than 15 seconds. After starting, allow both engines to idle for

approximately 3 minutes with the leads still connected.

WHEELS & TYRES :

Always use only the recommended size of wheel rims & tyres. Use of

non-recommended rims and tyres may have an adverse effect on car

safety and furthermore could infringe on car regulations.

Wheel Change :

When changing wheels, use the jack provided with the car. The jack

with handle is located on tailgate inner sill.

• Park the car on a safe level ground. Engage 1st gear and also apply

the parking brake. Place wheel chocks behind the rear wheels and

in front of the front wheels.

Wheel Alignment :

Correct wheel alignment helps to ensure uniform tyre wear. You should

get your car’s wheel alignment checked regularly as per

recommendation.

In case uneven tyre wear is observed, the vehicle’s wheel alignment

should be checked as soon as possible.

Wheel Balancing :

Wheels are balanced at the factory. They may need to be rebalanced

at some time.

The wheels should be checked for balance if a tyre or tube is repaired.

Whenever a tyre or wheel rim is changed, the tyre needs to be balanced.

1. Permissible imbalance for tyre with rim = 125 gm. cm. (max.)

2. Total balance weight should be within 80 gm on each side.

3. Relocate the tyre on the wheel rim if the weight required to balance

is more than 80 gm.

4. Balance weights are available from 5 gm to 80 gm, in steps of 5 gm.

5. Do not use more than one balance weight on one side.

Tyres :

Check for inflation and condition of your car tyres periodically.

Inflation :

Check the pressure in the tyres when they are cold.

Refer to the tyre information label fitted on the driver side doorpost for

correct cold tyre pressure.

Recommended Tyre Pressures : (with cold tyres)

Front/Rear 30 PSI (2.1 bar) / 28 PSI (1.9 bar) -165/65 R 13

Front/Rear 28 PSI (1.9 bar) / 24 PSI (1.6 bar) - 165/65 R 14

You should have your own tyre pressure gauge and use it at all times.

This makes it easier for you to tell if pressure loss is caused by a tyre

problem and not by variation between gauges.

Keeping the tyres properly inflated gives you the best combination of

riding comfort, handling and tyre life.

Over inflation of tyres makes the car ride bumpy and harsh. Tyres are

more prone to uneven wear and damage from road hazards.

Under inflated tyres reduce your comfort in car handling and are prone

to failures due to high temperature. They also cause uneven wear and

more fuel consumption.

Inspection :

Every time you check inflation pressure, you should also

examine tyres for leakage, damage, foreign objects & wear.

You should look for :

•Bumps or bulges in the tread or the side of the tyre. Replace

the tyre if you find either of these conditions.

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

if you notice this on the fabric or cord.

•Excessive tread wear or non uniform tyre wear.

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 car and tyre wear pattern.

The illustration shows how to rotate tyres when a normal spare wheel is

included in tyre rotation.

Spare Wheel :

It is located in the luggage compartment.

•To take out the spare wheel, first fold in and lift up the floor cover.

•Unscrew and remove retaining bolt, at the centre.

•Lift and take out the spare wheel.

Repairing a Tyre/Tube :

Mark the tyre position suitably (if original colour dot mark is not visible)

with respect to valve stem hole to ensure that the tyre is refitted in the

original location on the wheel rim.

Ensure that balancing weights are not disturbed during removal of tyres.

Check the balance weight prior to the removal of the tyre. If found

loose, mark its location on the rim & refit properly.

Balance the wheel after every dismantling and assembly of tyre on

the wheel rim.

While fitting wheels on the car ensure that wheel pins are free from

dust, scratches, dirt, dents, etc.

Ensure the tube being replaced has the correct valve.

Do not apply any oil on the wheel pins. Wipe off the oil if

present.

For replacement of the decorative wheel cover, remove only 3 wheel

pins. The 4th wheel pin, where the hole on the cover is larger need not

be removed to remove the cover.

Fuses & Relays :

The electrical circuits in your car have fuses to protect the wiring from

accidental short circuit or sustained overload. Fuses and relays are

located at 3 locations in your car as shown in the sketch.

Circuit connected through fuses and relays and the amperage of the

fuse is printed on the fuse box covers.

Checking and replacing fuses :

If any electrical unit in your car has stopped functioning, the fuses

should be checked first.

•Turn the ignition key to 'LOCK' position.

•Remove the fuse box cover, locate the fuse for the function.

•Remove the fuse & look for the fuse element inside the fuse. If it is

damaged replace it with a fuse of same rating and type. Push the

fuse firmly into the holder.

•Check that all other fuses are firmly in position and fix the cover

back in position. Spare fuses are provided in the fuse box in the

cabin.

If the replaced fuse of the correct rating burns out in short time, there

is probably a serious electrical problem in your car. Get the car attended

to at the nearest our Authorised Service outlet.

If any of the function relays is found defective, replace it by a genuine

relay.

Never use a fuse of higher rating than specified.

Always ensure that spare fuses are replenished.

FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WILL HELP YOU TO BETTER

PROTECT YOUR INDICA FROM CORROSION

PROPER CLEANING :

In order to protect your Indica from corrosion it is

recommended that you wash your Indica thoroughly and

frequently in case :

1. There is an heavy accumulation of dirt and mud especially

on the underbody.

2. It is driven in areas having high atmosphere pollution due

to smoke, soot, dust, iron dust & other chemical pollutants.

3. It is driven in coastal areas.

4. The underbody must be thoroughly pressure washed after

every three months.

In addition to regularly washing your Indica, the following

precautions need to be taken.

PERIODIC INSPECTION :

1. Regularly inspect your Indica for any damage in the paint

film such as deep scratches and immediately get them

repaired from an authorised service center, as these defects

tend to accelerate corrosion.

2. Inspect mud liners for damages.

3. 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.

WASHING YOUR INDICA :

Follow these tips while washing your Indica.

HAND WASH :

1. Always wash your Indica in shade and when the surface is

at room temperature.

2. Wash with mild car wash soap like "Car Shampoo" and use

a soft 100% cotton cloth to avoid scratches. Please take help

of your dealer to buy the right products.

3. Please be sure that you remove your wristwatch and wear

soft gloves to avoid scratches due to finger rings or nails.

4. To remove stubborn stains and contaminants like tar, use

turpentine or cleaners like "Stain Remover" which is safe

for painted surfaces. Again your dealer can help you in

selecting the right product.

5. Avoid substances like petrol, diesel, kerosene, benzene 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.

MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE Car Care

MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE Car Care

WAXING :

Waxing and polishing is recommended to maintain the gloss

and wet-look appearance of your paint finish.

1. Use a good quality polish and wax for your Indica.

2. Re-wax your Indica when the water does not slip off the

surface and collects over the surface in patches.

Further tips for the care of your new INDICA finish :

We recommend that you do not use an automatic car wash as

the stiff brushes or sponges could mar the finish and damage

the surface of your Indica. Wash the vehicle by hand with cool

and clean water using a soft cloth or sponge. Please do not use

soap but a car shampoo recommended by your dealer.

Please take the following precautions :

1. Always wash your car in shade, avoiding direct exposure to

sunlight during washing.

2. Dry wiping your Indica may lead to the formation of

scratches and hence always use a soft cloth and clean water

while wiping your Indica.

3. Always keep your Indica parked in a well ventilated shade.

Exposure to heat with entrapped moisture promotes

corrosion.

4. Avoid driving on gravel roads, as the possibility of paint chip

off due to the impact of stones is high. If you are driving on

freshly tarred road, check immediately afterwards for any

stains & clean them.

5. External contamination in the form of sap or industrial fall-

out may mar or develop spots on a new finish. Hence avoid

parking your Indica near trees, which are known to drop

sap, or near factories, which give out heavy smoke.

6. The acid content in bird droppings may damage the newly

painted finish and hence any bird dropping must be

immediately washed off.

7. The paint finish is susceptible to damage in case petrol,

brake fluid, liquid from car battery, oil, antifreeze,

transmission fluid or windshield solvent spills onto the

painted surface. In case of such a spillage immediately rinse

the affected area with water. Avoid wiping the area far as

possible, however if wiping is required, ensure that you wipe

the area gently with soft cotton cloth.

8. Avoid using sharp objects to scrap off tar or mud from a

painted surface as it may develop scratches or may peel off

the paint.
