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

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.

During running-in period i.e. first 1000 km. follow the running-
in instructions given below :
A. 1. After starting the engine do not rev it up.
Warm up gradually at idling speed.
2. Avoid sudden acceleration and full throttle.
3. It is always preferred not to rev up a cold engine lest
engine bearings get affected.
B. Recommended car speeds during running-in period for
diesel and petrol versions :

Gear Shifting :
All forward gears being synchronised, provide for easy and effortless
gear shifting. Always remember to press the clutch pedal fully while
shifting the gears and also to release the clutch pedal gently.
Avoid sudden clutching i.e. abrupt release of depressed clutch pedal.
Do not shift into reverse gear when the car is moving forward or when
the engine is not at idling r.p.m. A 5 second pause after declutching
will ensure smooth engagement of the reverse gear. Change gears at
appropriate gear change speeds.
Note : There is an interlock provided between fifth and reverse gear
to prevent accidental shift from 5th gear to reverse gear. (Shifting
from reverse gear to 5th gear is possible)

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.

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.

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.
