Do not leave the key inside the car.Do not leave children unattended in the car.Avoid parking the car over inflammable materials, suchas dry leaves, grass etc., as the exhaust system is hotenough to initiate 'FIRE'.

N O T E :N O T E :N O T E :N O T E :N O T E :Tata Indigo diesel cars use Electronic Micro ProcessorController to control critical engine parameters like pre/post glow and cold advance. The glow plug and cold advancefunction will remain on even after starting of the enginedepending on the engine coolant temperature at the start.

It is quite likely that at higher altitude (above 2000 meters)one may experience exhaust smoke being white in colouror engine hesitations in cold driving condition. The aboveobservations are for few seconds only, and in order tocontain the happening, it is suggested that after idle run of30 seconds on a cold engine start, the car can be drivenoff.

The above white smoke at altitude in cold condition fromdiesel engine is a normal happening, and due to temporaryeffect of atmospheric pressure. This in no way will affectthe engine performance or the ecology.

AIR FILTER :

The air filter element should be periodically cleaned. Replace the airfilter element with a new one, when air cleaner service indicator showsred band, even after cleaning.Always use a genuine air filter element.The air filter is located on the LH side of the engine compartment.

Replacement of Air Filter Element :a) Remove the cover of the air filter, by removing the screws.b) Remove the air filter element.c) Clean it gently by tapping. Clean air filter cover and air ducting.d) Check the element for puncture or pin holes by holding against

a bright light source.e) If found to be OK, reinstall the filter element. Fit the cover and plug

on the clips.f) After cleaning, if the service indicator shows 'RED', replace air filter

element.

NOTICEa) When a car is driven under dusty conditions, frequent

replacement of the air-cleaner element is necessitated.b) Clogged air-cleaners lead to greater intake resistance and result

in increased fuel consumption. Using low pressure compressedair, blow off dust on the air cleaner element. If the air cleanerelement appears to be choked, replace it with a new one.

Fuel Sedimenter (DICOR): (if fitted)The water accumulated should be drained if the water infuel sedimenter lndicator in the cluster glows during enginerunning.Water draining in fuel sedimenter :Fuel sedimenter (If fitted) is the equipment fitted in fuelsystem to separate Water contents from diesel and toprevent the water from entering the Fuel System.

CAUTIONWater ingress in fuel system can result in systemfailure. A water sensor is fitted in the sedimenter toindicate to the driver that the sedimenter has to be drained.Check if water in fuel sedimenter indicator lamp ininstrument cluster is ‘ON’ (if fitted).

NOTICEDrain the water from the sedimenter and Fuel Filter whenwater in fuel sedimenter lamp comes ‘ON’.

Procedure for Draining Water from Sedimenter :1. Stop the engine, and wait until pressures stabilizes.2. Unclip one of the hydraulic connections (either inlet or

outlet) and the electric connector of the water sensor.3. Place a container underneath the sedimenter.

4. Unscrew the water sensor about 2 turns.5. Wait until all the water has drained out of the water

sedimenter.6. As soon as the flow is free of water, screw back the

water sensor to the required torque.7. Clip the hydraulic connector and the electric connec

tor to the water sensor.Use hand primer pump to refill the fuel line before restarting.

Limp - home mode operation :When water gets accumulated in watersedimenter, “water in fuel indicator lamp” oninstrument cluster remains ON continuously.This causes the vehicle to run on “Limp Home Mode”; thereis a drastic reduction in performance of the vehicle in LimpHome Mode.

NOTICEAt initial “Key-ON”, the water in fuel lamp indication onthe dashboard glows for 2 seconds and goes 'OFF'automatically. If this lamp does not glow, vehicle has tobe taken to the service station for verification andnecessary attention.

CLUTCH :Your car is provided with a single plate dry friction diaphragm type,pre-loaded release bearing clutch which is mechanically actuated by acable connecting the clutch pedal & the clutch release lever.There is no free play in the system and hence no clutch pedal free playadjustment is required although the clutch pedal height from the floorhas to be adjusted as clutch lining wears and operate pedal 4-5 timeand confirm no change in pedal height. The clutch pedal height fromthe floor keeps on increasing as the clutch lining wears. However, ensurethat clutch pedal has free movement when lifted upward.

NOTICE• Do not ride the clutch. It will cause premature clutch wear.• Do not release the clutch suddenly.

BRAKES :Dual circuit, diagonal split hydraulic brakes through tandem mastercylinder have been provided. The front brakes are disc brakes withfloating type calipers while the rear brakes are drum brakes with auto-matic adjustment. No adjustments are required for front & rear brakes.The parking brake is a mechanical lever type, console mounted, cableoperated, and acting on rear wheels.Pressure reducing valves are provided on both circuits for the rearbrakes to avoid locking of wheels & skidding of the car.If parking brake lever travel is observed to be more than 6th notch,approach nearest TATA Motors authorised service centre to get theadjustment done.

Vacuum Assistance : The hydraulic brake system of your car isassisted by a vacuum booster which reduced the effort of driverduring braking. In the unlikely event of disruption in supply of vacuumto the booster (e.g. stoppage of engine, or failure of vacuum hose)this assistance will still be available but only for one or two brakeapplications to bring the vehicle to a stop. Beyond this, vacuumassistance will not be felt by the driver and brakes will appear to behard/ineffective. In order to stop the vehicle effectively the driverwill have to apply a much higher force on the brake pedal (roughly5 times the normal effort).

CAUTIONNever drive the vehicle in engine switched "OFF" condition.

BLEEDING PROCEDURE FOR BRAKE SYSTEM :1. Clean all dirt from around reservoir filler cap.2. Fill reservoir with fresh brake fluid to lower edge of filler neck.3. Attach bleed tube to left front caliper bleed screw and dip the

other end in jar of fresh brake fluid.4. Start engine and open the bleed screw by 1/2 to 3/4 of turn.5. Depress foot pedal slowly and fully. After tightening the bleed

screw, allow it to return slowly.6. Wait for 3-4 seconds before next stroke.7. Repeat until bubbles stop emanating from bleed tube.

Procedure for Oil Filling and Bleeding of Power SteeringProcedure for Oil Filling and Bleeding of Power SteeringProcedure for Oil Filling and Bleeding of Power SteeringProcedure for Oil Filling and Bleeding of Power SteeringProcedure for Oil Filling and Bleeding of Power Steering

(Ensure that the Power Steering fluid reservoir is clean beforestarting any work)

1. Fill the reservoir till it is nearly full, when the system is newlyinstalled otherwise fill up to 'Max' mark on reservoir. Crank theengine for 10 seconds without allowing it to start (if possible). Ifengine does start, shut the engine immediately.

Check & refill the reservoir. Repeat at least three times, eachtime checking & refilling the reservoir.

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

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

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


Do not force the wheel in lock position either to the extreme left orright. The power steering pump may get damaged. Hold it gently.

5. When the engine is at steady speed, check for bubbles or foamingin the oil. If present, it indicates that air is getting sucked into thesystem. Check the suction line/fittings and correct if necessary.

6. Once the system is bled properly and free from foaming, thereshould not be any appreciable change in the oil level in thereservoir, 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 thereservoir during the above operation. This may induce air into thesystem.Severe damage could occur to the power steering pump due todry running (Running without sufficient oil and due to severecavitation on account of air entry due to low oil level). This couldlead to loss of power assistance, damage and failure of the powersteering 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 anemergency, disconnect the pump drive belt and then start theengine or drive slowly as vacuum assistance for brake would not beavailable (as vacuum pump is also being driven by same belt).Always use recommended oil from sealed containers. Anycontaminated oil poured in the system will result in damage to thepump and gear box.Avoid mixing of different brands of oils.
