General Tips

Your Tata vehicle is designed to deliver years of reliable, economical, and smooth performance. To keep it running at its best, regular servicing is essential.

Please follow the recommended maintenance schedule by Jai Ganesh Tata Motors, and visit our authorized service center for professional care.

Some Do’s

  • Always start the car from a complete stop in first gear.
  • Switch off the AC and other accessories before starting the vehicle.
  • Keep the engine properly tuned, especially for anti-stall settings.
  • Maintain the fuel system and engine in top condition.
  • Check and maintain the correct tyre pressure regularly.
  • Press the clutch pedal fully before shifting gears.
  • For smooth starts, coordinate clutch release with accelerator input.
  • Shift gears at the right speed — avoid using higher gears at low speeds.

Some Don’ts

  • Don’t ride the clutch or use half-clutch — use the parking brake when needed.
  • Avoid adding detergent or solvent to the windshield washer tank.
  • Don’t use high air pressure when cleaning the air filter — it can get damaged.
  • Never open the coolant bottle cap when hot — it may cause injury.
  • Don’t swap fuel caps between petrol and diesel vehicles.
  • Never drive with the engine off, or remove the key while it’s still on.
  • Avoid turning the steering to extreme lock positions — it may harm the power steering system.
  • Don’t reverse the battery connections — it may damage electrical parts.
  • Don’t wipe painted surfaces when dry — this could cause scratches.
  • Avoid putting pressure on the bonnet, which can cause dents.

If You’re Not Using the Car for an Extended Period:

  • Park in a covered, dry, and ventilated space.
  • Keep the vehicle in gear but do not engage the handbrake.
  • Disconnect the battery cables (starting with the negative terminal).
  • Clean and wax the painted surfaces for protection.
  • Use special cleaners for chrome or shiny parts.
  • Apply talcum powder to the wiper blades and lift them from the glass.
  • Slightly open the windows for ventilation.
  • Use a cloth or perforated plastic car cover — never a fully sealed one.
  • Inflate tyres to 0.5 bar above normal, and check them regularly.
  • Check the battery charge every 6 weeks.
  • Do not drain the engine coolant system.
