INSTRUMENT CLUSTER – VERSION-1
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER – VERSION-2
NOTE : All indicators shown may not be applicable to your vehicle.
1. Speedometer:
Speedometer indicates the vehicle speed in km/h.
NOTE
At every key IN and ignition ON, the IC needles moves to MAX. and return to ‘0’ position. This is a welcome strategy and a self check feature.
2. Tachometer :
Tachometer Indicates the engine speed in thousands of revolutions per min (rpm).
WARNING
- Do not continuously operate the engine in high rpm. This may cause severe engine damage.
- Whenever engine is accelerated beyond safe RPM, the pointers turn RED. In such a case, reduce the engine RPM immediately.
3. Fuel Gauge:
Version-2
Fuel Gauge Indicates the approximate fuel level in the tank.
- When fuel in the tank is near to empty position, low fuel warning telltale turns on.
- If fuel is not filled even after Low fuel warning telltale is ON, First bar in fuel gauge will start blinking to indicate more severe low fuel warning.
For checking correct fuel level, always take following precautions:
- Always check the fuel level when the vehicle is on level road.
- On inclines, curves, braking and sudden acceleration due to the movement of fuel in the tank, the fuel level display may fluctuate or the low fuel warning lamp may illuminate earlier than usual.
- When the ignition switch is in the ‘ON’ position, this gauge gives an approximate indication of the amount of fuel in the fuel tank and it takes few seconds to stabilize after the ignition is turned ON. ‘F’ stands for full and ‘E’ stands for empty.
- Do not continue adding fuel after the automatic shut ‘OFF’ function is operated if it is equipped on the fuel station. The sensor in the fuel tank may misjudge the amount of fuel remaining.
- Running the fuel tank too low or empty can cause your engine to stall and could endanger you and your passengers. You must stop and obtain additional fuel as soon as possible after low fuel warning telltale turns ‘ON’.
- Low fuel warning symbol will blink if there is any fault in the system. Take your vehicle to the nearest Tata authorized service station if the symbol starts blinking.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge: (if provided)
Indicates the engine coolant temperature of the vehicle. If the coolant temperature reading is very high, the coolant temperature warning tell tale flashes. In this case, stop the vehicle, switch OFF the engine and cool it down for sometime. Contact nearest TATA MOTORS Authorized Service Centre immediately for rectification.
WARNING
Driving with an Overheated engine can cause serious damage to the engine components.

1. Instantaneous Fuel Economy:
Maintain IFE bar graph above 15 km/l to achieve better fuel economy.
NOTE
IFE will vary frequently as per driv-ing pattern.
IFE display does not show Fuel Economy of last drive. It indicates Instantaneous Fuel economy of current Drive when Ignition is turned ‘ON’. The display does not show actual value unless vehicle is moving. The indication on the display may be delayed if fuel consumption is affected by driving pattern.
2. Average Fuel Economy:
Average Fuel Consumption will Reset to 0 when respective Trip meter is reset.
Average Fuel Economy will be displayed as ‘–.-‘ for initial 0.5 km of respective trip. Once 0.5 km distance is covered, Average Fuel Economy will be displayed. Even after 0.5 km distance covered for particular trip, Average fuel economy is displayed as ‘–.-‘ , take your vehicle to TATA MOTORS authorized service centre.
NOTE
AFE value is estimate of fuel economy.It may vary significantly based upon driving conditions, driving habits and condition of vehicle.
Average Fuel Consumption will get Reset to ‘0’ when Battery is removed and refitted.
3. Distance to Empty (DTE):
DTE value may differ from the actual driving distance available.
NOTE
If DTE is displayed as ‘—‘ , take your vehicle to TATA MOTORS authorized service centre.
The DTE will update with new value when fuel is added more than 4 Litres at a time. The average fuel consumption and distance to empty values may vary significantly based on driving con-ditions, driving habits, and condition of the vehicle. The distance to empty value is an es-timate of the available driving distance. If low fuel warning light comes on, fill the fuel tank immediately regardless the value of displayed DTE. If vehicle is not on level ground and negative of battery has been disturbed,the DTE function may not operate correctly.
