Tips to maintain your Tata Tiago
Your Tata Tiago works hard to get you from point A to point B efficiently and safely. As the owner, it's your duty to service and maintain the car so that it can keep performing to the best of its ability. When you regularly service and maintain your car, you stand to benefit in terms of enhanced safety, reduced maintenance costs, and great performance.
Here are a few tips and tricks that can help you maintain your Tata Tiago.
Service schedule
There is no better way to protect your car’s performance than by taking it to the service centre according to the service schedule. Never skip a service schedule, as it is not only a question of enhancing your car’s longevity, but it also helps keep you safe.
- Check all fluid and oil levels regularly. Get it changed and refilled as per the schedule. If the levels have dropped before the scheduled time due to usage, you will need to top them up as soon as possible.
- The same applies to all the filters in the vehicle. Replace them according to the schedule for improved performance. This includes the oil filter, air filter and cabin filter.
- Wheel alignment and balancing must be performed according to schedule. The tyres will also have to be rotated accordingly.
- Use genuine spare parts and avoid opting for aftermarket parts just because they are more cost-effective.
- Check the suspension and underbody regularly, especially if you frequently drive through potholes and rain.
Driving habits
At the end of the day, your driving habits determine the condition of your car. Taking a gentler approach to driving can pay off big time in terms of saved maintenance costs, besides keeping you safe.
- Avoid hard and sudden braking and acceleration. This can damage your engine, tyres and brakes.
- Potholes can damage your Tata Tiago’s suspension and underbody. Try to avoid them as much as possible.
- Speeding unnecessarily and frequently can cause significant damage to your car. Don’t overspeed, and be gentle with your car.
- Don’t let the engine idle for too long. Switch it off if you are at a long stop to save fuel and reduce wear and tear.
- When you start your car, let the engine warm up for a bit before driving off at a higher speed, especially during the winter months.
- Never use substandard fuel. Always use the fuel recommended by the manufacturer to protect the engine and maintain your car’s optimal performance.
Exterior care
Your car’s exterior has to be maintained diligently. The exterior of the car acts like your skin, protecting all the vital organs from external forces. So keeping the exterior clean and nourished can go a long way towards protecting the car’s vital parts.
- Wash your car regularly. When driving in the city or after a long drive, pollutants tend to settle on the car’s outer surface. This can lead to rusting if left unchecked.
- Polish and wax your car often. It will preserve your car’s paint job and thus prevent corrosion from setting in.
- Don’t ignore dents and scratches, however small they may be. If left unfixed, they can lead to rusting.
- Keep the wheels and tyres clean. Check for tyre pressure often and refill it when it gets low for your safety and to get good mileage for your car.
- Find a covered parking space for your car. It should be dry and well-ventilated. This will protect the car from the elements.
- If you can’t find a covered parking space, get a car cover that can protect against the damage incurred due to the weather.
Interior care
Keeping your car’s interior clean is a basic requirement that every car owner needs to fulfil. A smelly, unkempt, and chaotic interior can compromise your comfort while driving. Not to mention getting the interior redone can be an expensive affair, depending on the nature of the damage incurred.
- Never eat inside the car. If you happen to spill food or a drink, clean it immediately and air out the interiors to eliminate the smells.
- Smoking inside the car is also not advised. The smell of cigarettes is extremely difficult to eliminate.
- Vacuum and clean the insides of the car regularly. Use a car-friendly cleaning agent and a microfibre cloth to wipe down the hard surfaces and windows.
- Use floormats and seat covers to protect the floor and upholstery. Clean these accessories regularly and replace them when they become old.
- If the electrical equipment inside the car malfunctions, be sure to have it checked and repaired immediately.
