Not Recommended Seating Position
NOTE
All images are for reference purpose only.
WARNING
- Never place your arm over the airbag as a deploying airbag can result in serious arm fractures or other injuries.
- Do not place or stick any item/s in the vehicle, except at designated locations (such as utility bins, cup/bottle holders, Boot space etc). Loose items may act as a projectile during a collision and cause severe to fatal injuries.
- Please be aware that any unsecured item in your vehicle, such as your pet, unsecured CRS or a lap-top, can become a potential hazard in the event of a collision or sudden stop, causing injuries to occupants in the vehicle.
- Coat hooks (if provided), must be used only for that purpose. Never hang heavy items on to those hooks. This may lead to severe to fatal injuries.
- ALWAYS contact your TATA MO-TORS authorised service centre if the vehicle is damaged, even if airbag has not inflated.
- ALWAYS contact your TATA MO-TORS authorised service centre if any part of an airbag module cover shows sign of cracking or damage.
WARNING
If your SRS malfunctions, the Airbag may not inflate properly during a collision thereby increasing risk of serious injury or death. If any of the following conditions occur, your SRS is mal-functioning:
- The SRS warning lamp does not turn ‘ON’ when the ignition switch is placed in the ‘ON’ position for few seconds.
- The SRS warning lamp stays ‘ON’ after illuminating
- The SRS warning lamp comes ‘ON’/stays ‘ON’ while the vehicle is in motion.
- The SRS warning lamp blinks when the engine is running.
We recommend the customer to immediately visit TATA MOTORS authorised service centre and get the SRS system inspected if any of the above conditions occur.
WARNING
- Never make any modifications to your vehicle. The modifications carried out, but not limited to the vehicle frame, bumpers, front fenders, ride height, suspension, seat belts, interior trims, steering wheel (especially holders), are not acceptable. This will affect the intended performance of SRS system.
- Fitment of bull bars is strictly prohibited, unless authorised by TATA MO-TORS. This will affect the intended performance of SRS system.
- If you need to make any modifications to accommodate any disability you may have, please contact your Authorized TATA MOTORS Dealer for necessary guidance.
- Do not tamper with SRS in any way. This will lead to unexpected performance of system and may cause serious injury or death.

Airbags Deployment Conditions
When front airbags (if equipped) should not deploy?
Minor frontal collision:
Seat belt (if worn) offers adequate occupant protection in low severity collisions. The airbags are triggered only when there is a collision severe enough to trigger the airbags. Deployment of frontal airbags is not beneficial in low severity collisions.
Side collision:
During a side collision, occupants tend to move sideways. There-fore, deploying frontal airbags in such situations will not benefit the occupants.
Rear collision:
During a rear collision, occupants tend to move (rearwards) away from frontal airbags. Therefore, deploying frontal airbags in such situations will not benefit the occupant protection. Head restraints and seat belts provide occupant protection during a rear collision.
Rollovers collision:
During a rollover collision, unbelted occupants may float inside the passenger compartment. This will in-crease the risk of injuries and may prove to be fatal. Wearing seat belts provide highly effective occupant protection during rollover collision. Front airbags are not de-signed to deploy in a rollover as frontal airbags cannot offer any protection in rollover collision.
When front airbags deploy with minor or no visible vehicle damage?
The airbags are triggered only when there is a collision severe enough to trigger the airbags. The extent of vehicle damage is not always the correct indicator for airbag deployment. In some extreme/rare conditions; of rough road driving, running into a curb or hitting other fixed objects; the airbags may deploy depending upon the severity of collision. In some of these conditions, damage to the vehicle may be minor or not be readily visible.
When front airbags not deploy, even with exterior visible vehicle damage?
The airbags are triggered only when there is a collision severe enough to trigger the airbags. The amount of visible vehicle damage is not always the correct indicator for airbag deployment. Some collisions can result in visible damage but no airbag deployment because the airbags would not have been needed or would not have provided protection even if they had deployed.
Seat belts, if worn, offer adequate occupant protection in such cases.
