TIPS FOR HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT
The following tips shall ensure a healthy vehicle, healthy environment, and a healthy you.
• Healthy engine: The engine is the lifeline of every vehicle. To keep it healthy, it should be
tuned regularly, which will also help reduce pollution and improve vehicle performance &
fuel efficiency.
• Regular servicing: Get your vehicle serviced at an Authorised Distributor/Dealer, as per
the service schedule, for an optimum performance and keep the emission level under check.
• Genuine spares: Always insist on genuine parts as spurious or incompatible spares
and accessories can upset or deteriorate your vehicle’s running condition.
• Genuine engine oil: Hero 4T Plus SAE 10W 30 SL grade (JASO MA2) engine oil
recommended by HMCL Niloy Bangladesh Ltd. and make sure you change it every 6000
km. (with top up every 3000 kilometres) to keep the engine fit and environment healthy.
• Noise pollution: Noise beyond a certain decibel is pollution. Whether it is from horns or
defective mufflers, excessive noise will cause headaches and discomfort.
• Fuel saving & reduce pollution: Switch "OFF" the engine while waiting at traffic signal
points to save fuel and reduce pollution, if the waiting period is long.
• BS-VI grade fuel : Always use BS-VI grade fuel to adhere BS-VI norms (page 25).

BRAKING
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
This model is equipped with Anti-lock braking
system (ABS). ABS enhances active safety by
helping to prevent the wheels from locking
under braking.
ABS is designed to meet two essential
requirements during every brake application:
• To help provide vehicle stability.
• To help maintain steering control and 3
manoeuvrability–on road surfaces. (3) ABS indicator
The ABS system is self-regulating and The system has a wheel speed sensor (1),
always active once vehicle speed exceeds hydraulic electronic control unit (HECU) (2),

speed of the wheels and supply incorrect wheel and sends the input to Hydraulic
information to the ABS computer. Electronic control unit (HECU). Then
2 HECU monitors your bike and takes control
when vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h.
Now whenever you will apply front brake,
ABS will come into picture and based on the
input from wheel speed sensor, HECU will
modulate the pressure at front caliper thus
avoiding wheel to lock and in turn resulting
