5 common Tata Curvv EV faults — and how to fix each
1. Curvv EV not unlocking with proximity key
Step-by-step fix:
- The proximity sensor in the door handle is sensitive to phone-case magnets and EMI from public chargers.
- Move the keyfob into your other pocket.
- If still failing, the key battery (CR2032, ₹50) is likely depleted — last 12-14 months.

2. ADAS adaptive cruise dropping out on highways
Step-by-step fix:
- Radar behind the front grille fogs up in dense morning fog or after a car wash.
- Wait 5-10 mins for it to clear.
- If it never re-engages, the radar module needs realignment — workshop job.

3. Sunroof making creaking noise over speed bumps
Step-by-step fix:
- Known issue on early Curvv EVs — the rubber gasket dries out.
- Apply silicone spray (not WD-40) on the panoramic sunroof rails every 6 months.
✅ DIY-friendly with patience

4. Real-world range 15-20% below ARAI claim
Step-by-step fix:
- ARAI testing is at constant 40 km/h with no AC.
- Real-world Delhi summer driving with AC on, mixed traffic, will give 75-80% of ARAI figure.
- Plan to 80% of the rated 500km range — that's industry-standard.
✅ DIY-friendly with patience

5. Wireless Apple CarPlay disconnecting mid-drive
Step-by-step fix:
- iOS 17.4+ has a compatibility bug with Tata's head unit.
- Force-quit CarPlay on iPhone, restart car, reconnect via Bluetooth first then CarPlay.
- Wait for the next OTA firmware update for a permanent fix.
