ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS)
ABS regulates brake
pressure in such a way
that the wheels do not
lock when you brake.
This allows you to con-
tinue steering the vehicle when braking.
The ABS warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up when the ignition is
switched on. It goes off after a few sec-
onds if the system is healthy.
1. While Braking
If ABS intervenes: continue to de-press •
the brake pedal vigorously until the
braking situation is over.
To make a full brake application: de-
•
press the brake pedal with full force.
If ABS intervenes when braking, you will
feel a pulsing in the brake pedal. The pul-
sating brake pedal can be an indication of
hazardous road conditions, and functions
as a reminder to take extra care while driv-
ing.
2. Electronic Brake
Force Distribution
(EBD)
EBD monitors and con-
trols the brake pressure on the rear wheels
to improve driving stability while braking.
EBD provides optimal braking pressure
distribution between front and rear wheels
to optimize braking distance and to ensure
vehicle stability by means of lowering
braking pressure at rear wheels.
WARNING
If ABS is faulty, the wheels could •
lock when braking. The steer ability
and braking characteristics may be
severely impaired. There is an in-
creased danger of skid-ding and ac-
cidents.
Drive carefully. Have ABS checked
•
immediately at a TATA MOTORS
Authorized Service Centre as soon
as possible.
WARNING
The stopping distance required for •
vehicles with ABS may be slightly
more than conventional brake sys-
tem but ABS will still offer the ad-
vantage of helping you maintain
directional control.
However, remember that ABS will
•
not compensate for bad road or
weather conditions or poor driver
judgment. Drive within safety mar-
gins taking into consideration into
consideration prevailing weather
and traffic conditions.
WARNING
If EBD is malfunctions, the rear •
wheels can lock under full braking.
This increases the risk of skidding
and accidents.
You should therefore adapt your
•
driving style to the different handling
characteristics. Have the brake sys-
tem checked immediately at a TATA
MOTORS Authorized Service Cen
