Emergency Towing
If towing is necessary, we recommend you
contact the nearest Tata Motors authorised
EV dealer or service centre. In case of an
emergency situation when towing is not
available, your vehicle can be temporarily
towed using a cable or chain connected to
the emergency towing hook at the front of
the vehicle.
To avoid serious damage to your EV, do
not flat tow it. In an emergency situation,
use extreme caution when towing the ve-
hicle with a cable or chain. A driver must
be in the vehicle to steer and operate the
brakes. Towing, in this case, should be
done only on hard surfaced roads for a
short distance at low speeds (max
20kmph).
FUSES
Your vehicle has fuse boxes at three loca-
tions.
The vehicles electrical circuits have fuses
to protect the wiring from short circuits or
sustained overload.
Battery mounted fuse box 1.
Motor Compartment Fuse Box. 2.
Cabin Compartment Fuse Box. 3.
WARNING
Do not get under your vehicle after •
it has been lifted by a tow truck.
For towing a vehicle, the best way is •
to use a flat bed truck. Alternatively
use a rigid tow bar.
Switch ‘ON’ the hazard warning in- •
dicators of both the vehicles to warn
other road users.
Limit the speed to 20-30kmph. •
In case of brake failure, use the •
parking brake to control the vehicle.
Fasten the tow rope or tow bar at •
the towing eyes. Otherwise, the ve-
hicle could be damaged.
When towing, pull away slowly and •
smoothly. If the tractive power is too
high, the vehicles could be dam-
aged.
