ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS)
ABS regulates brake pres-
sure in such a way that the
wheels do not lock when you
brake. This allows you to continue steering
the vehicle when braking.
The ABS warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up when the ignition is
switched on. It goes out when the engine
is running.
While Braking
If ABS intervenes: continue to press •
the brake pedal vigorously until the
braking situation is over.
To make a full brake application: 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.
WARNING
If ABS is faulty, the wheels •
could lock when braking. The steer
ability and braking characteristics
may be severely impaired. There is
an increased danger of skidding and
accidents.
Drive on carefully. Have ABS •
checked immediately at a TATA MO-
TORS 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 advan-
tage 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.
