SAFETY
2
Driving through water
Do not drive through flooded areas.
Judge the depth of water before driving
through it. Otherwise, water may enter
the vehicle interior or the engine com-
partment.
If at all the situation demands that you
have to drive through water then;
Keep engine in higher RPM and crawl
the vehicle in low gear.
Flowing or rushing water creates
strong forces. Driving through flow-
ing water could cause the vehicle to
be carried away. Be very cautious
about trying to drive through flowing
water.
Lightly apply the brake pedal to dry
the liners until the brakes work nor-
mally once you are out of water.
WARNING
Do not attempt to start the engine
if vehicle gets flooded due to wa-
ter. Tow the vehicle to a safe place.
Contact a nearest TATA MOTORS
Authorised Service Centre.
Driving on a rainy day
Check wiper blades, lights and
brakes for proper functioning and
condition.
Check the tyre treads depth, the con-
dition of the tread and tyre.
Avoid harsh braking and sharp turns.
It may cause loss of control and lead
to a skid.
For slowing down, shift to lower gears
and brake gently.
Keep lights
‘ON’ if visibility is poor.
Driving through wet roads
On wet road or during light showers, “Aq-
uaplaning” can occur. “Aquaplaning” is
the loss of direct contact between the
road surface and the vehicle’s tires due
to a water film forming between them.
Steering or braking the vehicle can be
very difficult, and loss of control can oc-
cur.
There is no hard and fast rule about aq-
uaplaning. The best advice is to slow
down when the road is wet.
NOTE
If you have driven for a long time
in heavy rain without braking,
there may be a delayed reaction
from the brakes when braking for
the first time. You have to depress
the brake pedal more firmly. Main-
tain a greater distance from the
vehicle in front.
