EMERGENCY AND BREAKDOWN ASSISTANCE

Towing
When towing a break down vehicle, cer-
tain precautions and procedures must
be taken to prevent damage to the vehi-
cle and/or components. Failure to use
standard
towing precautionary
measures when lifting or towing a break
down vehicle could result in an unsafe
operating condition.
To ensure proper towing and to prevent
accidental damage to your vehicle, take
help of a TATA MOTORS authorized
dealer or a commercial tow-truck ser-
vice.
NOTE
Make sure that the parking brake
is released; vehicle in neutral gear
position and steering wheel is un-
locked. The power steering func-
tions only when engine is running.
Hence, during towing the steering
efforts will be more.
WARNING

Never get under your vehicle af-
ter it has been lifted by a tow
truck.

For towing a vehicle, the best way
is to use a wrecker. Alternatively
use a rigid tow bar.

Switch 'ON' the hazard warning
indicators of both the vehicles to
warn other road users.

Limit the speed to
20-30
kmph.

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
vehicle could be damaged.

When towing, pull away slowly and
smoothly. If the tractive power is
too high, the vehicles could be
damaged.
