Emergency Towing
If towing is necessary, we recommend you
contact the nearest Tata Motors authorised
EV dealer or EV service centre.
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 20
kmph).
In case of mechanised or flat bed towing
is not available, your vehicle can be tem-
porarily towed using a Cable, Chain, Tow
rope or rigid tow bar connected to the
emergency towing hook at the front of the
vehicle.
Tow Hook Fitment
Open the tailgate and remove tow •
hook from the tool kit.
Open the tow hook cover provided on •
the front bumper by pressing it at the
bottom part and simultaneously pulling
it at the top (as shown in fig). Screw in
and tighten the tow hook in clockwise
direction.
After towing, remove the towing hook •
and press fit the cover properly.
Place the towing hook in the vehicle •
tool kit.
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 or cable as imer-
gency.
Switch ‘ON’ the hazard warning in- •
dicators of both the vehicles to warn
other road users.
Limit the speed to 20 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 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.
