BRAKING
Brakes :
The brake system on this vehicle
is an advanced vacuum assisted
hydraulic brake system, equipped
with:
Q
Brake booster : This assists the
driver in braking with an
ergonomic pedal force on brake
pedal;
Q
Tandem Master Cylinder, for fail
safe braking.
Q
Twin pot calipers, for efficient
energy absorption.
Q
LCRV - Load Conscious
Reducing Valve, to avoid rear
wheel locking in extreme load
condition.
Q
Auto adjusted rear brakes which
are designed for trouble free
performance.
The system is designed with an H
circuit, this has an advantage of
providing minimum braking even if
one circuit fails, however the pedal
will be harder to press and stopping
distance will increase. At the same
time brake indication light would
glow on dash board.
If you observe any abnormality with
the in brake system contact your
nearest TATA Motors authorized
workshop.
In case of failure of vacuum supply
to the brake booster the vehicle can
still be stopped with a higher pedal
effort. In case of vacuum failure or
brake circuit failure, slow down the
vehicle by shifting to a lower gear
and lifting your foot from the
accelerator pedal. Pull to the side
of the road as soon as it is safe.
CAUTION
Brake system failure is very
hazardous. It is best to have your
vehicle towed, but if you drive
the vehicle in this condition, be
extremely cautious.
Have your vehicle attended to
immediately.
Put your foot on brake pedal to
apply brake. But do not ride the
brakes as they may overheat and
reduce efficiency and
performance may be impaired.
The brake lights may confuse the
other road users behind you.
Use the engine to assist the brakes
by shifting to a lower gear and
lifting your foot from accelerator
pedal.
Constant application of brakes
while going down hill builds heat
and reduces braking efficiency.
Check your brakes after driving
through deep water. Apply the
brakes moderately to feel if they
are normal. If not, apply them
gently and frequently until they do.
With wet brakes you should be
extra cautious and alert in your
driving.
