SAFETY

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
(If equipped)
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 off after
2-3
sec-
onds if system is healthy.
WARNING

If ABS is faulty, the wheels could
lock when braking. The steer abil-
ity and braking characteristics
may be severely impaired. There
is an increased danger of skid-
ding and accidents.

Drive on carefully. Have ABS
checked immediately at the TATA
MOTORS Authorized Service Cen-
tre as soon as possible.
While Braking

In an emergency situation take your
foot off the accelerator and press the
brake pedal fully. This allows the ABS
to regulate braking for you and have
steering control along with maximum
possible braking.

When ABS is active driver will feel
brake pedal pulsating and very low
motor (ABS) activation noise from en-
gine compartment which is normal
during ABS braking.
WARNING

On certain surfaces, such as
gravel or firm ground covered by
snow, the standard ABS system
may have the effect of increasing
the stopping distance, but ABS
will still offer the advantage of
helping you to maintain direc-
tional control of vehicle.

However, remember that ABS will
not compensate for bad road or
weather conditions or poor driver
judgment. Drive within safety mar-
gin taking into consideration pre-
vailing weather and traffic condi-
tions.
