DRIVING
BRAKING,STOPPING & PARKING (MT)
Braking :
The distance required to bring a car
to a halt increase with the speed of
the vehicle. The braking distance
needed for vehicle at 60 kmph will
be approximately 4 times greater
than the braking distance needed
at 30 kmph. Anticipate your stop,
slowdown gradually and apply
brake.
If water gets into the brake drums,
brake performance may become
poor and unpredictable. After driving
through water or washing the
underside of the vehicle, test the
brake while driving at slow speed to
see if they have maintained there
normal effectiveness. If the brakes
are less effective than normal, dry
them by repeatedly applying the
brake while driving slowly until the
brakes have regained their normal
effectiveness.
The booster type braking system is
provided in this vehicle. However, the
amount of braking effort required by
the driver to activate the brakes
would be lesser in the brake-
booster models.
Stopping :
Before switching off the engine, run
the engine in idle condition for at least
30 seconds and then switch ‘OFF’.
Turn the ignition key to ‘ACC’
position to stop the engine.
NOTE
The engine being at the rear of the
car, its sound characteristics are
unique compared to the other
vehicles.
Parking
Park the car in a safe place.
Apply the parking brake.
Ensure that all window glasses are
closed & all lamps are turned ‘OFF’
At night, put on the parking lights if
required.
WARNING
Do not leave the key inside the
car.
Do not leave children unattended
in the car.
Avoid parking the car over
inflammable materials, such as
dry leaves, grass etc., as the
exhaust system is hot enough to
initiate ‘FIRE’.
NOTE
When parking on a steep slope,
do not rely on the parking brake
alone to hold the vehicle. Leave
the vehicle parked with gear box
in low forward gear when facing
uphill and reverse gear when
facing downhill.
