TOWING
Guidelines (Do’s & Don’ts)
When towing a break down vehicle, cer-
tain precautions and procedures must be
taken to prevent damage to the vehicle
and/or components. Failure to use stan-
dard towing precautionary measures when
lifting or towing a break down vehicle could
result in an unsafe operating condition.
To correctly tow and prevent accidental
damage to your vehicle, take help of a
TATA MOTORS authorized dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
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.
NOTE
Make sure that the parking brake is re-
leased
; vehicle is in neutral and steering
wheel is unlocked. The power steering
functions only when vehicle is running.
Hence, during towing the steering ef-
forts will be more.
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 wrecker. Alternatively use a
rigid tow bar.
Switch ‘ON’ the hazard warning in-
•
dicators 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 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.
