while climbing a steep hill, make a quick
shift to reverse and allow the vehicle to
move back with the control of engine com-
pression.
Descending Sharp Gradients
Depending on the severity of the gradient,
shift into appropriate gear. Use engine
braking judiciously without over-revving
the engine.
Brake application under such situations
should be done very.
STOPPING THE VEHICLE
Turn the key to ‘ACC’ position to switch off
the engine. Before switching off the en-
gine, run the engine in idle condition for at
least 30 seconds and then switch off. This
will allow the engine oil to lubricate the tur-
bocharger, till its speed is fully reduced
and also allow the unit to cool down.
BRAKING
Your vehicle has power assisted brakes.
The distance needed to bring the vehicle
to a halt increases with the speed of the
vehicle. Start applying brake anticipating
the distance and slow down gradually.
If you have driven for a long time in heavy
rain without braking, there may be a de-
layed reaction from the brakes when brak-
ing for the first time. This may also occur
after the vehicle has been washed.
Brake performance may become poor and
WARNING
When descending on sharp gradients,
NEVER turn the ignition key to the
‘OFF’ position. Emission control system
damage may result.
WARNING
A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely
no practical purpose, it wastes fuel and
can damage turbocharger.
WARNING
Do not switch the engine off when it is
running at high speed. This will lead to
premature turbocharger bearing wear.
WARNING
Never use the brake pedal as a •
footrest.
If you rest your foot on the brake •
pedal while driving, the braking sys-
tem can overheat. This increases
the stopping distance and can even
cause the braking system to fail.
There is a risk of an accident.
Never press the brake pedal and •
the accelerator pedal at the same
time.
