TOWING THE VEHICLE :
It is necessary to tow a break down
vehicle, certain precautions and
procedures must be taken to prevent
damage to the vehicle and/or compo-
nents. Failure to use standard towing
precautionary measures when lifting or
towing a disabled vehicle could result
in an unsafe operating condition.
To ensure proper towing and to
prevent accidental damage to your
vehicle, take help of a
TATA MOTORS
authorized dealer or a commercial
tow-truck service.
WARNING
•
Never 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
indicators of both the vehicles to
warn other road users.
•
Put the gearshift lever in the
NEUTRAL position.
•
Limit the speed to 20-30 kmph.
•
In case of brake failure, use the
parking brake to control the
vehicle.
•
Do not use flexible cable or rope
for towing as your vehicle may
crash into the towing vehicle,
when it applies sudden brake.
Recommended Towing :
We recommend that your vehicle be
towed with the driving wheels off the
ground or place the vehicle on a flat
bed truck as shown.
WARNING
•
Never tow your vehicle with the
front wheels on the ground or four
wheels on the ground (forward or
backward), as this may cause
serious and expensive damage to
the transmission.
•
When towing with the rear wheels
on the ground or on towing
dollies, place the ignition switch
in the ACC or ON position, and
secure the steering wheel in the
straight-ahead position with a rope
or similar device.
