SAFETY
ANTI- LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS): (If provided)
ABS allows braking without losing
tractional control, prevents wheels from
locking up and avoids uncontrolled
skidding.
NOTE
When ABS is active, the driver will
feel the brake pedal pulsating, which
is normal.
NOTE
If the ABS warning lamp lights up
then there is a malfunction in the
ABS system (the standard braking
system will however function) and the
vehicle should be driven cautiously
to the nearest TATA MOTORS
Authorized Service Centre only.
WARNING
The fact that a vehicle is fitted with
ABS must never tempt the driver into
taking risks that could affect his/her
22
safety or that of others. In all cases
it remains the driver's responsibility
to drive within safety margins,
taking into consideration prevailing
weather and traffic conditions.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DIS-
TRIBUTION (EBD) - if provided:
EBD optimizes braking pressure dis-
tribution between front and rear axle
to ensure vehicle stability.
ENGINE DRAG TORQUE CONTROL
(EDTC) - if provided:
On slippery road conditions during,
1. In- gear Braking or
2. Shift down of gear or
3. Sudden throttle release on a curve
road.
This causes high Engine drag on the
driven wheel resulting into brake slip
situations without any brake applica-
tion. This makes vehicle highly under-
steerable.
ABS, EBD, EDTC & CSC
EDTC controls such brake slip on the
driven wheels by increasing the engine
torque to makes the vehicle stable and
steerable.

CORNERING STABILITY CONTROL

(CSC) - if if provided:
"Corner stability Control" supports /
stabilizes vehicle during partial
braking in curves by reducing pressure
at required inner wheel of the vehicle.
This helps to reduce probability of
vehicle over steering during cornering.
