STARTING & DRIVING THE CAR
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
smoothly to avoid loss of control. Select appropriate gear so that
gear changing or clutch disengagement is not involved while
descending the gradient.
Towing the Vehicle :
• For towing a car, the best way is to use a wrecker.
• Alternatively use a rigid tow bar.
• Avoid using a flexible cable or rope as your car may crash into the
car towing your car when it stops suddenly.
• Switch 'ON' the hazard warning signals of both the cars to warn
other road users.
• Where possible, keep the engine idling so that power steering
assistance and brake vacuum are available.
• Limit the speed to 20-30 kmph.
• In case of brake failure, use the parking brake to control the car.
