Abs - TATA Motors TIAGO Owner's Manual

SAFETY
NOTE
If the Air bag warning tell-tale on
the instrument cluster stays ON
while driving, there may be a prob-
lem with the Air bag system. Con-
tact TATA MOTORS Authorised Ser-
vice Centre.
In case of any frontal damage to
your vehicle or any maintenance
required to be performed should
be done by TATA MOTORS Author-
ised Service Centre only.
Do not permit anyone else to do
any service, inspection, mainte-
nance or repair on any SRS com-
ponents or wiring.
Improper work on the SRS system
will result in inadvertent deploy-
ment of the air bag or malfunction-
ing.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS) -
(if equipped)
ABS regulates brake pressure in such a
way that the wheels do not lock when
you brake. This allows you to continue
steering the vehicle when braking.
NOTE
When ABS is active, the driver will
feel the brake pedal pulsating,
which is normal.
WARNING
The stopping distance required for
vehicles with ABS may be slightly
more than conventional brake sys-
tem but ABS will still offer the ad-
vantage of helping you maintain di-
rectional control.
However, remember that ABS will
not compensate for bad road or
weather conditions or poor driver
judgment. Drive within safety mar-
gins, taking into consideration pre-
vailing weather and traffic condi-
tions.
NOTE
If the ABS warning lamp is ON
while driving then there is a mal-
function in the ABS system (the
standard braking system will how-
ever function) and the vehicle
should be driven cautiously to the
nearest TATA MOTORS Authorized
Service Centre.
Electronic brake force distribution
(EBD) - (if equipped)
EBD monitors and controls the brake
pressure on the wheels to improve driv-
ing stability while braking.
