Anti-Lock Braking System (Abs) (If Equipped) - TATA Motors NEXON BSVI 2021 Owner's Manual

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS) (if equipped)
ABS regulates brake pres-
sure in such a way that the
wheels do not lock when
you brake. This allows you to continue
steering the vehicle when braking.
The ABS warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up when the ignition is
switched on. It goes off after 2-3 seconds
if system is healthy.
WARNING
• If ABS is faulty, the wheels could
lock when braking. The steer ability
and braking characteristics may be
severely impaired. There is an in-
creased danger of skidding and ac-
cidents.
• Drive on carefully. Have ABS
checked immediately at the TATA
MOTORS Authorized Service Cen-
tre as soon as possible.
While Braking
• In an emergency situation take your
foot off the accelerator and press the
brake pedal fully. This allows the ABS
to regulate braking for you and have
steering control along with maximum
possible braking.
• When ABS is active driver will feel
brake pedal pulsating and very low
motor (ABS) activation noise from en-
gine compartment which is nor-mal
during ABS braking.
WARNING
• On certain surfaces, such as gravel
or firm ground covered by snow, the
standard ABS system may have the
effect of increasing the stopping dis-
tance, but ABS will still offer the ad-
vantage of helping you to maintain
directional control of vehicle.
• However, remember that ABS will
not compensate for bad road or
weather conditions or poor driver
judgment. Drive within safety mar-
gin taking into consideration prevail
SAFETY
ing weather and traffic conditions.
