Braking; Gear Modes - TATA Motors NEXON EV Owner's Manual

BRAKING

Your vehicle has disc brakes upfront and
drum brakes at the rear. The distance
needed to bring the vehicle to a halt in-
creases with the speed of the vehicle.
Start applying brake anticipating the dis-
tance and slow down gradually.
WARNING
• Do not use the brake pedal as a
footrest.
• If you rest your foot on the brake
pedal while driving, the braking sys-
tem can overheat. This increases
the stopping distance and can even
cause the braking system to fail.
There is a risk of an accident.
• Do not depress the brake pedal and
the accelerator pedal at the same
time.
If you have driven for a long time in heavy
rain without braking, there may be a de-
layed reaction from the brakes when brak-
ing for the first time. This may also occur
after the vehicle has been washed.
Brake performance may become poor and
unpredictable if brakes are wet.
After driving through water or washing the
underside of the vehicle, test the brakes
while driving at a slow speed to see if they
have maintained their normal effective-
ness. If the brakes are less effective than
normal, dry them by repeatedly applying
the brakes while driving slowly until the
brakes have regained their normal effec-
tiveness.
Braking On Downhill Gradients
On long and steep gradients, you must re-
duce the load on the brakes by lifting your
foot off the accelerator. This allows you to
take advantage of regenerative braking
and helps avoid overheating and exces-
sive wear of the brakes.
STARTING AND DRIVING

GEAR MODES

Neutral
Vehicle is in neutral gear position. This will
be indicated in instrument cluster.
Drive
Vehicle moves forward and 'D' will be indi-
cated in instrument cluster.
Sport
The acceleration is more when compared
to 'Drive' mode as the throttle response is
increased. It is indicated as 'S' in the in-
strument cluster.
