•Dip the head lamp for oncoming traffic during night driving.
•Maintain a speed such that you can stop within illuminated distance of head lamps.
•Use head lamp main/dip beam to alert other road users on turns/cross roads etc.
•Use side indicators for lane change or turning.
•Put on hazard warning switch in case of hazardous parking or if your vehicle is disabled
to warn the passing traffic.
Climbing Sharp Gradients on Loose Surfaces Climbing Sharp Gradients on Loose SurfacesClimbing Sharp Gradients on Loose Surfaces Climbing Sharp Gradients on Loose Surfaces
Climbing Sharp Gradients on Loose Surfaces
•Select the 4L mode, start off smoothly in any suitable gear. Apply power smoothly so
that there is no loss of traction by over-revving of the engine.
•Choose as smooth a slope as possible and select the appropriate gear so that gear
changing in the middle of the climb is not required.
Changing gears in the middle of the climb can cause loss of momentum and engine
stalling. Shifting to lower gear has to be done cautiously to avoid loss of traction.
•Under no conditions should the vehicle be moved diagonally across a hill. The danger
is in loss of traction and sideways slippage, possibly resulting in tipping over. If
unavoidable, choose as mild an angle as possible and keep the vehicle moving.
•If the wheels start to slip within few feet of the end of the climb, motion can be
maintained by swinging the steered wheels left and right, thereby providing increased
grip.
•If the vehicle stalls or losses headway while climbing a steep hill, make a quick shift to
reverse and allow the vehicle to move back with the control of engine compression.

•Select the 4L mode and 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.

•For towing the vehicle, the best way is to use a recovery van.
•Alternatively use a rigid tow bar.
•Avoid using flexible cable or rope as your vehicle may crash into towing vehicle when
it stops suddenly.
•Switch ‘ON’ Hazard warning switch to warn the other road users.
•Keep the engine in idling so that power steering assistance is available. This will also
built the vacuum for the brakes.
•In case of brake failure, use parking brake to control the vehicle.
