USING THE FLOOR JACK:
Use the jacks at the locations as shown in the
below.
Do not apply the jack against any part which may
get deformed.
If front end or rear end of the vehicle is to be
jacked ensure the wheels on ground and the
parking brake is applied.
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, keeps 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.
