TOWING THE VEHICLE

Towing Guidelines:

If towing the vehicle is necessary the best method of

towing is by a flatbed tow vehicle. If a flatbed tow

vehicle is not available, use a dolly or a rigid tow bar.

Follow the additional points listed below:

1. Make sure the tow vehicle capacity is rated

sufficiently

2. Always use the hazard indicators when towing a

vehicle.

3. Avoid using a flexible cable or rope to tow the

vehicle, particularly when the engine cannot provide

power steering or brake assistance.

4. Where possible, keep the engine idling so that

power steering assistance and brake vaccum are

available.

5. Limit the speed to 20-30 kmph.

6. In case of brake failure, use the parking brake to

control the car.

7.

TATA MOTORS

has not rated Nano to tow other

vehicles or trailers. Do not use Nano for towing

purposes.

Recovery Points

CAUTION

The recovery / tow hook included in the vehicle

tool kit is for recovery and low-speed towing only.

Do not use the hook for long distance towing. Loss

of control and/or vehicle damage may occur if the

hook is used outside these guidelines.

Recovery points are located in the front and rear

bumpers of the vehicle. The vehicle tool kit contains a

recovery/tow hook that threads into the recovery point

at the front and rear bumpers. To access the rear

recovery point, pry the cover out of the bumper and

thread the hook into the hole at the recovery point.

• Use the hook to free the vehicle from mud, snow,

or to pull the vehicle onto a wrecker.

• Always remove the hook and return to the vehicle

tool kit when not in use.

Transporting the vehicle :

The towing eyes can be used to pull the vehicle onto

a trailer or transporter for transporting purposes.

To secure, only lash the vehicle down by the wheels

or tyres. Your vehicle could otherwise be damaged.
