Towing the Vehicle : Fig. 11.
l
For towing the best way is to use a wrecker.
Alternatively use a rigid tow bar.
l
Avoid using a flexible cable or rope as your
vehicle may crash into the towing vehicle when
it stops suddenly.
l
Switch ‘ON’ the hazard warning signals of both
the vehicles to warn other road users.
l
Where possible, keep the engine idling so that
power steering assistance and brake vacuum
are available.
l
Limit the speed to 20-30 Kmph.
l
In case of brake failure, use the parking brake
to control the vehicle.
l
Dirt / corroded terminals result in improper contact.
The terminals should be cleaned carefully.
l
Improper contact pressure between mating
terminals disturbs the connectivity between them.
l
Replace the damaged connector body to avoid
exposure of the terminals in case of inadequate
contact pressure.
l
Ensure proper connection between the terminal
to the wire. Rectify the loose connection by
repairing / replacing the wire harness (Fig. 10).
l
Worn out insulation of the wire may result in short
circuit.
l
Avoid water entering the connectors.
