9.3 Brakes
Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes in the front and drum
brakes in the rear ( for XUV rear is also disc).
Disc brakes offer good braking capability and reduced stopping
distance. Wet brake discs result in reduced braking efficiency. After
a car wash or driving the vehicle through water, pump the brake
pedal mildly while driving to remove the film of water from the brake
pads.
Brake pads feature wear indicator. When the front brake pad is
worn, then there is an indication in the cluster; the brake lamp will
be ON (only in XUV). For all other vehicle the brake pads a metallic
squeal noise is heard indicating the pad wear. Have them replaced
immediately.
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous. Stopping distance
increases considerably when braking.
Dry the brakes by driving at very slow speed and applying the
brakes lightly until the brake performance becomes normal.
Even if the power assist (vacuum assistance) is completely lost,
the brakes will still work. The brake pedal would be much
harder than normal and the vehicle stopping / braking distance
will be longer than usual.
9.3.1 Parking on a Hill/Incline

wheels away from the kerb. If you have to park facing downhill,
select reverse gear and turn the front wheels towards the kerb.
