After closing the door, your car’s headlights remain ON for
approximately 30 seconds to help you reach your destination
in the dark.
If the car’s headlamps remain ON for five minutes or more and
when switched off, ignition key removed and the door locked
or kept open, the headlamp’s Low-beam comes ON
automatically for approximately 30 seconds to help the car
occupant reach his / her destination safely. If, within 15 minutes,
the car is locked using a remote key, the headlamp will come
ON for a further 30 seconds. If the remote key is used again
within 15 minutes, this procedure is repeated. If the occupant
returns to the car within 15 minutes after last switching it off,
the headlamp again comes ON when the door is unlocked.

Night Driving
•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
•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.

Your car’s head lamps have H4 type halogen bulbs with twin
filaments, the “High beam” for illuminating the road for long
distances and the “Low beam” for short distance visibility.
The head lamps must be aligned properly for maximum road
illumination and reduced glare for oncoming traffic. The alignment
of head lamp beams should be checked periodically.
