Poor Adjustment 18 Y ADJUSTABLE HEADRESTRAINT Good Adjustment Y O U R Seat-belt precautions for Baby, small child, Pregnant woman and injured person : TATA MOTORS strongly urges that the driver and passengers in the vehicle be properly restrained at all times with the seat-belts. Failure to do so could increase the chance of injury and / or the severity of injury in accidents. Baby or Small Child : Use child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat-belts. If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s seat-belt. Also use the seat-belt while the child is in the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. Child restraint systems are available. TATA MOTORS recommend the use of a type which fits to your vehicle. Before installation, always read the manufacturer’s instructions. S A F E T Y SEAT-BELT PRECAUTIONS Pregnant Woman : TATA MOTORS recommends the use of a seat-belt. Ask your doctor for specific recommendations. The lap belt should be worn securely and as low as possible over the hips and not to waist. Injured person : TATA MOTORS recommends the use of a seat-belt for injured person. Depending on the injury, first check with your doctor for specific recommendations. 19 Y O U R S A F E Backrest Position To get the maximum protection from the seat belts, the back of the seat should be in an upright position. If you recline the backrest, you reduce the protective capability of the seat belt. Door Locks Lock the vehicle doors when in motion. Doors are designed to remain closed and stay unlocked in accident. This is to facilitate out siders to open doors and evacuate occupants in the event of an accident. Child Lock Seat backrest reclining lever This is provided on both rear doors and tailgate. Push down the lock tab before closing the door. Now the door can not be opened by the children from inside. Locked doors can be opened only by using the respective door outer handles. Childlock 20 T Y DOOR LOCKS Y O U R S A F E T Y AUDIO WARNING, COLLAPSIBLE STEERING AND AIR BAGS (IF FITTED) Audio Warning : Collapsible Steering Column Seat Belt Reminder (Beeper and tell-tale indicator) The steering column of TATA SAFARI is of collapsible type. During normal operation it works as a solid one piece column and takes all the steering efforts effectively. In case of frontal impact, the intermediate tube connecting upper and lower part of the column will collapse.This will prevent the steering column from protruding in the driver cabin and avoid injury to the driver. When the key is in ignition position & driver's seat belt is not fastened, you get an audio warning as well as tell-tale indication in cluster, indicating seat belts are not fastened. The beeper will go off automatically after a few seconds, but the tell-tale indicator will remain on as long as seat belts is not fastened. Door Open Warning Prior to driving, ensure that all the doors are properly closed. If any one of the doors is partially open, the door open indicator will come on. In addition to this, in case driver side door is not properly closed an audio beep will come for few seconds, when the key is inserted. Head Lamps ‘ON’ Reminder While leaving the vehicle (key out), if the head lamps are left on and driver door is opened, you will get an audio warning to remind you to put off the head-lamps. This beeper will go off after a few seconds or immediately if the head lamps are switched off. 21 Y O U R S Air Bags (If Fitted) SRS (Supplementary Restraint System) Your vehicle is fitted with an air bag for the driver, located in the steering wheel, and a passenger air bag (if fitted) is located above the glove box compartment. Airbag(s) can be identified by the “SRS AIR BAG” label on the airbag cover. The airbag is a supplementary restraint system and is designed to provide effective protection to the belted occupants during frontal collisions. The air bag system is not visible until it is activated.The activation depends upon the severity and direction of frontal collisions. Airbags are not designed to activate in rollover, rear and side collisions. Operation Sensors in the ECU detect the frontal collision severity. The air bag(s) are designed to deploy only if the collision matches the criteria for deployment. • The sensor switches close the circuit and the propellant rapidly burns in a container producing gases, which fill the airbag. • The inflating airbag deploys out of the steering wheel in the front of the driver and passenger air bag (if fitted) deploys out of the dashboard in front of the passenger. This action takes place in a fraction of a second. 22 A F E T Y AIR BAGS (IF FITTED) Y O U R • The bag(s) deflate as the gas escapes through the vent holes in the airbag cushion. • Airbag(s) will only deploy with the ignition switch in “ON” position. Immediately after air bag inflation, you may notice fairly loud noise, dust or smoke and smell of the burnt propellant.This is NORMAL. CAUTION • Air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch after inflation. • The smoke could cause breathing problems for people with a history of asthma or other breathing trouble. If such case occurs after deployment of air bag, get fresh air promptly. • Always wear seat belts. The wearing of seat belts is required even when the air bag is fitted. Air bags do not replace the seat belts. The importance of wearing seat-belts : It will help to keep you in the proper position when the airbag inflates. Reduce the risk of injuries in any collision. Reduce the risk of being thrown out from your vehicle in a collision. • • • S A F E T Y AIR BAGS (IF FITTED) The importance of being properly seated : In a collision, the airbag inflates extremely quickly, faster than blink of an eye and with great force. If you are too close to an inflating air bag, it could seriously injure you. Move your seat as far back as possible to allow room for air bag inflation. Never install any child restraint in the front seat where the passenger air bag is fitted, as serious injury or death may result from the force of the inflating front passenger air bag. The rear seat is safest place for the children. • • Never place any object in front of you while you are seated in the front seat as it may result an injury from the object when it is forced towards you by the inflating air bag. Do not cover the steering wheel or instrument panel with an object which may prevent the proper deployment of the air bag. • Where a passenger air bag is fitted, front passenger should never sit on the edge of the seat, stand near the glove box compartment, rest feet or other parts of the body on the dash board or lean over near the glove compartment when the vehicle is moving. Passenger should also not recline the seat backwards such that the passenger goes beyond the protection range of airbags. 23 Y O Air bag warning light : U R S SRS The diagnostic system continually monitors the readiness of the SRS AIR BAG while the vehicle is being driven.The air bag warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate for approximately 5 seconds when the ignition is switched on. This is normal and indicates the system is performing a self check. The following components are monitored by the indicator. Airbag control module - ECU Driver airbag Passenger air bag (If fitted) Retractor Pre-tensioners. All related wiring. Air bag maintenance and servicing : If the warning light does not illuminate when ignition is switched on, or remains illuminated after the initial check period of 5 seconds or flashes during driving, indicates fault with air bag and seat belt pre-tensioner and it should be checked by an authorized TATA MOTORS DEALER immediately. The air bag warning light does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned on. The air bag warning light illuminates while driving. • • • • • • • 24 A F E T Y AIR BAGS (IF FITTED) If the air bag system is not attended to when a warning is given, it will not function properly in the event of collision, or it may deploy unexpectedly. The air bag system fitted to your vehicle does not require regular maintenance. NOTE : 1. Any maintenance on or near the SRS components must be performed only by an authorized TATA MOTORS dealer. Do not permit anyone else to do service, inspection, maintenance or repair on any SRS components or wiring. Similarly, no part of the SRS system should ever be handled or disposed of by anyone except an authorized TATA MOTORS dealer. Improper work on the SRS system will result inadvertent deployment of the air bag or could render the SRS system inoperative.This could also lead to personal injury. 2. Do not modify your steering wheel or any other SRS components, For example replacement of steering wheel or modifications to the steering column, front bumper, body or frame structure can adversely affect the SRS performance and lead to possible injury. 3. If your vehicle has received any front end damage, you should have the SRS system inspected by an authorized TATA MOTORS dealer to ensure it is in proper working order. Y O U R The air bag will inflate only once. The inflated air bag system will not function again and steering wheel with air bag module, steering column, seat belts and control module must be replaced immediately. If passenger airbag is fitted, air bag assembly, Air bag cover, Seat belts and dash panel must be replaced. If they are not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision. • • S A F E T Y AIR BAGS & ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (IF FITTED) Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the airbag system, tampering will result in activation of the system and increase the risk of personal injury. For servicing the air bag system, see your authorized Tata Motors dealer. Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when cleaning the steering wheel or instrument panel to avoid contamination of the air bag system. Wiping with a damp cloth only is recommended. CAUTION • • In case of vehicle ownership transfer, Tata Motors recommends the owner to inform the new owner about the presence of Supplementary Restraint System in the vehicle and also advises for reading the relevant sections in the owner’s manual. Prior to scrapping the vehicle, owner should bring the vehicle to the authorized Tata Motors dealer for safe dismantling of supplementary restraint system. Anti-lock braking system : (if fitted) The Anti-lock braking system is installed to avoid wheel locking during abnormal braking conditions. Please refer ABS in ‘DRIVING’ chapter for detailed information. Air bags and Bull bars: TATA Motors do not guarantee the design intent performance of the supplementary restraint system incase a bull bar is fitted to the vehicle or the front structure is modified in any way. 25 26 D R I V I N G This section provides information about various mechanical controls and electrical displays that help you while driving.

How Ultrasonic Reverse Guiding system work: Switch on the ignition; display in the IRVM will blink once indicating the system is healthier. On engaging the gear in reverse at speed less than 5 Kmph. systems will get activated automatically. When the obstacle comes in the sensing zone, system start giving audio & visual indication depending upon distance from spare wheel cover. Lesser the distances of obstacle from spare wheel cover shorter will be the interval between the beeps. 65 64a C O M F O R T A N D C O N V E N I E N C E REVERSE GUIDING SYSTEM SENSING RANGES AND RELATIVE INDICATION ON LCD ARE AS FOLLOWS : • Obstacle at above 1.3 M - No indication • Obstacle between 1.3 M – 1 M - Green Zone, Slow beep • Obstacle between 1 M – 0.6 M - Amber Zone, Fast beep • Obstacle between 0.6 M – 0.3 M - Red Zone, Continuous beep with STOP display. NOTE: In some cases, the display may not be as same as the reality due to the obstacle shape, reflection condition, technical limitation of the sensor etc. Some examples are given.

Braking system is vacuum assisted to reduce effort needed on the brake pedal. It is a dual circuit service brake system designed in such a way that one circuit will always work, even if other circuit fails. If this happens you will immediately notice that the brake pedal goes down much farther and you need to press the pedal harder. In such an event the stopping distance may be longer. In case of failure of vacuum the vehicle can still be stopped with a higher pedal effort. In case of vacuum failure or brake circuit failure, slow down the vehicle by shifting to lower gear and lifting your foot from the accelerator pedal. Pull to the side of the road as soon as it is safe. CAUTION Brake system failure is very hazardous. It is best to have your vehicle towed, but if you drive the vehicle in this condition, be extremely cautious. V I N G BRAKES AND ABS (IF FITTED) Have your vehicle attended immediately. Put your foot on brake pedal to apply brake. Do not ride the brakes as they may overheat and the performance may be impaired. The brake lights may confuse the drivers behind you. Use engine to assist the brakes by shifting to a lower gear and lifting your foot from accelerator pedal. Constant application of brakes while going down the hill builds heat and reduces braking efficiency. Check your brakes after driving through deep water. Apply the brakes moderately to feel that they are normal. If not, apply them gently and frequently until they do. With wet brakes you should be extra cautious and alert in your driving. Anti Lock Brake System (ABS) – if fitted ABS combined with the traditional hydraulic brake system prevents the wheel from locking while braking by make use of most of road to tyre grip. It also ensures better control and stability of car while braking. How ABS works ABS essentially consists of an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) which reads signals from the sensors fitted to each wheel and identifies the one which is likely to lock. ( Wheels will tend to 79 D R I lock when the speed of rotation of any one wheel becomes too low in relation to the vehicle speed.) It actuates an Electro Hydraulic Control Unit (HU) to reduce, maintain or increase the pressure on the brake control cylinder in order to prevent the wheel from locking. The ABS comes into play when the car is braked heavily during emergency. The driver feels the effort of the ABS through the pulsating of the brake pedal and audible noise in the brake system. This is absolutely Normal. This should not be interpreted as a fault in the brakes. On the contrary it’s the indication that the ABS is working. This is an intentional warning to the driver that a wheel or wheels are tending to lock up due to the limit of tyre to road adhesion. In this situation it is important to keep the brake pedal depressed fully so that the ABS can regulate the brake application. On No account pump the brake pedal The ABS is addition to the basic brake system. It is activated automatically every time the engine is started. If there is a malfunction the system turns off automatically indicated by a ‘(ABS)’ warning lamp on the dash board, still the ordinary brake system continues to work. 80 V I N G ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ABS Activation ABS activation varies with various road surfaces i.e. the amount of traction your tyre have on a particular surface. On dry surface you will need more pedal effort to activate ABS. However you may feel ABS activates immediately if you try to stop on snow, ice or slippery surface. ABS Indicators ABS The ABS is self check. If any thing goes wrong the ABS warning indicator comes on the instrument panel. When you switch on the Ignition the ABS light turns ON but should go out after about 5 seconds. If the light fails to go or the lighting up of the warning light when the engine is running or the light comes at any other time, it indicates there is a fault in the ABS only. In this case also the normal braking system is still effective and is able to provide normal stopping ability. We recommend taking the vehicle to the nearest dealer and inspecting your car as soon as possible if the warning light stays on. D R Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) indicator I V I 3) ABS does not reduce either time or stopping distance, It only helps steering control during braking.You should always keep a safe distance from other vehicles. 4) ABS will not prevent skidding of a car that results from changing direction abruptly such as trying to take a corner too fast or making a sudden lane change. 5) ABS cannot prevent a loss of stability due to severe or sharp steering wheel movement. Always steer moderately while braking hard. 6) ABS requires a little longer stopping distance than a vehicle with conventional brake system on a loose or uneven surface, such as gravel or snow. Slow down and allow a safe following distance. 7) ABS serves to increase your control over the car not to enable you to go faster. Safety tips while driving with ABS 1) 2) During a hard braking or when the road grip is poor, you will feel the brake pedal is pulsating and an audible noise in the system. This is absolutely Normal and it’s the indication that your ABS is rapidly pumping the brakes. Do not release the brake pedal, this defeats the purpose of ABS. Keep firm steady pressure on the brake pedal so as not to interrupt the braking action as long as you steer away from the hazard. G distance. ABS If the ABS and the brake system indicator light comes together even after the parking brake is fully released, then the Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) i.e. the front to rear brake force distribution system is also not working. This will lead to the rear wheel lock while braking. Avoid sudden hard braking and take the car immediately to the nearest dealer to fix the system. N ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ABS prevents the wheel from locking but it does not increase actual tyre to road grip. Hence even if your car is fitted with ABS, maintain a safe following 81 D R I V I N G TRANSFER CASE, AUTOMATIC HUB LOCK & LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL Transfer Case and Transfer Case Selector Electric Switch (If fitted) On four wheel drive vehicles transfer case is fitted after the gear box for driving front live axle along with rear axle. The following 3 selector positions are provided on the knob. 2H - Only two rear wheels are driven and transfer case operates at 1:1 ratio. 4H - All four wheels are driven and transfer case operates at 1:1 ratio. 4L - All four wheels are driven and transfer case operates at 2.48:1 speed reduction ratio. Automatic Hub Locks While driving in 2H mode this mechanism on the front axle hub allows the hub to free wheel. This avoids the unnecessary spinning of front drive components and results in fuel saving, reduced noise and longer component life. As soon as 4H or 4L mode is selected the hub gets automatically connected to front drive line to increase the traction. Limited Slip Differential (Standard on 4x4 and optional on others) A standard differential delivers torque equally to each wheel. In case one wheel loses traction and begins to spin, the differential distributes the rotary speed unequally but with same torque. This can cause the wheel with good traction to slow down or stop while the wheel which lost traction rotates with increased speed. Such a situation can prevent the vehicle from moving. 4X4 Selector Switch Automatic Hub Lock For driving in 2H mode keep the selector knob in 2H position. (*For 4 WD model only) 82 The limited slip differential provided in the rear axle takes care of such situations. The clutch lock arrangement provided internally, ensures that in case one wheel loses traction and begins to slip, a locking action takes place which prevents differential action and both wheels turn at the same speed. D R I V I N G LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVING Thus unnecessary spinning of one wheel is avoided and torque is transmitted to both wheels, thus assisting the vehicle to traverse loose terrain. However during normal driving, the differential action takes place in the same manner as in a standard differential. 1. Four Wheel Drive Operation In 2-H mode, only the rear two wheels of the vehicle are powered by the engine and the front wheels are merely pushed. By shifting to four wheel drive mode (4H or 4L) the rear as well as the front axles get geared to the engine through transfer case and transmit the engine power to all four wheels. This gives the vehicle increased traction. In 4H mode, the transmitted engine torque and vehicle speed remain the same as in 2H. However, when you shift to 4L mode engine torque is multiplied and vehicle moves at low speed in the same gears with increased traction. 4L mode is provided for negotiating sharp gradients or driving through loose soil/sand. 2. Shifting from 2H to 4H Turn the selector knob from 2H to 4H position. 4H indicator on instrument panel will light up. Changing from 2H to 4H can be done at any speed upto 65 km/h (40 mph). No pressing of clutch pedal is required. 3. Shifting from 4H to 2H Turn the selector knob from 4H to 2H position. 4H indicator on instrument panel will go off. Changing from 4H to 2H can be done at any speed upto 65 km/h (40 mph). No pressing of clutch pedal is required. Free Wheeling of Front Hub After shifting from 4H to 2H, for effecting free wheeling of front wheels, direction of vehicle motion needs to be changed. If the vehicle was moving forward in 4H then bring it to halt and engage reverse gear of main gear box. (If it was moving reverse in 4H mode then stop it, and then engage forward gear of main gear box.) After stopping and changing the gear the vehicle must travel in opposite direction for a minimum of three meters, before free wheeling takes place. 4. Shifting from 4H to 4L Stop the vehicle. Press clutch pedal. Turn the selector knob from 4H to 4L position. 4L indicator light on instrument panel will blink few times and remain on. 5. Shifting from 4L to 4H Stop the vehicle. Press clutch pedal. Turn the selector knob from 4L to 4H position. 4H indicator light on instrument panel will blink few times and will remain on. 83 D R I NOTICE Do not engage four wheel drive mode (4H or 4L) continuously on dry and hard road surface. It can cause expensive damage to the vehicle transmission and the tyres. Four wheel drive facility is a powerful tool which enables the vehicle to traverse terrain which is otherwise inaccessible to two wheel drive vehicles. However, it must be used judiciously and carefully. Do not take unnecessary risks and attempt the impossible. Familiarise yourself thoroughly with the vehicle and its abilities before attempting serious off road driving. With ignition ‘ON’ 4H & 4L indicator lamp on panel should glow for a few seconds only & then go off. Continuous illumination of 4L & 4H lamps indicates electrical fault. Fuel Economy A. Drive smoothly, accelerate gradually and anticipate stops. B. Best fuel consumption is achieved at low engine speeds, the highest possible gear without labouring the engine. C. Driving with accelerator pedal fully depressed means using excessive fuel. 84 V I N G FUEL ECONOMY D. Do not allow engine to labour. Change to lower gear when engine no longer runs smoothly. E. If possible, do not idle the engine for more than 2 minutes. Switch off the engine. F. Do not ride the clutch OR brake pedal while driving. Do not use clutch pedal as foot rest. G*.When changing from 4H/4L to 2H of transfer case, 2H free wheeling should be done. If 2H free wheeling is not done the hub locks of front hub remain locked causing unnecessary rotation of front drive components and this consumes more fuel and causes wear and tear of front axle components. H. Depending on traffic conditions, a constant speed should be maintained. The vehicle uses more fuel, every time you speed up or slow down. I. Hard braking, abrupt cornering and rapid acceleration use more fuel. Avoid these. J. Do not carry unnecessary weight in the vehicle. K. Maintain moderate speed limits, while driving. L. Always ensure that front wheel alignment is proper. (*For 4 WD model only.) D R I V I Driving on Snowy or Icy Roads Maintain a safe distance between vehicles to avoid sudden braking and slow down by shifting down the gears. Avoid sudden acceleration, braking or turning. Such sharp manoeuvers can cause loss of traction and thereby loss of vehicle control. Driving on Sandy or Muddy Roads In case the traction on the wheels is sufficient, you may be able to proceed in 4H mode. However in case change in road conditions are anticipated, it is better to select the 4L mode. Shift the selector knob to 4L position by following the correct procedure and proceed in the normal manner. Your vehicle will move at a slower pace with higher engine RPM in the same gear because of the 4L mode. To match your power and speed requirements, you can shift up in any of the 5 forward gears or the reverse gear. G NOTICE You may choose to reduce the tyre pressure marginally for additional grip on loose surfaces, though with a slight loss of ground clearance. Set the selector knob to 4H position. Gently release the clutch and apply the accelerator for a smooth start and to avoid wheel spin. CAUTION Use of snow tyres and / or tyre chain is recommended. N DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS • • • Try to maintain a constant engine speed and avoid sudden acceleration which can cause wheel spin and loss of traction, possibly leading to bogging down of the vehicle. If the vehicle gets stuck in loose sand, do not keep on accelerating as the wheel spin will only result in the wheels sinking deeper. The extent of muddy / sandy, conditions and the traction available is difficult to judge and the vehicle can get bogged down deeply. Operation should be done at slow speed only. If possible, get down and check the path conditions before proceeding. 85 D R I V I Driving Through Water • • • Never venture to drive through water when it flows over guard stones. Engine may get seriously damaged if attempted to cross over through deep water. If at all the situation demands that you have to drive through water then; - Keep engine in fast idling and crawl the vehicle in low gear. - After driving through water apply brakes several times to dry liners and to regain original braking. Do not attempt to start the engine if vehicle gets flooded due to water. Tow the vehicle to a safe place. Take the vehicle to nearest AUTHORISED Workshop to check entry of water in cylinders. It will also be necessary to replace lubricants of engine, gearbox, transfer case, front axle and rear axle if water has entered. Get the starter and alternator checked. Driving on a Rainy Day • • • • • • • • • • 86 N G DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS Check brakes, steering and windows. Check tyres for wear and tyre pressure. Check wiper blades for proper functioning. Avoid harsh braking and sharp turns. It may cause loss of control and lead to a skid. For slowing down, shift to lower gears and brake gently. Keep lights ON if visibility is poor. D R I V I N G DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS 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. 87 D R I V I N Descending Sharp Gradients • • Select the 4L mode and depending on the severity of the gradient, shift into appropriate gear. Use engine braking judiciously without over-revving the engine. Brake application under such situations should be done very smoothly to avoid loss of control. Select appropriate gear so that gear changing or clutch disengagement is not involved while descending the gradient. Towing the Vehicle For towing the vehicle, the best way is to use a recovery van. Alternatively use a rigid tow bar. Avoid using flexible cable or rope as your vehicle may crash into towing vehicle when it stops suddenly. Switch ‘ON’ Hazard warning switch to warn the other road users. Keep the engine in idling so that power steering assistance is available. This will also built the vacuum for the brakes. In case of brake failure, use parking brake to control the vehicle. • • • • • • Roof Rail The provision for mounting roof racks is made on the vehicle. This can be done with the help of roof and roof header mouldings provided above the rear fixed glass. The max. load on this including roof rack load should not exceed 100 kg. 88 G DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS 1 2 1. Front Tow Hook 2.

It is strongly recommended that all the car occupants should always wear seat-belt, while car is in motion. WARNING If the vehicle is fitted with air bags, the air bag is a supplementary restraint system and can only provide intended protection when the seat-belts are worn. For maximum safety in any collision a seat-belt must be worn. Influence of Alcohol Avoid driving under the influences of alcohol or drugs. Alcohol and drugs will severely impair your I V control of the vehicle and increase the risk of injury yourself and others. mobile phones Avoid using mobile phones while driving a car. This could divert your attention from the road and result in an accident. Fatigue 'Rest Revive survive' Do not attempt driving when you feel tired, sleepy long distance driving can tire you very much and fatigue can dull your reflexes and judgment. Take a brake and get refreshed at intervals. I N G DRIVING SAFETY SAFETY CHECKS Windshield/wiper/windshield washer Always keep windshield glass clean to avoid any distraction in visibility. Ensure proper working of wipers and condition of wiper blade. Ensure that windshield washer reservoir is full. Do not operate wiper alone when the windshield glass is dry this would damage the windshield. Headlights Keep headlight lenses clean. Check for operation of headlamps in both high/low beam condition. Check for correct focusing of headlamps. Use only recommended type of bulbs. Do not use the high beam unless it is inevitable.

Clutch Fluid Container Power Steering Fluid Container 115 M A I N T E Procedure for Oil Filling and Bleeding of Power Steering (Ensure that Power Steering fluid reservoir is totally clean before starting the work) 1 . Fill the reservoir nearly full. Crank the engine for 10 seconds without allowing it to start (if possible). If engine does start, shut the engine immediately. Check & refill the reservoir repeat atleast three times, each time checking & refilling the reservoir. 2 . Check for leakage in the system and if noticed take corrective action. 3 . Start the engine and steer the vehicle from full left to full right turns 3-4 times. N A N C E POWER STEERING 6 . Once the system is bled properly and free from foaming there should not be any appreciable change in oil level in the reservoir, when the engine is started or stopped repeatedly. 7 . Now the system is ready for driving. Final oil level should be at ‘H’ mark on dip stick. NOTICE * Do not allow fluid level to drop significantly or run out of the reservoir during the above operation. This may induce air to the system. NOTICE * Do not start the engine without oil in the power steering system. This will result in serious damage to the pump. In case of emergency disconnect the pump belt and then start the engine. Do not force the wheel against lock position either extreme left or right. The power steering pump may get damaged. Hold it lightly. * Always use recommended oil from closed containers. Any dirty oil poured in the system will result in damage to pump and gear box. 4 . Add fluid if necessary to maintain the level upto filter top. 5 . When the engine is at steady speed, check for bubble or foaming in the oil. If present it indicates that air is getting sucked into the systems. Check the suction line/fittings and correct if necessary. 116 M A I N T E Load Conscious Pressure Reducing Valve (If fitted) ( Not applicable in ABS system) A load conscious pressure reducing valve eliminates the possibility of rear wheels from locking and achieves optimum braking in any load condition of the vehicle.

This may be dangerous as any deviation from the following instructions could lead to personal injury or damage resulting from battery explosion, as well as the damage to the electrical systems in both vehicles. • • • • • Never expose the battery to open flames or sparks. Do not allow battery electrolyte to come in contact with eyes, skins, fabrics or painted surfaces. The fluid contains sulphuric acid which can cause injuries and damage in the event of direct contact. To lessen the risk of injury wear eye protection when working near any battery. Make sure that battery providing the jump start has the same voltage as the battery in your vehicle (12 V). Its capacity must not be substantially lower than that of the discharged battery. The voltage and capacity are given on the batteries. Do not disconnect the discharged battery from the vehicle. Switch off all unnecessary electrical loads. Do not lean over the battery during jump starting. Do not allow the terminals of one lead to touch those of the other lead. Apply hand brake. Place gear shift lever to neutral. Connect Leads in the Order as shown on next page • • Do not connect lead to negative terminal of discharged battery. The connection point should be as far away from the discharged battery as possible. 119 M • • A I N T E A N C Route the leads so that they cannot catch on rotating parts in the engine compartment. The engine of the vehicle providing the jump start can be allowed to run during starting. Attempts to start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery should be made at intervals of one minute and should not last longer than 15 seconds. After starting, allow both engines to idle for approximately 3 minutes with the leads still connected. Wheels & Tyres Always use only recommended size of wheel rims and tyres. Use of rims and tyres not recommended by us may have adverse effect on vehicle safety and further more could infringe on vehicle regulations. If you have a flat tyres 1) Reduce vehicle speed gradually keeping it is a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to safe place away from traffic. Park the vehicle on a level and firm ground. Apply parking brake & engage 1st gear. 2) Turn on Hazard warning switch. Keep advance-warning triangle at least 50 meters behind the vehicle as an indication of breakdown. 3) Take out Jack from vehicle which is below the right hand side rear jump seat whose access is by opening the tail gate. 120 N E STARTING THE ENGINE WITH JUMP LEADS, WHEELS & TYRES JUMP START BATTERY OF ANOTHER CAR DISCHARGED BATTERY M A I N T E 4) Take out Spare wheel cover. Pull the cover from top side and then side way to remove from spare wheel. 5) Remove the spare wheel-mounting nut by wheel spanner (provided in tool kit). Remove the spare wheel cover mounting bracket and then spare wheel. 6) Block the wheel, which is diagonally opposite to the flat tyre. Take out wheel cover and loosen the wheel nut of flat tyre (Do not remove the nut at this stage). 7) Set the jack properly at correct jack point as shown in fig. and slowly lift the vehicle with the help of jack handle. 8) Remove wheel-mounting nuts and take out flat tyre. 9) Roll the spare wheel into position and align the holes in the wheel with studs. Then reinstall the wheel nuts (taper end inward) and tighten them as much as you can by hand. 10) Lower the jack completely then tighten the wheel nuts one by one. Put the wheel cover back. 11) Restore all the tools and jack at their respective location. 12) Place the flat tyre at spare wheel location, put spare wheel cover mounting bracket and tighten the mounting nuts properly.

NOTICE Check tyre pressure and nut tightness of change wheel at nearest Service station. Also, get the puncture tyre repaired. REAR JACKING POINT FRONT JACKING POINT SCISSOR JACK 122 C E WHEELS & TYRES M A I N T E Wheel Alignment Correct wheel alignment helps to decrease tyre wear. You should get your vehicle’s wheel alignment checked regularly. In case uneven tyre wear is observed, vehicle’s wheel alignment should be checked as soon as possible. Wheel Balancing Wheels are balanced at the factory. They may need to be rebalanced at some time before they are worn out. The wheels should be checked for balance if tyre or tube is repaired. Whenever a tyre or wheel rim is changed tyre needs to be balanced. 1. Permissible imbalance for tyre with rim = 250 gm-cm (max.) 2. Total balance weight should be within 140 gms on each side. 3. Relocate the tyre if the weight required to balance is more than 140 gm. 4. Balance weights are available from 10 gm to 80 gm, 90 gm to 140 gm & 15 gm to 135 gm in steps of 10 gms. 5. Do not use more than one balance weight on one side. N A N C E WHEELS AND TYRES Tyre Check for the inflation and condition of your TATA SAFARI tyres periodically. Inflation Check the pressure in the tyres when they are cold. Refer to tyre information label fitted on fuel flap inside for correct cold tyre pressure. You should have your own tyre pressure gauge and use it all times. This makes easier for you to tell if pressure loss is caused by a tyre problem and not by variation between gauges. Keeping the tyres properly inflated gives you the best combination of riding comfort. handling and tyre life. Over inflation of tyres makes the vehicle ride bumpy and harsh. Tyres are more prone to uneven wear and damage from road hazards. Under inflated tyres reduce your comfort in vehicle handling and are prone to failures due to high temperature. They also cause uneven wear. 123 A I T E FRONT LEFT A N REAR LEFT Inspection Every time you check inflation pressure, you should also examine tyres for damage, foreign objects and wear. You should look for : Bumps or bulges in the tread or the side of the tyre. Replace the tyre if you find either of these conditions. Cuts, splits or cracks in the side of the tyre. Replace the tyre if you see the fabric or cord. Excessive tread wear. • • • Tyre Rotation To help increase tyre life and distribute wear more evenly you 124 N C E WHEELS AND TYRES REAR RIGHT FRONT FRONT RIGHT N SPARE WHEEL M Spare Wheel should have tyres rotated at specified intervals or earlier depending on the operation of vehicle. The illustrations shows how to rotate tyres when normal spare wheel is included in tyre rotation. Spare Wheel Spare wheel is located at rear on the tail gate of the vehicle. Recommended tyre pressure with cold tyres. Laden Unladen Front Rear - 32 PSI (2.2 bar) 35 PSI (2.4 bar) 30 PSI (2.1 bar) 35 PSI (2.4 bar) M A I N T E RADIAL TUBELESS TYRE : Radial tubeless tyres have following advantages over conventional tube tyres : Q Lesser heat generation as compared to tube tyre Q Absence of tube results in reduction of unsprung weight and improves dynamic stability. Q Tubeless tyres have lower rolling resistance, lesser weight, retain air uniformly and hence improve fuel efficiency. Q Better safety - Less chances of accidents due to sudden air leakage. In case of puncture, the air leakage rate is slower, as air can escape only through the point of puncture, and gives the driver sufficient time to control the vehicle. Q Better heat dissipation - As the compressed air is in direct contact with the metallic rim Q No tube related problems. N A N C E TYRES Tubeless tyres are coated with impermeable layer of rubber from inside which holds the air inside the tyre. Do not scratch inside of tubeless tyre with metallic or sharp object. This may cause gradual loss of air. Q If wheel rim gets damaged in the service, get the wheel rim repaired/ replaced immediately. Running the vehicle with damaged rim may cause deflation of tyre and subsequent dislodging of tyre from rim. Q Maintain recommended tyre pressure. Over inflated tyre may cause puncture or bursting of tyre. NOTE : Life and wear pattern of tyres depends on various parameters like tyre pressure, wheel alignment, wheel balancing, tyre rotation, etc. It also largely depends on vehicle speed, load carried, usage, driving habits, road conditions, etc. Q Special care for tubeless tyres : Q While removing and refitting the tyre on the wheel rim, take precautions not to damage tyre bead. Use tyre removal and assembly machines. Damage or cut on tyre bead may cause gradual air loss. 125 M A I N T E VEHICLE CARE : Your vehicle is subjected to many external influences such as climate, road conditions, industrial pollution and humidity.These conditions demand regular care of the vehicle body. Dirt, insects, bird droppings, oil, grease, fuel and stone chippings should be removed as soon as possible. Washing your vehicle : N A N C E VEHICLE CARE 7. Rinse all surfaces thoroughly to prevent any traces of soap and other cleaners as this may lead to the formation of stains on the painted surface later. NOTE Do not direct high pressure washer fluid/ water jets at electrical devices and their connectors during washing.This is to prevent malfunction / failure of electrical system due to water ingress. Following tips while washing your vehicle : Waxing : HAND WASH: Waxing and polishing is recommended to maintain the gloss and wet-look appearance of your paint finish. 1. Always wash your vehicle in shade and where the surface is at room temperature. 1. Use a good quality polish and wax for your vehicle. 2. Wash with mild car wash soap like ‘Car Shampoo’ and use a soft 100% cotton cloth to avoid scratches. 2. Re-wax your vehicle when the water does not slip off the surface and collects over the surface in patches. 3. To avoid scratches, please wear soft gloves . Remove finger rings, nails, wrist watch while washing. Tips for the care of your new vehicle finish : 4. To remove stubborn stains and contaminants like tar, use turpentine or cleaners like ‘Stain remover’ which are safe for paint surfaces. 5. Avoid substances like petrol, diesel, kerosene, benzene or other solvents that cause damage to paint. 6. Dry your vehicle thoroughly to prevent any damp spots. 126 If your vehicle is washed in an automatic car wash, please remember that the paint can be scratched by type of brushes, unfiltered washing water or the washing process itself. Scratching reduces paint durability and gloss, especially on darker colours. It is suggested to wash the vehicle by hand with cool and clean water using a soft cloth or sponge. Please do not use soap but a car shampoo recommended by your dealer. M A I N T E N 2. Dry wiping your vehicle may lead to the formation of scratches. Always use a soft cloth and clean water while wiping your vehicle. 3. Always keep your vehicle parked in a well ventilated shade. Exposure to heat with entrapped moisture promotes corrosion. 4. Avoid driving on gravel roads, as the possibility of paint chip off due to the impact of stones is high. Also avoid driving on freshly tarred road. 5. External contamination in the form of sap or industrial fall-out may spoil or develop spots on a new finish. Hence avoid parking your vehicle near trees, which are known to drop sap, or near factories. 6. Bird droppings may damage the paint finish, hence bird dropping must be immediately washed off. 7. The paint finish is susceptible to damage in case petrol, brake fluid, liquid from vehicle battery, oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid or windshield solvent spills onto the painted surface. In case of such a spillage immediately rinse the affected area N C E VEHICLE CARE with water. Avoid wiping the area as far as possible. If wiping is required, wipe the area gently with soft cotton cloth. Precautions : 1. Always wash your vehicle in shade, avoiding direct exposure to sunlight during washing. A 8. Avoid using sharp objects to scrap off tar / mud from a painted surface. Various environmental hazards affecting paints : The enemy : Ultraviolet Rays, Pollution, Tree Sap, Bird Droppings, Car Wash Chemicals, Road Salt, Acid Rain. Benefits of external enrichment : • Removal of medium scratches, orange peel, oxidation, dust nibs etc and swirl marks from painted surface. • Restoration of original gloss levels UV protection after gloss is restored. • Cleaning and dressing of tyres, Bumpers and all exterior plastic moldings / trims. Cleaning of carpets : Vacuum clean the carpet regularly to remove dirt. Dirt will make the carpet wear out faster. Periodically shampoo the carpet to keep it looking new. 127 M A I N T E Use carpet cleaners (preferably foam type). Follow the instructions that come with the cleaner. Apply it with a sponge or soft brush. Keep the carpeting as dry as possible by not adding water to the foam. N Clean the windows inside and outside with commercially available glass cleaners. This will remove the haze that builds up on the inside of windows. Use a soft cloth or paper towels to clean all glass and plastic surfaces. Cleaning of rear windshield glass ( With printed circuit): While cleaning rear windshield glass, avoid to wipe the glass from inside. If required, always wipe it with soft cotton cloth and inline with printed circuit. NOTICE Do not rub the glass with a dry cloth across the printed circuit, this may damage the printed circuit. 128 N C E VEHICLE CARE RFID TAG DO NOT TRY TO PEEL OFF RFID TAG TML PART NO. 2816 5420 99 05 NOTICE Avoid wiping of painted surface in dry condition as it may leave scratches on the painted surface. Cleaning of window glasses : A RFID TAG is pasted on front windshield from inside. It enables Electronic toll collection. NOTICE Do not attempt to rip or tamper the tag. It will disable the functionality of the tag. Wiper care : FOR CHATTERING & NOISY PROBLEMS VIEW WITHOUT WIPER BLADE Windshield Glass OK NOT OK Wiper blade attack angle on windshield glass should be 900 i.e. perpendicular. M A I N T E N A N C E VEHICLE CARE Remove wiper blade and root wiper arm on windshield glass in the centre position. Check the gap between arm strip and glass. Parking vehicle for long duration (on-use maintenance): • Park the vehicle in covered, dry and well ventilated premises. Engage gear. • Remove the battery terminal cables (First remove the cable from the negative terminal) • Make sure the hand brake is engaged. • Clean and protect the painted parts using protective wax. • Clean and protect the shiny metal parts using commercially available special compounds. • Sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber of windscreen wiper and lift them off the glass. • Cover the vehicle with a cloth or preforated plastic sheet. Do not use sheets of imperforated plastic as they do not allow moisture on the vehicle body to evaporate. • Do not drain the engine cooling system. 129 M A I N T E N A N C Fuses All the electrical circuits in your vehicle have fuses to protect them from a short circuit or overload. These fuses are located in 2 fuse boxes. The interior fuse box is below the dash board on driver’s side. Remove the fuse box lid by grabbing and pulling down the slot. The under bonnet fuse box is located in engine compartment on LHS. Checking and Replacing Fuses If any electrical unit in your vehicle has stopped functioning, the fuses should be checked first. 1. Turn the ignition key to lock position. 2. Remove the cover of the fuse box. 3. Check each fuse and look for burnt wire inside the fuse. If it is burnt, replace it with one of the spare fuses of same rating or lower. 4. If the replacement fuse of same rating burns out in short time, there is probably a serious electrical problem. Get the vehicle attended at nearest Authorised Workshop. Fuse Box - Cabin NOTICE Ensure that the replaced fuses have the same rating as indicated on the sticker. Fuse Box - Engine Compartment 130 E FUSES M A I N T E N A N C E FUSES & RELAYS AND INTERCOOLER Relays and Transfer Case ECU Relays are fitted to protect the voltage drawing units from low voltage. Relays are fitted in 2 locations : 1. In the fuse box situated inside engine compartment. 2. Behind glove box. ECU for transfer case is fitted under RH seat. Transfercase ECU under driver’s seat 131 M A I N T TAKING CARE OF ENVIRONMENT : Your vehicle is equipped with the EGR ( Exhaust Gas Recirculation) System to reduce exhaust pollution. EGR SYSTEM : The engine is fitted with EGR valve, EGR pipe, EGR cooler (where-ever applicable), vacuum modulator and associated electrical circuitry. With this, controlled amount of exhaust gas is mixed with intake air of the engine, in part load and speed conditions. This helps in reducing harmful pollutants. Close Couple Catalytic Converter : Tata Safari is fitted with Diesel Oxidation Catalytic Converter to reduce exhaust pollution. The two way Catalytic Converter has coating of precious metals which enables conversion of pollutants. Care of the Catalytic Converter The Catalytic Converter does not require any special maintenance however, following precautions should be taken for the effective functioning of the converter and to avoid damage to the converter. 1 It is mandatory to use Diesel fuel with low sulphur content (Refer recommended fuels). Use of any other diesel fuel can increase the pollutants. 2 Avoid parking the vehicle over inflammable materials, such as dry leaves, grass, etc., as the exhaust system is hot enough to initiate “FIRE”. 132 E N A N C E EGR SYSTEM Maintenance of Catalytic Converter Catalytic Converter should be flushed by giving full throttle (4 to 5 times) in standing condition of vehicle on daily basis. In addition to this it is recommended to run the vehicle at high speeds (80 to 100 kmph) for few km as this will help to flush the carbon soot deposits from exhaust system and catalytic converter. High speed running of the vehicle may be done periodically to avoid chocking of catalytic converter. Alternatively flushing operation for cleaning the catalytic converter can be done by dry compressed air draft (3 to 4 bar) directed on the honeycomb structure of catalytic converter (after removing from vehicle) Close Coupled Catalytic Converter Under Body Catalytic Converter M A I N T E N A N C E TURBO CHARGER (IF FITTED) Variable Turbine Technology- VTT Turbocharger : Your vehicle is fitted with a turbocharger having variable turbine technology (VTT ). Turbocharger is an efficient supercharging device used in our engine. It makes optimal use of thermal energy of engine exhaust gases to run a turbine which in turn drives a compressor to force air under pressure into the inlet manifold. This turbocharger is optimized for higher power output flat torque across large engine speed range and better fuel consumption. Lubrication of Turbocharger : The turbocharger rotor assembly is supported by two fully floating bearing bushes in the bearing housing. These bearing bushes are lubricated with finely filtered engine oil from the lubrication system of the engine. Idle the engine for a while (30 seconds) after starting the engine and before stopping the engine to ensure adequate lubricating oil supply to the turbocharger. Turbocharger Connections : All turbocharger connections must be leak-proof. Check air inlet, air outlet, exhaust gas inlet and exhaust outlet connections as well as oil inlet and outlet connections to the turbocharger and tighten the connections where required. Turbocharger (VTT) Proper maintenance of air filter, oil filter as well as use of correct grade of oil and adherence to oil change intervals is essential for proper functioning of the turbocharger. If you suspect any malfunctioning of the turbocharger, take the vehicle to the nearest dealer. Do not remove the turbocharger yourself. 133 M A I N T E Air Conditioning The Air Conditioning is a sealed system. Any major maintenance should be done by Authorised Workshop. There are couple of things which can be done by you to ensure proper working of Air conditioning / Heating. Periodically check the engine’s radiator and air conditioning condensers for leaves, insects and dirt stuck in front surface. These block the air flow and reduce the cooling efficiency. Use a light water spray from a hose or a soft brush to remove them. NOTICE Use only low pressure spray or soft bristle brush to clean condenser and radiator fins. Run the air conditioning at least once a week during winter season. Run it at least for ten minutes with vehicle at steady speed and engine at normal operating condition. This circulates lubrication oil in the compressor. For any complaint on A.C. and Heating get it attended at Authorised Workshop. NOTICE The system is charged with R 134 (a) - ‘Non C.F.C.’ refrigerant. Do not top up with any other refrigerant. 134 N A N C E AIR CONDITIONING M A I N T E Belt Tension : Check the conditions of belts on the engine. Examine the edge of the belt for cracks or fraying. Check the tension of the belt by pushing on it with your thumb for Alternator belt and A.C. compressor belt and Power Steering belt as shown in schematic diagram. The belts should have deflection of 4 to 6 mm. If the belt tension is not proper, get it attended at the nearest authorised service outlet. Correct tension of the belt is very critical from belt life and belt noise point of view. It is recommended that belt tension should be measured with clavis gauge to ensure recommended values as given below Alternator / power steering belt • Frequency should be 250 + / - 10HZ for new belt measured between alternator & power steering pump span. • New belt to be retensioned to 220 + /- 10 HZ on vehicle after running for 15 min. For compressor belt Span AC to dampers • Frequency should be 200 +/- 10 HZ • Belt to be retension to 180 +/- 10HZ on vehicle after running for 15 min. N A N C E BELT TENSION A.C.
