. is committed to produce the vehicles
using environmentally sustainable technology. A number of
features have been incorporated in Tata Motors passenger
vehicles which have been designed to ensure environmental
compatibility throughout the life cycle of the vehicle. We would
like to inform you that your vehicle meets emission norms and
this is being regularly validated at the manufacturing stages.
As a user you too can protect the environment by operating
your vehicle in a proactive manner. A lot depends on your
driving style and the way you maintain your car. We have
given few tips below for your guidance.
DRIVING DRIVINGDRIVING DRIVING

¾Avoid frequent and violent accelerations.
¾Do not carry any unnecessary weight on the vehicle as
it overloads the engine. Avoid using devices requiring
high power consumption during slow city traffic
condition.
¾Monitor the vehicle’s fuel consumption regularly and if
showing rising trend get the vehicle immediately
attended at the Company’s Authorised Service Outlets.

¾Switch off the engine during long stops at traffic jams
or signals. If you need to keep the engine running, avoid
unnecessary revving it up or stopping and starting.
¾It is not necessary to rev up the engine before turning
it off as it unnecessarily burns the fuel.
¾Shift to higher gears as soon as it is possible. Use each
gear upto 2/3rd of it’s maximum engine speed. A chart
indicating gear shifting speeds is given in this book.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCEMAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
¾Ensure that recommended maintenance is carried out
on the vehicle regularly at the Authorised Service
Outlets.
¾As soon as you see any leakages of oil or fuel in the
vehicle we recommend to get it attended immediately.
¾Use only recommended grades and quantity of
lubricants and clean/uncontaminated and correct fuels.
¾Get your vehicle checked for emission periodically by
authorised dealer

periodically and replaced, if required, as recommended
by Tata Motors.
¾Do not pour the used oils or coolants into the sewage
drains, garden soil or open streams. Dispose the used
filters and batteries in compliance with the current
legislation.
¾Do not allow unauthorised person to tamper with
engine settings or to carry modifications on the vehicle.
¾Never allow the vehicle to run out of fuel.
¾Parts like brake liners, clutch disc should be vacuum
cleaned. Do not use the compressed air for cleaning
these parts which may spread the dust in the
atmosphere.

Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. It may spray hot
coolant on you causing serious injuries.
1. Ensure engine and radiator are cool.
2. Turn the radiator cap anti clockwise (without pressing it) until it
stops. This will relieve the pressure, if any in the cooling system.
3. Remove the radiator cap by pushing down and turning anti
clockwise.
4. The level of coolant should be upto the base of the filler neck.
Coolant should be added if it is low.
5. Secure the radiator cap in its place.
6. Add coolant into the auxiliary tank up to the high mark.

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.

ABS combined with the traditional hydraulic brake system pre-
vents 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 How ABS worksHow ABS works How ABS works
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 toBrakes BrakesBrakes Brakes
Brakes
Tata Safari is equipped with ventilated disc brakes on front
and drum brakes on rear wheels.
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 CAUTIONCAUTION CAUTION
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.
