The gauge indicates the temperature level of the engine coolant. The
red zone at 'H' indicates temperatures higher than normal.
Avoid driving, when the pointer is in the red zone. It indicates engine
overheating, which may be due to insufficient coolant in the radiator or
due to any other defect. Take the car to the nearest Authorised Service
outlet for necessary attention.
CAUTION CAUTIONCAUTION CAUTION
CAUTION
Never remove the radiator pressure cap from radiator when the
engine is hot. Do not restart the engine until the problem has
been duly attended.

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 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.

If engine overheating occurs, there could be a fault in the
cooling system which may be on account of :
1. Less coolant in the cooling system or dirt/scale having
accumulated inside cooling water passages especially
in the radiator core.
2 . Choking of radiator passages due to foreign material or
damages.
3. Defective thermostat.
4. Defective coolant temperature sensor.
5 . Non operation of electrically operated fans (Controlled
by ECU).
6. Coolant leakage.
7. Radiator cap not sealing properly.
8 . A.C. condenser fan not working
9. Excessive refrigerant charging in the A.C. system.
10. No communication between auxiliary tank and radiator.
