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 Wheel BalancingWheel Balancing Wheel Balancing
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.T TT T

Check for the inflation and condition of your TATA SAFARI tyres
periodically.
Inflation InflationInflation Inflation
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.

Polishes :
Polishes and cleaners can restore shine to the painted surface
that has oxidised and become dull. They normally contain mild
abrasives and solvents that remove the top layer of the finish
coat. Polish your car if the finish does not regain its original shine
after using wax.

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.
Use carpet cleaners (preferably foam type). Follow the
instructions that come with the cleaner, applying it with a
sponge or soft brush. Keep the carpeting as dry as possible
by not adding water to the foam.

Cleaning of Windows, Front & Rear Glasses :
Clean the windows inside and outside with commercially

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

VEHICLE CARE :
The car is subjected to many external influences such as climate,
road conditions, industrial pollution and proximity to the sea.
These conditions demand regular care of the car body. Dirt,
insects, bird droppings, oil, grease, fuel and stone chippings should
be removed as soon as possible.

Do not wash the car in direct sunlight, wash in shade. Spray the
car thoroughly with a cold water jet (car on a washing pit or
hoist). Mix car shampoo in the wash water. No solvent (fuel,
thinners) need be used.

Avoid wiping of painted surface in dry condition as it may
leave scratches on the painted surface.
Use a soft bristle brush, sponge or soft cloth and rinse it
frequently while washing. When you have washed the whole
exterior, dry it with a chamois or soft cloth. After drying the car,
inspect it for chips and scratches that could allow corrosion to
start. Apply touch up paint where necessary.

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, 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 Care of the Catalytic ConverterCare of the Catalytic Converter Care of the Catalytic Converter
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”.
Maintenance of Catalytic Converter Maintenance of Catalytic ConverterMaintenance of Catalytic Converter Maintenance of Catalytic Converter
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)

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.

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.

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.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.
