ORS 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 : Baby or Small Child :Baby or Small Child : Baby or Small Child :
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.

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 OperationOperation Operation
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.

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.
7. Put the cap back, on the auxiliary tank.

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.
