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.
• •• •
• The bag(s) deflate as the gas escapes through the vent holes
in the airbag cushion.

• •• •
•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.

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.

•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.

•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.

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.

•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.

* The battery gives off explosive gases during normal operation.
A spark or open flame can cause the battery to explode causing
very serious injuries.
* Keep all sparks & open flames and smoking materials away from
the battery.
* Getting electrolyte in your eyes or skin can cause severe burns.
Wear protective clothing and a face shield or let a skilled
technician do the battery maintenance.
* Battery contains sulphuric acid (electrolyte) which is poisonous
and highly corrosive in nature.
1. Check the battery for electrolyte level with marked lines on the
battery outer case.
2. Check Battery terminals for corrosion (a white or yellowish
powder). To remove it, cover the terminals with solution of baking
soda. It will bubble up and turn brown.
When this stops, wash it off with plain water. Dry off the battery with
a cloth or paper towel. Coat the terminal with Petroleum Jelly to
prevent future corrosion.
