Collapsible Steering Column
The steering column of TATA SAFARI is of collapsible type. During
normal operation it works as a solid one piece column and
takes all the steering efforts effectively. In case of frontal impact,
the intermediate tube connecting upper and lower part of the
column will collapse. This will prevent the steering column from
protruding in the driver cabin and avoid injury to the driver.
