ABS indicator light on instrument
cluster illuminates approx. for 5 sec. when the ignition key is
turned to ‘ON’ position. This is normal and indicates the system is
performing a self check. If the light does not illuminate when
ignition is ‘ON’ or remains illuminated after initial self check and
while driving or flashes, fault may exist in the ABS system.

This light should come ON when
ignition is ‘ON’ and should go off after the engine starts.
If it remains ‘ON’ when engine is running, it indicates
battery is not getting charged.
In such a case, avoid using electrical loads and get the
problem attended at an authorised workshop.

(* For 4WD model only)
With ignition ‘ON’ and transfer case switch in 2H mode both 4H
and 4L indicator lamps on instrument panel should glow for a
few seconds only and go ‘OFF’.
Continuous illumination indicates an electrical fault. Do not run
the vehicle if both 4H and 4L lamps are ON.
The 4H or 4L lamps will glow only when the transfer case is
either in 4H or 4L mode.

If this warning light illuminates,
it means there is a little fuel approximately 10 litres in the tank
and you should fill the tank at the earliest.

Your TATA SAFARI is designed to give you long trouble free service for
thousands of kilometres/miles. However with proper maintenance
care you can get optimum performance from your vehicle. We have
indicated some of the important maintenance operations to be
carried out on the vehicle. Please read the procedure carefully and
get it attended at Authorised Workshop.

A load conscious pressure reducing valve eliminates the
possibility of rear wheels from locking and achieves optimum
braking in any load condition of the vehicle.
The valve, is fitted on RH long member connecting it to rear
axle through its link and control spring.
If any, alteration is done in rear suspension, the performance
of this valve will be impaired.

The by-pass valve is provided in the rear brake circuit between
tandem master cylinder and ABS unit. The by-pass valve
bypasses the ABS unit in rear only braking (i.e. front brake
failed) condition. The feedback of front line pressure is
provided to the by-pass valve. in case of front brake failure,
the low front line presure being sensed by the by-pass valve
and the 100% brake line pressure from tandem master
cylinder is applied on to the rear brakes without reduction
in pressure.

ECU :
DICOR engine common rail system consists of ECU, sensors
and actuators. The Electronic control unit (ECU) is a 32 bit
microprocessor which controls the injection parameters as well
as some of the vehicle related outputs. The ECU receives input
from various sensors located on the engine and the vehicle to
decide the injected quantity and injection timing best suited
for the engine to work with maximum efficiency and safety.
ECU is fitted inside the engine compartment.

* 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.

The use of a wrench to loosen and remove cables from the
terminals should be made. Always disconnect the negative
(-ve) cable first and reconnect it last. Clean the battery
terminals with a terminal cleaning tool or wire brush.
Reconnect and tighten the cables, coat the terminals with
petroleum jelly. If you need to connect the battery to a
charger, disconnect both cables to prevent damage to the
vehicle’s electrical system.
NOTICE NOTICENOTICE NOTICE

Charging the battery with the cables connected can
seriously damage your vehicle’s electronic controls.
Detach the battery cables before connecting battery to
a charger.

Your Safari with a discharged battery may be started by
transferring electrical power from a battery in another vehicle.
This may be dangerous as any deviation from the following
instructions could lead to personal injury or damage
resulting from battery explosion, as well as the damage to
the electrical systems in both vehicles.• Never expose the battery to open flames or sparks.
• Do not allow battery electrolyte to come in contact with
eyes, skins, fabrics or painted surfaces. The fluid
contains sulphuric acid which can cause injuries and
damage in the event of direct contact.
• To lessen the risk of injury wear eye protection when
working near any battery.
• Make sure that battery providing the jump start has the
same voltage as the battery in your vehicle (12 V). Its
capacity must not be substantially lower than that of the
discharged battery. The voltage and capacity are given
on the batteries.
• Do not disconnect the discharged battery from the vehicle.
• Switch off all unnecessary electrical loads.
• Do not lean over the battery during jump starting.
• Do not allow the terminals of one lead to touch those of
the other lead.
• Apply hand brake. Place gear shift lever to neutral.
