Waxing and polishing is recommended to maintain the gloss
and wet-look appearance of your paint finish.
1. Use a good quality polish and wax for your vehicle.
2. Re-wax your vehicle when the water does not slip off the
surface and collects over the surface in patches.

Further tips for the care of your new vehicle finish :
If your vehicle is washed in an automatic car wash, please
remember that the paint can be scratched by type of brushes,
unfiltered washing water or the washing process itself.
Scratching reduces paint durability and gloss, especially on
darker colours. It is suggested to wash the vehicle by hand with
cool and clean water using a soft cloth or sponge. Please do not
use soap but a car shampoo recommended by your dealer.
Please take the following precautions : Please take the following precautions :Please take the following precautions : Please take the following precautions :
Please take the following precautions :
1. Always wash your vehicle in shade, avoiding direct exposure
to sunlight during washing.
2. Dry wiping your vehicle may lead to the formation of
scratches and hence always use a soft cloth and clean water
while wiping your vehicle.
3. Always keep your vehicle parked in a well ventilated shade.
Exposure to heat with entrapped moisture promotes corrosion.4. Avoid driving on gravel roads, as the possibility of paint
chip off due to the impact of stones is high. If you are
driving on freshly tarred road, check immediately
afterwards for any stains & clean them.
5. External contamination in the form of sap or industrial
fall-out may mar or develop spots on a new finish. Hence
avoid parking your vehicle near trees, which are known
to drop sap, or near factories, which give out heavy smoke.
6. The acid content in bird droppings may damage the newly
painted finish and hence any bird dropping must be
immediately washed off.
7. The paint finish is susceptible to damage in case petrol,
brake fluid, liquid from car battery, oil, antifreeze,
transmission fluid or windshield solvent spills onto the
painted surface. In case of such a spillage immediately
rinse the affected area with water. Avoid wiping the area
far as possible, however if wiping is required, ensure that
you wipe the area gently with soft cotton cloth.
8. Avoid using sharp objects to scrap off tar or mud from a
painted surface as it may develop scratches or may peel
off the paint.

Fuses
All the electrical circuits in your vehicle have fuses to protect them
from a short circuit or overload. These fuses are located in 2 fuse boxes.
The interior fuse box is below the dash board on driver’s side. Remove
the fuse box lid by grabbing and pulling down the slot.
The under bonnet fuse box is located in engine compartment on LHS.

Checking and Replacing Fuses
If any electrical unit in your vehicle has stopped functioning, the fuses
should be checked first.
1. Turn the ignition key to lock position.
2. Remove the cover of the fuse box.
3. Check each fuse and look for burnt wire inside the fuse. If it is burnt,
replace it with one of the spare fuses of same rating or lower.
4. If the replacement fuse of same rating burns out in short time, there
is probably a serious electrical problem. Get the vehicle attended at
nearest Authorised Workshop.

Ensure that the replaced fuses have the same rating as indicated on

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.

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.

Air Conditioning
The Air Conditioning is a sealed system. Any major maintenance
should be done by Authorised Workshop.
There are couple of things which can be done by you to ensure proper
working of Air conditioning / Heating.
Periodically check the engine’s radiator and air conditioning
condensers for leaves, insects and dirt stuck in front surface.
These block the air flow and reduce the cooling efficiency. Use a light
water spray from a hose or a soft brush to remove them.

Use only low pressure spray or soft bristle brush to clean condenser
and radiator fins.
Run the air conditioning at least once a week during winter season.
Run it at least for ten minutes with vehicle at steady speed and engine
at normal operating condition. This circulates lubrication oil in the
compressor.
For any complaint on A.C. and Heating get it attended at Authorised
Workshop.

Check the conditions of belts on the engine. Examine the edge of
the belt for cracks or fraying.
Check the tension of the belt by pushing on it with your thumb for
Alternator belt and A.C. compressor belt and Power Steering belt
as shown in schematic diagram.
The belts should have deflection of 4 to 6 mm.
If the belt tension is not proper, get it attended at the nearest
authorised service outlet.
Correct tension of the belt is very critical from belt life and belt
noise point of view. It is recommended that belt tension should be
measured with clavis gauge to ensure recommended values as given
below
