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.

Changing of Engine Oil and Oil Filter Changing of Engine Oil and Oil FilterChanging of Engine Oil and Oil Filter Changing of Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Changing of Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Change the oil and oil filter at specified service intervals. (Engine oil and
oil filter may be changed earlier inline with recommendation given for
additional maintenance schedule under severe driving condition)
Changing of oil and oil filter requires access from underneath the vehicle.
Vehicle should be raised on a hydraulic lift of a service station or should
be on a service pit.
1 . Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. Then
shut it off.
2. Remove oil sump guard.
3. Open the bonnet and remove engine oil filler cap. Remove the drain
plug of the oil sump from the bottom of the engine. Drain the oil into
an appropriate container.
4. Remove the oil filter with the help of special wrench. The removed
oil filter should not be reused and hence should be destroyed to
avoid recycling of the same. Used filter and oil should be disposed
in compliance with the current legislation.
5. Ensure cooler is tightened to it’s position.
6. Smear a little fresh engine oil on rubber gasket of new engine oil
filter. Hand tighten the engine oil filter fully and further 3/4 turn with
special tool.
Do not over tighten engine oil filter as this may damage oil filter and
oil may leak out.
7. Before filling in fresh oil in the engine, clean the drain plug..

ARNING
* 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.

Your vehicle is equipped with the EGR ( Exhaust Gas
Recirculation) System to reduce exhaust pollution.

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.
