Reverse Guiding System (if fitted)
This vehicle is fitted with reverse guiding system consisting of LCD
monitor on inner rear view mirror and camera is mounted on the rear
bumper. It helps the driver to see objects at rear side of vehicle while
reversing.
The LCD monitor is operated automatically when reverse gear is
engaged and vehicle key is in ‘IGN’ position.
To get clear view, monitor and camera lens should be kept clean. For
cleaning the camera lens and LCD monitor, use moist and dry cotton
cloth.

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.

ABS activation varies with various road surfaces i.e. the
amount of traction your tyre have on a particular surface.
On dry surface you will need more pedal effort to activate
ABS. However you may feel ABS activates immediately if you

Safety tips while driving with ABS Safety tips while driving with ABSSafety tips while driving with ABS Safety tips while driving with ABS
Safety tips while driving with ABS
1) During a hard braking or when the road grip is poor, you
will feel the brake pedal is pulsating and an audible noise
in the system. This is absolutely Normal and it’s the
indication that your ABS is rapidly pumping the brakes. Do
not release the brake pedal, this defeats the purpose of
ABS. Keep firm steady pressure on the brake pedal so as
not to interrupt the braking action as long as you steer
away from the hazard.

Thus unnecessary spinning of one wheel is avoided and torque
is transmitted to both wheels, thus assisting the vehicle to traverse
loose terrain. However during normal driving, the differential
action takes place in the same manner as in a standard differential.

Four Wheel Drive Operation Four Wheel Drive OperationFour Wheel Drive Operation Four Wheel Drive Operation
Four Wheel Drive Operation
In 2-H mode, only the rear two wheels of the vehicle are
powered by the engine and the front wheels are merely
pushed. By shifting to four wheel drive mode (4H or 4L)
the rear as well as the front axles get geared to the engine
through transfer case and transmit the engine power to all
four wheels. This gives the vehicle increased traction.
In 4H mode, the transmitted engine torque and vehicle
speed remain the same as in 2H. However, when you shift
to 4L mode engine torque is multiplied and vehicle moves
at low speed in the same gears with increased traction. 4L
mode is provided for negotiating sharp gradients or driving
through loose soil/sand.

After shifting from 4H to 2H, for effecting free wheeling of front
wheels, direction of vehicle motion needs to be changed. If
the vehicle was moving forward in 4H then bring it to halt and
engage reverse gear of main gear box. (If it was moving reverse
in 4H mode then stop it, and then engage forward gear of
main gear box.) After stopping and changing the gear the
vehicle must travel in opposite direction for a minimum of three
meters, before free wheeling takes place.
