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

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.

Automatic Hub Locks Automatic Hub LocksAutomatic Hub Locks Automatic Hub Locks
Automatic Hub Locks
While driving in 2H mode this mechanism on the front axle
hub allows the hub to free wheel. This avoids the unnecessary
spinning of front drive components and results in fuel saving,
reduced noise and longer component life.
As soon as 4H or 4L mode is selected the hub gets
automatically connected to front drive line to increase the
traction.
Limited Slip Differential Limited Slip DifferentialLimited Slip Differential Limited Slip Differential
Limited Slip Differential
(Standard on 4x4 and optional on others)
A standard differential delivers torque equally to each wheel.
In case one wheel loses traction and begins to spin, the
differential distributes the rotary speed unequally but with
same torque. This can cause the wheel with good traction to
slow down or stop while the wheel which lost traction rotates
with increased speed. Such a situation can prevent the vehicle
from moving.
The limited slip differential provided in the rear axle takes
care of such situations. The clutch lock arrangement provided
internally, ensures that in case one wheel loses traction and
begins to slip, a locking action takes place which prevents
differential action and both wheels turn at the same speed.

Do not engage four wheel drive mode (4H or 4L)
continuously on dry and hard road surface. It can cause
expensive damage to the vehicle transmission and the
tyres.
Four wheel drive facility is a powerful tool which enables
the vehicle to traverse terrain which is otherwise
inaccessible to two wheel drive vehicles. However, it must
be used judiciously and carefully. Do not take unnecessary
risks and attempt the impossible. Familiarise yourself
thoroughly with the vehicle and its abilities before
attempting serious off road driving.

getting sucked into the systems. Check the suction
line/fittings and correct if necessary.
6 . Once the system is bled properly and free from foaming

and then start the engine.
* Always use recommended oil from closed containers.
Any dirty oil poured in the system will result in damage
to pump and gear box.
