IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR OWNERS<br />

We provide safe, high quality, high performance vehicles. In<br />

order to maintain the level of performance and reliability in<br />

the vehicle, it is important that any accessory that is fitted or<br />

modification that is carried out should be done with extreme<br />

caution and in consultation with our authorised dealer. Any<br />

improper installation can hamper the safety and performance<br />

of the vehicle besides depriving you of your warranty benefits.<br />

Use of genuine parts, designed and manufactured to our<br />

exacting standards, are the best way to maintain your vehicle<br />

in peak operating condition. Please do not use substitutes. They<br />

always prove costlier in the long run.<br />

Failure to use genuine parts can invalidate any future warranty<br />

claims.<br />

ENVIRONMENTAL<br />

PROTECTION<br />

<strong>TATA</strong> MOTORS is committed to produce the vehicles using<br />

environmentally sustainable technology. A number of features<br />

have been incorporated in our passenger cars which are<br />

specifically designed to ensure environmental compatibility<br />

throughout the life cycle of the car. We would like to inform<br />

you that your vehivle meets Emission norms and is being<br />

regularly validated at the manufacturing stages to keep up<br />

with the stringent emission norms.<br />

As a user you too can protect the environment by operating<br />

your car in a proactive manner. A lot depends on your driving<br />

style and the way you maintain your car. Listed below are few<br />

tips that will help you to do so.<br />

WHILE DRIVING :<br />

Avoid frequent and violent accelerations.<br />

Do not carry any unnecessary weight on the vehicle as<br />

it overloads the engine.<br />

Avoid using devices requiring high power consumption<br />

during slow city traffic condition.<br />

It is not advisable to warm up the engine during the first<br />

start of the day by idling, as cold temperatures within the<br />

engine could cause rise in the emission such as CO & HC<br />

particulate.<br />

Monitor the car's fuel consumption regularly. If it shows<br />

rising trend get the vehicle immediately attended at the<br />

<strong>TATA</strong> MOTORS Authorised Service Centre.<br />

Switch off the engine during long stops at traffic jams or<br />

signals. If you need to keep the engine running, avoid<br />

unnecessarily revving or stopping and starting.<br />

Use only unleaded fuel in petrol cars.<br />

It is not necessary to rev up the engine before turning<br />

it off as it unnecessarily burns the fuel.<br />

For petrol cars switch off the ignition only when engine<br />

is at idling and when the vehicle is stationary, not when<br />

the vehicle is running.<br />

Shift to higher gears as soon as it is possible. Use each<br />

gear upto 2/3rd of it's maximum engine speed. A chart<br />

indicating gear shifting speeds is given in this book.<br />

MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR :<br />

Ensure that recommended maintenance is carried out on<br />

the vehicle regularly at the <strong>TATA</strong> MOTORS Authorised<br />

Service Outlets.<br />

As soon as you notice any leakage of oil or fuel in the<br />

car we recommend that you get it attended immediately.<br />

Use only recommended brands and grades of lubricants<br />

& coolants and clean/uncontaminated fuels.<br />

Get your vehicle checked for emission periodically by our<br />

authorised dealer and regularly renew the P.U.C. certificate.<br />

Ensure that fuel filter, oil filter, breathers are periodically<br />

checked and if required, replace the same using only<br />

genuine recommended brands.<br />

Do not pour used oils or coolants into the sewage drains,<br />

garden soil or open streams. Dispose off the used filters<br />

and batteries in compliance with the current legislation.<br />

Do not allow any unauthorised person to tamper with the<br />

engine settings or to carry out modifications on the car.<br />

Never allow the vehicle to run out of fuel. This will result<br />

in misfiring of the engine and could cause harm to the<br />

catalytic converter.<br />

Parts like brake liners and clutch disc should be vacuum<br />

cleaned. Do not use compressed air for cleaning these<br />

parts which may spread the dust in the atmosphere.<br />

While carrying out the servicing or repairs of your vehicle, you<br />

should pay keen attention to some of the important engine<br />

aggregates which greatly affect emission. These components<br />

are :-<br />

1. Fuel pump, injectors<br />

2. Air intake & Exhaust system especially for leakage<br />

3. Cylinder head for valve leakage.<br />

4 All filters such as air, oil & fuel filters (check<br />

periodically)<br />

5. Catalytic convertor<br />

6. Ignition System - Spark Plug Gap<br />

precautions and maintenance care leading to environment<br />

protection. Please familliarise yourself with these aspects<br />

seat belts, headrest and seat adjustments.<br />

In addition to seat and seat belts, there are number<br />

of other features as listed alongside which are built<br />

in the design of the vehicle so as to take care of your<br />

safety.<br />

• Seat belt system<br />

• Wearing seat belt<br />

• Headrestraint<br />

SEAT BELT SYSTEM<br />

The safety of the occupants is of prime importance to us.<br />

Your ‘<strong>TATA</strong> <strong>SAFARI</strong> ‘ has many features that work together to protect<br />

the occupants.<br />

Seat Belts<br />

<strong>TATA</strong> <strong>SAFARI</strong> is equipped with seat belts as a part of occupant<br />

restraint system.<br />

Why Seat Belts<br />

Wearing seat belts properly can protect you from being thrown<br />

against the inside of the vehicle, against other occupants or out of<br />

the vehicle, in case of an accident or sudden braking. It will reduce the<br />

chances of severe injury.<br />

WEARING SEAT BELT<br />

System Components and Wearing Seat Belt<br />

Your ‘<strong>TATA</strong> <strong>SAFARI</strong>’ has three point inertia reel type front and rear seat<br />

belts in the out board positions and a lap belt for middle passenger<br />

on rear seat. In normal driving the belt lets you move freely in your<br />

seat. In case of an accident or sudden braking inertia reel automatically<br />

tightens the belt to help restrain your body.<br />

The anchor end of the shoulder belt is adjustable to suit the height of<br />

the passenger wearing it. The lap belt has one manually adjusted belt<br />

that fits across the hip bone. It is similar to safety belt used in<br />

aeroplanes.<br />

Make sure that your seat is adjusted to a good driving position and<br />

the back of the seat is upright.<br />

1. Pull the tongue across your body and insert it into the buckle.<br />

2. Check and ensure that the belt is not twisted.<br />

3. Position the lap portion of the belt as low as possible across your<br />

hip bone.<br />

4. Pull up the shoulder part of the belt to remove the slack. Make<br />

sure that the belt goes over your collar bones and across chest.<br />

5. To unlatch the belt, press the red button on the buckle. Guide the<br />

belt to the pillar as it retracts.<br />

7. When the belt has been in use in a serious accident or shows signs<br />

of severe fraying or of having been cut, replace with an approved<br />

belt kit.<br />

8. The belt must not be altered or modified during use.<br />

9. The belts are meant (intended) for adult occupants only.<br />

10. The belts if required should be replaced, by Authorised personnel<br />

only.<br />

11. The belt should not be disassembled. If required, authorised<br />

personnel only should carry out disassembly and assembly.<br />

SEAT-BELT PRECAUTIONS<br />

Seat-belt precautions for Baby, small child, Pregnant<br />

woman and injured person :<br />

<strong>TATA</strong> MOTORS strongly urges that the driver and passengers<br />

in the vehicle be properly restrained at all times with the<br />

seat-belts. Failure to do so could increase the chance of injury<br />

and / or the severity of injury in accidents.<br />

Baby or Small Child :<br />

Use child restraint system appropriate for the child until the<br />

child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s<br />

seat-belts.<br />

If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should<br />

sit in the seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s<br />

seat-belt.<br />

Also use the seat-belt while the child is in the rear seat. According<br />

to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained<br />

in the rear seat than in the front seat.<br />

Child restraint systems are available. <strong>TATA</strong> MOTORS<br />

recommend the use of a type which fits to your vehicle. Before<br />

installation, always read the manufacturer’s instructions.<br />

Pregnant Woman :<br />

<strong>TATA</strong> MOTORS recommends the use of a seat-belt. Ask your<br />

doctor for specific recommendations. The lap belt should be<br />

worn securely and as low as possible over the hips and not to<br />

waist.<br />

Injured person :<br />

<strong>TATA</strong> MOTORS recommends the use of a seat-belt for injured<br />

person. Depending on the injury, first check with your doctor<br />

for specific recommendations.<br />

DOOR LOCKS<br />

Backrest Position<br />

To get the maximum protection from the seat belts, the back of the<br />

seat should be in an upright position. If you recline the backrest,<br />

you reduce the protective capability of the seat belt.<br />

Door Locks<br />

Lock the vehicle doors when in motion. Doors are designed to<br />

remain closed and stay unlocked in accident. This is to facilitate out<br />

siders to open doors and evacuate occupants in the event of an accident.<br />

Child Lock<br />

1. Seat backrest reclining lever<br />

2. Seat height adjustment lever<br />

3. Seat adjustment (forward/backward) lever<br />

This is provided on both rear doors and tailgate.<br />

Push down the lock tab before closing the door. Now the door can<br />

not be opened by the children from inside. Locked doors can be<br />

opened only by using the respective door outer handles.<br />

Childlock<br />

AUDIO WARNING AND COLLAPSIBLE STEERING<br />

Audio Warning :<br />

Seat Belt Reminder<br />

(Beeper and tell-tale indicator)<br />

When the key is in ignition position & driver's and co-driver's<br />

seat belt is not fastened, you get an audio warning as well<br />

as tell-tale indication in cluster, indicating seat belts are not<br />

fastened. The beeper will go off automatically after a few<br />

seconds, but the tell-tale indicator will remain on as long as<br />

seat belts is not fastened.<br />

Collapsible Steering Column<br />

The steering column of <strong>TATA</strong> <strong>SAFARI</strong> is of collapsible type. During<br />

normal operation it works as a solid one piece column and<br />

takes all the steering efforts effectively. In case of frontal impact,<br />

the intermediate tube connecting upper and lower part of the<br />

column will collapse. This will prevent the steering column from<br />

protruding in the driver cabin and avoid injury to the driver.<br />

Door Open Warning<br />

Prior to driving, ensure that all the doors are properly closed. If<br />

any one of the doors is partially open, the door open indicator<br />

will come on. In addition to this, in case driver side door is not<br />

properly closed an audio beep will come for few seconds, when<br />

the key is inserted.<br />

Head Lamps ‘ON’ Reminder<br />

While leaving the vehicle (key out), if the head lamps are left<br />

on and driver door is opened, you will get an audio warning to<br />

remind you to put off the head-lamps. This beeper will go off<br />

after a few seconds or immediately if the head lamps are<br />

switched off.<br />

AIR BAGS (IF FITTED)<br />

Air Bags (If Fitted)<br />

SRS (Supplementary Restraint System)<br />

Your vehicle is fitted with an air bag for the driver, located in the steering<br />

wheel, and a passenger air bag (if fitted) is located above the glove box<br />

compartment. Airbag(s) can be identified by the “SRS AIR BAG” label on<br />

the airbag cover.<br />

The airbag is a supplementary restraint system and is designed to provide<br />

effective protection to the belted occupants during frontal collisions.<br />

The air bag system is not visible until it is activated. The activation depends<br />

upon the severity and direction of frontal collisions. Airbags are not<br />

designed to activate in rollover, rear and side collisions.<br />

Operation<br />

Sensors in the ECU detect the frontal collision severity. The air bag(s) are<br />

designed to deploy only if the collision matches the criteria for<br />

deployment.<br />

• The sensor switches close the circuit and the propellant rapidly burns<br />

in a container producing gases, which fill the airbag.<br />

• The inflating airbag deploys out of the steering wheel in the front of<br />

the driver and passenger air bag (if fitted) deploys out of the dashboard<br />

in front of the passenger. This action takes place in a fraction of a<br />

second.<br />

• The bag(s) deflate as the gas escapes through the vent holes<br />

in the airbag cushion.<br />

• Airbag(s) will only deploy with the ignition switch in<br />

“ON” position. Immediately after air bag inflation, you may<br />

notice fairly loud noise, dust or smoke and smell of the burnt<br />

propellant. This is NORMAL.<br />

• Air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not<br />

touch after inflation.<br />

• The smoke could cause breathing problems for people<br />

with a history of asthma or other breathing trouble. If such<br />

case occurs after deployment of air bag, get fresh air<br />

promptly.<br />

• Always wear seat belts. The wearing of seat belts is<br />

required even when the air bag is fitted. Air bags do not<br />

replace the seat belts.<br />

The importance of wearing seat-belts :<br />

• It will help to keep you in the proper position when the<br />

airbag inflates.<br />

Reduce the risk of injuries in any collision.<br />

• Reduce the risk of being thrown out from your vehicle in a<br />

collision.<br />

The importance of being properly seated :<br />

In a collision, the airbag inflates extremely quickly, faster than<br />

blink of an eye and with great force.<br />

• If you are too close to an inflating air bag, it could seriously<br />

injure you. Move your seat as far back as possible to allow<br />

room for air bag inflation. Never install any child restraint in<br />

the front seat where the passenger air bag is fitted, as serious<br />

injury or death may result from the force of the inflating<br />

front passenger air bag. The rear seat is safest place for the<br />

children.<br />

• Never place any object in front of you while you are seated<br />

in the front seat as it may result an injury from the object<br />

when it is forced towards you by the inflating air bag. Do not<br />

cover the steering wheel or instrument panel with an object<br />

which may prevent the proper deployment of the air bag.<br />

• Where a passenger air bag is fitted, front passenger should<br />

never sit on the edge of the seat, stand near the glove box<br />

compartment, rest feet or other parts of the body on the<br />

dash board or lean over near the glove compartment when<br />

the vehicle is moving. Passenger should also not recline the<br />

seat backwards such that the passenger goes beyond the<br />

protection range of airbags.<br />

Air bag warning light :<br />

SRS<br />

The diagnostic system continually monitors the readiness of the<br />

SRS AIR BAG while the vehicle is being driven. The air bag warning<br />

light on the instrument panel will illuminate for approximately<br />

5 seconds when the ignition is switched on. This is normal and<br />

indicates the system is performing a self check. The following<br />

components are monitored by the indicator.<br />

Airbag control module - ECU<br />

Driver airbag<br />

Passenger air bag (If fitted)<br />

Retractor Pre-tensioners.<br />

• All related wiring.<br />

If the warning light does not illuminate when ignition is switched<br />

on, or remains illuminated after the initial check period of 5<br />

seconds, or flashes, a indicates fault may exists with air bag and<br />

seat belt pre-tensioner and it should be checked by an authorized<br />

<strong>TATA</strong> MOTORS DEALER immediately.<br />

Air bag maintenance and servicing :<br />

seconds or flashes during driving, indicates fault with air bag<br />

and seat belt pre-tensioner and it should be checked by an<br />

authorized <strong>TATA</strong> MOTORS DEALER immediately.<br />

24<br />

• The air bag warning light does not illuminate when the<br />

ignition key is turned on.<br />

• The air bag warning light illuminates while driving.<br />

If the air bag system is not attended to when a warning is<br />

given, it will not function properly in the event of collision, or<br />

it may deploy unexpectedly. The air bag system fitted to<br />

your vehicle does not require regular maintenance.<br />

NOTE :<br />

1. Any maintenance on or near the SRS components must be<br />

performed only by an authorized <strong>TATA</strong> MOTORS dealer. Do<br />

not permit anyone else to do service, inspection,<br />

maintenance or repair on any SRS components or wiring.<br />

Similarly, no part of the SRS system should ever be handled<br />

or disposed of by anyone except an authorized <strong>TATA</strong><br />

MOTORS dealer. Improper work on the SRS system will result<br />

inadvertent deployment of the air bag or could render the<br />

SRS system inoperative. This could also lead to personal injury.<br />

2. Do not modify your steering wheel or any other SRS<br />

components, For example replacement of steering wheel<br />

or modifications to the steering column, front bumper, body<br />

or frame structure can adversely affect the SRS performance<br />

and lead to possible injury.

AIR BAGS & ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (IF FITTED)<br />

3. If your vehicle has received any front end damage, you should<br />

have the SRS system inspected by an authorized <strong>TATA</strong><br />

MOTORS dealer to ensure it is in proper working order.<br />

The air bag will inflate only once. The inflated air bag system will<br />

not function again and steering wheel with air bag module,<br />

steering column, seat belts and control module must be<br />

replaced immediately. If passenger airbag is fitted, air bag<br />

assembly, Air bag cover, Seat belts and dash panel must be<br />

replaced. If they are not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase<br />

the risk of injury in a collision.<br />

Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the airbag system,<br />

tampering will result in activation of the system and increase<br />

the risk of personal injury. For servicing the air bag system,<br />

see your authorized <strong>Tata</strong> <strong>Motors</strong> dealer.<br />

Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when<br />

cleaning the steering wheel or instrument panel to avoid<br />

contamination of the air bag system. Wiping with a damp<br />

cloth only is recommended.<br />

Air bags and Bull bars:<br />

<strong>TATA</strong> <strong>Motors</strong> do not guarantee the design intent performance<br />

of the supplementary restraint system incase a bull bar is fitted<br />

to the vehicle or the front structure is modified in any way.<br />

• In case of vehicle ownership transfer, <strong>Tata</strong> <strong>Motors</strong><br />

recommends the owner to inform the new owner about<br />

the presence of Supplementary Restraint System in the<br />

vehicle and also advises for reading the relevant sections<br />

in the owner’s manual.<br />

• Prior to scrapping the vehicle, owner should bring the<br />

vehicle to the authorized <strong>Tata</strong> <strong>Motors</strong> dealer for safe<br />

dismantling of supplementary restraint system.<br />

supply is 'ON' and by using the turn indicator switch on the<br />

combiswitch.<br />

The direction indicator arrow (LHS) & (RHS) on the<br />

instrument cluster flashes alongwith external indicator lights as<br />

selected.<br />

Parking Brake and<br />

P<br />

Low Brake Fluid Indicator<br />

When the parking brake is applied this indicator illuminates.<br />

Ensure that the parking brake is fully released and this<br />

indicator goes off while driving.<br />

When you turn the key to IGN position this indicator<br />

illuminates for few seconds and goes off automatically. It<br />

remains ‘ON’ when brake fluid level in the master cylinder<br />

container is low.<br />

Do not drive the vehicle if the brake fluid level indicator<br />

remains ‘ON’. Get the defect rectified.<br />

High Beam Indicator<br />

This light illuminates with the head lamps in high beam<br />

position.<br />

Low Oil Pressure Indicator<br />

This indicator light will glow when the oil pressure in the<br />

running engine drops low enough to cause damage to the<br />

engine.<br />

It should light when ignition is ‘ON’ and should go off when<br />

engine is running.<br />

If this light glows when engine is running, it indicates serious<br />

problem in engine lubrication system.<br />

Safely pull to the side of the road and shut off the engine as<br />

soon as possible.<br />

Continuously glowing of light indicates fault in lubrication<br />

system.<br />

Do not run the engine when low oil pressure, indicator<br />

light is ON. In such a case contact the nearest authorised<br />

workshop for rectification of fault.<br />

Battery Charging Indicator<br />

This light should come ON when<br />

ignition is ‘ON’ and should go off after the engine starts. If<br />

it remains ‘ON’ when engine is running, it indicates battery<br />

is not getting charged.<br />

In such a case, avoid using electrical loads and get the<br />

problem attended at an authorised workshop.<br />

4H, 4L Indicator *<br />

(* For 4WD model only)<br />

With ignition ‘ON’ and transfer case switch in 2H mode both 4H<br />

and 4L indicator lamps on instrument panel should glow for a<br />

few seconds only and go ‘OFF’.<br />

Continuous illumination indicates an electrical fault. Do not run<br />

the vehicle if both 4H and 4L lamps are ON.<br />

The 4H or 4L lamps will glow only when the transfer case is<br />

either in 4H or 4L mode.<br />

Low fuel Indication<br />

If the needle shows red mark on fuel gauge. it means there is a<br />

little fuel approximately 10 litres in the tank and you should fill<br />

the tank at the earliest.<br />

ABS Indicators<br />

(Where ABS is fitted)<br />

ABS<br />

ABS indicator light on instrument<br />

cluster illuminates approx. for 5 sec. when the ignition key is<br />

turned to ‘ON’ position. This is normal and indicates the system is<br />

performing a self check. If the light does not illuminate when<br />

ignition is ‘ON’ or remains illuminated after initial self check and<br />

while driving or flashes, fault may exist in the ABS system.<br />

In this case also the normal braking system is still effective and<br />

can able to provide normal stopping ability. Even though we<br />

recommend taking the vehicle to the nearest dealer and<br />

inspecting your car as soon as possible if the warning light<br />

stays on.<br />

Electronic Brake Distribution<br />

(EBD) indicator<br />

If the ABS and the brake system indicator light comes<br />

together even after the parking brake is fully released, then<br />

the Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) i.e. the front to rear<br />

brake force distribution system is also not working. This<br />

will lead to the rear wheel lock while braking. Avoid sudden<br />

hard braking and take the car immediately to the nearest<br />

dealer to fix the system.<br />

‘CHECK ENGINE’ Indicator<br />

CHECK<br />

ENGINE<br />

This lamp indicates engine condition, when a malfunctioning<br />

occurs in Engine OR EMS. This lamp indicates as below :<br />

1. Comes ‘ON’ when key is in ‘IGN’ position and goes ‘OFF’<br />

when engine is running.<br />

2. remains ‘ON’ in engine running if malfunctioning occurs.<br />

SRS Indicator (Where air bag is fitted)<br />

SRS indicator light on instrument cluster illuminates approx.<br />

for 5 sec. when the ignition key is turned to ‘ON’ position.<br />

This is normal and indicates the system is performing a self<br />

check. If the light does not illuminate when ignition is ON<br />

or remains illuminated after initial self check and while<br />

driving or flashes, fault may exist in the system, get the<br />

defect rectified by authorised service outlet.<br />

GAUGES<br />

if other circuit fails.<br />

If this happens you will immediately notice that the brake<br />

pedal goes down much farther and you need to press the<br />

pedal harder. In such an event the stopping distance may be<br />

longer.<br />

In case of failure of vacuum the vehicle can still be stopped<br />

with a higher pedal effort.<br />

In case of vacuum failure (Due to alternator/drive belt failure<br />

or pipe line damage) or brake circuit failure, slow down the<br />

vehicle by shifting to lower gear and lifting your foot from<br />

the accelerator pedal. Pull to the side of the road as soon<br />

as it is safe.<br />

Brake system failure is very hazardous. It is best to<br />

have your vehicle towed, but if you drive the vehicle in<br />

this condition, be extremely cautious.<br />

Have your vehicle attended immediately.<br />

Put your foot on brake pedal to apply brake. Do not ride the<br />

brakes as they may overheat and the performance may be<br />

impaired. The brake lights may confuse the drivers behind you.<br />

Use engine to assist the brakes by shifting to a lower gear and<br />

lifting your foot from accelerator pedal.<br />

Constant application of brakes while going down the hill builds<br />

heat and reduces braking efficiency.<br />

Check your brakes after driving through deep water. Apply<br />

the brakes moderately to feel that they are normal. If not,<br />

apply them gently and frequently until they do. With wet<br />

brakes you should be extra cautious and alert in your driving.<br />

Anti Lock Brake System (ABS) – if fitted<br />

ABS combined with the traditional hydraulic brake system prevents<br />

the wheel from locking while braking by make use of<br />

most of road to tyre grip. It also ensures better control and<br />

stability of car while braking.<br />

How ABS works<br />

ABS essentially consists of an Electronic Control Unit (ECU)<br />

which reads signals from the sensors fitted to each wheel and<br />

identifies the one which is likely to lock. ( Wheels will tend to<br />

lock when the speed of rotation of any one wheel becomes<br />

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM<br />

too low in relation to the vehicle speed.) It tells an Electro<br />

Hydraulic Control Unit (HU) to reduce, maintain or increase the<br />

pressure on the brake control cylinder in order to prevent the<br />

wheel from locking. The ABS comes into play when the car is<br />

braked heavily during emergency.<br />

The driver feels the effort of the ABS through the<br />

pulsating of the brake pedal and audible noise in the<br />

brake system.<br />

This is absolutely Normal. This should not be<br />

interpreted as a fault in the brakes. On the contrary it’s<br />

the indication that the ABS is working. This is an intentional<br />

warning to the driver that a wheel or wheels are tending to lock<br />

up due to the limit of tyre to road adhesion.<br />

In this situation it is important to keep the brake pedal<br />

depressed fully so that the ABS can regulate the brake<br />

application. On No account pump the brake pedal<br />

The ABS is addition to the basic brake system. It is activated<br />

automatically every time the engine is started. If there is a<br />

malfunction the system turns off automatically indicated by a<br />

‘(ABS)’ warning lamp on the dash board, still the ordinary brake<br />

system continues to work.<br />

ABS Activation<br />

ABS activation varies with various road surfaces i.e. the amount<br />

of traction your tyre have on a particular surface. On dry surface<br />

you will need more pedal effort to activate ABS. However you<br />

may feel ABS activates immediately if you try to stop on snow,<br />

ice or slippery surface.<br />

The ABS is self check. If any thing goes wrong the ABS warning<br />

indicator comes on the instrument panel. When you switch<br />

on the Ignition the ABS light turns ON but should go out<br />

after about 5 seconds. If the light fails to go or the lighting<br />

up of the warning light when the engine is running or<br />

the light comes at any other time, it indicates there is a<br />

fault in the ABS only. In this case also the normal braking<br />

system is still effective and is able to provide normal<br />

stopping ability.<br />

Even thought we recommend taking the vehicle to the nearest<br />

dealer and inspecting your car as soon as possible if the warning<br />

light stays on.<br />

ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM<br />

Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD)<br />

indicator<br />

together even after the parking brake is fully released,<br />

then the Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) i.e. the<br />

front to rear brake force distribution system is also not<br />

working. This will lead to the rear wheel lock while braking.<br />

Avoid sudden hard braking and take the car immediately to<br />

the nearest dealer to fix the system.<br />

Safety tips while driving with ABS<br />

1) During a hard braking or when the road grip is poor, you<br />

will feel the brake pedal is pulsating and an audible noise<br />

in the system. This is absolutely Normal and it’s the<br />

indication that your ABS is rapidly pumping the brakes. Do<br />

not release the brake pedal, this defeats the purpose of<br />

ABS. Keep firm steady pressure on the brake pedal so as<br />

not to interrupt the braking action as long as you steer<br />

away from the hazard.<br />

2) ABS prevents the wheel from locking but it does not<br />

increase actual tyre to road grip. Hence even if your<br />

car is fitted with ABS, maintain a safe following distance.<br />

3) ABS does not reduce either time or stopping<br />

distance, It only helps steering control during braking. You<br />

should always keep a safe distance from other vehicles.<br />

4) ABS will not prevent skidding of a car that results<br />

from changing direction abruptly such as trying to<br />

take a corner too fast or making a sudden lane change.<br />

5) ABS cannot prevent a loss of stability due to severe<br />

or sharp steering wheel movement. Always steer<br />

moderately while braking hard.<br />

6) ABS requires a little longer stopping distance than<br />

a vehicle with conventional brake system on a loose<br />

or uneven surface, such as gravel or snow. Slow down<br />

and allow a safe following distance.<br />

7) ABS serves to increase your control over the car not<br />

to enable you to go faster.<br />

TRANSFER CASE, AUTOMATIC HUB LOCK & LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL<br />

Transfer Case and Transfer Case Selector Electric Switch<br />

(If fitted)<br />

On four wheel drive vehicles transfer case is fitted after the<br />

gear box for driving front live axle along with rear axle.<br />

The following 3 selector positions are provided on the knob.<br />

2H - Only two rear wheels are driven and transfer case<br />

operates at 1:1 ratio.<br />

4H - All four wheels are driven and transfer case operates<br />

at 1:1 ratio.<br />

4L - All four wheels are driven and transfer case operates<br />

at 2.48:1 speed reduction ratio.<br />

4X4 Selector Switch<br />

Automatic Hub Lock<br />

For driving in 2H mode keep the selector knob in 2H position.<br />

(*For 4 WD model only)<br />

Automatic Hub Locks<br />

While driving in 2H mode this mechanism on the front axle<br />

hub allows the hub to free wheel. This avoids the unnecessary<br />

spinning of front drive components and results in fuel saving,<br />

reduced noise and longer component life.<br />

As soon as 4H or 4L mode is selected the hub gets<br />

automatically connected to front drive line to increase the<br />

traction.<br />

Limited Slip Differential<br />

(Standard on 4x4 and optional on others)<br />

A standard differential delivers torque equally to each wheel.<br />

In case one wheel loses traction and begins to spin, the<br />

differential distributes the rotary speed unequally but with<br />

same torque. This can cause the wheel with good traction to<br />

slow down or stop while the wheel which lost traction rotates<br />

with increased speed. Such a situation can prevent the vehicle<br />

from moving.<br />

The limited slip differential provided in the rear axle takes<br />

care of such situations. The clutch lock arrangement provided<br />

internally, ensures that in case one wheel loses traction and<br />

begins to slip, a locking action takes place which prevents<br />

differential action and both wheels turn at the same speed.<br />

LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVING<br />

Thus unnecessary spinning of one wheel is avoided and torque<br />

is transmitted to both wheels, thus assisting the vehicle to traverse<br />

loose terrain. However during normal driving, the differential<br />

action takes place in the same manner as in a standard differential.<br />

1. Four Wheel Drive Operation<br />

In 2-H mode, only the rear two wheels of the vehicle are<br />

powered by the engine and the front wheels are merely<br />

pushed. By shifting to four wheel drive mode (4H or 4L)<br />

the rear as well as the front axles get geared to the engine<br />

through transfer case and transmit the engine power to all<br />

four wheels. This gives the vehicle increased traction.<br />

In 4H mode, the transmitted engine torque and vehicle<br />

speed remain the same as in 2H. However, when you shift<br />

to 4L mode engine torque is multiplied and vehicle moves<br />

at low speed in the same gears with increased traction. 4L<br />

mode is provided for negotiating sharp gradients or driving<br />

through loose soil/sand.<br />

2. Shifting from 2H to 4H<br />

Turn the selector knob from 2H to 4H position. 4H indicator<br />

on instrument panel will light up. Changing from 2H to 4H<br />

can be done at any speed upto 65 km/h (40 mph). No<br />

pressing of clutch pedal is required.<br />

3. Shifting from 4H to 2H<br />

Turn the selector knob from 4H to 2H position. 4H indicator<br />

on instrument panel will go off. Changing from 4H to 2H<br />

Free Wheeling of Front Hub<br />

After shifting from 4H to 2H, for effecting free wheeling of front<br />

wheels, direction of vehicle motion needs to be changed. If<br />

the vehicle was moving forward in 4H then bring it to halt and<br />

engage reverse gear of main gear box. (If it was moving reverse<br />

in 4H mode then stop it, and then engage forward gear of<br />

main gear box.) After stopping and changing the gear the<br />

vehicle must travel in opposite direction for a minimum of three<br />

meters, before free wheeling takes place.<br />

4. Shifting from 4H to 4L<br />

Stop the vehicle. Press clutch pedal. Turn the selector knob<br />

from 4H to 4L position. 4L indicator light on instrument panel<br />

will blink few times and remain on.<br />

5. Shifting from 4L to 4H<br />

from 4L to 4H position. 4H indicator light on instrument panel<br />

will blink few times and will remain on.<br />

FUEL ECONOMY<br />

Do not engage four wheel drive mode (4H or 4L)<br />

continuously on dry and hard road surface. It can cause<br />

expensive damage to the vehicle transmission and the<br />

tyres.<br />

Four wheel drive facility is a powerful tool which enables the<br />

vehicle to traverse terrain which is otherwise inaccessible to<br />

two wheel drive vehicles. However, it must be used judiciously<br />

and carefully. Do not take unnecessary risks and attempt the<br />

impossible. Familiarise yourself thoroughly with the vehicle<br />

and its abilities before attempting serious off road driving.<br />

With ignition ‘ON’ 4H & 4L indicator lamp on panel should glow<br />

for a few seconds only & then go off. Continuous illumination<br />

of 4L & 4H lamps indicates electrical fault.<br />

Fuel Economy<br />

A. Drive smoothly, accelerate gradually and anticipate stops.<br />

B. Best fuel consumption is achieved at low engine speeds,<br />

the highest possible gear without labouring the engine.<br />

C. Driving with accelerator pedal fully depressed means<br />

using excessive fuel.<br />

D. Do not allow engine to labour. Change to lower gear<br />

when engine no longer runs smoothly.<br />

E. If possible, do not idle the engine for more than 5 minutes.<br />

Switch off the engine.<br />

F. Do not ride the clutch. Do not use clutch pedal as foot rest.<br />

G*.When changing from 4H/4L to 2H of transfer case, 2H free<br />

wheeling should be done.<br />

If 2H free wheeling is not done the hub locks of front hub<br />

remain locked causing unnecessary rotation of front drive<br />

components and this consumes more fuel and causes<br />

wear and tear of front axle components.<br />

H. Depending on traffic conditions, a constant speed should<br />

be maintained.<br />

The vehicle uses more fuel, every time you speed up or<br />

slow down.<br />

I. Hard braking, abrupt cornering and rapid acceleration<br />

use more fuel. Avoid these.<br />

(*For 4 WD model only.)<br />

DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS<br />

Driving on Snowy or Icy Roads<br />

Set the selector knob to 4H position. Gently release the clutch<br />

and apply the accelerator for a smooth start and to avoid wheel<br />

spin.<br />

Use of snow tyres and / or tyre chain is recommended.<br />

Maintain a safe distance between vehicles to avoid sudden<br />

braking and slow down by shifting down the gears.<br />

Avoid sudden acceleration, braking or turning. Such sharp<br />

manoeuvers can cause loss of traction and thereby loss of vehicle<br />

control.<br />

Driving on Sandy or Muddy Roads<br />

In case the traction on the wheels is sufficient, you may be<br />

able to proceed in 4H mode. However in case change in<br />

road conditions are anticipated, it is better to select the 4L<br />

mode. Shift the selector knob to 4L position by following<br />

the correct procedure and proceed in the normal manner.<br />

Your vehicle will move at a slower pace with higher engine<br />

RPM in the same gear because of the 4L mode. To match<br />

your power and speed requirements, you can shift up in<br />

any of the 5 forward gears or the reverse gear.<br />

You may choose to reduce the tyre pressure marginally for<br />

additional grip on loose surfaces, though with a slight loss of<br />

ground clearance.<br />

• Try to maintain a constant engine speed and avoid sudden<br />

acceleration which can cause wheel spin and loss of traction,<br />

possibly leading to bogging down of the vehicle.<br />

• If the vehicle gets stuck in loose sand, do not keep on<br />

accelerating as the wheel spin will only result in the<br />

wheels sinking deeper.<br />

• The extent of muddy / sandy, conditions and the traction<br />

available is difficult to judge and the vehicle can get<br />

bogged down deeply. Operation should be done at slow<br />

speed only. If possible, get down and check the path<br />

conditions before proceeding.<br />

Driving Through Water<br />

86<br />

Never venture to drive through water when it flows over guard stones.<br />

Engine may get seriously damaged if attempted to cross over through deep water.<br />

If at all the situation demands that you have to drive through water then;<br />

- Keep engine in fast idling and crawl the vehicle in low gear.<br />

- After driving through water apply brakes several times to dry liners and to regain<br />

original braking.<br />

Do not attempt to start the engine if vehicle gets flooded due to water.<br />

Tow the vehicle to a safe place.<br />

• Get the starter and alternator checked.<br />

Driving on a Rainy Day<br />

Check brakes, steering and windows.<br />

Check tyres for wear and tyre pressure.<br />

Check wiper blades for proper functioning.<br />

Avoid harsh braking and sharp turns. It may cause loss of control and lead to a skid.<br />

For slowing down, shift to lower gears and brake gently.<br />

• Keep lights ON if visibility is poor.<br />

Take the vehicle to nearest AUTHORISED Workshop to check entry of water in cylinders.<br />

It will also be necessary to replace lubricants of engine, gearbox, transfer case, front<br />

axle and rear axle if water has entered.

Night Driving<br />

Dip the head lamp for oncoming traffic during night driving.<br />

Maintain a speed such that you can stop within illuminated distance of head lamps.<br />

Use head lamp main/dip beam to alert other road users on turns/cross roads etc.<br />

Use side indicators for lane change or turning.<br />

Put on hazard warning switch in case of hazardous parking or if your vehicle is disabled<br />

to warn the passing traffic.<br />

Climbing Sharp Gradients on Loose Surfaces<br />

• Select the 4L mode, start off smoothly in any suitable gear. Apply power smoothly so<br />

that there is no loss of traction by over-revving of the engine.<br />

• Choose as smooth a slope as possible and select the appropriate gear so that gear<br />

changing in the middle of the climb is not required.<br />

Changing gears in the middle of the climb can cause loss of momentum and engine<br />

stalling. Shifting to lower gear has to be done cautiously to avoid loss of traction.<br />

• Under no conditions should the vehicle be moved diagonally across a hill. The danger<br />

is in loss of traction and sideways slippage, possibly resulting in tipping over. If<br />

unavoidable, choose as mild an angle as possible and keep the vehicle moving.<br />

• If the wheels start to slip within few feet of the end of the climb, motion can be<br />

maintained by swinging the steered wheels left and right, thereby providing increased<br />

grip.<br />

• If the vehicle stalls or losses headway while climbing a steep hill, make a quick shift to<br />

reverse and allow the vehicle to move back with the control of engine compression.<br />

Descending Sharp Gradients<br />

Select the 4L mode and depending on the severity of the gradient, shift into<br />

appropriate gear. Use engine braking judiciously without over-revving the engine.<br />

Brake application under such situations should be done very smoothly to avoid loss of<br />

Select appropriate gear so that gear changing or clutch disengagement is not involved<br />

while descending the gradient.<br />

Towing the Vehicle<br />

For towing the vehicle, the best way is to use a recovery van.<br />

Alternatively use a rigid tow bar.<br />

• Avoid using flexible cable or rope as your vehicle may crash into towing vehicle when<br />

it stops suddenly.<br />

Switch ‘ON’ Hazard warning switch to warn the other road users.<br />

• Keep the engine in idling so that power steering assistance is available. This will also<br />

built the vacuum for the brakes.<br />

• In case of brake failure, use parking brake to control the vehicle.<br />

Roof Rail<br />

The provision for mounting roof racks is made on the vehicle. This can be done with<br />

the help of roof and roof header mouldings provided above the rear fixed glass. The<br />

max. load on this including roof rack load should not exceed 100 kg.<br />

paper filter element.<br />

Do not operate the vehicle without air filter as this will lead to increased<br />

engine wear or permanent damage.<br />

COOLING SYSTEM<br />

Engine Cooling System<br />

If engine overheating occurs, there could be a fault in the cooling system<br />

which may be on account of :<br />

1. Less coolant in the cooling system or dirt/scale having accumulated<br />

inside cooling water passages especially in the radiator core.<br />

2. Choking of radiator passages due to foreign material or damages.<br />

3. Defective thermostat.<br />

4. Defective coolant temperature sensor.<br />

5. Non operation of electrically operated fans (Controlled by ECU).<br />

6. Coolant leakage.<br />

7. Radiator cap not sealing properly.<br />

8. A.C. condenser fan not working<br />

9. Excessive refrigerant charging in the A.C. system.<br />

Prevention of Rust Formation<br />

To prevent rust formation in the radiator use premixed recommended<br />

anti-freeze coolant.<br />

This is sufficient to operate the vehicle upto -40 o C.<br />

In case the engine water outlet temperature exceeds 115 0 C, the AC<br />

system will be suppressed temporarily by engine management<br />

system, till the engine outlet water temperature drops below 110 0 C.<br />

Please check the cause as indicated above.<br />

HEAD LAMPS & HEAD LAMP FOCUS ADJUSTMENT<br />

Head Lamps<br />

The Head Lamp provides two types of light beams - a high beam to<br />

give max. light well ahead of vehicle and a low beam which is shorter<br />

and lower so that it should not dazzle the oncoming drivers and can<br />

be used in low visibility area.<br />

Head lamp also has parking lamp and a separate pencil beam for high<br />

visibility which comes on with high beam.<br />

The head lamps must be properly aligned in order to obtain max.,<br />

proper road illumination and reduced glare for oncoming traffic. It is<br />

recommended to check alignment of head lamp beams periodically.<br />

Adjusting Head Lamp Focus with the Help of Screen (RHD)<br />

Head Lamp<br />

The vehicle should be parked ten meters away from the screen on flat<br />

ground with its centre in-line with central vertical line on screen and<br />

screen at right angles to longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The vehicle<br />

should be in unloaded condition with no sag in suspension springs<br />

and all tyres inflated as per recommended tyre pressures.<br />

On the marked up screen as shown in figure, area above horizontal<br />

and inclined lines (shaded) is called ‘Dark Zone’ and the area below is<br />

called as the Illuminated Zone.<br />

Each head lamp is aligned individually by masking the other head lamp.<br />

Head lamp is first adjusted for proper height of low beam by inserting<br />

HEAD LAMP FOCUS ADJUSTMENT<br />

screw driver in the slot available in the levelling motor as shown in fig.<br />

Light from low beam should fall below horizontal and inclined lines. No<br />

light should fall i.e. in Dark Zone. Thereafter lateral adjustment is done<br />

by adjusting screw at the bottom refer fig. so that contour of low beam<br />

coincides with contour formed by horizontal and inclined lines below<br />

“Dark Zone”.<br />

When properly adjusted, most brightly illuminated area will be just below<br />

the inter section point ‘A’ of these two lines.<br />

Now switch ‘ON’ high beam. They will be symmetrical above points ‘A’ &<br />

‘B’ of intersection of vertical lines and horizontal lines.<br />

It is possible that high beam may not be exactly symmetrical but for this<br />

reason head lamp should not be realigned. Preferably alignment should<br />

be done in dark.<br />

Headlamp focusing (where headlamp leveling switch is fitted) should<br />

be carried out in the level ‘0’ position of the switch only.<br />

locking lever holding the bulb and remove the bulb.<br />

Install new bulb, properly locating it in the housing. Fit back the locking<br />

lever cable socket and rubber cap.<br />

Repeat the same procedure for pencil beam lamp.<br />

Realign Head Lamp after Replacing Bulb<br />

Do not clean or touch the reflector as it will damage the mirror finish<br />

of the surface.<br />

Your vehicle has halogen head lamp bulb and pencil beam bulb one<br />

each on each side. When replacing, handle it by steel base. Protect<br />

the glass from contact with your skin or hard object. If you touch glass,<br />

clean it with denatured alcohol and clean cloth.<br />

CLUTCH, BRAKE, POWER STEERING<br />

Clutch Fluid<br />

The <strong>Tata</strong> Safari vehicle is equipped with a diaphragm type clutch Which is<br />

hydraulically actuated.<br />

The level of clutch fluid in clutch fluid container should be in between<br />

Min. and Max. marks. If it is below min. mark, then add clutch fluid.<br />

In case of spongy or hard clutch pedal, please contact the nearest<br />

Authorised Workshop and get the defect rectified.<br />

Brake Fluid<br />

Check the level of Brake fluid in Brake fluid container.<br />

It should be in between Min. and Mix. marks.<br />

If it is below min. mark, then add brake fluid.<br />

In case of spongy or hard pedal or low brake efficiency, please contact<br />

the nearest Authorised Workshop and get the defect rectified.<br />

Power Steering Fluid<br />

Power steering is fitted for lighter steering effect and easy<br />

manoeuverability. The system consists of steering gear box, hydraulic<br />

pump and hydraulic tank suitably connected by piping. Pump drive is<br />

though ‘V’ belt from engine. Power assistance is available during normal<br />

operating conditions. In case of failure in hydraulic system, the steering<br />

can be operated mechanically with increased steering effort for bringing<br />

the vehicle to Authorised Workshop.<br />

POWER STEERING<br />

Procedure for Oil Filling and Bleeding of Power<br />

Steering (Ensure that Power Steering fluid reservoir is totally<br />

clean before starting the work)<br />

1. Fill the reservoir nearly full. Crank the engine for 10<br />

seconds without allowing it to start (if possible). If engine<br />

does start, shut the engine immediately. Check & refill<br />

the reservoir repeat atleast three times, each time<br />

checking & refilling the reservoir.<br />

2. Check for leakage in the system and if noticed take<br />

corrective action.<br />

3. Start the engine and steer the vehicle from full left to full<br />

right turns 3-4 times.<br />

4 . Add fluid if necessary to maintain the level upto filter top.<br />

Do not force the wheel against lock position either<br />

extreme left or right. The power steering pump may get<br />

damaged. Hold it lightly.<br />

5. When the engine is at steady speed, check for bubble<br />

or foaming in the oil. If present it indicates that air is<br />

getting sucked into the systems. Check the suction<br />

line/fittings and correct if necessary.<br />

6. Once the system is bled properly and free from foaming<br />

there should not be any appreciable change in oil level<br />

in the reservoir, when the engine is started or stopped<br />

repeatedly.<br />

7. Now the system is ready for driving.<br />

Final oil level should be at ‘H’ mark on dip stick.<br />

* Do not allow fluid level to drop significantly or run out<br />

of the reservoir during the above operation. This may<br />

induce air to the system.<br />

* Do not start the engine without oil in the power steering<br />

system. This will result in serious damage to the<br />

pump. In case of emergency disconnect the pump belt<br />

and then start the engine.<br />

* Always use recommended oil from closed containers.<br />

Any dirty oil poured in the system will result in damage<br />

to pump and gear box.<br />

LOAD CONSCIOUS PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE (IF FITTED)<br />

Load Conscious Pressure Reducing Valve (If fitted)<br />

( Not applicable in ABS system)<br />

A load conscious pressure reducing valve eliminates the<br />

possibility of rear wheels from locking and achieves optimum<br />

braking in any load condition of the vehicle.<br />

The valve, is fitted on RH long member connecting it to rear<br />

axle through its link and control spring.<br />

If any, alteration is done in rear suspension, the performance<br />

of this valve will be impaired.<br />

Load Conscious Pressure<br />

Reducing Valve<br />

Coil Spring<br />

Remote By-pass Valve (If fitted)<br />

The by-pass valve is provided in the rear brake circuit between<br />

tandem master cylinder and LCRV. The by-pass valve bypasses<br />

the LCRV (Load Conscious Pressure Reducing Valve) in rear<br />

only braking (i.e. front brake failed) condition. The feedback of<br />

front line pressure is provided to the by-pass valve. in case of<br />

front brake failure, the low front line presure being sensed by<br />

the by-pass valve and the 100% brake line pressure from tandem<br />

master cylinder is applied on to the rear brakes without<br />

reduction in pressure.<br />

BATTERY<br />

Battery is placed in Engine compartment.<br />

Check the battery for proper electrolyte level and corrosion on<br />

terminals.<br />

* The battery gives off explosive gases during normal operation.<br />

A spark or open flame can cause the battery to explode causing<br />

very serious injuries.<br />

* Keep all sparks & open flames and smoking materials away from<br />

the battery.<br />

* Getting electrolyte in your eyes or skin can cause severe burns.<br />

Wear protective clothing and a face shield or let a skilled<br />

technician do the battery maintenance.<br />

* Battery contains sulphuric acid (electrolyte) which is poisonous<br />

and highly corrosive in nature.<br />

1. Check the battery for electrolyte level with marked lines on the<br />

battery outer case.<br />

2. Check Battery terminals for corrosion (a white or yellowish<br />

powder). To remove it, cover the terminals with solution of baking<br />

soda. It will bubble up and turn brown.<br />

When this stops, wash it off with plain water. Dry off the battery with<br />

a cloth or paper towel. Coat the terminal with Petroleum Jelly to<br />

prevent future corrosion.<br />

BATTERY, STARTING THE ENGINE WITH JUMP LEADS<br />

The use of a wrench to loosen and remove cables from the<br />

terminals should be made. Always disconnect the negative<br />

(-ve) cable first and reconnect it last. Clean the battery<br />

terminals with a terminal cleaning tool or wire brush.<br />

Reconnect and tighten the cables, coat the terminals with<br />

petroleum jelly. If you need to connect the battery to a<br />

charger, disconnect both cables to prevent damage to the<br />

vehicle’s electrical system.<br />

Charging the battery with the cables connected can<br />

seriously damage your vehicle’s electronic controls.<br />

Detach the battery cables before connecting battery to<br />

a charger.<br />

* Swallowing electrolyte can cause fatal poisoning if<br />

immediate action is not taken.<br />

Starting the Engine with Jump Leads<br />

Your Safari with a discharged battery may be started by<br />

transferring electrical power from a battery in another vehicle.<br />

This may be dangerous as any deviation from the following<br />

instructions could lead to personal injury or damage<br />

resulting from battery explosion, as well as the damage to<br />

the electrical systems in both vehicles.<br />

• Never expose the battery to open flames or sparks.<br />

• Do not allow battery electrolyte to come in contact with<br />

eyes, skins, fabrics or painted surfaces. The fluid<br />

contains sulphuric acid which can cause injuries and<br />

damage in the event of direct contact.<br />

• To lessen the risk of injury wear eye protection when<br />

working near any battery.<br />

• Make sure that battery providing the jump start has the<br />

same voltage as the battery in your vehicle (12 V). Its<br />

capacity must not be substantially lower than that of the<br />

discharged battery. The voltage and capacity are given<br />

on the batteries.<br />

• Do not disconnect the discharged battery from the vehicle.<br />

• Switch off all unnecessary electrical loads.<br />

• Do not lean over the battery during jump starting.<br />

• Do not allow the terminals of one lead to touch those of<br />

the other lead.<br />

• Apply hand brake. Place gear shift lever to neutral.<br />

Connect Leads in the Order as shown on next page<br />

• Do not connect lead to negative terminal of discharged<br />

battery.<br />

The connection point should be as far away from the<br />

discharged battery as possible.<br />

• Route the leads so that they cannot catch on rotating parts in the<br />

engine compartment.<br />

The engine of the vehicle providing the jump start can be allowed<br />

to run during starting.<br />

STARTING THE ENGINE WITH JUMP LEADS, WHEELS & TYRES<br />

Attempts to start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery<br />

should be made at intervals of one minute and should not last longer<br />

than 15 seconds. After starting, allow both engines to idle for<br />

approximately 3 minutes with the leads still connected.<br />

Always use only recommended size of wheel rims and tyres. Use of rims<br />

and tyres not recommended by us may have adverse effect on vehicle<br />

safety and further more could infringe on vehicle regulations.<br />

If you have flat tyres<br />

1) Reduce vehicle speed gradually keeping it is a straight line. Move<br />

cautiously off the road to safe place away from traffic. Park the<br />

vehicle on a level and firm ground. Apply parking brake & engage<br />

1st gear.<br />

press at centre of cover to lock cover on to the bracket. Ensure that<br />

the cover is locked on to the spare wheel cover mounting bracket<br />

(the sound is heard during assembly).<br />

Check tyre pressure and nut tightness of change wheel at nearest<br />

Service station. Also, get the puncture tyre repaired.<br />

WHEELS AND TYRES<br />

Wheel Alignment<br />

Correct wheel alignment helps to decrease tyre wear. You<br />

should get your vehicle’s wheel alignment checked regularly.<br />

In case uneven tyre wear is observed, vehicle’s wheel alignment<br />

should be checked as soon as possible.<br />

Wheel Balancing<br />

Wheels are balanced at the factory. They may need to be<br />

rebalanced at some time before they are worn out. The wheels<br />

should be checked for balance if tyre or tube is repaired.<br />

Whenever a tyre or wheel rim is changed tyre needs to be<br />

balanced.<br />

1. Permissible imbalance for tyre with rim = 250 gm-cm (max.)<br />

2. Total balance weight should be within 140 gms on each<br />

side.<br />

3. Relocate the tyre if the weight required to balance is more<br />

than 140 gm.<br />

4. Do not use more than one balance weight on one side.<br />

Tyre<br />

Check for the inflation and condition of your <strong>TATA</strong> <strong>SAFARI</strong> tyres<br />

periodically.<br />

Inflation<br />

Check the pressure in the tyres when they are cold.<br />

Refer to tyre information label fitted on fuel flap inside for<br />

correct cold tyre pressure.<br />

You should have your own tyre pressure gauge and use it<br />

all times. This makes easier for you to tell if pressure loss<br />

is caused by a tyre problem and not by variation between<br />

gauges.<br />

Keeping the tyres properly inflated gives you the best<br />

combination of riding comfort. handling and tyre life.<br />

Over inflation of tyres makes the vehicle ride bumpy and<br />

harsh. Tyres are more prone to uneven wear and damage<br />

from road hazards.<br />

Under inflated tyres reduce your comfort in vehicle handling<br />

and are prone to failures due to high temperature. They<br />

also cause uneven wear.<br />

Spare Wheel<br />

Inspection<br />

Every time you check inflation pressure, you should also examine<br />

tyres for damage, foreign objects and wear.<br />

You should look for :<br />

• Bumps or bulges in the tread or the side of the tyre. Replace<br />

the tyre if you find either of these conditions.<br />

• Cuts, splits or cracks in the side of the tyre. Replace the tyre<br />

if you see the fabric or cord.<br />

• Excessive tread wear.<br />

Tyre Rotation<br />

To help increase tyre life and distribute wear more evenly you<br />

should have tyres rotated at specified intervals or earlier<br />

depending on the operation of vehicle.<br />

The illustrations shows how to rotate tyres when normal spare<br />

wheel is included in tyre rotation.<br />

Spare wheel is located at rear on the tail gate of the vehicle.<br />

Repairing a Tyre<br />

• Mark suitability the tyre position (if original colour dot mark is<br />

not visible) with reference to valve stem hole to ensure that the<br />

tyre is refitted in original location.<br />

Ensure that balancing weights are not disturbed during removal<br />

of tyres.<br />

• Check the balance weight prior to removal of tyre if found loose,<br />

mark its location on rim & refit properly. Balance the wheel after<br />

every dismantling and assembly of tyre on wheel rim.<br />

• Tightening torque of wheel nut is 12-15 mkg.<br />

While fitting wheels on vehicle ensure that wheel bolts are free<br />

from dust, scratches, dirt, dents, etc.<br />

TYRES<br />

• Do not apply any oil on the wheel nut or bolt. Wipe off if present.<br />

VEHICLE CARE<br />

VEHICLE CARE :<br />

The car is subjected to many external influences such as climate,<br />

road conditions, industrial pollution and proximity to the sea.<br />

These conditions demand regular care of the car body. Dirt,<br />

insects, bird droppings, oil, grease, fuel and stone chippings should<br />

be removed as soon as possible.<br />

Washing :<br />

Do not wash the car in direct sunlight, wash in shade. Spray the<br />

car thoroughly with a cold water jet (car on a washing pit or<br />

hoist). Mix car shampoo in the wash water. No solvent (fuel,<br />

thinners) need be used.<br />

Avoid wiping of painted surface in dry condition as it may<br />

leave scratches on the painted surface.<br />

Use a soft bristle brush, sponge or soft cloth and rinse it<br />

frequently while washing. When you have washed the whole<br />

exterior, dry it with a chamois or soft cloth. After drying the car,<br />

inspect it for chips and scratches that could allow corrosion to<br />

start. Apply touch up paint where necessary.<br />

For vehicles with Rear View Camera : Use cover for camera<br />

during washing.<br />

Polishes :<br />

Polishes and cleaners can restore shine to the painted surface<br />

that has oxidised and become dull. They normally contain mild<br />

abrasives and solvents that remove the top layer of the finish<br />

coat. Polish your car if the finish does not regain its original shine<br />

after using wax.<br />

Cleaning of Carpets :<br />

Vacuum clean the carpet regularly to remove dirt. Dirt will make<br />

the carpet wear out faster. Periodically shampoo the carpet to<br />

keep it looking new.<br />

Use carpet cleaners (preferably foam type). Follow the<br />

instructions that come with the cleaner, applying it with a<br />

sponge or soft brush. Keep the carpeting as dry as possible<br />

by not adding water to the foam.<br />

Cleaning of Windows, Front & Rear Glasses :<br />

Clean the windows inside and outside with commercially<br />

available glass cleaners.<br />

This will remove the haze that builds up on the inside of<br />

windows. Use a soft cloth or paper towels to clean all glass and<br />

plastic surfaces.<br />

Maintaining the car when not in extended use :<br />

Park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-ventilated<br />

premises.<br />

Engage a gear.<br />

Remove the cables from the battery terminals (first remove<br />

the cable from the negative terminal).<br />

Make sure the handbrake is not engaged.<br />

Clean and protect the painted parts using protective wax.<br />

Clean and protect the shiny metal parts using commercially<br />

available special compounds.<br />

Sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen wiper and<br />

rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass.<br />

Slightly open the windows.<br />

Cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic sheet. Do<br />

not use sheets of imperforated plastic as they do not allow<br />

moisture on the car body to evaporate.<br />

Inflate the tyres to 0.5 bar above the normal specified<br />

pressure and check it at regular intervals.<br />

Check the battery charge every six weeks.<br />

Do not drain the engine cooling system.<br />

Wiper <strong>Care</strong> :<br />

FOR CHATTERING & NOISY PROBLEMS<br />

VIEW WITHOUT WIPER BLADE<br />

Wiper blade attack angle on windshield glass should be 90 0<br />

i.e. perpendicular.<br />

Remove wiper blade and root wiper arm on windshield glass<br />

in the centre position. Check the gap between arm strip<br />

and glass.<br />

Adjust by twisting wiper arm as shown in the figure.<br />

FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WILL HELP YOU TO BETTER<br />

PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE FROM CORROSION<br />

PROPER CLEANING :<br />

In order to protect your vehicle from corrosion it is recommended<br />

that you wash your vehicle thoroughly and frequently in case :<br />

1. There is an heavy accumulation of dirt and mud especially on<br />

the underbody.<br />

2. It is driven in areas having high atmosphere pollution due to<br />

smoke, soot, dust, iron dust & other chemical pollutants.<br />

3. It is driven in coastal areas.<br />

4. The underbody must be thoroughly pressure washed after<br />

every three months.<br />

In addition to regularly washing your vehicle, the following<br />

precautions need to be taken.<br />

PERIODIC INSPECTION :<br />

1 . Regularly inspect your vehicle for any damage in the paint<br />

film such as deep scratches and immediately get them<br />

repaired from an authorised service center, as these defects<br />

tend to accelerate corrosion.<br />

2 . Inspect mud liners for damages.<br />

3 . Keep all drain holes clear from clogging.<br />

PROPER PARKING :<br />

Always park your vehicle in shade to protect it from harsh sunlight<br />

or in a well-ventilated garage so that there is no dampness on<br />

any part of the vehicle.<br />

WASHING YOUR VEHICLE :<br />

Follow these tips while washing your vehicle.<br />

HAND WASH :<br />

1 . Always wash your vehicle in shade and when the surface<br />

is at room temperature.<br />

2. Wash with mild car wash soap like "Car Shampoo" and use<br />

a soft 100% cotton cloth to avoid scratches. Please take help<br />

of your dealer to buy the right products.<br />

3. Please be sure that you remove your wristwatch and wear<br />

soft gloves to avoid scratches due to finger rings or nails.<br />

4. To remove stubborn stains and contaminants like tar, use<br />

turpentine or cleaners like "Stain Remover" which is safe<br />

for painted surfaces. Again your dealer can help you in<br />

selecting the right product.<br />

5. Avoid substances like petrol, diesel, kerosene, benzene or<br />

other solvents that cause damage to paint.<br />

6. Dry your vehicle thoroughly to prevent any damp spots.<br />

7. Rinse all surfaces thoroughly to prevent any traces of soap<br />

and other cleaners as this may lead to the formation of<br />

stains on the painted surface later.<br />

WAXING :<br />

Waxing and polishing is recommended to maintain the gloss<br />

and wet-look appearance of your paint finish.<br />

1. Use a good quality polish and wax for your vehicle.<br />

2. Re-wax your vehicle when the water does not slip off the<br />

surface and collects over the surface in patches.<br />

Further tips for the care of your new vehicle finish :<br />

If your vehicle is washed in an automatic car wash, please<br />

remember that the paint can be scratched by type of brushes,<br />

unfiltered washing water or the washing process itself.<br />

Scratching reduces paint durability and gloss, especially on<br />

darker colours. It is suggested to wash the vehicle by hand with<br />

cool and clean water using a soft cloth or sponge. Please do not<br />

use soap but a car shampoo recommended by your dealer.<br />

Please take the following precautions :<br />

1. Always wash your vehicle in shade, avoiding direct exposure<br />

to sunlight during washing.<br />

2. Dry wiping your vehicle may lead to the formation of<br />

scratches and hence always use a soft cloth and clean water<br />

while wiping your vehicle.<br />

3. Always keep your vehicle parked in a well ventilated shade.<br />

Exposure to heat with entrapped moisture promotes corrosion.<br />

128<br />

4. Avoid driving on gravel roads, as the possibility of paint<br />

chip off due to the impact of stones is high. If you are<br />

driving on freshly tarred road, check immediately<br />

afterwards for any stains & clean them.<br />

5. External contamination in the form of sap or industrial<br />

fall-out may mar or develop spots on a new finish. Hence<br />

avoid parking your vehicle near trees, which are known<br />

to drop sap, or near factories, which give out heavy smoke.<br />

6. The acid content in bird droppings may damage the newly<br />

painted finish and hence any bird dropping must be<br />

immediately washed off.<br />

7. The paint finish is susceptible to damage in case petrol,<br />

brake fluid, liquid from car battery, oil, antifreeze,<br />

transmission fluid or windshield solvent spills onto the<br />

painted surface. In case of such a spillage immediately<br />

rinse the affected area with water. Avoid wiping the area<br />

far as possible, however if wiping is required, ensure that<br />

you wipe the area gently with soft cotton cloth.<br />

8. Avoid using sharp objects to scrap off tar or mud from a<br />

painted surface as it may develop scratches or may peel<br />

off the paint.

FUSES<br />

Fuses<br />

All the electrical circuits in your vehicle have fuses to protect them<br />

from a short circuit or overload. These fuses are located in 2 fuse boxes.<br />

The interior fuse box is below the dash board on driver’s side. Remove<br />

the fuse box lid by grabbing and pulling down the slot.<br />

The under bonnet fuse box is located in engine compartment on LHS.<br />

Checking and Replacing Fuses<br />

If any electrical unit in your vehicle has stopped functioning, the fuses<br />

should be checked first.<br />

1. Turn the ignition key to lock position.<br />

2. Remove the cover of the fuse box.<br />

3. Check each fuse and look for burnt wire inside the fuse. If it is burnt,<br />

replace it with one of the spare fuses of same rating or lower.<br />

4. If the replacement fuse of same rating burns out in short time, there<br />

is probably a serious electrical problem. Get the vehicle attended at<br />

nearest Authorised Workshop.<br />

Fuse Box - Cabin<br />

Ensure that the replaced fuses have the same rating as indicated on<br />

the sticker.<br />

Fuse Box - Engine Compartment<br />

FUSES & RELAYS<br />

Relays and Transfer Case ECU<br />

Relays are fitted to protect the voltage drawing units from low voltage.<br />

Relays are fitted in 4 locations :<br />

1. In the fuse box situated inside bonnet.<br />

2. Under driver’s seat.<br />

3. Under co-drivers seat.<br />

4. Behind glove box.<br />

ECU for transfer case is fitted under RH seat.<br />

Diagnostic Connector & Relays<br />

Under Co-driver’s Seat<br />

AIR CONDITIONING<br />

Air Conditioning<br />

The Air Conditioning is a sealed system. Any major maintenance<br />

should be done by Authorised Workshop.<br />

There are couple of things which can be done by you to ensure proper<br />

working of Air conditioning / Heating.<br />

Periodically check the engine’s radiator and air conditioning<br />

condensers for leaves, insects and dirt stuck in front surface.<br />

These block the air flow and reduce the cooling efficiency. Use a light<br />

water spray from a hose or a soft brush to remove them.<br />

Use only low pressure spray or soft bristle brush to clean condenser<br />

and radiator fins.<br />

Run the air conditioning at least once a week during winter season.<br />

Run it at least for ten minutes with vehicle at steady speed and engine<br />

at normal operating condition. This circulates lubrication oil in the<br />

compressor.<br />

For any complaint on A.C. and Heating get it attended at Authorised<br />

The system is charged with R 134 (a) - ‘Non C.F.C.’ refrigerant. Do<br />

not top up with any other refrigerant.<br />

FUEL FILTER AND SPARK PLUG<br />

Fuel Filter Replacement<br />

Fuel filter should be replaced every 20,000 kms or at 12 months whichever<br />

is earlier or any time you suspect contaminated petrol may have<br />

clogged it. Fuel filter is located on Rear LH side of vehicle near Petrol<br />

Tank.<br />

The Fuel Filter should be replaced at Authorised Workshop as fuel system<br />

is under pressure and petrol can spray out from fuel line connections and<br />

cause hazard.<br />

Spark Plug<br />

Spark plug should be inspected at regular intervals for carbon deposits<br />

and electrode gap. If carbon accumulates on the spark plug it may lead to<br />

malfunctioning of the spark plug, clean the electrodes with a fine brush<br />

and with due care scrape the carbon off the insulator. Then clean the<br />

spark plug with compressed air.<br />

Spark Plug Replacement :<br />

1. Clean up any dirt or oil that is collected around the spark plug caps.<br />

2. Pull out the spark plug cables by holding at the connector and pulling<br />

it out.<br />

3. Remove the spark plug with the help of special deep socket.<br />

4. Check the gap. It should be 0.7 to 1.0 mm. Do not adjust the<br />

spark plug gap.<br />

132<br />

Fuel filter<br />

SPARK PLUG<br />

5. Replace the spark plug if gap is found above 1.00 mm. Use only<br />

GENUINE spark plugs.<br />

6. Fit the spark plug and tighten it to the torque of 30Nm (dry)<br />

7. Fit the spark plug cables.<br />

Repeat the procedure for other spark plugs.<br />

Do not adjust the spark plug gap.<br />

Tighten the spark plugs carefully.<br />

Overtightening can cause damage to the threads in the cylinder<br />

head. Loose spark plug can affect the combustion in engine and<br />

leads to engine damage.<br />

Do not apply grease or oil on spark plug threads.<br />

CATALYTIC CONVERTER<br />

Catalytic Convertor : (If fitted)<br />

<strong>Tata</strong> Safari has a catalytic convertor in the exhaust system. It converts the<br />

hazardous pollutants to less harmful gases.<br />

The three way catalytic convertor has coating of precious metals which<br />

enables conversion of pollutants.<br />

<strong>Care</strong> of the catalytic convertor<br />

The catalytic convertor does not require any special maintenance however,<br />

following precautions should be taken for the effective function of<br />

convertor and to avoid damage to the convertor.<br />

It is mandatory to use Unleaded Petrol, since even a single use of Leaded<br />

Petrol will permanently damage (poison) the Catalytic Convertor.<br />

It is also imperative that the vehicle should be attended at the earliest<br />

when :<br />

Engine misfires or runs irregularly, following a cold start.<br />

A significant loss of power is noticed.<br />

In the event of above symptoms, vehicle should be driven at slow speed<br />

without rapid acceleration.<br />

Catalytic Converter<br />

The following operations should be AVOIDED.<br />

Push start or tow - starting the vehicle, instead use jump leads.<br />

Long (not more that 10 sec.) repeat (not more than 3 times)<br />

cranking of the engine.<br />

Investigate the cause for difficulty in starting and rectify the same.<br />

Long idling (to warm-up). If the engine is running rough, after a<br />

cold start.<br />

Switching "off" the ignition when driving down the hill.<br />

(This will not save fuel).<br />

Fuel tank getting almost empty.<br />

Idling the engine with any of the spark plug cable<br />

disconnected, manually, during diagnostic test (Use appropriate<br />

test equipment).<br />

Pre-coating / Painting of Catalytic Converter.<br />

Parking Warning :<br />

Avoid parking the vehicle over inflammable materials, such as dry<br />

leaves, grass etc., as the exhaust system is hot enough to initiate<br />

"FIRE".<br />

CARBON CANISTER<br />

Carbon Canister :<br />

As fuel evaporates in fuel tank fuel vapours/hydro carbons are discharged<br />

in the atmosphere. The carbon canister stores such the fuel vapours/hydro<br />

carbons from fuel tank.<br />

Air drawn through carbon canister into the engine is controlled to maintain<br />

exhaust emissions within desired limits as well as to ensure good driveability.<br />

Carbon canister should be replaced at Authorised Workshop only.<br />

Replace canister with new one at specified intervals.<br />

Electronic Controlled Fuel Injection System on 486 PL Engine :<br />

Your <strong>Tata</strong> Safari is fitted with the most modern Multipoint petrol Injection<br />

System. The advantages of this system are -<br />

* Increased engine power and torque.<br />

* Lower specific fuel consumption.<br />

* Better starting, accelaration and driveability.<br />

* Better emission control.<br />

* Less maintenance(system uses distributorless ignition system)<br />

The important components of the system are electronic sensors, actuators<br />

and ECU (Electronic Control Unit). The Sensors send the Signals of important<br />

engine parameters (engine speed, air quantity, temperature, camshaft<br />

position etc.) to ECU. The ECU decides optimum air fuel ratio and appropriate<br />

injection timing by analysing the signals. The various operating conditions<br />

CARBON CANISTER & ELECTRONIC CONTROLLED FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM<br />

such as starting, idling, A.C. control, warm up, load changes etc. are<br />

incorporated in a 16 bit high speed microprocessor inside the ECU.<br />

The other most important functions of ECU is Emission control for lambda<br />

sensor, canister purge valve, and catalytic convertor are incorporated in<br />

the system.<br />

A knock sensors is provided in order to retard ignition timing during<br />

knocking, which improves the life of the engine.<br />

Fault Diagnosis<br />

EMS has built in diagnostic system. In case of malfunctioning of any<br />

component in the electronic fuel injection system, it alerts the driver by<br />

means of a Malfunction Indication Lamp (MIL)on the dash board. In spite<br />

of problem in the system, the ECU allows you to operate the vehicle<br />

almost in normal manner, so that it can be taken to the Authorised<br />

Workshop for attending the problem.<br />

Do not allow untrained person to check or rectify the fault in the<br />

injection system by using conventional methods. A special diagnostic<br />

equipment is required to be coupled to the fault dignosis socket,<br />

which will display the defect, so that the defect can be rectified by<br />

authorised persons only.<br />

BELT TENSION<br />

Belt Tension<br />

Check the conditions of belts on the engine. Examine the<br />

edge of the belt for cracks or fraying.<br />

Check the tension of the belt by pushing on it with your thumb<br />

for Alternator belt and A.C. compressor belt and Power Steering<br />

belt as shown in schematic diagram.<br />

The belts should have deflection of 8 to 10 mm.<br />

If the belt tension is not proper, get it attended at the nearest<br />

Authorised Workshop.<br />

Hyundai Alcazar Vs Tata Safari comparison

With three rows of seating and similar price tags, the Hyundai Alcazar and Tata Safari can be deemed natural rivals. But as we find out, each appeals for very different reasons.

Published on Aug 21, 2021 08:00:00 AM

Alcazar can hold small suitcases.

Safari offers minimal luggage room.

If you’ve had your heart set on the Tata Safari but are having second thoughts on seeing the Hyundai Alcazar, this one’s for you. Yes, we will bring the entire three-row SUV gang together, including the MG Hector Plus, once the Mahindra XUV700 goes on sale, but the focus here is on the star performers of the year so far. At last count, Tata had produced its 10,000th Safari while Hyundai had received over 11,000 bookings for its new Alcazar.

The Safari and Alcazar promise to offer the same virtues as the Tata Harrier and Hyundai Creta that they’re respectively derived from, with the added practicality of a third row of seats. By extension, that means these are two very different takes on the three-row SUV formula.

You’ve seen the Tata Safari and Hyundai Alcazar in detail already, so we’ll focus on the key points of difference. And the one that’s most obvious is the difference in size. The Tata Safari, which is a full 161mm longer, 104mm wider and 111mm taller than the Alcazar, will immediately appeal to buyers who like their SUVs big and bold. The higher bonnet line, chunkier tyres and upright tail only add to the Tata’s road presence. The Alcazar might not have the visual mass of a Safari but it is quite sizeable in its own right and even boasts of the marginally longer wheelbase.

The Alcazar also has some show value, thanks to the Hyundai Palisade-like large, studded grille, but the tail-end styling is best described as anonymous.

The Cockpits

Shifting focus inside, there’s lots and lots to talk off so we’ll go row by row, starting with the Safari. The Tata’s cabin is really well turned out and has its stylish details. The dash is neat and you’ll like how the metal look works with the wood and the gloss plastics on the centre console. The defining factor in a Safari, however, is how large it is. You feel like you’re sitting in a big SUV and there’s a greater distance to your co-driver, which is a boon in our socially distanced times. But for all its space, the Safari has its share of lesser points. The 8.8-inch touchscreen looks small and isn’t the most responsive, and the interior colour scheme is a point of contention too – the light upholstery is a pain to keep clean.

You don’t get the same sense of space in an Alcazar, but its cabin immediately puts you at ease. The dash is very user-friendly, with everything in clear sight and easy to reach. The brown on black cabin theme looks premium too, though there aren’t any soft-touch materials. But what really makes the difference in the Alcazar’s cabin are the feel-good features. The Alcazar gets premium digital dials with three customisable displays, and the screen also relays feed from the very handy blind-view monitors positioned at the wing mirrors. Also slick is the 10.25-inch touchscreen and there’s also a 360-degree camera that comes really handy.

Front seat ventilation, an on-board air purifier, wireless charger, and paddleshifters are some of the other goodies exclusive to the Alcazar. The gadgets and gizmos add up to a lot and make the Hyundai’s interior look and feel a lot more advanced, which is telling given the Safari has only been around for a few months.

The Safari does pack in plenty too, like a panoramic sunroof and powered driver’s seat. It’s just that the Alcazar offers all that you get on the Tata and then a whole lot more. In terms of safety equipment, rear disc brakes are standard on both, while top-spec versions of both models get six airbags, electronic stability control and ISOFIX child-seat mounts.

People Movers

Before we talk middle-row comfort, it’s important to highlight that both SUVs can be had in 7-seat configurations that will appeal to large families. Notably, the Safari, with its wider cabin, is comfier when you have to sit three abreast. In focus here, however, are the 6-seat versions whose individual middle-row chairs will appeal to chauffeur-driven buyers.

There are some clear differences from the moment you open the rear doors. The Hyundai Alcazar doesn’t sit all that high off the ground, to begin with, and there’s a footboard, too, to ease the journey inside. Large windows, generous legroom (with the middle-row seats slid all the way back) and well padded seats with recline make this a comfortable place to be in. Unique to the Alcazar is a fixed centre console between the middle-row seats. While not an ideal armrest (your elbow will be unsupported at the seat’s rearmost position), the console features a useful wireless phone charging bay and offers some storage too. Other amenities to make life comfy at the back and unique to the Alcazar are retractable sunshades and fold-out trays with a recess for your iPad.

Shift from an Alcazar into a Safari and you’ll note how much higher the Tata sits. There’s no footboard, making it quite a bit of a step up into the Safari’s cabin. Once settled in, though, there’s lots to like.

For starters, the stadium seating, with the middle-row positioned slightly higher than the one up front, equals great side and frontal visibility. The Tata also offers that little bit more legroom as standard, and then there’s the option to free up even more space. Boss Mode allows you to slide forward a vacant co-driver’s seat from the back so you can really sprawl out in the Safari. It’s a pity that the Safari’s seats are not the widest in the business, which is something larger framed individuals will note. Also, the flip-up armrest isn’t all that well-positioned, so you can’t find that perfect seating position in the Safari. There’s no wireless charging at the back but what’s irritating is that the USB charging slots are positioned low down and out of sight.

Where the Safari has the clear advantage is when talking of third-row space. In a 6-seat Safari, last-row occupants will need to work their way through the narrow passage between the middle-row chairs, but that cumbersome journey in is worth it. It’s not hard to find a happy legroom compromise with the middle-row passenger and what’s really impressive is that, with a bit of slouching, even six-footers can sit here in reasonable comfort. The high-set vents do obstruct visibility a bit at the very back, but the rearmost windows are still larger than those in the Alcazar. Also, because the vents sit high up, air-con effectiveness is impressive.

The 6-seat Alcazar, with its tumble-fold middle-row seats, offers far better access to the back, but you’ll need to carefully plan who gets to sit there. Space is adequate for shorter occupants but large adults will be tight on space, even with the middle-row seats at a centre position. The knees-up seating isn’t great either, relegating the Alcazar’s third row for occasional use only.

Both SUVs miss out on a powered tailgate, but to the Alcazar’s credit, its tailgate is easy to open and also reveals a larger 180-litre luggage area with all seats up. The third-row backrest can also be folded absolutely flat to create more luggage room. Opening the Safari’s heavy tailgate requires effort and, disappointingly, the 73 litres of luggage room with all seats up is only sufficient for a few handbags. Also, the third-row backrests do fold but don’t sit absolutely flush with the floor.

Drive The Tribe

Before we get moving, it’s important to talk engines and gearboxes. The Tata Safari is available solely with a 2.0-litre diesel engine that makes 170hp and 350Nm. You can have the engine with a 6-speed manual, though it’s the far superior and, ironically, Hyundai-sourced, 6-speed automatic that’s worth spending extra for. You get more choice in the Alcazar range, including the option of a 2.0-litre petrol engine with manual and auto gearbox options. The petrol engine’s 159hp is impressive but the relatively low 14.2kpl official fuel-economy figure for the automatic could be a deterrent for buyers with lots of running. This set of buyers will find more appeal in the Alcazar diesel-auto and its 18.1kpl efficiency figure. For this comparison, we are considering the diesel-automatic versions of both models. The Alcazar’s 115hp and 250Nm, 1.5-litre diesel engine is no match for the Safari’s on power and torque, but then the Hyundai is also around 400kg lighter than the Tata.

Let’s move away from facts and figures to on-road feel. Scenario one is driving in town, where the Alcazar quickly establishes itself as the city slicker. You really won’t have an issue with power, and there’s sufficient performance for average city duties. The light steering, good manoeuvrability and great all-round visibility means you always feel very comfortable in your surroundings. The blind-view monitor helps further, and the 360-degree camera and front proximity sensors make tight parkings a whole lot easier. In the same city setting, the Safari will offer a very different experience at the wheel. If you like to tower over other road users, you’ll immediately take to the Safari that has this authoritative “don’t mess with me” vibe about it. On the flip side, the Safari also feels like the large vehicle that it is. You always have to be mindful of its size, particularly at narrow toll booths, the steering is heavier and U-turns require that much more effort. Parking a Safari isn’t as easy either, and when you do have to reverse in, you’ll wish the camera was of higher resolution. The Safari also has the busier low-speed ride, and there’s some side to side movement on speed breakers too. On the move, though, the Safari does feel nice and light on its feet.

Highway Star

Exiting city limits brings us to scenario two – outstation journeys. And it’s here that the Safari comes into its own. Our performance tests conducted with two passengers onboard reveal the Safari to be the marginally quicker SUV. What the numbers don’t tell you is just how effortless the Tata feels while at it. It feels like the larger-hearted SUV with more pulling power and the difference is most apparent when driving with a full house of passengers. You don’t have to press down any harder on the accelerator and there’s ready power when you need it. Sport driving mode only adds a spring in the Safari’s step.

If easy cruising ability is all that you want from your SUV, the Alcazar diesel does its job well enough. But ask any more of the engine and you’ll know that the Alcazar’s is slightly out of its depth. Quick overtakings, for one, are not its forte. Load the Alcazar up with passengers and you can also tell that the powertrain has suddenly got a lot more work to do. The engine sounds busier and the gearbox will keep going up and down the gears to keep it in the meat of the powerband. And given the nature of this engine, you won’t be reaching out to the paddleshifters all that often either.

Both SUVs have their highlights in the areas of ride and handling. You’ll like how obediently the Alcazar responds to steering inputs, and its predictable handling is likeable. There’s also less up and down movement in the lower Alcazar and this is something your second- and third-row passengers will particularly appreciate. But go over a bad patch of road in the Alcazar and you will feel a judder in the cabin. The shorter sidewalls on the Hyundai’s tyres are to blame here.

In the Safari, it’s the steering that takes getting used to. There is some road shock that filters through to the steering wheel, and at high speeds there’s also an inconsistency at the steering. It’s not the most responsive at the straight-ahead position but turn a bit more and it suddenly darts in; this can catch you off guard. On the plus side, you won’t need to make an evasive manoeuvre to avoid a bad patch of road. The Tata Safari feels absolutely unfazed by broken patches of road taken at high speeds. It drives with an authority and where you’d have to brace for impact in an Alcazar, you can just power through in a Safari.

And after a long journey when you find that the road leading to your farmhouse has disappeared, it’s the Safari you’d want to be in. It feels tough and built to take a lot of abuse. Those Land Rover genes come shining through in the rough. The Alcazar feels like an outsider in these settings and doesn’t give you the same confidence as the Safari. Interestingly, there’s not much difference in terms of ground clearance, with the Alcazar’s 200mm just a shade less than the Safari’s 205mm figure. Both SUVs get traction modes and hill start assist, and the Tata even features hill descent control; but don’t expect to or try to go too far off-road in either of these front-wheel-drive models.

Winner Takes All?

Which of these three row SUVs suits you better ultimately depends on your usage. If the bulk of your driving is in town and the third row will only be put to use on occasion and for short stints, the Hyundai Alcazar will fit your requirements better. Sure, the diesel engine isn’t punchy but the Alcazar’s light controls and smaller dimensions make it friendlier to drive on congested roads, the easier ingress and egress counts for a lot, and the goodies also make you feel your Rs 19.99 lakh (ex-showroom) have been well spent.

On the other hand, if your calendar is full of road trips with the entire family or a lot of your running will be out on the highway, the Safari that, in range-topping XZA+ form, costs Rs 21.81 lakh is the one for you. You’ll have to settle for fewer features but the Tata’s got the far better third row and the 2.0-litre diesel engine is up to the job of hauling six or seven passengers with ease. The general, tough demeanour also gives the Tata a very distinct personality.

Poll of the month

At Rs 1.85 lakh, the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is the most affordable 40hp bike in India. Would you pick it over similarly priced bikes with less power and features?

Yes, 40hp at this price is unheard of!

No, it's a decade-old bike in a revamped suit.

Great value but doesn't look unique enough.

Nine Die In Care Home Fire Outside Moscow

The fire is the second such incident around Moscow in just over a month

A fire broke out in a retirement home in the Moscow region, killing at least nine people, local authorities said Monday.

The blaze in the privately-owned care home in the town of Krasnogorsk started at around midnight Sunday and was extinguished within an hour, emergencies services said.

"Nine people died on site and nine more were rushed to hospital in serious condition and are being treated in intensive care," the Krasnogorsk municipal government said in a statement.

Russian news agencies said 37 people were in the building at the time of the fire.

Investigators said the victims whose burnt bodies were recovered were aged between 66 and 90.

They said a faulty electrical wire was a possible cause of the incident and launched a probe into fire safety violations.

They later detained the care home's manager, treating him as a suspect, news agencies reported.

Kommersant newspaper said many of the care home residents were not mobile and the employees were unable to carry them out despite the fire being small.

The blaze is the second such incident around Moscow in just over a month: investigators are probing another fire in an upscale retirement home in Moscow in April, which caused the deaths of six people.
