Then that's a cause for worry. But wonder why no alert whatsoever came up till now.

Nope it's the third and last free service, so no labour charges and wheel balancing, alignment was charged although.

Yes, I do use cruise control for more than 90% of the time and I set it at 90. I just love to cruise and drive with a light foot. Generally my figures have been good no matter the car. I don't know about the YouTube videos but my experience in real life is that, you can easily extract mileage of 14 and above easily from a 2 ton weighted Tata Safari.

I didn't notice it until you said it and yes it isn't a word.

Yes, I do also feel it after seeing the reviews of the new version.

I noticed, during normal driving the temperature gauge is on the "Hot" side

My mistake in observing... Since the fuel gauge has 3 stripes, I seemed to have got an impression that when 3rd stripe is highlighted it covers the full range. Later I noticed during engine start that there are many more levels, hence 3 stripes is mid-way and hence ok.

However, I did notice one thing. When after a long and normal run 3 stripes are highlighted, when I start reversing the car for parking the 4th stripe gets highlighted.

Is this normal and is there any technical reason for a car to heat up more in reverse gear?

Just realised that a low battery on a Safari can generate so many warning and spoil your peace of mind.

On 01 Jan 24, I drove from Delhi to Kanpur and then due to official commitments car was lying idle till yesterday. Got some time in the morning and decided to clean the car interiors and some dashboard and interior detailing.

Stupid me worked for almost two hours with the car audio on and the IGN on. The results on the interiors were worth the effort. However, when the time came to park it back, I realised that the battery was low. Thought the lights, horn and infotainment worked, the car just wont crank. Displayed AVH system error, drivetrain fault and few other random warnings. Subsequently the infotainment refused to boot up. Tata Motors RSA was called without much hope of a quick resolution as I did not manage to get any jumper cables etc.

To my pleasant surprise, in less than 40 mins from my first call, the RSA guys were there and the car was jump started. Took the car for a spin, however, the warning for drive train status persisted thought the car was driving and feeling ok.

Was planning to get the car to the ASC but today morning all was well. Car is driving just fine with no warnings. This I was hoping for after having read a few hours on this august forum.

A few lessons learnt and peace of mind. Feeling happy that my stupidity didn’t turn out to be a major issue. Kudos to prompt RSA by Tata Motors.

Quick question folks.

I recently noticed that on my way to office (I recently started going) the wireless android drops only at a certain location. This has happened many times so I decided to consciously observe if this happens in same place today also - it did. Otherwise no disconnections elsewhere.

Have you observed anything like this in case you have wireless android in your Safari?

It'd be good to hear if someone can explain the mechanism it works on and what's getting disrupted?

Edit- Let me add for Pune folks, I am talking of Megapolis Circle in Hinjewadi Phase 3. Perhaps non safari owners may have observed same too.

Hi, a similar problem occurring in Bangalore was discussed earlier in this thread.

Thanks mate, that helps really!! Possible interference is the likely reason as I gathered on that thread. One post in that thread made a mention of metro construction in that area and that is the case my side too. Now I realize, the problem is frequent around metro construction. Very interesting indeed!

2 days back in my Safari, I saw this notification that says “DEF SYSTEM FAULT” engine stops in 4094 Km. I’m just about 50 KM I see it changed to 400 KM. I am just wondering if anyone has any idea of this issue and what is is cause ?

Check your DEF level. If the DEF level is normal, visit the service centre. Though I do not think DEF level is the issue here. May be a new alert msg by Tata which actually means nothing.

[celestine]

DEF level is over 70%. I will be taking it to the service center this week. I hope the service center will share some insights.

I faced similar issue, and found stray dogs had bit the fuel and DEF line. Approx damage of 5K + fuel.

The wires and DEF tank pipe are easily accessible from back, and thus prone to such issues. Service engineer told me that another Safari came with same issue for the 3rd time.

Is there any way we can protect the under wire and pipes ?(especially fuel and DEF in Safari since these are 1st to be attacked by dog/cat bites)

This is very concerning if true. So, is this significantly different in Safari than other cars? Never heard of the fuel lines damaged by strays just like that. Were these damages towards the rear or inside the engine bay?

To be precise, at 2 places. One on right hand side of 5th wheel (when looking at the car from behind), that's where is the DEF tank and 1st attack was on the DEF cables and pipe here. You can easily see the setup by just bending a little.

Second one was on the fuel pipe, right below the driver armrest area. The fuel line coming from below the 2nd row towards engine, and returns from gear area to 2nd row, in the centre and comes back towards the engine. Fuel line is a combination of aluminum pipe followed by rubber pipe. I don’t know why Tata has kept a combination of material and running up n down the vehicle length.

I wish I had taken pics to make it easy to understand.

I'm facing a peculiar issue with my Safari.

When the air blower control on the 3rd row is switched off, the A/C unit stops cooling. It seems the A/C cooling is somehow connected to the 3rd row blower controller!

I don't mind keeping it on, but when I keep it on, there is continuous buzz sound that comes from the speakers!

In my last service I had complained about this sound and the car came sound free. I didn't realise that the fix the ASC did was to rotate the knob off which just stops the cooling!

[celestine]

The warning “DEF system fault “ engine stops at “4094”” was checked by the service center and I was told by the technician that they did some reprogramming and the fault message is off. They flushed the DEF tank and checked the system. They didn’t identify and any issue it seems. I am surprised about their response. However they said the warning will go away in 450 KM. I should check on it.

Does anyone else had this kind of issue properly diagnosed and sorted ?
