Tips to maintain your Tata Safari
Here are a few tips that can help you maintain your Tata Safari in top-notch condition for a longer period of time.
Driving habits
A gently driven car can be a lifelong companion. This is because rash driving can lead to increased wear and tear, ultimately taking a toll on your car’s performance and longevity.
- You will have to control your need for speed. Overspeeding can not only put your and others' safety at risk, but it can also put your car at risk of excessive wear and tear. Maintaining a steady speed is the best approach.
- Don’t brake or accelerate suddenly. This can cause significant damage to the brakes, accelerator, and tyres. Gentle braking and acceleration can save you money in the long run.
- Let your car’s engine warm up and reach an optimal temperature before you begin your drive, especially during the winter months. And never rev hard immediately after starting the engine.
- Use high-quality fuel and adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations.
- If you are at a long stop, instead of letting the engine idle, switch it off to save fuel and reduce wear and tear.
- Avoid hitting potholes as much as possible, as repeated impacts can damage the suspension.
Service Schedule
There is no better and easier way to maintain the health of your Tata Safari than by following the service schedule. Missing or being dismissive about it can prove to be a costly mistake in more ways than one. On the contrary, following the schedule regularly can ensure that your car performs like it's meant to and enhances its longevity.
- Carry out a fluid check regularly. The engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and wiper fluid must be at optimal levels. Have them changed and refilled according to the service schedule or when you notice that the levels have dropped.
- Wheel alignment and tyre rotation must be done according to the schedule. Watch out for wear and tear, and address any uneven wear immediately to ensure your comfort and optimal fuel efficiency.
- Keep an eye on the suspension and underbody, especially if you frequently encounter potholes and wet weather.
- Read your car’s user manual to better understand your vehicle and stay up-to-date with the service schedule.
- Use genuine parts instead of aftermarket parts to get the best performance and fit for your Tata Safari.
Exterior care
Your car’s chassis protects the car’s interior, where all important working parts are housed. Therefore, keeping the exterior clean and damage-free must be a top priority for every Tata Safari owner.
- When you drive around in the city or go on a long drive, you will invariably pick up dust and other pollutants on the exterior. If left unchecked, these pollutants can lead to corrosion/rusting. So wash your car regularly to prevent this issue.
- The same issue can arise with scratches and dents that go unfixed. They must be addressed promptly to prevent corrosion from causing damage.
- Regularly getting the car waxed and polished is recommended to protect and prolong the life of the car’s paint job.
- Park the car in a well-ventilated, covered parking space that is dry and protected from the elements. This will protect the paint job from the damaging effects of the weather.
- If a fully covered parking area is not available, consider getting a car cover that can protect your car from the elements.
- Keep the wheels and tyres clean. Check tyre pressure regularly and fill it up immediately if the pressure is low.
Interior care
Maintaining the interior of your car can enhance your comfort and prolong your car’s longevity and performance. Additionally, repairing the interior when it's damaged can be quite expensive, so regular upkeep is a more cost-effective approach.
- Clean your car’s interior and vacuum the upholstery periodically. Use a microfiber cloth and car-friendly detergent to wipe down the surfaces and windows often.
- Your car’s interior can get dirty easily. Use floor mats and seat covers to keep it neat. Wash these accessories regularly and replace them as needed.
- Keep the electronic components clean. Get them checked and repaired at the service centre promptly if they malfunction.
- Eating inside the car can seem tempting and a simple fix when you are in a hurry, but don’t do it. If any spillage occurs, clean it up immediately and open the windows to eliminate the smell.
- Smoking is another factor that can stink up the car’s interior. And it can be quite difficult to remove, so it's best not to do it inside the car.
- Pets can get spooked when being transported. Keep them leashed or in a crate to avoid damaging the interior.
