The jack along with the wheel spanner and other tools are located on the floor between the third row seats near to the back door as shown in figure. Rotate the two securing knobs and lift the lid to access the jack. The jack extension and warning triangle are placed beneath the front passenger seat. Slide the seat backwards, pull open the velcro and access the warning triangle or jack handle.

Spare wheel is mounted on the tail gate at the rear end of the vehicle. It is held in place by mountings nuts covered by a spare wheel cover (if equipped).

Pry off the wheel cover, using a screw driver and then pull it out. Wrap the tip of the screw driver with cloth, then insert it near the lugs of the wheel cover and pry the cover away from the wheel.

Always loosen the wheel nuts before raising the vehicle. Turn the wheel nuts counter clockwise to loosen. To get maximum leverage, fit the spanner to the nut so that the handle is on the left side. Grab the spanner near the end of the handle and push down on the handle. Be careful that the spanner does not slip off the nut. Do not remove the nuts, but loosen them by one or two turns.

Block the wheel diagonally opposite the flat tire to keep the vehicle from rolling when it is jacked up. When blocking the wheel, place a wheel block in front of one of the front wheels or behind one of the rear wheels.

Position the jack at the correct jacking point. Make sure the jack is positioned on a level and solid place. Ensure no one is in the vehicle.

To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle end along with the extension into the jack and turn it clockwise with the jack handle. As the jack touches the vehicle and begins to lift, check that it is properly positioned. Raise it high enough so that the spare tire can be installed. Remember you will need more ground clearance when putting on the spare tire than when removing the flat tire.

Block the wheel diagonally opposite the flat tire to keep the vehicle from rolling when it is jacked up. When blocking the wheel, place a wheel block in front of one of the front wheels or behind one of the rear wheels.

Remove the wheel nuts. Lift the flat tire straight off and place it aside. Roll the spare wheel into position and align the holes in the wheel with the bolts. Lift up the wheel and get at least the top bolt started through its hole. Wiggle the wheel and press it back over the other bolts.

Re-install the wheel nuts with the tapered end inward and tighten by hand. Press the wheel inward and tighten the wheel nuts further.

Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the diagonally opposite wheel nuts using the wheel nut spanner. Turn the jack handle extension counter clockwise using the jack handle to lower the vehicle, making sure the handle remains firmly fitted onto the jack handle extension. Make sure the wheel spanner is securely engaged over the nut. Tighten each nut a little at a time in the diagonally opposite order. Repeat the process until all the nuts are tight. Do not use other tools or any additional leverage other than your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot.

Put the wheel cover into position aligning the nozzle on the wheel to the nozzle clearance on the wheel cover. Tap it firmly on the sides with your hand to snap it into place.

Check the air pressure of the replaced tire. If the pressure is lower than recommended, drive slowly to the nearest service station and inflate to the correct pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is correct. Always reinstall the valve cap after checking or adjusting tire pressure. If the cap is not replaced, dirt and moisture could get into the valve core and cause air leakage. If you lose a valve cap, buy another and install it as soon as possible.

Mount the flat tire to the rear door of the vehicle. Firmly tighten the securing nut and put the spare wheel cover back. Replace the tools (jack, wheel spanner, etc.,) in their storage location.

Double check to ensure the flat tire along with the wheel cover is securely mounted on the tail gate.

The digital tachometer indicates the engine speed in thousands of RPM (revolutions per minute). Each division is 250 RPM. When the LED indicator is above 3000 RPM (closely spaced divisions) of the gauge, it indicates that the engine RPM is very high and is in the danger zone. This leads to excessive engine wear and poor fuel economy. Maintain steady engine speed below 3000 RPM and do not accelerate or decelerate abruptly.

The digital speedometer indicates the current vehicle speed in kilometers per hour.

The odometer reading is displayed only when the ignition is ON. It records and displays the total distance traveled in kms.

The tripmeter reading is displayed only when ignition is ON. It displays the elapsed distance travelled since the last trip reset. There are two tripmeter’s (A/B) which can be reset as necessary.

The digital engine coolant temperature display (A) illuminates when the ignition is switched on. The temperature bar/gauge indicates the instantaneous engine coolant temperature. The coolant temperature varies with changes in weather, load on engine and driving pattern. Temperature bar rising from 'C' towards 'H' indicates that the engine coolant is heating up.

Under normal operating conditions, the LED illumination in the gauge may be anywhere across the band below 3000 RPM.

When coolant temperature reaches 108ºC, LED No. 7 from C starts flashing along with the high engine coolant temperature warning lamp (B)

When coolant temperature reaches 120ºC, LED No. 7 & 8 from C starts flashing along with the high engine coolant temperature warning lamp (B)

The fuel level display (A) illuminates when the ignition is switched ON. The fuel display bar gives the status of the fuel level in the fuel tank. F indicates the tank is full (8 bars/LED’s), E indicates the tank in empty. When the fuel level reaches the reserve/low fuel, the ‘E’ along with the low fuel warning lamp (B) starts flashing. The amount of fuel required to fill the tank up may be less than the specified tank capacity, as a small amount of reserve fuel always remains in the tank.

On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel in the tank, the fuel level may fluctuate or the low fuel level warning lamp may illuminate earlier than usual. Always check the fuel level when the vehicle is on level road.

If the low fuel warning lamp continues to flash even after filling sufficient fuel, contact your Authorized Mahindra Dealer as soon as possible.

Let’s take a simple example of driving in traffic conditions within your city. Assume that your Bolero has stopped at a traffic junction due to a red signal. The following stpng illustrate how the system functions

The reset switch is located behind the driver panel (below the steering column), as shown below in the figure.

The following messages can be temporarily disabled by pressing the reset switch while that particular message is being announced i.e., cancelling in the same driving cycle.

“Attention please. Check the brake fluid level. It’s low.”

“Attention please. The engine temperature is high”

“Careful your hand brake is engaged.”

“Attention please. Check the oil pressure. It’s low.”

“Your Bolero is running on reserve fuel.”

“Attention please; drain out water from the fuel filter”

Pressing the reset switch while the ignition is OFF and holding it till “Welcome To Bolero” is announced enables all the disabled messages.
