2 SEATS AND SAFETY
2.1 Seats
Sitting in Correct Position
Graphic
Follow the tips below for a comfortable and safe journey:
•  Sit in an upright position with the base of your spine pressed against the seat back
•  The driver and front passenger seat head restraint has 5 positions. Adjust it as close as possible to the above specified position, with the top of the head restraint even with the top of your head
•  Maintain sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. Maintain at least a Ten inch (10") distance from the centre of the steering wheel to your chest
•  Fasten your seat belt correctly and adjust both the shoulder and lap strap
•  The top curve of the steering wheel should align with your chin for ideal road visibility
•  Adjust your seat and seat back angle such that your wrists rest on the steering wheel
•  Ensure your legs are in bent position while fully depressing the clutch pedal
The seat should be adjusted while still maintaining control of the foot pedals (able to fully depress the clutch pedal), steering wheel (rest the wrists on the steering wheel) and your view of the instrument panel controls.
Never adjust the driver's seat while the vehicle is in motion. The seat movement may be more than expectation and cause the driver to unintentionally operate the accelerator or brake, or turn the steering wheel, causing loss of control of the vehicle, an accident or serious personal injury. Adjust the driver's seat only when the vehicle is stationary.
Never put objects under the seats. They may interfere with the seat-lock mechanism or unexpectedly activate the seat position adjusting lever, causing the seat to suddenly move, resulting in loss of control of the vehicle, an accident or serious personal injury.
While adjusting the seat, do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts. This may lead to injuries.
2.1.1 Front Seat
Front Seat Slide
Graphic
Move the seat forward or backward by lifting the adjustment lever located under the seat front and release once the desired position is reached.
While adjusting the seat, make sure the latch engages fully and the seat is locked firmly in the desired position. An unlocked seat may move in a sudden stop or collision, causing injury to the person in that seat. Push and pull on the seat to be sure it is locked.
Front Seat Recline
Graphic
To adjust the seat back, lift the lever located on the outboard side of the seat, lean back, and release the lever at the desired position.
To return the seat back, lift the lever, lean forward and release the lever.
The seat belts provide maximum protection in a frontal or rear collision when the occupants are sitting up straight and well back in the seats.
If you are reclined, the lap belt may slide past your hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or the shoulder strap may contact your neck.
The more the seat is reclined, the greater the risk of serious injury.
When returning the rear-reclined seat back to its upright position, make sure you support the seat back while operating the lever.
Front Seat Height Adjustment
Graphic
The driver seat height can be raised or lowered with the help of height adjust handle.

During vehicle running, Seat movement is not allowed for short duration considering user safety.
•  Adjust the driver's seat only when the vehicle is stationary, otherwise there is a risk of accident. The seat should be adjusted so that the brake/ clutch pedal can be pressed fully.
•  Be cautious when adjusting the seat, you may suffer injuries without paying proper attention while adjusting seat.
•  Driver side electric seat can be adjusted in ignition off also, children should never be left unattended in the vehicle, as there is a risk of injury!
•  Power seats will be operated even when the ignition switch is turned to the “OFF” position. However, to prevent battery discharge, we suggest that you adjust your seats when the engine is running
•  Do not forcibly operate any power adjustment switch if the seat comes in contact with any other object and cannot be adjusted anymore.
•  If the power seats are not operational, the seats should be checked and fixed before driving
•  Do not put any luggage/water bottles below driver seat as they can obstruct power seat movement or damage seat mechanism/motor
•  Do not remove vehicle battery while seat is in motion

2.3 Seat Belt
2.3.1 General Warnings and Instructions
At least once each month, inspect the seat belt webbing for any cuts, tears, or other signs of wear (such as fraying along the edges). Also inspect the anchors, retractors, and buckles to be sure they are tight and operational.
•  All occupants, including the driver, should always wear their seat belt no matter how short the trip in order to minimize the risk of severe injury in the event of a crash. In an accident, an un-belted passenger becomes a projectile, and can cause serious injury to himself or another passenger.
•  In a rollover crash, an un-belted person is significantly more likely prone to Injury than a person wearing a seat belt
•  In order to be properly buckled, you must always sit up straight and keep your feet on the floor in front of you. The lap part must be worn low and tight across your hips, just touching the top of your thighs. While fastening the seat belt, the shoulder strap of the seat belt must pass over your chest and top of your shoulder. It must never touch your neck, face, the side of your shoulder, arm, or pass under your arm. The belt must always be flat against your body and not twisted in any way. Nothing, such as an arm rest, a pocketbook, or any external objects should be between you and the seat belt. Improperly worn of a seat belt will reduce the protection in an accident.
•  Seat belts should be adjusted as tightly as possible, consistent with comfort to properly secure the wearer in the seat.
Graphic
Graphic
•  The seat belts provided for your vehicle are designed for adults must be properly used and maintained.
•  For usage of adult seat belt to secure children, refer to section of manual for child seat positions and use a child restraint systems
•  Passengers should not move out of or change seats while the vehicle is in motion. Passenger who does not wear the seat belts will be under a high risk of thrown against the vehicle inside hard parts, against other occupants or out of the vehicle during emergency stop or collision.
•  Do not use any accessories on seat belts or modify in any way the seat belt system. Devices claiming to improve occupant comfort or reposition the seat belt can reduce the protection provided by the seat belt and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash
•  An accident or emergency stop, can damage your seat belt system, even if the accident is “minor”. Please have your Mahindra Authorised Dealer inspect the seat belt system after an accident
•  Please be aware that any unsecured item in your vehicle, such as your pet, unsecured child restraint system, a laptop or mobile phones, can become a projectile in the event of an accident or sudden stop, causing injuries to occupants in the vehicle
Never use a damaged seat belt system. A damaged seat belt will not provide protection in an accident, resulting in serious injury.
•  Seat belt systems are prone to abuse. They are not indestructible. They must be handled with care to avoid damage
•  Keep the belts clean and dry. Belt retraction may become difficult if the belts and webbings are soiled. If they need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water. Never use bleach, dye, or abrasive cleaners. These chemicals will severely weaken the belts
•  Retractors in 3-point type seat belts retract the seat belts when not in use. The inertia lock and coil spring allow the belts to remain comfortable on users during normal driving. During accidents or abrupt stops, inertia locks restrict the sudden forward movement of the wearer
Prevention of seat belt Slow retraction:
1. Check if there any twist on in-board or out-board side of safety belt.
2. Check if dust accumulated on outer parts such as Webbing , D-Loop, Tongue stopper and Tongue.
3. Remove the dust from D-Loop, Webbing, Tongue & Tongue stopper by compressed air or air blower.
4. Use clean and lint free cloth and hand gloves for cleaning safety belt parts D-Loop, Webbing, Tongue & Tongue stopper. Do not use any chemicals and cleaning fluids could damage the seat belt assembly.
5. Inspect the Webbing for retraction performance. Safety belt assembly cleaning required if seat belt retraction becomes very slow due to dust and soil accumulation on safety belt assembly, then below cleaning procedure to be followed:
1. Appropriate Procedure of disassembly of all pyrotechnic devices to be followed for pretensioner seat belt. The Battery terminal to be removed before disassembly of pretensioner, otherwise there will be error codes registered in Airbag ECU and Airbag ECU will show malfunction.
2. Open Pillar trims and take out Seat belt assembly on bench by carefully disassembly of connector and Lap Pretensioner/ Anchor wire assembly (if equipped). Kindly follow correct safety belt pretensioner handling procedure in case of pretensioner safety belts. Use clean and lint free cloth and hand gloves for cleaning safety belt assembly. Do not use any chemicals and cleaning fluids could damage the Seat belt webbing and other parts.
3. If seat belt movement is sticky due to dust accumulation. Then please contact the dealer for help in cleaning.
4. In case of soiling on the belt, use a mild soap solution consisting of 2 tablespoons of natural soap to 1 liter of lukewarm water.
5. Care to be taken to prevent contact of soap water with Pretensioner .
6. Clean dust accumulated on D-Loop, Webbing and overall assembly by close inspection of D-Loop and Webbing using lint free cloth.
7. After cleaning safety belt they should be dried by lint free dry cloth.
8. After cleaning kindly inspect Webbing movement through D-Loop slot for any sticky movement of webbing .
9. Assemble the safety belt using correct torque. Re-assemble all trim parts.
10. Inspect the Webbing for retraction performance.
Seat Belts - Patients: Persons with serious medical conditions should also wear a seat belt. Consult your doctor for specific recommendations before travel.
Seat Belts - Pregnant Women: Pregnant women must also wear seat belts. Consult your doctor for specific recommendations.
Graphic
The lap belt should be worn snugly and as low as possible over the hips. The shoulder belt should be worn across your shoulder, but never across the stomach area.
When worn properly, the seat belt will protect both the mother and the foetus in an accident or emergency stop.
A pregnant woman should never wear the seat belt across the stomach area. This could lead to serious injuries to the foetus and/or the pregnant mother.
Never wear twisted seat belts. Excessive forces will be transferred from the belt to the wearer, in a collision, resulting in serious personal injury.
Each seat belt is meant for use by one person only. Using one seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. The seat belt will not be able to absorb the impact forces properly leading to serious injuries.
Never wear a belt around a child being carried on the occupant's lap. This could lead to serious injuries.
Seat Belt Usage is Necessary to:
•  Reduce the possibility of being out from your vehicle during an accident.
•  Reduce the possibility of injuries to upper body, lower body and legs during an accident
•  Hold the driver in a position which allows better control of the vehicle
Children who are too large for child restraint systems should always occupy the rear seat and use the vehicle seat belts. The lap portion should be snug fastened on the hips and as low as possible and the shoulder belt should be rout across the child's shoulder, not across neck or face. If you are unable to position the belt across the child's shoulder, the child should be seated in a booster seat. Frequently check the seat belt to be sure it remains snug and in position. A squirming child could cause the seat belt to come out of position.
2.3.2 Seat Belt Configuration
Graphic
To protect you and your passengers in the event of an accident, it is highly recommended that the seat belts should be used by all occupants inside of your vehicle.

Seat belt with Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR): The Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) allows the driver seat belt to freely extend and retract with occupant movement, yet locks the belt during a sudden stop or upon impact.
Retractor Pretensioner & load limiter (RPLL): A pretensioner is designed to retract some of the webbing of a seat belt the instant a collision occurs, tightening the seat belt to restrain occupants quickly and reducing the amount they are thrown forward in a moderate or severe frontal crash.
Load limiters help protect occupants from seat belt-inflicted injury. In the event of a crash, the pretensioner restrains the occupant until certain amount of force is applied. At this point the load limiter releases the webbing gradually so as not to exert too much force on the chest of the occupant.
2.3.3 Seat Belt Pretensioner
In the event of a crash being detected, the belt pretensioner locks the seat belt by drawing back the seat belts on the driver’s and passenger’s torso and pelvis to prevent the driver and passenger being thrown forward. The seat belt pretensioner combined with the seat belt and airbag further increases safety.
Graphic
This vehicle is provided with a anchor pretensioner for driver seat (in the sill board area) and is used to help to protect occupant in the sever crash events .
Its activation through Airbag ECU is signalled by pulling down of the metallic cable and removes slack in in seat belt.
To obtain the highest degree of protection from the action of the pretensioning device, wear the seat belt on shoulder keeping it firmly close to the chest and bottom part of the seat belt on pelvis.
In case of side impact collisions, front air bags are not inflated, but seat belt pretensioners located in the same position with impact direction will be deployed together with side air bag
Deployed seat belt pretensioners cannot be deployed again. Have the deployed seat belt pretensioners replaced by an Authorised dealer.
Operation of pretensioner
Graphic
When a severe frontal impact occurs, seat belt pretensioners pull back the seat belts immediately to restrain the occupants to their seats.
Operation of load limiter
Graphic
After frontal collision, the load limiter releases the seat belt to prevent the occupant from being injured due to belt force.
Fastening the seat belt: Even if seat belts are not worn, the air bag will deploy in case of impact, collision triggered. In addition, airbags can protect occupants when the occupants are wearing their seat belts. Airbags may cause injuries to occupants if they do not wear or inappropriately use their seat belts.
•  Before driving, all occupants should fasten their seat belts. If not, the occupants can seriously be injured in a collision or sudden manoeuvring of the vehicle
•  Sometimes you may have to apply strong force to pull the webbing out of the retract
•  Each seat belt should be used by only one occupant at a time
•  Seat belts and airbag’s can significantly minimise possible injury to occupants. But they cannot perfectly protect occupants from fatal collisions or injury
•  Modifications and improper maintenance for the safety systems could cause serious injury. The safety systems including seat belts should be checked and repaired by only a Mahindra Dealer or Mahindra Authorised Service centre
•  An infant or small child should always be restrained in an infant or child restraint
2.3.4 Fastening the Seat Belt (3-Point type)
Graphic
Graphic
Graphic
Adjust the seat as needed, sit up straight and well back in the seat. To fasten your seat belt, pull the webbing out of the retractor and insert the metal tab into the buckle.
An audible “click” would be heard when the tab locks into the buckle. Pull up on the shoulder strap to tighten the lap belt across your hips. The seat belt retractor will pull in any slack in the shoulder strap. A slow and easy motion will allow the belt to extend and let you move your body around freely.
Periodically check the seat belt as you ride to be sure it remains snug and in position. If there is a sudden stop or impact, the belt will lock into position. It will also lock (restrict) if you try to lean forward too quickly.
If the driver or co-driver seat belt is not fastened when the ignition is switched ON, the seat belt warning lamp illuminates and chimes beat will turn till seat belt fastened. Refer “Warning Lamps” in the “Instrument Cluster Features” chapter for further details.
2.3.5 Fastening the Seat Belt (2-Point Lap type)
Graphic
Graphic
This seat belt is applicable to the second row middle passenger seat. Insert the tongue into the buckle until it snaps. Position the lap belt on the hips as low as possible.
The lap belt and shoulder belt are secured across the pelvis and rib cage, which are better able to withstand crash forces than other parts of your body.
Place the shoulder belt across the middle of your chest and away from your neck.
The lap belt rests across your hips, not your stomach.
“NEVER” put the shoulder belt behind your back or under an arm.
2.3.6 Seat Belt Release (both 3-Point & 2 Point)
Graphic
Graphic
To release the belt, press the buckle release button and allow the belt to retract. If the belt does not retract smoothly, pull it out and check for kinks or twists. Then make sure it remains untwisted as it retracts.
Never insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent from properly latching the tongue and may cause damage to the buckle mechanism, thereby making the seat belt ineffective in an accident, resulting in serious personal injury.
2.3.7 Unlatching of Second Row Seat Belt
Graphic
After unlatching the seatbelt, the occupant needs to make sure the tongue is repositioned to it’s designed condition.
It must be ensured that the webbing doesn’t get entrapped between the seat and the trim.
Graphic

Graphic
It must be ensured that the tongue is not diagonally placed.
2.3.8 Driver Seat Belt Reminder Indication
Graphic
The driver seat belt reminder warning symbol lamp will blink in instrument cluster if driver doesn’t wear the seat belt and will be continuous until belt is buckled. Chime will be activated when vehicle travels more than 500 metres or attains 25 Kms/Hrs of speed while vehicle is in motion which will be ON for 95 seconds
2.3.9 Passenger Occupant Detection System (PODS) & Seat Belt Reminder Indication
Graphic
PODS detects the presence of occupant in the passenger seat.
Graphic
If Occupant is present on passenger seat and not wearing the seat belt, Seat belt reminder warning symbol lamp will glow on the center fascia switch provided in vehicle instrument panel and will be continuous until the seat belt is buckled. It should be noted that the PODS require a minimum weight hence children may not be detected by PODS. Along with this warning symbol, a Chime in Cluster will be ON for 95 seconds. Do keep in mind that after market seat covers also may deteriorate the detection senor performance, don’t use the non recommended/non authorized seat covers.
Seat belt reminder warning lamp for passenger seat may glow in case of child is present in passenger seat.
Strong advice not to carry children in front seat without child restraint seat. Also do not use adult seat belt which is designed to harness person taller than 140cm Always ensure Passenger Airbag is turn OFF before you carry child on passenger seat. We strongly urge that children should be in middle row using the child seats with the ISO FIX
2.4 Child Restraint System (CRS)
Anchorage Location
Graphic
Graphic
Child restraint anchor fittings are installed at the points as shown in the figure on the rear seat outer.
Graphic
•  This is a universal i-Size Child Restraint System. It is approved to regulation No. 129, series of amendments for general use in vehicle seat positions, marked with the i-Size logo.
•  The seat is also suitable for fixing into vehicle seat positions, approved as i–Size positions (as detailed in the vehicle handbook), listed in the separate list. 2nd row outboard Seating positions in the vehicle are suitable to accept this child restraint.
•  If in doubt, consult either the child restraint manufacturer or the retailer.
Seat Belts For Older Children, over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts instead of using child restraints
Use this simple 5-step test to decide whether the seat belt properly fits the child or if they should still use a Group 2 or Group 3 child restraint to improve the fit of the seat belt:
1. Can the child sit all the way back against the back of the vehicle seat?
2. Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over the front of the vehicle seat while the child is still sitting all the way back?
3. Does the shoulder belt cross the child’s shoulder between the neck and arm?
4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible, touching the child’s thighs and not the stomach?
5. Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?
If the answer to any of these questions was “no”, then the child still needs to use a Group 2 or 3 child restraint in this vehicle. If the child is using the lap/ shoulder belt, check belt fit periodically and make sure the seat belt buckle is latched. A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle, or use a booster seat to position the seat belt on the child correctly
Graphic
Safety experts recommend that children ride rearward facing in the vehicle as long as possible. Infants up to 13 kg must be restrained in a rear-facing seat like the child seat shown in fig. A. This type of child restraint supports the child’s head and does not induce stress on the neck in the event of sudden decelerations or a crash. The rear-facing child restraint is restrained by the vehicle’s seat belts, as shown in fig. A. The child seat restrains the child with its own harness.
Graphic
Children who weigh between 9 kg and 18 kg may be carried in a Group 1, forward facing seat like the one in fig. B. This type of child restraint is for older children who are too big for a Group 0 or 0+ child restraint.
Graphic
Children who weigh between 15 kg and 25 kg and who are too big for the Group 1 child restraint may use a Group 2 child restraint system. As shown in fig. C, the Group 2 child restraint system positions the child correctly with respect to the seat belt so that the shoulder belt crosses the child’s chest and not the neck, and the lap belt is snug on the pelvis and not the abdomen.
Graphic
Children who weigh between 22 kg and 36 kg and who are tall enough to use the adult shoulder belt may use a Group 3 child restraint. Group 3 child restraints position the lap belt on the child’s pelvis. The child must be tall enough that the shoulder belt crosses the child’s chest and not their neck. Fig. D shows an example of a Group 3 child restraint system correctly positioning the child on the rear seat.
Suitability of Passenger Seats for i-Size Child Restraint System Use:
The second-row outboard seats of the vehicle are type-approved for i-Size child restraint systems. These child restraint systems, built and type-approved according to the i-Size (ECE R129 & ECE R145) standard, ensure better safety conditions to carry children on board a vehicle.
•  The child must be transported rearward facing until 15 months.
•  Child restraint system protection is increased in the event of a side collision.
•  The use of the ISOFIX system is promoted to avoid faulty installation of the child restraint system.
•  Efficiency in the choice of the child restraint system, which isn't made according to weight anymore but according to the child's height, is increased:
•  Compatibility between the vehicle seats and the child restraint systems is better:
•  The i-Size child restraint systems can be considered as "Super ISOFIX"; this means that they can be perfectly fitted in type-approved i-Size seats but can also be fitted in ISOFIX (ECE R44) type-approved seats.
Graphic
The vehicle seats, i-Size type-approved, are marked by the symbol shown in the image

How to use the i–Size Lower Latch Anchor/ i–Size Rods
1. i–Size Marking gjkkllool 2. Latch anchor/ i–Size rod
Graphic
•  The i–Size lower latch anchors (rods) are located in rear seats bottom position. Their locations are shown in the illustration
•  Insert the child restraint attachments into the i–Size lower latch anchors (rods) until it clicks. Refer Child seat installation manual.
•  Do not use the seat belt for installing the i–Size child restraint
i–Sizesystem is a standardized method of fitting child seats that eliminates the need to use the standard adult Seat belt to secure the seat in the vehicle. This enables a much more secure and positive location with the added benefit of easier and quicker installation.
•  When using the “ i–Size” lower latch system (rod), all unused vehicle rear seat belt metal latch plates or tabs must be latched securely in their seat belt buckles and the seat belt webbing must be retracted behind the child restraint to prevent the child from reaching and taking hold of un-retracted seat belts. Unlatched metal latch plates or tabs may allow the child to reach the un-retracted seat belts which may result in strangulation and a serious injury or death to the child in the child restraint.
•  Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly-fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle
How to use the Top Tether/Rear Anchor

3. Connect the tether connector in child restraint to the top tether rod/ rear anchor. Securely tighten the child restraint by adjusting the webbing of the child restraint system (CRS) tether connector. Follow the clear instructions provide in the CRS manual
•  The top-tether/ rear anchor is the supplemental device to secure the child restraint system after engaging it by the i–Size rod/lower latches. Therefore, do not secure the child restraint system only with the seat back anchors. The increased load may cause the hooks or anchors to break, causing serious injury or death.
•  If a child restraint is not properly secured to the vehicle and a child is not properly restrained in the child restraint, the child could be seriously injured or killed in a collision. Always follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer for installation
•  Make sure the latches of the child restraint system are Firmly latched to the i–Size rod/lower latches. In this case, you can hear the “click” sound/ latch indications provided on seat.
•  Incorrectly installed child restraint system may cause an unexpected personal injury.
•  Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints
•  The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct top tether rod/rear anchor provided on seat back.
•  Don’t put the top tether strap over the head restraint of rear row seat which is not the correct methods and may cause risk.
•  Rock the child restraint to check if it is securely installed. Refer to instructions provided by the manufacturer of the child restraint.

•  Group II & III: Booster seat fitted on the rear seat with seat belt fastened. Always follow the installation procedure and use instructions provided by the manufacturer of the booster seat.
Cautions for i–Size Seat usage
•  The anchor provided on rear seat base back is the supplemental device to secure the child restraint system after engaging it by the lower latches. Therefore, do not secure the child restraint system only with the seat back anchors. The increased load may cause the hooks or anchors to break, causing serious injury or death.
•  If a child restraint is not properly secured to the vehicle and a child is not properly restrained in the child restraint, the child could be seriously injured or killed in a collision. Always follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer for installation.
•  Make sure the latches of the child restraint system are latched to the lower latches. In this case, you can hear the “click” sound and color indications.
•  The child restraint seat strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct seat back anchor provided on the rear seat base back side behind the seat carpet. Follow the instructions provided on the seat back for the details of anchor location.
•  Make sure that the child restraint system is firmly secured by rocking it in different directions.
•  Incorrectly installed child restraint system may cause an unexpected personal injury.
2.5 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) includes airbags, pre-tensioners and ECU. The airbags are designed to provide further protection to the vehicle occupants in addition to the primary protection provided by the seat belts and seat belt pre-tensioners.
The primary components of the system are the sensors which measure the crash severity. In the event of a significant frontal impact, the SRS airbags inflate to work in conjunction with the seat belts and help reduce injuries mainly to the driver's or front passenger's head/chest.
Seat belts are the primary restraint system in the vehicle. An airbag provides supplemental protection in addition to the seat belts.
All occupants, including the driver, should always wear their seat belts irrespective of presence of airbag to minimise the risk of severe injury in the event of a crash.
Airbags are more effective in reducing injuries when the seat belts are worn.
Airbags
Your vehicle has the following airbags:
Graphic
A:Driver Airbag
B: Front Passenger Airbag
C:Two side (seat) impact airbags (if equipped)
D: Two curtain airbags (if equipped)
2.5.1 Driver and Front Passenger Airbag
Your vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (Airbag) and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver and front passenger seating positions. The indications of the system's presence are the letters “SRS AIRBAG” embossed on the airbag pad cover in the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel pad above the glove box.
The SRS is designed to deploy the front airbag only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than ± 30° from the forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
Driver Airbag
Graphic
Graphic
Front Passenger Airbag
Graphic
Graphic
Front airbag are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear impact or rollover crashes. In addition, front airbag will not deploy in frontal crashes which are below the prescribed deployment threshold where risk of serious injuries is low.
Do not place any objects over the airbag or between the airbag and yourself. It cause injuries.
2.5.2 Side Impact Airbag (If equipped)
Graphic
Your vehicle is equipped with side impact airbag in both the front seats. The purpose of the airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger with additional protection during side impacts or collisions.
Graphic
Graphic
The side impact airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. To minimise the risk of severe injury in the event of a crash, every passenger must always wear their seat belt (see the chapter on Seat Belts in this manual). The airbags inflate very quickly with great force. Do not position any part of your body too close to airbag, you or especially children could be seriously injured/killed by a deploying airbag.
•  In the case of a side collision, the curtain airbag may be deployed together with the relevant side airbag on the side the collision occurs
•  The side impact airbag is supplementary to the seat belt systems and is not a substitute for them. Therefore, your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. The airbags deploy only in certain side impact conditions severe enough to cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants
•  For best protection from the side impact airbag system and to avoid being injured by the deploying side impact airbag, all seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened. The driver's hands should be placed on the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00 positions. The passengers arms and hands should be placed on their laps
•  Do not use any accessory seat covers. Use of seat covers could reduce or prevent the effectiveness of the system
•  Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side impact airbag
•  Do not place any objects over the airbag or between the air bag and yourself
•  Do not place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the door and the seat. Such objects may become dangerous projectiles and cause injury if the supplementary side impact airbag inflates
Do not cover the front seats with anything. It hinders the air bag inflation
An airbag is not designed to deploy in every type of crash. Depending on the type of accident or impact, the front airbags independently deploy thereby protecting the occupants. It is not necessary that ALL the airbags deploy during an accident.
2.5.3 Side Curtain Airbag (If equipped)
The side curtain air bags are contained between right above the front and rear doors and the end of the vehicle roof.
The Side Curtain air bags are located along sides of the roof rails on the A & B pillars. They are designed to help protect the heads of the front seat occupants and the rear outboard seat occupants in certain side impact collisions. The curtain airbag are designed to deploy depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and impact. The curtain airbag are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations, collisions from the front or rear of the vehicle or in rollover situations.
Graphic
Graphic
•  In the case of a side collision, the side airbag may be deployed together with the relevant curtain airbag on the side the collision occurs
•  In order for side and curtain airbag to provide the best protection, both front seat occupants and outboard rear occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belts properly fastened. Importantly, children should sit in a proper child restraint system in the rear seat
•  When children are seated in the rear outboard seats, they must be seated in the proper child restraint system. Make sure to position the child restraint system as far away from the door side as possible, and secure the child restraint system in a locked position
•  Do not allow the passengers to lean their heads or bodies onto doors or place objects between the doors and passengers when they are seated on seats equipped with side and/or curtain airbag
2.5.4 Passenger Airbag Activation/Deactivation
The passenger air bag activation/deactivation option is available in Instrument cluster menu.

2.5.5 Airbag System Malfunction Lamp
Graphic
Airbags do not require any regular maintenance or service. The airbag system malfunction lamp illuminates when the ignition is ON, and it turns OFF after about two seconds as self check confirming normal operations of airbag system and malfunction lamp.
This lamp monitors airbag sensor assembly, airbag sensors, indicator lamp, seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies, inflators, interconnecting wiring and power sources.
If either of the following conditions occur, there is a malfunction of the airbags or seat belt pre-tensioner. Immediately contact your Mahindra Authorised Dealer.
•  The lamp does not glow when the ignition is switched ON or glows beyond six (6) seconds after switching the ignition ON
•  The lamp comes ON at any other time, even briefly
•  The lamp comes ON intermittently
Never make any modifications to your vehicle which could affect the performance of airbag system. In particular, changes to the vehicle frame, bumpers, bull bar, front fenders, ride height, suspension, seat belts, interior trim, seats or steering wheel (especially covers, pads or other trim), could prevent proper deployment of the airbag. If you need to make any modifications to accommodate any disability you may have, please contact your Mahindra Authorised Dealer.
Never try to open or strike the airbag cover. If the airbag cover is cracked or damaged in any way, the airbag may not function as intended. Take the vehicle to an Mahindra Authorised Dealer.
Even if the airbags do not deploy during an accident, take your vehicle to an Mahindra Authorised Dealer for a thorough inspection of the airbag and seat belt systems, no matter how minor the accident. The airbag system could have been damaged, and may not work as intended in the future, resulting in serious injury.
2.5.6 Airbag Inflation/Deployment
The airbag sensors constantly monitor the forward deceleration of the vehicle. If an impact results in a forward deceleration beyond the designed threshold level, the system triggers the airbag inflators. This initiates a chemical reaction which quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas.
Upon deployment, tear seams moulded directly into the pad covers separate under pressure from the expansion of the airbags. Further opening of the covers allows full inflation of the airbags. A fully inflated airbag, in combination with a properly worn seat belt, slows the driver's or the passenger's forward motion, reducing the risk of head and chest injury.
After complete inflation, the airbag immediately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility and the ability to manoeuvre or operate other controls.
Deployment of the airbags happen in a milliseconds, producing a loud noise releasing a ‘white smoke’ and residue along with a non-toxic gas. This does not indicate a fire. This smoke may remain inside the vehicle for some time, and may cause some minor irritation to the eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure to wash off any residue with soap and water as soon as possible to prevent any potential skin irritation. Exit the vehicle as soon as possible after the accident.
Airbag deployment may cause windshield to break.
•  Do not modify, remove, strike or open the seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies, airbag sensor or surrounding area or wiring. Failure to follow these instructions may prevent them from activating correctly, cause sudden operation of the system or disable the system, which could result in serious injury
•  Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) may be hot for several minutes after deployment. The airbags inflate only once
•  Do not cover the steering wheel, instrument panel, seats with any object (e.g. dash panel covers, seat covers) which may prevent the airbags from inflating properly
•  The airbags inflate with considerable force. While the system is designed to reduce serious injuries, primarily to the head and chest, it may also cause other, less severe injuries to the face, chest, arms and hands. These are usually in the nature of minor burns or abrasions and swelling, but the force of a deploying airbag can also cause more serious injuries, especially if an occupant's hands, arms, chest or head is in close proximity to the airbag module at the time of deployment. Sit straight and well back into the seat. Move your seat as far back as practical to allow room for airbag inflation, while still allowing you to properly operate/drive the vehicle
The front passenger should never sit on the edge of the seat, stand near the glove compartment, rest feet or other parts of the body on the dashboard when the vehicle is moving.
Graphic
Graphic
The driver or front passenger who is too close to the steering wheel or dashboard can be seriously injured during airbag deployment.
Graphic
•  The driver must sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel while still maintaining control of the vehicle
•  The front passenger must sit as far back as possible from the dashboard
•  Sitting improperly or out of position can cause occupants to be shifted too close to a deploying airbag, strike the interior structure or be thrown from the vehicle resulting in serious injury
•  Always sit upright with the seat back in an upright position, on the seat cushion centre with your seat belt on, legs comfortably extended and your feet on the floor
•  All vehicle occupants must be properly restrained using the seat belts
•  All infants and children must be placed in the rear seat of the vehicle in a child restraint seat and be properly restrained by seat belts
•  Front airbags can injure occupants who are improperly positioned in the front seats
•  Even with airbags, improperly belted and un-belted occupants can be severely injured when the airbag inflates. Always follow the precautions about seat belts, airbags and occupant safety contained in this manual
•  Do not modify the front seats. Modification of the front seats could interfere with the operation of the supplemental restraint system or side impact airbags
•  Do not place items under the front seats. Placing items under the front seats could interfere with the operation of the supplemental restraint system sensing components and wiring harnesses
2.5.7 Child Restraint and Airbag
Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it
In addition, do not place front-facing child restraints in the front passenger’s seat either. If the front passenger airbag inflates, it could cause serious or fatal injuries to the child.
This is indicated also on stickers that are located at the following position. On the front passenger’s sun visor
Graphic
Graphic
Graphic
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rear-facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!
Never put a child restraint in the front passenger’s seat. If the front passenger airbag inflates, it can cause serious or fatal injuries.
Never hold an infant or child on your lap. The infant or child could be seriously injured in the event of a crash. All infants and children should be properly restrained in appropriate child safety seats or seat belts in the rear seat.
Instal the child restraint system on the rear outboard seats, and securely lock the child restraint system in position with the help of i–Size.
Always Buckle Children (ABC) in the back seat. It is the safest place for children of any age to ride.
2.5.8 Airbag Deployment
The images shown in this section are for illustrative purpose only. They may not look like your model/variant or vehicle.
Front Airbag
Graphic
Front airbag are designed to inflate in a frontal collision depending on the intensity, speed or angles of impact of the front collision.
2.5.9  Airbag Non-deployment
Impacts below a pre-determined threshold level may not cause the airbag to deploy in the following cases:
Collision with Utility Poles or Trees :
Graphic
Airbags may not inflate if the vehicle collides with objects such as utility poles or trees, where the point of impact is concentrated to one area and the full force of the impact is not delivered to the sensors.
Frontal Impact :
Graphic
Frontal impact beyond 30º range from head-on to the vehicle.
Frontal Side Swipe Impact:
Frontal offset impact to the vehicle may not provide the deceleration force necessary for airbag deployment.
Graphic
In an angled collision, the force of impact may direct the occupants in a direction where the airbags would not be able to provide any additional benefit, and thus the sensors may not deploy any airbags.
Under-ride Situations :
Running under a truck's tailgate may not provide the decelerations necessary for airbag deployment.
Graphic
Airbags will not inflate in this “under-ride” situation where deceleration forces that are detected by sensors are significantly low.
Rear-end Collisions :
Graphic
Frontal airbags are not designed to inflate in rear collisions, where occupants are moved backward away from the airbags by the force of the impact. In this case, inflated airbags would not be able to provide any additional benefit.
Potholes or Stepped Surfaces :
Graphic
Driving into a big pothole, stepped surface or hitting the far side of a hole/incline will not inflate the airbag.
Rollover:
Graphic
Airbags will not inflate in rollover accidents where airbag deployment would not provide protection to the occupants. However, side impact and curtain airbags may inflate only when severe side impact causes rollover.
2.5.10 Airbag Service
Airbag Replacement: Self-servicing or tampering with the airbag system is dangerous. An airbag could accidentally deploy causing serious injuries, or will not deploy when there is a need. Always take your vehicle to an Mahindra Authorised Dealer for inspection and repairs.
Removing SRS Related Parts: We do not recommend removing the instrument panel, steering wheel, seats or airbag related parts or sensors by any individual or garages which are not recommended. Airbags could accidentally activate and cause serious injuries, or they may not deploy when there is a need. Visit an Mahindra Authorised Dealer if these parts must be removed.
Airbag Disposal: Improper disposal of an airbag or a vehicle with live airbags can be extremely dangerous. Approach an Mahindra Authorised Dealer to do these jobs.
Airbag Repair: If the front airbag cover or instrument panel airbag cover shows signs of damage or having been removed, the vehicle should be towed to the nearest Mahindra Authorised Dealer for repair. Do not attempt to self repair or reinstall the cover.
Airbag Maintenance: For cleaning the airbag covers/areas, use only a soft dry cloth or one which has been moistened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper deployment of the system.

3.1.3 Fuel Level Gauge
High Low
Graphic
Graphic
The fuel level gauge functions only when the ignition is switched ON. It gives the status of the fuel level in the fuel tank. F indicates the tank is full (57 +/- 2 liters), E indicates the tank is empty.
When the fuel level reaches the reserve, the last bar will be displayed and low fuel telltale will be ON (approx 12 liters). when the fuel tank is completely empty, last bar goes off from display and low fuel telltale will be blinking . 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 last bar may flash earlier than usual. Always check the fuel level when the vehicle is on level road. If the last bar is still off and telltale is blinking even after filling sufficient fuel, contact your Mahindra Authorised Dealer as soon as possible.
When all the bars in the display starts blinking/flashing, contact the nearest Mahindra Authorised Dealer at the earliest.
It is highly recommended to start the fueling at ignition OFF condition and turn on the ignition only when fueling is finished to get correct fuel level.
IGN ON fuel filling may lead to inconsistency and can cause for DTE fluctuation.
3.1.4 Temperature Gauge
The engine coolant temperature gauge functions only when the ignition is switched ON. It indicates the instantaneous engine coolant temperature. The coolant temperature varies with changes in weather, load on engine and driving pattern.
If the gauge moves beyond the normal operating range toward “H” mark. it indicates the engine overheating that may damage the engine. Allow engine to cool. In such situations switch OFF the AC and observe any improvements in the temperature gauge. If not, stop the vehicle and allow the engine to cool down. Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir and top-up if required. If the engine is still overheating, contact your nearest Mahindra Authorised Dealer.

3. Exhaust emission control system
To ensure optimal functioning of the emission control systems, it is recommended that you have your vehicle inspected and maintained by an authorised Mahindra dealer.
Emission Control Systems for Petrol vehicles
It is a highly effective system that controls exhaust emissions from an engine. It is crucial for meeting emission standards specified by law.
Your vehicle is equipped with a three-way catalytic converter (TWC) for meeting BS VI emission norms.
For optimal functioning of the emission control system, it is mandatory to get your vehicle inspected and maintained by a Authorised Mahindra Dealer. The maintenance schedule in owner’s manual should be followed.
In addition, it is important to use the correct grade of fuel, confirming IS 2796:2017 BS VI specification.
Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC)
It is an exhaust after treatment component that is designed to convert carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx) into carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N) and water (H2O).
Emission Control System for Diesel vehicles
The emission control system is a highly effective system which controls exhaust emissions from the engine and crucial for meeting emission norms specified by law.
Your vehicle is equipped with the following emission control systems for meeting BS VI emission norms.
1. Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC)
2. Selective Catalytic Reduction(SCR)
3. Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
To ensure optimal functioning of the emission control systems, it is mandatory to get your vehicle inspected and maintained by a Authorised Mahindra Dealer. The maintenance schedule in the Warranty & Service Information Guide need to be followed.
It is also extremely important to use correct grade of fuel, Confirming to IS 1460:2017 BS VI Specification.
4.1 Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC)
A diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) is an after-treatment component that is designed to convert carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
4.2 Selective Catalytic Reduction(SCR)
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is an advanced active emission control technology system that injects a liquid-reducing agent through a special catalyst into the exhaust stream of a diesel engine. The reductant is called as Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). The DEF sets off a chemical reaction that converts nitrogen oxides into nitrogen and water which is then expelled through the vehicle tailpipe.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) MaxiCLEAN
To enable the SCR system to work efficiently and to ensure emission compliance, it is recommended to use MaxiCLEAN DEF meeting IS 17042 (or) ISO 22241 specification.
Replenishing DEF is part of regular maintenance service. DEF consumption is highly dependent on driving conditions/pattern and it may be necessary to refill the DEF reservoir in-between the scheduled service if need be, You are advised to monitor DEF Indicator Tell Tale and symbols/text messages displayed on the Cluster.
MaxiCLEAN DEF is available at all the Authorised Mahindra Dealers in packs of variable capacities. Individual DEF Packs may have specific filler neck, for filling DEF in the vehicle. While refilling DEF, take care to avoid spillage on your body or outer panels of the vehicle to avoid any stains or inconvenience.
It is unlawful to tamper with or remove any component of the after-treatment system. It is strongly recommended not to use DEF which does not meet the above specification. Further, this may lead to emission non-compliance and warranty getting void.
•  Use Genuine DEF MaxiCLEAN always.
•  Incase of non-availability of the above mentioned MaxiCLEAN Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) complying to IS 17042 (or) ISO 22241 specification can be used.
•  Never attempt to use agricultural grade urea mixed with water. Agricultural grade urea does not meet the necessary specifications and the after treatment system of your vehicle may be damaged.
•  Total DEF quantity inside the DEF Tank should never exceed 20 liters. Overfilling may result in system/component failure.
•  DEF quality and purity can be ensured only if it is stored as per recommendations. Hence ensure to store DEF in a cool, dry place.
•  Do not add urea to DEF and do not dilute with water. This may cause damage to the after treatment system.
•  While refilling DEF be careful not to allow any foreign particles, liquids, wiping paper/clothing fibers or lint to get inside the system. These may clog or damage the system.
•  While refilling DEF, use only the pipe supplied with the MaxiCLEAN. Do not use any funnel or container. Any contamination with Diesel or oils will cause malfunction of the after treatment system.
•  If DEF accidently spill over vehicle components or metal surfaces, rinse with water or wipe off with sponge and water. DEF residues will corrode the components, metal surfaces and painted body panels.
•  DEF is not a fuel additive and must not be added to the diesel fuel tank. If DEF is mixed with the diesel fuel, engine/fuel system could get damaged.
•  In such a case, do not start the engine and immediately contact nearest Mahindra Authorised Dealer for assistance.
Contamination/ Incorrect DEF: If incorrect or contaminated fluid is filled inside DEF Tank, contact an authorized M&M dealer to determine the appropriate repair procedure.

•  Keep DEF out of the reach of children
•  In case if any part of the body comes in contact with DEF, clean affected area immediately with plenty of water
•  If DEF comes in contact with eyes, flush with plenty of water immediately and seek medical help.
•  If DEF is swallowed, rinse mouth immediately with plenty of water, drink plenty of water immediately and seek medical help.
•  Refrain from storing DEF refill containers inside the vehicle. Ammonia vapors may escape from the container which have a pungent odor and are particularly irritating to the skin, mucous membranes and eyes. Inhaling ammonia vapors may cause irritation to the eyes, nose and throat, as well as cough.
•  When opening the DEF filler cap, ammonia vapors may escape. Therefore ensure to refill DEF in a well- ventilated area only.
•  If Diesel Exhaust Fluid is spilled on metal surfaces rinse and clean immediately with water. Failure to do so may leave permanent corrosive stains on the metal surfaces which cannot be removed.
DEF Operating Condition: DEF will freeze at -11°C (12.2°F). This is a natural phenomenon. The DEF system in the vehicle is designed considering this and does not require any external heating or additives to avoid freezing.
The Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system purges to prevent damage from freezing. Do NOT disconnect battery power within 20 minutes of switching the ignition key off. Failure to comply may result in vehicle or property damage.
Refilling DEF: Your Vehicle DEF Filler Neck is located beside the Fuel filler Neck. The DEF storage tank is located under the body.
Following below are the steps to refill the DEF:
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and switch OFF the ignition.
Graphic
2. Press the key fob unlock button and Press the fuel lid gently once to open.
3. Rotate the DEF filler cap in anti-clockwise direction and remove.
4. Fill DEF from the Container Pack. Each container pack has a unique mouth and filling provision. Ensure utilizing the same to avoid spillage. Example. 10 Liter Pack provided with filler tube.
5. Fill DEF as required. Maximum Storage capacity is 20 liters. Minimum quantity to be filled is 6.0 liters.
6. Rinse with water or use sponge wetted with water to clean the components/surfaces in case the DEF spills over.
7. Put the DEF filler cap back in its place and tighten in the clock wise direction, then close the fuel lid shut.
8. Switch the ignition ON
9. Verify that there is no warning regarding DEF low level. If the DEF Level Low warning is still appearing, check if enough quantity is filled, If still problem persist contact the nearest Authorised Mahindra Dealer immediately.
10. DEF is being monitored through iSmart tool during regular service at dealership and the required quantity will be filled accordingly.
It is highly recommended to DEF filling always at Ignition off condition only
4.2.1 SCR Alerts
Introduction
Graphic
DEF telltale will turn ON and an error message with code will be displayed on the cluster screen due to any of the following reasons:
•  DEF level low
•  Incorrect DEF detected
•  DEF dosing malfunction
It is unlawful to tamper with or remove any component of the after-treatment system. It is strongly recommended not to use DEF which does not meet the specification. Further, this may lead to emission non-compliance and warranty getting void.
4.2.2 DEF Level Indication
When DEF level in the tank falls below pre-defined values, warnings are flashed in stages as explained below:
Irrespective of the warning stages, once DEF level is low, a minimum of 6.0 liters of DEF needs to be filled. If the warnings continue even after refill, contact the nearest Authorised Mahindra Dealer immediately.

In absence of DEF level low warning, refilling is not recommended.
Total DEF quantity inside the DEF Tank should never be more than 20 liters. Overfilling may result in system/component failure. Only a Authorised Mahindra Dealer will be able to correctly determine the quantity of DEF present inside the tank. Hence if you are refilling the DEF yourself, fill only 6.0 liters in case the DEF Low level warning is flashed.
If the DEF warning lamp turns on due to the DEF level, refill the DEF tank. Failure to refill may cause engine start restriction.
4.2.3 DEF Quality

4.3 Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
The Diesel particulate filter (DPF) is an integral part of the vehicle exhaust gas emission reduction systems and it removes the soot (Particulate matter) from the exhaust gas. Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF is a regenerative filter. Regeneration is triggered automatically according to vehicle driving conditions which burns the accumulated particles/soot from the DPF. The process is called as DPF Active Regeneration.
However, if the vehicle continues to be driven in the below conditions the accumulated soot may not be automatically removed because of low exhaust gas temperatures.
1. Heavy traffic driving conditions, especially in the city
2. Frequent short trips
3. Low speed for a long time
When more than a certain amount of soot gets deposited, the DPF telltale turns ON along with the DPF clogged alert.
Graphic
Graphic
If the DPF telltale turns ON when driving the vehicle, it indicates that the DPF regeneration has not occurred successfully. At this moment, we suggest DPF regeneration must be done as mentioned below:
Take the vehicle to an empty stretch of road/highway and drive for 20 – 30 mins @ speeds above 60 km/hr until the telltale turns off.
•  Follow speed limits & traffic regulations as defined by local jurisdiction while driving.
If the DPF telltale starts blinking, perform DPF park regeneration following the below procedure.
If the OBD telltale is ON & DPF telltale blinking. Stop the vehicle and contact the nearest Authorised Mahindra dealer for assistance.
Continuous driving with DPF telltale blinking may lead to failure of exhaust system components
DPF Park Regeneration
DPF park regeneration is the procedure to start a DPF regeneration when the vehicle is stationary from the instrument cluster. Follow the below steps to perform Park Regeneration. The DPF park regeneration is only possible when the REGEN telltale is ON in the instrument cluster.
•  Park the vehicle safely in a well ventilated levelled open space and free of any flammable material.
•  Shift the gear lever to Neutral with the engine running and apply the parking brake.
•  Access the Drive info menu in the instrument cluster and press the down button to go to the REGEN screen, REGEN screen will appear only when the REGEN telltale is ON.
Graphic
•  REGEN screen will go OFF if REGEN telltale turns OFF.
•  When in the REGEN screen of the drive info menu, long Press OK button on the steering wheel or the driver side switch bank to start park regeneration.
•  Once regeneration starts, “In Progress” text will appear below REGEN. The engine idle speed will increase indicating regeneration has started.
Graphic
•  Park Regeneration can take up to 30 minutes to complete. Once completed the REGEN telltale in the instrument cluster will turn OFF. The engines idling speed also returns to normal.
•  To abort the Park regeneration in case of any emergency, turn OFF the ignition or press any of the Accelerator, Brake or Clutch Pedals.
•  If the Park Regeneration gets aborted by itself or does not start, contact an Authorised Mahindra Dealer for assistance.
•  During the regeneration process, ensure not to park the vehicle close to any flammable materials as you may observe hot emission gases from exhaust pipe.
•  To avoid burns & personal injury, keep yourself away from exhaust system.
Park Regeneration process will not start if CHECK ENGINE LAMP or OBD are ON in the cluster. Take your vehicle to a Authorised Mahindra dealer for assistance.
When Park regeneration is happening do not press the Accelerator, Brake, Clutch pedals or change the gear from Neutral or Park as this will abort the regeneration process.
Diesel Fuel
It is recommended to use the regulated automotive diesel fuel confirming to IS 1460: 2017 spec only.
If the diesel fuel with high sulfur content (more than 10 PPM) and unspecified additives are used, it can cause damage to the DPF system and will not be covered under warranty.

Do's & Don’ts
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
•  Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) complying to IS 17042 (or) ISO 22241 specification can be used.
•  Never attempt to use agricultural grade urea mixed with water. Agricultural grade urea does not meet the necessary specifications and the after-treatment system of your vehicle may be damaged.
•  Do not add urea to DEF and do not dilute with water. This may cause damage to the treatment system.
•  Total DEF quantity inside the DEF tank should never exceed 20 liters. Overfilling may result in system/component failure.
•  While refilling DEF inside tank be careful not to allow any foreign particles, liquids, wiping paper/clothing fibers or lint to get inside the system. These may clog or damage the system.
•  DEF is not a fuel additive and must not be added to the diesel fuel tank. If DEF is mixed with the diesel fuel, engine/fuel system could get damaged
•  If DEF is spilled over vehicle components and metal surfaces, rinse with water or wipe off with sponge and water. DEF residues will corrode the components and metal surfaces, painted body panels
•  Do not refill the DEF with Engine ON or ignition ON state
•  When opening the DEF filler cap, ammonia vapors may escape. Refill DEF in a well - ventilated area only.
•  Ensure that DEF does not come into contact with skin, eyes, or clothing
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF): During the regeneration process, ensure not to park the vehicle near any flammable materials as you may observe hot emission gases from exhaust pipe.
To avoid burns & personal injury, keep yourself away from exhaust system.
Follow speed limits & traffic regulations as defined by local jurisdiction while driving.

7.3 Heating, Ventilation And Air-Conditioning System (HVAC)
HVAC system provided in the vehicle enables occupants to automatically/manually adjust air flow distribution pattern, air flow rate, air intake mode and air temperature inside passenger compartment.
By appropriately adjusting the control knobs/switches provided on the DATC/ETC control panel, located on center console, occupant’s comfort can be ensured.
HVAC system also helps in defogging / de-misting the windshield and windows. Air flow direction can be further controlled by adjusting louvres of air vents. An air filter is provided at the outlet of HVAC blower and before cooling coil.
Engine coolant is utilized to heat the cabin air. For cooling the cabin air, an air conditioning circuit based on the vapor compression refrigeration cycle is used. The air conditioning system uses a refrigerant along with a suitable lubricating oil.
Although being non-ozone depleting, the refrigerant is a greenhouse gas, hence once allowed to escape in the atmosphere, it adversely affects the environment by contributing to global warming/climate change
Refrigerant used in system is a hazardous liquefied gas and is under high pressure.
The refrigerant is colorless and has ethereal or faint sweetish odor. Exposure of refrigerant to skin or eyes may cause irritation and frostbite.
They can also cause suffocation, dizziness and loss of concentration. When mixed with compressed air or certain other refrigerants, it may form flammable mixture. Never try to service HVAC system yourself which would involve refrigerant handling.
- If you sleep while operating the air conditioner or heater with all the windows closed, You may suffocate to death due to lack of ventilation. When you operate the air conditioner or heater, ventilate frequently.
Multiple vents are provided for distributing the air, being force-circulated by HVAC blower, throughout the passenger compartment.
To ensure sufficient air flow and hence adequate HVAC system performance, air flow path should be kept free of obstructions. Keep system’s air intake, located near plenum appliqué, free of snow, leaves and other debris. Also keep the area in front of air vents free of any obstruction inside the cabin.
7.3.1 Air Vents
Graphic
Side Vents: The two side vents are located one each at the left and right extreme ends of the instrument panel. Both the side vents provide air flow to the front seat passengers.
Graphic
Centre Vents: Two center vents are located on both sides of the infotainment screen in the center console. Both the center vents provide air flow to the front seat passengers. Direct air to the desired direction by adjusting the Louvres left/right.
Graphic
Defogger Vents: There are four defogger vents in your vehicle: two side defogger and two windshield defogger vents.
Graphic
They are located just below the windshield. The side defogger vents prevent the front windows from defogging.
Second Row AC Unit/AC Vents: The second row AC unit/AC vents are located on the rear side of the center console based on the variants.

Temperature Control Knob
By operating the temperature control knob, temperature of air being discharged from various vents can be adjusted to the desired level. Engine coolant is utilized to heat, whereas the air conditioner is used to cool the air inside the AC unit. Based upon selected position of the temperature control knob, the desired discharged air temperature can be obtained.
Graphic
By rotating the knob anti-clockwise and setting it to the extreme left position, maximum cooling is obtained. When the knob is rotated clockwise, the discharged air progressively starts getting warmer and at the extreme right position, hot air is discharged.
Blower Speed Control Knob
The blower force-circulates the air through the HVAC unit and distributes it throughout the passenger compartment.
Graphic
Blower is OFF when the blower speed control knob is set to small (Blower Symbol) position (extreme left). To switch-ON the blower, rotate the control knob clockwise which progressively increases the blower speed.
A/C switch
This button turns the air-conditioner ON or OFF.
Graphic
When the air conditioner is functioning, air gets cooled and de-humidified before being circulated inside the cabin. In hot weather conditions, it will take a slightly longer time to cool the interior as compared to cooler weather. Fuel consumption will be relatively higher if the vehicle is being driven with the air conditioner ON.
AC will function only when both engine and blower are switched ON.
•  In certain operating conditions when the engine gets overheated, the engine management system may switch off the air conditioner intermittently
•  The air conditioner should be operated at least for ten minutes once every fortnight, even during winter months. This allows AC system components to get lubricated periodically and ensures optimum system
•  During extreme cold weather conditions, the air conditioner may not function until temperature of the air near the evaporator rises above a predefined threshold
•  When air conditioner is ON, moisture is extracted from the air. The resulting condensate is drained off from the vehicle. It is therefore normal, if you see a small pool of water under your vehicle
Re-circulation Mode (Re-circulation mode switch ON)
Graphic
To set the HVAC system to recirculation mode, press the recirculation mode button. The LED on the button illuminates, indicating the recirculation mode is active. In this intake mode, the air from inside the passenger compartment will be sucked by the blower and utilized further to ventilate /cool / heat the cabin.
For quick cabin cooling/heating or while driving through dusty/polluted region, re-circulation mode can be selected for short periods. Driving with this mode active, may lead to better fuel economy and longer HVAC filter life. However, running the air conditioner in re-circulation mode for long will make cabin air too dry and oxygen level drops inside cabin the turning the air stale. On the contrary, keeping air intake control in recirculation mode for long, with air conditioner switched OFF, will make cabin air too humid and windshield and window are more likely to become foggy. Hence, never drive in recirculation mode for long, shift back to fresh air mode intermittently.
Never keep recirculation mode selected continuously for long period. Prolonged use of the HVAC system in recirculation mode may cause windshield/windows to mist/fog-up, impairing visibility which can lead to an accident, endangering you and others.

Fresh Air Mode (Re-Circulation Mode Switch Off)
Graphic
To set the HVAC system to fresh air mode, press the re-circulation mode button again. The LED on this button switches OFF, indicating that fresh air mode is active. In this intake mode, fresh air from outside the vehicle is sucked by the blower and utilized further to ventilate /cool / heat the cabin.

7.3.11 Points to Remember
•  For quickly defogging/de-misting outside of front windshield, it is advisable to operate the windshield wiper/washer for few times intermittently
•  If snow has deposited on windshield, use ice scraper to remove ice deposited before using wiper
•  In freezing weather, warm the front windshield with the defogger before using the windshield washer. Also use a washer fluid having anti-freezing properties. These will help prevent the washer fluid from freezing on your windshield
•  Dirty/contaminated windshield would make misting / fogging-up worse. Always keep the inside and outside of windshield clean
•  Reduced air flow because of clogged HVAC filter or any other obstructions in air flow path may lead to inadequate defogging/de-misting performance. If air flow seems to have considerably reduced, get the filter cleaned or replaced immediately. Air flow path should be kept free of obstructions
•  Reduced cooling performance from air conditioner may lead to inadequate defogging/de-misting. If cooling effect seems to have dropped considerably, get the air conditioning system checked by an Mahindra Authorised Dealer
Your vehicle is equipped with a HVAC filter. If the AC performance is considerably low, it is recommended to have the HVAC filter checked at the nearest Mahindra Authorised Dealer.
Keep in mind that a choked filter will also lead to poor cooling.
Never operate HVAC system with the filter removed. This may result in premature failure of system components.
8 STARTING AND DRIVING 1
8.1 Safety Tips - Before Starting Your Vehicle

Before starting your journey, check and ensure proper functioning of safety devices/components like brake system, steering system, all lamps & tyres. Also ensure no critical warning lamps are ON in the cluster. In case of any safety device/component not functioning as intended or any critical warning lamps found ON in cluster, contact Authorised Mahindra service center and get it rectified before starting the journey.
Adjust the seat headrest, steering wheel and fasten the seat belt as described in this manual. Never perform any seat / steering adjustments when the vehicle is in motion. Start the vehicle only when seated and belted in the driver's seat
Engine idle speed is controlled by engine management system. When the engine starts, idle RPM runs higher than normal in order to warm the engine. The engine idle speed RPM reduces once the engine warms up.
Never start your vehicle in a closed garage or in an enclosed area. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always keep the garage door open or start the engine in an open area.
Mirror Adjustment: Ensure that the rear view mirror and both the ORVM’s are adjusted for an unobstructed view of the road behind.
Exterior Lamps: With the help of someone observe and confirm normal operation of all exterior lamps while you work on the controls from the driver seat. Also, check functioning of all lamps in the instrument panel.
Door Latches: Check for positive closing, latching, and locking of all doors, both from inside and outside.
Fluid Leaks: Check the area under the vehicle after an overnight parking for fuel, power steering fluid, brake fluid, engine coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks. If leaks are observed contact Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
8.2 Starting the Engine

8.5.2 General Driving Precautions
Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of accidents leading to serious personal injury or damage to your vehicle.
•  Before you drive your vehicle, please read this manual carefully
•  Before you start driving, check proper operation of the brakes and steering system
•  If, while driving, you hear any strange noise or feel unusual vibration, or if you have any concerns whatsoever, or if any warning lamps illuminate or buzzers sound, park/stop the vehicle in a safe location as soon as possible. Identify the cause and take any necessary remedial action. Contact your Mahindra Authorised Dealer if necessary
•  Never overload or improperly load your vehicle
•  Always be attentive while driving and follow safe driving practices
•  Always maintain the recommended inflation pressure in tyres
•  Always drive at a safe speed appropriate for given driving conditions. You must follow the speed limits
•  While backing up, keep a constant lookout for people, particularly children, or other obstructions or hazardous material that might be present behind the vehicle
•  Avoid loading any items on the roof that will raise the vehicles center of gravity and make your vehicle more unstable
•  Loaded vehicles, with a higher center of gravity, may handle differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such as slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken when driving a heavily loaded vehicle
•  Always slowdown in gusty crosswinds. Because of its profile and higher center of gravity, your vehicle is more sensitive to side winds than an ordinary passenger car. Slowing down will allow you to have much better control
•  When driving in off-road or on rugged terrain, do not drive at excessive speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike objects, etc. This may cause loss of control or vehicle rollover causing serious injury. You are also risking expensive damage to your vehicle's suspension and chassis
•  Maintain steering wheel control at all times, especially on rough terrains. Sudden changes in terrain can result in abrupt steering wheel motion. Make sure you grip the steering wheel from the outside. Do not grip the spokes
•  If the vehicle goes from one type of surface to another (e.g. from concrete to gravel/sand/mud/snow) there will be a change in the way the vehicle responds, especially the way it responds to steering, braking and accelerating inputs
•  Be extremely careful when driving on pavements made slippery by loose sand, water, gravel, snow or ice
•  If your vehicle goes off the edge of the pavement, slow down, but avoid severe brake or steering application. Ease the vehicle back onto the pavement only after reducing your speed. Do not turn the steering wheel too sharply while returning to the road surface
•  It may be safer to stay on the apron or shoulder of the road and slow down gradually before returning to the pavement. You may lose control if you do not slow down or if you turn the steering wheel too sharply or abruptly
•  In an unavoidable emergency situation where a sudden sharp turn must be made, turn the steering wheel only as rapidly and as far as required to avoid the emergency. Excessive steering will result in less vehicle control. Additionally, smooth variations of the accelerator and/or brake pedal pressure should be utilized if changes in vehicle speed are called for. Avoid abrupt steering, acceleration or braking which could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover and/or personal injury. Use all available road surfaces to return the vehicle to a safe direction of travel
8.5.3 Off-Road Driving Precautions
•  When driving in off-road or on rugged terrains, never over speed or make sharp turns. This may cause loss of control or vehicle rollover causing serious injury
•  Always maintain steering wheel control, Sudden changes in terrain can result in abrupt steering wheel motion
•  Drive cautiously to avoid vehicle damage from concealed objects such as rocks and stumps. You should either know the terrain or map-out your route before driving in the area
•  Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off-road driving that has taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud or water
8.5.4 If your vehicle is submerged
If Your stationary Vehicle is Submerged up to over the bumper
Graphic
Contact your Mahindra Authorised Dealer immediately. Have the vehicle towed to nearest Mahindra Authorised Dealer to check any entry of water into the engine
All fluids including engine and transmission fluids required to be changed in case of water ingress and contamination
Never attempt to start the engine, without the advice from Mahindra Authorised Dealer technician.
•  Never drive through water when it flows above the bottom portion of the bumper or above the tyre center line
•  The engine could get damaged internally if attempts are made to cross through deep water
•  Wet brake discs have a lower coefficient or friction resulting in reduced braking efficiency. Tab the brake pedal while driving to remove the film of water
8.5.5 Driving Through Water
Although your vehicle is capable of driving through shallow water, there are a number of precautions that must be considered before entering the water.
Never drive through still water that is higher than the bottom of the axle hubs. Not following this instruction will allow water to enter vehicle components causing internal damage to the components, affecting drivability, safety, emissions, and reliability.
When driving through water, drive very slowly and at constant speed, less than 8 kmph. Drive with out pressing accelerator pedal and control speed using only the brakes. At higher speed waves can be generated by the front of the vehicle. These water waves may enter air intake, causing severe engine damage or cause a vehicle to get stalled.
You must slow down while driving through shallow water. Speeding may cause water to splash onto the windshield, impairing your vision. In extreme conditions, you may get a water wedge formation between the road and tyre causing loss of control in the vehicle.
•  The ground under the water might not be firm which could result the water being deeper than expected when driving the vehicle through it
•  Do not stop or shut OFF the engine while immersed in water. It helps in preventing water getting inside the exhaust pipes
•  When backing down a ramp, do not allow the exhaust tail pipe to immerse in water
•  Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and premature failure. It may also enter the differentials, transmission, and transfer case, reducing the oil's lubricating qualities. If these are submerged in water, the lubricants should be replaced as required
•  Water entering the transmission will cause deterioration in shift quality, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration, and ultimately damaging the transmission
•  Sand, mud/sludge that has accumulated in around brake discs may affect braking efficiency. This may also damage brake system components. Wet brakes cannot stop the vehicle as effectively as dry brakes. Drying can be improved by driving the vehicle slowly while applying light pressure on the brake pedal
•  When driving through water, traction or brake capability may be limited. Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off-road driving that has taken you through water
8.5.6 Flowing Water
If the water is swift flowing and rising (as in storm run-off) avoid crossing until the water level recedes and/or the flow rate is reduced. The flowing water can erode the streambed causing your vehicle to sink into deeper water. Determine the exit point(s) that are downstream of your entry point to compensate for drifting.
8.5.7 After Driving Off-Road or through Water
Off-road operation puts more stress on your vehicle than does most on-road driving. Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off-road driving that has taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud, or water.
•  After going off-road, it is always a good idea to check for damage. Completely inspect the underbody of the vehicle for any damages
•  Check for accumulations of plants or bushes. or polyethylene / plastic. These could be a fire hazard at high temperatures.
•  Inspect all the tubes/hoses and check for any fluid leakages
•  Get heat exchangers (radiator and condenser) cleaned
•  We also recommend that the vehicle be checked at the Mahindra Authorised Dealer for any water entry into the transmission / axle or the engine.
Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may cause excessive wear or unpredictable braking. You might not have full braking power when needed leading to accidents. If you have been operating the vehicle in off-road conditions, get the brakes checked and cleaned as necessary.
•  If any unusual vibration is experienced, check the wheels for impacted material. Impacted material can cause a wheel imbalance. Get it inspected/corrected as soon as possible
•  After driving through deep water, inspect your vehicle fluids and lubricants (engine oil, transmission/transfer case/axle oils) to ensure the fluids have not been contaminated
8.6 Tips for Better Fuel Economy
Fuel mileage (efficiency) depends on the average speed of the vehicle, number of times the gears are shifted/Clutch pressed and number of times the brakes are applied. Vehicles operating in city traffic condition /bumper to bumper traffic will exhibit lower fuel mileage as compared to vehicles operating in open highways with higher average speeds.
DOs
•  Ensure that your vehicle is maintained as per recommendation (Refer to Warranty and Service Information Guide)
•  Ensure that the tyre pressures are as per recommendation (Ref to sticker on door pillar or
Page 9-3 )
•  Ensure parking brakes are released fully
•  Use Engine Start-Stop feature to the maximum
(Ref Page no 8-42), if applicable
•  Drive with all the windows closed to reduce aerodynamic drag
•  Accelerate smoothly with a light foot on the accelerator
•  Anticipate stops and slow down in coasting mode before applying brake
•  In manual transmission, shift gears at the right speeds (Ref page 6-14 for gear shift indication prompts)
Don'ts
•  Fitting roof carrier will increase drag and reduce fuel mileage
•  Driving at speeds above 80 Kms/hr reduces fuel mileage
•  Do not rest the left foot on the clutch pedal in manual transmission vehicles as it will reduce the fuel mileage as well as damage clutch/transmission components
•  Do not attempt to use brakes with the left foot in Automatic transmission vehicles

How to Measure /Read Fuel Mileage Values?
•  The Fuel mileage value is displayed in the cluster as  AFE (Average Fuel Economy) in Kms/lit.
•  The AFE can be set to multiple modes.
•  Refer to Page 3-15 for the procedure for resetting AFE modes.
8.7 Ignition Switch (if equipped)
Graphic
An illuminator ring is provided on the face of the ignition switch to help in locating the ignition switch at night. The ring will illuminate the moment the driver door is opened and will remain glowing till the driver door is closed.
The different positions of the ignition switch are:
LOCK - This is the ignition and steering lock position. The vehicle circuits and engine is completely switched OFF. The steering wheel is also locked, and the key can be removed from the ignition only in this position.
ACC - The steering is unlocked and can be rotated. In this position, all electrical circuits are enabled. Use this mode when you want to listen to music, etc., with the engine temporarily switched OFF.
ON - All electrical circuits are enabled. Some of the warning or information lamps illuminate in this position. While some of the lamps will go out after a few seconds, some will continue to remain ON till the engine is started. When the vehicle is being driven, ignition switch remains in the ON position.
Do not leave the ignition in ON when the engine is OFF. This could lead to battery drain and ignition switch damage.
START - This position is to start the engine by cranking the starter motor. This is a momentary position. When the key is turned to start position, the starter cranks the engine. Once the engine is running, release the key, and the key reverts back to ON position and the starter motor disengages from the engine.
Do not continue cranking after the engine has started.
If turning the key is difficult, jiggle the steering wheel from side to side and try again.
The key can be removed only in the LOCK position. When the key is removed, the steering column lock is activated, and the steering wheel cannot be turned.
Never return the key to the LOCK position or try to remove the key when the vehicle is in motion. Removing the key allows the steering wheel to lock. You will lose the control of the vehicle and may cause serious accident. Remove the key only when the vehicle is parked.
8.8 Horn
Press the pad on the steering wheel to blow/sound the horn.
The horn functions even when the ignition has been switched OFF.
Graphic
Horn will get activated when horn switch/pad is pressed
It will get deactivated when horn switch/pad is released or after 10 sec of continuously pressing.
If Horn Switch Input is ON for more than 10 sec, Horn will get deactivate after 10 sec.
8.9 Manual Transmission
The first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat rough. This is a normal phenomenon, and precision shifts will develop with the initial few hundred kilometers of running.
8.9.1 Gear Lever
Graphic
Your vehicle is fitted with manual transmission having six forward and one reverse gear. This shift pattern is imprinted on the gear lever knob.
The transmission is fully synchronized in all forward gears, so shifting to either a higher or a lower gear is easily accomplished. The clutch pedal should be depressed fully while shifting, and then released slowly.
8.9.2 Gear Recommendation
Gear information shows the actual gear in which user has to drive the vehicle.
Based on the various parameters, it will suggest to change the gear for better fuel economy with up/down recommendation.
Display

Graphic
Graphic
Operating Condition
The numeral is the suggested gear. The Up or down arrow is to upshift or downshift. When no arrow, it indicates vehicle is in which gear.
8.9.3 Neutral Position
This position stops the transmission of power from the engine to drive axle. With the gear lever in neutral and brakes released, the vehicle can move freely by pushing or towing. The engine can be started in this mode. It is always recommended to keep the brake pedal depressed in this position. It is advisable to shift into neutral when the vehicle is standstill for longer durations with the engine idling.
Coasting the vehicle with the gear lever in neutral and engine ON/OFF is not recommended. In an event of panic braking, you will not have the power of engine braking to slow down the vehicle. This may lead to personal injury or accident.
Do not leave the vehicle with the gear lever in neutral position. Always engage manual parking brake before leaving the vehicle, to prevent any vehicle movement leading to possible injury to a bystander or damage to vehicle.
8.9.4 Gears 1-6
Use the gears 1 to 6 as per vehicle load, road/traffic conditions or as per requirement. The current gear selection is indicated in the cluster.
Always depress the clutch fully before moving the gear lever from the current position to any desired position. Perform up-shifts or down-shifts one gear at a time, do not jump gears.

Shift gears at suitable engine or road speeds to safeguard the transmission components. Avoid driving in high RPM’s frequently.
When parking on an incline, gear alone may not be sufficient to prevent the vehicle from moving. Always set the manual parking brake in addition to shifting the gear lever into gear. It is also recommended to turn the front wheels towards the road curb.
8.9.6 Reverse
Graphic
This gear is to enable the vehicle to move in the reverse direction. Move the gear lever into this position only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the gear lever is in neutral position.
The reverse lock ring located immediately below the gear shift knob must be pulled upward while moving the shift lever to the reverse (R) position.
To avoid transmission damage, shift into or out of reverse gear only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed. It is recommended you to wait approximately for three seconds in neutral gear to shifting into or out of reverse gear.
For brief stops, e.g. at traffic lights, keep the gear shift in neutral and hold the vehicle with the brake pedal. For prolonged stops, it is recommended to switch OFF the engine and apply the Parking brake. When stopping the vehicle on an uphill gradient, do not hold it with the clutch/accelerator; use the brake to avoid unnecessary clutch wear/heat build up.
Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Children could move the gear lever, which could result in an accident or serious injury.
On slippery/wet road surfaces, never downshift to obtain braking action. This could result in a wheel slip and reduced vehicle control.
8.9.7 Uphill and Downhill Driving
To prevent the engine from high stress at a low RPM when driving uphill gradients or with your vehicle heavily loaded, downshift when necessary to maintain engine RPM within the best torque range. Similarly, while driving downhill, downshift to utilize the engine braking in an optimum manner.
8.10 Automatic Transmission (AT)
8.10.1 Gear Selector Lever

8.10.2 P : Park Position
Graphic
Use this position to park your vehicle, warm up the engine, or stay in a location for an extended length of time.
To shift in to any other position, first depress the brake pedal, then press knob button and move the TGS to R or N or D as desired.
•  Stop the vehicle completely before shifting into “P”
•  Never shift to “P” when the vehicle is moving, To avoid damage to transmission
•  If the lever is shifted to P when the vehicle has not come to stop and in forward motion, then a ratchet noise will be heard. This is not abnormal. However we do not recommend moving to P till the vehicle has come to standstill . As repeated such instances can damage the internal parts
•  To shift from the “P” position to another position, the ignition switch must be turned to “ON” and the brake pedal should be depressed. Any forcible attempts to move the selector lever from “P” without the two procedures may damage the selector lever
8.10.3 R : Reverse position
Graphic
Use this position to drive the vehicle in reverse
To shift into “R” from “P” or “N” (with the knob button press), completely stop the vehicle and depress the brake pedal. When the shift lever is in “R”, parking aid system will be automatically activated.
•  Never shift into “R” when the vehicle is moving
•  Please note that the vehicle may slowly move backward when the selector lever is at “R”
8.10.4 N : Neutral position
Graphic
At this position, the engine does not transfer power to the wheels and the vehicle will not move on a flat road. However, for safety, apply the brake when the gear is in this position.
•  Warm up the engine for approximately 3 minutes when the ambient temperature is below -15°C. Otherwise, shifting of gears in Forward or Reverse direction may not be smooth
•  If you have to stop on a hill and would like to use this neutral position, depress the brake pedal firmly
•  Never attempt to move the gear selector lever to “N” when the vehicle is in motion
Depress the brake pedal while shifting the gear lever from “N” to “D” or “R” for your safety.
For shifting R to P, press the knob button and for shifting to N or D, only shift lever to moved. Refer the shift logic table for more clarity.
8.10.5 D : Drive position
Graphic
Use this position for normal driving conditions. The transmission is automatically shifted from 1st gear up to 6th gear according to the level of depression on the accelerator pedal
•  Do not abruptly drive off or sharply accelerate the vehicle immediately after shifting into “D” or the transmission will be damaged. Wait for D symbol to come in the cluster before pressing the accelerator pedal
•  Even while the gear is in “D”, the vehicle can roll down an uphill according to the gradients, so you have to depress the brake
•  Please note that the vehicle may creep forward on level ground when the selector lever is in “D” even without pressing the accelerator pedal and this behavior is known as forward creep
8.10.6 M : Manual Shift
Graphic
To shift to manual mode move the lever in left side from “D” position. Driving gear can be adjusted by operating the shift lever in front or back direction.
In manual shift mode, the user can upshift or downshift from 1 to 6 forward gears by moving the shift lever in front or back direction.
Shift up: Move the shift lever forward towards + direction and release once to shift up one gear.
Shift Down: Move the shift lever backwards towards - direction and release once to shift up one gear.
The gears can be shifted without requiring to release the Accelerator pedal.
In manual mode, downshifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. Similarly, upshifts are automatically made when the engine rpm exceeds the threshold.
When starting to drive on a snow or icy road, upshift of the gear to 2nd or 3rd is possible to avoid loss of traction.
For safety reason maximum three shifts “+” / ”-” can be allowed at given point of time.
•  Before leaving the Driver’s seat always make sure that the shift lever is in the P (park) position
•  Shifting into P position while the vehicle is in motion will cause the drive wheels to lock which will cause you to lose control of the vehicle
•  Always fully depress the brake pedal before and while shifting out of the Drive (D) position into another position (other than M Mode) to avoid inadvertent motion of the vehicle
•  The shift from D to M (Manual Mode) and M to D can be performed while the vehicle is moving
•  Never press accelerator pedal when moving the gear shifter lever
•  To maintain the required levels of vehicle performance and safety, the system may not execute certain gearshifts when the shift lever/ tip switch is operated
Use of Engine Brake: To use the engine as a brake, change into the manual gear shift mode first, then operate the shift lever to switch to next lower gear.
•  Abruptly downshifting and using the engine brake may make the vehicle unstable, especially when driving on roads covered with snow or ice
8.10.7 Gear Shift Interlock system
The Automatic Transmission has a shift lock system which prevents shifting the transmission from P into R unless the Brake Pedal is depressed
Graphic
Graphic
In case of malfunction of the shift lock system or vehicle battery got drained, Open up the shift lock cap which is present in front of the shift lever on the shift bezel. Then with the help of Screw driver available in toolkit, Press the button and move the shift lever out of P mode.
8.10.8 Starting and Driving Off
•  Always start the engine while the selector lever is in “P”. For your safety, avoid starting the engine from “N” even though you can do so.
•  Check whether or not the engine idling speed is normal. Keep the brake pedal depressed and shift into “D” or “R”.
•  To move the vehicle, release the brake pedal and depress the accelerator pedal gradually.
•  Do not abruptly drive off or sharply accelerate the engine after shifting into “D”. Otherwise the transmission will be damaged. Especially, when you start off after stopping, wait for a while until the “D” shift indicator comes on with the brake pedal depressed
•  When driving on a down hill, never shift the selector lever to “N” If you try to shift the lever to “D” from “N”, a sudden gear engagement can damage the drive train
•  HDC (Hill Descent Control) is designed for driving down a steep hill. When HDC is applied, do not shift to “N”. Otherwise, HDC will be deactivated
•  For your safety, always depress the brake pedal before moving the gear selector lever with the vehicle stopped
•  Never depress the accelerator pedal when moving the gear selector
•  If you have to stop on a hill, depress the brake pedal fully
•  To avoid any mechanical damages or accidents, never shift into “P” or “N” while the vehicle is in motion
•  A high engine speed can cause your vehicle to move abruptly from the parked position. To avoid this, wait until the engine rpm becomes stable
•  When you start off on a hill after stopping and parking the vehicle, wait for a while until the “D” shift indicator comes on, with the brake pedal depressed
•  Do not press the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal at the same time
•  We suggest that right leg only should be used for brake pedal operation
8.10.9 Creep Function
Without any actuation of the accelerator pedal, your vehicle will move slowly if the selector lever is in any position other than “P” or “N”. This is called the creep effect. You can control your vehicle’s movement by only applying the brake in heavy traffic or narrow areas.
On a steep decline or incline, your vehicle may move in the opposite direction of the intended direction despite the creep effect. When stopping on a steep hill, always depress the brake pedal
8.10.10 Kick-down Function
If you need to accelerate rapidly, depress the accelerator pedal to its travel end. Then, a lower gear will be automatically engaged. This is called the kickdown function.
•  Do not use the kick-down function while driving on slippery or sharply curved roads
•  If you use the kick-down function too frequently, the fuel economy of the vehicle will get worse
8.10.11 Engine Braking
When the accelerator pedal is released while the vehicle is in motion, the engine speed decreases.
On a down hill, engaging a lower gear can generate a higher engine braking and eventually slow down the vehicle speed.
By using engine behavior as a brake, you can decrease your vehicle speed without excessively using the brake system.
The lower gear, the higher braking force.
Do not excessively apply the brake pedal while going down a long slope. The brake system will overheat, experience vapor lock or the fade phenomenon, and lose the braking force
Be aware that the engine brake does not work when the gear selector lever is in the “N” position
Avoid any abrupt engine braking on slippery roads, or the tyres may slip
8.10.12 Limp Home Mode (LHM)
When there is a malfunction in the transmission, it goes into Limp Home Mode to maintain minimum driving conditions and also to prevent critical transmission damage.
This status is indicated by the transmission check lamp illumination in the instrument cluster.
Contact the nearest Mahindra Authorised Dealer for further assistance.
The transmission is held either in 3rd/ 5th gear when LHM is activated.
8.11 4XPLOR Mode (If equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a 4XPLOR Drive Mode System that allows the driver to enhance the off-road performance of the vehicle, by selecting the mode best suited to the terrain and driving conditions. Each mode changes a number of the vehicle parameters within the engine, transmission, traction control and Four-Wheel Drive systems

Graphic
Graphic
Use the 4WD selector switch on the floor console to select the following transfer modes.
4H: All four wheels are driven at 1:1 speed ratio. The four wheel drive telltale lamp illuminates when 4H mode is selected. This mode provides additional traction and maximum pulling power for loose, slippery road surfaces such as ice, snow, gravel, sand and dry pavement. Front and rear drive shafts are locked together in this mode which forces the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed.
4L: All four wheels are driven at 2.48:1 speed ratio. Use this mode for maximum pulling power and traction. Use 4L position for climbing or descending steep hills, off-road driving, hard pulling in sand, mud or deep snow. Front and rear drive shafts are locked together in this mode which forces the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. Pro-longed driving in the 4L position on dry hard surfaced roads may cause increased tire wear and damage to driveline components. Take care not to over rev the engine when driving in this mode. When operating your vehicle in 4L, the engine speed (RPM) is considerably higher than that of the 4H position at a given road speed.
4H or 4L mode shall not be used on rough tarmac road surface, especially during sharp turns to avoid gear box winding and damage the gear box.

To Shift from 2H to 4H
Graphic
Vehicle speed should be less than 80 kmph.
Press/Rotate the four wheel drive selector switch to the 4WH position.
Exceeding 25 mph (40 km/h) while the transfer case is engaged in 4L may result in an engine overspeed condition and engine damage
Because the four-wheel drive provides improved traction, there is a tendency to exceed safe turning and stopping speeds.
•  Do not believe than you can go faster than road conditions permit
•  Do not shift to a lower gear than necessary to maintain forward motion
•  Over-revving the engine can spin the wheels and traction will be lost. You will not be able to stop or control your vehicle
•  Braking performance is dramatically reduced in wet/icy/slippery conditions. Avoid abrupt downshifts on slippery roads, engine braking may cause skidding and loss of control resulting in an accident
•  Do not press the clutch while descending steep hills as you may lose control of the vehicle. Always descend in-gear
•  In heavy snow or when pulling a load, or for additional control at slower speeds, select a low gear and/or shift the transfer case to the 4L range.
8.12.2 Wheel Locking Hubs (Only for 4WD vehicles)
Automatic Locking Hubs
When you shift to 4WD mode, an audible ‘click’ will indicate that front axle disconnect are engaged and therefore power is being transmitted to the front wheels. While changing back to the 2WD mode, the hubs need to be released.
To release the locking hubs
•  Shift from 4WD to 2WD
•  Reverse the vehicle in a straight line for about a metre
•  An audible ‘click’ will indicate that the hubs have been released.
•  Unlocking is necessarily required to be done to isolate front axle and transfer case from transmission and from front wheels.
If auto lock hubs make a clattering noise when driving in 2H mode, stop and move the vehicle about 2 to 3 metres in backward direction.
When engaging and disengaging, the front axle disconnect will make a clicking noise. It is normal.
8.12.3 Mechanical Lock Differential (MLD)
On the vehicle fitted with MLD, if one rear wheel begins to spin/slip, the mechanical lock differential is designed to help/improve traction by automatically getting locked and transmitting driving force to the other rear wheel fully. Hence spinning of the wheel is avoided and torque is transmitted to the wheel which is not slipping, which helps the vehicle to move on loose terrain.
After locking the MLD lock opens up automatically on the followings:-
1. Torque reversal/coasting
2. Slight turning on the same side on which side the wheel was slipping
3. Slight steering input
4. Braking
5. The system gets de-activated over a speed of 30km/h
In normal driving condition the differential behaves as an open differential.
8.12.4 4WD Lamps - Instrument Cluster
4WD LOW Lamp
Graphic
This lamp alerts the driver that the vehicle is in the 4L (four wheel drive low mode). The 4WD LOW lamp illuminates in the cluster when the transfer case has shifted to the 4L mode. If the lamp fails to illuminate when the ignition is switched ON, or the lamp continuously remains ON even if the switch is not in the 4L position, then have the system checked by an Authorized Mahindra Dealer.
4WD HIGH Mode Lamp
Graphic
This lamp alerts the driver that the vehicle is in the 4H (four wheel drive high mode). The 4WD HIGH lamp illuminates in the cluster when the transfer case has shifted to the 4WD HIGH mode.

8.15 Fuel-BS VI
Graphic
Graphic
For Diesel: Use commercially available vehicular Ultra-low Sulfur Highway Diesel that meets the BIS standard (IS 1460; 2017 BS VI specification or equivalent). Information on diesel quality can normally be found in the fuel pump.
Please contact filling station personnel in case labels in the pump cannot be found. If the diesel fuel with high sulfur content (more than 10 PPM) and unspecified additives are used, it can cause the DPF system damage and emission warranty issues.
For Petrol: Use only commercially available Petrol fuel conforming to Indian Standard (IS 2796: 2017 BS-VI specification or equivalent). Information on Petrol quality can normally be found in the fuel pump. Please contact filling station personnel in case labels in the pump cannot be found.
Stop refueling after the nozzle automatically shuts off the second time when refueling. Overfilling will lead’s to expansion space in the fuel tank and fuel system damage.
Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel spillage in the event of an accident
Do not fill the fuel tank or mix the fuel with alcohol based fuels, kerosene, etc. This will damage the engine, fuel and exhaust system components.
If you have accidentally filled the fuel tank with incorrect or non- approved fuel, do not start the vehicle. Contact an Authorized Mahindra Dealer to have the fuel system drained completely.
8.15.1 Fuelling during Winter
During freezing weather, if fuel is not winterised or is insufficiently winterised, waxing/gelling may start in fuel, leading to interruption in fuel supply to engine. For smooth functioning and reliable operation of the engine during cold weather conditions, use winterised ULSD which are available at the filling stations during winter months. Check with your fuel retailer for further details.
Avoid inhaling fuel vapours and any skin or clothing contact. Direct skin contact with diesel /Petrol or the inhalation of fuel vapour may affect your health.
Diesel/Petrol is highly flammable and poisonous. It burns violently and can cause serious injury. Never allow sparks, flames or smoking materials near diesel/Petrol. Turn OFF the engine before refuelling. Whenever you are around diesel/Petrol, extinguish all smoking materials.
8.15.2 Minimum Fuel Requirement
It is recommended maintaining a minimum of 10 litres of fuel in the fuel tank. Driving the vehicle till the fuel tank is empty is not recommended. Always have sufficient fuel in the tank. Check the fuel level prior to starting your journey.
Never carry fuel in separate containers in the vehicle, it is dangerous and may lead to inadvertent fuel leak or spillage.
8.16 Brakes
Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes in the front and rear wheels.
Disc brakes offer good braking capability and reduced stopping distance. Wet brake discs result in reduced braking efficiency. After a car wash or driving the vehicle through water, apply and release brake pedal mildly while driving to remove the film of water from the brake disc.
Front & Rear brake pad : The Front & Rear brake pads are equipped with Mechanical Pad Wear Sensors, thus when the brake pads are worn out, there will be a metallic rubbing noise from the brake pads. Replace the brake pads immediately
Even if the power assist (vacuum assistance) is completely lost, the brakes will still work. The brake pedal would be much harder than normal and the vehicle stopping / braking distance will be longer than usual
In some driving and climatic conditions may cause a brake squeal when applying first time or lightly applying the brake. Squeal noise may be produced when the vehicle is out of operation for a long time or friction faces get rusted after raining. As long as squeals are produced at a lower frequently there is no need for any special attention.
Attention: If brake squeal is excessive and occurs on every brake application, then brakes needs to be checked at your dealership.
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous. Stopping distance increases considerably while braking
8.16.1 Parking on a Hill/Incline
If you have to park the vehicle with front side facing the uphill, select first gear for MT vehicle & park position for AT vehicles and also turn the front wheels away from the kerb.
If you have to park the vehicle with front side facing downhill, select reverse gear and turn the front wheels towards the kerb.
Always ensure that the vehicle is in gear and parking brakes is engaged before leaving the vehicle.
Graphic
When parking on an uphill, turn the front wheels away from the Kerb/Pavement
Graphic
When parking on a downhill, turn the front wheels towards the Kerb/Pavement.
8.16.2 Parking Brake
Graphic
To apply the parking brake, pull the park brake lever up as firmly as possible. When the parking brake is applied with the ignition ON, the parking brake warning lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates.
To release the parking brake, pull the parking brake lever up slightly, press the release button on the lever tip and lower the parking brake lever completely.
The parking brake warning lamp indicates only the parking brake status. It does not indicate the degree of brake application. Be sure the parking brake is firmly set when parked and the gear shift lever is in gear. When parking on a hill; first apply the parking brake; after that shift the TGS lever to the P position (for AT) and gear for MT. This will avoid the load on the transmission, locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of gear.
Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving off. Failure to do so can lead to brake problems due to excessive heating of the rear brakes. It will also result in reduced fuel efficiency lowered brake pad life and rear brake squeal
•  Engaging the parking brake while the vehicle is in motion can cause the rear wheels to lock up. You could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident
•  Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle, and be certain to leave the transmission in gear. Failure to do so may allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage, hit a bystander resulting in personal injury
•  Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake or the gear shift lever. Do not leave the key in the ignition. A child could move the vehicle leading to accidents
•  The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle
8.17 Hazard on Panic Braking
Hazard lamps are turned ON during panic braking for 5 seconds when the following conditions are met:
•  Ignition is ON
•  Vehicle speed is greater than 50 kmph
•  Panic/sudden brake is applied and high deceleration rate is sensed
8.18 Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
The Anti-lock Brake System (also called as ABS) is designed to help prevent lock-up of the wheels and stable stopping of vehicle during a sudden, panic emergency braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. The ABS system takes input from wheel speed sensors and brake pedal switch to control the brake fluid pressures at the wheels to avoid wheel lock-up. It allows vehicle to be steered during braking.
The minimum speed for ABS to function is 12 kmph. ABS is activated only during wheel lock conditions where ABS takes over and prevents wheel lock.
During the ABS operation, a slight pulsation may be felt in the brake pedal to indicate ABS is active. You may also hear motor noise from the engine compartment. It is recommended to hold the brake pedal firmly while the ABS is active rather than pumping the brake pedal.
Depressing the brake pedal on slippery road surfaces as on a manhole cover, a steel plate at a construction site, a joint in a bridge, etc. on a rainy day, tends to activate the anti-lock brake system.
Graphic
The ABS warning lamp lights up when you switch ON the ignition and should go out after a few seconds. If the ABS warning lamp does not go out or if it comes ON while driving, it means there is a fault in the ABS system. In both cases, the normal braking system remains efficient, exactly as on a vehicle without ABS. The vehicle should be examined as soon as possible by an Mahindra Authorised Dealer.
The ABS is not designed to shorten the stopping distance: Always drive at a moderate speed and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. The stopping distance may be longer in the following cases:
•  Driving on rough, gravel or snow-covered roads
•  Driving with tyre chains installed
•  Driving over the steps such as the joints on the road
•  Driving on roads where the road surface is potholes or large differences in surface height
Do not overestimate the Anti-lock Brake System: Although the Anti-lock Brake System assists in providing vehicle control, it is still important to drive with all due care and maintain a moderate speed and safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. There are limits to the vehicle stability and effectiveness of steering wheel operation even with ABS active.
If tyre grip performance exceeds its capability, or if hydroplaning occurs during high speed driving in the rain, the Anti-lock Brake System will not be able to completely avoid wheel lock-up
8.19 Electric Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
EBD is a subsystem of the ABS system, It prevents least loaded wheel from locking on application of brakes, thus allows the wheel to maintain tractive contact with the road surface. The system monitors the wheel speed and when it identifies any slip, the pressure in the wheel cylinders is dumped thus preventing the wheels from locking.
A fault with EBD is indicated by illumination of the parking brake as well as ABS warning lamps. The vehicle should be examined as soon as possible by an Mahindra Authorised Dealer.
8.20 Electronic Stability Program (ESP) (if equipped)
This system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. The ESP corrects for over-steering and under-steering behavior of the vehicle by applying the brake on the appropriate wheel automatically.
ESP uses inbuilt sensors to determine the path that the driver intends to steer the vehicle , compares it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the actual path does not match the intended path, the ESP applies the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the condition of over-steer or under-steer.
Graphic
Over-steer - When the vehicle is turning more than appropriate for the steering wheel position.
Under-steer - When the vehicle is turning less than appropriate for the steering wheel position.
The ESP cannot overrule the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction due to the prevailing road conditions. The ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and skilful driver can prevent accidents. The capabilities of an ESP-equipped vehicle can not compensate for reckless or dangerous driving that could endanger the user’s safety or the safety of others on road or passerby.
8.20.1 ESP ON
Graphic
Whenever the vehicle is started, the ESP system will be in active mode. This mode should be used for most driving conditions.
When the ESP is in operation, ESP indicator lamp will blink in the instrument cluster.
When the ESP is operating, you can feel a slight pulsation in the brake pedal. This is normal and indicates that braking had gone to ABS zone. Suggest that the driver should slow down the speed are not matching the road surface.
When moving out of the mud or slippery road, accelerator response may be different because ESP system controls the engine RPM to come out of this slippery road condition. This is normal.
8.20.2 ESP OFF
Graphic
In some driving conditions, to maximize traction, it may be beneficial to de-activate ESP.
Such conditions are:
•  To start in deep snow or on a loose surface
•  Driving in deep sand
•  Driving through deep mud etc.
Graphic
To de-activate ESP, press ESP OFF button on the driver control switch bank. Once ESP OFF mode is selected, a warning indicator illuminates in the instrument cluster.
Press ESP OFF button again to activate ESP function.
For safety reasons, ESP will be automatically re-activated once the vehicle speed crosses 64 kmph
Mahindra recommends that ESP be operational in all normal driving conditions.
When ESP is in OFF mode, other functions like HHC (Hill Hold Control), HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist), HDC (Hill Descent Control), DTC (Drag Torque Control), ROM (Roll Over Mitigation) will be available
ESP, by default, will be in ON condition for every ignition cycle.
Graphic
If the ESP indicator blinks while driving, it indicates that ESP is working. However If this lamp is blinking continuously or remains ON, it indicates a malfunction in the ESP system. Drive carefully to the nearest Mahindra Authorised Dealer and get the ESP system checked.
8.21 Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)
The HBA function is designed to optimize the vehicles braking ability during emergency braking situations, the system detects a panic braking situation by sensing the rate and amount of brake application and generates an additional brake-force boost to the driver if required.
During a panic braking situation, the brake pressure is raised to the locking pressure. For the HBA to become active, the brake Pedal must be pressed throughout the braking maneuver, that is the brakes must not be pumped and released.
The HBA function gets deactivated, when the brake pedal is released thus do not release brake pressure unless braking is no longer needed
•  The HBA system cannot prevent collisions, the capabilities of an HBA equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner that could risk the user’s safety.
•  The Safety of the vehicles always lies in the hands of the driver, never rely on the HBA feature to prevent accidents.
8.22 Hill Descent Control (HDC) (if equipped)
Graphic
This System assists the driver to descend a steep slope by means of brake intervention limiting the vehicle speed without driver's input on brakes. This does not replace cruise control
During HDC, if the wheel slip becomes excessive, ABS will be activated automatically.
HDC is a user-intended function. To activate, press HDC button on the driver control switch bank. The LED on the button illuminates indicating the status. Press the button again to deactivate HDC.
The HDC feature can control the vehicle speed from 9 kmph to 35 kmph, Above 35 kmph the HDC feature will go to ready mode. The HDC feature will be deactivated automatically if vehicle speed is more than 60 kmph. (For Activating the HDC feature again, the driver needs to press the HDC button once again within the specified speed limits)
The HDC should be enabled only on steep gradient. It is not recommended to be ON in plain road- to avoid accidental intervention
While HDC is controlling the vehicle speed, descent speeds can be varied by cruise buttons, accelerator pedal & brake pedal.
To Set the desired descending speed, follow the steps listed below:
•  SET Speed — This is the driver desired speed at which vehicle should descent. This can be set using HDC switch or brake/accelerator pedals.(example: when the driver activates HDC at a speed of 30 kmph, then set speed will be 30 kmph). HDC will limit vehicle descent speed to set value).
•  If driver presses the accelerator pedal and increases the speed from 30 kmph to 34 kmph and then releases the accelerator pedal. Now the new SET speed will be 34 kmph
•  Similarly, if the driver applies brake and reduces the speed from 30 kmph to 10 kmph and then releases the brake pedal, now the new SET speed will be 10 kmph
•  If the vehicle cruise speed is with in the HDC active region, similarly the set speed can be modified using cruise +/- buttons (by tapping the “SET —” or “SET +” buttons. Each press of the button will adjust the speed by approximately 0.5 kmph)
The descent speed increases only if the gradient is sufficiently steep to cause the vehicle to accelerate as the braking effect is reduced. On a shallow slope, pressing the “SET +” button may result in no speed increase.
8.23 Hill Hold Control (HHC) (if equipped)
Imagine a situation where your vehicle is stopped on an uphill incline. If you release the brake while moving off, there are chances that your vehicle may roll back. HHC helps in such situations by holding the vehicle from rolling back.
Hill Hold Control function uses the inbuilt acceleration sensor to identify the gradient and holds the vehicle for 2 seconds in MT and 1 seconds in AT vehicles after the brake pedals are released. If the driver does not apply the throttle before this time expires, the system will release brake pressure and the vehicle will roll down the hill as normal
The Following conditions must be met in order for the HHC to activate:
1. The Vehicle must be equipped with HHC
2. The vehicle must be on sufficient gradient
3. The Parking brake must not be applied
4. Engine must be running
The HHC will function on both vehicle facing Up hill and vehicle facing downhill, provided the correct gears are selected.
•  Vehicle Facing Uphill – Gear should be in Forward
•  Vehicle Facing Downhill – Gear should be in Reverse
For Manual Transmission only, Neutral will be considered as Forward Gear.
•  In some situations, when the conditions are not met, the HHC may not get activated. In such cases slight rolling may occur.
•  The Safety of the vehicles always lies in the hands of the driver, never rely on the HHC system to prevent rolling.
8.24 Roll Over Mitigation (ROM)
Roll Over Mitigation system is a safety function which anticipates the wheel lift due to lateral forces. The ROM function analyses the rate of change of steering wheel angle and the wheel speed to determine any possible wheel lift, the system then applies appropriate brake and may also reduce the engine power to reduce the chances of wheel lift.
In any instance where physical limits of Long. and lateral tyre road grip are not exceeded, RMF reduces the lateral forces that will lead to a critical roll moment about the center of gravity.
Minimum Vehicle speed for ROM = 25 kmph
Maximum Vehicle speed for ROM = 120 kmph
•  Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road conditions and driving conditions, influence the chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur.
•  The ROM system cannot prevent all roll overs; thus ROM equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user's safety or the safety of others.
8.25 Brake Disc Wiping
When a vehicle is driven in a wet condition; the accumulated wetness on the brake disks leads to an elongated brake response time.
The BDW function actuates the brakes with a low pressure, such that; the brake pads comes in contact with the rotating brake disks, creating a wiping action; thereby removing the moisture from the brake disks.
For the Brake Disc Wiping function to get activated, the following conditions must be met.
1. Vehicle speed above 70kmph.
2. Accelerator Pedal must be pressed.
3. The Wipers must be in ON condition (Low/High Speed)
The Pressure generated in the BDW function is very small and this is not felt by the driver during normal driving conditions.
•  The system will not be able to sense water splashed on disc from situations such as water wash or water puddles.
•  It is suggested that the driver dry the brakes in the above said conditions by driving at very slow speed and applying the brakes lightly until the brake performance becomes normal.
8.26 Electric Brake Prefill - EBP
EBP is a value-added feature in ESP, the target of the function is to reduce the air gap of the wheel brake by putting low brake pressure to the brake pads such that the brake pads come in close proximity to the brake disc.
The system detects an emergency braking by monitoring the rate of release of the acceleration pedal. A sudden release of accelerator pedal signifies an upcoming sudden braking.
By actively pre-filling the brake-system, the brake response time is reduced for an upcoming braking and full vehicle deceleration is achieved earlier. This results in a shorter stopping distance.
8.27 Driver Drowsiness Detection System (DDD)
The Driver Drowsiness Detection system advises the driver to take a break from continuous long duration driving when driver fatigue can be detected based on the driver's steering behavior. The system evaluates the steering behavior at speeds of 60-200 km/h.
Conditions under which a break from driving is detected by the system are as follows.
•  The vehicle is stopped and the ignition switched off.
•  The vehicle is stopped, the seat belt removed, and the driver's door opened.
•  The vehicle is stopped for more than 30 minutes.
If none of these conditions are met or if the driving style is not changed, the system recommends a driving break again after 15 minutes.
The Drowsiness alert should be enabled in the driver assistance screen.
Pause Recommendation
Graphic
This alert comes in the display of instrument cluster when the system detects the driver is quiet sleepy or very sleepy, along with audible signal.
•  When the vehicle is driven continuously for more than 2 hours and if the system detects driver as “Quite Sleepy”, an alert message along with audio signal appears in the instrument cluster. Cluster will display the alert message till the user presses the “OK” button from steering wheel switch.
•  After pressing the OK button, if break is not detected by the system for next 15 minutes, alert message will repeat again. If the drowsiness is continuously sensed and if the system detects driver as “Very Sleepy”, next level alert message & audio signal will be triggered along with steering wheel haptic feedback.
Driver Attention Level: The Driver attention level is calculated based on driving behavior and many external parameters and the attention level is displayed to the driver in the Drive Info Tab

•  The driving ability is always the driver's responsibility. Never drive if you feel tired.
•  The system may not detect all cases where a break is needed.
•  Therefore, take regular, sufficient breaks during long trips.
•  There will be no system warning during the so-called micro-sleep.
•  In some situations, the system can evaluate the steering behavior incorrectly and therefore falsely display a break recommendation.
•  The system is designed primarily for use on highways.

9.1.4 Tyre Label (Vehicle Placard)
Graphic
Tyre Label (Vehicle Placard) is located on the driver side inner B-pillar.
this placard tells you important information about tyre size designed for your vehicle, and the tyre inflation pressures for the front & rear tyres.
Graphic
Never overload your vehicle. Overloading can cause tyre failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance, resulting in an accident and/or serious personal injury.
Improper inflated tyres can adversely affect vehicle handling or can fail unexpectedly, resulting in an accident and/or serious personal injury.
  Regular Tyre SpareTyre
Dynamic Rolling radius (mm)

9.1.5 Tyre Pressure
Proper Tyre inflation pressure is essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. Three primary areas are affected by improper Tyre pressure:
•  Safety
•  Economy
•  Ride Comfort and Vehicle Stability
Proper Tyre inflation contributes to a comfortable and safe ride. Over-inflation produces a jarring and uncomfortable ride. Both under-inflation and over-inflation affect the stability of the vehicle and can produce a feeling of sluggish response or over responsiveness in the steering. Unequal Tyre pressures can cause erratic and unpredictable steering response or may cause the vehicle to drift left or right.
Improper inflation pressures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the Tyre tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tread life resulting in a need for earlier Tyre replacement. Under inflation also increases Tyre rolling resistance and results in higher fuel consumption.
The proper cold Tyre inflation pressure is listed in the Tyre Label (Vehicle Placard), located on the front passenger side inner B-pillar.

In the snow or mud or sand. The default 4H will be ON. However if the vehicle gets badly stuck and not able to come out then 4L can be used to come out of the tricky situation and shift to 4H as soon as possible.
Similarly when the tyre pressure is reduced to drive in Sand. As soon as the sand is over fill tyre pressure. If pump not available , drive with reduced speeds to the nearest tyre shop/ fuel bunk.
9.1.7 Inspection and Adjustment Procedure
The Tyre pressure should be checked and adjusted, as well as inspected for signs of Tyre wear or visible damage, at least once a month. Use a good quality pressure gauge to check Tyre pressure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation. Radial Tyres may look properly inflated even when they are underinflated. At the same time, each Tyre should be inspected for signs of Tyre wear or visible damage.
Inflation pressures specified on the placard are always cold Tyre inflation pressures. Cold Tyre inflation pressure is defined as the Tyre pressure after the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours, or driven less than 1 km after a three-hour period. Check Tyre pressures more often if subject to a wide range of outdoor temperatures, as Tyre pressures vary with temperature changes. Tyre pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 7°C of air temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking Tyre pressure inside a garage, especially in the winter.
When it was new, the spare Tyre in your vehicle was fully inflated. However, a spare Tyre can lose pressure over time. In order to avoid being stranded, check the spare Tyre air pressure frequently.
9.1.8 Inflating Your Tyres
Safe operation of your vehicle requires that your Tyres are properly inflated. Remember that a Tyre can lose up to half of its air pressure without appearing flat.
At least once a month or before long trips, inspect each Tyre and check the Tyre pressure with a Tyre gauge (including spare Tyre). Inflate all Tyres to the recommended inflation pressure.
Under-inflation is the most common cause of Tyre failures and may result in severe Tyre cracking, tread separation or “blowout”, with unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury. Under-inflation increases sidewall flexing and rolling resistance, resulting in heat buildup and internal damage to the Tyre. It also may result in unnecessary Tyre stress, irregular wear, loss of vehicle control and accidents.
•  Over or under inflation may reduce the tyre life
•  Do not correct the tyre pressure immediately after the vehicle is stopped after operation, server handling or long distance drive. Check the inflation pressure when the vehicle is idle for 3 hours or 10 minutes of driving after 3 hours in idle condition
•  Do not drive the vehicle with lower pressure than recommended, which may lead to over heating of sidewall resulting in tyre damage
•  Check the tyre pressures once in a month or before long distance travels
•  Check your tyres regularly for any damages or cut on the sidewall. Please replace the tyres immediately.
Always inflate your Tyres to the recommended pressure even if it is less than the maximum inflation pressure information found on the Tyre. The recommended Tyre inflation pressure is found on the Tyre Label which is located on the front passenger side inner B-pillar. Failure to follow the Tyre pressure recommendations can cause uneven tread wear patterns and adversely affect the way your vehicle handles.
If you overfill the Tyre, release air by pushing the metal stem in the centre of the valve. Then recheck the pressure.
After inspecting or adjusting the Tyre pressure, always reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped). This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the stem, resulting in an unexpected loss of Tyre pressure, an accident and/or personal injury.
9.1.9 Radial Ply Tyres
Combining radial ply Tyres with other types of Tyres on your vehicle will cause your vehicle to handle poorly, resulting in an accident and/or personal injury. Always use radial Tyres in sets of four. Never combine them with other types of Tyres.
Cuts and punctures in radial Tyres are repairable only in the tread area because of sidewall flexing. Consult your Mahindra Authorised Dealer for radial Tyre repairs.
9.1.10 Tread Wear Assessment
Tyre wear can be assessed by looking the tyre wear indicator (TWI). The TWI will appear as a band across the tyre tread when the tyre wears out to the minimum allowed tread depth of 1.6 mm
Tyre Wear Indicator (TWI)
Graphic
A mark of triangle in the Tyre side wall indicates the position of the Tyre wear indicators at 6 to 8 locations around the circumference of the tyre.
The TWI appear as raised portions inside the tread in a new or partially worn tyre (A).
As the tyre wears out to its minimum allowable tread depth, the TWI will appear as a band across the tyre tread (B).
The tyre should be replaced at this stage or before this stage.
New Tread (A)
Worn Tread (B)
Graphic
Graphic
It is extremely dangerous to drive with worn out tyres on wet roads/rainy seasons. The vehicle can skid and aquaplane on wet surfaces, if the tyre tread depth is insufficient.
Replace the tyre before the tyre tread depth reached the minimum acceptable limit.
9.1.11 Life of Tyre
The service life of a Tyre is dependent upon various factors including but not limited to:
. Driving style 00 . Tyre pressure 00. Distance driven
Tyres and the spare Tyre should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden and unexpected Tyre failure, leading to an accident and/or personal injury.
Do not use a Tyre, wheel size or speed rating other than that specified for your vehicle on the Tyre placard. Combinations of unapproved Tyres and wheels may change suspension geometric and performance characteristics, resulting in changes to steering, handling and braking of your vehicle. This can cause unpredictable handling, stress to steering and suspension components. You could lose control of the vehicle or the Tyre can unexpectedly fail, resulting in an accident and/or personal injury.
Keep dismounted Tyres in a cool, dry place with as little exposure to light as possible. Protect Tyres from contact with oil, grease and fuels.
Replacing original Tyres with Tyres of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer readings.
9.1.12 Snow Chains
Snow chains cannot be used on these Tyres.
In case of harsh winter driving conditions, it is recommended using winter Tyres with the same specifications for better stability, safety and performance.
9.1.13 Tyre Rotation Recommendations
Type 1 - Applicable for RWD & 4WD Vehicles - 5 Steel Wheels
Graphic
Tyres on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at different loads and perform different steering, handling, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates and develop irregular wear patterns.
Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow, and wet traction levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride. Follow the recommended tyre rotation frequency for your type of driving.
Type 2 – Applicable for RWD & 4WD Vehicles - 4 Alloy Wheels
It is recommended rotating the tyres as per the “Maintenance Schedule”.
The suggested rotation method is the “forward-cross” shown in the diagram. The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with aggressive tread designs such as those on On/Off-road type tyres.
Graphic
Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow, and wet traction levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride. Follow the recommended tyre rotation frequency for your type of driving.
More frequent rotation is permissible if desired. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to rotation being performed.
9.1.14 Non-Standard Spare Wheel
Graphic
The Non - standard spare wheel provided on your vehicle is for temporary purpose only. Do not use the spare wheel for continuous running.
When Using the Non-Standard Spare Wheel
•  Non - Standard Spare wheel provided specifically designed for your vehicle. Do not use your non standard spare tyre on another vehicle.
•  Do not use more than one non-standard Spare Wheel simultaneously.
•  Drive the shortest possible distance with Non-standard Spare Wheel.
•  While using Non standard spare wheel reduce speed, Avoid sharp cornering, Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting operations that cause sudden engine braking.
When Non-Standard Spare Wheel is attached
The vehicle speed may not be correctly detected, and the following systems may not operate correctly:
ABS, Cruise control (If equipped), EPS, Rear View monitor system (If equipped), Navigation system (If equipped)
Speed Limit when using Non-Standard Spare tyre
Do not drive at speeds in excess of 80 km/h when a Non-standard Spare Wheel is installed on the vehicle.
The Non-Standard Spare Wheel is not designed for driving at high speeds. Failure to observe this precaution may lead to an accident causing death or serious injury.
•  The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the Non Standard Spare tyre compared to when driving with standard tyres. Be careful when driving over uneven road surfaces.
•  Inflate the tyres as per manufacturers recommendation, refer Tyre pressure label on the door panel
•  TPMS is not provided in spare wheel
•  Do not fit tyre chains to the spare tyre.
Tyre chains may damage the vehicle body and adversely affect driving performance.
•  Tyre to be loaded within the max allowable load limit specified by the load rating index marked on the tyre.
•  Tyre to be operated with in the speed limit specified by the speed rating index marked on the tyre
•  Do not use the tyre for longer distance than recommended. Repair & refit the regular tyre as soon as possible.
•  Recommended to drive Max 50 km in a stretch or reach nearest Mahindra Authorised Dealer
•  Refer the Feature Matrix for the spare wheel size
9.1.15 Changing a Flat Tyre
Refer to “Changing a Flat Tyre” section in the Emergencies chapter for details.
9.1.16 Wheel Tightness
When you change a wheel, remove all rust and dirt at all locations where the wheel contacts the wheel hub. Use a scraper or wire brush to be sure that you remove all rust and dirt. A loose wheel could have damaged or elongated the holes in the rim, or damaged the rim/hub assembly. If any of the wheel nuts are damaged, contact the nearest Mahindra Authorised Dealer.
Always tighten the nuts in a criss-cross sequence. Never use oil or grease on your wheel nuts.
Never overtighten the nuts on the wheel stud. You could damage the wheel stud or the nut.
Torque tighten the wheel nuts to the specified value at the nearest Authorised Mahindra Workshop.
The tyres fitted in this vehicle meet the requirements of BIS and they comply with the requirements under the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR) 1989.
9.2 Tiretronics (if equipped)
The tiretronics system checks the pressure and temperature of the air inside the pneumatic tyres of the vehicle. System alerts the driver during driving if any of the tyre parameters are not in acceptable limits due to any reason.
The system will continue to alert until the warning condition is resolved to the actual placard values.
Appropriate tyre pressure and tyre temperature is required for;
•  Adequate braking
•  Road grip
•  Vehicle handling
•  Vehicle maneuvering
•  Reduced tyre wear and tear
•  Reduced tyre strain and safety
•  Good fuel efficiency
The instrument cluster displays all alerts & visual warnings related to Tiretronics system.
Graphic
Graphic
9.2.1 Operation of Tiretronics
Tiretronics uses wireless sensor technology that is mounted on the wheel rim to checks the tyre pressure levels. They transmit the data to the receiver inside the vehicle which is in turn is communicated and displayed on the instrument cluster.
In the instrument cluster screen all the tyre locations will display the status as pressure and temperature. Spare tyre (if TPMS sensor equipped) information on tiretronics screen shall be available only during any alerts and warning in the spare tyre. (User Shall verify spare tyre pressure manually, In certain conditions system may not update pressure for Spare tyre correctly)
The Tiretronics has been customized only for the manufacturer’s genuine tyres and wheels. Tiretronics pressure limits and warning messages have been established and calibrated for the tyre size equipped on your vehicle. Replacement of manufacturer’s parts with a different size, type or style of components may damage the sensor and lead to incorrect readings.
Do not use aftermarket tyre sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with Tiretronics. Failure to comply may lead to sensor damage.
The Tiretronics is not intended to replace normal tyre care and maintenance or to warn of any tyre failure condition. The system should not be used as a replacement for a pressure measuring gauge to adjust the vehicle tyre pressure.
Driving with under-inflated tyres cause the tyres to overheat and may lead to tyre failure. Under-inflated tyres reduce fuel efficiency, tyre tread life and may affect the vehicle's maneuverability and braking ability.
It is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure using an accurate pressure gauge, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the Tiretronics warning indicator.
9.2.2 Tiretronics Warning Lamp

9.2.6 Tiretronics Manual Learning
After tyre rotation or Tiretronics sensor replacement, the receiver must be learnt, else the Tiretronics warning lamp will be ON, indicating malfunction.
Mandate Points: Manual learning is the process by which the identities of 4 sensors installed inside the tyres are learnt and programmed in to the memory of the receiver module.
1. Manual learning should be compulsorily performed on any of the following conditions or operations done
•  Any sensors replaced.
•  Any of the tyres are replaced
•  If any of the tyres or set of tyres are shuffled or swapped in position
•  If tyre rotation operation is performed
•  If it is observed that the alert indications in the tiretronics screen are not co-relating with respect to their actual position in the vehicle
2. Once manual learning is initiated, the sensors inside the tyres need to be triggered by leaking the air from each tyre one at a time and should be completed within certain value post to each event for learning all 4 tyres
3. Do not perform Manual learning process at the same time on two vehicles with in the radius of 20 meters
4. It is mandatory that manual learning of tyres should follow the sequence of ‘front left tyre position, front right tyre, rear right tyre and rear left tyre.
5. It is required to ensure the tyres have pressure > 32psi and < 36psi before initiating the manual learning process
6. Post manual learning, all tyres should be filled to the placard pressure value
It is mandatory that manual learning of tyres should follow the sequence of ‘front left tyre position, front right tyre, rear right tyre and rear left tyre.
Initiating the Manual Learning Process
Graphic
1. Press & Hold the enter button in UP position.
2. Turn the ignition key on

Limitations
•  The Tiretronics monitors only tyre pressure and temperature. It does not monitor conditions such as tyre wear
•  The Tiretronics will not be able to detect an instant tyre burst and inform the driver in advance
•  There may be the possibility of getting all the tyre location indicators on the Tiretronics display blinking along with the Tiretronics telltale, on passing environment area prone to heavy power lines and RF signal. It will come back to normal condition when interference gets cleared
9.2.7 Tiretronics — Points to Remember
•  It is recommended to fill the pressure to 34 psi at a digital gauge station only
•  Every 15 days, inflate all the tyres up to 34 psi and inflation should be done at cold condition/ambient temperature
•  Pressure deviation between the Tiretronics display and gauge will depend upon the following factors:
–  Atmospheric pressure
–  Error in pressure filling gauge (not calibrated)
–  Air leakage during inflation/deflation
•  Tiretronics measures pressure of the tyre
•  Pressure deviation is defined for 0.5 psi (min) and 3 psi (max)
•  If the vehicle battery/fuse is disconnected and reconnected, it will update the pressure after the vehicle is driven or sensor is activated
•  If the vehicle tyres are rotated or any of the tyres sensors are replaced, then tires have to be learned via either manual or auto learning. Refer Tyre Auto/Manual learn process in Tiretronics section for more details
•  If more than one tyre needs to be learned, learn all 4 tyres as per manual learning procedure
•  Tiretronics is only a warning or indicating device. Pressure and temperature values displayed by the system is for indication prior to alert purposes only. The Tiretronics system should not be used as a measuring device to correlate or calibrate against other systems
•  During winter or in cold conditions, there may be chances of getting a pressure alert with the corresponding tyre location indicator in the display, if the tyre pressure is near the thresholds level. i.e. between 28 psi to 24 psi. However, this alert will get cleared after driving a few kilometers depending upon the climatic condition

If the vehicle was previously halted for more than 45 min & is driven less than 15 min before filling the air then the tyres shall be filled to the respective playcard as per the ambient temperature else to the next playcard value.
Example: If a vehicle was halted at a ambient of 30 deg c for 50 min and driven to a air filling station within 5 min then respective play card value will be 32.0 PSI for front & rear. Else 33.5 PSI
9.3 Front/Rear Obstacle Detection System (if equipped)
Graphic
9.4 Parking Assistance System (PAS) – RPAS & FPAS (If equipped)
Parking assistance system is provided to aid the driver while parking the vehicle in reverse and in front. While Parking, PAS will detect the obstacles at the rear and front side of the vehicle within the sensing zone, which cannot be viewed through the internal rear-view mirror and the outside rear view mirrors and windshield. The PAS will then alert the driver by a beep sound and display about the location of the detected obstacle from the vehicle. The alert sound level will vary proportional to the distance. Smaller the distance shorter the interval between the beeps.
9.4.1 Parking Assistance System Sensors
Front Sensor Location
Rear Sensor Location
Graphic
Graphic
RPAS sensors are located in the rear bumper and FPAS sensors are located in front Bumper to assist driver for hassle free parking
RPAS and FPAS will give proper alerts at vehicle speed less than 8kmph.
Always keep the sensors clean and free from ice formation, dust, water etc. for proper working of the system.
Do not press or shock the sensors by hitting or using a high-pressure water gun while washing. The sensors could be damaged.
Magnetic devices present in the detection range could vastly affect the sensor performance and the distance displayed may not be accurate.
9.4.2 Driving and Operation
•  PAS is an aiding system. Under no circumstances mahindra will accept any responsibility or can be held liable for any direct or indirect, incidental or consequential damage caused by this system
•  System will not sense pot holes, trenches or drainages which are below the ground level
•  Repainting of the sensor will affect the performance of the system
9.4.3 Activation & De-activation of PAS
•  The Vehicle should be in IGN ON state to activate the Parking assistance system
•  RPAS will be activated automatically when reverse gear engaged
•  RPAS will get deactivated when reverse gear is disengaged
•  FPAS will be activated automatically when Vehicle speed is in between 1 to 8 kmph and hand brake is dis engaged or clutch is pressed, Hand brake is disengaged and vehicle is standstill or reverse gear is engaged
•  In case of AT variant FPAS will be activated automatically when the vehicle is in D gear and hand brake is disengaged .
•  FPAS will get deactivated when vehicle speed is more than 8kmph or hand brake is engaged or reverse gear is disengaged.
•  When the obstacles come in the sensing range, the system starts giving the indication based on the distance and direction of the obstacles as defined in the detecting zones. The closer the obstacles, more display bars illuminated & beeps alerts
9.5 PAS (RPAS & FPAS) Information on Instrument Cluster Screen
Graphic
Graphic
RPAS display on instrument cluster screen gives the following information:
. Left zone indicates obstacle on left side
. Right zone indicates obstacle on right side
. If Obstacle is in center then left and Right both zone will get highlight.
Number of Zones getting changed according to variant.
FPAS display on instrument cluster screen gives the following information:
. Left Corner zone indicates obstacle on left side
. Right Corner Zone indicates obstacle on the right side
9.6 Operation of PAS
1. Start the vehicle (Ignition is turned ON)
2. Change the gear to Reverse (engage reverse gear) and Dis engage Hand brake. RPAS & FPAS will be displayed as like below in Instrument Cluster.
The RPAS & FPAS both will be displayed as like below in the instrument cluster screen during obstacle detection
Graphic
3. For FPAS alone, disengage Hand brake and drive the vehicle forward with speed limit within 1 to 8kmph
FPAS will be displayed as like below in the instrument cluster screen during obstacle detection.
Graphic
Graphic
4. The Beep sound can be heard from the Cluster speaker. Frequency of the beep will increase if obstacle detected by sensor is closer (crossing each display bar) and the sound will be continuous if any of the obstacle is near the vehicle.
Graphic
5. The RPAS distance displayed will be the minimum of distances sensed by left and right sensors. And 120 cm is the maximum detection range & The FPAS distance displayed will be the minimum of distances sensed by left and right sensors 70cm is the maximum detection range
For Example: Assume 2 obstacles are placed as mentioned below:
•  Obstacle at left at 70 cm
•  Obstacle at right at 101 cm
On engaging the gear in reverse, instrument cluster will display as below:
Since obstacle is at 70 cm in left - minimum distance is shown in the distance indicator.
6. FPAS warning sound can be disabled using PAS Switch, available on IP. PAS switch LED will not glow when FPAS sound is in active state and will be in ON state when PAS sound deactivated.
Graphic
9.7 Pay Attention
1. If bars in any one of the sides are displayed with ‘X’ marks is displayed on instrumental cluster display, contact an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
Graphic
2. If all bars are displayed with ‘X’ marks on instrumental cluster display, contact an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
Graphic
Graphic
3. Obstacle in the blind zone cannot be sensed by the system. Applicable for all sensors.
Graphic
4. Please check the condition of the obstacle behind and in front of your vehicle before moving. In some cases, the display may be not as same as reality due to the installed sensor level, obstacle shape and reflection condition.
Graphic
5. Point B will be detected sooner or later, but A may not be detected at all. Applicable for all sensors.
Graphic
6. Not all obstacles are detected from 120 cm. For instance, a person is detected from 75 cm because of the weak reflection or absorption of the waves of the clothes.
Graphic
7. The distance indication may move up and down due to different sizes of the obstacle at different positions.
Graphic
8. Though the obstacle is in the sensing zone, obstacle may not be detected since the ultrasonic waves are not reflected back to the sensor.
Graphic
9. The obstacle of a conical shape may not be detected, since the ultrasonic waves get reflected away
Graphic
9.8 Limitations of PAS
•  System may not sense obstacles like wire mesh, handrail, small objects which are below the bumper level
•  System may not sense obstacles with cotton or spongy surface, which will absorb ultrasonic waves emitted by PAS
•  System performance is dependent on the reflection angle of the obstacle
•  System may give false alert without obstacles while parking/reversing the vehicle on grasslands, gravels and bumpy roads considering it to be an obstacle
•  System may alert you by sensing the ground when the bumper is not fitted in its intended position or when the vehicle is overloaded
•  System may give false signal while the vehicle moves from plain ground to a slope terrain and vice versa
•  System may give false signal by sensing the ground when the bumper is tilted more from the normal position or when the vehicle is heavily overloaded
•  System may give false signal an alarm during heavy rain, snow and heavy wind conditions
•  The shape of the obstacle may prevent a sensor from detecting it. Some obstacles for example as follows:
–  Sharply-angled objects
–  Tall or curved curb
–  Low obstacles (with height of 40 cm above ground level)
–  Tall obstacles with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of the vehicle
•  Depending upon the shape of the obstacle and other environmental factors, the detection distance may shorten or detection may be impossible
•  Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor
•  Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when approached, even if they have been detected once
•  Because of other ultrasonic sources, sensor may give false alarm for e.g., sweeping machines, high pressure steam cleaners and neon lights
•  Due to vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises producing ultrasonic waves, the vicinity of the vehicle is noisy. It may cause sensor to give false alarm
•  Front parking sensors coverage is limited to only corner area of front bumper

Under any circumstances, Mahindra accepts no responsibility and cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect, incidental or consequential damage caused by this system.
9.11 Steering
Your vehicle is equipped with Power steering (Electric Power Steering (EPS) (or) Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS)). This system provides an external assist, so that the driver can easily rotate the steering wheel without much effort. The power steering system will give you good vehicle response and increased ease of manoeuvrability in tight spaces. If for some reason the power assist is interrupted, it will provide mechanical steering capability to steer the vehicle. Under these conditions, you will observe a substantial increase in steering effort, especially at very low vehicle speeds and during parking manoeuvres.
Continued operation with reduced power steering performance could pose a safety risk to yourself and others. Have the vehicle serviced at specified intervals or whenever a power steering problem is noticed.
Keep both hands especially your thumbs on the outside of the steering wheel rim. Do not hold the steering wheel spokes.
If the power steering system breaks down (or if the engine is turned OFF or Not availability of vehicle speed / Power cut off), you can still steer the vehicle manually, but it takes more effort.
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•  Under inflated tyre(s) on any wheel(s)
•  Uneven vehicle loading
•  High crown in the centre of the road
•  High crosswinds
•  Wheels out of alignment
•  Wheels out of balance
•  Loose or worn suspension components
For HPS during initial start-up in cold weather, the power steering pump may produce noise for a short amount of time. This is due to the cold, thick fluid in the steering system. This noise should be considered normal, and it does not in any way damage the steering system.
Precaution to help prevent damage to the power steering pump:
•  Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme right or the extreme left for more than a few seconds when the engine is running
•  Heavy or uneven steering efforts may be caused by low power steering pump fluid level. Check the low power steering pump fluid level before seeking service from an Authorized Mahindra Dealer
•  Do not fill the power steering pump reservoir above the MAX mark on the reservoir, this may result in leaks from the reservoir
9.11.1 Tilt Steering
Graphic
The steering wheel can be adjusted as required using the lever in the steering shroud under the steering wheel.
To tilt/adjust the steering wheel:
Graphic
1. Pull the tilt lever down to unlock.
2. Raise or lower the steering wheel to the desired position.
3. Move the steering wheel to the desired position.
4. Push the tilt lever back up to its original position to lock the steering.
Improperly locked steering wheel could cause loss of control and lead to accidents. Never adjust the steering wheel while driving.

10.4 Vehicle Does Not Start - Checks
Before making these checks, make sure you have followed the correct starting procedure and that you have sufficient fuel.
If the engine is not cranking or is cranking too slowly / intermittently
1. Check that the battery terminals are tight and clean.
2. If the battery terminals are firmly fastened, switch ON the interior lamps.
3. If the lamps do not illuminate, glow dim or go OFF when the starter is cranked, then it indicates a weak or discharged battery. Try jumpstarting. Follow ‘jump starting’ instructions given later in this chapter.
4. Check the fuses in the Engine Compartment Fuse Box and Instrument Panel Fuse Box.
If the engine cranks normally, but does not start
If the engine is cranking normally, but if the engine does not start even after repeated cranking, Contact an Mahindra Authorised Dealer.
To prevent damage to the starter, do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again.
If the engine stalls while driving
•  Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place.
•  Turn ON your hazard warning flashers and check for any malfunction lamps in the instrument cluster.
•  Turn the ignition OFF, wait for approximately 90 seconds and try starting the engine again.
•  If the vehicle still does not start, contact an Mahindra Authorised Dealer.
If the engine stalls while running, the power assist for the brakes will not work. Braking will be much harder than usual.
If the engine speed does not increase
•  If the engine speed does not increase when the accelerator pedal is depressed, there may be a problem in the Engine Management System, electrical or electronic controls.
•  In case of certain faults, the engine may go to limp home mode, which is indicated by the check engine lamp.
•  Have your vehicle checked by an Mahindra Authorised Dealer as soon as possible.
10.5 Engine Overheating
If the temperature gauge moves beyond the normal operating range toward “H” mark. it indicates the engine overheating that may damage the engine.
When the engine overheats, the Engine Management System reduces engine power substantially and may even shut the engine OFF; it is dangerous to continue driving when the engine has overheated. You need to first cool the engine down before starting to drive again.
Follow the below instructions to cool the engine down:
•  Progressively reduce the vehicle speed and bring the vehicle to a stop at the side of the road
•  Turn ON the hazard warning flashers
•  Keep the engine running at idle
•  Engage the parking brake
•  Switch off the air conditioner
•  Wait till the engine coolant temperature drops sufficiently such that the temperature gauge is around halfway between C and H
Now switch the engine OFF and carefully open the bonnet/hood to visibly inspect the engine cooling system parts. Be cautious while doing an inspection as vehicle parts will still be too hot. Verify that the engine coolant level in the coolant recovery tank is maintained between the 'Min' and 'Max' mark. Check for possible fluid leakages. Check for damages to heat exchangers and connecting hoses. Also verify that the radiator shrouds, cooling fan blades and the engine belt all are in good condition.
If any evidence of failure is observed, contact the nearest Mahindra Authorised Dealer for help. In case, no system leakage/ failure is suspected, driving can be continued.
Either due to severe operating conditions or due to any system leakages or failures, the engine can get overheated. However, if the engine is getting overheated repeatedly, even in normal operating conditions, get the vehicle checked by an Mahindra Authorised Dealer as soon as possible.
Refer to the 'High Engine Coolant Temperature' section under the 'Instrument cluster features' chapter for details.
If the high engine coolant temperature warning is ignored, the engine shuts OFF abruptly to safeguard engine components from overheating and consequent failure. Abrupt engine shut-off can lead to uncontrollable driving condition and accidents.
Stay clear of hot and rotating vehicle parts while visually inspecting the vehicle. The coolant inside the cooling system is under high pressure and temperature. Never open the pressure cap of the degassing tank when the engine is hot. Not taking precautions may lead to serious injury to your skin/eyes.
For optimum performance of the cooling system, you must maintain the required coolant level and use only recommended engine coolant.
10.6 Jump Starting
Jump start can be performed when the battery charge is low which can be confirmed by performing the following operations:
1. Turn headlamp ON and check whether lights are dim
2. Try to start the vehicle and check whether engine cranks slowly or not crank at all.
3. Open the bonnet and locate the battery.
It may be necessary to remove the disabled vehicle’s battery cables from the battery terminals and clean both cables and terminals. Use a stiff wire brush to remove all corrosion. Reconnect the cables to the battery terminals before jump starting the vehicle.
4. The positive terminal will be marked with a plus sign (+) and will usually have a RED cable attached on it.
5. The negative terminal will be marked with a minus sign (-) and will usually have a BLACK cable attached to it.
6. A standalone booster battery can be used to start the engine when the vehicle battery is low.
7. Take jumper cables and unwind the red and black cables.
8. Wear safety gear and connect one end of red clamp of the jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery and other end to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery.
9. Similarly, connect one end of black clamp of the jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery and other end to the negative (-) terminal of the discharged battery.
10. Once the jump starting assembly is done, crank the engine for starting.
11. Once the vehicle gets started, carefully remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of attachment.
12. Disconnect the black clamp of the jumper cable from the negative (-) terminal of the discharged battery and the other end of the black clamp from the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery.
13. Similarly, disconnect the red clamp of the jumper cable from the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery and the other end of the red clamp from the positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery.
14. Close the bonnet
15. Keep the vehicle's engine running and slightly accelerate the vehicle to charge the battery.
If the problem persists on next starting cycle, please visit Mahindra Authorised Dealer
Graphic
•  Once the vehicle gets started, carefully remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of attachment
Make sure none of the cables are dangling into the engine compartment, where they could be exposed to moving parts.
•  Remove the jumper cables once the vehicle starts. Do this in the reverse of the order in which they were attached, and don't let any of the cables or clamps touch each other (or dangle into the engine compartment)
•  Disconnect the black clamp of the jumper cable from the negative (-) terminal of the discharged battery
•  Disconnect the other end of the black clamp from the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery
•  Disconnect the red clamp of the jumper cable from the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery
•  Disconnect the other end of the red clamp from the positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery
Replace any positive (+) red post protective covers if applicable (You have had to remove or open these in the beginning) These covers help prevent accidental short circuiting of the battery
•  Keep the vehicle's engine running. Run the vehicle above idle (slightly revved up with your foot on the accelerator). This should give the battery enough charge to start the vehicle again. If it does not start, either your battery might be dead or faulty alternator.
Improper jump starting procedures can result in battery explosion and acid burn hazard.
Loosely connected battery cables could damage the electronic control units.
To disconnect battery terminals, wait for at least 2 minutes to allow discharge of high voltage or it could lead to personal injury.
While disconnecting, always disconnect the -VE terminal first and while connecting, always connect the -VE terminal last.
Do not connect battery terminals with opposite polarity, it will lead to alternator, Electronic control unit failures.
Towing a vehicle to start could be dangerous. The vehicle being towed could surge forward when the engine starts, causing the two vehicles to collide, injuring the occupants.
Modern vehicles with electronic management systems should not be jump started without ‘protected’ jump starter leads.
10.7 Limp Home Mode
Graphic
Limp Home Mode is an emergency declared by the EMS (Engine Management System) due to failure or malfunction of one/more critical sensors/actuators. In this mode, the EMS (Engine Management System) will revert back to basic minimum requirement (fuel quantity / injection timings) to aid the driver to bring the vehicle back to the nearest workshop. The drivability & fuel consumption will be greatly affected.
If vehicle acceleration worsens or if there is a drop in vehicle performance, there might be a malfunction in the engine management system which triggers/activates the Limp Home Mode. This condition is accompanied by the check engine lamp illuminating in the instrument cluster. In this mode, the vehicle speed is limited, and the accelerator pedal may not function normally. It is recommended you contact an Mahindra Authorised Dealer immediately for assistance.
If the above telltale is ON/blinking, It indicates an emergency situation declared by the EMS (Engine Management System) due to failure of one/more critical sensors/actuators and triggers/activates the Limp Home Mode.
10.8 Fuses & Relays
A fuse is electric protection device. A fuse is placed in an electrical circuit, so that when current flow exceeds the rating of the fuse, it blows off. The element in the fuse melts, opening the circuit and preventing other components of the circuit from being damaged by the over current. The size of the metal fuse element determines the rating. Once a fuse blows off, it must be replaced with a new one.
Graphic
Switch the ignition and all electrical equipment OFF before touching or attempting to change a fuse.
Graphic
Fuse puller is available at the engine compartment fuse box .
Fit replacement fuse with the same rating as the one you have removed.
You can identify a blown fuse by a break in the filament. All fuses except high current fuses are push fit. A fuse puller should be used to remove the fuse from its position.
10.8.1 Engine Compartment Fuse Box
Graphic
Graphic
Engine compartment fuse box is located adjacent to vehicle battery. Release the lock to access the fuse box contents. Remove the fuse box cover by pressing the clips from both sides using both hands simultaneously. Spare fuses are provided in the fuse box for replacement of blown fuses. Ensure the correct rating fuse is replaced with the blown fuse.

10.9 Changing a Flat Tyre
In case of a flat tyre during driving, reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place well away from traffic. Park on a level spot with firm ground. Stop the engine and turn ON your hazard warning flashers.
Firmly apply the parking brake. Have everyone come out of the vehicle on the side away from traffic.
Never stop your vehicle in a traffic lane to change a tyre. You could be hit by an oncoming vehicle. Keep driving until you reach a safe location.
Lifting a vehicle to change a tyre or perform maintenance is very dangerous if you do not have the requisite tools, safety equipment and training. The jack provided along with the vehicle is to be used only for changing a spare tyre. It is never to be used to perform any other maintenance or repair on the vehicle.
Never place any part of your body under any portion of the vehicle when it is supported only by the jack. You could be crushed by the vehicle if it falls off a jack. Keep bystanders away from the vehicle.
Find level, solid ground that is clear of oncoming traffic. If you cannot find a safe place to stop, it is better to drive on a flat tyre and damage the rim than it is to risk being hit by oncoming traffic. After changing a flat Tyre, never store the tyre or other equipment in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. This loose equipment could strike an occupant in the event of a sudden stop or collision. Store all of these items in the proper place.
The following sections outline the procedure for changing a flat tyre;
10.9.1 Warning Triangle
The warning triangle is a necessary device for your safety.
It is placed below the third row seat cushion.
Follow the below steps to access the warning triangle
Graphic
•  Pull the strap behind the third row seat as shown in the image and fold the seat
•  Tumble the seat again and Open the velcro for taking the warning triangle out.
Graphic
Graphic
When you pull over your breaking down vehicle to a safe place, set up a warning triangle behind your vehicle. (Daytime: 100 Meters behind, Night: 200 Meters behind)
When the Vehicle has a Serious Problem during Driving
Turn on the hazard flasher and move the vehicle out of traffic to a safe place. Set up the warning triangle behind your vehicle (Daytime: 100 Meters, Night: 200 Meters) to warn other vehicles
Have all passengers get out of the vehicle and stay away from the traffic.
When your safety is secured, contact your Mahindra Authorised Dealer for your emergency service

The spare wheel provided on your vehicle is for temporary purpose only. Do not use the spare wheel for continuous running.
When Using the Spare Wheel
•  Spare Wheel provided is specifically designed for your vehicle.
•  Do not use more than one Spare Wheel simultaneously.
•  Drive the shortest possible distance with Spare Wheel.
•  While using spare wheel reduce speed, Avoid sharp cornering, Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting operations that cause sudden engine braking.
•  Do not drive at speeds in excess of 80 km/h when a Temporary Spare Wheel is installed on the vehicle.
Refer to “ Spare Wheel” section in the Starting and Driving chapter for more details.
The spare wheel provided on your vehicle is smaller in size (T155/90 R18 113M) and for temporary purpose only. Do not use the spare wheel for continuous running.
10.9.5 Wheel Nut Loosening
Before loosening the wheel nut, Wheel cover/cap must be removed. To remove the wheel cover, wrap the tip of a screwdriver with cloth, insert it near the lugs of the wheel cover and pry the cover away from the wheel.
Do not try to pry off the wheel cover by hand alone. Take due care in handling the wheel cover to avoid unexpected personal injury.
Graphic
Always loosen the wheel nuts before raising the vehicle. Turn the wheel nuts anti-clockwise to loosen as per the sequence.
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.
Do not apply force with your legs (or stand) on the wheel spanner while tightening or Loosening the wheel nuts.
Graphic
A: Flat Tyre
B: Chocks Blocks
Block the wheel diagonally opposite the flat tyre 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.

Make sure to set the jack properly in the jacking point. Raising the vehicle with an improperly positioned jack will damage the underbody of the vehicle or may allow the vehicle to fall off the jack and cause personal injury.
•  Use the jack only for lifting your vehicle during wheel changing
•  Do not raise the jack with someone in the vehicle
•  When raising the vehicle, do not place any objects on top of or underneath the jack
•  Raise the vehicle only high enough to remove and change the wheel
•  Usable extended height of jack is up to the yellow line/mark. Do not raise the jack above the yellow line.
•  Follow jacking instructions
•  Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is supported by the jack
Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle is supported by the jack alone.
Remove the wheel nuts. Lift the flat tyre straight off and place it aside. Roll the spare wheel into position and align the holes in the wheel with the hub. Lift up the wheel and get at least the top nut inserted through its hole. Wiggle the wheel and press it back for fitting balance nuts.
Before putting on the wheels, remove any corrosion on the mounting surfaces with a wire brush or such. Installation of wheels without good metal to metal contact at the mounting surface can cause wheel nuts to loosen and eventually cause a wheel to come off while driving.
Graphic
Reinstall the wheel nuts with the tapered end inward and tighten by hand. Press the wheel inward and tighten the wheel nuts further.
Never use oil or grease on the nuts. Doing so the spanner slips, damaging the nuts and may cause personal injuries. Also, nuts may loosen, and the wheels may fall off, which could cause a serious accident. If there is oil or grease on any nut, clean before installing wheel nuts.
Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the wheel nuts using the wheel spanner. Turn the jack-operating lever anti-clockwise using the wheel spanner to lower the vehicle, making sure the handle remains firmly fitted onto the jack handle extension. Do not use other tools or any additional leverage other than your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot. Make sure the spanner is securely engaged over the nut.
Graphic
Tighten each nut a little at a time in the diagonally opposite order as shown. Repeat the process until all the nuts are tight.
Improperly or loosely tightened wheel nuts are dangerous. The wheel could wobble or come off. This could result in loss of vehicle control and cause a serious accident. Always make sure all the wheel nuts are properly/securely tightened to the specified torque.
When lowering the vehicle, make sure all portions of your body and all other persons are clear off the vehicle as it is lowered to the ground. Have the wheel nuts tightened with the torque spanner to 83-104Nm, as soon as possible after changing wheels.
If you have rotated, repaired, changed your tyres or changed the wheel rims, check the wheel nuts are still tight after driving about 1,000 kms (Torque 120 Nm).
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.
Restore the tools (jack, wheel spanner, Punctured tyre, etc.) in their storage locations.

11.4 General Owner's Information
Your vehicle has been designed for fewer maintenance requirements with longer service intervals to save both your time and money. However, each regular maintenance, as well as day-to-day care is more important to ensure a smooth, trouble-free, safe and economical operation. It is the owner's responsibility to make sure the specified maintenance, including general maintenance service is performed. Note that both the new vehicle limited warranty and emission control system limited warranties specify that proper maintenance and care must be performed. See Warranty and Service Information Guide for complete warranty information.
Where to go for service?
Mahindra technicians are well trained specialists and are kept up to date with the latest service information through technical bulletins, service tips and in dealership training programmes. They learn to work on Mahindra vehicles before they work on your vehicle, rather than while they are working on it.
You can be confident that your Mahindra Authorised Dealer service department does the best job to meet the maintenance requirements on your vehicle reliably and economically.
Get the most from your vehicle with routine maintenance: Routine maintenance is the best way to help ensure you get the performance, dependability, long life and better resale value you expect from your vehicle. This is exactly why we've put together this Maintenance Section. It outlines the services required to properly maintain your vehicle and when they should be performed. The focus is on maintaining your vehicle while it's running great, which goes a long way toward preventing major repairs and expenses later.
Here are a few suggestions to help you get started on routine maintenance:
•  Familiarize yourself with your vehicle by going through your Owner's Manual
•  Take a few minutes to review this Maintenance Section
•  Make it a habit to use this manual to record scheduled maintenance in the warranty and Service Information Guide
•  Consult with your Mahindra Authorised Dealer for all your vehicle's needs
Suggestions for Obtaining Service for your Vehicle
Prepare for the Appointment: If you have warranty work to be done, be sure to have the right papers with you. All work to be performed may not be covered by the warranty. Discuss additional charges with the service manager. Keep a maintenance log of your vehicle's service history.
Prepare a List: Make a written list of your vehicle's problems or the specific work you want done. If you've had an accident or work done that is not on your maintenance log, let the Service adviser/Relationship manager know about it.
Be Reasonable with Requests: If your list has several items and you must have your vehicle by the end of the day, discuss the situation with the Service adviser/Relationship manager and list the items in order of priority.
Need Assistance? : It is recommended talking to an Mahindra Authorised Dealer service manager first. Most matters can be resolved with this process. If for some reason you are still not satisfied, talk to the general manager or owner of the dealership.
If an Mahindra Authorised Dealer is unable to resolve the concern, you may contact any Mahindra Customer Care Executive. They would need the following information:
Owner's name and address, owner's telephone number (home and office), Mahindra Authorised Dealer name, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), vehicle delivery date and mileage.
Warranty Information: Read the Warranty Information given in the ‘Warranty and Service Information Guide’ for the terms and provisions of Mahindra warranties applicable to this vehicle. Mahindra genuine parts, fluids, lubricants and accessories are available at any Mahindra Authorised Dealer. They will help keep the vehicle operating at its best.
Protect your Warranty: Routine maintenance is not only the best way to help keep your vehicle performing as intended, it's also the best way to protect your warranty. Failure to perform scheduled maintenance specified in the warranty and Service Information Guide will invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected by the lack of maintenance. We can't stress enough how important it is to keep records of all maintenance. Damage or failures due to neglect or lack of proper maintenance are not covered under warranty.
Keeping maintenance records is easy with the ‘Warranty and Service Information Guide’
It's important to document the maintenance of your vehicle. For your convenience to maintain records of service, the scheduled maintenance coupons are provided in the service coupon booklet. Every time you bring your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance, be sure to present this booklet and certify the work. Also record the date of service and mileage at the time of service. This will make record keeping easy and, should your vehicle ever require warranty coverage, you will have all the documentation to show you've properly maintained it.
Oils, Fluids and Flushing: In many cases, fluid discoloration is a normal operating characteristic by itself, and does not necessarily indicate a concern or that the fluid needs to be changed. However, discolored fluids that also show signs of overheating and/or foreign material contamination should be inspected immediately by a qualified expert such as the factory trained technicians at your Mahindra Authorised Dealer. Your vehicle's oils and fluids should be changed at the specified intervals or in conjunction with a repair.
Chemicals and Additives: Non-Mahindra approved chemicals or additives are not required for factory recommended maintenance. In fact, Mahindra recommends against the use of such additive products unless specifically recommended by Mahindra for a particular application.
Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built with multiple complex performance systems. Every manufacturer develops these systems using different specifications and performance features. That's why it's important to rely on your Mahindra Authorised Dealer to properly diagnose and repair your vehicle.
When planning your maintenance services, consider your Mahindra Authorised Dealer for all your vehicle's needs.
Get the most from your Service and Maintenance visits: Getting your vehicle serviced at an Mahindra Authorised Dealer adds great value to your vehicle in number of ways. Hence, it is recommended to service your vehicle at an Mahindra Authorised Dealer only.
Maintenance Interval: Mahindra establishes recommended maintenance intervals based upon engineering testing to determine the most appropriate mileage to perform the various maintenance services. This protects your vehicle at the lowest overall cost to you. Mahindra recommends that you do not deviate from the maintenance schedules presented in this Maintenance Schedule.

11.6 General Maintenance
Exercise extreme caution when the hood is open and engine is ON.
Listed below are the general maintenance items that should be performed frequently. In addition to checking the items listed below, if you notice any unusual noise, fluid leakages, smell or vibration, you should investigate the cause or take your vehicle to your Mahindra Authorised Dealer or a qualified service shop immediately.
Make these checks only with adequate ventilation if you intend to run the engine.
In the Engine Compartment
•  Front windshield washer fluid level
•  Engine coolant level
•  Battery condition
•  Brake/Clutch fluid level
•  Engine oil level
•  Fluid leaks
•  Hoses, joints and pipes for any abnormalities
Inside the Vehicle
•  Lights
•  Warning lamps
•  Windshield wiper and wash
•  Steering wheel
•  Seats/Seat belts
•  Accelerator pedal/Brake pedal
•  Brakes
•  Parking brake
•  Gear lever shift mechanism
Outside the Vehicle
•  Lamps
•  Fluid leaks
•  Doors and engine bonnet latches
•  Tyre inflation pressure
•  Tyre surface/thread and wheel nuts
11.7 In the Engine Compartment
Fluid Leaks: Check the engine compartment and the underbody of the vehicle for any leaks. If you smell fuel vapor or notice any leak, have the cause found and corrected immediately.
Engine Oil: Engine oil has the primary functions of lubricating and cooling the inside of the engine. It plays a major role in maintaining the engine in proper working order. Therefore, it is essential to check the engine oil regularly.
Engine Oil Consumption: It is normal for engines to consume some engine oil during operation. Causes of consumption in a normal engine are as follows:
•  Oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders. Thin films of oil, left over when pistons move in cylinders, are sucked into the combustion chamber due to high negative pressure generated when the vehicle is decelerating. This oil gets burnt in the combustion chamber
•  Oil is also used to lubricate the stems of intake valves. Some of this oil is sucked into the combustion chamber together with the intake air and is burnt there
•  Engine oil consumption depends upon the viscosity and quality of the oil, and upon the conditions in which the vehicle is driven. Oil consumption will be more due to high speed driving and frequent acceleration and deceleration. A new engine may consume more oil since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls are not conditioned
11.7.1 Checking/Topping the Engine Oil
Graphic
•  Make sure the vehicle is on ground level
•  Turn the engine OFF and wait a few minutes for the oil to settle down into the oil sump
•  Apply the parking brake
•  Open the bonnet, use stay rod to support the bonnet. Protect yourself from engine heat
•  Locate and carefully remove the engine oil level dipstick
•  Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth. Insert the dipstick fully, then remove it again
•  If the oil level is between “Min” and “Max” marks, the oil level is acceptable. DO NOT ADD OIL
Graphic
Graphic
•  To access the engine oil filling remove the engine top cover.
•  If the oil level is below or near the "Min" mark, add enough oil through the oil filler cap to raise the level within the “Min” and “Max” marks. Wait for few minutes after every top-up for the oil to settle down before checking the level
Graphic
•  Oil levels above the “Max” mark may cause engine damage/poor performance. Put the dipstick and the oil filler cap back and ensure it is fully/properly seated
Kindly refer the Warranty and Service Information Guide for Engine oil capacity and grade.
Draining/Changing of engine oil should always be done by an Mahindra Authorised Dealer.
To avoid possible oil loss and injury due to hot blow-by gas, DO NOT operate the vehicle with the engine oil level dipstick and/or the engine oil filler cap removed.
11.7.2 Checking/Topping Engine Coolant Level
Graphic
•  Park the vehicle on flat-horizontal surface. Keep the parking brake fully engaged. Shut-off the engine
•  Wait till the engine cools down and hence coolant temperature comes down to normal room temperature
Graphic
•  The coolant level should be between “MIN” and “MAX” marking provided on the degassing tank
•  In case the coolant level is below the "MIN" marking, the coolant should be topped-up
•  The coolant should be filled till the level rises above the 'MIN' but remain below the “MAX” marking on the degassing tank
•  However, if the degassing tank is found to be near empty, it is recommended that the system be checked at Mahindra Authorised Dealer
Kindly refer the Warranty and Service Information Guide for Engine Coolant capacity and grade.
Top-up only with recommended Ready To Use (RTU) coolants for ensuring performance, anti-freezing and corrosion protection. Do not add water directly. Mixing with other brand of coolants is not recommended and should be avoided.
Draining or changing of engine coolant should always be done by Mahindra Authorised Dealer.
Never open the pressure cap when the engine is hot. Hot coolant may splash resulting in serious personal injury or severe burns by the erupting liquid.
11.7.3 Checking/Topping Brake/Clutch Fluid
Graphic
The brake and clutch systems are supplied fluid from the same reservoir (Applicable for manual transmission vehicle).
Graphic
The brake fluid level will drop slowly as the brakes wear and will rise when the brake components are replaced. Fluid levels between the “MIN” and “MAX” lines are within the normal operating range; there is no need to add fluid.
If the fluid levels are below the “MIN” mark, the performance of the systems could be compromised; the brake/clutch operation could be spongy and gear change harder. Top-up the recommended brake/clutch fluid till the “MAX” mark or contact an Mahindra Authorised Dealer immediately.
Carefully clean the cap on the reservoir before you remove it and be sure no debris fall in the reservoir. Do not keep the reservoir open for longer than necessary to add brake fluid.
Use only brake/clutch fluid that meets Mahindra specifications.
Kindly refer the Warranty and Service Information Guide for Brake/Clutch Fluid capacity and grade.
Draining or changing of brake fluid should always be done by Mahindra Authorised Dealer.
11.7.4 Windshield Washer Fluid Top-up
Top-up the windshield washer reservoirs as and when required.
Graphic
The windshield washer is located behind the RH Head lamp in the engine bay.
In very cold weather conditions, fill the reservoir with washer fluid premixed with anti-freeze.
If you operate your vehicle in very low temperatures, use washer fluid with anti-freeze protection. Failure to use washer fluid with anti-freeze protection in cold weather could result in impaired windshield vision and increase the risk of injury or accident.
11.7.5 Fuel Filter Water Draining (If equipped)
The Fuel filter is located in LH side of the underbody as shown in the image.
Graphic
Graphic
The fuel filter needs to be drained when there is water entry in the fuel filter and respective tell tale ON in cluster.

Tyre Inflation Pressure: Check the Tyre pressure with a pressure gauge every week.
11.10 Battery
Your vehicle is equipped with a Mahindra authorized genuine battery. For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the top of the battery clean and dry. Also, make certain the battery cables are always tightly fastened to the battery terminals.
If you see any corrosion on the battery or terminals, remove the cables from the terminals and clean with a wire brush. To prevent corrosion, apply petroleum jelly to the battery terminals. Tighten loose terminals and hold down clamp nuts only enough to keep the battery firmly in place. Tightening excessively may damage the battery terminals.
For Best Battery Service
•  Keep the battery securely mounted
•  Keep the battery top clean and dry
•  Keep the terminals and connections clean, tight, and coated with petroleum jelly or terminal grease
•  Rinse any spilled electrolyte from the battery immediately with a solution of water and baking soda
Do not disconnect battery terminals while the engine is running. This will adversely affect all electronic controllers.
While removing the battery, always disconnect the negative terminal first. And while installing the battery, ensure the negative terminal is connected last.
It is recommended that the negative battery cable terminal be disconnected from the battery if you plan to store your vehicle for an extended period of time. This will minimise the discharge of your battery during storage.
Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery acid to contact eyes, skin or clothing. Don't lean over battery when attaching clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other. If acid splashes in the eyes or on the skin, flush contaminated area immediately with large quantities of water.
A battery generates hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep any flame or spark away from the vent holes.
Keep batteries out of reach of children. Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead components. Wash hands after handling batteries.
If the battery has been disconnected or a new battery has been installed, the clock (if equipped) and the preset radio (if equipped) stations must be reset once the battery is reconnected.
The replacement battery must meet the specification of the originally fitted battery.
Checking the Electrolyte Level
Check the electrolyte level and specific gravity at intervals of three months. Check all the six cells for proper electrolyte levels. If the level is below the lower marker, add distilled water until the level reaches the upper marker.
Adding distilled water:
•  Remove the vent plugs
•  Add distilled water to all the cells that require the fluid and secure the plugs properly
11.11 Wiper Blades
Lift the wiper arm from its position. Expose the blade lip for inspection. Clean the wiper blade lips with water applied with a soft sponge. If the wiper blade is not wiping the glass satisfactorily or is worn-out, cut, cracked or bulging, get it replaced at an Mahindra Authorised Dealer.

11.12 Appearance Care and Protection
11.12.1 Washing the Exterior
•  Wash your vehicle regularly with cool or lukewarm water and a neutral pH soap
•  Never use strong household detergents or soap, such as dish washing or laundry liquid. These products can discolor and spot painted surfaces
•  Never wash a vehicle that is ‘hot to the touch’ or during exposure to strong, direct sunlight
•  Always use a clean sponge or car wash mitt with plenty of water for best results
•  Dry the vehicle with a chamois cloth or soft terry cloth towel in order to eliminate water spotting
•  It is especially important to wash the vehicle regularly during the winter months, as dirt and road salt are difficult to remove and cause damage to the vehicle
•  Immediately remove items such as gasoline, diesel fuel, bird droppings and insect deposits; they can cause damage to the vehicle's paint work and trim over time
11.12.2 Engine Compartment
Graphic
Do not wash the engine or engine compartment or underbody with pressurized water.
11.12.3 Exterior Chrome
•  Wash the vehicle first, using cool or lukewarm water and a neutral pH shampoo
•  Use the custom bright metal cleaners, available at your Mahindra Authorised Dealer. Apply the product as you would wax to clean chrome parts; allow the cleaner to dry for a few minutes, and then wipe off the haze with a clean, dry rag
•  Never use abrasive materials such as steel wool or plastic pads as they can leave scratches on the chrome surface
•  After polishing the chrome parts, you can also apply a coating of Premium Liquid Wax, available at your Mahindra Authorised Dealer, or an equivalent quality product to help protect from environmental effects
11.12.4 Paint Chips
•  Mahindra dealers have the exact touch-up paint to match your vehicle's color
•  Take your vehicle to an Mahindra Authorised Dealer for paint touch-up or paint repairs
•  Remove particles such as bird droppings, tree sap, insect deposits, tar spots, road salt and industrial fallout before repairing paint chips
•  Always read the instructions before using the products
11.12.5 Alloy Wheels and Wheel Covers (if equipped)
Alloy wheels and wheel covers are coated with a clear coat of paint finish. In order to maintain their shine:
•  Clean weekly with wheel and Tyre cleaner, which is available at your Mahindra Authorised Dealer. Heavy dirt and brake dust accumulation may require agitation with a sponge. Rinse thoroughly with a strong stream of water
•  Never apply any cleaning chemicals to hot or warm wheel rims or covers
•  Do not use hydrofluoric acid-based or high caustic-based wheel cleaners, steel wool, fuels or strong household detergents
11.12.6 Plastic (Non-painted) Exterior Parts
Use only approved products to clean plastic parts. These products are available with your Mahindra Authorised Dealer. You can use these cleaners:
1. For routine cleaning of plastic parts
2. For tar or grease spots
3. For plastic head lamp lenses
11.12.7 Windows and Wiper Blades
The front/rear windshield, side windows and the wiper blades should be cleaned regularly. If the wipers do not wipe properly, substances on the vehicle's glass or the wiper blades may be the cause. These may include hot wax treatments used by commercial car washes, water repellent coatings, tree sap, or other organic contamination; these contaminants may cause squeaking or chatter noise from the blades and streaking and smearing of the windshield.
To clean these items, follow these tips:
•  The windshield, rear windows and side windows may be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner such as Clear Spray Glass Cleaner, available at your Mahindra Authorised Dealer
•  The wiper blades can be cleaned with alcohol or Premium Windshield Washer Concentrate, available at your Mahindra Authorised Dealer. This washer fluid contains a special solution in addition to alcohol which helps remove the hot wax deposited on the wiper blade and windshield. Be sure to replace wiper blades when they appear worn or do not function properly
•  Do not use abrasives, as they may cause scratches
•  Do not use fuel, kerosene, or paint thinner to clean any glass parts
If you cannot remove those streaks after cleaning with the glass cleaner or if the wipers chatter and move in a jerky motion, clean the outer surface of the windshield and the wiper blades using a sponge or soft cloth with a neutral detergent or mild-abrasive cleaning solution. After cleaning, rinse the windshield and wiper blades with clean water. The windshield is clean if beads do not form when you rinse the windshield with water.
Do not use sharp objects, such as a razor blade, to remove decals, as it may cause damage to the glass or rear windshield heater grid lines (if equipped).
11.12.8 Interior Maintenance
For fabric, carpets, cloth seats, safety belts and seats:
•  Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner
•  Remove light stains and soil with carpet and upholstery cleaner
•  If grease or tar is present on the material, spot-clean the area first with a stain remover
•  Do not use household cleaning products or glass cleaners, which can stain and discolor the fabric and affect the flame- retardant abilities of the seat materials
•  Do not use cleaning solvents, bleach or dye on the vehicle's safety belts, as these actions may weaken the belt webbing.
11.12.9 Display Maintenance & Cleaning
Infotainment/Cluster Display Maintenance:
Infotainment/Cluster display is a precise electrical product and the surface is covered with soft optical film/coating. Therefore user should take necessary precaution and care for cleaning the display visible surface.
Cleaning the display area:
•  It is recommended to use soft and micro-fiber lint free cloth to clean the display visible surface.
•  Wipe gently. Do not rub, as the optical film is sensitive to scratch formation.
•  Be careful for scratch by hard matter like finger nail or steel wool.
•  Do not try to peel off the optical film or coating on the screen, since it is attached strongly.
•  Do not add another commercial optical film on to the display visible area.

•  Apply vinyl cleaner to the wiped area and spread around evenly
•  Apply cleaner to a clean white cotton cloth and press the cloth onto the soiled area and allow this to set in at room temperature for 30 minutes
•  Remove the soaked cloth, and if it is not soiled badly, use this cloth to clean the area with a rubbing motion for 60 seconds
•  Following this, wipe area dry with a clean white cotton cloth
Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when cleaning the steering wheel or instrument panel.
11.12.11 Leatherette Seats (where applicable)
Your leatherette seating surfaces have a clear, protective coating over the leather:
•  To clean, use a soft microfiber / cotton / sponge cloth with a leather and vinyl with approved cleaners. Dry the area with a soft cloth
•  To help maintain its resiliency and color, use the leather care kit, available from an Mahindra Authorised Dealer
•  Do not use household cleaning products, alcohol solutions, solvents or cleaners intended for rubber, vinyl and plastics, or oil/petroleum-based leather conditioners. These products may cause premature wearing of the clear, protective coating
In some instances, a color or dye transfer can occur when wet clothing meets leather upholstery. If this occurs, clean the leather immediately to avoid permanent staining.
11.12.12 Underbody
Flush the complete underside of your vehicle frequently. Keep body and door drain holes free from packed dirt. You can also use an anti-corrosion spray for the underbody to avoid rusting and corrosion especially for vehicles in coastal places.
11.13 Air Conditioning System Maintenance
Your vehicle's air-conditioning is a sealed system. Any major maintenance, such as recharging should be done by a qualified technician. However, you can do a few things by yourself to make sure the air conditioning works efficiently.
Run the air-conditioning system at least once a week, even during the cold weather months. Run it for at least ten minutes with the engine running at normal operating temperature. This circulates the lubricating oil contained in the refrigerant.
Whenever you get the air-conditioning system serviced, make sure the service facility uses a refrigerant recycling system. This system captures the refrigerant for re-use. Releasing the refrigerant into the atmosphere may cause damage to the environment.
11.14 Vehicle Storage
If you are leaving your vehicle for more than 2 weeks you may want to take stopping to protect your battery. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Anytime you store your vehicle or keep it out of service (i.e. vacation) for two weeks or more, run the air conditioning system at idle for about five minutes in the fresh air mode and high blower speed setting. This will ensure adequate system lubrication to minimize the possibility of compressor damage when the system is started again.
It is recommended storing the vehicle in a covered, clean, dry, well levelled, ventilated and closed place.
11.15 Winter Care
Dealing with Ice: Make sure you have window ice scrapers and de-icers for the locks. When you're stuck, having a small shovel is useful to dig out of the snow. The weight of a bag of sand in the trunk will give added traction in rear-wheel drive vehicles and can be used to sprinkle on the snow and ice to gain better traction. And don't forget personal protection such as a warm coat, hat, gloves and a blanket, in case you get stuck in a storm.
Keep Enough Fuel in the Tank: Never let the fuel level in the tank drop below the half-full mark. A sudden storm with unexpected heavy rains could leave you stranded for hours. Having adequate fuel supply will allow you to idle the engine from time to time to keep warm.
Do not: Tap the ice on the window to crack it or chip it for a good place to start scraping. You could end up cracking more than the ice and end up with a cracked or shattered windshield/window
Pour warm or hot water on the windshield to melt ice. This will crack your windshield
During Winter Storage: Start the engine occasionally, here are a few pointers to keep in mind:
•  Run it in a well-ventilated area. Carbon monoxide can build up quickly
•  Run for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the engine to come up to the normal operating temperature. This will allow the oil to circulate and will also open up the thermostat so that your radiator anti-freeze circulates as well
•  Start up the air conditioner and/or heater and run both for about 10 minute. Again, circulating fluids is essential for good life of the system
Exterior: Wash and wax your car to provide an extra layer of protection to your paint.
Vinyl and Rubber: Use a good conditioner on all vinyl and rubber parts to prevent from drying out.
Interior: Clean the glass, shampoo the carpets, dig in between the seats to see what's there, clean the upholstery in all nooks and corners.
Engine: Check all hoses and wires to make sure everything is in good condition and replace any that need to be. The last thing to do is to make sure the internal components of the engine remain lubricated and don't corrode.
If the engine is being started after a very long period of non-use, warm up the engine at an idle speed for 2-3 minutes before driving the vehicle.
11.16 Head Lamp Bulb Replacement (if equipped)
Below procedure is applicable only for variants having Head lamp bulbs.
To replace the head lamp bulb:
•  Ensure ignition is switched OFF
•  Remove rear dust cover from the head lamp
•  Remove the bulb assembly with connector from the head lamp by unlocking the wire clamp
•  Detach the bulb assembly from the wiring connector near to the head lamp
•  Insert the connector into the new bulb (of the same wattage), and follow the reverse procedure to assemble the bulb assembly in the headlight assembly
•  Clamp the bulb assembly by wire clamp properly
The head lamp bulb can be replaced without removing the head lamp assembly from the vehicle. The head lamp assembly has been removed here for illustration purpose only.

Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers. Oil contamination will severely shorten bulb life. If the bulb comes in contact with any oily surface, clean the bulb with rubbing alcohol.
To avoid burn injuries, do not replace the light bulbs when they are hot. Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and are to be handled with special care. Mishandling it may cause the bulb to burst or shatter. Hold the bulb with its metal/plastic holder/base and do not touch the glass part with bare hands.
Using bulbs with units of higher output capacity/wattage is illegal and may damage your vehicle’s electrical system.
Replacement bulbs must meet the specification of originally fitted bulbs.
