2.4 Fuses and Relays
A fuse is the most common electric protection device. The
fuse is placed in an electrical circuit, so that when current flow
exceeds the rating of the circuit/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 of the same rating.
Switch the ignition and all electrical equipment OFF before
touching or attempting to change a fuse.
Replacement fuse must
be 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 press
fit.
Never touch fuses
with bare hands. Always use the fuse puller to remove and refit the fuses.
Be careful while
removing the relay, to avoid damage to relay terminal — do not shake or apply
excessive force .
There are 3 fuse boxes in the vehicle;
| 1. | Instrument Panel Fuse Box |
| 2. | Engine Compartment Fuse Box |
| 3. | Battery Mounted Fuse Box |

2.4.3 Battery Mounted
Fuse Box
|
The battery mounted fuse box is
connected to the positive terminal of the battery.
|
 |
Functionality of battery mounted fuse box is to provide
short circuit protection to alternator and power supply to main engine
compartment fuse box.
Battery mounted fuse box consist of following fuses:
| • | Main charging fuse – 150A (Pink colour) |
| • | Bus bar fuse - 80A (White colour) |
2.5 Flat Tyre
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 switch ON your hazard warning
flashers.
Firmly apply the parking brake. Have everyone come out of the
vehicle on the side away from traffic.
After stopping , use the hazard warning triangle to alert the
oncoming traffic of the stopped vehicle
Never stop your
vehicle in a traffic lane to change a tyre. Keep driving until you reach a safe
location.
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 bystander’s 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;
2.5.1 Jack
Jack Removing
Procedure
|
The jack assembly is located behind
the rear seat on the floor.
|
 |
|
Lift the floor mat provided in the
luggage compartment
|
 |
To open the tool kit lid assembly (B), rotate the lid
screw (A) anti clockwise direction to remove the tool kit lid assembly.
Remove the jack assembly.
Refix the jack assembly and close the tool kit lid
assembly and rotate the lid screw clockwise direction to close.
|
Tool kit is located below the rear
seat.
|
 |
The tool kit consists of,
|
Screw Driver
|
DEO Spanner 10mm x 12mm
|
|
Wheel Spanner
|
Wrench tool for Water drain in fuel
|
|
Jack Operating Lever
|
2.5.2 Spare Wheel
Removal
The spare wheel is mounted on the rear end of the
vehicle. It is held in place by a securing nuts.
|
 |
2.5.3 Wheel Nut
Loosening
Always loosen the wheel nut before raising the vehicle.
|
Turn the wheel nut counter clockwise
to loosen as per the crisscross sequence shown.
|
 |
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 nut, but loosen them by one or two turns.
Do not apply
force with your legs (or stand) on the wheel spanner while loosening/tightening
the wheel nuts.
2.6 Jack Points
|
Front
jack up point - On the chassis long member behind the front
wheels.
|
 |
|
Rear
jack up point - On either side of the rear axle.
|
 |
2.6.1 Jacking
Position the jack at the correct jacking point. Make sure
the jack is positioned on a level and solid ground. Ensure that
no one is in the vehicle.
Block the wheel diagonally opposing the flat tyre to keep
the vehicle from rolling when it is jacked up. While blocking the
wheel, place a wheel block in front of one of the front wheels or behind one of the rear
wheels.
|
A: Flat Tyre
B: Chock Blocks
|
 |
To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle end along
with the extension into the jack and turn it clockwise with the jack
handle. As the jack touches the vehicle and begins to lift, check that it is properly
positioned. Raise it high enough so
that the spare tyre can be installed. Remember that you will need more ground clearance
when putting the inflated spare tyre
than when removing the flat tyre.
Make sure to
locate the jack properly in the jacking point. Raising the vehicle with an
improperly positioned jack will damage
the underbody of the vehicle and may allow the vehicle to fall off the jack and
cause personal injury.
| • | Use the jack only for lifting the vehicle during wheel changing |
| • | Do not raise the jack with any person inside 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 |
| • | 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. Remove the flat tyre straight off
and then place it aside. Roll the spare wheel into position and align
the holes of the disc/drum with the nuts. Lift the wheel and hand tighten the top wheel
nut. Wiggle the wheel and press it
back over the other nuts.
|
Re-install the wheel nut with the
tapered end inward and tighten by hand. Press the wheel inward and
tighten the wheel nuts
further.
|
 |
Before lowering the wheel hand tighten the nuts in
diagonal sequence so that wheel is flush against the hub/drum
Never use oil or
grease on the bolts or nuts. Doing so may lead to over tightening of the nuts,
wheel bolts spanner slip,
damage the nuts and also 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 bolt or nut, clean before
installing wheel nuts.
Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the diagonally
opposite wheel nuts using the wheel nuts spanner. Turn the jack
handle extension anti clockwise using the jack handle to lower the vehicle, making sure
the handle remains firmly fitted onto
the jack handle extension. Make sure the wheel spanner is securely engaged over the nut.
|
Tighten each nut a little at a time
in the diagonally opposite order as shown. Repeat the process until
all the nuts are
tight.
|
 |
Do not use any other tools or any additional leverage
other than your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot.
Firmly tighten
the wheel nuts as per the sequence shown in the illustration , two to three
times.
Improperly or
loosely tightened wheel nuts are dangerous. The wheel can wobble or come off.
This can 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 are clear off the vehicle as it is
lowered to the ground. Have
the wheel nuts tightened with the torque spanner to 120 Nm, as soon as possible
after changing wheels.
If you have
rotated, repaired, changed your tyres or changed the wheel rims, retorque the
wheel nuts after driving about
1,000 kms (Torque 120 Nm).
Put the wheel cap (if equipped) into position aligning
the nozzle on the wheel to the nozzle clearance on the wheel cover.
Tap it firmly on the sides with your hand to snap it into place.
Check the air pressure of the replaced tyre. If the
pressure is lower than recommended, drive slowly to the nearest service
station and inflate to the correct pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is
correct. Always reinstall the valve
cap after checking or adjusting tyre pressure. If the cap is not replaced, dirt and
moisture could get into the valve core
and cause air leakage. If you lose a valve cap, buy another and install it as soon as
possible.
Wheel balancing
to be done after tyre puncture rework.
2.6.2 Restore the Tools,
Jack and Flat Tyre Securely
Restore the tools and jack back to their respective
locations. Mount the flat tyre to the back door bracket at the rear of
the vehicle. Firmly tighten the securing nuts. Double check to ensure the tyre is snug
against the back door of the vehicle.
It is recommended
to fix the flat tyre at the nearest tyre shop and swap the spare wheel back. The
wheel balance and alignment
differ from wheel to wheel which may lead to difference in steering and
braking.

5 EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM -
Applicable for Diesel
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) |
In order to ensure proper function of the emission control
systems, it is mandatory to get your vehicle inspected and maintained
by an Mahindra Authorised Dealer. The maintenance schedule in this manual need to be followed.
It is also extremely important to use correct grade of fuel,
Confirming to IS 1460; 2017 BS VI Specification.
5.1 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).
5.2 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.
5.2.1 Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) MaxiCLEAN
To enable SCR system work efficiently and to ensure
emission compliance, It is recommended to use MaxiCLEAN DEF meeting IS
17042 (or) ISO 22241 specification.
Refilling DEF is part of regular maintenance service. DEF consumption is highly dependent on driving conditions/pattern. It may be necessary to refill DEF reservoir in-between the scheduled service, You need to monitor DEF Indicator Tell Tale and symbols/text messages displayed on infotainment screen / Cluster.
MaxiCLEAN DEF is available at all the Mahindra Authorised Dealers in variable packs. Individual DEF Packs may have specific filler neck, for filling DEF in the vehicle. While refilling DEF, Ensure no spillage on the body of self and vehicle to avoid any stains or inconvenience.
Refilling DEF is part of regular maintenance service. DEF consumption is highly dependent on driving conditions/pattern. It may be necessary to refill DEF reservoir in-between the scheduled service, You need to monitor DEF Indicator Tell Tale and symbols/text messages displayed on infotainment screen / Cluster.
MaxiCLEAN DEF is available at all the Mahindra Authorised Dealers in variable packs. Individual DEF Packs may have specific filler neck, for filling DEF in the vehicle. While refilling DEF, Ensure no spillage on the body of self and 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 is not meeting above specification. Further, this may lead to emission
non-compliance and warranty will be void.
| • | Use Genuine DEF MaxiCLEAN always. |
| • | Incase of non-availability of above 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 be more than 20 liters. Overfilling may result in system/component failure. |
| • | DEF quality and purity can be ensured only if it is stored properly. Hence ensure the storage of DEF in cool, dry place between storage. |
| • | Do not add urea to DEF and do not dilute with water. This may cause after treatment system damage. |
| • | 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. |
| • | 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. |
| • | 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. |
5.2.2 Contamination/
Incorrect DEF
In the event that incorrect or contaminated fluid is
filled inside DEF Tank, contact an Mahindra Authorised Dealer to determine
the appropriate repair direction.
5.2.3 Handling of DEF
| • | Ensure that DEF does not come into contact with skin, eyes, or clothing |
| • | Keep DEF out of the reach of children |
| • | In case if any part of the body is in contact with DEF, clean affected area immediately with plenty of water |
| • | If DEF contacted 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. |
| • | Don’t store DEF refill containers inside the vehicle. Ammonia vapors may escape from container which have a pungent odor and are particularly irritating for skin, mucous membranes and eyes. Inhaling ammonia vapors may cause burning eyes, nose and throat, as well as cough and watering eyes. |
| • | When opening the DEF filler cap, ammonia vapors may escape. 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. |
5.2.4 DEF Operating
Condition
DEF will freeze at -11°C (12.2°F). This is 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.
5.2.5 Refilling DEF
Your Vehicle DEF Filler Neck is located near the Fuel
filler Neck. The DEF storage tank is located under the body.
Following below steps to refill the DEF:
 |
1. Park the vehicle on level ground
and switch OFF the ignition.
2. The fuel lid is manually
locked/unlocked from outside by using conventional key.
3. Rotate the DEF filler cap in
anti-clockwise direction and remove.
|
4. Fill DEF from the Container Pack. Each container pack
has unique mouth and filling provision. Ensure utilizing the same
and avoid spillage. Example. 10 Lit. Pack provided with filler tube.
5. Fill DEF as required. Maximum Storage capacity 20
litre. Minimum filling 5.0 liter.
6. Rinse with water or use sponge wetted with water to
clean the components/surfaces in case of 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 DEF Level Low warning is still appearing, Check enough quantity
filled, If still problem persist Contact nearest Mahindra Authorised Dealer immediately.
10. DEF is being monitored through iSmart tool during
regular service at dealership and quantity will be filled accordingly.
It is highly recommended to DEF filling always at
Ignition off condition only
5.3 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 from (Particulate matter) the exhaust gas. Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
is regenerative filter. Regeneration
is triggered automatically according to the driving conditions which burns of the
accumulated particles/soot. In other words,
the active burning by engine control system and high exhaust gas temperature caused by
normal/high driving condition burns
and removes the accumulated soot. The process is called as DPF Active Regeneration.
However, if the vehicle continues to be driven at either of
the following conditions the accumulated soot may not be automatically
removed because of low exhaust gas temperature.
| 1. | Heavy traffic driving conditions, especially in city |
| 2. | Frequent short trips |
| 3. | Low speed for a long time |
When more than a certain amount of soot deposited, the DPF
lamp illuminates.
If the DPF lamp turns ON or Blinking while driving the
vehicle, then it indicates DPF regeneration has not occurred successfully.
At this moment, we suggest DPF regeneration must be done through a specific methodology. The
same is as mentioned below:
|
Take vehicle to highway and drive for
20–30 mins @ speeds above 60 kms/hr until the lamp to turns off
|
|
(or)
Perform DPF Park Regeneration
|
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. |
 |
|
| • | REGEN screen will go OFF if REGEN telltale turns OFF. |
| • | When in the REGEN screen of the drive info menu, long Press OK button to start park regeneration. |
| • | Once regeneration starts, “In Progress” text will appear below REGEN. The engine idle speed will increase indicating regeneration has started.. |
| • | Park Regeneration can take up to 30 minutes to complete. Once completed the REGEN warning lamp in the instrument cluster will turn OFF. The engine’s idling speed also returns to normal |
Park Regeneration
process may not start if CHECK ENGINE LAMP or OBD are ON in the cluster. Take
vehicle to Mahindra authorised
dealer for assistance.
When Park
regeneration is happening do not press the Accelerator, Brake or Clutch pedals as
this will cancel the regeneration
process.
When Park
regeneration is happening, switching off the ignition will cancel the regeneration
process. The park regeneration
process may not start if requested when the engine is switched ON again. Take the
vehicle to highway and drive for 20–30 minutes
@ speeds above 60kms/hr until DPF warning lamp turns OFF
|
(or)
Take
vehicle to Mahindra authorised dealer for assistance
|
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 the DPF system
damage and emission warranty issues.
| • | During the regeneration process, take care the vehicle is not near any flammable materials as you may observe hot emission gases from exhaust pipe. |
| • | In order to avoid burns & personal injury, stay yourself away from exhaust system. |
| • | Follow speed limits & traffic regulations as defined by local jurisdiction while doing forced regeneration. |
5.4 Alerts in Cluster
5.4.1 DPF Alert
|
DPF is clogged
 |
DPF Alert message will appear when
the DPF is clogged. Contact Mahindra Authorised Dealer immediately
for assistance.
|
5.4.2 DEF Alert
Introduction
DEF Tell Tale will get illuminated and relevant messages
will be flashed on 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 is not meeting above specification. Further, this may lead to emission
non-compliance and warranty will be void.
5.4.3 DEF Level

Irrespective of the warning stages, once DEF level is
low, 5.0 liter of DEF needs to be filled. If the warnings continue even
after refill, contact nearest Mahindra Authorised 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 liter. Overfilling may result in system/component failure.
Only Mahindra Authorised Dealer will be able to correctly determine quantity of DEF
present inside tank. Hence if you are
refilling the DEF yourself, fill only 5.0 liter, in case 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 the engine start
restriction.

6 SEATS AND SEAT BELTS
6.1 Driver seat
6.1.1 Sitting in the
Correct Position
Follow the tips below for a comfortable and safe journey;
|
 |
| • | 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 |
| • | 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 top of the steering wheel freely |
| • | Ensure your legs are in a bent position while fully depressing the clutch pedal |
The seat should be adjusted while still maintaining
control of the foot pedals, steering wheel and your view of the instrument
panel controls.
Never adjust the
driver's seat while the vehicle is in motion. The seat may unexpectedly move 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 not in
motion.
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.
6.1.2 Front Seat Slide
|
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.
6.1.3 Front Seat
Recline
|
To adjust the seat back, lift the
recline 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.
When returning a extremely reclined seat back to its
upright position, make sure you support the seat back while operating
the lever.
6.1.4 Driver Seat
Height Adjust (if equipped)
|
Lift/Push the seat height adjustment
lever located on the outboard side of the driver seat to raise/lower
the seat. Adjust
the seat height such that you are able to depress the clutch pedal
completely.
|
 |
It is recommended
to adjust the seat height only when the vehicle is stationary.
6.2 Head Restraint
|
Your vehicle seats are equipped with head
restraints which are vertically adjustable. The purpose of these head
restraints
is to help limit head motion in the event of a collision.
|
 |
Always align top of the head restraint with the top of your
head or as close to it as possible. To raise/lower the head restraint,
press the lock tab and pull/push the restraint up/down.
The head restraint can be pulled out completely by depressing
the locking button while pulling the restraint out. To put it
back, align the head restraint shafts over the holes on the seat top and push the restraint
straight down till you hear the
lock click.
Keep the seat back as upright as possible so the headrest is
behind, not beneath, and almost touching your head.
Never drive with the
head restraints not properly adjusted, head restraints removed or inserted in a
flipped condition. With
no support behind your head, your neck could be seriously injured in a
collision.
6.3 Co-Driver Lift &
Slide seat (If equipped)
|
Step 1 : Pull the shoulder knob to
unlatch the seat
Step 2 : Push the seat to slide forward
|

6.4 Seat Belts
6.4.1 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. Improper wearing 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.
|
| • | The seat belts provided for your vehicle are designed for people of adult size, must be properly used and maintained. |
| • | For usage of adult seat belt to secure children refer to section on 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 moving condition. 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 can be 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 webbing 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 |
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.
|
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 spread the impact forces properly leading to
serious injuries.
Never put 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 thrown from your vehicle |
| • | 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 fastened snug on the hips and as low as possible and the
shoulder strap should be across the child's
shoulder, not the neck or face. If you are unable to position the strap across the
child's shoulder, the child should remain
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.
6.5 Fastening the Seat
Belt
6.5.1 Three Point
type (if equipped)
|
|
 |
Adjust the seat as needed and 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 tongue into the buckle. There will be an audible
“click” 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’s seat belt is not fastened when the ignition is switched ON, the
seat belt warning lamp illuminates. Refer
to ‘Warning Lamps’ in the ‘Features and Control’ chapter for further
details.
6.5.2 Unfastening
the Seat Belt (both 3-Point )
 |
 |
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 you 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.
6.5.3 Driver Seat
Belt Reminder Indication
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 mts or attains 25 kmph
of speed while vehicle is in moving condition which will be ON for 95 Sec
6.5.4 Passenger
Occupant Detection System (PODS) & Seat Belt Reminder Indication
|
PODS system is to detect the
presence of occupant in the seat.
|
 |
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 IP and will be continuous until the
seat belt is buckled. Along with this warning
symbol, a Chime in Cluster will be ON for 95 secs. After market seat covers also may
deteriorate the detection senor performance,
don’t use the non recommended/non authorized seat covers.
If child
presents on passenger seat also seat belt reminder warning symbol lamp will
glow and it is strongly not recommended
to carry children in front seat without child restraint seat and using the
adult seat belt which is provided to use for persons
taller than 140cm. Always ensure Passenger Airbag is turn OFF before you
carry child on passenger seat.
6.6 Child Restraint
System (CRS) Fitment using the seat belt system
6.6.1 Child
Restraint
When carrying infants or small children, an
appropriate child restraint system should always be used. The child restraint
system should be appropriate for your child’s weight and height and properly fit on
the car’s seat. Accident statistics indicate
that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat (if equipped)
rather than in the front seat. If passenger
seat to be use for child carrying then it is mandatory to OFF the Passenger Airbag
by following the instructions and using
options provided (refer the user manual)
If child
presents on passenger seat also seat belt reminder warning symbol lamp will
glow and it is strongly not recommended
to carry children in front seat without child restraint seat and using the
adult seat belt which is provided to use for persons
taller than 140cm. Always ensure Passenger Airbag is turn OFF before you
carry child on passenger seat.
6.6.2 Securing
Methods of Child Restraint System
Child restraint systems are designed to be secured in
vehicle seats by seat belts or the latch system (ISOFIX & Top tether
seat - if equipped).
| • | Infants and tiny children should always be restrained in an infant or child restraint system (CRS). |
| • | Never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat with front passenger airbag ON condition. A child in a rear-facing child restraint installed in the front seat can be seriously injured if the front passenger airbag deploys. Secure a rear-facing child restraint in the rear seat (if equipped). |
| • | A front-facing child restraint should be secured in the rear seat whenever possible. If installed in the front passenger seat, adjust the seat as far back as it will go. When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.. |
| • | When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the vehicle with the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle. |
| • | In a collision an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap can become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are.. |
| • | Do not allow a child in the cargo areas while the vehicle is moving condition. |
| • | If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm or behind their back |
| • | Please note that the three-point seat belt is designed for a person who is taller than 140 cm |
6.6.3 Infant and
Child Safety
Child Seat
Children that are too small to use the seat belts
must be properly secured in a child restraint system (CRS).

6.7 Child Restraint System
(CRS) Installation Using ISOFIX & Top Tether
How to use the ISOFIX
Lower Latch Anchor/ISOFIX Rods
|
 |
| • | The ISOFIX lower latch anchors (rods) are located in rear seats bottom position. Their locations (1) are shown in the illustration |
| • | Insert the child restraint attachments into the ISOFIX lower latch anchors (rods) until it clicks. Refer Child seat installation manual. |
| • | Do not use the seat belt for installing the ISOFIX child restraint |
ISOFIX system is a standardized method of fitting child seats
that eliminates the need to use the standard adult seatbelt
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 “ISOFIX” 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
|
There are two top tether rods/rear
anchors on the seat base back side of the rear row front facing seats.
|
 |
| 1. | Remove the headrest from the rear row seat |
| 2. | Place the child restraint on the rear row seat |
| 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 ISOFIX 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 ISOFIX 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. |
| • | Do not install the child restraint of such size if it hinders the operations of front seat which may cause problem to front occupants. |
