1.3 General Safety Information and
Instructions
Failure to follow the
warnings and
instructions provided in this manual could result in failure of the vehicle, an accident
and/or serious personal injury.
| 1. | Carefully read, understand and follow the warnings and instructions given in this manual. This manual is an essential part of the product. Keep it in the vehicle’s glove box for future reference. |
| 2. | First-aid kit placed in the glove box of the vehicle. Ensure it is not taken out of the vehicle at any point in time. |
| 3. | Please note that throughout this manual, reference is made that “an accident” could occur. An accident could cause you or a bystander to sustain personal injury, or result in property damage. |
| 4. | Never use a mobile phone or any device with headphone while driving. This may take your focus off the road and lead to accidents. |
| 5. | Please be advised that many service and repair tasks require specialised knowledge, tools and experience. General mechanical aptitude may not be sufficient to properly service or repair your vehicle. If you have any doubt whatsoever regarding the ability to properly service or repair your vehicle, please contact your Authorised Mahindra Dealer or a qualified technician. |
| 6. | Inspect the seat belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays or wear in the seat belt webbing, or loose buckles, retractors, anchors or other loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. |
| 7. | Always start and operate the engine in a well-ventilated area. If in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside. Do not modify or tamper with the exhaust system. |
| 8. | Examine tyres for excessive tread wear and uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread and check sidewalls for any cuts, cracks, or other signs of wear. Replace as necessary. |
| 9. | Always maintain the safety labels affixed to your vehicle in a good legible condition. |
| 10. | All signal lamps, buzzers, shields, guards and other protective safety devices must always remain in place and in good, proper working condition. |
| 11. | The lifespan of Mahindra products depend on many factors. Improper use, abuse or harsh use in general may compromise the integrity of the vehicle and significantly reduce its lifespan. The vehicle is also subject to wear over a period of time. Please have your vehicle regularly inspected by an Authorised Mahindra Dealer or a qualified mechanic. If the inspection reveals any damage or excessive wear, immediately replace or have the component serviced. |
| 12. | We recommend that you use only genuine parts supplied by Mahindra. The use of non-Mahindra parts will not be covered by warranty. |
| 13. | Never crawl under or be in close proximity to the vehicle when it is lifted off the ground (by a jack), unless the vehicle is properly supported with jack stands, wheel chocks and other appropriate safety devices. |
| 14. | Never attempt any repairs or adjustments to any component while the vehicle is in motion. Always switch off the engine, and wait for the engine to come to a complete stop before performing any repairs or adjustments. |
| 15. | The vehicle identification plates are the only legal identification reference, hence it is necessary to keep them in good condition. Never modify data on the plates or remove them. The customer is responsible for any possible tampering with the plates, which will immediately void the warranty. |
| 16. | Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt manoeuvres, or other unsafe driving actions that can cause loss of vehicle control. When the vehicle is fully loaded, drive at a slow speed, especially when turning. Note that the centre of gravity of the vehicle changes when the vehicle is fully loaded, and also if luggage is mounted on the roof carrier. |
1.4 To Owners of a Mahindra Vehicle
When first driving the vehicle after long periods of non-use, you
may
experience a temporary drive disturbance. This is a
characteristic of the tyres and should be no reason for concern. The condition should correct
itself
within 5-15 kms. of driving.
If the disturbance persists, have the tyres checked by an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
Driving and Alcohol
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired by alcohol even if
the
blood alcohol level is far below the legal minimum.
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.
Never drink and drive.
Drinking
and driving will lead to an accident resulting in serious personal injury.
Driving and
Drugs/Medication
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired through the use of
prescription or non-prescription drugs or medication (even
cough syrup). If you are taking any sort of drug or medication, be sure that it will not affect
your
driving ability.
Mobile Phones Warning
Use of electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers,
portable
radios or other by the driver while driving is dangerous.
In exceptional condition, if use of a mobile phone is necessary despite this warning, use a
handsfree
system to ensure that
the hands are free to drive the vehicle. Even handsfree do not ensure that due to distraction an
accident
will not happen.
Please comply with the legal regulations concerning the use of
communication equipment in vehicles in your country.
Driving Long Distances
When you are driving over long distances, follow these tips so
that you
have a safe journey:
| • | Lack of sleep or fatigue will impact your ability to drive safely |
| • | Exercise your eyes by shifting the focus of your eyes to different parts of the road |
| • | Use stimulating beverages such as coffee or tea |
| • | Relax and stay calm |
| • | Take breaks at regular intervals |
Protecting Our
Environment
All of us should play our part in protecting our environment.
Judicious
vehicle usage and ensuring hazardous waste disposal
(including cleaning and lubrication fluids) are important steps towards this initiative.
Mahindra vehicles conform to existing emission norms (standards).
Adhering to the periodical maintenance schedule and using
Mahindra genuine parts will help retain emission performance of the vehicle and is a pre-requisite
for
emissions warranty
coverage.
Servicing
If you have any questions concerning the proper use or maintenance
of
your vehicle, please call your Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
A list of dealers can be found in the Dealer Directory Supplement or on the Internet.
Alternatively, you can contact us on 1800-209-6006 / customercare@mahindra.com.
Running-in
Driving smoothly during first 1,000 kms. will help to prevent
abnormal
and premature system wear. Proper running-in will improving
the life of drivetrain and vehicle components.
A new engine may consume more oil during the first 1,000 kms. of
running.
This should be considered as a normal part of break-in
and not interpreted as any problem with the engine.
Mahindra Genuine Parts
Mahindra uses high quality parts for building the vehicles.
In the event that any parts need replacement, we recommend that you
use
only Mahindra genuine parts.
Non-Mahindra parts may harm vehicle performance and will not be
covered
by your Mahindra warranty.

genuine parts are packed in a branded carton. Look for
the “Mahindra Genuine Parts” logo.

modifications or
alterations to this vehicle or failure to use appropriate specification and quality spare
parts could seriously affect vehicle roadworthiness and safety leading to an accident,
resulting in
serious injury.

2.4 Fuses & Relays
A fuse is the most common 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.
Switch the ignition and all electrical equipment OFF before
touching or
attempting to change a fuse.
The replacement fuse rating
should
be the same as the one you are replacing.
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.
Fuse puller is available at both Engine compartment and
Instrument
panel fuse boxes.
|
|
2.4.1 Engine Compartment Fuse
Box
Engine compartment fuse box is located adjacent to vehicle
battery.
To open the fuse box cover press the lock on engine side and
push the
cover back and lift it.
Spare fuses are provided in the fuse box for replacement of
blown
fuses. Ensure the correct rating fuse is replaced with the
blown fuse.

2.4.3 Battery Mounted Fuse Box
The battery mounted fuse box is connected to the positive
terminal of
the battery. Functionality of this battery mounted fuse
box is to provide short circuit protection to alternator, power supply to engine compartment
fuse box
and also to the EPS
motor.
Battery mounted fuse box consists of following fuses:
In the above image– 80 amp (Pos D) fuse connects to engine room
fuse
box.
150 amps (Pos B) fuse connects to alternator B positive.
80 amps (Pos A) fuse connects to EPS motor.
2.5 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. Risk of being 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;
2.5.1 Tool Kit
The tool kit is located in under the second row right side seat.
The tool kit consists of the following tools packed in a PVC
tool bag:
| • | Screw Driver |
| • | Jack Operating Lever |
| • | Tow Bar |
| • | DEO Spanner 10mm x 12mm |
| • | Wheel Spanner |

Jack is located on the left side of the luggage compartment. To
remove
the Jack out follow the below process:
| • | Fold the 3rd row Left side seat and pull out the trim cover snaps as shown in the illustration |
| • | Unstrap the Velcro which holds the jack
|
| • | Lift the jack upwards inside the trim |
| • | Slide the bottom of jack towards out of the
trim and
take out.
|
2.5.2 Spare Wheel Removal
Spare wheel is located below the floor at the rear end of the
vehicle.
It is held in place by a securing nut underneath the
rear luggage compartment floor carpet.
Follow the below steps to remove the Spare wheel from vehicle:
| • | Locate the plug covering the securing nut on the rear end panel trim. |
| • | Remove the plug using flat screw driver or a
coin by
rotating in anti-clockwise direction
|
| • | Rotate and Loosen the securing nut counter
clockwise
to winch down/lower the secured spare wheel to the ground
|
| • | Remove the securing bracket by tilting it and
take
out of the spare wheel hub
|
| • | Remove/pull away the spare wheel out of vehicle |
2.5.3 Wheel Nut Loosening
Center Wheel Cap (If
applicable) - Remove the wheel cap by inserting the flat screw driver in the slot
provided
in wheel cap .
Full Wheel Cover (If
applicable) - Remove the full wheel cover by pulling the lugs of the wheel cover.
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.
Always loosen the wheel nuts before raising the vehicle. Turn
the
wheel nuts counter clockwise to loosen. To get maximum leverage,
fit the spanner to the nut so that the handle is on the right 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 the wheel nuts.
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.
2.6 Jack Points
Front jack up point - On
the
chassis long member behind the front wheels.
Rear jack up point - On
the
chassis long member in front side of rear wheels.
|
|
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.
|

|
Flat Tyre
|
B
|
Chock Blocks
|
To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle into the jack and
rotate
it clockwise with the wheel spanner(Insert the slot
provided in wheel spanner and jack handle end). 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 jack 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 with the bolts. Lift the wheel and hand tighten the top wheel nut. Wiggle
the
wheel and press it back
over the other bolts.
Re-instal the wheel nuts 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 nut spanner slip,
damage
the bolts 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.
Rotate the jack handle anti clockwise using the wheel spanner to
lower
the vehicle, making sure the handle remains firmly
fitted onto the wheel spanner. Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the diagonally opposite
wheel
nuts using the wheel
nut spanner. 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, re-torque 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
re-instal 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 instal it as soon as possible.
Wheel balancing and Wheel Alignment to be done after tyre
puncture
rework.
Steering centering
calibration
(Steering Angle Sensor) to be performed if you have done Wheel Alignment, repaired,
changed your tyres or changed the wheel rims. Contact an Authorised
Mahindra Dealer for assistance.
2.7 Restore all the Tools, Jack and
Flat
Tyre Securely
Restore the tools and Jack in their respective storage locations.
Jack Re-fitment:
| • | Insert the jack by sliding the top portion inside the trim |
| • | Lift the jack upwards inside the trim |
| • | Tighten the Strap of the Velcro with the jack |
| • | Fix the trim cover and unfold the 3rd row left seat |
Align the spare wheel bracket to the centre hub of the wheel. Winch
up
the flat tyre to the floor at the rear of the vehicle.
Firmly tighten the securing nut and refit the plug on the rear end panel trim.
|
|
Double check to ensure the tyre is snug against the rear floor of
the
vehicle. The spare wheel bracket/cable may be damaged
if the vehicle is driven with the spare wheel loosely mounted.
Drive slowly to the nearest service station and inflate to the
correct
pressure. Always reinstall the valve cap after checking
or adjusting tyre pressure, dirt and moisture could get into the valve core and cause air leakage
or
valve damage.
Replace the original tyre once punture/rework done. Provided
spare
wheel in the vehicle should be used only as temporary.
2.8 Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN)

5 EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
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 authorized Mahindra 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 authorized Mahindra 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 authorized M&M 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. | 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 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 Authorized Mahindra Dealer immediately. |
| 10. | DEF is being monitored through iSmart tool during regular service at dealership and quantity will be filled accordingly. |
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 |
If the DPF and REGEN lamp turns ON 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.

6 SEATS AND SEAT BELTS
6.1 Front Seats
6.1.1 Sitting in Correct Position
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 |
| • | 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 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

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.
6.1.4 Front Seat Lumbar
Adjustment
(if equipped)

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.
Head restraints are provided
for
Front row, Second row and Third row outboard occupants.
6.3 Second Row Captain Seats (if
equipped)
Loading luggage on the seats is
dangerous. The luggage can become a projectile that could hit and injure passengers in a sudden
stop or collision. Luggage should always be kept on the floor.

6.6 Seat Belts
6.6.1 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 minimise 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 armrest, 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
system
|
| • | Passengers should not move out of or change seats while the vehicle is moving. A passenger who is not wearing a seat belt can be thrown against the inside of the vehicle, against other occupants, or out of the vehicle during a crash or emergency stop |
| • | 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 Authorised Mahindra 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.
6.6.2 Fastening the Seat Belt
(3-Point type)
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 “Features and
Control” chapter for further
details.
6.6.3 Unfastening the Seat Belt
(Both 3-Point & 2-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 tab and may cause damage
to the buckle mechanism, thereby making the seat belt ineffective in an accident, resulting
in
serious personal injury.
6.6.4 Seat Belt Warning Lamp
The co driver telltale lamp is on centre console.
6.7 Seating Positions for Child
Restraint
System (CRS)
Use a child restraint system only if the child is not big enough to
properly wear the seat belts. Else, use the regular seat
belt instead of the child restraint system. Make child to seat in the rear seat and use the child
anchor
or seat belt. According
to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front
seat. Always secure
a child in a proper child restraint system in accordance with age and size of the child as recommended
by
the child restraint
system manufacturer
Do not allow children to stand
up
or kneel on either the rear or the front seats. An unrestrained child could suffer serious
injuries during emergency braking or collision.
It is also not recommended that
children travel sitting on your lap as it does not provide sufficient restraint.

7 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
and 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 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.
7.1 Airbags
Your vehicle is equipped with the following airbags:
| • | A frontal airbag for the driver in Steering wheel
hub
 |
| • | A frontal airbag for the front passenger in the
passenger side instrument panel
 |
They are indicated by “AIRBAG” embossed on the covers.
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.
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.
7.2 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 “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.
|
|
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.
7.3 Passenger Airbag Switch
|
A
|
ON/Activated
|
B
|
OFF/Deactivated
|
Passenger airbag (PAB) can be switched OFF/deactivated manually by
ignition key when there is no passenger in co-driver seat
or if any child sitting on co-driver seat.
PAB ON/OFF switch is located on the left side surface of the
instrument
panel.
| • | Customer should deactivate when there is no passenger
in
co-driver seat or if any child sitting on co-driver seat |
| • | When switch is in OFF condition tell-tale will be ON on IP switch bank and message will come in cluster only high and high plus variants |
| • | Once the PAB is made off, If customer wants to
activate
again then PAB deactivation switch to made ON manually by using key
|
| • | To operate the switch vehicle key should be used |
7.4 Airbag System Malfunction Lamp
Airbags do not require any regular maintenance of service. The airbag
system malfunction lamp illuminates when the ignition
is ON, and it turns OFF after about 3 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 Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
| • | The lamp does not glow when the ignition is switched ON or glows beyond six (6) secs. 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 your 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 Authorised Mahindra
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 Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
Even if the airbags do not deploy during an accident, take your
vehicle
to an Authorised Mahindra 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.
7.5 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 fraction of a second, 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. If you can safely exit the vehicle, you should do so
immediately.
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 with any object (e.g. dash panel 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.
The driver or front passenger who is too close to the steering
wheel
or dashboard can be seriously injured during airbag deployment.
| • | 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 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 |
7.6 Child Restraint and Airbag
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger’s
seat.
If the airbag deploys, injuries to the child may
be fatal.
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.
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 ISOFIX.
Always Buckle Children (ABC) in
the back seat. It is the safest place for children of any age to ride.
7.7 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
Front airbag are designed to inflate in a frontal collision depending
on
the intensity, speed or angles of impact of the front
collision.
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 -
 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.
|
| • | Under-ride
Situations -
 Running under a truck's may not provide the
decelerations
necessary for airbag deployment. Airbags will not inflate in this
“under-ride” situation where deceleration forces that are detected by sensors are
significantly low.
Rear-end Collisions
-
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.
 |
| • | Frontal Impact
-
Frontal impact beyond 30º range from head-on to the
vehicle.
 |
| • | Potholes or
Stepped
Surfaces -
Driving into a big pothole, stepped surface or hitting
the
far side of a hole/incline will not inflate the airbag.
 |
| • | Rollover
-
 Airbags will not inflate in rollover accidents where
airbag deployment would not provide protection to the occupants.
Frontal Side Swipe
Impact -
 Frontal offset impact to the vehicle may not provide
the
deceleration force necessary for airbag deployment. 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.
|
7.8 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 Authorised Mahindra Dealer for
inspection and repairs.
7.9 Self Removing SRS Related Parts
Self removing the instrument panel, steering wheel, seat belts or
airbag
related parts or sensors is not recommended. Airbags
could accidentally activate and cause serious injuries, or they may not deploy when there is a need.
Visit an Authorised Mahindra
Dealer if these parts must be removed.
7.10 Airbag Disposal
Improper disposal of an airbag or a vehicle with live airbags can be
extremely dangerous. Approach an Authorised Mahindra
Dealer to do these jobs.

9.13 Micro Hybrid Technology (Engine
Stop/Start System(ESS)) (If applicable)
|
Overview of the
System
|
|
9.13.1 How Does the ESS Work?
Let’s take a simple example of driving in traffic conditions within
your city. Assume that your vehicle has stopped at a traffic
junction due to a red signal. The following steps illustrate how the system functions.
| • | The vehicle has come to a halt at a traffic signal, is in the neutral gear and the clutch pedal is released |
| • | The ‘ESS’ lamp in the cluster will blink
indicating
that the engine is going to stop shortly. The engine will shut down automatically
after a specific time period
|
| • | The ‘ESS’ lamp will illuminate in the instrument cluster indicating the engine was stopped by the ESS system. |
| • | Once the signal turns green, press the clutch pedal and the engine starts immediately |
| • | The indicator in the cluster goes OFF indicating that the engine has started again and you are ready to drive on |
For auto stop to happen the
following major conditions are to be met
| • | ESS system is in active condition by default and can be turned off using the selection switch. |
| • | Bonnet is fully closed |
| • | In the current ignition cycle, the vehicle has crossed 2 kmph at least once |
| • | Current status of the engine is idling |
| • | Vehicle speed is zero |
| • | Accelerator pedal and clutch pedal are fully released |
| • | Vehicle battery should be in healthy condition |
| • | Engine is warm. This is an extra precaution to ensure safe working of the engine |
| • | Gear is in neutral |
For auto start to happen the
following major conditions are to be
| • | Vehicle should have been stopped by the ESS system |
| • | Gear lever is in the neutral position |
| • | Vehicle speed is zero |
| • | ESS switch is in active mode |
| • | Bonnet should be closed |
| • | Clutch pedal is fully pressed (to restart) |

11 REVERSE PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (RPAS)
(if equipped)
(if equipped)
Reverse parking assistance system is provided to aid the driver while
parking the vehicle in reverse at a speed of less than
5kmph.
While reversing, RPAS will detect the obstacles at the rear side of the
vehicle within the sensing zone, which cannot be viewed
through the internal rear view mirror and the outside rear view mirrors.
The RPAS will then alert the driver by sending out sound alarms at
different
frequency to indicate proximity of the obstacle
from the vehicle.
The alert sound level is proportional to the distance.
Lesser the distance, shorter the interval between beeps.
11.1 RPAS Sensors
Four RPAS sensors are located at the rear bumper to assist driver for
hassle-free parking.
Magnetic devices present in the
detection range could vastly affect the sensor performance and the distance displayed may
not be accurate.
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.
11.2 Driving and Operation
| • | RPAS 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 |
Activation & De-activation of
RPAS
| • | The vehicle should be in IGN ON state to activate the reverse parking assistance system |
| • | RPAS will be activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged and deactivate when reverse gear is disengaged |
| • | When the obstacles come in the sensing range, the systems start 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 |
11.3 RPAS Information on Infotainment
RPAS display on the infotainment screen gives the following
information:
| • | Left Corner zone indicates obstacle on left side |
| • | Left Centre zone indicates obstacle left centre side |
| • | Right Centre zone indicates obstacle on right centre side |
| • | Right Corner zone indicates obstacle on right side |
12 bars in centre and 8 bars in corner indicate how close the obstacle
is
from the vehicle rear bumper, with bar 1 being very
close and bar 12 being distant.
Centre sensor coverage range is 120 cm and corner sensor coverage
range
is 80 cm
11.4 Operation of RPAS
| 1. | Start the vehicle (IGN is turned ON) |
| 2. | Change the gear to reverse (engage the reverse
gear).The
RPAS will be displayed as like below in the infotainment screen.
|
| 3. | Start moving the vehicle in the reverse direction |
| 4. | Display bars in the respective direction will glow
according to obstacles in its path
|
| 5. | Distance indicator will display the distance in multiples of 2 cm, whichever is shortest |
| 6. | The Beep sound can be heard from the driver side speaker. Frequency of the beep will increase if obstacle comes closer (crossing each display bar) and the sound will be continuous if any of the obstacle is less than 50 cm. |
| 7. | The RPAS distance displayed will be the minimum of distances sensed by left and right sensors. And 120 cm is the maximum detection range. |
For Example:
Assume 2 obstacles are placed as mentioned below:
| • | Obstacle at left at 76 cm |
| • | Obstacle at right at 98 cm |
On engaging the gear in reverse, infotainment will display as below:
Since obstacle is at 76 cm in right - minimum distance is shown in the
distance indicator.
Along with this beep sound can be heard from driver side speaker.
Frequency of the beep will increase if obstacle comes closer
and the sound will be continuous if any of the obstacles is less than 50 cm.
11.5 Pay Attention
| 1. | If display bars in any one of the sides are displayed
with cross marks, contact an Authorised Mahindra Dealer
|
| 2. | If all display bars are displayed with cross marks,
contact an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
|
| 3. | Obstacle in the blind zone cannot be sensed by the
system.
|
| 4. | Please check the condition of the obstacle behind
your
vehicle before reversing. In some cases, the display may be not as
same as reality due to the installed sensor level, obstacle shape and reflection
condition.
|
| 5. | Point B will be detected sooner or later, but A may
not
be detected at all.
|
| 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.
|
| 7. | The distance indication may move up and down due to
different sizes of the obstacle at different positions.
|
| 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.
|
| 9. | The obstacle of a conical shape may not be detected,
since the ultrasonic waves get reflected away.
|
11.6 Limitations of RPAS
| • | 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 RPAS |
| • | System performance is dependent on the reflection angle of the obstacle |
| • | System may give false alert without obstacles while 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:
|
| • | 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 |
11.7 Reverse Parking Assistance
System
(RPAS) - Type-2 (if equipped)
Activation & de-activation of
RPAS
| • | The Vehicle should be in IGN ON state to activate the Parking assistance system |
| • | RPAS will be activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged |
| • | RPAS will be deactivated when reverse gear is disengaged or IGN OFF |
| • | When the obstacles come in the sensing range, the system starts giving the alert beeps. |
The frequency of RPAS Alert beeps will increase as the obstacle comes
closer to the vehicle and when the obstacle comes very
close to the vehicle the alert beeps will become continuous
Operation of RPAS
| 1. | Start the vehicle. |
| 2. | Change the gear from neutral to reverse for RPAS alerts. Self-check beep will come from RPAS buzzer to indicate RPAS system activation. |
| 3. | Start moving the vehicle in reverse direction. |
| 4. | The alert beeps will become more rapid as the vehicle approaches the obstacle. |
| 5. | The Beep sound can be heard from Instrument cluster. Frequency of the beep will increase if obstacle comes closer and the sound will be continuous if any of the obstacle is less than 50 cm. |
Pay Attention:.
If there is no self-check beep from RPAS Buzzer after Reverse gear,
contact an Authorised Mahindra Dealer
If there is only 3 second continuous beep coming from RPAS Buzzer
after
Reverse gear, contact an Authorised Mahindra Dealer
12 REAR VIEW CAMERA (RVC) (if equipped)

against the Parking Slot Lines, to know if our vehicle placement is in
line with the parking slot lines. Dynamic Guidelines indicate the path the vehicle
will
traverse with the current steering
angle.
|
| • | Dynamic Guidelines indicate the path the vehicle will traverse with the current steering angle |
This will help the driver in adjusting the steering, so that the
vehicle
does not hit any obstacles on its way.
Colour coding on the dynamic lines help in assessing the distance of
the
obstacles from the vehicles’ rear. In the RVC Video,
if the Red coloured section of the Dynamic Line falls on the object, then the Object is within 1
metre
distance from the vehicle’s
rear. Likewise Yellow indicates 1-2 mts, Green indicates 2-5 mts.

or consequential damage caused by this system.
13 STEERING AND BRAKES
13.1 Steering
Your vehicle is equipped with an Electric power steering system (EPS).
There is no fluid reservoir to check or fill. EPS uses
energy from the battery to decrease the driver's effort in steering the vehicle. The EPS 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.
When driving in rough/off
roads,
hold the steering wheel rim, do not hold the wheel spokes. A sudden bump can jerk/turn the
wheel and injure your hand. This may also lead to loss of vehicle control.
The EPS warning light should
only
be illuminated with the ignition ON before starting the engine.
If the warning light remains
illuminated after the engine has been started, there will be no assistance from power steering.
The vehicle may be driven using the mechanical steering system although it is not recommended as
the effort to turn the steering
wheel will be significantly high. In this case, contact an Authorised Mahindra Dealer
immediately.
Keep both hands on the steering wheel, with the thumbs resting on
the
outer wheel rim.
To help prevent damage to the power steering motor:
| • | Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme right or the extreme left for more than a few secs. when the engine is running |
If the Electric power steering
system breaks down (or if the engine is turned 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 |
| • | SAS (Steering Angle Sensor) calibration |
| • | Wheels out of balance |
| • | Loose or worn suspension components |
13.1.1 Tilt Steering
The steering wheel can be adjusted for rake as required using the
lever in the steering shroud under the steering wheel.
To tilt/adjust the steering wheel:
| 1. | Pull the tilt lever down to unlock.
|
| 2. | Raise or lower the steering wheel to the desired position. |
| 3. | 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.
13.2 Steering Controls - Audio (if
equipped)
The steering wheel also houses switches to control the main audio
functions.

13.3 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, pump the brake pedal mildly while driving to
remove the film of water
from the brake pads.
Brake pads feature mechanical wear indicator. When the brake pad is
worn,
metallic squeal noise is heard indicating the pad
wear. Have them replaced immediately.
Driving with wet brakes is
dangerous. Stopping distance increases considerably when braking.
Dry the brakes by driving at
very
slow speed and applying the brakes lightly until the brake performance becomes normal.
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.
13.3.1 Parking on a Hill/Incline
If you have to park facing uphill, select first gear and turn the
front wheels away from the kerb. If you have to park 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.
13.3.2 Parking Brake
To apply the parking brake, hold and pull the park brake lever up
as
firmly as possible. When the parking brake is applied
with the ignition ON, the 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 bottom of the lever and lower the
parking brake lever completely.
The 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 gear lever to 1st gear. 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.
| • | The parking brake should be adjusted as per recommended maintenance schedule |
| • | 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 |
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.
13.4 Hazard on Panic Braking
Hazard lamps are turned on automatically, upon panic braking when the
vehicle speed is greater than 100 kmph. Hazard Lamps
will flash for 5 secs. to indicate oncoming traffic.
13.5 Hazard Activation Upon Crash
Hazard lamps are turned on automatically in case of an unfortunate
event
of an accident where Airbags are deployed. In such
a scenario, the hazard lamps will be on for 30 min or it can be turned off by operating Hazard switch
(Off to On) or Ignition
reset (Ignition Off and On)
Once activated hazard remains on for 30 minutes by default
Deactivation
| • | 30 minutes since activation is elapsed |
| • | Hazard switch On to Off transition is made |
| • | IGN turned Off and again turned On |
13.6 Vehicle Breakdown Warning
In case of a brake down, hazards would be turned on automatically to
indicate oncoming traffic. This feature will come into
action upon opening the bonnet when vehicle speed is less than 5 kmph.
13.7 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.
The ABS warning lamp lights up when you switch ON the ignition and
should
go out after a few secs. 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 Authorised
Mahindra 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 pitted or 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 assist with vehicle control.
13.8 Electronic Brake Force
Distribution (EBD)
(if equipped)
(if equipped)
EBD, as a subsystem of the ABS system, controls the effective adhesion
utilisation of the rear wheels. EBD aids in distributing
the brake forces more evenly leading to better vehicle stability during braking.
Typically, the front end carries more weight and EBD distributes less
braking pressure to the rear brakes avoiding a lock
up/skid.
For example, under light loads EBD applies less effort to the rear
brakes
and for heavy loads it allows full braking effort
to the rear wheels.
A fault with EBD is indicated by illumination of the brake as well as
ABS
warning lamps. The vehicle should be examined as
soon as possible by an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
14 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 HVAC control panel, located on centre console, occupant’s comfort can be ensured. HVAC
system also helps in
defrosting and 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 inlet of
HVAC blower.
Engine coolant is
utilised
to heat the cabin air. For cooling the cabin air, an air-condititioning circuit based on the vapour
compression refrigeration cycle is used. The air-condititioning 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 colourless and has
ethereal or faint sweetish odour. 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.

Hot Air
|
By operating the temperature control knob, temperature of air being
discharged from various vents can be adjusted to the desired
level. Engine coolant is utilised to heat, whereas the air-conditioner is used to cool the air inside
the
AC unit. Based upon
selected position of the temperature control dial, the desired discharged air temperature can be
obtained.
By rotating the dial counter-clockwise and setting it to the extreme
left
position, cool air is discharged.
When the dial is rotated clockwise, the discharged air progressively
starts getting warmer.
By rotating the dial further in the clockwise direction and setting it
to
the extreme right position, hot air is discharged.
14.4 Blower Speed Control
The controls differ depending on the variant (Automatic or Manual
Climate
Control).
For Automatic Climate Control
Variants
Blower force-circulates air through the HVAC unit and distributes it
throughout the passenger compartment.
To increase the blower speed, rotate the control dial clockwise (B)
and
to reduce the blower speed, rotate the dial counter
clockwise (A).
The same is also indicated in the infotainment screen (in Automatic
Climate Control equipped vehicles).
The blower speed control dial
is
also used to switch ON the blower alone when needed. Use the OFF button on the switch bank
to switch OFF the blower.
This blower speed control does
not
control the air flow to third row vents.
The blower OFF button turns the blower OFF. This in turn switches OFF
the
AC also.
The blower alone can be
switched
ON by rotating the blower control dial.
For Manual Climate Control
Variants
Blower force-circulates air through the HVAC unit and distributes it
throughout the passenger compartment.
To increase the blower speed, rotate the control dial clockwise (B)
and
to reduce the blower speed, rotate the dial counter
clockwise (A).
To switch OFF the blower, rotate the dial to “0”.
Second and Third Row Blower Speed
Control
A blower control is provided on the HVAC module mounted on Roof. This
vent is to control the air flow to the third row vents.
Second and third row AC is
switched ON by the Rear AC button on the central switch bank. The airflow is controlled by the
blower control on the Roof mounted blower unit.
14.5 Economy Button (ECon)
|
|
ECON switch turns ON economy mode. During ECON AC operation, the
system
automatically cuts OFF at a higher temperature than
normal AC. The operation can be used during mild weather conditions for better fuel efficiency.
Comfort
level may be compromised
during this operation.
LED on the button indicates the status of the button. Press the ECON
switch again to turn OFF economy mode.
14.6 Air-Conditioner ON (AC ON)
|
|
This button turns the air-conditioner ON or OFF. Adjust the
temperature
control dial as per the temperature requirement. LED
on the button indicates the status. Push the button to turn ON/OFF the AC.
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 |
14.7 Re-circulation Mode
|
|
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 utilised 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
the cabin 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 are more likely to become foggy. Hence, never drive in
recirculation mode
for long, shift back to fresh air mode as soon as possible.
Never keep recirculation mode
selected continuously for long. 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.
14.8 Fresh Air Mode
Automatic Climate Control
To set the HVAC system to fresh air mode, press the fresh air mode
button. The LED on this button illuminates, indicating
that fresh air mode is active.
In this intake mode, fresh air from outside the vehicle is sucked by
the
blower and utilised further to ventilate/cool/heat
the cabin.
Manual Climate Control
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.
14.9 Rear AC
The rear AC provides cooling for the second and third row AC vents.
LED
on the button indicates the status.
The rear AC can be switched ON
only when the AC button (front/second row AC) is ON.
14.10 Auto Mode (Automatic Climate
Control only)
The auto mode can be used to control the complete air-conditioning
operation of the vehicle automatically. The auto mode controls
blower fan speeds, air intake mode, temperature and modes (vents) based on the set temperature.
All the air-conditioning
operations can also be controlled manually as explained in the previous sections.
14.11 Air Distribution Mode Button
Air distribution mode button allows you to select the below air flow
patterns:
| • | Face Mode |
| • | Face and Floor Mode |
| • | Floor Mode |
| • | Floor Defrost Mode |
| • | Defrost Mode |
Depending on the variant, the operation of air distribution mode
changes.
For Automatic Climate
Control

14.12 Rapid Cabin Cooling
For rapid cooling of the cabin, the following AC settings are
recommended:
| 1. | Make sure that all the windows are fully closed |
| 2. | Set the blower to maximum speed |
| 3. | Fully open the vents and adjust louvres to direct air toward face |
| 4. | Set the air distribution control to face mode |
| 5. | Set air intake control to fresh air mode |
| 6. | Turn the air-conditioner ON |
| 7. | Set the temperature control dial to extreme left (coolest) position |
For faster cabin cooling, you can select re-circulated air intake mode
initially. Once passenger compartment reaches a comfortable
temperature, shift to fresh air mode. Also blower speed and temperature control knob can be
re-adjusted
as desired.
If your vehicle was parked in
the
hot sun with all the windows closed, drive the vehicle with windows open for the first few
minutes. This will help in venting the hot interior air out and allow the air-conditioner to
cool
the cabin quickly.
14.13 Rapid Cabin Heating
For rapid heating of the cabin, the following AC settings are
recommended:
| 1. | Make sure that all the windows are fully closed |
| 2. | Set the blower to maximum speed |
| 3. | Set the air distribution control to foot mode |
| 4. | Set air intake control to fresh air mode |
| 5. | Set the temperature control dial to extreme right (hot) position |
| 6. | For de-humidified heating, switch the air-conditioner ON |
For faster cabin heating, you can select re-circulated air intake mode
initially. Once passenger compartment reaches a comfortable
temperature, blower speed and temperature control knob can be re-adjusted as desired.
In extreme cold weather
conditions, the engine coolant takes time to get heated up. Hence, it might take a while for hot
air
discharge, even when blower is running and temperature control dial is set to hot
position.
14.14 Front Windshield
Defogging/De-misting
Front windshield glass defogger switch is located on the blower speed
control dial in the central switch bank. Press the switch
once to activate the defogger. The lamp on the switch illuminates upon activation. AC is turned ON
automatically (if the AC
was in OFF condition).
| • | Air is discharged through the windshield defroster vents and side defroster vents. |
| • | Fresh air mode enabled, to reduce the humidity inside the cabin (If recirculation mode was active before pressing the front defogger switch, system is switched to fresh air mode automatically). |
| • | Blower speed is increased to SPEED 3, if the blower speed was below speed 3 prior pressing the front defogger switch (No change to blower speed if the prior blower speed was 3 or higher before pressing the front defogger switch). |
| • | Temperature of the air coming out of defrost vents shall be as per the user set temperature. |
| • | Press front defog switch again to TURN-OFF the front defogging as soon as the fog /frost is cleared. (All setting reverts back to the one which was used before selecting the defogger mode). |
14.15 Rear Windshield
Defogging/De-misting
Rear windshield glass defogger switch is located on the temperature
control dial in the central switch bank. Press the switch
once to activate the defogger. The lamp on the switch illuminates upon activation and the defogger
heats
the rear windshield
clearing the fog / frost.
Switch OFF the defogger by pressing the switch once as soon as the fog
/
frost is cleared.
If the windshield defogger switch is not switched OFF manually, it
will
turn OFF automatically after a pre-defined time, based
on ambient temperature.
If you want to switch the defogger ON again, press the defogger switch
again.
On second and subsequent activations of the rear windshield defogger
in
the same ignition cycle, the defogger ON time will
be half the duration of the first activation.
14.16 Points to Remember
| • | For quickly defogging/de-misting/defrosting outside of 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 windshield with the defroster 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/defrosting 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/defrosting. If cooling effect seems to have dropped considerably, get the air-conditioning system checked by an Authorised Mahindra 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 Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
Never operate HVAC system with
the
filter removed. This may result in premature failure of system components.
15 STARTING AND DRIVING THE VEHICLE
15.1 Safety
Tips
- Before Starting Your Vehicle
General
| • | Before starting the vehicle, inspect the inside and outside of the vehicle; look for any damages, leaks, loose parts, foreign objects/debris. Contact an Authorised Mahindra Dealer if required |
| • | Before starting your journey, check the working of all safety devices/components especially brakes, steering, lamps, signals and tyres. In case you suspect any system/devices are not working properly, contact Authorised Mahindra Dealer |
| • | 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 |
The Engine Management System
controls the engine's idle speed. 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 rearview mirror and both the ORVM’s are adjusted for
an
unobstructed view of the road behind.
Exterior Lamps
Have 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 an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
15.2 Starting the Engine
Make sure all vehicle occupants are properly seated in their seats
and
have buckled their safety belts. For more information
on seat, headrest positioning, safety belts and their proper usage, refer to the “Seat Belts”
section
in this manual.
Before cranking the
engine
| • | Make sure the gear shift lever is in neutral |
| • | Make sure the parking brake is engaged. Turn the key to IGN position but do not turn the key to start |
| • | Few warning lamps briefly illuminate. See “Warning Lamps in the Instrument Cluster” section for more information |
| 1. | Shift the gear shift lever to neutral position. |
| 2. | Apply parking brake. |
| 3. | Turn the ignition ON. |
| 4. | Do not press the accelerator. |
| 5. | Turn the key momentarily to the START position to crank the engine. |
| 6. | Once the engine starts, release the key; it will
return to the IGN position.
Do not
continue cranking after the engine has started. This will lead to damage of
the starter and other engine components.
|
| 7. | If the engine fails to start, attempt to restart after about 10 seconds |
| 8. | If the engine fails to start even after repeated attempts as per the procedure given above, contact the nearest Authorised Mahindra Dealer. |
To prevent damage to the
starter,
wait 10 secs before attempting to restart the engine.
If the vehicle battery has
discharged, use booster cables, a booster battery or a battery from another vehicle to start.
Jump-starting
a vehicle can be dangerous if done improperly. Refer to the “Jump-starting procedure” section
in
this manual.
If the engine still fails to start, contact an Authorised Mahindra
Dealer for assistance. The idle speed is controlled automatically
and it will decrease as the engine warms up.
Observe the following when the engine is running:
| • | All warning lamps are OFF |
| • | Low oil pressure lamp is OFF |
After idling for a few secs., release the parking brake, depress
the
clutch, shift the gear shift lever to 1st gear, release
the service brake pedal, drive by releasing the clutch and depressing the accelerator pedal
simultaneously.
15.3 Stopping the Engine
Before turning the engine OFF, always allow the engine to return to
normal idle speed and run for few secs. This assures proper
cooling and lubrication of the turbocharger. This is particularly necessary after any hard driving.
To reduce the risk of
personal
injury, before turning OFF the engine and leaving the vehicle, always:
| • | Keep your right foot on the service brake pedal |
| • | Turn front wheels towards the road curb |
| • | Switch OFF the ignition, turn the key to the steering lock position and remove the key |
| • | Firmly engage the parking brake |
| • | Move the gear shift lever to 1st gear position (reverse gear if parking on an incline) |
| • | Slowly release the service brake pedal |
| • | Lock your vehicle when leaving |
15.4 Exhaust Gases
Protection against exhaust gas entry into the vehicles interior is
considered in the design of the exhaust system.
| • | Vehicle exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides, Hydrocarbons and Particulate Matter. These are potential environmental and health hazards |
| • | Avoid inhaling the exhaust gases. Carbon Monoxide is a colourless and odourless gas and can cause unconsciousness or even death |
| • | If the exhaust system is damaged for any reason or you notice a change in the exhaust noise, have the vehicle checked by an Authorised Mahindra Dealer immediately |
| • | Do not start the vehicle in a closed garage or in an enclosed area where ventilation is poor for the exhaust gases |
| • | Since the engine compartment and exhaust system components are hot and can ignite a fire, do not park or leave the vehicle with the engine idling over dry grass, leaves, paper, rags or any combustible material |
Never keep the engine running
when
the vehicle is parked in an area which is not properly ventilated. This could lead to serious
respiratory problems and/or death.

15.5.2 General Driving
Precautions
Always observe the following
precautions to minimise 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 Authorised Mahindra 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 centre of gravity and make your vehicle more unstable |
| • | Loaded vehicles, with a higher centre 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 slow down in gusty crosswinds. Because of its profile and higher centre 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 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 utilised 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 |
15.5.3 Off-Road Driving
Precautions
| • | When driving 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 |
| • | Maintain steering wheel control at all times. Sudden changes in terrain can result in abrupt steering wheel motion |
| • | Do not drive horizontally or diagonally across steep slopes, your vehicle can tip over sideways. Driving straight up or straight down is preferred |
| • | 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 |
15.5.4 If your vehicle is
submerged
If Your stationary Vehicle is
Submerged up to over the bumper
| • | 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 incase 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 centre 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. Dab the brake pedal while driving to remove the film of water |
15.5.5 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
driveability, safety, emissions and
reliability.
When driving through water,
drive very slowly and at constant speed, less than 8 kmph. Drive with accelerator pedal in
OFF
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 brake drums and 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 |
15.5.6 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.
15.5.7 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. They might also hide damage to fuel lines, brake tubes/hoses, etc. |
| • | Inspect all the tubes/hoses and check for any fluid leakages |
| • | Get heat exchangers (radiator and condenser) cleaned |
| • | Check threaded fasteners for looseness, particularly on the chassis, drivetrain components, steering, suspension and brakes. Retighten them, if required, and torque to the values specified in the ‘Repair Manual’ |
| • | We also recommend that the vehicle be checked at the Authorised Mahindra 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 |
15.6 Tips for Better Fuel
Economy
Give due consideration to the points listed below for better
performance
of vehicle and enhancement of fuel economy:
| • | Smooth, moderate operation will yield savings in fuel |
| • | Steady speeds without stopping will usually give the best fuel economy |
| • | Ensure that the parking brake is fully released |
| • | Idling for long periods of time will waste fuel |
| • | Anticipate stopping; slowing down may eliminate the need to stop |
| • | Sudden or hard accelerations reduce fuel economy |
| • | Warming up a vehicle in neutral on cold mornings is not required and may reduce fuel economy |
| • | While idling, put the gear shift lever in the neutral position |
| • | Resting your foot on the clutch pedal while driving will reduce fuel economy |
| • | Combine errands and minimise stop-and-go driving |
| • | Keep tyres properly inflated. It is recommended to check your tyre pressure in the morning when the tyre is cold |
| • | Use recommended Lubricants. Refer to the Maintenance Section for specifications and capacities |
| • | Operating with lower quantity or specification may reduce fuel efficiency |
| • | Replace the fuel filter, air filter and AC filter at the recommended intervals |
| • | Shift gears at the recommended speeds and RPM bands only. Refer to the Gear Shifting Speed table for further details |
| • | Control the maximum speed between 90 and 100 kmph in 6th gear to achieve the best fuel efficiency |
| • | Follow the recommended maintenance schedule and perform the owner maintenance checks recommended |
| • | Heavily loading a vehicle or towing a trailer will reduce fuel economy |
| • | Carrying unnecessary weight may reduce fuel economy |
| • | Adding certain accessories to your vehicle may reduce fuel economy |
| • | Driving on flat terrains offer improved fuel economy as compared to driving on hilly terrains |
| • | Close windows during high speed driving for better fuel economy |
| • | It is recommended to refuel in the morning (cold ambient temperature condition) |
15.6.1 How to Calculate Fuel
Efficiency (Mileage)
| 1. | Ensure recommended tyre pressure is maintained. |
| 2. | Refuel your vehicle till the fuel gun at the fuel station with auto-cut-off. |
| 3. | Reset trip meter to zero. |
| 4. | Drive at a moderate speed for a minimum distance of 150 kms. |
| 5. | Refuel at the same fuel station till the auto-cut-off. |
| 6. | Assuming ‘a’ litres of fuel was filled and ‘b’ was the trip meter reading. Fuel Efficiency = b/a kmpl. |
15.7 Ignition Switch (if equipped)
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 secs., 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. This will lead to damage of the starter and other engine components.
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.
15.8 Transmission
The first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat rough. This is a
normal phenomenon, and precision shifts will develop
within the initial few hundred kilometres of running.
15.8.1 Gear Lever
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 synchronised 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.
15.8.2 Gear Indicator
The target gear lever position is indicated in the centre of the
speedometer dial.
15.8.3 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.
15.8.4 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.
15.8.5 Recommended Gear

Shift gears at suitable road
speeds to safeguard the transmission components. Avoid driving in high RPM’s (>3000
RPM).
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.
15.8.6 Reverse
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 wait approximately for three secs. in neutral
gear before 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
buildup.
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 in order to obtain braking action. This could result in a wheel slip and
reduced
vehicle control.
15.8.7 Uphill and Downhill
Driving
To prevent the engine from labouring 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 utilise
the engine braking in an optimum manner.
15.9 Engine Idling
The idle speed is controlled automatically and it will decrease as the
engine warms up.
Observe that all warning lamps are OFF when the engine is running.
After idling for a few secs, follow the below steps to drive away:
| 1. | Release the parking brake. |
| 2. | Depress the clutch. |
| 3. | Shift the gear lever to 1st gear. |
| 4. | Release the service brake pedal. |
| 5. | Drive by releasing the clutch and depressing the accelerator pedal simultaneously. |
15.9.1 Engine Idling - In Cold
Weather
Avoid full throttle operation when the engine is cold and prolonged
idling at low ambient temperatures. Long periods of idling
may be harmful to your engine. Combustion chamber temperatures can drop so low that the fuel may
not
burn completely. Incomplete
combustion allows carbon and varnish to form on piston rings and injector nozzles. Also, the
unburned
fuel can enter the crankcase,
diluting the oil and causing rapid wear to the engine.
You must fuel this vehicle with Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel. For smooth
functioning and reliable operation of the engine during
cold weather conditions, use winter diesel for refuelling which is available at filling stations
during winter months. Check
with your fuel retailer for details.
The recommended engine coolant mixture will work fine till ambient
temperatures do not drop below -32ºC approx. For ensuring
above performance, it is a must that you use only recommended engine coolant.
15.10 Cruise Control (if equipped)
Cruise control allows you to maintain a set speed without the need to
keep your foot on the accelerator pedal. It should be
used for cruising on straight, open highways. Never use it for city driving, inclines, winding roads,
slippery roads, heavy
rain or in bad weather conditions.
It works on the closed loop system principle to maintain the set speed
of
the vehicle; the system controls the fuel injection
of the engine in order to maintain the set speed.

Cruise control enhances your comfort while driving and allows you to
effortlessly maintain the desired lane speed limit. Improper
use of the cruise control can lead to an accident.
Cruise control is designed to
operate above a vehicle speed of 20 kmph for all gears except 1st and reverse gears. The cruise
lamp in the instrument cluster functions only if the cruise control is active.
Cruise control will function only
under the following conditions:
| • | The vehicle is cruising above 20 kmph |
| • | Engine RPM above 1200 |
| • | Clutch pedal released |
| • | Brake pedal released |
| • | Cruise is activated first time in an ignition cycle by SET + / SET - button |
| • | Subsequent cruise engagements can be done by RESUME SET+ /SET- buttons in the same ignition cycle |
Cruise control is deactivated
under
the following conditions:
| • | CRUISE OFF button is pressed |
| • | Brake or clutch pedal depressed
If the vehicle speed exceeds the cruise set speed by 30
kmph by accelerator pedal intervention
|
| • | If vehicle speed is increased by 10 kmph for more
than
30 secs. by pressing the accelerator pedal
When Set+/Set- switch is pressed for more than 12 secs.
(In this case, vehicle will not go into cruise mode in that ignition
cycle. In order to restore the cruise function, switch OFF the ignition, wait for 30
secs.
and switch ON the ignition)
Cruise influencing error indicated by Check Engine
Lamp,
OBD lamp, etc.

15.10.1 Cruise Control
Activation
Drive the vehicle to the desired cruising speed (any value greater
than 20 kmph), press and hold the SET+ button until the
cruise lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates.
If cruise is deactivated (e.g. by depressing brake to handle an
intervention in the road etc.) in current driving cycle, reactivate
the Cruise to the last active Cruise Speed by pressing the RESUME button.
Cruise control may not hold the set speed when you are going up or
down hills, and the vehicle may come out of cruise control.
This is indicated by the cruise lamp going OFF in the instrument cluster.
15.10.2 Cruise Control
De-activation
You can cancel cruise control in any of the following ways:
| • | Press the CRUISE OFF button in the steering wheel |
| • | Press the brake pedal |
| • | Gear selector moved into neutral |
| • | HDC or ESP becomes active |
15.10.3 SET + Button
SET + button is used to activate cruise control and also to
increase
the cruise set speed.
To increase the speed in very small amounts, press the SET +
Button.
Each time you press, the cruise set speed increases by
about 2 kmph. When you wish to continuously increase the cruising speed, press and hold the SET +
Button and release when
the desired speed is reached.
15.10.4 SET - Button
To decrease the speed in small amounts, press the SET - Button.
Each
time you press, the cruise set speed decreases by about
2 kmph.
When you wish to continuously decrease the cruising speed, press
and
hold the SET- Button. When the desired speed is reached,
release the button.
If switch is pressed for
more
than 12 secs., the switch is assumed to be malfunctioning and the cruise functionality ceases
to function in that ignition cycle. To resume functionality, ignition has to be
toggled.
The cruise control is a
convenience system designed to assist the driver during vehicle operation. The driver must at
all
times remain alert of road / traffic conditions and responsible for the vehicle brake
operation
/ steering control.
Never activate cruise
control
in traffic or when driven in adverse road conditions (heavy rains, windy, slippery
etc.)
15.10.5 RESUME Button
With the help of RESUME, you can opt for the previous set cruising
speed of the vehicle in the same ignition cycle. This is
best explained with the following example:
| 1. | Assume, you have activated cruise mode and set the vehicle speed at 50 kmph. |
| 2. | Due to an obstacle or a sharp turn, you have deactivated the cruise mode either by pressing the brake pedal or by switching OFF the CRUISE control. |
| 3. | Vehicle comes out of the cruise mode. |
| 4. | When the road condition is suitable to switch over back to cruise control mode, press RESUME button once. The system activates the cruise control mode to the previous cruising speed of 50 kmph. |
| 5. | To resume the previous cruise set speed, the vehicle speed should be above 20 kmph. |
15.10.6 Override Function
This function enables user to ramp up the cruising speed to
overtake
front vehicle.
The cruising speed can be increased by using accelerator pedal.
User
has to complete this action within 30 secs. to maintain
the cruise mode. If user exceeds the 30 secs. limit, cruise mode will be deactivated.
15.11 Fuel
Use only commercially available vehicular Ultra-low Sulfur Highway
Diesel
that meets the BIS standard (diesel fuel confirming
to 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.
Do not fill any other fuel
which
is not meeting the above spec or add any non-recommended fuel additive and supplements.
If incorrect or unapproved fuel
is
filled incidentally by negligence, do not start the vehicle. Contact an Authorized Mahindra
Dealer to have the fuel system drained completely.
15.11.1 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 vapors
and
any skin or clothing contact. Direct skin contact with diesel or the inhalation of fuel vapor
may affect your health.
It is recommended maintaining a minimum of 10 liters of fuel in the
fuel tank. Driving the vehicle till the fuel tank is empty
or complete dryness is not recommended. Always have sufficient fuel in the tank. Check the fuel
level
prior to starting your
journey.
It is unsafe to keep or
carry
fuel in a separate container in the vehicles. This may cause fire hazard either in static or
vehicle operating condition.

|
| • | Use alloy wheel nut for16” steel spare wheel in M8 |
| • | Do not use spare wheel for tyre rotation, in case of temporary spare wheel used |
| • | Two or more temporary tyres should not be used on one vehicle |
| • | Tyre pressure of temporary wheel is to be checked at least once in a month |
| • | Use the compact spare tire only in an emergency |
| • | Drive the shortest possible distance with temporary spare tyre |
| • | “120 km/hr” is the maximum speed you are permitted to drive with this tyre. Never drive faster than 120 km/hr, Do not accelerate quickly, brake suddenly or drive at high speed through bends |
| • | After fitting the temporary spare wheel, the tyre pressure must be checked as soon as possible |
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.
16.4 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.
Overinflating produces a jarring and uncomfortable ride.
Both underinflation and overinflation 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.
16.4.1 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.
16.4.2 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.
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 reinstal 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.
16.4.3 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
Authorised
Mahindra Dealer for radial Tyre repairs.
16.4.4 Tread Wear Indicators
(TWI)
Tread wear indicators are moulded into the bottom of the tread
grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes
1/16 inch (2 mm). When the indicators appear in two or more adjacent grooves, the Tyre should be
replaced.
Avoid abrupt manoeuvring and
braking. This can cause Tyre deterioration and lead to loss of steering or braking
control.
16.4.5 Life of Tyre
The service life of a Tyre is dependent upon various factors
including
but not limited to:
| • | Driving style |
| • | Tyre pressure |
| • | 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.
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.
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.
Replacing original Tyres
with
Tyres of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer readings.
16.5 Tyre Rotation Recommendations
Type 1 - Applicable for all 5
Steel /
5 Alloy Wheels
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 4 Alloy
wheels and Spare wheel with Steel rim
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.
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.
16.5.1 Changing a Flat Tyre
Refer to “If you have a Flat Tyre” section in the general chapter
for
details.
16.5.2 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 studs or nuts are damaged, contact the nearest
Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
Always tighten the nuts in a
criss-cross sequence. Never use oil or grease on your wheel studs or nuts.
Never overtighten the nuts
on
the wheel stud. You could damage the stud or the nut.
Torque tighten the wheel
nuts
to the specified value at the nearest Authorised Mahindra Dealer .
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.
17 EMERGENCIES
17.1 Hazard Warning
Flashers
The hazard warning flasher button is located in the central bezel
switch
bank. Press the button to turn ON the hazard warning
flashers, all directional turn signals will flash to warn oncoming traffic. This is an emergency
warning
system and should
be used only when there is an emergency. Use it when your vehicle is disabled and is a safety hazard
for
other motorists.
Hazard warning flasher will work in all positions of the ignition key and even when the vehicle is
fully
locked.
With extended use, the hazard
warning flasher may drain your vehicle battery.
17.2 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 ‘jumpstarting’ instructions given later in this chapter. |
| 4. | Check the fuses in the Engine Compartment Fuse Box and Central Fuse Box. |
If the engine cranks normally, but
does not start
| 1. | If the lamp illumination is normal, engine is cranking normally, but the engine does not start even after repeated cranking, it needs adjustment or repair. Contact an Authorised Mahindra Dealer. |
| 2. | During winter, use non-winter diesel or due to
extreme
cold conditions, the vehicle may not start. Contact an Authorised Mahindra
Dealer for further assistance.
To prevent
damage to the starter, do not crank the engine for more than 15 secs. at a
time.
Wait 10 to 15 secs. 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 secs.
and try starting the engine again. If the vehicle still does not start, contact an Authorised Mahindra
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 Authorised Mahindra Dealer as soon as
possible.
17.3 Vehicle Overheating
If the needle in the temperature gauge in the instrument cluster is
all
the way up to the H and/or the high engine coolant
temperature warning lamp is ON, your engine has overheated.
If the engine is getting overheated, 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 needle in 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, engine fan blades and the engine belt all
are in good condition.
If any evidence of failure is observed, contact the nearest Authorised
Mahindra 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 Authorised
Mahindra Dealer as soon as possible.
Refer to the 'High Engine
Coolant
Temperature' section under the 'Features and Control' 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.
17.4 Jump Starting
If your vehicle's battery has run down, you may be able to start
the
engine by using a standalone booster battery.
But before going ahead with this procedure ensure that the battery
is
the cause of vehicle not starting. To confirm this,
few simple tests can be conducted as follows;
| • | Check the headlights - Are they dim or bright? If they are dim, it's likely your battery is dead. If your headlights are bright, you do not have a dead battery and a jump start may not help |
| • | Try to start your vehicle -Does it turn over very slowly, or does it crank quickly? If it cranks quickly, you do not have a dead battery and a jump start may not help. If it cranks slowly, or not at all, you probably have a dead battery |
Open the bonnet and locate the battery (near the left side fender).
Identify the positive and negative terminals.
| • | The positive terminal will be marked with a plus sign (+) and will usually have a RED cable attached on it. |
| • | The negative terminal will be marked with a minus sign (-) and will usually have a BLACK cable attached to it |
Check the physical condition of the battery. Inspect batteries for
cracks, leaks or any other damage. If you find any of these
things, do not jump start the vehicle. Call Mahindra Road Side Assistance or replace the battery.
If
the weather is very cold,
remove the refill caps and check the condition of the electrolyte. If it seems slushy or like ice,
do
not attempt jump-starting
until it thaws.
| 1. | Wear safety gear (goggles or face guard and
gloves)
if you have it.
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 and jump the vehicle.
|
| 2. | Untangle and unwind your jumper cables. Like your batteries, your jumper cables will probably have red and black cables and will have heavy duty clamps to connect to the battery terminals. You must make sure that the red and black ends of your jumper cables never touch each other once they are connected to the batteries; permitting them to do so can result in serious arcing and/or damage to vehicle |
| 3. | Connect the jumper cables in the order described
below;
Make sure
none of the cables are dangling into the engine compartment, where they
could
be exposed to moving parts.
|
| 4. | 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)
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
|
| 5. | Keep the recently-disabled 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, you probably have a dead battery or a dying 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 failure
Towing a vehicle to start
could
be dangerous. The vehicle being towed could surge forward when the engine starts, causing
the tow vehicles to collide, injuring the occupants.
Modern vehicles with
electronic
management systems should not be jump started without ‘protected’ jump starter leads.
17.5 Limp Home Mode
Limp Home Mode is an emergency situation declared by the EMS (Engine
Management System) due to failure 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. Needless to say, 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 Authorised Mahindra Dealer immediately for assistance.
17.6 Towing
Front Tow Hook
Rear Tow Hook
Tow hook is a screw on type and it is available in the tools pouch
below
second row seat on floor.
Remove/pry out the Tow hook cover in the Front/Rear bumper using a
screwdriver, Screw in the tow eye in the counter clockwise
direction (tow eye is LH threaded) by holding the cover and tighten. Fasten a cable or chain
specifically
intended for use
in towing vehicles to the towing hook.
The rear Tow hook should be used when your vehicle is utilised for
towing
other vehicles.
If your vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional towing service.
If
a towing service is unavailable in an emergency,
your vehicle may be temporarily towed by a towing cable or chain.

18.1.1 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 know about it.
Be Reasonable with
Requests
If you list a number of items and you must have your vehicle by the
end of the day, discuss the situation with the service
adviser and list the items in order of priority.
18.1.2 Need Assistance?
It is recommended talking to an Authorised Mahindra 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 Authorised Mahindra 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),
Authorised Mahindra Dealer name, Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN), vehicle delivery date and mileage.
18.1.3 Warranty Information
Read the Warranty Information given in the ‘Warranty Information & Maintenance Guide’ for the terms and provisions
of
Mahindra warranties applicable to this vehicle. Mahindra genuine parts, fluids, lubricants
and accessories are available at any Authorised Mahindra Dealer. They will help keep the vehicle
operating at its best.
18.1.4 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 Service Coupon Booklet
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 service coupon booklet
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

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.
18.1.5 Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discolouration is a normal operating
characteristic by itself, and does not necessarily indicate a concern
or that the fluid needs to be changed. However, discoloured 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 Authorised
Mahindra Dealer. Your vehicle's oils and fluids should be changed at the specified intervals or in
conjunction with a repair.
18.1.6 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 Authorised Mahindra
Dealer to properly diagnose and repair your vehicle.

18.4 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 Authorised Mahindra 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 wipe and wash |
| • | Steering wheel |
| • | Seats |
| • | Seat belts |
| • | Accelerator pedal |
| • | Brake pedal |

| • | Fluid leaks |
| • | Doors and engine hood latches |
| • | Tyre inflation pressure |
| • | Tyre surface/thread and wheel nuts |
18.5 In the Engine Compartment
18.5.1 Fluid Leaks
Check the engine compartment and the underbody of the vehicle for
any
leaks. If you smell fuel vapour or notice any leak,
have the cause found and corrected immediately.
18.5.2 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.
18.5.3 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 on the operating 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 |
18.5.4 Checking/Topping the
Engine
Oil
| • | Make sure the vehicle is on level ground |
| • | 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 hood, use stay rod to support the hood. 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 |
| • | 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
|
| • | 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
|
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.
Draining/Changing of engine
oil
should always be done by an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
18.5.5 Checking/Topping Engine
Coolant Level
| • | 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 |
| • | 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 an Authorised Mahindra 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.
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 an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
18.5.6 Checking/Topping
Brake/Clutch Fluid
The brake and clutch systems are supplied fluid from the same
reservoir.
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
Authorised Mahindra 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.
Refer
to ‘Lubricant and Capacities’ section.
Draining or changing of
brake
fluid should always be done by an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
18.5.7 Windshield Washer Fluid
Top-up
Top-up windshield washer reservoirs as and when required.
The windshield washer tank is located next to the right side head
lamp
in the engine bay. It supplies fluid to both front
and rear washer.
In very cold weather conditions, fill the reservoir with washer
fluid
premixed with anti-freeze.
If you operate your vehicle
in
temperatures below 4.5ºC, 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.

The following checks should be carried out from time to time, unless
otherwise specified.
18.7.1 Lamps
Check and ensure proper functioning of all exterior lamps.
18.7.2 Fluid Leaks
Check the engine compartment and the underbody of the vehicle for
any
leaks. If you smell fuel vapour or notice any leak,
have the cause found and corrected immediately.
18.7.3 Doors and Engine Hood
Check all doors and latches including the tailgate for proper
functioning. Make sure the engine hood secondary latch secures
the hood from opening when the primary latch is released.
18.7.4 Tyre Inflation Pressure

18.8 Battery
Your vehicle is equipped with a Mahindra 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.
18.8.1 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.
18.9 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 Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
18.9.1 Changing the Wiper Blade
| 1. | Lift the arm and position the wiper blade at right
angles to the wiper arm.
|
| 2. | Press the retaining clip in the opposite
direction,
disengage the wiper blade and pull it off the arm.
|
| 3. | Hold the end of the rubber and pull until the tabs are free of the metal support. |
| 4. | Carefully insert the new blade rubber. Then instal the blade assembly in the reverse order of removal. |
To prevent damage to the
windshield, don’t let the wiper arm slap down on to it.
18.10 Appearance Care
and
Protection
18.10.1 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 discolour 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 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 |
18.10.3 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 Authorised Mahindra 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 Authorised Mahindra Dealer, or an equivalent quality product to help protect from environmental effects |
18.10.4 Paint Chips
| • | Authorised Mahindra Dealers have the exact touch-up paint to match your vehicle's colour |
| • | Take your vehicle to an Authorised Mahindra 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 |
18.10.5 Aluminium Wheels and
Wheel
Covers (if equipped)
Aluminium 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 Authorised Mahindra 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 |
18.10.6 Plastic (Non-painted)
Exterior Parts
Use only approved products to clean plastic parts. These products
are
available with your Authorised Mahindra Dealer. You
can use these cleaners:
| • | For routine cleaning of plastic parts |
| • | For tar or grease spots |
| • | For plastic head lamp lenses |
18.10.7 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 Authorised Mahindra Dealer |
| • | The wiper blades can be cleaned with alcohol or Premium Windshield Washer Concentrate, available at your Authorised Mahindra 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).
18.10.8 Instrument
Panel/Interior
Trim and Cluster Lens
Do not use chemical solvents
or
strong detergents when cleaning the steering wheel or instrument panel.
Clean the instrument panel, interior trim areas and cluster lens
with
soap and water using soft microfibre / cotton cloth
/ sponge, then with a clean and dry white cotton cloth; you may also use Dash and Vinyl Cleaner on
the
instrument panel and
interior trim areas.
| • | Avoid cleaners or polishes that increase the gloss of the upper portion of the instrument panel. The dull finish in this area helps protect the driver from undesirable windshield reflection |
| • | Do not use household or glass cleaners as these may damage the finish of the instrument panel, interior trim and cluster lens |
If a staining liquid like coffee/juice has been spilled on the
instrument panel or on the interior trim surfaces, clean as
follows:
| • | Wipe up spilled liquid using a clean white cotton cloth |
| • | 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 secs. |
| • | Following this, wipe area dry with a clean white cotton cloth |
18.10.9 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 discolour 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 |
18.10.10 Leather Seats (where
applicable)
Your leather seating surfaces have a clear, protective coating over
the leather:
| • | To clean, use a softmicrofibre / cotton / sponge cloth with a leather and vinyl with approved cleaners. Dry the area with a soft cloth |
| • | To help maintain its resiliency and colour, use the leather care kit, available from an Authorised Mahindra 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 colour
or
dye transfer can occur when wet clothing comes in contact with leather upholstery. If this
occurs, clean the leather immediately to avoid permanent staining.
18.11 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.
18.12 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 minimise 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.
18.13 Winter Care
18.13.1 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.
18.13.2 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 |
18.13.3 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 10 minutes or so. Again, circulating fluids is essential for good life of the system |
18.13.4 Exterior
Wash and wax your car to provide an extra layer of protection to
your
paint.
18.13.5 Vinyl and Rubber
Use a good conditioner on all vinyl and rubber parts to prevent
from
drying out.
18.13.6 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.
18.13.7 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.
18.14 Bulb Replacements
18.14.1 Head Lamp Bulb
Replacement
The head lamp bulb can be
replaced without removing the head lamp assembly from the vehicle.
To replace the head lamp bulb:
| • | Ensure ignition is switched OFF |
| • | Remove rear dust cover from the head lamp |
