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. | 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. |
| 3. | Never use a mobile phone or any device with headphone while driving. This may take your focus off the road and lead to accidents. |
| 4. | 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. |
| 5. | 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. |
| 6. | 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. |
| 7. | 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. |
| 8. | Always maintain the safety labels affixed to your vehicle in a good legible condition. |
| 9. | All signal lamps, buzzers, shields, guards and other protective safety devices must always remain in place and in good, proper working condition. |
| 10. | 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. |
| 11. | We recommend that you use only genuine parts supplied by Mahindra. The use of non-Mahindra parts will not be covered by warranty. |
| 12. | 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. |
| 13. | 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. |
| 14. | 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. |
| 15. | 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. |
| • | Don’t Apply welding without removing ECU connectors and Battery cables |
| • | To remove the ECU connection, Switch OFF the ignition and wait for 180 Sec. |
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 km. 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 km. will help to
prevent abnormal
and premature system wear. Proper running-in will improve
the life of drivetrain and vehicle components.
A new engine may consume more oil during the first 1,000
km. 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 part needs 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.
To avoid counterfeit parts and to protect our brand image,
Mahindra
genuine parts are packed in a branded carton. Look for
the “Mahindra Genuine Parts” logo.
Any unauthorised
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.
Mahindra Genuine
Accessories
A wide selection of quality accessories are available
through your
Authorised Mahindra Dealer. These accessories have been
specifically engineered to allow you to personalise your vehicle to suit your requirements
and
complement its style and aerodynamic
appearance.
Each accessory is made from high quality materials and
meets
Mahindra's rigid engineering and safety specifications. Every
Mahindra accessory installed according to the Mahindra installation provisions comes with
the
respective accessory warranty.
Consult your Authorised Mahindra Dealer for detailed
information about
accessories available for your specific model variant.
For maximum vehicle
performance
and safety considerations, always keep the following information in mind:
| • | The company does not take any responsibility for consequential damages / injuries resulting due to fitment of unauthorised aftermarket accessories and / or tapping / cutting wires in the wiring harness |
| • | When adding accessories, equipment, passengers and luggage to your vehicle, do not exceed the total weight capacity of the vehicle or of the front and rear axle. Consult Authorised Mahindra Dealer for specific weight information |
| • | Bull bars and nudge guards are not recommended |
| • | Accessories causing any change in vehicle specifications like wheel rims, bull bars, etc., may affect the performance of safety systems |
| • | Mobile communication systems such as two-way radios, telephones and theft alarms that are equipped with radio transmitters and installed in your vehicle should comply with the local regulations and should be installed only by your Authorised Mahindra Dealer |
Vehicle Safety
When leaving your vehicle unoccupied:
| • | Always remove the ignition key when you park the vehicle |
| • | Close all the windows completely and lock all the doors |
| • | Do not leave any valuables in your vehicle. If you must leave something in your vehicle, hide them and securely lock all the doors |

2.5 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 the
engine compartment fuse box.
2.5.1 Engine Compartment
Fuse Box
Engine compartment fuse box is located adjacent to vehicle
battery.
To open the fuse box cover, press the lock 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.

2.6 Changing a Flat Tyre
In case of a flat tyre during driving, reduce your speed
gradually,
keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the road
to a safe place well away from traffic. Park on a level spot with firm ground. Stop the
engine and turn
ON your hazard warning
flashers.
Firmly apply the parking brake. Have everyone come out of the
vehicle on
the side away from traffic.
Never stop your
vehicle in a
traffic lane to change a tyre. 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:
2.6.1 Warning Triangle
The warning triangle is a necessary device for your
safety.
It is placed in the luggage compartment below the luggage
floor lid.
When you pull over your breaking down vehicle to a safe
place, set up
a warning triangle behind your vehicle. (Daytime: 100
Metres behind, Night: 200 Metres behind)
When the Vehicle has a
Serious
Problem during Driving
Turn on the hazard flasher and move the vehicle out of
traffic to a
safe place. Set up the warning triangle behind your vehicle
(Daytime: 100 Metres, Night: 200 Metres) to warn other vehicles
Have all passengers get out of the vehicle and stay away
from the
traffic. When your safety is secured, contact your Authorised
Mahindra dealer for your emergency service
2.6.2 Tool Kit
The jack, Screwdriver(+and-), Jack operating Lever, Tow
bar, Deo
Spanner(10mmx12mm) and Wheel Spanner are placed in the tool

remove the jack out, follow the process below:
| • | Lift and take out the Luggage floor Lid
as shown in
the illustration
|
| • | Lift and take out the tool kit organiser
from the
spare wheel
|
| • | Take the jack out from the tool kit organiser |
2.6.3 Spare Wheel
Removal
The spare wheel is mounted below the luggage compartment
at the rear
end of the vehicle
| • | Lift the Luggage floor Lid and Tool kit organiser. (Refer Tool kit removal procedure) |
| • | Loosen the Lock nut from the Spare
wheel
|
| • | Lift the spare wheel upwards from inner
side to
vertical position and take it out
|
Follow the reverse
procedure to
re–locate the flat tyre to the spare wheel bracket.
The spare tyre is only for emergency situations. Never
use it for
normal driving. After installing the spare tyre on a wheel,
take your vehicle to a Mahindra Authorised Service Centre or a tyre-specialised shop to
replace it
with a new regular tyre.
| • | When reinstalling the spare tyre, be sure to securely lock it with lock nut. |
| • | While your vehicle is being raised up with a jack, avoid any impact on your vehicle. Otherwise, you may get injured |
| • | When taking out the spare tyre, be careful not to damage the body of your vehicle |
Luggage Floor Lid to be fitted always at the lower
position when
removes and refits again.
2.6.4 Wheel Bolt
Loosening
Wheel cover Removal
(if equipped)
Wrap the tip of a screw driver with cloth, insert it near
the lugs of
the wheel cover and pry the cap away from the wheel.
Do not try to pry
off the wheel
cover by hand alone. Take due care in handling the wheel cover to avoid unexpected
personal
injury.
Always loosen the wheel bolts before raising the vehicle.
Turn the
wheel bolts counter clockwise to loosen as per the crisscross
sequence shown. To get maximum leverage, fit the spanner to the bolt, so that the handle
is on the
left side. Grab the spanner
near the end of the handle and push down on the handle. Be careful that the spanner does
not slip off
the bolt. Do not remove
the bolts, but loosen them by one or two turns.
Do not apply force
with your
legs (or stand) on the wheel spanner while loosening/tightening the wheel
bolts.
2.7 Jack Points
Front jack up point
- On the
side sill in-between the groove available on the sill cladding just behind the front wheels.
Rear jack up point
- On the
side sill in-between the groove available on the sill cladding just in front of the rear
wheels.
Make sure to instal the jack so that its upper plate is
correctly
seated under the vehicle’s positions marked in the figure
for the flat tyre side.
2.7.1 Jacking
Position the jack at the correct jacking point. Make sure
the jack is
positioned on a level and solid ground. Ensure no one
is in the vehicle.
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.
|
A : Flat Tyre
B : Chock Blocks
|
||
To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle end along
with the wheel
spanner into the jack and turn it clockwise with the
jack handle. As the jack touches the vehicle and begins to lift, check that it is properly
positioned.
Raise it high enough
so that the spare tyre can be installed. Remember, you will need more ground clearance
when putting on
the spare tyre than
when removing the flat tyre.
Make sure to set
the jack
properly in the jacking point. Raising the vehicle with an improperly positioned
jack will
damage
the underbody of the vehicle or may allow the vehicle to fall off the jack and cause
personal
injury.
| • | Use the jack only for lifting your vehicle during wheel changing |
| • | Do not raise the jack with someone in the vehicle |
| • | When raising the vehicle, do not place any objects on top or underneath the jack |
| • | Raise the vehicle only high enough to remove and change the wheel |
| • | Usable extended height of jack is up to the yellow line/mark provided in the jack. Do not raise the jack above the yellow line |
| • | Follow jacking instructions |
| • | Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is supported by the jack |
Never get under the
vehicle
when the vehicle is supported by the jack alone.
Remove the wheel bolts. Lift the flat tyre straight off
and place it
aside. Roll the spare wheel into position and align the
holes in the wheel with the holes on the hub. Lift up the wheel and get at least the top
bolt aligned
through its hole. Wiggle
the wheel and fix the other bolts.
Re-instal the wheel bolts inward and tighten by hand.
Press the wheel
inward and tighten the wheel bolts further.
Never use oil or
grease on the
bolts . Doing so may lead to over tightening of the bolts, wheel nut spanner slip,
damage the
bolts and also may cause personal injuries. Also, bolts may loosen and the wheels
may fall off,
which could cause a serious
accident. If there is oil or grease on any bolt, clean before installing.
Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the diagonally
opposite wheel
bolts using the wheel nut spanner. Turn the jack handle
extension counter clockwise using the jack handle to lower the vehicle, making sure the
handle remains
firmly fitted onto
the jack handle extension. Make sure the wheel spanner is securely engaged over the bolt.
Tighten each
bolt a little at a
time in the diagonally opposite order as shown. Repeat the process until all the bolts are
tight. Do
not use other tools or
any additional leverage other than your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot.
Improperly or
loosely tightened
wheel bolts are dangerous. The wheel could wobble or come off. This could result in
loss of
vehicle control and cause a serious accident. Always make sure all the wheel bolts
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 bolts 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, check the wheel bolts are still tight
after
driving
about 1,000 km (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
reinstal 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.
2.7.2 Restore the Tools,
Jack and
Flat Tyre Securely
Mount the flat tyre to the spare wheel bracket at the
luggage
compartment and firmly tighten the securing bolts. Restore the
tools and jack back to their respective locations.
The wheel balance
and alignment
differ from wheel to wheel which may lead to difference in steering and braking. It
is
recommended
to fix the flat tyre at the nearest tyre shop and swap the spare wheel back.
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.

5 SEATS AND SEAT BELTS
5.1 Front Seats
5.1.1 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 6 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 |
| • | Adjust your seat and seat back angle such that your wrists rest on the steering wheel |
The seat should be
adjusted
while still maintaining control of the foot pedals, 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
stationary.
Never put objects
under the
seats. They may interfere with the seat-lock mechanism or unexpectedly activate the
seat
position
adjusting lever, causing the seat to suddenly move, resulting in loss of control of
the vehicle,
an accident or serious personal
injury.
While adjusting the
seat, do
not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts. This may lead to
injuries.
5.1.2 Front Seat Slide
To move the seat forward or backward, pull and hold the
seat slide
lever up and move the seat to the desired position. Then,
release the lever to lock.
While adjusting the
seat, make
sure the latch engages fully on both side of the fore-aft adjustment track rails and
the seat
is locked firmly in the desired position. An unlocked seat may move in a sudden stop
or
collision, causing injury to the person
in that seat. Push and pull on the seat to ensure that it is locked.
5.1.3 Front Seat Recline
|
To change the seat back angle, lean forward
slightly
and raise the lever. Then, lean back to the desired angle and release
the lever. After adjusting, make sure the lever is returned to its original
position
and the seat back is locked.
|
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.
5.2 Head Restraint
To raise the head restraint, pull it up without pressing the
release
button. To lower the head restraint, press the release
button on top of the seat back and push the head restraint down.
Removed or improperly adjusted head restraints can result
in serious
head and neck injuries in case of a collision.
Do not apply excessive force to the head restraint during
adjustment.
It may get damaged.
5.3 Passenger Seat
5.3.1 Passenger Seat
Recline
To change the seat back angle, lean forward slightly and
raise the
lever. Then, lean back to the desired angle and release
the lever. After adjusting, make sure the lever is returned to its original position and
the seat back
is locked.
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.
5.3.2 Passenger Seat
Slide
To move the seat forward or backward, pull and hold the
seat slide
lever up and move the seat to the desired position. Then,
release the lever to lock.
While adjusting the
seat, make
sure the latch engages fully on both side of the fore-aft adjustment track rails and
the seat
is locked firmly in the desired position. An unlocked seat may move in a sudden stop
or
collision, causing injury to the person
in that seat. Push and pull on the seat to ensure that it is locked.
5.3.3 Passenger Seat
Head Restraint
The head restraint comprises the padded portion which
contacts your
head and is inserted/locked in receptacles on the top
of the seat back.
Your vehicle seats are equipped with head restraints which
are
vertically adjustable. The purpose of these head restraints
is to help limit head motion in the event of rear collision.

Removed or improperly adjusted head restraints can
result in
serious head and neck injuries in case of a collision.
Do not apply excessive force to the head restraint
during
adjustment. It may get damaged.
5.4 Rear Seat
|
|
Second row bench seat is of 60:40 split configuration and
also has a
foldable armrest.
5.4.1 Head Restraint
Adjustment
To raise the head restraint, pull it up without pressing
the release
button. To lower the head restraint, press the release
button on top of the seat back and push the head restraint down.
Removed or improperly adjusted head restraints can
result in
serious head and neck injuries in case of a collision.
If possible, place the centre line of the head
restraint at the
passenger’s eye level.
If the passenger is too tall or too short, adjust the
head
restraints to highest or lowest position.
5.4.2 Folding The Rear
Seat Back
To fold down the rear seat back:
| • | Insert the rear seat belt buckle and belt webbing in the storage to prevent the seat belt from being damaged |
| • | Lower the rear head restraints to the lowest position |
| • | Release the seatback lock by pulling the
release
lever
When locking the rear seatback into upright
position,
make sure you hear “click” sound.
When the seatback is released from its
holding
latch, the seatback can completely be folded. Ensure that none of your
body
parts are trapped.
|
| • | Fold the seat toward the front of the vehicle |
| • | To use the rear seat, lift and pull the seatback backward. Pull the seatback firmly until it clicks into place. Make sure the seatback is locked in place |
Rear Seatback Holding
Latch
|
|
Before returning the folded seat back to the normal
position. Pull the
rear seat belt out of the seat back so that the seat
belt is not jammed with the holding latch.
| • | Do not fold or unfold the rear seat when the vehicle is moving |
| • | Make sure that there is nobody on the folded seatback and in cargo area |
| • | If you put sharp or heavy objects on the seatback, there might be some damage to the seatbacks or even to the seats |
| • | Without completely lowering the second row head restraints or with excessively reclined front seat back, there may be some damage to the head restraints or the centre console if the second row seats are folded |
| • | Take care that there are no objects placed on the rear seat cushion before folding the rear seat back down as any sharp features in the object may damage the seat cover |
| • | All necessary driver’s seat adjustments should be made before any driving |
| • | Make sure that your seat is completely locked after adjusting |
| • | Any object that might damage the seat should not be placed on the seat |
| • | Removed or improperly adjusted head restraints can result in serious head and neck injuries in case of a collision. Make sure that the head restraints are in place and adjusted before driving |
| • | Do not recline the seat back more than needed for comfort while vehicle is in motion. The seat belt is the most effective when the passenger sits back and straight up in the seat. If the seat back is reclined too much, then the risks of sliding under the lap belt and getting injured are increased |
| • | Do not leave children unattended in parked vehicles. This can cause unexpected accident |
| • | You can be hurt by the edges of the mechanism of the seat when trying to get the small objects (cigarette lighters, coins, credit cards) under the seat or caught between the seat and the centre console. Wear protective gloves to prevent injury |
| • | Never try to adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving |
| • | Unexpected movement of the seat or seat back can cause loss of control |
| • | Take care not to bother the passenger behind you when adjusting the seat position |
| • | Sit upright in the centre of the seat and wear the seat belt around your hip and pelvic bones |
| • | Do not place any objects in the path of seat back movement. Any obstruction in this path prevents the seat back from being locked, causing severe injuries or death during a collision |
| • | Always raise the seat back to the proper upright position before driving |
| • | Never drive the vehicle with the seat folded. In a collision, you will be seriously killed or injured as you lose the protection the seat belt can provide |
| • | To avoid unexpected accidents including severe injuries and death, sit in the position so that the distance between the steering wheel and your chest is at least 10 inches, as long as you are comfortable with driving |
| • | Do not place a cigarette lighter on the floor or between the seats. The gas in the lighter container under the seat is potentially flammable when it is released from the container when the seat is moved |
| • | Additional cushion between you and the seat cushion reduces the frictional force and could make you slide under the seat belt. This could result in serious injury or death |
| • | Do not insert your hands under the seat or in the path of the seat movement when adjusting the seat. Your hands or fingers could get trapped between the seat and the frame |
| • | Do not ride with the seat back reclined too much. You could slide under the seat belt in a collision, which could result in severe injury or death. Also, you cannot be protected by the seat belt and the belt can strangle you or even cut into your stomach. Therefore, sit up straight in your seat by keeping your seat back upright while driving |
| • | When returning the seat back to the upright position, hold the seat back with your one hand and pull the release lever with the other hand. The more the seat back is reclined, the greater the restoring force of the seat back is. If you do not hold the seat back while adjusting the seat back, you could be injured by the restoring force |
5.4.3 Second Row Bench
Seat (If
equipped)
Loading cargo on
the seats is
dangerous. The cargo becomes a projectile that could hit and injure passengers in a
sudden stop
or collision. Cargo should always be kept on the floor.
Seat Fold
The second row seat back can folded forward for maximum
cargo space.
To fold the second row seat back down, pull the knobs at
the top both
sides of the seat firmly and push seat back forward.
5.5 Seat Belts
5.5.1 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
