Sit on the seat in correct position before driving off for safety.

Do not stick any part of your body out of the window or sunroof while the car is running or while you are manoeuvring to park. You might be hurt by the passing vehicles or other unseen obstacles.

When getting off, check the rear and side of the car for passing vehicles or pedestrians.
Vehicles or motorcycles coming from the rear, if unchecked, might stumble on you when you open the door.

Do not stop the engine while driving. Otherwise, it makes the steering wheel heavier, the brake performance lower and, consequently, gets extremely dangerous.

Using your cellular phone while driving will distract yourself and may cause an accident. If necessary, pull over your vehicle safely to use your cellular phone.

Do not accelerate, start and brake the vehicle suddenly. Otherwise, it may increase fuel consumption and cause risk of a car accident. Accelerate or decelerate softly.

Abrupt operation of steering wheel makes the vehicle unstable and may cause an accident.

Leaving the engine running in an enclosed place with no air ventilation, might result in death from carbon monoxide poisoning.

When passing the intersection or railway crossing, stop the vehicle to check the safety and drive through as fast as you can while using low speed gear and without shifting the gear. If the engine is turned off in the middle of the intersection or railway crossing, get someone to help you and move the car to a safe place quickly.

Do not store any flammable items or disposable lighters in the console box or other spaces. In hot weather, they can explode and cause a fire.

For safety, we strongly recommend that you have an extinguisher in your vehicle. Keep it ready for use at any time. Be familiar with how to use it.

When driving down a long slope, use the engine brake effect by downshifting the transmission in steps according to the driving conditions while using the service brake. An excessive operation of the service brake could result in a “Fade” or “Vapour Lock” effect

Do not depress the brake pedal while driving with the accelerator pedal depressed. Otherwise, the response from accelerator pedal may be delayed. This symptom is the safety function to protect the vehicle’s powertrain system. This symptom can be eliminated if you depress and release the accelerator pedal once with the brake pedal not depressed.

Reduction or loss in braking force due to loss of friction between the brake pads and discs, caused by heat build-up through repeated or prolonged brake application.

When the brake is excessively applied on a downhill, some bubbles can be formed in brake cylinder or in brake lines. Because of these bubbles, hydraulic braking pressure cannot be transferred to braking units of the vehicle despite the fully depressed brake pedal.

Do not attach accessories or other unnecessary things to your car’s windows as they might interfere with your driving. Attached accessories can work as a convex lens and cause a fire or cause an accident.

To avoid being scalded, do not open the engine coolant reservoir cap when the engine is hot .

There are no particular break-in rules for your new vehicle. However, following a few simple precautions for the first 1000 km can add to good future performance, fuel economy and long life of your vehicle.

Follow the manufacturer’s advice whenever cleaning agents or other chemicals are used for the inside or the outside of the vehicle. Some cleaners may be poisonous or flammable, and improper use may cause personal injury or damage. When cleaning the inside or outside of the vehicle, do not use volatile cleaning solvents such as: acetone, lacquer thinners, enamel reducers, nail polish removers; or cleaning materials such as laundry soaps, bleaches or reducing agents, except as noted in the fabric cleaning advice on stain removal. Never use carbon tetrachloride, petrol, benzene, or naphtha for any cleaning purpose. Open all vehicle doors for ventilation when any cleaning agents or other chemicals are used in the interior. Overexposure to some vapours may result in a health problem which is more likely to occur in small, unventilated spaces. To avoid possible permanent discolouration of light coloured seats, do not let materials with non-fast colours come in contact with seat trim materials until these materials are totally dry. This includes certain types of casual clothing, such as coloured denims, corduroys, leathers and suedes; also, decorative paper, etc.

To avoid corrosion, wash your vehicle as soon as possible after driving on a coastal road (salted road), on a road where the snow removal chemicals (calcium chloride etc.) has been spread, in the area where the atmospheric fallout/industrial pollutants exists, or on a muddy or dusty road. Also, immediately wash your vehicle when things such as tree sap or bird droppings get on the painted surface.

Do not wash your vehicle under direct sunlight. Always wash your vehicle in the shade. If your vehicle has been parked under direct sunlight for a long period, let it cool sufficiently before washing.

With the use of modern trim materials, it is very important that you use proper cleaning techniques and cleaners. Failing to do this on the first cleaning may result in water spots, spot rings, or setting of stains or soils. All of which are more difficult to remove in a second cleaning.

Dust and loose dirt that are accumulated on interior fabrics should be frequently removed with a vacuum cleaner or soft bristle brush. Wipe vinyl or leather trim regularly with a clean damp cloth. Normal trim soils, spots or stains can be cleaned with cleaners.

Glass surfaces should be cleaned on a regular basis. The use of a glass cleaner or a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal tobacco smoke and dust films.

Never use abrasive cleaners on any vehicle glass, as they may cause scratches. If abrasive cleaners are used on the inside of the rear window, any electric demister element may be damaged. Avoid placing decals on the inside rear window, since they may have to be scraped off later.

If your windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if the wiper blade chatters when running, wax or another material may be on the blade or windshield, clean the outside of the windshield with cleaning powder or an equivalent non abrasive cleaner. Your windshield is clean if beads do not form when rinsing with water.

The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth of colour, gloss retention, and durability.

The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish is to keep it clean by frequent washing.

Wash the vehicle with lukewarm or cold water.

Do not use hot water or wash your vehicle under direct sunlight.

Do not use a strong soap or chemical detergent.

All cleaning agents should be washed promptly from the surface and not allowed to dry on the finish.

Mahindra vehicles are designed to operate under normal environmental conditions and to withstand the natural elements. However, unusual conditions, such as high pressure car washers, may cause water to enter the inside of your vehicle.

Periodic polishing and waxing is recommended to remove surface residue from your paint finish. Approved products are supplied through your Mahindra Dealer.

Bright metal parts should be cleaned regularly to keep their lustre.

Special care should be taken when cleaning the alluminium trim. To avoid damaging the protective trim, never use automotive or chrome polish, steam, or caustic soap to clean the alluminium trim. A coating of wax is recommended for all bright metal parts.

Your car was designed to resist corrosion. When it was built, special and protective finishes were used on most parts of your car to help maintain a good appearance, strength and reliable operation. Some parts which normally are not visible (such as certain parts located in the engine compartment and the underbody of the vehicle) are such that surface rust will not affect their reliability. Therefore, corrosion protection is not needed or used on these parts.

If your car is damaged and requires body panel repair or replacement, make sure the body repair shop applies proper anticorrosion material to the parts repaired or replaced so that corrosion protection is restored.

Calcium chloride and other salts, deicing agents, road oil and tar, tree sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys and other foreign materials may damage vehicle finishes if left on painted surface. Prompt washing may not completely remove all of these deposits. Other cleaners may be needed. When using chemical cleaners, be sure they are safe for use on painted surfaces.

Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be repaired promptly. Bare metal will corrode quickly and may develop into a major repair expense. Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials. Larger areas of finish damage can be corrected in your Mahindra Dealers body and paint shop.

Corrosive materials used for ice and snow removal and dust control can accumulate on the underbody. If these materials are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur on underbody parts such as the fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and the exhaust system even though they have been provided with corrosion protection. At least every spring, flush these materials from the underbody with plain water. Take care to clean any area where mud and other debris can accumulate.

Sediment packed in closed areas of the frame should be loosened before being flushed. If desired, your Mahindra Dealers can do this service for you.

The protective measures including illumination of engine warning lamp and reduced engine power are taken (engine turned off in worst case) when there is a critical fault in the system or a malfunction in the major electrical or fuel system. This indicates the system entering the safety mode to protect the vehicle’s drive system.

Commercially available high-quality fuels are suitable. Fuel quality has a decisive influence on the power output, driveability and life of the engine. The additives contained in the fuel play an important role in this connection. You should therefore use only high-quality fuels.

Use diesel fuel meeting to Indian standard IS 1460; 2017 BS IV.

For safety reasons (particularly when using non-commercial fuelling systems) fuel containers, pumps and hoses must be properly earthed.

Static electricity build-up can occur under certain atmospheric and fuel flow conditions if unearthed hoses, particularly plastic, are fitted to the fuel dispensing pump.

It is therefore recommended that earthed pumps with integrally earthed hoses be used, and that storage containers be properly earthed during all noncommercial fueling operations.

When the water in the fuel filter exceeds a certain level, this warning light and an alarming sound are activated. In addition, the driving force of the vehicle decreases.

Water separating interval: whenever changing the engine oil

The Engine check indicator on the instrument cluster comes on when the fuel or major electronic systems of the engine are not working properly. As a result, the engine’s power output may decrease or the engine may stall. If this happens, please visit the nearest Mahindra dealer or Mahindra Authorised Service Centre.

If unAuthorised notifications are made on the vehicle, the company is not liable for repairing the modified parts even during the term of warranty. Other part problems caused by modification are also not covered..

The vehicle you bought is equipped with a large number of precision parts that have passed through countless experiments and tests. These parts are deeply and systematically interwoven. Therefore, if any part is modified or altered without authorization, said parts may be damaged from the decrease in performance or overloading, which can then cause critical damage to the vehicle and human life.

Changing without authorization the preset value in the fuel supply system and inlet, exhaust and electric systems, and changing or adding unAuthorised parts is illegal and may cause serious problem with the vehicle’s durability.

If you instal a wheel dust cover on the tyres to enhance the beauty of tyre parts, the heat caused by friction in braking might bring serious problems in performance, causing vapour Lock and Fade phenomena.

This vehicle’s electronic system contains electronic circuits and fuses for the installation of standard electric and electronic devices. If you add new devices or circuits using the several existing devices and circuits at a time, electric and electronic devices can be damaged from overloading and may ignite. In addition, when you do drilling work in installing devices such as an antenna may expose the vehicle to rusting.

Installing nonstandard tyres such as tyres with greater width than prescribed can wear out the power delivery system or friction-damage related parts. In addition, other problems such as increase of fuel consumption and braking distance, vehicle’s shudder, and decrease of steering power can all degrade the vehicle’s performance. The speedometer and odometer can also become inaccurate. The vehicle with automatic transmission may have the shock in changing the speed.

If you install a sunroof by cutting the vehicle’s roof, rust and leakage may occur in the cut part. Installing colour glasses to block ultraviolet rays and better appearance may cause leakage and other many problems.

Installing bumper guard or other guard bars that are being sold in the market may cause problems in parking and stopping due to the extended length of vehicle, and increase in fuel consumption due to additional vehicle weight, and rusting may occur in the holes for equipping the guards. And because of the absence of shock absorber in the bumper guard, even accidents during low-speed driving will be much serious compared with the damage that unmodified cars might sustain.

To improve the comfort of cushion and to facilitate the cleaning of the vehicle, some drivers replace the flooring with laminated paper after removing the seats. However, this may cause damage to the various electronic system control units and wiring. This also may hinder the function of the seat rail that enables for the seat to move forward and backward. In this case, the locking system to fix the location of seats may malfunction, which might lead to a serious accident if the loose seats tilt forward or backward during an uphill climb or downhill descent.

There are several types of seat covers according to role and function although with the same vehicle type. Replacing the seats with new ones may alter the wiring system or over-use the wires because a seat has various electric connections and wiring diagram. As mentioned earlier, this may damage the wiring and related equipment or cause fire due to the overloading on the rated capacity.

In addition, replacing the seat cover may damage the electronic equipment caused by cut or pressured wire. Such a situation may also cause ventilation problems, fire, or noise.

Making the selection lever longer or equipping with an accelerator pedal and brake pedal pad may make the driver prone to make a mistake while driving.

The sticker’s adhesives may damage the coated surface of the vehicle. If parts of the car are drilled to attach moulding and other functional parts, the area near the holes will rust and other unfamiliar sound may occur while driving. Especially, if the attached parts are not fixed well, it may damage the vehicle or even cause a fatal accident.

When installing the vehicle with unauthorised parts or modifying it in ways including the cases mentioned previously, please keep in mind that the changed parts and related problems with changed auto parts shall not be covered by warranty.

To raise the head restraint, pull it up without pressing the release button. To lower the head restraint, press the release button (1) on top of the seat back and push the head restraint down.

The head restraint can be adjusted forward to three different positions by pulling the headrest forward. To push the head restraint backward, pull it fully forward to the farthest position and release it. Adjust the head restraint so that it properly supports the head and neck.

The advanced power seat provides 8-way electrical adjustments for the driver seat. It is equipped with electrically-operated power slider, power recliner, power seat cushion and power height adjustment mechanisms.

The graphics on the switches guide you to the function it has been assigned.

Unfold the seat in the reverse order of folding. Make sure that the seat is securely locked. If the seat is not locked, the seat may fold forward.

To raise the head restraint, pull it up without pressing the release button. To lower the head restraint, press the release button (1) on top of seat back and push the head restraint down.

You can adjust the height of the folded seat and floor using the luggage board. To adjust the height of the folded seat and floor, lift the luggage board up and insert it into the left and right grooves.

To protect you and your passengers in the event of an accident, it is highly recommended that the seat belts should be used by all occupants inside of your vehicle.

If the driver turns on the ignition switch without fastening the seat belt, this warning lamp will flash for about 6 sec. along with the warning buzzer. If you fasten the seat belt, the warning buzzer will stop sounding but the warning lamp will keep flashing for the remaining time (total 6 sec.)

Buzzer will continue if seat belt are not fastened.

In the event of a crash being detected, the belt pretensioner locks the seat belt by drawing back the seat belts on the driver’s and passenger’s torso and pelvis to prevent the driver and passenger being thrown forward. The seat belt pretensioner combined with the seat belt and airbag further increases safety.

In case of side impact collisions, front air bags are not inflated, but seat belt pretensioners located in the same position with impact direction will be deployed together with front seat side air bag

When a severe frontal impact occurs, seat belt pretensioners pull back the seat belts immediately to restrain the occupants to their seats.

After frontal collision, the load limiter releases the seat belt to prevent the occupant from being injured due to belt force.

Even if seat belts is not worn, the air bag will be deployed in case of impact collision triggered. In addition, airbags can protect occupants when the occupants are wearing their seat belts. Airbags may cause injuries to occupants if they do not wear or inappropriately use their seat belts.

We recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts throughout their pregnancy. Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe.

When transporting infants or small children, an appropriate child restraint system should always be used. The child restraint system should be appropriate for your child’s weight and height and properly fit the car’s seat. Accident statistics indicate that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat rather than in the front seat.

Child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats by seat belts or the latch system (ISOFIX seat - if equipped).

Children that are too small to use the seat belts must be properly secured in a child restraint system.

Secure the child restraint with a seat belt as shown in the figure.

Secure the child restraint with a seat belt as shown in the figure.

When installing a child restraint, adjust the seatback angle as desired.

ISOFIX system is a standardised method of fitting child seats that eliminates the need to use the standard adult seatbelt to secure the seat in the vehicle. This enables a much more secure and positive location with the added benefit of easier and quicker installation.

IUF: Suitable for ISOFIX forward child restraint systems of universal category approved for use in this mass group.

IL: Suitable for particular ISOFIX child restraint systems (CRS) given in attached list. These ISOFIX CRS are those of the “specific vehicle”, “restricted” or “semi-universal” categories.

X: ISOFIX position not suitable ISOFIX child restraint systems in this mass group and/or this size class.

Please read carefully the installation manual of child restraint system.

Please read carefully the installation manual of child restraint system.

The front passenger airbag is disabled (not inflatable) when placing the passenger airbag ON/OFF switch to “OFF” position.

This switch is located on the left side of the instrument panel, and you can see it when opening the front passenger door.

Press and turn this switch to operate.

“OFF” position: disabled (not inflatable)

“ON” position: enabled (inflatable)

The airbag warning label is located on both sides of the passenger side sun visor reminding the occupant to understand the dangerousness of the airbag. Read and follow Instructions and safety information before driving.

The airbag warning lamp comes on when the ignition switch is turned ON, and goes off if the system is OK.

An airbag is a safety device which is deployed in the event of a strong front (front airbag) or side collision (curtain airbag) to reduce the risk of severe personal injury.

Along with seat belts fastened, the airbags work to provide improved protection for the occupants. If an airbag is deployed with the seat belt improperly fastened or unfastened, the deployment of airbag can lead to serious injury. For this reason, airbags are also called supplemental restraint system.

SRS: Supplemental Restraint System

The driver airbag is located in the centre of the steering wheel. This airbag protects the driver's head in a front collision.

Located on the dashboard under the steering wheel, the driver's knee airbag can help protect the driver by inflating simultaneously with the front airbag in head-on collision.

The passenger airbag is located in the front dashboard. This airbag protects the front passenger's head in a front collision.

The front seat side airbag is mounted in the side of the driver seat back and passenger seat back. This airbag is deployed in a side collision which meets the airbag deployment conditions to protect the occupants in the front seats.

The second row seat side airbag is mounted in the side of the rear seat back. This airbag is deployed in a side collision which meets the airbag deployment conditions to protect the occupants in the rear seats.

The curtain airbag is mounted inside the area above the front/rear doors, which meets the bottom of the roof on both sides. This airbag is deployed in a side collision which meets the airbag deployment conditions to protect the occupants in the front and rear seats.

In collisions, the seat belts are sufficient to protect the vehicle occupants and the airbag’s may not deploy. In some cases, deploying airbag in low-speed collisions can cause a secondary impact to the occupants (light abrasions, cuts, burns, etc.), or loss of vehicle control.

Airbags may not inflate in rear collisions, because occupants are moved backward by the force of the impact. In this case, the airbag’s do not provide proper protection.

Front airbag’s may not inflate in side impact collision, because occupants move to the direction of the collision, and thus front airbag deployment does not provide proper protection.

However, side or curtain airbag (if equipped) may inflate depending on the intensity, vehicle speed and angles of impact.

In a slant impact or collision, the force delivered will be relatively weaker than that of frontal collision. So, the airbag’s may not inflate.

At the moment of an accident, drivers brake heavily with reflex. In such heavy braking, the front portion of the vehicle is lowered by the force of the braking and the vehicle can go under a vehicle with a higher ground clearance. airbag’s may not inflate in this situation because impacts may not be delivered or may be delivered with less intensity.

Airbags may not inflate in rollover accidents because airbag deployment would not provide proper protection to the occupants.

However, side airbag may inflate when the vehicle is rolled over by a side impact collision, if the vehicle is equipped with side airbag and/or curtain airbag.

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.

If the airbag control module detects the impact during an accident, it transmits the signal to deploy the airbag. This signal triggers the explosion of the powder, which is included in the airbag module, and the airbag deploys in a very short time to protect the occupants. When the airbag inflates, there will be heavy noise, glare and smoke. You could suffer secondary injuries caused by inflated airbag such as an abrasion, a bruise, a burn or injury by broken glasses.
