• | All vehicles from our factory have tinted windshield and rear window which meet the specified percentage of visible light transmission (VLT). Do not tint the windows of the vehicle delivered from the factory. Tinted window with certain percentage of VLT might be a legal requirement |
• | Make sure that no liquid solution for application of tint film flows into the electronic components of the vehicle to prevent error or malfunction |
• | Do not modify or apply additional sun films on the windshield and rear window of the vehicle with heated window system. Sharp edge of a knife or work tool may damage the heated wire and cause electrical shocks |
• | The tinted windshield and rear window with very low VLT and enhanced solar control characteristics reduce visibility significantly, especially at night or in the rain, causing unexpected safety problems |
• | Do not use abrasive cleaners, polishes, solvents, wire brushes or cleaning brushes for cleaning, as they could damage the finish |
• | Use neutral detergents for cleaning the wheel, as acid or alkaline detergents could damage the wheel cover |
• | Clean the wheels after driving on a coastal road to prevent the wheel from being corroded |
• | When the engine is washed, fuel, grease or oil residues are washed off. Therefore you should use only a filling station or a Mahindra Dealers who has oil separator equipment in the car wash bay |
• | Used engine oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, antifreeze, batteries, and tyres should be disposed by using the local Authorised waste disposal facilities, or have them disposed of by the vendor who is under a statutory obligation to do so when you replace them |
• | None of these items should be placed in the household recycling bins or poured into the sewage system |
• | Everyone should be concerned about environmental protection |
• | Help by doing your share |
• | When a strong multi-purpose, acid, or alkaline detergent is used to clean up the surface of the painted body, side mirrors, windshield, plastic mouldings or leather, changes, fading of colours or rusting can happen |
• | When the windshield is cleaned with an oil-contained or waxed towel, strange sounds and vibrations may occur on the windshield surface when the wipers are operating. Also, decreased visibility, reflection at night, or poor removal of water on the windshield may happen. Do not clean the windshield with an oil-contained or waxed towel |

• | When cleaning leather seats, never use oil-based solvents such as benzene, alcohol, gasoline, or thinner. It can cause discolouration and dull the surface of the seats |
• | Do not forcibly operate any power adjustment switch if the seat comes in contact with other object and cannot be adjusted anymore |
• | If the power seats are not operational, the seats should be checked and fixed before any driving |
• | 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 |
• | For lap belt-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, there is a risk of serious injury or even death in the absence of the primary restraint provided by the seat belt. |
• | 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 25 cm, as long as you are comfortable with driving |
• | 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 |
• | Before driving, all occupants should fasten their seat belts. If not, the occupants can seriously be injured in a collision or sudden manoeuvring of the vehicle |
• | Sometimes you may have to apply strong force to pull the webbing out of the retract |
• | Each seat belt should be used by only one occupant at a time |
• | Seat belts and airbag’s can significantly minimise possible injury to occupants. But they cannot perfectly protect occupants from fatal collisions or injury |
• | Modifications and improper maintenance for the safety systems could cause serious injury. The safety systems including seat belts should be checked and repaired by only a Mahindra Dealer or Mahindra Authorised Service centre |
• | An infant or small child should always be restrained in an infant or child restraint |
• | Expectant mothers must position the lap portion of the belt as low as possible below the rounding of the abdomen to avoid the belt pushing the foetus when a collision or sudden braking occurs |
• | Driving while pregnant can be very dangerous, so avoid driving if possible |
• | Consult your doctor about seat belt position during pregnancy |
• | The risk of injury in the event of an accident is increased for both the pregnant woman and unborn child if the seat belt is not worn |
• | Pull out the latch plate from the retractor. If the seat belt is locked when being pulled out, rewind it completely in the retractor, then pull it out to the desired length |
• | Position the shoulder belt across the body and the lap belt as low as possible across the hips. Insert the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks |

• | A child in a rear-facing child restraint installed in the front seat can be seriously injured if the front passenger airbag inflates. Secure a rear-facing child restraint in the rear seat |
• | A front-facing child restraint should be secured in the rear seat whenever possible. If installed in the front passenger seat, adjust the seat as far back as it will go |
• | When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer |
• | When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the vehicle with the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle |
• | In a collision an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap can become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are |
• | Do not allow a child in the cargo areas while the vehicle is moving |
• | If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the centre of the vehicle. Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm or behind their back |
• | Please note that the three-point seat belt is designed for a person who is taller than 140 cm |
• | Never place a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger seat with front passenger airbag, because of the danger that an inflating passenger airbag could impact the rear-facing child restraint and kill the child |
• | Use only the qualified child restraint systems. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use of the child restraint systems |
• | Do not carry your child on your lap while driving. You cannot resist against the impact pressure in an accident. The child could be crushed between you and the parts of vehicle |
• | Remember that a child restraint seat left in a concealed vehicle can cause it to be very hot. Check the seating surface before putting your child in the child restraint |
• | When your child restraint is not in use, remove it from the vehicle or keep it secured with a seat belt to prevent it from being thrown forward in case of a sudden stop or an accident |
• | When installing a child restraint, do not let the seat belts come across the child’s neck |

• | When using the “ISOFIX” lower latch system, all unused vehicle rear seat belt metal latch plates or tabs must be latched securely in their seat belt buckles and the seat belt webbing must be retracted behind the child restraint to prevent the child from reaching and taking hold of unretracted seat belts. Unlatched metal latch plates or tabs may allow the child to reach the unretracted seat belts which may result in strangulation and a serious injury or death to the child in the child restraint |
• | Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly-fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle |
• | There are two rear anchors on the floor under the 3rd row seat. (7-seater) |
1. | Remove the headrest from the second row seat |
2. | Place the child restraint on the second row seat |
3. | Connect the tether connector in child restraint to the rear anchor. Securely tighten the child restraint by adjusting the webbing of the tether connector |
• | The rear anchor is the supplemental device to secure the child restraint system after engaging it by the lower latches. Therefore, do not secure the child restraint system only with the seat back anchors. The increased load may cause the hooks or anchors to break, causing serious injury or death |
• | If a child restraint is not properly secured to the vehicle and a child is not properly restrained in the child restraint, the child could be seriously injured or killed in a collision. Always follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer for installation |
• | Make sure the latches of the child restraint system are latched to the lower latches. In this case, you can hear the “click” sound |
• | Incorrectly installed child restraint system may cause an unexpected personal injury |
• | Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints |
• | The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct rear anchor |
• | Rock the child restraint to check if it is securely installed. Refer to instructions provided by the manufacturer of the child restraint |
• | Do not instal the child restraint if it hinders the operations of front seat |

|
• | Always put on your shoulder belt over the shoulder and across the chest. Do not put the shoulder belt across your neck |
• | Put the lap belt as low as possible across the hips. Do not put it across the waist. In an accident, the belt may apply pressure to your abdomen |
• | Do not wear the shoulder belt under the arm. It increases the danger of sliding out of the belt and can cause serious injury or even death. The belt may also tighten the chest which is not as strong as the shoulders. This may also result in serious internal injuries |
• | Do not lock the seat belt with a clip or a clamp. If the seat belt is too loose, it may not protect your body from injury or death in an accident |
• | Before driving, all occupants should wear the seat belts. Otherwise, occupants could be seriously injured in collisions or sudden manoeuvers. In many countries, there are regulations regarding the use of the seat belts. Please observe local laws and regulations |
• | Do not buckle up two or more persons with one seat belt |
• | Do not wear the seat belt over any hard or breakable objects in pockets or on clothes |
• | An infant and tiny child must be restrained in a child restraint system. Note that the three-point seat belt is designed for a person who is taller than 140 cm |
• | Periodically check that the seat belt and its components work properly. A damaged seat belt can cause serious injuries. Repair or replace the damaged seat belt immediately at a Mahindra Dealer or Mahindra Authorised Service centre |
• | The warning light comes on whenever the ignition is switched on. The light goes out when the driver’s seat belt is securely fastened. If the light does not go off after fastening the seat belt, it means that there is a malfunction in the system. Have the seat belt system checked by a Mahindra Dealer or Mahindra Authorised Service centre |
• | Additional devices or accessories on the seat belt may result in improper operation. Do not add any adjusting devices which restrict the seat belt operation |
• | Periodically inspect all parts of the belt and have the damaged parts replaced. The belt that has been overstretched in an accident must be replaced with a new one. Mahindra recommends replacing all component parts of the seat belt after a collision. No replacement is required after a minor collision if a Mahindra Dealer or Mahindra Authorised Service centre finds that no damage has occurred and everything is in proper working order. The seat belt components that were not used during a collision must also be inspected and replaced if they show signs of damage or faulty operation |
• | Replace the entire seat belt assembly after a severe impact even if the damage is not obvious |
• | Never modify the seat belt |
• | Always keep the seat belts clean and dry. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oil and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Use mild soap and water for cleaning. The seat belt must be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged |
• | Adjust the seat properly before wearing the seat belt |
• | Sit back in the seat with the seat back in an upright position and wear the seat belt. If the seat belt is positioned too high or fastened too loose, it may not protect your body from an injury or death in the event of a collision |
• | Do not recline the seat back more than needed for comfort while vehicle is in use. 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 |
• | If the latch plate is inserted into a wrong buckle, the belt may exert pressure on your abdomen instead of your pelvis. This may cause serious internal injury |
• | If the seat belt is twisted, there will not be enough contact of the belt to spread the impact pressure |
• | Make sure that the latch plate is securely locked |
• | When pregnant women use the seat belt, consult with a doctor for specific recommendations |
• | Keep the buckle clean |
• | Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis or the hips, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided |
• | Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer |
• | Belts should not be worn with straps twisted |
• | Each belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant’s lap |
• | No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack |
• | If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the retractor, firmly pull the belt and release it. You will then be able to smoothly pull the belt out of the retractor |
• | Never unbuckle the seat belt while travelling. Careless driving actions, such as fastening/releasing the seat belt repeatedly, may result in serious injury |
• | Make sure that the seat belt does not go around any solid body or fragile objects |
• | Keep the buckle clean. Foreign materials caught inside the buckle can prevent the seat belt latch plate from being locked |

• | 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 25 cm, 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.

• | Instal a battery (one battery - CR2032)that meets the specifications with the correct polarity |
• | Assemble in the reverse of removal |
• | Never shift into “P” when the vehicle is moving, or the transmission will be damaged. Stop the vehicle completely before shifting into “P” |
• | To shift from the “P” position to another position, the ignition switch must be turned to the “ON” position and the brake pedal should be depressed. Any forcible attempts to move the selector lever from “P” without these two procedures may damage the selector lever and transmission |
• | Do not use the “P” position in place of the parking brake. Always make sure the shift lever is in “P” position and apply the parking brake fully |
• | Turn the ignition off and apply the parking brake |
• | Push down the shift lock release button. Then, shift the lever to the “N” position |
• | Start the engine, release the parking brake and shift the lever to the “D” position to drive off |
• | Never shift into “R” when the vehicle is moving |
• | Please note that the vehicle may slowly move rearward when the selector lever is at “R” |
• | Warm up the engine for approx. 3 minutes when the ambient temperature is below -15°C. Otherwise, the gear selector lever may not be moved smoothly (N→R). It is designed for protecting the vehicle and is not a fault |
• | Never shift into “N” from the “D” position or vice versa when the vehicle is moving, or the transmission will be damaged |
• | If you have to stop on a hill and would like to use this neutral position, depress the brake pedal firmly |
• | Never attempt to move the gear selector lever to “N” when the vehicle is in motion |
• | Never leave a child or pet alone in the vehicle when stopping and parking the vehicle with the ignition ON and the shift lever in neutral “N” position. Move the shift lever to the park “P” position or turn the ignition off in order to prevent the safety accident due to an unintentional operation |
• | Do not abruptly drive off or sharply accelerate the vehicle after shifting into “D”, or the transmission will be damaged. Especially, when you start off on a hill after stopping and parking the vehicle, wait for a while until the “D” shift indicator comes on with the brake pedal depressed |
• | Even while the gear is in “D”, the vehicle can roll down on an uphill according to the gradients, so you have to depress the brake pedal |
• | Please note that the vehicle may slowly move forward on level ground when the selector lever is in “D” |
• | Shifting to “D” position must be carried out with the vehicle completely stopped. Otherwise, the transmission can be damaged |
• | Shifting from “N” to “D” position when the ignition is turned ON without the brake pedal depressed is possible. But move the gear shift lever with the brake pedal depressed as much as possible for your own safety |
• | To prevent shift shock and to protect the system, in some cases, the current gear may not be shifted to the lower gear even if the gear selector lever is moved to “M” position |
• | If you move the gear selector lever into “M” position (manual mode) while the vehicle is stopping, you can shift to the lower gear and the 2nd gear start is possible on snowy or rainy road |

|
• | Do not downshift abruptly when the vehicle is driven at high speed (D), or vehicle may be severely damaged. Also, the vehicle may slip, resulting in an accident (especially on a slippery road) |
• | If low-range maximum speeds are exceeded when the selector lever is in low gears, the transmission could be damaged |
• | If you press and hold the tip switch, the gear may be shifted through several steps in series |
• | Please note that the gear may be upshifted if you fully depress the accelerator pedal while driving with 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear |
• | If you apply excessive force to the tip switch, the gear may not be shifted into other gears to protect the vehicle system. Soft and smooth operation is recommended |
• | Always start the engine while the selector lever is in “P” and the brake pedal is depressed. For your safety, avoid starting the engine from “N” even though you can do so |
• | Check whether or not the engine speed is in a normal operating range (below 1000 rpm). Keep the brake pedal depressed and shift into “D” or “R” |
• | Depress the brake pedal, release the parking brake, and move the gear selector lever to “D” position. Wait for a while several seconds before driving off with the brake pedal depressed |
• | To move the vehicle, release the brake pedal and depress the accelerator pedal gradually |
• | For safe driving, there are P Lock (P => R) and R Lock (N => R) functions, in which the gear shift lever only works with the brake pedal depressed |
• | When you shift the gear suddenly from D to P, there might be intermittent trapping in N gear, which is normal to protect the transmission, therefore avoid an abrupt gear shift for your safety |
• | For your safety, always depress the brake pedal before moving the gear selector lever with the vehicle stopped |
• | Never depress the accelerator pedal when moving the gear selector lever |
• | If you have to stop on a hill, depress the brake pedal securely |
• | When starting the engine with the accelerator pedal depressed, your vehicle may abruptly move and cause an accident |
• | When the parking brake is released while the engine is running at a high rpm, your vehicle may abruptly move. Therefore, wait until the engine speed becomes stable |
• | To avoid any mechanical damages or accidents, never shift into “P” or “N” while the vehicle is in motion |
• | When driving at a high speed, any sudden attempt to shift from a higher to a lower gear can severely damage the vehicle. In addition, your vehicle may lose its stability and be at a high risk |
• | A high engine speed can cause your vehicle to move abruptly from the parked position. To avoid this, wait until the engine rpm becomes stable |
• | Do not abruptly drive off or sharply accelerate the vehicle after shifting into “D”. Otherwise, the transmission will be damaged. Especially, when you start off on a hill after stopping and parking the vehicle, wait for a while until the “D” shift indicator comes on with the brake pedal depressed |
• | Do not abruptly drive off or sharply accelerate the engine after shifting into “D”. Otherwise, the transmission will be damaged. Especially, when you start off after stopping, wait for a while until the “D” shift indicator comes on with the brake pedal depressed |
• | When driving on a downhill, never shift the selector lever to “N”. If you try to shift the lever to “D” from “N”, a sudden gear engagement can damage the drive train |
• | Even though you can start the engine with the selector lever in both “P” or “N”, for your safety, always start the engine with the selector lever in “P” |
• | Never shift into “R” when the vehicle is moving |
• | On a steep decline or incline, your vehicle may move in the opposite direction of the intended direction in spite of the creep effect. When stopping on a steep hill, always depress the brake pedal |
• | Do not use the kickdown function while driving on slippery or sharply curved roads |
• | If you use the kickdown function too frequently, the durability and fuel economy of the vehicle will get worse |
• | Do not excessively apply the brake pedal while going down a long slope. The brake system will overheat, experience vapour lock or the fade phenomenon, and lose the braking force |
• | Be aware that the engine brake does not work when the gear selector lever is in the “N” position |
• | Avoid any abrupt engine braking on slippery roads, or the tyres may slip |
• | Heavy shock when moving the selector lever |
• | Decreased driving force while driving at high speed |
• | Fixed gear position during driving (cannot accelerate the vehicle) |
• | If you find any symptoms caused by mechanical or electrical defects in the transmission, stop the vehicle immediately and reset the safety mode |
• | If abnormal operation of the transmission (fixed at the certain forward gear in “D” or 2nd reverse gear in “R”) still exists, have the system checked by a Mahindra Dealer or Mahindra Authorised Service Centre |
• | If the mechanical or electrical problem still exists, have the system checked by a Mahindra Dealer or Mahindra Authorised Service Centre |
• | Park the vehicle and place the selector lever to “P” |
• | Stop the engine and wait for more than 10 seconds |
• | Start the engine |
• | If the vehicle operates normally after resetting, the problems are corrected |
• | If gear is fixed at the 2nd forward gear in the “D” position or the 2nd reverse gear in “R”, have the system checked by a Mahindra Dealer or Mahindra Authorised Service Centre |
• | Shift to the lowest possible gear and drive slowly |
• | Since your braking distance is longer than usual, allow a longer following distance |
• | If you accelerate or brake too fast, your vehicle will slide and you might get in an accident, so drive with caution. When braking, use the engine brake; apply your brakes only after you have slowed down considerably |
• | When going down a slippery downhill, use the engine brake and drive slowly |
• | Keep your speed steady as low as possible |
• | While driving, be careful not to accelerate or stop too quickly because you might get stuck in sand or mud |
• | If your vehicle gets stuck in sand or mud, insert a rock or a piece of wood under the stuck wheel, lightly apply the accelerator pedal and gently shift back and forth between the reverse and forward gear to allow inertia to get your vehicle out |
• | Before driving, check road conditions such as if the road suddenly ends, or if there is enough space for a U-turn in the middle of the road |
• | It’s easy to slide in a road covered with much sand or with much dry dirt. Keep your speed low and steady |
• | There is a danger of driving off the mountain road, so stay alert |
• | When coasting downhill, do not change gears; go down slowly by applying the engine brake |
• | If water gets into the electric system or engine, it might cause irreparable damage to your vehicle. Please refrain from underwater driving |
• | If going through water is unavoidable, choose a shallow spot where the exhaust outlet wouldn’t get submerged in water and proceed slowly at a steady speed |
• | Before going through water, get out of your vehicle and check the bottom of the river. Do not go through water if the bottom is sandy or covered with big rocks |
• | If several vehicles are going through water together, the first vehicle might burrow into the bottom, so be careful and cross in a different place if possible |
• | If the engine stops while you are going through water, do not try to restart. Get your vehicle towed |
• | Be particularly careful not to allow water to enter into the engine through the air cleaner |
• | Never change gears while going through water |
• | Check the front, rear, right and left sides, transmission, axle hubs, propeller shaft, oil and fluid levels, and underbody; if you discover problems, get your vehicle checked immediately |
• | Check all lamps and other electrical devices. If necessary, replace damaged components and get your vehicle checked |
• | Check for damages to the vehicle body and underbody; if you discover problems, get your vehicle checked immediately |
• | If the vehicle body is very dirty, wash your car to protect it |
• | If you suddenly use the engine brake on an icy or slippery road, the vehicle might slide and get in an accident. Use the engine brakes after fully reducing your vehicle speed |
• | If you repeatedly apply your brakes on a long downgrade, they may overheat, their effectiveness decreases and an accident might occur. When on a long downgrade, use the engine brake together with your brakes |
• | Before getting on a High way/Express way, listen to the weather forecast, prepare thoroughly and check the fuel level, brake system, cooling system, and tyres |
• | Always respect the speed limit and refrain from speeding |
• | Allow for a safe following distance, avoid sudden steering movements |
• | When it rains or snows and the weather conditions are adverse, double the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle running in front of you. And reduce your speed by half |
• | Do not idle the engine for a long time; it wastes fuel and causes environmental pollution |
• | Drive at a slow speed for the first 2 km if possible |
• | Do not load your vehicle with unnecessary stuff |
• | Refrain from quick accelerating and abrupt braking, travel at a steady speed |
• | When you park or stop for a long time, turn the engine off |
• | Keep tyres at the recommended pressure |
• | Keep your vehicle in the best possible condition by periodically checking it and perform maintenance |
• | When the vehicle is shipped, the cooling system is filled with a four-season coolant |
• | Before adding or refilling coolant, ensure that the coolant is a 50:50 mixture of water and antifreeze |
• | Use only Mahindra genuine coolant |
• | When snow tyres are installed, drive your vehicle at a lower speed than normal |
• | Instal snow chains correctly. Otherwise, the chains may damage the wheelhouses or the body of your vehicle |
• | The glow plugs of the diesel engine should sufficiently be warmed up before the engine starts |
• | Change the engine oil and fuel filter according to the specified service intervals. Contaminated engine oil will decrease its viscosity and clog the fuel filter and oil filter, causing a difficulty of engine start at low temperature |
• | Do not add any additives other than the genuine fuel for better startability at owner’s disposal. The additive may decrease the lubricating ability of the internal fuel system; the additive may have a different flashing point. This will damage the fuel system or produce an excessive exhaust fume |
• | When there is ice on the wiper blades, turning on the wiper switch may put an extra burden on the wiper motor and damage it. Avoid using the wipers when ice is on the blades |
