• | While refilling DEF inside tank, be careful not to allow any foreign particles, liquids, wiping paper/clothing fibers or lint to get inside the system. These may clog or damage the system. |
• | DEF is not a fuel additive and must not be added to the diesel fuel tank. If DEF is mixed with the diesel fuel, engine/fuel system could get damaged |
• | If DEF is spilled over vehicle components and metal surfaces, rinse with water or use sponge wetted with water. DEF residues will corrode the components and metal surfaces, painted body panels |

• | Sit in an upright position with the base of your spine pressed against the seat back |
• | The driver and front passenger seat head restraint has 5 positions. Adjust it as close as possible to the above specified position, with the top of the head restraint even with the top of your head |
• | Maintain sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. Maintain at least a ten inch (10") distance from the centre of the steering wheel to your chest |
• | The top curve of the steering wheel should align with your chin for ideal road visibility |
• | Adjust your seat and seat back angle such that your wrists rest on the steering wheel |
• | Ensure your legs are in bent position while fully depressing the clutch pedal |
• | Lift and fold the seat |
• | Swing the seat cushion fully up |
• | Fold the seat leg completely down |
• | Secure the seat by running the Velcro strap through the hook provided on the back of the seat cushion and sticking the Velcro |
• | All occupants, including the driver, should always wear their seat belt no matter how short the trip in order to minimize the risk of severe injury in the event of a crash. In an accident, an un-belted passenger becomes a projectile, and can cause serious injury to himself or another passenger. |
• | In a rollover crash, an un-belted person is significantly more likely prone to Injury than a person wearing a seat belt |
• | In order to be properly buckled, you must always sit up straight and keep your feet on the floor in front of you. The lap part must be worn low and tight across your hips, just touching the top of your thighs. While fastening the seat belt, the shoulder strap of the seat belt must pass over your chest and top of your shoulder. It must never touch your neck, face, the side of your shoulder, arm, or pass under your arm. The belt must always be flat against your body and not twisted in any way. Nothing, such as an arm rest, a pocketbook, or any external objects should be between you and the seat belt. Improper wearing of a seat belt will reduce the protection in an accident. |
• | Seat belts should be adjusted as tightly as possible, consistent with comfort to properly secure the wearer in the seat. |
• | The seat belts provided for your vehicle are designed for people of adult size, must be properly used and maintained. |
• | For usage of adult seat belt to secure children
refer to section on manual for child seat positions and use a child restraint
systems
|
• | Passengers should not move out of or change seats while the vehicle is 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 Authorized 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 |
• | 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 |
• | 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 |

• | A frontal airbag for the driver |
• | A frontal airbag for the front passenger. |
• | The steering wheel hub |
• | The passenger side instrument panel |
• | The lamp does not glow when the ignition is switched ON or glows beyond six (6) seconds after switching the ignition ON |
• | The lamp comes ON at any other time, even briefly |
• | The lamp comes ON intermittently |
• | Do not modify, remove, strike or open the seat belt assemblies, airbag sensor or surrounding area or wiring. Failure to follow these instructions may prevent them from activating correctly, cause sudden operation of the system or disable the system, which could result in serious injury |
• | Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) may be hot for several minutes after deployment. The airbags inflate only once |
• | Do not cover the steering wheel, instrument panel, seats with any object (e.g. dash panel covers, seat covers) which may prevent the airbags from inflating properly |
• | The airbags inflate with considerable force. While the system is designed to reduce serious injuries, primarily to the head and chest, it may also cause other, less severe injuries to the face, chest, arms and hands. These are usually in the nature of minor burns or abrasions and swelling, but the force of a deploying airbag can also cause more serious injuries, especially if an occupant's hands, arms, chest or head is in close proximity to the airbag module at the time of deployment. Sit straight and well back into the seat. Move your seat as far back as practical to allow room for airbag inflation, while still allowing you to properly operate/drive the vehicle |
• | The driver must sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel while still maintaining control of the vehicle |
• | The front passenger must sit as far back as possible from the dashboard |
• | Sitting improperly or out of position can cause occupants to be shifted too close to a deploying airbag, strike the interior structure or be thrown from the vehicle resulting in serious injury |
• | Always sit upright with the seat back in an upright position, on the seat cushion centre with your seat belt on, legs comfortably extended and your feet on the floor |
• | All vehicle occupants must be properly restrained using the seat belts |
• | All infants and children must be placed in the rear seat of the vehicle in a child restraint seat and be properly restrained by seat belts |
• | Front airbags can injure occupants improperly positioned in the front seats |
• | Even with airbags, improperly belted and un-belted occupants can be severely injured when the airbag inflates. Always follow the precautions about seat belts, airbags and occupant safety contained in this manual |
• | Do not modify the front seats. Modification of the front seats could interfere with the operation of the supplemental restraint system |
• | Do not place items under the front seats. Placing items under the front seats could interfere with the operation of the supplemental restraint system sensing components and wiring harnesses |
|
|
• | Collision
with Utility Poles or Trees -
Air bags will not inflate if the vehicle collides
with objects such as utility poles or trees, where the point of impact is
concentrated to one area and the full force of the impact is not delivered to the
sensors.
|
• | Under-ride
Situations -
Running under a truck's tail gate may not provide
the decelerations necessary for airbag deployment. Just before impact, drivers
often brake heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the front portion of the vehicle
causing it to “ride” under a vehicle with
a higher ground clearance. Air bags may not inflate in this “under-ride”
situation where deceleration forces that are detected
by sensors may be significantly reduced by such “under-ride” collisions.
Rear-end
Collisions -
Frontal air bags are not designed to inflate in
rear collisions, where occupants are moved backward away from the airbags
by the force of the impact. In this case, inflated air bags would not be able to
provide any additional benefit.
|
• | Frontal
Impact -
Frontal impact beyond 30º range from head-on to
the vehicle.
|
• | Pot Holes
or Stepped Surfaces -
Driving into a big pot-hole, stepped surface or
hitting the far side of a hole/incline will not inflate the airbag.
|
• | Rollover
-
Air bags will not inflate in rollover accidents
where air bag deployment would not provide protection to the occupants.
|
• | Frontal
Side Swipe Impact -
Frontal offset impact to the vehicle may not
provide the deceleration force necessary for airbag deployment. In an angled
collision, the force of impact may direct the occupants in a direction where the
air bags would not be able to provide any
additional benefit, and thus the sensors may not deploy any air bags.

• | The Vehicle should be in IGN ON state to activate the Reverse Parking assistance system. |
• | RPAS will be activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged |
• | RPAS will be deactivated when reverse gear is disengaged. |
1. | Start the vehicle. |
2. | Change the gear from neutral to reverse for RPAS alerts. Self-check beep will come from RPAS buzzer to indicate RPAS system indication. |
3. | Start moving the vehicle in reverse direction |
4. | The alert beeps will become more rapid as the vehicle approaches the obstacle. |
5. | The Beep sound can be heard from RPAS Buzzer. Frequency of the beep will increase if obstacle comes closer and the sound will be continuous if any of the obstacle is less than 50 cm. |
1. | If there is no self-check beep coming from RPAS Buzzer after Reverse gear, contact an Authorized Mahindra Dealer. |
2. | If there is only 3 second continuous or 3 sec irregular beeps coming from RPAS Buzzer after Reverse gear, contact an Authorized Mahindra Dealer. |
3. | Obstacle in the blind zone cannot be sensed by the system. Applicable for all sensors |
4. | Please check the condition of the obstacle behind of your vehicle before moving. In some cases, alerts may not match with real distance due to the installed sensor level, obstacle shape and reflection condition. |
5. | Point B will be detected sooner or later, but A may not be detected at all. Applicable for all sensors |
6. | Not all obstacles are detected from 120 cm. For instance, a person is detected from 75 cm because of the weak reflection or absorption of the waves of the clothes. |
7. | The distance alert frequency may increase or decrease due to different sizes of the obstacle at different positions. |
8. | Though the obstacle is in the sensing zone, obstacle may not be detected since the ultrasonic waves are not reflected back to the sensor. |
9. | The obstacle of a conical shape may not be detected, since the ultrasonic waves get reflected away |
• | System may not sense obstacles like wire mesh, handrail, small objects which are below the bumper level. |
• | System may not sense obstacles with cotton or spongy surface, which will absorb ultrasonic waves emitted by RPAS. |
• | System performance is dependent on the reflection angle of the obstacle. |
• | System may give false alert with-out obstacles while Parking/reversing the vehicle on grasslands, gravels and bumpy roads considering it to be an obstacle. |
• | System may alert you by sensing the ground when the bumper is not fitted in its intended position or when the vehicle is overloaded. |
• | System may give false alerts while the vehicle moves from plain ground to a slope terrain and vice versa. |
• | System may give false alerts by sensing the ground when the bumper is tilted more from the normal position or when the vehicle is heavily overloaded. |
• | System may give false alarm during heavy rain, snow and heavy wind conditions. |
• | The shape of the obstacle may prevent a sensor from detecting it. Some obstacles for example as follows |
• | Sharply-angled objects |
• | Tall or curved curb |
• | Low obstacles (with height of 40 cm above ground level) |
• | Tall obstacles with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of the vehicle |
• | Depending upon the shape of the obstacle and other environmental factors, the detection distance may shorten, or detection may be impossible |
• | Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor |
• | Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when approached, even if they have been detected once |
• | Because of other ultrasonic sources, sensor may give false alarm for e.g., sweeping machines, high pressure steam cleaners and neon lights |
• | Due to vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises producing ultrasonic waves, the vicinity of the vehicle is noisy.it may cause sensor to give false alarm |
1. | What is the advantage of the system? The Micro Hybrid System aids in attaining better fuel efficiency on your Bolero and thus reducing your running costs. However, the mileage improvement will depend upon various parameters such as prevailing traffic, driving patterns, etc |
2. | What are the other advantages of the
system?
|
3. | Is it possible to start the engine through the clutch pedal for the first time? No, the engine can be cranked only with the ignition key for the first time. If the engine is stopped automatically by the system, only then it is possible to start the engine through clutch pedal. |
4. | Whether the system will get activated as soon as the engine is started the first time with the ignition key? The system will get activated only after the completion of engine temperature dependent warm up period which may extend up to 15 minutes. This is to ensure better performance of the engine in terms of fuel economy and durability. |
5. | Are there any safety precautions to be followed? Yes, when the engine is turned OFF at traffic signals/jams with heavy electrical loads like head lamp or AC switched ‘ON’. If the duration of such stops are long, it is recommended to keep the engine ‘ON’ and the Micro Hybrid System in ‘OFF’ position. |
6. | What is to be done, if I don’t want the system to stop my engine at traffic signals/Jams? The system can be turned OFF by shifting the mode selection switch to the ‘0’ position. |
7. | Whether the A/C will function, if the engine is switched off? No, the A/C will not work. However the blower will be in operation when the ignition is ON. |
8. | What will happen if I keep the clutch continuously pressed at traffic signals/jams? The system will not stop the engine if the clutch is continuously pressed since it indicates the driver’s intention of moving the vehicle immediately. |
9. | When the battery charge is low, whether the engine will be switched off? If the battery charge drops below a certain threshold level, the system will not stop the engine so as to preserve the battery from further draining. |
10. | Whether I will be able to operate the engine with the normal ignition key? Yes, normal operation with the ignition key is always possible. |
11. | Whether the vehicle will start (or) stop in gear? The vehicle will not start or stop automatically in gear to ensure safety. It will do so only in the neutral position of the gear shift lever. |
12. | Whether the system will stop my engine in moving traffic? No, the engine will be stopped only when the vehicle speed is zero. |
13. | Whether the audio system will be switched OFF, when the engine shuts down? No, the audio system will not be switched OFF and you can continue to enjoy the music. |
14. | Whether the engine will re-crank whenever the clutch pedal is pressed? No, when the engine is running, the starter motor will not attempt to re-crank. |
15. | If any component involved in the system fails, what will happen? The system has a built-in diagnostic module which understands the failure and immediately goes to bypass mode. In the bypass mode the engine can be turned ON and OFF by ignition key as usual. |
• | Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme right or the extreme left for more than a few seconds when the engine is running |
• | Heavy or uneven steering efforts may be caused by low power steering pump fluid level. Check for low power steering pump fluid level before seeking service by an Authorized Mahindra Dealer |
• | Do not fill the power steering pump reservoir above the MAX mark on the reservoir, this may result in leaks from the reservoir |
• | Under inflated tire(s) on any wheel(s) |
• | Uneven vehicle loading |
• | High crown in the centre of the road |
• | High crosswinds |
• | Wheels out of alignment |
• | Wheels out of balance |
• | Loose or worn suspension components |

• | In certain operating conditions when the engine gets overheated, the engine management system may switch off the air conditioner intermittently. |
• | The air conditioner might not actually be functioning even when LED on the AC switch remains illuminated. This is to be considered as normal AC system operation. |
• | During extreme cold weather conditions, the air conditioner may not function until temperature of the air near the evaporator rises above a pre-defined threshold. |
• | When air conditioner is ON, moisture is extracted from the air. The resulting condensate is drained off from the vehicle. It is therefore normal, if you see a small pool of water under your vehicle. |
• | The air conditioner should be operated at least for ten minutes once every fortnight, even during winter months. This allows AC system components to get lubricated periodically and ensures optimum system performance. |

• | Before starting the vehicle, inspect the inside and outside of the vehicle ; look for any damages, leaks, loose parts, foreign objects/debris. Contact an Authorized Mahindra Dealer if required. |
• | Before starting your journey, check the working of all safety devices/components especially brakes, steering, lamps, signals and tires. In case you suspect any system/devices not working properly contact Authorized Mahindra Dealer. |
• | Adjust the seat headrest, steering wheel and fasten the seat belt as described in this manual. Never perform any seat/ steering adjustments when the vehicle is in motion. |
• | Start the vehicle only when seated and belted in the driver's seat. |
• | Vehicle exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides, Hydrocarbons and Particulate Matter. These are potential environmental and health hazards. |
• | Avoid inhaling the exhaust gases. Carbon Monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas and can cause unconsciousness or even death. |
• | If the exhaust system is damaged for any reason or you notice a change in the exhaust noise, have the vehicle checked by an Authorized Mahindra Dealer immediately. |
• | Do not start the vehicle in a closed garage or in an enclosed area where ventilation is poor for the exhaust gases. |
• | Since the engine compartment and exhaust system components are hot and can ignite a fire, do not park or leave the vehicle with the engine idling over dry grass, leaves, paper, rags or any combustible material. |
• | Make sure the gear shift lever is in neutral |
• | Make sure the parking brake is engaged. Turn the key to IGN position but do not turn the key to start |
• | Few warning lamps briefly illuminate. See “Warning Lamps in the Instrument Cluster” section for more information |

|
9. | If the engine fails to start, attempt to restart after about 10 seconds by toggling the ignition |
10. | If the engine fails to start even after repeated attempts as per the procedure given above, contact the nearest Authorized Mahindra Dealer |
• | All warning lamps are OFF |
• | Low oil pressure lamp is OFF |
• | Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Children could move the gear shift lever, which could result in an accident or serious injury. |
• | On slippery/wet road surfaces, never downshift in order to obtain braking action. This could result in a wheel slip and reduced vehicle control. |
• | Before you drive your vehicle, please read this manual carefully. |
• | Before you start driving, check proper operation of the brakes and steering system. |
• | If, while driving, you hear any strange noise or feel unusual vibration, or if you have any concerns whatsoever, or if any warning lamps illuminate or buzzers sound, park/stop the vehicle in a safe location as soon as possible. Identify the cause and take any necessary remedial action. Contact your Authorized Mahindra Dealer if necessary. |
• | Never overload or improperly load your vehicle. |
• | Always be attentive while driving and follow safe driving practices. |
• | Always maintain the recommended inflation pressure in tires. |
• | Always drive at a safe speed appropriate for given driving conditions. You must follow the speed limits. |
• | While backing up, keep a constant lookout for people, particularly children, or other obstructions or hazardous material that might be present behind the vehicle. |
• | Avoid loading any items on the roof that will raise the vehicles center of gravity and make your vehicle more unstable. |
• | Loaded vehicles, with a higher center of gravity, may handle differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such as slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken when driving a heavily loaded vehicle. |
• | Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. Because of its profile and higher center of gravity, your vehicle is more sensitive to side winds than an ordinary passenger car. Slowing down will allow you to have much better control. |
• | When driving off-road or on rugged terrain, do not drive at excessive speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike objects, etc. This may cause loss of control or vehicle rollover causing serious injury. You are also risking expensive damage to your vehicle's suspension and chassis. |
• | Maintain steering wheel control at all times, especially on rough terrains. Sudden changes in terrain can result in abrupt steering wheel motion. Make sure you grip the steering wheel from the outside. Do not grip the spokes. |
• | If the vehicle goes from one type of surface to another (e.g. from concrete to gravel/sand/mud/snow) there will be a change in the way the vehicle responds, especially the way it responds to steering, braking and accelerating inputs. |
• | Be extremely careful when driving on pavements made slippery by loose sand, water, gravel, snow or ice. |
• | If your vehicle goes off the edge of the pavement, slow down, but avoid severe brake or steering application. Ease the vehicle back onto the pavement only after reducing your speed. Do not turn the steering wheel too sharply while returning to the road surface. |
• | It may be safer to stay on the apron or shoulder of the road and slow down gradually before returning to the pavement. You may lose control if you do not slow down or if you turn the steering wheel too sharply or abruptly. |
• | In an unavoidable emergency situation where a sudden sharp turn must be made, turn the steering wheel only as rapidly and as far as required to avoid the emergency. Excessive steering will result in less vehicle control. Additionally, smooth variations of the accelerator and/or brake pedal pressure should be utilized if changes in vehicle speed are called for. Avoid abrupt steering, acceleration or braking which could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover and/or personal injury. Use all available road surfaces to return the vehicle to a safe direction of travel. |
• | When driving off-road or on rugged terrains, never overspeed or make sharp turns. This may cause loss of control or vehicle rollover causing serious injury. |
• | Maintain steering wheel control at all times. Sudden changes in terrain can result in abrupt steering wheel motion. |
• | Do not drive horizontally or diagonally across steep slopes, your vehicle can tip over sideways. Driving straight up or straight down is preferred. |
• | Drive cautiously to avoid vehicle damage from concealed objects such as rocks and stumps. You should either know the terrain or map-out your route before driving in the area. |
• | Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off-road driving that has taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud or water. |
• | Contact your Mahindra Authorised Dealer immediately |
• | Have the vehicle towed to nearest Mahindra Authorised Dealer to check any entry of water into the engine |
• | All fluids including engine and transmission fluids required to be changed incase of water ingress and contamination |
• | Never drive through water when it flows above the bottom portion of the bumper or above the tyre centre line |
• | The engine could get damaged internally, if attempts are made to cross through deep water |
• | Wet brake discs have a lower coefficient or friction resulting in reduced braking efficiency. Dab the brake pedal while driving to remove the film of water |
• | The ground under the water might not be firm which could result the water being deeper than expected when driving the vehicle through it. |
• | Do not stop or shut OFF the engine while immersed in water. It helps in preventing water getting inside the exhaust pipes. |
• | When backing down a ramp, do not allow the exhaust tail pipe to immerse in water. |
• | Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and premature failure. It may also enter the differentials, transmission and transfer case, reducing the oil's lubricating qualities. If these are submerged in water, the lubricants should be replaced as required. |
• | Water entering the transmission will cause deterioration in shift quality, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration, and ultimately damaging the transmission. |
• | Sand, mud/sludge that has accumulated in brake drums and around brake discs may affect braking efficiency. This may also damage brake system components. Wet brakes cannot stop the vehicle as effectively as dry brakes. Drying can be improved by driving the vehicle slowly while applying light pressure on the brake pedal. |
• | When driving through water, traction or brake capability may be limited. Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off-road driving that has taken you through water. |
• | After going off-road, it is always a good idea to check for damage. Completely inspect the underbody of the vehicle for any damages. |
• | Check for accumulations of plants or bushes. or polyethylene / plastic These could be a fire hazard. They might also hide damage to fuel lines, brake tubes/hoses, etc. |
• | Inspect all the tubes/hoses and check for any fluid leakages. |
• | Get heat exchangers (radiator and condenser) cleaned. |
• | Check threaded fasteners for looseness, particularly on the chassis, drive train components, steering, suspension and brakes. Retighten them, if required, and torque to the values specified in the ‘Repair Manual’. |
• | We also recommend that the vehicle be checked at the Authorised Dealer for any water entry into the transmission/ axle or the engine |
• | If any unusual vibration is experienced, check the wheels for impacted material. Impacted material can cause a wheel imbalance. Get it inspected/corrected as soon as possible. |
• | After driving through deep water, inspect your vehicle fluids and lubricants (engine oil, transmission/transfer case/axle oils) to ensure the fluids have not been contaminated. |
• | Keep your right foot on the service brake pedal |
• | Turn front wheels towards the road curb |
• | Switch OFF the ignition, turn the key to the steering lock position and remove the key |

• | Low Pressure Alert |
• | High Pressure Alert |
• | Pressure Leakage Alert |
• | Sensor Signal Missing (Communication error) |
• | Tiretronics Sensor Faulty. |
|
• | Low pressure alert will be set based on temperature only. |
• | Low pressure alert in the main alert screen will pop up once for driver notification when the alert is set and the vehicle is in running condition. Otherwise the alert will remain in the information screen and alert register screen |
• | If low pressure is observed, respective tyre should be rectified with cause of low pressure and then fill air |
• | Once low pressure alert is set with tyre pressure lower than certain values then the alert shall not be cleared until the pressure is filled to the placard value |
|
• | High pressure alert will be set only when the tyre pressure value goes to certain values |
• | High pressure alert in the main alert screen will pop up once for driver notification when the alert is set and the vehicle is in running condition. Otherwise the alert will remain in the tiretronics screen |
• | If high pressure value is observed, air has to be released from the respective tyre until the pressure reduces to the placard value |
• | The vehicle should be driven above 40 kmph for the new pressure value to be updated and the alert to be cleared |
• | Once the high pressure alert is triggered the alert shall not get cleared until the respective tyre pressure is reaches to the certain value |
|
• | The pressure leakage alert will be set only when the tyre pressure is leaking at a rate |
• | In the pressure leakage condition if the tyre pressure goes too low beyond the certain value then the low pressure alert will also be set |
• | The pressure leakage alert in the main alert screen will pop up once when the alert is set for driver notification and will be shown in tiretronics screen when the vehicle is in running condition/ignition ON condition |
• | Once pressure leakage is observed the respective tyre should be observed for air leakages and the puncture condition has to be rectified. Proper placard value should be filled after puncture rectification |
• | If the vehicle is running in an extremely rocky and acute bumpy condition then fluctuating pressure leakage alert may get set which will get rectified when the vehicle runs back on a normal road. This happens due to sudden change in pressure levels due to rocky conditions |
|
• | On account of any issue in signal reception or Tiretronics sensor damage or tyres changed with out performing manual learning then the signal will not be received |
• | Under such condition if the vehicle was driven for more than certain value without signal being received at least once, then ‘Signal missing’ will be set for respective tyre position on the DIS screen. The Tiretronics telltale is also illuminated to indicate the same. |
• | When the Tiretronics signal missing is set then perform manual learning once. If manual learning is not done successfully then the corresponding position tyres sensor needs to be checked by carefully opening the tyre |
• | If the sensor is found to be damaged then it should be replaced with a new one and manual learning should be done |
• | If the Tiretronics sensor low battery/faulty is set then the corresponding position tyres sensor needs to be removed by carefully opening the tyre and replacing it with a new sensor |
• | Post replacing the new sensor, manual learning should be done |
1. | Manual learning should be compulsorily
performed on any of the following conditions or operations done
|
2. | Once manual learning is initiated, the sensors inside the tyres need to be triggered by leaking the air from each tyre one at a time and should be completed within certain value post to each event for learning all 5 tyres |
3. | Do not perform Manual learning process at the same time on two vehicles with in the radius of 20 meters |
4. | It is mandatory that manual learning of tyres should follow the sequence of ‘front left tyre position, front right tyre, rear right tyre, rear left tyre and spare tyre’ |
5. | It is required to ensure the tyres have pressure > 32psi and < 36psi before initiating the manual learning process |
6. | Post manual learning, all tyres should be filled to the placard pressure value |
1. | Long Press & Hold RESET button |
2. | Turn the ignition key ON |
3. | RESET button is pressed >1 second and released within 5 seconds after Ignition ON and vehicle speed is< 7 kmph and 2 times turn lamps blink and DIS screen shows “TPMS Manual Learning”. |

|
• | The Tiretronics monitors only tyre pressure and temperature. It does not monitor conditions such as tyre wear |
• | The Tiretronics will not be able to detect an instant tyre burst and inform the driver in advance |
• | There may be the possibility of getting all the tyre location indicators on the Tiretronics display blinking along with the Tiretronics telltale, on passing environment area prone to heavy power lines and RF signal. It will come back to normal condition whenever interference gets cleared |
• | It is recommended to fill the pressure to 32 psi at a digital gauge station only |
• | Every 15 days, inflate all the tyres up to 32 psi and inflation should be done at cold condition/ambient temperature |
• | Pressure deviation between the Tiretronics
display and gauge will depend upon the following factors:
|
• | Tiretronics measures the absolute pressure of the tyre, not relative pressure (gauge pressure) |
• | Pressure deviation is defined for 0.5 psi (min) and 3 psi (max) |
• | If the vehicle battery/fuse is disconnected and reconnected, it will update the pressure after the vehicle is driven or sensor is activated |
• | It is mandatory that manual learning should be performed if the vehicle tyres are rotated or any of the tyres sensors are replaced, else the system will give a false alert with respect to false location |
• | At a time, only one tyre can be swapped with the spare wheel and then follow the learning procedure |
• | If more than one tyre needs to be learned, learn all 5 tyres as per manual learning procedure |
• | Tiretronics is only a warning or indicating device. Pressure and temperature values displayed by the system is for indication prior to alert purposes only. The Tiretronics system should not be used as a measuring device to correlate or calibrate against other systems |
• | During winter or in cold conditions, there may be chances of getting a pressure alert with the corresponding tyre location indicator in the display, if the tyre pressure is near the thresholds level. i.e. between 28 psi to 24 psi. However, this alert will get cleared after driving a few kilometers depending upon the climatic condition |

1. | Check that the battery terminals are tight and clean. |
2. | If the battery terminals are firmly fastened, switch ON the interior lamps. |
3. | If the lamps do not illuminate, glow dim or go OFF when the starter is cranked, then it indicates a weak or discharged battery. Try jump starting. Follow ‘Jump starting’ instructions given later in this chapter. |
4. | Check the fuses in the Engine Compartment Fuse Box and Central Fuse Box. |
1. | If the lamp illumination is normal, engine is cranking normally, but the engine does not start even after repeated cranking, it needs adjustment or repair. Contact an Authorized Mahindra Dealer. |
2. | During winter, use non-winter diesel or due to
extreme cold conditions, the vehicle may not start. Contact an Authorized Mahindra
Dealer for further assistance.
To prevent
damage to the starter, do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at
a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before
trying again.
|
• | Progressively reduce the vehicle speed and bring the vehicle to a stop at the side of the road |
• | Turn ON the hazard warning flashers |
• | Keep the engine running at idle |
• | Engage the parking brake |
• | Switch off the air conditioner |
• | Wait till the engine coolant temperature drops sufficiently such that the needle in the temperature gauge is around halfway between C and H |
• | Check the headlights - Are they dim or bright? If they are dim, it's likely your battery is dead. If your headlights are bright, you do not have a dead battery and a jump start may not help |
• | Try to start your vehicle -Does it turn over very slowly, or does it crank quickly? If it cranks quickly, you do not have a dead battery and a jump start may not help. If it cranks slowly, or not at all, you probably have a dead battery |
• | The positive terminal will be marked with a plus sign (+) and will usually have a RED cable attached on it. |
• | The negative terminal will be marked with a minus sign (-) and will usually have a BLACK cable attached to it |
1. | Wear safety gear (goggles or face guard and
gloves) if you have it.
It may
be necessary to remove the disabled vehicle’s battery cables from the
battery terminals and clean both cables and terminals.
Use a stiff wire brush to remove all corrosion. Reconnect the cables to
the battery terminals and jump the vehicle.
|
2. | Untangle and unwind your jumper cables. Like your batteries, your jumper cables will probably have red and black cables and will have heavy duty clamps to connect to the battery terminals. You must make sure that the red and black ends of your jumper cables never touch each other once they are connected to the batteries; permitting them to do so can result in serious arcing and/or damage to vehicle |
3. | Connect the jumper cables in the order
described below;
Make
sure none of the cables are dangling into the engine compartment, where
they could be exposed to moving parts.
|
4. | Remove the jumper cables once the vehicle
starts. Do this in the reverse of the order in which they were attached, and
don't
let any of the cables or clamps touch each other (or dangle into the engine
compartment)
Replace any positive (+) red post protective
covers if applicable (You have had to remove or open these in the beginning)
These covers help prevent accidental short circuiting of the battery
|
5. | Keep the recently-disabled vehicle's engine running. Run the vehicle above idle (slightly revved up with your foot on the accelerator). This should give the battery enough charge to start the vehicle again. If it does not, you probably have a dead battery or a dying alternator |
• | Flat-bed equipment - Your vehicle is loaded on the back of a truck. This is the safest and best way of towing. |
• | Wheel-lift equipment - The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the tires (front or rear) and lift them off the ground. The other two tires remain on the ground. |
• | Sling-type equipment - The tow truck uses metal cables with hooks on both ends. These hooks go around parts of the frame or suspension and lift the end of the vehicle off the ground. This is not a good method of towing as it may damage the vehicle's suspension and body. Avoid a tow with sling type equipment |
• | Familiarize yourself with your vehicle by going through your Owner's Manual |
• | Take a few minutes to review this Maintenance Section |
• | Make it a habit to use this manual to record scheduled maintenance in the Service Coupon Booklet |
• | Consult with your Authorized Mahindra Dealer for all your vehicle's needs |
• | Refer to relevant sections of the manual before starting |
• | Set the parking brake |

• | Oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders. Thin films of oil, left over when pistons move in cylinders, are sucked into the combustion chamber due to high negative pressure generated when the vehicle is decelerating. This oil gets burnt in the combustion chamber. |
• | Oil is also used to lubricate the stems of intake valves. Some of this oil is sucked into the combustion chamber together with the intake air and is burnt there. |
• | Engine oil consumption depends upon the viscosity and quality of the oil, and upon the conditions in which the vehicle is driven. Oil consumption will be more due to high speed driving and frequent acceleration and deceleration. A new engine may consume more oil since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls are not conditioned. |
• | Make sure the vehicle is on level ground |
• | Turn the engine OFF and wait a few minutes for the oil to settle down into the oil sump |
• | Apply the parking brake |
• | Open the hood, use stay rod to support the hood. Protect yourself from engine heat |
• | Locate and carefully remove the engine oil level dipstick |
• | Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth. Insert the dipstick fully, then remove it again |
• | If the oil level is between “Min” and “Max” marks, the oil level is acceptable. DO NOT ADD OIL |
• | If the oil level is below the Min mark, add enough oil through the oil filler neck to raise the level within the “Min” and “Max” marks. Wait for few minutes after every top up for the oil to settle down before checking the level. |
• | Oil levels above the “Max” mark may cause engine damage/poor performance. |
• | Put the dipstick and the oil filler cap back and ensure it is fully/properly seated. |
• | Park the vehicle on flat-horizontal surface. Keep the parking brake fully engaged. Shut-off the engine |
• | Wait till the engine cools down and hence coolant temperature comes down to normal room temperature |
• | The coolant level should be between “MIN” and “MAX” marking provided on the coolant recovery tank |
• | In case the coolant level is below the “MIN” marking, the coolant should be topped-up |
• | The coolant should be filled till the level rises above the 'MIN' but remain below the “MAX” marking on the coolant recovery tank |
• | However if the Coolant Recovery Tank is found to be near empty, it is recommended that the system be checked at an Authorized Mahindra Dealer |
1. | Start the engine and let it run until it reaches normal the operating temperature |
2. | While the engine idles, turn the steering wheel left and right a couple of times |
3. | Turn the engine OFF |
4. | Check the power steering fluid level in the reservoir |
5. | The fluid level should be maintained between the “MIN” and “MAX” marks on the dipstick, integrated with the cap |
6. | If the fluid is low, add fluid in small amounts, continuously checking the level until it reaches the correct operating range. Be sure to put the cap back on the reservoir |
7. | With a clean cloth, wipe any spilled fluid from all surfaces |
1. | Lift the arm and position the wiper blade at right angles to the wiper arm |

• | Do not use household cleaning products, alcohol solutions, solvents or cleaners intended for rubber, vinyl and plastics, or oil/petroleum-based leather conditioners. These products may cause premature wearing of the clear, protective coating |
• | Tap the ice on the window to crack it or chip it for a good place to start scraping. You could end up cracking more than the ice and end up with a cracked or shattered windshield/ window |
• | Pour warm or hot water on the windshield to melt ice. This will crack your windshield |
• | Run it in a well ventilated area. Carbon monoxide can build up quickly |
• | Run for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the engine to come up to the normal operating temperature. This will allow the oil to circulate and will also open up the thermostat so that your radiator anti-freeze circulates as well |
• | Start up the air conditioner and/or heater and run both for 10 minutes or so. Again, circulating fluids is essential for good life of the system |
• | If your vehicle has power steering, you may want to turn the wheels a few times to keep the fluids flowing |
