First-aid kit placed in the glove box of the vehicle. Ensure it is not taken out of the vehicle at any point in time.

Please note that throughout this manual, reference is made that “an accident” could occur. An accident could cause you or a bystander to sustain personal injury, or result in property damage.

Never use a mobile phone or any device with headphone while driving. This may take your focus off the road and lead to accidents.

Please be advised that many service and repair tasks require specialised knowledge, tools and experience. General mechanical aptitude may not be sufficient to properly service or repair your vehicle. If you have any doubt whatsoever regarding the ability to properly service or repair your vehicle, please contact your Authorised Mahindra Dealer or a qualified technician.

Inspect the seat belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays or wear in the seat belt webbing, or loose buckles, retractors, anchors or other loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately.

Always start and operate the engine in a well-ventilated area. If in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside. Do not modify or tamper with the exhaust system.

Examine tyres for excessive tread wear and uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread and check sidewalls for any cuts, cracks, or other signs of wear. Replace as necessary.

Always maintain the safety labels affixed to your vehicle in a good legible condition.

10.

All signal lamps, buzzers, shields, guards and other protective safety devices must always remain in place and in good, proper working condition.

11.

The lifespan of Mahindra products depend on many factors. Improper use, abuse or harsh use in general may compromise the integrity of the vehicle and significantly reduce its lifespan. The vehicle is also subject to wear over a period of time. Please have your vehicle regularly inspected by an Authorised Mahindra Dealer or a qualified mechanic. If the inspection reveals any damage or excessive wear, immediately replace or have the component serviced.

12.

We recommend that you use only genuine parts supplied by Mahindra. The use of non-Mahindra parts will not be covered by warranty.

13.

Never crawl under or be in close proximity to the vehicle when it is lifted off the ground (by a jack), unless the vehicle is properly supported with jack stands, wheel chocks and other appropriate safety devices.

14.

Never attempt any repairs or adjustments to any component while the vehicle is in motion. Always switch off the engine, and wait for the engine to come to a complete stop before performing any repairs or adjustments.

15.

The vehicle identification plates are the only legal identification reference, hence it is necessary to keep them in good condition. Never modify data on the plates or remove them. The customer is responsible for any possible tampering with the plates, which will immediately void the warranty.

16.

Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt manoeuvres, or other unsafe driving actions that can cause loss of vehicle control. When the vehicle is fully loaded, drive at a slow speed, especially when turning. Note that the centre of gravity of the vehicle changes when the vehicle is fully loaded, and also if luggage is mounted on the roof carrier.

1.4 To Owners of a Mahindra Vehicle

When first driving the vehicle after long periods of non-use, you may experience a temporary drive disturbance. This is a characteristic of the tyres and should be no reason for concern. The condition should correct itself within 5-15 kms. of driving. If the disturbance persists, have the tyres checked by an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.

Driving and Alcohol

Your driving ability can be seriously impaired by alcohol even if the blood alcohol level is far below the legal minimum. Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.

Never drink and drive. Drinking and driving will lead to an accident resulting in serious personal injury.

Driving and Drugs/Medication

Your driving ability can be seriously impaired through the use of prescription or non-prescription drugs or medication (even cough syrup). If you are taking any sort of drug or medication, be sure that it will not affect your driving ability.

Mobile Phones Warning

Use of electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers, portable radios or other by the driver while driving is dangerous. In exceptional condition, if use of a mobile phone is necessary despite this warning, use a handsfree system to ensure that the hands are free to drive the vehicle. Even handsfree do not ensure that due to distraction an accident will not happen.

Please comply with the legal regulations concerning the use of communication equipment in vehicles in your country.

Driving Long Distances

When you are driving over long distances, follow these tips so that you have a safe journey:

•

Lack of sleep or fatigue will impact your ability to drive safely

•

Exercise your eyes by shifting the focus of your eyes to different parts of the road

•

Use stimulating beverages such as coffee or tea

•

Relax and stay calm

•

Take breaks at regular intervals

Protecting Our Environment

All of us should play our part in protecting our environment. Judicious vehicle usage and ensuring hazardous waste disposal (including cleaning and lubrication fluids) are important steps towards this initiative.

Mahindra vehicles conform to existing emission norms (standards). Adhering to the periodical maintenance schedule and using Mahindra genuine parts will help retain emission performance of the vehicle and is a pre-requisite for emissions warranty coverage.

2.5 Fuses & Relays

A fuse is the most common electric protection device. A fuse is placed in an electrical circuit, so that when current flow exceeds the rating of the fuse, it blows off.

The element in the fuse melts, opening the circuit and preventing other components of the circuit from being damaged by the over current. The size of the metal fuse element determines the rating. Once a fuse blows off, it must be replaced with a new one.

Switch the ignition and all electrical equipment OFF before touching or attempting to change a fuse.

The replacement fuse rating should be the same as the one you are replacing.

You can identify a blown fuse by a break in the filament. All fuses except high current fuses are push fit. A fuse puller should be used to remove the fuse from its position.

Fuse puller is available at both Engine compartment and Instrument panel fuse boxes.

2.5.1 Engine Compartment Fuse Box

Engine compartment fuse box is located adjacent to vehicle battery.

To open the fuse box cover press the lock on engine side and push the cover back and lift it.

Spare fuses are provided in the fuse box for replacement of blown fuses. Ensure the correct rating fuse is replaced with the blown fuse.

2.5.3 Battery Mounted Fuse Box

The battery mounted fuse box is connected to the positive terminal of the battery. Functionality of this battery mounted fuse box is to provide short circuit protection to alternator, power supply to engine compartment fuse box and also to the EPS motor.

Battery mounted fuse box consists of following fuses:

In the above image– 80 amp (Pos D) fuse connects to engine room fuse box.

150 amps (Pos B) fuse connects to alternator B positive.

80 amps (Pos A) fuse connects to EPS motor.

2.6 Flat Tyre

In case of a flat tyre during driving, reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place well away from traffic. Park on a level spot with firm ground. Stop the engine and turn ON your hazard warning flashers.

Firmly apply the parking brake. Have everyone come out of the vehicle on the side away from traffic.

Never stop your vehicle in a traffic lane to change a tyre. Risk of being hit by an oncoming vehicle. Keep driving until you reach a safe location.

Lifting a vehicle to change a tyre or perform maintenance is very dangerous if you do not have the requisite tools, safety equipment and training. The jack provided along with the vehicle is to be used only for changing a spare tyre. It is never to be used to perform any other maintenance or repair on the vehicle.

Never place any part of your body under any portion of the vehicle when it is supported only by the jack. You could be crushed by the vehicle if it falls off a jack. Keep bystanders away from the vehicle.

Find level, solid ground that is clear of oncoming traffic. If you cannot find a safe place to stop, it is better to drive on a flat tyre and damage the rim than it is to risk being hit by oncoming traffic.

After changing a flat tyre, never store the tyre or other equipment in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. This loose equipment could strike an occupant in the event of a sudden stop or collision. Store all of these items in the proper place.

The following sections outline the procedure for changing a flat tyre;

2.6.1 Tool Kit

The tool kit is located in under the second row right side seat.

The tool kit consists of the following tools packed in a PVC tool bag:

•

Screw Driver

•

Jack Operating Lever

•

Tow Bar

•

DEO Spanner 10mm x 12mm

•

Wheel Spanner

A	PVC Bag	D	Tow Bar
B	Screw Driver	E	Deo Spanner 10mm X 12mm
C	Jack Operating Lever	F	Wheel Spanner

Jack is located on the left side of the luggage compartment. To remove the Jack out follow the below process:

•

Fold the 3rd row Left side seat and pull out the trim cover snaps as shown in the illustration

•

Unstrap the Velcro which holds the jack

•

Lift the jack upwards inside the trim

•

Slide the bottom of jack towards out of the trim and take out.

2.6.2 Spare Wheel Removal

Spare wheel is located below the floor at the rear end of the vehicle. It is held in place by a securing nut underneath the rear luggage compartment floor carpet.

Follow the below steps to remove the Spare wheel from vehicle:

•

Locate the plug covering the securing nut on the rear end panel trim.

•

Remove the plug using flat screw driver or a coin by rotating in anti-clockwise direction

•

Rotate and Loosen the securing nut counter clockwise to winch down/lower the secured spare wheel to the ground

•

Remove the securing bracket by tilting it and take out of the spare wheel hub

•

Remove/pull away the spare wheel out of vehicle

2.6.3 Wheel Nut Loosening

Center Wheel Cap (If applicable) - Remove the wheel cap by inserting the flat screw driver in the slot provided in wheel cap .

Full Wheel Cover (If applicable) - Remove the full wheel cover by pulling the lugs of the wheel cover.

Do not try to pry off the wheel cover by hand alone. Take due care in handling the wheel cover to avoid unexpected personal injury.

Always loosen the wheel nuts before raising the vehicle. Turn the wheel nuts counter clockwise to loosen. To get maximum leverage, fit the spanner to the nut so that the handle is on the right side. Grab the spanner near the end of the handle and push down on the handle. Be careful that the spanner does not slip off the nut. Do not remove the nuts, but loosen them by one or two turns.

Do not apply force with your legs (or stand) on the wheel spanner while tightening the wheel nuts.

Block the wheel diagonally opposite the flat tyre to keep the vehicle from rolling when it is jacked up. When blocking the wheel, place a wheel block in front of one of the front wheels or behind one of the rear wheels.

2.7 Jack Points

Front jack up point - On the chassis long member behind the front wheels.

Rear jack up point - On the chassis long member in front side of rear wheels.

2.7.1 Jacking

Position the jack at the correct jacking point. Make sure the jack is positioned on a level and solid ground. Ensure that no one is in the vehicle.

Block the wheel diagonally opposing the flat tyre to keep the vehicle from rolling when it is jacked up. While blocking the wheel, place a wheel block in front of one of the front wheels or behind one of the rear wheels.

Flat Tyre

Chock Blocks

To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle into the jack and rotate it clockwise with the wheel spanner(Insert the slot provided in wheel spanner and jack handle end). As the jack touches the vehicle and begins to lift, check that it is properly positioned. Raise it high enough so that the spare tyre can be installed. Remember that you will need more ground clearance when putting the inflated spare tyre than when removing the flat tyre.

Make sure to locate the jack properly in the jacking point. Raising the vehicle with an improperly positioned jack will damage the jack and may allow the vehicle to fall off the jack and cause personal injury.

•

Use the jack only for lifting the vehicle during wheel changing

•

Do not raise the jack with any person inside the vehicle

•

When raising the vehicle, do not place any objects on top of or underneath the jack

•

Raise the vehicle only high enough to remove and change the wheel

•

Follow jacking instructions

•

Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is supported by the jack

Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle is supported by the jack alone.

Remove the wheel nuts. Remove the flat tyre straight off and then place it aside. Roll the spare wheel into position and align the holes of the disc with the bolts. Lift the wheel and hand tighten the top wheel nut. Wiggle the wheel and press it back over the other bolts.

Re-instal the wheel nuts with the tapered end inward and tighten by hand. Press the wheel inward and tighten the wheel nuts further.

Before lowering the wheel, hand tighten the nuts in diagonal sequence so that wheel is flush against the hub/drum.

Never use oil or grease on the bolts or nuts. Doing so may lead to over tightening of the nuts, wheel nut spanner slip, damage the bolts and also may cause personal injuries. Also, nuts may loosen and the wheels may fall off, which could cause a serious accident. If there is oil or grease on any bolt or nut, clean before installing wheel nuts.

Rotate the jack handle anti clockwise using the wheel spanner to lower the vehicle, making sure the handle remains firmly fitted onto the wheel spanner. Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the diagonally opposite wheel nuts using the wheel nut spanner. Make sure the wheel spanner is securely engaged over the nut. Tighten each nut a little at a time in the diagonally opposite order as shown. Repeat the process until all the nuts are tight. Do not use any other tools or any additional leverage other than your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot.

Firmly tighten the wheel nuts as per the sequence shown in the illustration , two to three times.

Improperly or loosely tightened wheel nuts are dangerous. The wheel can wobble or come off. This can result in loss of vehicle control and cause a serious accident. Always make sure all the wheel nuts are properly/securely tightened to the specified torque.

When lowering the vehicle, make sure all portions of your body are clear off the vehicle as it is lowered to the ground. Have the wheel nuts tightened with the torque spanner to 120 Nm, as soon as possible after changing wheels.

If you have rotated, repaired, changed your tyres or changed the wheel rims, re-torque the wheel nuts after driving about 1,000 kms (Torque 120 Nm).

Put the wheel cap (if equipped) into position aligning the nozzle on the wheel to the nozzle clearance on the wheel cover. Tap it firmly on the sides with your hand to snap it into place.

Check the air pressure of the replaced tyre. If the pressure is lower than recommended, drive slowly to the nearest service station and inflate to the correct pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is correct. Always re-instal the valve cap after checking or adjusting tyre pressure. If the cap is not replaced, dirt and moisture could get into the valve core and cause air leakage. If you lose a valve cap, buy another and instal it as soon as possible.

Wheel balancing and Wheel Alignment to be done after tyre puncture rework.

Steering centering calibration (Steering Angle Sensor) to be performed if you have done Wheel Alignment, repaired, changed your tyres or changed the wheel rims. Contact an Authorised Mahindra Dealer for assistance.

2.8 Restore all the Tools, Jack and Flat Tyre Securely

Restore the tools and Jack in their respective storage locations.

Jack Re-fitment:

•

Insert the jack by sliding the top portion inside the trim

•

Lift the jack upwards inside the trim

•

Tighten the Strap of the Velcro with the jack

•

Fix the trim cover and unfold the 3rd row left seat

Align the spare wheel bracket to the centre hub of the wheel. Winch up the flat tyre to the floor at the rear of the vehicle. Firmly tighten the securing nut and refit the plug on the rear end panel trim.

Double check to ensure the tyre is snug against the rear floor of the vehicle. The spare wheel bracket/cable may be damaged if the vehicle is driven with the spare wheel loosely mounted.

Drive slowly to the nearest service station and inflate to the correct pressure. Always reinstall the valve cap after checking or adjusting tyre pressure, dirt and moisture could get into the valve core and cause air leakage or valve damage.

Replace the original tyre once punture/rework done. Provided spare wheel in the vehicle should be used only as temporary.

2.9 Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is the legal identity of your vehicle. The vehicle identification number is stamped on the VIN plate riveted on to the bottom of the B-Pillar on the driver side.

2.10 Engine Number

The engine number sticker is pasted on top of cam cover. The engine number is also stamped on the VIN plate riveted on to the bottom of the B-Pillar on the driver side.

5 SEATS AND SEAT BELTS

5.1 Front Seats

5.1.1 Sitting in Correct Position

Follow the tips below for a comfortable and safe journey:

•

Sit in an upright position with the base of your spine pressed against the seat back

•

The driver and front passenger seat head restraint has 5 positions. Adjust it as close as possible to the above specified position, with the top of the head restraint even with the top of your head

•

Maintain sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. Maintain at least a ten inch (10") distance from the centre of the steering wheel to your chest

•

The top curve of the steering wheel should align with your chin for ideal road visibility

•

Adjust your seat and seat back angle such that your wrists rest on the steering wheel

•

Ensure your legs are in bent position while fully depressing the clutch pedal

The seat should be adjusted while still maintaining control of the foot pedals (able to fully depress the clutch pedal), steering wheel (rest the wrists on the steering wheel) and your view of the instrument panel controls.

Never adjust the driver's seat while the vehicle is in motion. The seat may unexpectedly move and cause the driver to unintentionally operate the accelerator or brake, or turn the steering wheel, causing loss of control of the vehicle, an accident or serious personal injury. Adjust the driver's seat only when the vehicle is not in motion.

Never put objects under the seats. They may interfere with the seat-lock mechanism or unexpectedly activate the seat position adjusting lever, causing the seat to suddenly move, resulting in loss of control of the vehicle, an accident or serious personal injury.

While adjusting the seat, do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts. This may lead to injuries.

5.1.2 Front Seat Slide

Move the seat forward or backward by lifting the adjustment lever located under the seat front and release once the desired position is reached.

While adjusting the seat, make sure the latch engages fully and the seat is locked firmly in the desired position. An unlocked seat may move in a sudden stop or collision, causing injury to the person in that seat. Push and pull on the seat to be sure it is locked.

5.1.3 Front Seat Recline

To adjust the seat back, lift the lever located on the outboard side of the seat, lean back, and release the lever at the desired position. To return the seat back, lift the lever, lean forward, and release the lever.

The seat belts provide maximum protection in a frontal or rear collision when the occupants are sitting up straight and well back in the seats. If you are reclined, the lap belt may slide past your hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or the shoulder strap may contact your neck. The more the seat is reclined, the greater the risk of serious injury.

When returning the rear-reclined seat back to its upright position, make sure you support the seat back while operating the lever.

5.1.4 Front Seat Lumbar Adjustment (if equipped)

Both the front seat backs have lumbar adjustment feature. The lumbar contour of the lumbar support can be adjusted by means of the adjusting wheel on the inner side of the seat back.

Properly adjusted lumbar support provides adequate back support essential during long journeys.

Do not use force, rotate the lumbar adjustment lever beyond the extreme stop positions in either direction.

5.1.5 Front Seat Height Adjustment (if equipped)

The driver seat height can be raised or lowered as per comfort.

To RAISE the seat height, lift the seat height adjust handle upwards repeatedly, release the lever once the desired seat height is reached.

To LOWER the seat height, push down the seat height adjust handle repeatedly. Release the lever once the desired seat height is reached.

Do not adjust the height of seat while vehicle is in motion.

5.2 Head Restraint

The head restraint comprises the padded portion which contacts your head and is inserted/locked in receptacles on the top of the seat back.

Your vehicle seats are equipped with head restraints which are vertically adjustable. The purpose of these head restraints is to help limit head motion in the event of rear collision.

Always align top of the head restraint with the top of your head or as close to it as possible. To raise the head restraint, press the lock knob and pull the restraint up. To lower the head restraint, press the lock knob and push the head restraint down.

The head restraint can be pulled out completely by depressing the locking button while pulling the restraint out.

Align the head restraint shafts over the holes on the seat top and push the restraint straight down till you hear the lock click.

Keep the seat back as upright as possible, so the headrest is behind, not beneath, and almost touching your head.

Never drive with the head restraints not properly adjusted, head restraints removed or inserted in a flipped condition. With no support behind your head, your neck could be seriously injured in a collision.

Head restraints are provided for Front row, Second row and Third row outboard occupants.

5.3 Second Row Captain Seats (if equipped)

Loading luggage on the seats is dangerous. The luggage can become a projectile that could hit and injure passengers in a sudden stop or collision. Luggage should always be kept on the floor.

To avoid serious injury, do not sit on or place objects on a folded seat back while the vehicle is moving.

5.3.1 Second Row Seat Recline

To change the second row seat back angle, lift the lever located on the outboard side of the seat, lean back, and release the lever at the desired position. To return the seat back, lift the lever, lean forward and release the lever. Make sure the recline lever returns to its original position and the seat back is locked in place by rocking the seat back forward/backward.

When returning the rear-reclined seat back to its upright position, make sure you support seat back while operating the lever.

5.3.2 Second Row Seat Folding (Third Row Seat Access)

The second row seat on left hand side can be flipped forward to provide way to access to the third row.

•

Lower the second row seat head restraint to the lowest position (else it will obstruct and hit the floor while folding)

•

Lift the lever located on the outward side of the seat to fold and flip the seat

•

As the seat leans forward halfway through, foldable seat lock gets unlocked to enable it to flip / fold

•

For Ingress, lift the lever by holding it at the bottom

•

For Egress, pull the lever by holding at the top of the lever

•

Push seat back to rear side of vehicle for locking

•

Pull seat back for upright position till it locks in desired position

•

Push seat cushion downward by sitting on it (>45 kg) for locking seat cushion

Return the seat back to its upright position in one continuous motion to securely lock the seat and in turn avoiding seat flipping forward suddenly leading to injuries.

If this happens, release the seat lock by pulling the lever and repeat the procedure.

Be cautious when placing your hands around the seat anchors. You could pinch your hands or fingers between the seat anchor and the seat. Hold the edge of the seat when lowering it into place. Never place your hands between the seat anchor and the seat.

5.4 Second Row Bench Seat (if equipped)

Second row bench seat is of 60:40 split configuration. The required seat back rest alone can be adjusted as per convenience.

5.4.1 Second Row Seat Recline

When returning the rear-reclined seat back to its upright position, make sure you support seat back while operating the lever.

5.4.2 Second Row Seat Folding (Third Row Seat Access)

The second row seat on left hand side can be flipped forward to provide way to access to the third row.

•

Lower the second row seat head restraint to the lowest position (else it will obstruct and hit the floor while folding)

•

Turn the lever towards counter clockwise as shown in image to fold and flip the seat

•

As the seat leans forward halfway through, foldable seat lock gets unlocked to enable it to flip / fold

•

Push seat back to rear side of vehicle for locking

•

Pull seat back cushion for upright position till it locks in desired position

•

Push seat bottom cushion downward by sitting on it (>45 kg) for proper locking seat cushion

Return the seat back to its upright position in one continuous motion to securely lock the seat and in turn avoiding seat flipping forward suddenly leading to injuries.

If this happens, release the seat lock by turn the lever and repeat the procedure.

5.5 Third Row Seats

Access to or exit from third row seat and luggage area is possible by completely folding the second row left hand side seat. Second row features captain seats (Individual seat configuration). Though both seats can be folded, only left hand side seat alone can be folded and flipped to gain access to third row seat.

5.5.1 Third Row Seat Folding

The third row seats can be folded flat to maximise the luggage space.

To fold the third row seat, unlock the seat back by pulling the lever on the rear of the seat back outwards.

Similarly, lower the other half of third row seat to get a completely flat surface.

5.6 Seat Belts

5.6.1 General Warnings and Instructions

At least once each month, inspect the seat belt webbing for any cuts, tears, or other signs of wear (such as fraying along the edges). Also inspect the anchors, retractors, and buckles to be sure they are tight and operational.

•

All occupants, including the driver, should always wear their seat belt no matter how short the trip in order to minimise the risk of severe injury in the event of a crash. In an accident, an un-belted passenger becomes a projectile, and can cause serious injury to himself or another passenger

•

In a rollover crash, an un-belted person is significantly more likely prone to injury than a person wearing a seat belt

•

In order to be properly buckled, you must always sit up straight and keep your feet on the floor in front of you. The lap part must be worn low and tight across your hips, just touching the top of your thighs. While fastening the seat belt, the shoulder strap of the seat belt must pass over your chest and top of your shoulder. It must never touch your neck, face, the side of your shoulder, arm, or pass under your arm. The belt must always be flat against your body and not twisted in any way. Nothing, such as an armrest, a pocketbook, or any external objects should be between you and the seat belt. Improper wearing of a seat belt will reduce the protection in an accident

•

Seat belts should be adjusted as tightly as possible, consistent with comfort to properly secure the wearer in the seat

•

The seat belts provided for your vehicle are designed for people of adult size, must be properly used and maintained

•

For usage of adult seat belt to secure children, refer to section on manual for child seat positions and use a child restraint system

•

Passengers should not move out of or change seats while the vehicle is moving. A passenger who is not wearing a seat belt can be thrown against the inside of the vehicle, against other occupants, or out of the vehicle during a crash or emergency stop

•

Do not use any accessories on seat belts or modify in any way the seat belt system. Devices claiming to improve occupant comfort or reposition the seat belt can reduce the protection provided by the seat belt and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash

•

An accident or emergency stop, can damage your seat belt system, even if the accident is “minor”. Please have your Authorised Mahindra Dealer inspect the seat belt system after an accident

•

Please be aware that any unsecured item in your vehicle, such as your pet, unsecured child restraint system, a laptop or mobile phones, can become a projectile in the event of an accident or sudden stop, causing injuries to occupants in the vehicle

Never use a damaged seat belt system. A damaged seat belt will not provide protection in an accident, resulting in serious injury.

•

Seat belt systems can be prone to abuse. They are not indestructible. They must be handled with care to avoid damage

•

Keep the belts clean and dry. Belt retraction may become difficult if the belts and webbing are soiled. If they need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water. Never use bleach, dye, or abrasive cleaners. These chemicals will severely weaken the belts

•

Retractors in 3-point type seat belts retract the seat belts when not in use. The inertia lock and coil spring allow the belts to remain comfortable on users during normal driving. During accidents or abrupt stops, inertia locks restrict the sudden forward movement of the wearer

Seat Belts - Patients

Persons with serious medical conditions should also wear a seat belt. Consult your doctor for specific recommendations before travel.

Seat Belts - Pregnant Women

Pregnant women must also wear seat belts. Consult your doctor for specific recommendations.

The lap belt should be worn snugly and as low as possible over the hips. The shoulder belt should be worn across your shoulder, but never across the stomach area. When worn properly, the seat belt will protect both the mother and the foetus in an accident or emergency stop.

A pregnant woman should never wear the seat belt across the stomach area. This could lead to serious injuries to the foetus and/or the pregnant mother.

Never wear twisted seat belts. Excessive forces will be transferred from the belt to the wearer, in a collision, resulting in serious personal injury.

Each seat belt is meant for use by one person only. Using one seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. The seat belt will not be able to spread the impact forces properly leading to serious injuries.

Never put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant's lap. This could lead to serious injuries.

Seat Belt Usage is necessary to:

•

Reduce the possibility of being thrown from your vehicle

•

Reduce the possibility of injuries to upper body, lower body and legs during an accident

•

Hold the driver in a position which allows better control of the vehicle

Children who are too large for child restraint systems should always occupy the rear seat and use the vehicle seat belts. The lap portion should be fastened snug on the hips and as low as possible and the shoulder strap should be across the child's shoulder, not the neck or face. If you are unable to position the strap across the child's shoulder, the child should remain in a booster seat. Frequently check the seat belt to be sure it remains snug and in position. A squirming child could cause the seat belt to come out of position.

5.6.2 Fastening the Seat Belt (3-Point type)

Adjust the seat as needed, sit up straight and well back in the seat. To fasten your seat belt, pull the webbing out of the retractor and insert the metal tab into the buckle. An audible “click” would be heard when the tab locks into the buckle. Pull up on the shoulder strap to tighten the lap belt across your hips. The seat belt retractor will pull in any slack in the shoulder strap. A slow and easy motion will allow the belt to extend and let you move your body around freely.

Periodically check the seat belt as you ride to be sure it remains snug and in position. If there is a sudden stop or impact, the belt will lock into position. It will also lock (restrict) if you try to lean forward too quickly.

If the driver or co-driver seat belt is not fastened when the ignition is switched ON, the seat belt warning lamp illuminates and chimes beat will turn till seat belt fastened. Refer “Warning Lamps” in the “Features and Control” chapter for further details.

5.6.3 Unfastening the Seat Belt (Both 3-Point & 2-Point)

To release the belt, press the buckle release button and allow the belt to retract. If the belt does not retract smoothly, pull it out and check for kinks or twists. Then make sure it remains untwisted as it retracts.

Never insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and may cause damage to the buckle mechanism, thereby making the seat belt ineffective in an accident, resulting in serious personal injury.

5.7 Seating Positions for Child Restraint System (CRS)

Use a child restraint system only if the child is not big enough to properly wear the seat belts. Else, use the regular seat belt instead of the child restraint system. Make child to seat in the rear seat and use the child anchor or seat belt. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. Always secure a child in a proper child restraint system in accordance with age and size of the child as recommended by the child restraint system manufacturer

Do not allow children to stand up or kneel on either the rear or the front seats. An unrestrained child could suffer serious injuries during emergency braking or collision.

It is also not recommended that children travel sitting on your lap as it does not provide sufficient restraint.

6 SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) includes airbags, pre-tensioners and ECU. The airbags are designed to provide further protection to the vehicle occupants in addition to the primary protection provided by the seat belts and seat belt pre-tensioners.

The primary components of the system are the sensors which measure the crash severity. In the event of a significant frontal impact, the SRS airbags inflate to work in conjunction with the seat belts and help reduce injuries mainly to the driver's and front passenger's head/chest.

Seat belts are the primary restraint system in the vehicle. An airbag provides supplemental protection in addition to the seat belts.

All occupants, including the driver, should always wear their seat belts to minimise the risk of severe injury in the event of a crash.

Airbags are more effective in reducing injuries when the seat belts are worn.

6.1 Airbags

Your vehicle is equipped with the following airbags:

•

A frontal airbag for the driver in Steering wheel hub

•

A frontal airbag for the front passenger in the passenger side instrument panel

They are indicated by “AIRBAG” embossed on the covers.

An airbag is not designed to deploy in every type of crash. Depending on the type of accident or impact, the front airbags independently deploy thereby protecting the occupants. It is not necessary that ALL the airbags deploy during an accident.

To minimise the risk of severe injury in the event of a crash, every passenger must always wear their seat belt (see the chapter on Seat Belts in this manual). The airbags inflate very quickly with great force. Do not position any part of your body too close to airbag, you or especially children could be seriously injured/killed by a deploying airbag.

6.2 Driver and Front Passenger Airbag

Your vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (Airbag) and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver and front passenger seating positions. The indications of the system's presence are the letters “AIRBAG” embossed on the airbag pad cover in the steering wheel and the passenger's side front panel pad above the glove box.

The SRS is designed to deploy the front airbag only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than ± 30° from the forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle.

Front airbag are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear impact or rollover crashes. In addition, front airbag will not deploy in frontal crashes which are below the prescribed deployment threshold where risk of serious injuries is low.

Do not place any objects over the airbag or between the airbag and yourself.

6.3 Passenger Airbag Switch

ON/Activated

OFF/Deactivated

Passenger airbag (PAB) can be switched OFF/deactivated manually by ignition key when there is no passenger in co-driver seat or if any child sitting on co-driver seat.

PAB ON/OFF switch is located on the left side surface of the instrument panel.

•

Customer should deactivate when there is no passenger in
co-driver seat or if any child sitting on co-driver seat

•

When switch is in OFF condition tell-tale will be ON on IP switch bank and message will come in cluster only high and high plus variants

•

Once the PAB is made off, If customer wants to activate again then PAB deactivation switch to made ON manually by using key

Co-Driver Seat Belt Reminder

PAB Deactivation Indicator

•

To operate the switch vehicle key should be used

6.4 Airbag System Malfunction Lamp

Airbags do not require any regular maintenance of service. The airbag system malfunction lamp illuminates when the ignition is ON, and it turns OFF after about 3 seconds. as self check confirming normal operations of airbag system and malfunction lamp.

This lamp monitors airbag sensor assembly, airbag sensors, indicator lamp, seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies, inflators, interconnecting wiring and power sources.

If either of the following conditions occur, there is a malfunction of the airbags or seat belt pre-tensioner. Immediately contact your Authorised Mahindra Dealer.

•

The lamp does not glow when the ignition is switched ON or glows beyond six (6) secs. after switching the ignition ON

•

The lamp comes ON at any other time, even briefly

•

The lamp comes ON intermittently

Never make any modifications to your vehicle which could affect the performance of your airbag system. In particular, changes to the vehicle frame, bumpers, bull bar, front fenders, ride height, suspension, seat belts, interior trim, seats or steering wheel (especially covers, pads or other trim), could prevent proper deployment of the airbag. If you need to make any modifications to accommodate any disability you may have, please contact your Authorised Mahindra Dealer.

Never try to open or strike the airbag cover. If the airbag cover is cracked or damaged in any way, the airbag may not function as intended. Take the vehicle to an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.

Even if the airbags do not deploy during an accident, take your vehicle to an Authorised Mahindra Dealer for a thorough inspection of the airbag and seat belt systems, no matter how minor the accident. The airbag system could have been damaged, and may not work as intended in the future, resulting in serious injury.

6.5 Airbag Inflation/Deployment

The airbag sensors constantly monitor the forward deceleration of the vehicle. If an impact results in a forward deceleration beyond the designed threshold level, the system triggers the airbag inflators. This initiates a chemical reaction which quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas.

Upon deployment, tear seams moulded directly into the pad covers separate under pressure from the expansion of the airbags. Further opening of the covers allows full inflation of the airbags. A fully inflated airbag, in combination with a properly worn seat belt, slows the driver's or the passenger's forward motion, reducing the risk of head and chest injury.

After complete inflation, the airbag immediately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility and the ability to manoeuvre or operate other controls.

Deployment of the airbags happen in a fraction of a second, producing a loud noise releasing a ‘white smoke’ and residue along with a non-toxic gas. This does not indicate a fire. This smoke may remain inside the vehicle for some time, and may cause some minor irritation to the eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure to wash off any residue with soap and water as soon as possible to prevent any potential skin irritation. If you can safely exit the vehicle, you should do so immediately.

Airbag deployment may cause windshield to break.

•

Do not modify, remove, strike or open the seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies, airbag sensor or surrounding area or wiring. Failure to follow these instructions may prevent them from activating correctly, cause sudden operation of the system or disable the system, which could result in serious injury

•

Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) may be hot for several minutes after deployment. The airbags inflate only once

•

Do not cover the steering wheel, instrument panel with any object (e.g. dash panel covers) which may prevent the airbags from inflating properly

•

The airbags inflate with considerable force. While the system is designed to reduce serious injuries, primarily to the head and chest, it may also cause other, less severe injuries to the face, chest, arms and hands. These are usually in the nature of minor burns or abrasions and swelling, but the force of a deploying airbag can also cause more serious injuries, especially if an occupant's hands, arms, chest or head is in close proximity to the airbag module at the time of deployment. Sit straight and well back into the seat. Move your seat as far back as practical to allow room for airbag inflation, while still allowing you to properly operate/drive the vehicle

The front passenger should never sit on the edge of the seat, stand near the glove compartment, rest feet or other parts of the body on the dashboard when the vehicle is moving.

The driver or front passenger who is too close to the steering wheel or dashboard can be seriously injured during airbag deployment.

•

The driver must sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel while still maintaining control of the vehicle

•

The front passenger must sit as far back as possible from the dashboard

•

Sitting improperly or out of position can cause occupants to be shifted too close to a deploying airbag, strike the interior structure or be thrown from the vehicle resulting in serious injury

•

Always sit upright with the seat back in an upright position, on the seat cushion centre with your seat belt on, legs comfortably extended and your feet on the floor

•

All vehicle occupants must be properly restrained using the seat belts

•

All infants and children must be placed in the rear seat of the vehicle in a child restraint seat and be properly restrained by seat belts

•

Front airbags can injure occupants improperly positioned in the front seats

•

Even with airbags, improperly belted and un-belted occupants can be severely injured when the airbag inflates. Always follow the precautions about seat belts, airbags and occupant safety contained in this manual

•

Do not modify the front seats. Modification of the front seats could interfere with the operation of the supplemental restraint system or side impact airbags

•

Do not place items under the front seats. Placing items under the front seats could interfere with the operation of the supplemental restraint system sensing components and wiring harnesses

6.6 Child Restraint and Airbag

Never place a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger’s seat. If the airbag deploys, injuries to the child may be fatal.

In addition, do not place front-facing child restraints in the front passenger’s seat either. If the front passenger airbag inflates, it could cause serious or fatal injuries to the child.

Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rear-facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!

Never put a child restraint in the front passenger’s seat. If the front passenger airbag inflates, it can cause serious or fatal injuries.

Never hold an infant or child on your lap. The infant or child could be seriously injured in the event of a crash. All infants and children should be properly restrained in appropriate child safety seats or seat belts in the rear seat.

Instal the child restraint system on the rear outboard seats, and securely lock the child restraint system in position with the help of ISOFIX.

Always Buckle Children (ABC) in the back seat. It is the safest place for children of any age to ride.

6.7 Airbag Deployment

The images shown in this section are for illustrative purpose only. They may not look like your model/variant or vehicle.

Front Airbag

Front airbag are designed to inflate in a frontal collision depending on the intensity, speed or angles of impact of the front collision.

Airbag Non-deployment

Impacts below a pre-determined threshold level may not cause the airbag to deploy in the following cases:

•

Collision with Utility Poles or Trees -

Airbags may not inflate if the vehicle collides with objects such as utility poles or trees, where the point of impact is concentrated to one area and the full force of the impact is not delivered to the sensors.

•

Under-ride Situations -

Running under a truck's may not provide the decelerations necessary for airbag deployment. Airbags will not inflate in this “under-ride” situation where deceleration forces that are detected by sensors are significantly low.

Rear-end Collisions -

Frontal airbags are not designed to inflate in rear collisions, where occupants are moved backward away from the airbags by the force of the impact. In this case, inflated airbags would not be able to provide any additional benefit.

•

Frontal Impact -

Frontal impact beyond 30º range from head-on to the vehicle.

•

Potholes or Stepped Surfaces -

Driving into a big pothole, stepped surface or hitting the far side of a hole/incline will not inflate the airbag.

•

Rollover -

Airbags will not inflate in rollover accidents where airbag deployment would not provide protection to the occupants.

Frontal Side Swipe Impact -

Frontal offset impact to the vehicle may not provide the deceleration force necessary for airbag deployment. In an angled collision, the force of impact may direct the occupants in a direction where the airbags would not be able to provide any additional benefit, and thus the sensors may not deploy any airbags.

6.8 Airbag Replacement

Self-servicing or tampering with the airbag system is dangerous. An airbag could accidentally deploy causing serious injuries, or will not deploy when there is a need. Always take your vehicle to an Authorised Mahindra Dealer for inspection and repairs.

6.9 Self Removing SRS Related Parts

Self removing the instrument panel, steering wheel, seat belts or airbag related parts or sensors is not recommended. Airbags could accidentally activate and cause serious injuries, or they may not deploy when there is a need. Visit an Authorised Mahindra Dealer if these parts must be removed.

6.10 Airbag Disposal

Improper disposal of an airbag or a vehicle with live airbags can be extremely dangerous. Approach an Authorised Mahindra Dealer to do these jobs.

6.11 Airbag Repair

If the front airbag cover or IP airbag cover shows signs of damage or having been removed, the vehicle should be towed to the nearest Authorised Mahindra Dealer for repair. Do not attempt to self repair or reinstal the cover.

6.12 Airbag Maintenance

For cleaning the airbag covers/areas, use only a soft dry cloth or one which has been moistened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper deployment of the system.

10 REVERSE PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (RPAS)
(if equipped)

Reverse parking assistance system is provided to aid the driver while parking the vehicle in reverse at a speed of less than 5kmph.

While reversing, RPAS will detect the obstacles at the rear side of the vehicle within the sensing zone, which cannot be viewed through the internal rear view mirror and the outside rear view mirrors.

The RPAS will then alert the driver by sending out sound alarms at different frequency to indicate proximity of the obstacle from the vehicle.

The alert sound level is proportional to the distance.

Lesser the distance, shorter the interval between beeps.

10.1 RPAS Sensors

Four RPAS sensors are located at the rear bumper to assist driver for hassle-free parking.

Magnetic devices present in the detection range could vastly affect the sensor performance and the distance displayed may not be accurate.

Always keep the sensors clean and free from ice formation, dust, water etc. for proper working of the system.

Do not press or shock the sensors by hitting or using a high-pressure water gun while washing. The sensors could be damaged.

10.2 Driving and Operation

•

RPAS is an aiding system. Under no circumstances mahindra will accept any responsibility or can be held liable for any direct or indirect, incidental or consequential damage caused by this system

•

System will not sense pot holes, trenches or drainages which are below the ground level

•

Repainting of the sensor will affect the performance of the system

Activation & De-activation of RPAS

•

The vehicle should be in IGN ON state to activate the reverse parking assistance system

•

RPAS will be activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged and deactivate when reverse gear is disengaged

•

When the obstacles come in the sensing range, the systems start giving the indication based on the distance and direction of the obstacles as defined in the detecting zones. The closer the obstacles, more display bars illuminated & beeps alerts

10.3 RPAS Information on Infotainment

RPAS display on the infotainment screen gives the following information:

•

Left Corner zone indicates obstacle on left side

•

Left Centre zone indicates obstacle left centre side

•

Right Centre zone indicates obstacle on right centre side

•

Right Corner zone indicates obstacle on right side

12 bars in centre and 8 bars in corner indicate how close the obstacle is from the vehicle rear bumper, with bar 1 being very close and bar 12 being distant.

Centre sensor coverage range is 120 cm and corner sensor coverage range is 80 cm

10.4 Operation of RPAS

Start the vehicle (IGN is turned ON)

Change the gear to reverse (engage the reverse gear).The RPAS will be displayed as like below in the infotainment screen.

Start moving the vehicle in the reverse direction

Display bars in the respective direction will glow according to obstacles in its path

Distance indicator will display the distance in multiples of 2 cm, whichever is shortest

The Beep sound can be heard from the driver side speaker. Frequency of the beep will increase if obstacle comes closer (crossing each display bar) and the sound will be continuous if any of the obstacle is less than 50 cm.

The RPAS distance displayed will be the minimum of distances sensed by left and right sensors. And 120 cm is the maximum detection range.

For Example:

Assume 2 obstacles are placed as mentioned below:

•

Obstacle at left at 76 cm

•

Obstacle at right at 98 cm

On engaging the gear in reverse, infotainment will display as below:

Since obstacle is at 76 cm in right - minimum distance is shown in the distance indicator.

Along with this beep sound can be heard from driver side speaker. Frequency of the beep will increase if obstacle comes closer and the sound will be continuous if any of the obstacles is less than 50 cm.

10.5 Pay Attention

If display bars in any one of the sides are displayed with cross marks, contact an Authorised Mahindra Dealer

If all display bars are displayed with cross marks, contact an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.

Obstacle in the blind zone cannot be sensed by the system.

Please check the condition of the obstacle behind your vehicle before reversing. In some cases, the display may be not as same as reality due to the installed sensor level, obstacle shape and reflection condition.

Point B will be detected sooner or later, but A may not be detected at all.

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.

The distance indication may move up and down due to different sizes of the obstacle at different positions.

Though the obstacle is in the sensing zone, obstacle may not be detected since the ultrasonic waves are not reflected back to the sensor.

The obstacle of a conical shape may not be detected, since the ultrasonic waves get reflected away.

10.6 Limitations of RPAS

•

System may not sense obstacles like wire mesh, handrail, small objects which are below the bumper level

•

System may not sense obstacles with cotton or spongy surface, which will absorb ultrasonic waves emitted by RPAS

•

System performance is dependent on the reflection angle of the obstacle

•

System may give false alert without obstacles while reversing the vehicle on grasslands, gravels and bumpy roads considering it to be an obstacle

•

System may alert you by sensing the ground when the bumper is not fitted in its intended position or when the vehicle is overloaded

•

System may give false signal while the vehicle moves from plain ground to a slope terrain and vice versa

•

System may give false signal by sensing the ground when the bumper is tilted more from the normal position or when the vehicle is heavily overloaded

•

System may give false signal an alarm during heavy rain, snow and heavy wind conditions

•

The shape of the obstacle may prevent a sensor from detecting it. Some obstacles for example as follows:

–

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

11 REAR VIEW CAMERA (RVC) (if equipped)

Rear View Camera is located under the tail gate applique.

Rear View Camera assists the driver when reversing & manoeuvring the Car at lower speeds. It has the following features:

•

Wider Rear View

•

Zoom-In View

•

Static & Dynamic Guidelines

•

•

RPAS Sensor Overlays

11.1 Feature Description

11.1.1 Wider Rear View

Rear view camera (RVC) provides a wider 125 Deg Horizontal View and 98 Deg Vertical View.

It overcomes the limitation of IRVM, where the ground is visible only after a distance from the vehicle rear. Whereas with the RVC, the ground will be visible right after 30 cm, from the Vehicle’s Rear.

11.1.2 Zoom-In View

Press the Zoom-In button to view objects closer and press the Zoom-Out button to go back to the normal parking.

11.1.3 Static & Dynamic Guidelines

•

Static Guidelines indicate the placement of the vehicle with respect to the ground plane.

For example

During parking, we can compare the Static Guidelines against the Parking Slot Lines, to know if our vehicle placement is in line with the parking slot lines. Dynamic Guidelines indicate the path the vehicle will traverse with the current steering angle.

•

Dynamic Guidelines indicate the path the vehicle will traverse with the current steering angle

This will help the driver in adjusting the steering, so that the vehicle does not hit any obstacles on its way.

Colour coding on the dynamic lines help in assessing the distance of the obstacles from the vehicles’ rear. In the RVC Video, if the Red coloured section of the Dynamic Line falls on the object, then the Object is within 1 metre distance from the vehicle’s rear. Likewise Yellow indicates 1-2 mts, Green indicates 2-5 mts.

11.1.4 Parking Assistance with Voice Guidance

This feature assists the driver during parallel and angular parking. It assists the driver during parking, through visual overlays and voice guidance.

Normal Parking

Choose the “Parallel parking” function on HMI

After selection, the infotainment displays the below screen:

Start driving the vehicle in forward gear to front of the selected parking slot in a way that vehicle rear side is facing the selected parking slot and camera shows the selected slot. Choose the parking position on right side/left side and make sure that no obstacles/vehicles are in the blue box area after the red pole. The red pole should match with the front/rear bumper of the parked vehicle. Red pole is used as a reference for the desired starting position as shown.

Ensure there is enough space (min. 3 ft) sideways between your vehicle and the parked vehicle before engaging reverse.

Parking in selected slot

Start adjusting the steering wheel to desired side (left/right) and confirm the parking area. Keep adjusting the steering wheel until the box colour turns to green colour as shown.

Green colour: Represents suitable parking location. You can try an attempt to park.

Red colour: Represents unsafe/potential risk parking. Your vehicle may hit the side of the vehicle already parked.

Blue colour: Represents unsafe/potential risk parking. Final parking length will be larger than the desired length of parking space. May lead to wrong vehicle direction movement.

Green/Blue/Red colours in this mode show are for guiding the vehicle to the parking slot and it would not detect the obstacles or alert the driver in that zone. It is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure there are no obstacles/vehicles which can lead to damage while parking.

Parking

Once the box turns to green colour, hold the steering wheel in the same position and start driving back. Green colour box is replaced with an arc line when the vehicle starts moving. When the arc touches the parking slot end position, stop the vehicle and rotate the steering wheel to the maximum in the opposite direction. Arc is then replaced by dynamic & static parking lines. Continue to park the vehicle in the same steering wheel position.

Complete parking

Return the steering wheel to centre, and back the vehicle to the desired area when the fixed parking guideline becomes parallel to the desired parking slot.

Press Exit button to go to Infotainment functions.

•

It is driver’s responsibility to identify the suitable parking area to park his car safely

•

Rear-view video is shown, whenever reverse gear is applied, but it cannot be used as a rear-view monitoring system, which cannot replace the driver for looking into exterior and interior view mirrors

Rear View Camera is only meant to aid the driver and to enhance convenience while parking. It does not in any way replace the driver’s abilities and driving skills while using this system.

Under any circumstances, Mahindra accepts no responsibility and cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect, incidental or consequential damage caused by this system.

12 STEERING AND BRAKES

12.1 Steering

Your vehicle is equipped with an Electric power steering system (EPS). There is no fluid reservoir to check or fill. EPS uses energy from the battery to decrease the driver's effort in steering the vehicle. The EPS system will give you good vehicle response and increased ease of manoeuvrability in tight spaces. If for some reason the power assist is interrupted, it will provide mechanical steering capability to steer the vehicle. Under these conditions, you will observe a substantial increase in steering effort.

When driving in rough/off roads, hold the steering wheel rim, do not hold the wheel spokes. A sudden bump can jerk/turn the wheel and injure your hand. This may also lead to loss of vehicle control.

The EPS warning light should only be illuminated with the ignition ON before starting the engine.

If the warning light remains illuminated after the engine has been started, there will be no assistance from power steering. The vehicle may be driven using the mechanical steering system although it is not recommended as the effort to turn the steering wheel will be significantly high. In this case, contact an Authorised Mahindra Dealer immediately.

Keep both hands on the steering wheel, with the thumbs resting on the outer wheel rim.

To help prevent damage to the power steering motor:

•

Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme right or the extreme left for more than a few secs. when the engine is running

If the Electric power steering system breaks down (or if the engine is turned OFF), you can still steer the vehicle manually, but it takes more effort.

If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:

•

Under inflated tyre(s) on any wheel(s)

•

Uneven vehicle loading

•

High crown in the centre of the road

•

High crosswinds

•

Wheels out of alignment

•

SAS (Steering Angle Sensor) calibration

•

Wheels out of balance

•

Loose or worn suspension components

12.1.1 Tilt Steering

The steering wheel can be adjusted for rake as required using the lever in the steering shroud under the steering wheel.

To tilt/adjust the steering wheel:

Pull the tilt lever down to unlock.

Raise or lower the steering wheel to the desired position.

Push the tilt lever back up to its original position to lock the steering.

Improperly locked steering wheel could cause loss of control and lead to accidents. Never adjust the steering wheel while driving.

12.2 Steering Controls - Audio (if equipped)

The steering wheel also houses switches to control the main audio functions.

12.2.1 Steering Audio Operations

A	Mute	D	Source Selection (SRC)
B	Volume + / - (Toggle Type)	E	Seek Up / Down (Toggle Type)
C	Call Disconnect (Push Type)	F	Call Connect / VCT (Push Type)

•

TO TURN AUDIO ON/OFF - Press the mute button for 2 secs.

•

USB MODE - Press 'UP' / 'DOWN' button to go to
next / previous track

TUNER MODE - Press 'UP' / 'DOWN' button to go to next / previous frequency. Press 'UP' / 'DOWN' button for 2 secs. to AUTO TUNE

12.3 Brakes

Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes in the front and rear wheels.

Disc brakes offer good braking capability and reduced stopping distance. Wet brake discs result in reduced braking efficiency. After a car wash or driving the vehicle through water, pump the brake pedal mildly while driving to remove the film of water from the brake pads.

Brake pads feature mechanical wear indicator. When the brake pad is worn, metallic squeal noise is heard indicating the pad wear. Have them replaced immediately.

Driving with wet brakes is dangerous. Stopping distance increases considerably when braking.

Dry the brakes by driving at very slow speed and applying the brakes lightly until the brake performance becomes normal.

Even if the power assist (vacuum assistance) is completely lost, the brakes will still work. The brake pedal would be much harder than normal and the vehicle stopping / braking distance will be longer than usual.

12.3.1 Parking on a Hill/Incline

If you have to park facing uphill, select first gear and turn the front wheels away from the kerb. If you have to park facing downhill, select reverse gear and turn the front wheels towards the kerb. Always ensure that the vehicle is in gear and parking brakes is engaged before leaving the vehicle.

12.3.2 Parking Brake

To apply the parking brake, hold and pull the park brake lever up as firmly as possible. When the parking brake is applied with the ignition ON, the brake warning lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates. To release the parking brake, pull the parking brake lever up slightly, press the release button on the bottom of the lever and lower the parking brake lever completely.

The brake warning lamp indicates only the parking brake status. It does not indicate the degree of brake application. Be sure the parking brake is firmly set when parked and the gear shift lever is in gear. When parking on a hill; first apply the parking brake; after that shift the gear lever to 1st gear. This will avoid the load on the transmission, locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of gear.

Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving off. Failure to do so can lead to brake problems due to excessive heating of the rear brakes. It will also result in reduced fuel efficiency; lowered brake pad life and rear brake squeal.

•

The parking brake should be adjusted as per recommended maintenance schedule

•

Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle, and be certain to leave the transmission in gear. Failure to do so may allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage, hit a bystander resulting in personal injury

•

Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake or the gear shift lever. Do not leave the key in the ignition. A child could move the vehicle leading to accidents

•

The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle

Engaging the parking brake while the vehicle is in motion can cause the rear wheels to lock up. You could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.

12.4 Hazard on Panic Braking

Hazard lamps are turned on automatically, upon panic braking when the vehicle speed is greater than 100 kmph. Hazard Lamps will flash for 5 secs. to indicate oncoming traffic.

12.5 Hazard Activation Upon Crash

Hazard lamps are turned on automatically in case of an unfortunate event of an accident where Airbags are deployed. In such a scenario, the hazard lamps will be on for 30 min or it can be turned off by operating Hazard switch (Off to On) or Ignition reset (Ignition Off and On)

Once activated hazard remains on for 30 minutes by default

Deactivation

•

30 minutes since activation is elapsed

•

Hazard switch On to Off transition is made

•

IGN turned Off and again turned On

12.6 Vehicle Breakdown Warning

In case of a brake down, hazards would be turned on automatically to indicate oncoming traffic. This feature will come into action upon opening the bonnet when vehicle speed is less than 5 kmph.

12.7 Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

The Anti-lock Brake System (also called as ABS) is designed to help prevent lock-up of the wheels and stable stopping of vehicle during a sudden, panic emergency braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. The ABS system takes input from wheel speed sensors and brake pedal switch to control the brake fluid pressures at the wheels to avoid wheel lock-up. It allows vehicle to be steered during braking.

The minimum speed for ABS to function is 12 kmph. ABS is activated only during wheel lock conditions where ABS takes over and prevents wheel lock.

During the ABS operation, a slight pulsation may be felt in the brake pedal to indicate ABS is active. You may also hear motor noise from the engine compartment. It is recommended to hold the brake pedal firmly while the ABS is active rather than pumping the brake pedal.

Depressing the brake pedal on slippery road surfaces as on a manhole cover, a steel plate at a construction site, a joint in a bridge, etc. on a rainy day, tends to activate the anti-lock brake system.

The ABS warning lamp lights up when you switch ON the ignition and should go out after a few secs. If the ABS warning lamp does not go out or if it comes ON while driving, it means there is a fault in the ABS system. In both cases, the normal braking system remains efficient, exactly as on a vehicle without ABS. The vehicle should be examined as soon as possible by an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.

The ABS is not designed to shorten the stopping distance: Always drive at a moderate speed and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. The stopping distance may be longer in the following cases:

•

Driving on rough, gravel or snow-covered roads

•

Driving with tyre chains installed

•

Driving over the steps such as the joints on the road

•

Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or differences in surface height

Do not overestimate the Anti-lock Brake System: Although the Anti-lock Brake System assists in providing vehicle control, it is still important to drive with all due care and maintain a moderate speed and safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. There are limits to the vehicle stability and effectiveness of steering wheel operation even with ABS active.

If tyre grip performance exceeds its capability, or if hydroplaning occurs during high speed driving in the rain, the Anti-lock Brake System will not assist with vehicle control.

12.8 Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
(if equipped)

EBD, as a subsystem of the ABS system, controls the effective adhesion utilisation of the rear wheels. EBD aids in distributing the brake forces more evenly leading to better vehicle stability during braking.

Typically, the front end carries more weight and EBD distributes less braking pressure to the rear brakes avoiding a lock up/skid.

For example, under light loads EBD applies less effort to the rear brakes and for heavy loads it allows full braking effort to the rear wheels.

A fault with EBD is indicated by illumination of the brake as well as ABS warning lamps. The vehicle should be examined as soon as possible by an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.

13 HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM (HVAC)

HVAC system provided in the vehicle enables occupants to automatically/manually adjust air flow distribution pattern, air flow rate, air intake mode and air temperature inside passenger compartment. By appropriately adjusting the control knobs/switches provided on the HVAC control panel, located on centre console, occupant’s comfort can be ensured. HVAC system also helps in defrosting and defogging / de-misting the windshield and windows.

Air flow direction can be further controlled by adjusting louvres of air vents. An air filter is provided at the inlet of HVAC blower.

Engine coolant is utilised to heat the cabin air. For cooling the cabin air, an air-condititioning circuit based on the vapour compression refrigeration cycle is used. The air-condititioning system uses a refrigerant along with a suitable lubricating oil. Although being non-ozone depleting, the refrigerant is a greenhouse gas, hence once allowed to escape in the atmosphere, it adversely affects the environment by contributing to global warming/climate change.

Refrigerant used in system is a hazardous liquefied gas and is under high pressure. The refrigerant is colourless and has ethereal or faint sweetish odour. Exposure of refrigerant to skin or eyes may cause irritation and frostbite. They can also cause suffocation, dizziness and loss of concentration. When mixed with compressed air or certain other refrigerants, it may form flammable mixture. Never try to service HVAC system yourself which would involve refrigerant handling.

Multiple vents are provided for distributing the air, being force-circulated by HVAC blower, throughout the passenger compartment.

To ensure sufficient air flow and hence adequate HVAC system performance, air flow path should be kept free of obstructions. Keep system’s air intake, located near plenum appliqué, free of snow, leaves and other debris. Also keep the area in front of air vents free of any obstruction inside the cabin.

Two centre vents are located on top of the infotainment screen in the centre console. The two side vents are located one each at the left and right extreme ends of the instrument panel. Both the centre and side vents provide air flow to the front seat passengers.

Rotate the thumb wheel (B) left to close or right to open the air vent. Direct air to the desired direction by the adjusting Louvres(A) up/down or left/right.

13.1.2 Defrost Vents - Side/Windshield

There are four defrost vents in your vehicle: two side defrost and two windshield defrost vents. They are located just below the windshield. The side defrost vents prevent the front windows from de-misting.

13.1.3 Second/Third Row Roof Vents

For second row cooling HVAC blower unit/vents are mounted on the centre of the roof. The vents have adjustable Louvres to direct the air flow.

The Roof mounted HVAC blower unit/vents supplies cooling to 2nd and 3rd row passengers.

13.3 Temperature Control

Cool Air

Hot Air

By operating the temperature control knob, temperature of air being discharged from various vents can be adjusted to the desired level. Engine coolant is utilised to heat, whereas the air-conditioner is used to cool the air inside the AC unit. Based upon selected position of the temperature control dial, the desired discharged air temperature can be obtained.

By rotating the dial counter-clockwise and setting it to the extreme left position, cool air is discharged.

When the dial is rotated clockwise, the discharged air progressively starts getting warmer.

By rotating the dial further in the clockwise direction and setting it to the extreme right position, hot air is discharged.

13.4 Blower Speed Control

The controls differ depending on the variant (Automatic or Manual Climate Control).

For Automatic Climate Control Variants

Blower force-circulates air through the HVAC unit and distributes it throughout the passenger compartment.

To increase the blower speed, rotate the control dial clockwise (B) and to reduce the blower speed, rotate the dial counter clockwise (A).

The same is also indicated in the infotainment screen (in Automatic Climate Control equipped vehicles).

The blower speed control dial is also used to switch ON the blower alone when needed. Use the OFF button on the switch bank to switch OFF the blower.

This blower speed control does not control the air flow to third row vents.

The blower OFF button turns the blower OFF. This in turn switches OFF the AC also.

The blower alone can be switched ON by rotating the blower control dial.

For Manual Climate Control Variants

Blower force-circulates air through the HVAC unit and distributes it throughout the passenger compartment.

To increase the blower speed, rotate the control dial clockwise (B) and to reduce the blower speed, rotate the dial counter clockwise (A).

To switch OFF the blower, rotate the dial to “0”.

Second and Third Row Blower Speed Control

A blower control is provided on the HVAC module mounted on Roof. This vent is to control the air flow to the third row vents.

Second and third row AC is switched ON by the Rear AC button on the central switch bank. The airflow is controlled by the blower control on the Roof mounted blower unit.

13.5 Economy Button (ECon)

ECON switch turns ON economy mode. During ECON AC operation, the system automatically cuts OFF at a higher temperature than normal AC. The operation can be used during mild weather conditions for better fuel efficiency. Comfort level may be compromised during this operation.

LED on the button indicates the status of the button. Press the ECON switch again to turn OFF economy mode.

13.6 Air-Conditioner ON (AC ON)

This button turns the air-conditioner ON or OFF. Adjust the temperature control dial as per the temperature requirement. LED on the button indicates the status. Push the button to turn ON/OFF the AC.

When the air-conditioner is functioning, air gets cooled and de-humidified before being circulated inside the cabin. In hot weather conditions, it will take a slightly longer time to cool the interior as compared to cooler weather. Fuel consumption will be relatively higher if the vehicle is being driven with the air-conditioner ON.

AC will function only when both engine and blower are switched ON.

•

In certain operating conditions when the engine gets overheated, the engine management system may switch off the air-conditioner intermittently

•

The air-conditioner should be operated at least for ten minutes once every fortnight, even during winter months. This allows AC system components to get lubricated periodically and ensures optimum system

•

During extreme cold weather conditions, the air-conditioner may not function until temperature of the air near the evaporator rises above a predefined threshold

•

When air-conditioner is ON, moisture is extracted from the air. The resulting condensate is drained off from the vehicle. It is therefore normal, if you see a small pool of water under your vehicle

13.7 Re-circulation Mode

To set the HVAC system to recirculation mode, press the recirculation mode button. The LED on the button illuminates, indicating the recirculation mode is active.

In this intake mode, the air from inside the passenger compartment will be sucked by the blower and utilised further to ventilate /cool / heat the cabin.

For quick cabin cooling/heating or while driving through dusty/polluted region, re-circulation mode can be selected for short periods. Driving with this mode active, may lead to better fuel economy and longer HVAC filter life.

However, running the air-conditioner in re-circulation mode for long will make cabin air too dry and oxygen level drops inside the cabin turning the air stale. On the contrary, keeping air intake control in recirculation mode for long, with air-conditioner switched OFF, will make cabin air too humid and are more likely to become foggy. Hence, never drive in recirculation mode for long, shift back to fresh air mode as soon as possible.

Never keep recirculation mode selected continuously for long. Prolonged use of the HVAC system in recirculation mode may cause windshield/windows to mist/fog-up, impairing visibility which can lead to an accident, endangering you and others.

13.8 Fresh Air Mode

Automatic Climate Control

To set the HVAC system to fresh air mode, press the fresh air mode button. The LED on this button illuminates, indicating that fresh air mode is active.

In this intake mode, fresh air from outside the vehicle is sucked by the blower and utilised further to ventilate/cool/heat the cabin.

Manual Climate Control

To set the HVAC system to fresh air mode, press the re-circulation mode button again. The LED on this button switches OFF, indicating that fresh air mode is active.

13.9 Rear AC

The rear AC provides cooling for the second and third row AC vents. LED on the button indicates the status.

The rear AC can be switched ON only when the AC button (front/second row AC) is ON.

13.10 Auto Mode (Automatic Climate Control only)

The auto mode can be used to control the complete air-conditioning operation of the vehicle automatically. The auto mode controls blower fan speeds, air intake mode, temperature and modes (vents) based on the set temperature.

All the air-conditioning operations can also be controlled manually as explained in the previous sections.

13.11 Air Distribution Mode Button

Air distribution mode button allows you to select the below air flow patterns:

•

Face Mode

•

Face and Floor Mode

•
