Failure to follow the warnings and instructions provided in this manual could result in failure of the vehicle, an accident and/or serious personal injury.

1. Carefully read, understand and follow the warnings and instructions given in this manual. This manual is an essential part of the product. Keep it in the vehicle glove box for future reference

2. Spare bulbs and first aid kit are placed in the glove box of the vehicle. Ensure they are not taken out of the vehicle at any point of time.

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

4. Never use a mobile phone, personal music device or pager while driving. This may take your focus off the road and lead to accidents

5. Please be advised that many service and repair tasks require specialized 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 your ability to properly service or repair your vehicle, please contact your Authorized Mahindra Dealer or a qualified technician

6. A person with a pacemaker should never contact the engine control unit or its cables to injectors, as this system carries high voltage which may adversely affect the functioning of the pacemaker

7. 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

8. 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

9. Examine tires 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

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

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

If the inspection reveals any damage or excessive wear, immediately replace or have the component serviced

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

14. The vehicle can be used only as a passenger vehicle. Any other use is improper, and may result in voiding the warranty

15. 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

16. 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

17. 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

18. Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers, 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 center of gravity of the vehicle increases as the vehicle is fully loaded on the roof carrier

1.4 To Owner’s 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 tires and should be no reason for concern. The condition should correct itself within 5-15 kms. of driving. If the disturbance persists, have the tires checked by an Authorized 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 nonprescription 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 Phone Warning

Use of electrical devices such as mobile phones, computers, portable radios or other by the driver while driving is dangerous. Dialing a number on a mobile phone while driving also ties up the driver's hands. Use of these services will cause the driver to be distracted and may lead to a serious accident. If a passenger is unable to use the device, pull off the road to a safe area before use. If use of a mobile phone is necessary despite this warning, use a hands free system to at least leave the hands free to drive the vehicle. Never use a mobile phone or other electrical devices while the vehicle is moving.

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 may 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

Protecting Our Environment

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

2.5 Fuses and Relays

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

Replacement fuse must be with the same rating as the one you have removed.

You can identify a blown fuse by a break in the filament. All fuses except high current fuses are press fit.

Never touch fuses with bare hands. Always use a fuse puller to remove and refit the fuses. The fuse puller is available in the IP fuse box.

Be careful while removing the relay, do not shake or apply excessive force to avoid damage to relay terminal.

2.6 Flat Tire

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.

GENERAL

Page 24

2-11

Never stop your vehicle in a traffic lane to change a tire. Keep driving until you reach a safe location.

The jack provided along with the vehicle is to be used only for changing a spare tire. 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 by-stander’s 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 tire and damage the rim than it is to risk being hit by oncoming traffic.

After changing a flat tire, never store the tire 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 tire;

2.6.1 Jack/Wheel Spanner/Warning Triangle

The warning triangle is:

• placed in a pouch behind the 3rd row seat/seat back (for 8 seat — front facing, 7 seat — captain seat variants)

• under the RH jump seat (for 7/9 seat — side facing variants)

The wheel spanner and spare wheel rod are:

• strapped to the 2nd row seat bottom (for 7/9 seat — side facing variants)

• strapped to the 3rd row seat bottom (for 8 seat — front facing, 7 seat — captain seat variants)

W12B13

The jack is located under the co-driver's seat. Rotate the jack handle to reduce the jack height and lift the jack out.

W12B14

GENERAL

Page 25

2-12

W12B15

2.6.2 Spare Wheel Removal

The 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.

• Locate the flap covering the securing nut below the rear luggage compartment floor carpet

W12B16

• Loosen the securing nut counter clockwise with a wheel spanner to winch down/ lower the secured spare wheel to the ground

W12B17

W12B18

• Tilt the securing bracket and remove it out of the spare wheel hub

GENERAL

Page 26

2-13

W12B19

• Remove/pull away the spare wheel

2.6.3 Wheel Nut Loosening

Wrap the tip of a screw driver with cloth, insert it near the lugs of the wheel cap (if equipped) and pry the cap away from the wheel.

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

W12B20

Always loosen the wheel nuts before raising the vehicle. Turn the wheel nuts counter clockwise to loosen as per the sequence. To get maximum leverage, fit the spanner to the nut so that the handle is on the left side. Grab the spanner near the end of the handle and push down on the handle. Be careful that the spanner does not slip off the 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 loosening/tightening the wheel nuts.

2.7 Jack Points

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

Rear jack up point - Under the rear axle.

2.7.1 Jacking

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

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

W12B22

Flat Tyre

B Chock Blocks

To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle end along with the extension into the jack and turn it clockwise with the jack handle. As the jack touches the vehicle and begins to lift, re-check that it is properly positioned. Raise it high enough ensuring the spare wheel can be installed, but not to raise up above the ‘yellow’ line. Remember you will need more ground clearance when putting on the spare tyre than when removing the flat tyre.

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

• Use the jack only for lifting your vehicle during wheel changing

• Do not raise the jack with someone in the vehicle

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

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

• Usable extended height of jack is up to the yellow line/mark. Do not raise the jack above the yellow line.

• Follow jacking instructions

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

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

Remove the wheel nuts. Lift the flat tyre straight off and place it aside. Roll the spare wheel into position and align the holes in the wheel with the bolts. Lift up the wheel and get at least the top bolt started through its hole. Wiggle the wheel and press it back over the other bolts.

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

W12B24

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.

Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the diagonally opposite wheel nuts using the wheel nut spanner. Turn the jack handle extension counter clockwise using the jack handle to lower the vehicle, making sure the handle remains firmly fitted onto the jack handle extension. Make sure the wheel spanner is securely engaged over the 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 other tools or any additional leverage other than your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot.

GENERAL

Page 29

2-16

W12B25

Improperly or loosely tightened wheel nuts are dangerous. The wheel could wobble or come off. This could result in loss of vehicle control and cause a serious accident. Always make sure all the wheel 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, check the wheel nuts are still tight after driving about 1,000 kms (Torque 120 Nm).

Put the wheel cap 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 reinstall 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 install it as soon as possible.

2.7.2 Restore the Tools, Jack and Flat Tyre Securely

Restore the tools and jack back to their respective locations. 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 put the floor carpet back. 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.

W12B26

W12B27

GENERAL

Page 30

5 SEATS AND SEAT BELTS

5.1 Driver Seat

5.1.1 Sitting in the Correct Position

W12E01

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

• Adjust the head restraint 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 top of the steering wheel freely

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

The seat should be adjusted while still maintaining control of the foot pedals, 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

W12E02

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

SEATS AND SEAT BELTS

Page 46

5-2

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

W12E03

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 a extremely reclined seat back to its upright position, make sure you support the seat back while operating the lever.

5.1.4 Driver Seat Height Adjust (if equipped)

W12E29

Lift/Push the seat height adjustment lever located on the outboard side of the driver seat to raise/lower the seat. Adjust the seat height such that you can depress the clutch pedal completely.

It is recommended to adjust the seat height only when the vehicle is stationary.

5.2 Head Restraint

The head restraint comprises of 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 restrain rearward motion of the head in a collision.

SEATS AND SEAT BELTS

Page 47

5-3

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

W12E04

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

To install, 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.

Head restraints are designed to support the head, not the back of the neck. The restraint must be positioned correctly to restrain rearward movement of the head in a collision. An incorrectly adjusted head restraint increases the risk of serious injury in the event of a collision.

Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the head restraint is above the centre line of the head. An incorrectly adjusted head restraint increases the risk of serious injury in the event of a collision.

Do not drive, or carry passengers with the head restraints removed from occupied seats. The absence of a correctly adjusted head restraint increases the risk of serious injury in the event of a collision. Never adjust the head restraints while the vehicle is in motion.

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.

5.3 Second Row Bench Seat

Loading cargo on the seats is dangerous. The cargo becomes a projectile that could hit and injure passengers in a sudden stop or collision. Cargo should always be kept on the floor.

Seat Recline

The second row seat back can be reclined forward/backward for maximum comfort.

SEATS AND SEAT BELTS

Page 48

5-4

To change the second row seat back angle, lean forward slightly while raising the recline levers on either side of the seat, lean back to the desired position and release the recline lever. Make sure the recline lever returns to its original position and the seat back is locked in place by attempting to push it forward and backward.

W12E07

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

SEATS AND SEAT BELTS

Seat Folding

The second-row seat can be flipped forward to provide more cargo space.

1. Lower the second-row seat head restraint to the lowest position

2. Recline and fold down the seat back (refer previous section for reclining the seat back)

W12E08

3. Pull the strap behind the seat to unlock and lift the seat base to vertical position

W12E09

4. To keep the seat in vertical folded position, hook the seat to the front seat head restraint rod with the holding strap kept in the small pocket in the seat bottom. Tighten the holding strap to securely hold the seat to the head restraint

Unhook the strap, when the seat needs to be unfolded and put the strap back in the pocket. Swing the whole seat-back down to lock the latch. Ensure the seat is locked.

A seat not secured with a holding strap is dangerous. Ensure that the stowed seats are secured with the holding straps. The holding strap and hook is kept in the pocket under the seat. Return the seat back to its position in one continuous motion to securely lock the seat and in turn avoiding the 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 Seat 60:40 (if equipped)

The second row seat has a optional 60:40 split with individual folding option.

• Swing the seat cushion fully up

• Fold the seat leg completely down

• Secure the seat by the Velcro strap provided on the back of the seat cushion

5.8 Seat Belts

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.

5.8.1 General Warnings and Instructions

• 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 unbelted passenger becomes a projectile, and can cause serious injury to himself or another passenger

• In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt

• Some people believe that wearing a seat belt will lead to entrapment in the vehicle after an accident. However, your chances of surviving the initial impact, being able to unbuckle yourself and escaping from the vehicle is much greater if you are belted

• 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. A slack belt will greatly reduce protection to the user and could cause additional injuries

SEATS AND SEAT BELTS

Page 55

5-11

W12E20

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

W12E21

• 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 or a laptop, 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

5.8.2 Seat Belts - Patients

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

SEATS AND SEAT BELTS

Page 56

5-12

5.8.3 Seat Belts - Pregnant Women

W12E22

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 ride with the seat back reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting against your chest. The seat belt provides 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 excessively, the lap portion of the belt may slide past hips and apply restraining forces directly to the abdomen, or the shoulder portion of the belt may contact the neck. The more the seat is reclined, the greater the risk of serious injury.

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. The child may be crushed in an accident or emergency stop.

5.8.4 Seat Belt Usage is Necessary to:

• Reduce the possibility of being thrown from your vehicle

• Reduce the possibility of injuries to 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.

Adjust the seat as needed and 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. There will be an audible “click” 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.

W12E25

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’s seat belt is not fastened when the ignition is switched ON, the seat belt warning lamp illuminates. Refer to ‘Warning Lamps’ in the ‘Features and Control’ chapter for further details.

5.8.6 Fastening the Seat Belt (2-Point Lap type)

This seat belt is applicable to the second row middle passenger seat. Insert the metal tab into the buckle until it snaps. Position the lap belt on the hips as low as possible.

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.

5.9 Child Restraints

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. Seat the child in the rear seat and use the 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.

SEATS AND SEAT BELTS

Page 59

5-15

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) (if equipped)

6.1 Introduction

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 pretensioners.

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 or 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 irrespective of presence of airbags to minimize the risk of severe injury in the event of a crash.

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

6.2 Airbag

Your vehicle has the following airbags:

• A frontal airbag for the driver

• A frontal airbag for the front passenger (if equipped)

Airbags are located in:

• The steering wheel hub

• The passenger side instrument panel

They are indicated by “SRS 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 minimize 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 a airbag, you or especially children could be seriously injured/killed by a deploying airbag.

6.2.1 Driver and Front Passenger Air Bag

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 “SRS AIR BAG” 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 airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than ± 30° from the forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if equipped)

W12F02

Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear impact or rollover crashes. In addition, front airbags 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.

6.2.2 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 two 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 Mahindra Dealer.

• 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

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 Authorized 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 Authorized Mahindra Dealer.

Even if the airbags do not deploy during an accident, take your vehicle to an authorized 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.

6.2.3 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 molded 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 maneuver 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.

• 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, 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 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.

CORRECT SEAT BELT

CORRECT SEAT BELT

POSITIONING

W12F05

• 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

6.2.4 Child Restraint and Airbag

CORRECT SEAT BELT

POSITIONING

W12F06

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

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if equipped)

Page 64

6-5

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.

Install the child restraint system on the rear outboard seats, and securely lock the child restraint system in position.

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

6.3 Airbag Deployment and Non-Deployment

6.3.1 Airbag Deployment

Bull bars and nudge guards are not recommended for variants with an airbag.

Front Airbag’s

Front airbagss 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’s to deploy in the following cases:

• Collision with Utility Poles or Trees

CORRECT SEAT BELT

POSITIONING

W12F07

CORRECT SEAT BELT

POSITIONING

W12F08

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.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if equipped)

Page 65

6-6

• 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. Airbags 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.

CORRECT SEAT BELT

POSITIONING

W12F09

Rear-end Collisions

CORRECT SEAT BELT

POSITIONING

W12F10

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.

W12F11

• 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.

W12F12

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if equipped)

• Rollover

W12F13

Airbags may not inflate in rollover accidents where airbag deployment would not provide protection to the occupants. However, side impact and curtain airbags may inflate when the vehicle is rolled over by a side impact collision.

• Frontal Side Swipe Impact

CORRECT SEAT BELT

POSITIONING

W12F14

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.

6.3.2 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 Authorized Mahindra Dealer for inspection and repairs.

6.3.3 Self Removing SRS Related Parts

Self removing the instrument panel, steering wheel, seats 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 Authorized Mahindra Dealer if these parts must be removed.

6.3.4 Airbag Disposal

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

6.3.5 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 Authorized Mahindra Dealer for repair. Do not attempt to self repair or reinstall the cover.

6.3.6 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.

• Do not cover the key grip with any material that cuts off RF waves

• Do not leave the key exposed to high temperatures for a long period, such as on the dashboard or hood under direct sunlight

• Do not put the key in any liquid or wash it in an ultrasonic washer

7.5 Engine Immobilizer System (if equipped)

An Engine Immobilizer System is a security system that prevents the vehicle being operated by an unauthorized person. The Engine immobilizer prevents the engine from being started unless it recognizes signals from the correct coded key.

The system is automatically activated when the key is removed from the ignition.

In order to safeguard the theft protection system of the vehicle, Mahindra will not supply EMS ECU (Engine Management System - Electronic Control Unit), vehicle keys and the ICU as a set for any vehicle.

7.5.1 Features of the Immobilizer System

• Prevents the vehicle being started by anyone not in possession of the correct vehicle key

• The vehicle is automatically protected after the key is removed from the ignition. At every ignition ON, if the vehicle does not recognize the correct key code, the engine check lamp will illuminate/blink and the engine cannot be started

• The vehicle will not be protected until the key has been taken out of the ignition

If the engine check lamp flashes or remains continuously illuminated after the ignition being switched ON, there is a system malfunction. Contact an Authorized Mahindra Dealer immediately.

Inserting the correct coded key in the ignition and switching the ignition ON, automatically deactivates the system. This enables the engine to start.

LOCKS AND KEYS

Page 76

7-10

In the event of the vehicle not starting with the correct key, switch off the ignition for a minimum of 1 minute and attempt to start the vehicle again.

Do not modify, remove or disassemble the engine immobilizer system. Any unauthorized changes or modifications can affect proper operation of the system and will void your warranty.

Do not attempt to install after market ‘push-button’ start systems. These systems may compromise your vehicle’s security system.

8.1.2 Smart Power Window with Anti-Pinch (applicable for driver door only) (if equipped)

Smart power window is one of the significant safety features with the anti-pinch function, which automatically reverses the direction of glass if an obstruction is detected during the express up mode.

This feature consists of three functions;

• Auto UP

• Auto DOWN

• Anti-Pinch during Auto UP

FEATURES AND CONTROL

Page 79

8-3

Auto UP

Pull the power window switch up for a moment and release. The glass moves all the way up automatically. You do not need to hold the switch till the glass closes.

Auto DOWN

Press the power window switch down for a moment and release. The glass moves all the way down automatically. You do not need to hold the switch till the glass comes down.

Anti-Pinch during Auto UP

During Auto up if any obstacle is detected with the force value ranging between 70~100 N (~7-10 kg), the controller senses the load and reverses the direction of the glass to downward direction for almost full stroke length.

However if the force against the glass is less than the specified value then this function does not operate.

All functions like Auto Up / Down and Anti-pinch during Auto UP are deactivated in case the vehicle battery terminals (positive or negative) are disconnected. Once the battery is reconnected, the smart power window learning should be done. However the normal power windows will still function.

8.1.3 Smart Power Window Learning Procedure

To initialize the function, the system has to learn one complete cycle. Repeat the below procedure for driver and co-driver windows separately.

• Lower the window glass to the extreme bottom most position by pressing the power window switch continuously down

• Raise the glass up by pulling the power window switch continuously, hold the switch up for two seconds after reaching the top most position. This will make the system understand the extreme top position of the glass

• Lower the glass down by pressing the power window switch continuously, hold the switch down for two seconds after reaching the lower most position. This will make the system understand the extreme low position of the glass

With the above action, the system understands one complete cycle and the controller learns the stroke length

In case of hard weather strip conditions in express up mode, the system treats it as an obstacle and the glass starts moving down. This can be avoided by checking the weather strip at frequent intervals

In case of anti-pinching, 5 times continuous anti-pinch at the same point makes the controller lose its memory. Re-learning smart power window needs to be done

8.2 Butterfly Window (Rear Quarter Window)

To open the rear quarter window (butterfly window), pull the latch handle towards you and swing it out completely. When closing the window, pull and lock the latch handle which will bring the rear quarter window back to its original closed position.
