A fuse is electric protection device. The fuse is placed in the
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
getting 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, of the same rating.
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.
Be careful while removing the relay, do not shake or apply
excessive force to avoid damage to relay terminal.
The battery mounted fuse box is connected to the positive terminal
of the battery. The battery mounted fuse box provide short circuit
protection for Battery to Main engine compartment fuse box &
Electric cooling fan.

Glow plug relay box is located in front of the Engine compartment
fuse box on the battery mounting bracket.
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 bystander’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 tyre
and damage the rim than take the risk of being hit by oncoming
traffic.
2.7 Flat tyre
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.

2.8.1 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.
GENERAL
Flat Tyre
A
BChock Blocks
To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle end along with the wheel
spanner into the jack and turn it clockwise with the jack handle. 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 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 bolts. 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 holes on the hub. Lift up the wheel and get at least
the top bolt aligned through its hole. Wiggle the wheel and fix the
other bolts.
Re-install the wheel bolts inward and tighten by hand. Press the
wheel inward and tighten the wheel bolts further.
Never use oil or grease on the bolts . Doing so may lead to over
tightening of the bolts, wheel nut spanner slip, damage the bolts
and also may cause personal injuries. Also, bolts may loosen
and the wheels may fall off, which could cause a serious
accident. If there is oil or grease on any bolt , clean before
installing.
Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the diagonally opposite
wheel bolts 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 bolt. Tighten each bolt a little at a time in the
diagonally opposite order as shown. Repeat the process until all the
bolts are tight. Do not use other tools or any additional leverage
other than your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot.
Improperly or loosely tightened wheel bolts 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 bolts 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 bolts 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 bolts are still tight 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 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.
2.8.2 Restore the Tools, Jack and Flat Tyre Securely
Restore the tools and jack back to their respective locations. Mount
the flat tyre to the spare wheel bracket at the luggage
compartment. Put the tool kit organiser back and firmly tighten the
securing bolts.
It is recommended to fix the flat tyre at the nearest tyre shop
and swap the spare wheel back. The wheel balance and
alignment differ from wheel to wheel which may lead to
difference in steering and braking.

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.

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)
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 are able to depress the clutch pedal
completely.
It is recommended to adjust the seat height only when the
vehicle is stationary.
5.2.1 Fixed Head Restraint (If applicable)
Your vehicle front seats are equipped with fixed head restraints.
The head restraint help to avoid the whiplash injury on the neck in
the event of rear collision.
The Fixed head restraint comprises of the padded portion which
contacts your head and the seat back.
5.2.2 Adjustable Head Restraint(If applicable)
The head restraint comprises of the padded portion which contacts
your head . It is inserted/locked in receptacles on the top of the
seat back.
Your vehicle front & rear seats are equipped with head restraints

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 the front row and second row
outboard occupants.
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.

rest for rear seats.
Pull the strap and fold the middle seat backrest to the required
position
5.6 General Warnings and Instructions - 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.
• All occupants, including the driver, should always wear their seat
belt no matter how short the trip in order to minimize the risk of
severe injury in the event of a crash. In an accident, an un-belted
passenger becomes a projectile, and can cause serious injury to
himself or another passenger.
• In a rollover crash, an un-belted person is significantly more likely
prone to Injury than a person wearing a seat belt
• In order to be properly buckled, you must always sit up straight
and keep your feet on the floor in front of you. The lap part must
be worn low and tight across your hips, just touching the top of
your thighs. While fastening the seat belt, the shoulder strap of
the seat belt must pass over your chest and top of your
shoulder. It must never touch your neck, face, the side of your
shoulder, arm, or pass under your arm. The belt must always be
flat against your body and not twisted in any way. Nothing, such
as an arm rest, a pocketbook, or any external objects should be
between you and the seat belt.

dye, or abrasive cleaners. These chemicals will severely weaken
the belts
• Retractors in a 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 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 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.
5.7 Fastening the Seat Belt
5.7.1 3-Point type (if equipped)
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.
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.
5.7.2 2-Point Lap type (if equipped)
This seat belt is applicable in some seating positions in some
variants as applicable. Insert the metal tab into the buckle until it
snaps. Position the lap belt on the hips as low as possible.
5.7.3 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.

6 SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if
equipped)
6.1 Airbags
Your Vehicle has the following airbags ( Based on Variant type)
• A Frontal airbag for driver – located in steering wheel hub
• A Frontal airbag for front outboard passenger – located in
instrument panel on passenger side
They are indicated by “SRS AIRBAG” embossed on steering wheel /
Instrument panel respectively
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 Introduction
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) includes airbags, and
ECU. The airbags are designed to provide additonal protection to
the vehicle occupants over and above the primary protection
provided by the seat belts.
The primary components of the SRS are the sensors which
measure the deaccelration intensity. In the event of a frontal
impact,intensity being above the threshold 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.
Airbag is more effective in reducing injuries when the seat belts
are worn.
6.2.1 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 “SRS 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 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.
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. Theairbagsystem malfunctionlamp
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, inflators, interconnecting wiring and power sources.
If either of the following conditions occur, there is a malfunction of
the airbags. 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.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if equipped)
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.
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.
• Do not modify, remove, strike or open the airbag sensor or
surrounding area or wiring. Failure to followthese
instructions may prevent them from activating correctly,
cause sudden operation of the system or disable the system,
which could result in serious injury
6-3
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if equipped)
• 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.
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
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if equipped)
• If the back rest is inclined too much, then under severe
deaccelration the person can slide under the belt, and
negating the safety of the seat belt
• All vehicle occupants must be properly restrained using the
seat belts
• All infants and children must be placed in child restraint seat
as defined locations (Sec 5.8)
• Front airbags can injure occupants improperly positioned in
the front seats
• Evenwithairbags,improperlybeltedand 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
can 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
Never place a Child seat (Rear-facing or Front facing) restraint in
front passengers seat, if passenger airbag is present. Because, If
the airbag deploys 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.(Only where Front passenger airbag present)
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 child restraint system as suggested in Sec 5.8 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.(if applicable)
6.2.5 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’s
Front airbags are designed to inflate in a frontal collision depending
on the intensity, speed or angles of impact of the front collision.
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
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 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.
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.
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.
6.2.6 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.
6.2.7 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.
6.2.8 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.
6.2.9 Airbag Repair
If the front airbag cover or passenger 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.
6.2.10 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.

7.4 Engine Immobilizer System
The 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.
• 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.
In the event of the vehicle not starting with the correct key,
switch off the ignition and remove for a minimum of 1 minute
before attempting 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.
