provide short circuit protection to alternator, power supply to main
engine compartment fuse box & electric cooling fan.
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.

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.
2-12
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;
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

GENERAL
• Locate the flap covering the securing nut below the rear luggage
compartment floor carpet
• Loosen the securing nut counter clockwise with a wheel spanner
to winch down/lower the secured spare wheel to the ground
• Tilt the securing bracket and remove it out of the spare wheel
hub
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.
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
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.
Flat Tyre

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
BChock Blocks
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
W12B24
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.
GENERAL
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.
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.
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).

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.
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.
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 top face of the cross member under the
hood of the vehicle. The engine number is also stamped on the
same plate.
2.10 Engine Number
The engine number is punched on the LHS face of the crankcase
adjacent to the water pump. The engine number is also stamped on
the VIN plate near the bonnet release lever.

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

5.8 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.
will reduce the protection in an
• 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 seatbelt to secure children refer to section on
manual for child seat positions and use a child restraint systems
• Passengers should not move out of or change seats while the
vehicle is moving. A passenger who is not wearing a seat belt
can be thrown against the inside of the vehicle, against other
occupants, or out of the vehicle during a crash or emergency
stop
• Do not use any accessories on seat belts or modify in any way
the seat belt system. Devices claiming to improve occupant
comfort or reposition the seat belt can reduce the protection
provided by the seat belt and increase the chance of serious
injury in a crash
• An accident or emergency stop, can damage your seat belt
system, even if the accident is “minor”. Please have your
Authorized Mahindra Dealer inspect the seat belt system after
an accident
• Please be aware that any unsecured item in your vehicle, such
as your pet, unsecured child restraint system, 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
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.
• 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.
5.9 Child Restraint System (CRS)
Always secure a child in a proper Child Restraints System in
accordance with age and size of the child as recommended by the
child restraint system manufacturer. Be sure to follow the Child
Restraint System (Child seat) manufacturer’s instructions for seat
belt routing.
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.
Legend:
U — Suitable position for using universal child restraint system
using seat belt and buckles marked with ‘ C R S ’.
Ø — Not Suitable position for using child restraint system using seat
belt.
6 SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if
equipped)
6.1 Airbags
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 Introduction
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) includes airbags, pretensioners 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 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.
6.2.1 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.
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 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 pretensioner 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.
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
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if equipped)
• 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
• Evenwithairbags,improperlybelted andun-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
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.
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.
6.2.5 Airbag Deployment
The images shown in this section are for illustrative purpose
only. They may not look like your model/variant or vehicle.
Front Air bag’s
Front air bags 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 -
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if equipped)
Air bags 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. Air bags may not inflate in this
“under-ride” situation where deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be significantly reduced by such
“under-ride” collisions.
Air bags may not inflate in rollover accidents where air bag
deployment would not provide protection to the occupants.
However, side impact and curtain air bags may inflate when the
vehicle is rolled over by a side impact collision.
•
Frontal Side Swipe Impact -
Frontal offset impact to the vehicle may not provide the
deceleration force necessary for airbag deployment. In an angled
collision, the force of impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would not be able to provide any
additional benefit, and thus the sensors may not deploy any air
bags.
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.
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.
6.2.10 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.

If there is reduction in RKE range, please follow the steps below:
• Check the distance: The RKE may be too far from the vehicle.
Stand closer to the vehicle during rain or bad weather
• Check the location: Other vehicles or objects may be blocking
the signals. Take a few steps to the left or right, hold the RKE
higher, and try again. Moreover, closeness to a radio
transmitter such as radio station tower, airport transmitter,
mobile or CB radios may lead to reduction in range of RKE
• Check the RKE battery: See battery replacement procedure,
given later in this section
• If the RKE is still not working correctly, contact an Authorized
Mahindra Dealer
While prying the RKE case, take care not to damage the
battery.
7.4.10 RKE Battery Replacement
If the RKE operation is inconsistent when any of the buttons are
pressed it indicates that the RKE battery is weak.
The rear side of the RKE is screw fitted. Using a small screw driver,
unscrew and separate the two halves of the casing. The battery
type is button type
7-10
“CR1632 3V cell”.
Do not touch the battery terminals that are on the back
housing or the printed circuit board.
Pull out the battery and discard the same. Insert new battery of
same type. While fitting the new battery, ensure the positive
side of the batteries face up (for button type). Align both the
halves of the RKE and screw to tight fit. Check operation of the

If you have lost the programmed RKE, contact an Authorized
Mahindra Dealer for procuring a new RKE.
While programming a new key set, you will have to submit all the
keys available with you to an Authorized Mahindra Dealer.
There is a limitation (max 2 keys at a time) to the number of
keys that can be programmed. The minimum time frame
required to supply the duplicate keys is 20 days after all the
formalities are completed. Please contact the dealer to
understand the formalities involved.
If the key is stolen or lost, communicate to an Authorized
Mahindra Dealer to de-activate the function of the lost or stolen
key. This is essential to avoid unauthorized access using the
misplaced key.
Only RKE transmitters programmed to your vehicle electronics
can be used for remote locking and unlocking of your vehicle.
7.4.12 Precautions while Handling RKE:
• 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
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.
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.
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 attrmpting 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.
The quadruple switch controls the window winding functions of all
the doors of the vehicle. It also houses a child safety switch that
enables/disables the power window operation of both the rear
doors when operated independently from the respective door.
Power windows can be operated only when the ignition is “IGN”
position. The quadruple power window switch is located on the
driver door trim / floor console depending on the variant.

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 de-activated 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
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.
Do not allow children to operate the quarter window. Pinching
fingers is inevitable if not operated properly. Make sure it is
operated only by adults.
Integrated exterior rear view mirrors on both the sides facilitate
maximum rear view information to the driver.
Both the ORVM’s are hinged and can be manually folded or
unfolded. This avoids hindrances in narrow areas and parking slots.
Make sure that you fully engage the mirror in its support, while
folding or unfolding.
Do not overestimate the distance of the objects that you see in
the mirrors. Objects seen in convex mirrors are much closer
than they appear.
8.4 Tip-Tap ORVM Adjustment
Tip Tap ORVM’s can be adjusted by hand in the direction as
indicated by the arrows. Adjust the mirror as required to bring the
rear traffic vision as desired.
Manual ORVM’s can be adjusted by the joystick provided on the
ORVM trim. Adjust the joy stick as required to bring the rear traffic
vision as desired.
8.6 Electric ORVM Adjustment
The electric exterior mirror adjustment switch is located on the
instrument panel on the RHS of the driver adjacent to the head
lamp levelling switch. The joystick on the switch can be used to
select the left/right mirror and also to adjust the respective mirror.
8.7 Interior Mirror
The interior mirror has day and night (anti-glare) positions. The
night position reduces glare from head lamps of vehicles behind
you. Flip the tab on the bottom edge of the mirror to select the day
or night position.
The lighting control stalk is located on the right hand side of the
steering wheel. It controls operations of parking lamps, head lamps,
head lamp beam selection, high beam flashing, fog lamps (if
equipped) and turn signals when the ignition switch is ON.
8.9 Turn Signals
Taking a Right Turn
• Push the lighting control stalk clockwise (to stop position B) to
indicate a right turn. The instrument cluster arrow lamp pointing
towards the right flashes along with the right side turn signal
lamps with chime indicating your intention of turning towards the
right
• After you have completed your right turn, the stalk will
automatically return to the neutral position. Both the right turn
lamp and the right turn signal lamp switch off

• After you have completed your left turn, the stalk will
automatically return to the neutral position. Both the left arrow
lamp and the left turn signal lamp switch OFF
You can signal a lane change by moving the lighting control stalk
clockwise or anti-clockwise to the limit point of free movement of
the lever and releasing it once you change the lane.
If the turn signal lamps on the instrument panel flash faster
than normal, there may be a possibility that one or more of the
turn signal lamp bulbs have blown. Replace the blown bulb
immediately.
8.10 Lamps Off
Rotate the outer rotary switch on the lighting control stalk aligning
the ‘arrow’ on the switch to ‘O’ on the stalk to switch OFF all lamps.
8.11 Parking Lamps On
Rotate the outer rotary switch on the lighting control stalk aligning
the ‘arrow’ on the switch to the ‘1st détente’ position on the stalk to

With the head lamp high beam ON, pull the lighting control stalk up
towards the steering wheel to switch ON the head lamp low beam.
Your vehicle head lamps are vented and moisture may be
collected on the inside of the head lamp lens under certain
climatic and geographical conditions. This moisture will
evaporate once the head lamps have been switched ON for a
few minutes.
