6.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.
7.Examine tyres for excessive tread wear and uneven wear
patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged
in the tread and check sidewalls for any cuts, cracks, or other
signs of wear. Replace as necessary.
8.Always maintain the safety labels affixed to your vehicle in a
good legible condition.

the integrity of the vehicle and significantly reduce its lifespan.
The vehicle is also subject to wear over a period of time. Please
have your vehicle regularly inspected by an Authorised
Mahindra Dealer. If the inspection reveals any damage or
excessive wear, immediately replace or have the component
serviced.
11.We recommend that you use only genuine parts supplied by
Mahindra. The use of non-Mahindra parts will not be covered
by warranty.

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

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

When you are driving over long distances, follow these tips so that
you have a safe journey:
• Lack of sleep or fatigue will impact your ability to drive safely
• Exercise your eyes by shifting the focus of your eyes to different
parts of the road
• Use stimulating beverages such as coffee or tea
• Relax and stay calm
• Take breaks at regular intervals

(including cleaning and lubrication fluids) are important steps
towards this initiative.

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

GENERAL INFORMATION
1.14 Quick Guide (Interior - Luggage Compartment and Rear Seats)
• Make sure to carry out the daily inspections before starting off
your vehicle
• Check the tyre inflation and wear. Clean the windshield and rear
glasses, side mirrors, and room mirror
• Make sure that the engine hood and tailgate are properly closed
• Make sure that there are no obstacles in the danger area
around the vehicle
• Make sure that there is not any trace of leak around the vehicle
• Check the state of various lamps
For details, refer to chapter 8"Service and maintenance
Check the part that can be viewed with your own eyes, such as
fluid leaks on the battery or radiator.
2.1.2 Inside of Engine Compartment
• Check the engine oil and other fluid/oil levels in the engine
compartment
• Check the washer fluid level and add if necessary
If the level of various types of fluids goes down very fast, have
the vehicle checked and serviced at a Mahindra Dealer or
Mahindra Authorised Service Centre.
• Using wheel and tyre other than the specified sizes could cause
unusual handling characteristics and poor vehicle control,
resulting in a serious accident
• The use of tyre sizes other than the specified sizes may cause
abnormal operation of the steering wheel, increase fuel
consumption, increase braking distance, vibration, improper
operation of ABS/ESP, or uneven tyre wear. It may also damage
the powertrain of the vehicle
• Use only the same tyres from same tyre manufacturer for all the
wheels. Otherwise, the powertrain may be damaged
• Check the conditions and pressure of the spare tyre as needed
and always keep it available.
• Check the tyre inflation and wear everyday and replace if
necessary
• Be sure to keep the specified tyre inflation pressure
• Check and adjust the tyre inflation pressure, including the spare
wheel, before any long journey. When driving the vehicle with
insufficient tyre inflation pressure, the tyre could be blown out,
because of standing wave symptom, resulting in severe injury
and death
What is “Standing Wave”?
During driving, the rotating tyre repeats deformation and
restoring movement in its tread portion. However, when a tyre
with insufficient inflation pressure rolls on the road with high
speed, a wave-like deformation occurs in the radial direction
near and behind the tyre tread portion. This wavy deformation
is called “standing wave”. If this symptom lasts for an extended
period of time, the tyre could be blown out in a short period of
time.
Sit on the seat in correct position before driving off for safety.
1.Sit upright in the centre of the driver seat with the hip against
the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback
2.Adjust the driver seat position and height of the seat cushion
so that you can rest your foot on the brake pedal naturally
3.Adjust the seatback angle and steering position with the back
against the seatback so that you can put your hands on top of
the steering wheel comfortably
4.Adjust the height of the head restraint so that the centre of
the head restraint is aligned with the top of the ears
The travel range of the driver seat and steering wheel may vary
depending on the vehicle model.
2.1.5 Check the Vehicle Inside
• Adjust the driver’s seat, headrest and steering wheel for
comfortable driving
• Adjust the outside and inside rear view mirrors
Do not attempt to adjust the driver’s seat, headrest, rear view
mirrors, or steering wheel while driving. Adjustments should be
done before driving.
• Do not put anything under driver’s seat
• Do not leave empty bottles or cans near or under the
driver’s seat. If it hinders the brake or accelerator pedal
operation, it may cause an unexpected accident
• Only use a floor mat with the correct size for your vehicle.
And, make sure not to move the mat while driving. If it
hinders the brake or accelerator pedal operation, it may
cause an unexpected accident
• Do not wear the uncomfortable shoes such as high heal or
slippers when driving
• Check that all appropriate warning lights, indicators and gauges
(fuel, vehicle speed, engine rpm) are operating when turning the
ignition key to the “ON” position
• Check the operations of the accelerator pedal, and brake pedal
• Operate the EPB (Electric Parking Brake) switch and check if an
operating sound is heard and the parking brake is applied. If the
parking brake is not applied, have the vehicle checked and
serviced at a Mahindra Dealer or Mahindra Authorised Service
Centre
Release the parking brake and check that the Brake warning
light on the instrument cluster is turned off.
When releasing the parking brake, firmly press the brake pedal
so that the vehicle is completely stationary.
