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 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 the fuse puller to remove and refit the fuses.

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

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;

GENERAL

2.6.1 Jack/Wheel Spanner

The jack and tool bag is placed under the third row seat.

Remove the velcro placed around the Tool bag .

Jack is held in place by a wing type bolt. Remove the wing bolt and move the jack towards tail gate slightly to remove it from its position.

Wheel spanner, jack handle Tow hook and Tools are placed in the tool bag and fastened using Velcro.

2-13

GENERAL

2.6.2 Spare Wheel Removal

The spare wheel is mounted on the back door at the rear end of the vehicle. It is held in place by a securing nuts underneath the Mahindra badge.

• Wrap the tip of a screw driver with cloth, insert it at the bottom edge of the Mahindra badge on the spare wheel cover (if equipped) and pry the badge away from the Cover

• Loosen and remove the securing nut counter clockwise with a wheel spanner

• Hold the spare wheel cover with both hands and pull outwards to remove

• Loosen the remaining spare wheel nuts counter clockwise with a wheel spanner

• Slowly support and lower the spare wheel

A anti-theft lock system is provided for the spare wheel as shown. Any small lock can be used to disable the securing nut from being removed.

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.

2-14

Always loosen the wheel nuts before raising the vehicle. Turn the wheel nuts counter clockwise to loosen as per the crisscross sequence shown. 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.

GENERAL

2.7 Jack Points

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

wheels.

Rear jack up point - On either side of the rear axle.

2-15

GENERAL

2.7.1 Jacking

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

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

Flat Tyre

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, check that it is properly positioned. Raise it high enough so that the spare tire can be installed. Remember that you will need more ground clearance

B Chock Blocks

when putting the inflated spare tire than when removing the flat tire.

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

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

• Do not raise the jack with any person inside the vehicle

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

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

• The 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.

2-16

GENERAL

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

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

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

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

Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the diagonally opposite wheel nuts using the wheel nut spanner. Turn the jack handle extension anti 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 any other tools or any additional leverage other than your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot.

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

Improperly or loosely tightened wheel nuts are dangerous. The wheel can wobble or come off. This can result in loss of vehicle

GENERAL

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, retorque the wheel nuts after driving about 1,000 kms (Torque 120 Nm).

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

Check the air pressure of the replaced tyre. If the pressure is lower than recommended, drive slowly to the nearest service station and inflate to the correct pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is correct. Always 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.

Wheel balancing to be done after tyre puncture rework.

2.7.2 Restore the Tools, Jack and Flat Tyre Securely

Restore the tools and jack back to their respective locations. Mount the flat tyre to the back door bracket at the rear of the vehicle. Firmly tighten the securing nuts and put the wheel cover back. Double check to ensure the tyre is snug against the back door of the vehicle.

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.

5 SEATS AND SEAT BELTS

5.1 Driver seat

5.1.1 Sitting in the Correct Position

Follow the tips below for a comfortable and safe journey;

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

• 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.

6.1 Airbags

Your vehicle is equipped with the following airbags:

• A frontal airbag for the driver

• A frontal airbag for the front passenger.

Airbags are located in:

• The steering wheel hub

• The passenger side instrument panel

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

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

To 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 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 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(If equipped)

Your vehicle is equipped with a Airbag and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver and front passenger seating positions. The indications of the system's presence are the letters “AIR BAG”

6-1

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if equipped)

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. The airbag system malfunction lamp illuminates when the ignition is ON 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

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

6-4

• 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

• 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

6-5

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if equipped)

6.2.4 Child Restraint and Airbag

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

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

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

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

Never hold an infant or child on your lap. The infant or child could be seriously injured in the event of a crash. All infants and

children should be properly restrained in appropriate child safety seats or seat belts in the rear seat.

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.

6-6

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if equipped)

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 -

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.

Rear-end Collisions -

Frontal air bags 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 air bags would not be able to provide any additional benefit.

6-7

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if equipped)

• Frontal Impact -

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

• 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.

• Rollover -

Air bags will not inflate in rollover accidents where air bag deployment would not provide protection to the occupants.

•

Frontal Side Swipe Impact -

6-8

Frontal offset impact to the vehicle may not provide the deceleration force necessary for airbag deployment. In an angled

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if equipped)

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.

6.2.9 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.

6.2.10 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.
