1.3 General Safety Information and Instructions
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions provided in this
manual could result in failure of the vehicle, an accident and/or
serious personal injury.
1. Carefully read, understand and follow the warnings and
instructions given in this manual. This manual is an essential
part of the product. Keep it in the vehicle glove box for future
reference
2. Spare bulb and first aid kit are placed in the glove box of the
vehicle. Ensure they are not taken out of the vehicle at any
point of time.
3. Please note that throughout this manual, reference is made
that “an accident” could occur. An accident could cause you or
a bystander to sustain severe personal injury, or result in
property damage
4. Never use a mobile phone or personal music device while
driving. This may take your focus off the road and lead to
accidents
5. Please be advised that many service and repair tasks require
specialized knowledge, tools and experience. General
mechanical aptitude may not be sufficient to properly service
or repair your vehicle. If you have any doubt whatsoever
regarding your ability to properly service or repair your vehicle,
please contact your Authorized Mahindra Dealer or a qualified
technician
6. Inspect the seat belt system periodically, checking for cuts,
frays or wear in the seat belt webbing, or loose buckles,
retractors, anchors or other loose parts. Damaged parts
must be replaced immediately
7. 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
8. Examine tires for excessive tread wear and uneven wear
patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects
lodged in the tread and check sidewalls for any cuts, cracks, or
other signs of wear. Replace as necessary
9. Always maintain the safety labels affixed to your vehicle in a
good legible condition
10. All signal lamps, buzzers, shields, guards and other protective
safety devices must always remain in place and in good,
proper working condition
11. The life span of Mahindra products depend on many factors.
Improper use, abuse or harsh use in general may compromise
the integrity of the vehicle and significantly reduce its life span.
The vehicle is also subject to wear over a period of time.
Please have your vehicle regularly inspected by an Authorized
Mahindra Dealer or a qualified mechanic. If the inspection
reveals any damage or excessive wear, immediately replace or
have the component serviced
INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

12. We recommend that you use only genuine parts supplied by
Mahindra. The use of non-Mahindra parts will not be covered
by warranty
13. Never crawl under or be in close proximity to the vehicle when
it is lifted off the ground (by a jack), unless the vehicle is
properly supported with jack stands, wheel chocks and other
appropriate safety devices
14. Never attempt any repairs or adjustments to any component
while the vehicle is in motion. Always switch off the engine, and
wait for the engine to come to a complete stop before
performing any repairs or adjustments
15. The vehicle identification plates are the only legal identification
reference, hence it is necessary to keep them in good
condition. Never modify data on the plates or remove them.
The customer is responsible for any possible tampering with
the plates, which will immediately void the warranty
16. Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers, or other
unsafe driving actions that can cause loss of vehicle control.
When the vehicle is fully loaded, drive at a slow speed,
especially when turning. Note that the center of gravity of the
vehicle increases as the vehicle is fully loaded on the roof
carrier
1.4 To Owner’s of a Mahindra Vehicle
When first driving the vehicle after long periods of non-use, you may
experience a temporary drive disturbance. This is a characteristic
of the tires and should be no reason for concern. The condition
should correct itself within 5-15 kms. of driving. If the disturbance
persists, have the tires checked by an Authorized Mahindra Dealer.
Driving and Alcohol
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired by alcohol even if the
blood alcohol level is far below the legal minimum. Drunken driving
is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.
Never drink and drive. Drinking and driving will lead to an
accident resulting in serious personal injury.
Driving and Drugs/Medication
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired through the use of
prescription or non-prescription drugs or medication (even cough
syrup). If you are taking any sort of drug or medication, be sure that
it will not affect your driving ability.
Mobile Phones Warning
Use of electrical devices such as mobile phones, computers,
portable radios or other by the driver while driving is dangerous. If
use of a mobile phone is necessary despite this warning, use a

hands free system to at least leave the hands free to drive the
vehicle.
Please comply with the legal regulations concerning the use of
communication equipment in vehicles in your country.
Driving Long Distances
When you are driving over long distances, follow these tips so that
you have a safe journey;
• Lack of sleep or fatigue may impact your ability to drive safely.
• Exercise your eyes by shifting the focus of your eyes to different
parts of the road.
• Use stimulating beverages such as coffee or tea.
• Relax and stay calm.
Protecting Our Environment
Every one of us should play our part in protecting our environment.
Judicious vehicle usage and disposing hazardous waste (including
cleaning and lubrication fluids) are important steps towards this
initiative.
Mahindra vehicles confirm to existing emission norms (standards).
Adhering to the periodical maintenance schedule and using
Mahindra genuine parts will help retain emission performance of
the vehicle and is a pre-requisite to emissions warranty coverage.
Servicing
If you have any questions concerning the proper use or
maintenance of your vehicle, please call your Authorized Mahindra
Dealer. A list of dealers can be found in the Dealer Directory
Supplement or on the Internet.
Alternatively you can contact Mahindra on 1800-209-6006 /
[email protected].
Running-in
Driving smoothly during first 1000 kms. will help to prevent
premature failures and abnormal system wear improving the life of
drivetrain and vehicle components.
A new engine may consume more oil during the first 1000 kms. of
running. This should be considered as a normal part of break-in and
not interpreted as any problem with the engine.
Mahindra Genuine Parts
Mahindra uses high quality parts for building vehicles.
In the event that any parts need replacement, we recommend that
you use only Mahindra genuine parts.
Non-Mahindra parts may harm vehicle performance and will not be
covered by your Mahindra warranty.
