sure that your vehicle is in optimum working order, and take note of the road and
weather conditions under which you are using your vehicle.
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

or to sections of this manual to which particular attention must be paid for
optimum use of the vehicle.
If you see this symbol, it indicates “no”, “do not,” “do not do this,” or “never”.
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 bulbs 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, personal music device or pager 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. A person with a pacemaker should never contact the engine control unit or its
cables to injectors, as this system carries high voltage which may adversely
affect the functioning of the pacemaker
7. 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
8. 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
9. 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
10. Always maintain the safety labels affixed to your vehicle in a good legible
condition
11. All signal lamps, buzzers, shields, guards and other protective safety devices
must always remain in place and in good, proper working condition
12. 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
13. We recommend that you use only genuine parts supplied by Mahindra. The
use of non-Mahindra parts will not be covered by warranty
14. The vehicle can be used only as a passenger vehicle. Any other use is
improper, and may result in voiding the warranty
15. 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
INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

16. 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
17. 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
18. 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
19. Do not wash the engine or engine compartment with pressurized water
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 Phone Warning
Use of electrical devices such as mobile phones, computers, portable radios or other
by the driver while driving is dangerous. Dialing a number on a mobile phone while
driving also ties up the driver's hands. Use of these services will cause the driver to
be distracted and may lead to a serious accident. If a passenger is unable to use the
device, pull off the road to a safe area before use. 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. Never use a mobile phone or other electrical devices while
the vehicle is moving.
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.
INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Mahindra vehicles conform 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.

Hazardous Material
Certain components of this vehicle such as seat belt pre-tensioner, airbag and

service or vehicle end-of-life disposal.
Running-in
Driving smoothly during the first 1000 km will help 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 1,000 km of running. This
should be considered as a normal part of break-in and not interpreted as any
problem with the engine.
Protection from Electronics
To ensure optimum vehicle performance and passenger safety, your Mahindra
vehicle is equipped with sophisticated modern electronics and controls. Do not install
any communication devices, electronic gadgets or radar detection devices, without
express written consent from Mahindra.
An improperly installed/adjusted two-way radio can adversely affect electronic
systems.

In the event that any parts need replacement, we recommend that you use only
Mahindra genuine parts.

not supply EMS ECU, vehicle keys and the immobilizer as a set for any vehicle.
Non-Mahindra parts may harm vehicle performance and will not be covered by your
Mahindra warranty.
To avoid counterfeit parts and to protect our brand image, Mahindra genuine parts
are packed in a branded carton. Look for the ‘Mahindra Genuine Parts’ logo.
Any unauthorized modifications or alterations to this vehicle or failure to use
appropriate specification and quality spare parts could seriously affect vehicle
road worthiness and safety leading to an accident, resulting in serious injury

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.
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. The fuse puller is available in the IP fuse box.
Be careful while removing the relay, do not shake or apply excessive force to
avoid damage to relay terminal.
