22..88 FFuusseess && RReellaayyss

A fuse is the most common electric protection device. A fuse isplaced in an electrical circuit, so that when current flow exceedsthe rating of the fuse, it blows off.

The element in the fuse melts, opening the circuit and preventingother components of the circuit from being damaged by the overcurrent. 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 touchingor attempting to change a fuse.

The replacement fuse rating should be the same as the one youare replacing.

You can identify a blown fuse by a break in the filament. Allfuses except high current fuses are push fit. A fuse pullershould be used to remove the fuse from its position.

In case of a flat tyre during driving, reduce your speed gradually,keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe placewell away from traffic. Park on a level spot with firm ground. Stopthe engine and turn ON your hazard warning flashers.

Firmly apply the parking brake. Have everyone come out of thevehicle on the side away from traffic.

Never stop your vehicle in a traffic lane to change a tyre. Risk ofbeing hit by an oncoming vehicle. Keep driving until you reach asafe location.

Lifting a vehicle to change a tyre or perform maintenance is verydangerous if you do not have the requisite tools, safety equipmentand training.

The jack provided along with the vehicle is to be used only forchanging a spare tyre. It is never to be used to perform any othermaintenance or repair on the vehicle.

Never place any part of your body under any portion of thevehicle when it is supported only by the jack. You could becrushed by the vehicle if it falls off a jack. Keep bystanders awayfrom the vehicle.

Find level, solid ground that is clear of oncoming traffic. If youcannot find a safe place to stop, it is better to drive on a flat tyreand damage the rim than it is to risk being hit by oncoming traffic.

After changing a flat tyre, never store the tyre or other equipmentin the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

This loose equipment could strike an occupant in the event of asudden stop or collision. Store all of these items in the proper place.

Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the diagonally oppositewheel bolts using the wheel nut spanner. Turn the jack handleextension counter clockwise using the jack handle to lower thevehicle, making sure the handle remains firmly fitted onto the jackhandle extension. Make sure the wheel spanner is securelyengaged over the bolt. Tighten each bolt a little at a time in thediagonally opposite order as shown. Repeat the process until all thebolts are tight. Do not use other tools or any additional leverageother than your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot.

Improperly or loosely tightened wheel bolts are dangerous. Thewheel could wobble or come off. This could result in loss ofvehicle control and cause a serious accident. Always make sureall the wheel bolts are properly/securely tightened to thespecified torque.

When lowering the vehicle, make sure all portions of your bodyare clear off the vehicle as it is lowered to the ground. Have thewheel bolts tightened with the torque spanner to 120 Nm, assoon as possible after changing wheels.

If you have rotated, repaired, changed your tyres or changedthe wheel rims, check the wheel bolts are still tight after drivingabout 1,000 km (Torque 120 Nm).

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

Check the air pressure of the replaced tyre. If the pressure is lowerthan recommended, drive slowly to the nearest service station andinflate to the correct pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it iscorrect. Always reinstal the valve cap after checking or adjustingtyre pressure. If the cap is not replaced, dirt and moisture could getinto the valve core and cause air leakage. If you lose a valve cap, buyanother and instal it as soon as possible.

• Removed or improperly adjusted head restraints can resultin serious head and neck injuries in case of a collision. Makesure that the head restraints are in place and adjustedbefore driving

• Do not recline the seat back more than needed for comfortwhile vehicle is in motion. The seat belt is the most effectivewhen the passenger sits back and straight up in the seat. Ifthe seat back is reclined too much, then the risks of slidingunder the lap belt and getting injured are increased

• Do not leave children unattended in parked vehicles. This cancause unexpected accident

• You can be hurt by the edges of the mechanism of the seatwhen trying to get the small objects (cigarette lighters, coins,credit cards) under the seat or caught between the seat andthe centre console. Wear protective gloves to prevent injury

• Never try to adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving

• Unexpected movement of the seat or seat back can causeloss of control

• Take care not to bother the passenger behind you whenadjusting the seat position

• Sit upright in the centre of the seat and wear the seat beltaround your hip and pelvic bones

• Do not place any objects in the path of seat back movement.Any obstruction in this path prevents the seat back from

being locked, causing severe injuries or death during acollision

• Always raise the seat back to the proper upright positionbefore driving

• Never drive the vehicle with the seat folded. In a collision, youwill be seriously killed or injured as you lose the protectionthe seat belt can provide

• To avoid unexpected accidents including severe injuries anddeath, sit in the position so that the distance between thesteering wheel and your chest is at least 10 inches, as longas you are comfortable with driving

• Do not place a cigarette lighter on the floor or between theseats. The gas in the lighter container under the seat ispotentially flammable when it is released from the containerwhen the seat is moved

• Additional cushion between you and the seat cushionreduces the frictional force and could make you slide underthe seat belt. This could result in serious injury or death

• Do not insert your hands under the seat or in the path of theseat movement when adjusting the seat. Your hands orfingers could get trapped between the seat and the frame

• Do not ride with the seat back reclined too much. You couldslide under the seat belt in a collision, which could result insevere injury or death. Also, you cannot be protected by theseat belt and the belt can strangle you or even cut into your

stomach. Therefore, sit up straight in your seat by keepingyour seat back upright while driving

• When returning the seat back to the upright position, holdthe seat back with your one hand and pull the release leverwith the other hand. The more the seat back is reclined, thegreater the restoring force of the seat back is. If you do nothold the seat back while adjusting the seat back, you couldbe injured by the restoring force

At least once each month, inspect the seat belt webbing for anycuts, tears, or other signs of wear (such as fraying along theedges). Also inspect the anchors, retractors, and buckles to besure they are tight and operational.

• All occupants, including the driver, should always wear their seatbelt no matter how short the trip in order to minimise the risk ofsevere injury in the event of a crash. In an accident, an un-beltedpassenger becomes a projectile, and can cause serious injury tohimself or another passenger

• In a rollover crash, an un-belted person is significantly more likelyprone to injury than a person wearing a seat belt

• In order to be properly buckled, you must always sit up straightand 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 ofyour thighs. While fastening the seat belt, the shoulder strap ofthe seat belt must pass over your chest and top of yourshoulder. It must never touch your neck, face, the side of yourshoulder, arm, or pass under your arm. The belt must always beflat against your body and not twisted in any way. Nothing, suchas an armrest, a pocketbook, or any external objects should bebetween you and the seat belt. Improper wearing of a seat beltwill reduce the protection in an accident

• Seat belts should be adjusted as tightly as possible, consistentwith comfort to properly secure the wearer in the seat

• The seat belts provided for your vehicle are designed for peopleof adult size, must be properly used and maintained

• For usage of adult seat belt to secure children, refer to sectionon manual for child seat positions and use a child restraintsystem

• Passengers should not move out of or change seats while thevehicle is moving. A passenger who is not wearing a seat beltcan be thrown against the inside of the vehicle, against otheroccupants, or out of the vehicle during a crash or emergencystop

• Do not use any accessories on seat belts or modify in any waythe seat belt system. Devices claiming to improve occupantcomfort or reposition the seat belt can reduce the protectionprovided by the seat belt and increase the chance of seriousinjury in a crash

• An accident or emergency stop, can damage your seat beltsystem, even if the accident is “minor”. Please have yourAuthorised Mahindra Dealer inspect the seat belt system afteran accident

• Please be aware that any unsecured item in your vehicle, suchas your pet, unsecured child restraint system, a laptop or mobile

phones, can become a projectile in the event of an accident orsudden stop, causing injuries to occupants in the vehicle

Never use a damaged seat belt system. A damaged seat beltwill not provide protection in an accident, resulting in seriousinjury.

• Seat belt systems can be prone to abuse. They are notindestructible. They must be handled with care to avoid damage

• Keep the belts clean and dry. Belt retraction may becomedifficult 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 weakenthe belts

• Retractors in 3-point type seat belts retract the seat belts whennot in use. The inertia lock and coil spring allow the belts toremain comfortable on users during normal driving. Duringaccidents or abrupt stops, inertia locks restrict the suddenforward movement of the wearer

Pregnant women must also wear seat belts. Consult your doctorfor specific recommendations.

The lap belt should be worn snugly and as low as possible over thehips. The shoulder belt should be worn across your shoulder, butnever across the stomach area. When worn properly, the seat beltwill protect both the mother and the foetus in an accident oremergency stop.

A pregnant woman should never wear the seat belt across thestomach area. This could lead to serious injuries to the foetusand/or the pregnant mother.

Never wear twisted seat belts. Excessive forces will betransferred from the belt to the wearer, in a collision, resultingin serious personal injury.

Each seat belt is meant for use by one person only. Using oneseat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. Theseat belt will not be able to spread the impact forces properlyleading to serious injuries.

Never put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant'slap. This could lead to serious injuries.

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) includes airbags, pre-tensioners and ECU. The airbags are designed to provide furtherprotection to the vehicle occupants in addition to the primaryprotection provided by the seat belts and seat belt pre-tensioners.

The primary components of the system are the sensors whichmeasure the crash severity. In the event of a significant frontalimpact, the SRS airbags inflate to work in conjunction with the seatbelts and help reduce injuries mainly to the driver's and frontpassenger's head/chest.

Seat belts are the primary restraint system in the vehicle. Anairbag provides supplemental protection in addition to the seatbelts.

All occupants, including the driver, should always wear theirseat belts to minimise the risk of severe injury in the event of acrash.

Airbags are more effective in reducing injuries when the seatbelts are worn.

Your vehicle is equipped with side impact airbag in both the frontseats. The purpose of the airbag is to provide the vehicle's driverand/or the front passenger with additional protection during sideimpacts or collisions.

The side impact airbag are designed to deploy only during certainside-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speedand point of impact.

• In the case of a side collision, the curtain airbag may bedeployed together with the relevant side airbag on the sidethe collision occurs

• The side impact airbag is supplementary to the seat beltsystems and is not a substitute for them. Therefore, yourseat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is inmotion. The airbags deploy only in certain side impactconditions severe enough to cause significant injury to thevehicle occupants

• For best protection from the side impact airbag system andto avoid being injured by the deploying side impact airbag, allseat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seatbelt properly fastened. The driver's hands should be placedon the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00 positions. Thepassengers arms and hands should be placed on their laps

• Do not use any accessory seat covers. Use of seat coverscould reduce or prevent the effectiveness of the system

• Do not instal any accessories on the side or near the sideimpact airbag

• Do not place any objects over the airbag or between theairbag and yourself

66..66 AAiirrbbaagg IInnffllaattiioonn//DDeeppllooyymmeenntt

The airbag sensors constantly monitor the forward deceleration ofthe vehicle. If an impact results in a forward deceleration beyondthe designed threshold level, the system triggers the airbaginflators. This initiates a chemical reaction which quickly fills theairbags with non-toxic gas.

Upon deployment, tear seams moulded directly into the pad coversseparate under pressure from the expansion of the airbags.Further opening of the covers allows full inflation of the airbags. Afully inflated airbag, in combination with a properly worn seat belt,slows the driver's or the passenger's forward motion, reducing therisk of head and chest injury.

After complete inflation, the airbag immediately starts deflating,enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility and the ability tomanoeuvre 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 alongwith a non-toxic gas. This does not indicate a fire. This smoke mayremain inside the vehicle for some time, and may cause someminor irritation to the eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure to wash offany residue with soap and water as soon as possible to prevent anypotential skin irritation. If you can safely exit the vehicle, you shoulddo so immediately.

Airbag deployment may cause windshield to break.

• Do not modify, remove, strike or open the seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies, airbag sensor or surrounding area orwiring. Failure to follow these instructions may prevent themfrom activating correctly, cause sudden operation of thesystem or disable the system, which could result in seriousinjury

• Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag coverand inflator) may be hot for several minutes afterdeployment. The airbags inflate only once

• Do not cover the steering wheel, instrument panel with anyobject (e. g. dash panel covers) which may prevent theairbags from inflating properly

• The airbags inflate with considerable force. While thesystem is designed to reduce serious injuries, primarily tothe head and chest, it may also cause other, less severeinjuries to the face, chest, arms and hands. These areusually in the nature of minor burns or abrasions andswelling, but the force of a deploying airbag can also causemore serious injuries, especially if an occupant's hands,arms, chest or head is in close proximity to the airbagmodule at the time of deployment. Sit straight and well backinto the seat. Move your seat as far back as practical toallow room for airbag inflation, while still allowing you toproperly 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 ofthe body on the dashboard when the vehicle is moving.

The driver or front passenger who is too close to the steeringwheel or dashboard can be seriously injured during airbagdeployment.

• The driver must sit as far back as possible from the steeringwheel while still maintaining control of the vehicle

• The front passenger must sit as far back as possible fromthe dashboard

Let’s take a simple example of driving in traffic conditions withinyour city. Assume that your vehicle has stopped at a traffic junctiondue to a red signal. The following steps illustrate how the systemfunctions:

• The vehicle has come to a halt at a traffic signal, is in the neutralgear and the clutch pedal is released

• The ‘ESS’ lamp in the cluster will blink indicating that the engineis going to stop shortly. The engine will shut down automaticallyafter a specific time period

• The ‘ESS’ lamp will illuminate in the instrument cluster indicatingthe engine was stopped by the ESS system

• Once the signal turns green, press the clutch pedal and theengine starts immediately

• The indicator in the cluster goes OFF indicating that the enginehas started again and you are ready to drive on

The ESS system aids in attaining better fuel efficiency of yourvehicle and thus reducing your running costs. However, themileage improvement will depend upon various parameterssuch as prevailing traffic, driving patterns, etc.

2. What are the other advantages of this system?

• Since the engine is switched off during traffic signals/jams,considerable amount of carbon dioxide release to theatmosphere is avoided. This reduces global warming andthus provides us with a sustainable planet to live in

• Ability to restart the engine by pressing the clutch pedal

• Reduces noise pollution at traffic signals

3. Is it possible to start the engine through the clutch pedal forthe first time?

No, the engine can be cranked only with the ignition key for thefirst time. If the engine is stopped automatically by the system,only then it is possible to start the engine through the clutch.

4. Whether the system will get activated as soon as the engine isstarted the first time with the ignition key?

The system will get activated only after the completion ofengine temperature dependent warm up period which mayextend up to 15 minutes. This is to ensure better performanceof the engine in terms of fuel economy and durability.

5. Are there any safety precautions to be followed?

Yes, when the engine is turned OFF at traffic signals/jams withheavy electrical loads like head lamp or AC switched ‘ON’. If theduration of such stops are long, it is recommended to keep theengine ‘ON’ and the ESS system in ‘OFF’ position.

6. What is to be done, if I don’t want the system to stop myengine at traffic signals/jams?

The system can be turned OFF by switching OFF the Stop/Start selection switch.

7. Whether the AC will function, if the engine is switched off?

No, the AC will not work. However, the blower will be inoperation when the ignition is ON.

8. What will happen if I keep the clutch continuously pressed attraffic signals/jams?

The system will not stop the engine if the clutch is continuouslypressed since it indicates the driver’s intention of moving thevehicle immediately.

9. When the battery charge is low, whether the engine will beswitched off?

If the battery charge drops below a certain level, the systemwill not stop the engine so as to preserve the battery fromfurther draining.

10. Whether I will be able to operate the engine with the normalignition key?

Yes, normal operation with the ignition key is always possible.

11. Whether the vehicle will start (or) stop in gear?

The vehicle will not start or stop automatically in gear toensure safety. It will do so only in the neutral position of thegear shift lever.

12. Whether the system will stop my engine in moving traffic?

No, the engine will be stopped only when the vehicle speed iszero continuously for more than 2 seconds.

13. Whether the audio system will be switched OFF, when theengine shuts down?

No, the audio system will not be switched OFF and you cancontinue to enjoy the music.

14. Whether the engine will re-crank whenever the clutch pedal ispressed?

No, when the engine is running, the starter motor will notattempt to re-crank.

15. If any component involved in the system fails, what will happen?

The system has a built-in diagnostic module which understandsthe failure and immediately goes to bypass mode, In the bypassmode the engine can be turned ON and OFF with ignition keyas usual.

16. Are there any indications to show that engine does not stopdue to poor battery charge state?

Yes, if all other conditions except battery charge are met, theESS lamp blinks faster for 7.5 seconds and the engine doesnot switch OFF.

• System may give false signal while the vehicle moves from plainground to a slope terrain and vice versa

• System may give false signal by sensing the ground when thebumper is tilted more from the normal position or when thevehicle is heavily overloaded

• System may give false signal an alarm during heavy rain, snowand heavy wind conditions

• The shape of the obstacle may prevent a sensor from detectingit. Some obstacles for example as follows:

– Sharply-angled objects

– Tall or curved curb

– Low obstacles (with height of 40 cm above ground level)

– Tall obstacles with upper sections projecting outwards in thedirection of the vehicle

• Depending upon the shape of the obstacle and otherenvironmental factors, the detection distance may shorten ordetection may be impossible

• Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to thesensor

• Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detectedwhen approached, even if they have been detected once

• Because of other ultrasonic sources, sensor may give falsealarm for e. g., sweeping machines, high pressure steamcleaners and neon lights

• Due to vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air brakes of largevehicles, or other loud noises producing ultrasonic waves, thevicinity of the vehicle is noisy. It may cause sensor to give falsealarm

Your vehicle is equipped with an Electric power steering system(EPS). There is no fluid reservoir to check or fill. EPS uses energyfrom the battery to decrease the driver's effort in steering thevehicle. The EPS system will give you good vehicle response andincreased ease of manoeuvrability in tight spaces. If for somereason the power assist is interrupted, it will provide mechanicalsteering capability to steer the vehicle. Under these conditions, youwill observe a substantial increase in steering effort.

When driving in rough/off roads, hold the steering wheel rim,do not hold the wheel spokes. A sudden bump can jerk/turnthe wheel and injure your hand. This may also lead to loss ofvehicle control.

The EPS warning light should only be illuminated with theignition ON before starting the engine.

If the warning light remains illuminated after the engine hasbeen started, there will be no assistance from power steering.The vehicle may be driven using the mechanical steeringsystem although it is not recommended as the effort to turnthe steering wheel will be significantly high. In this case, contactan Authorised Mahindra Dealer immediately.

Keep both hands on the steering wheel, with the thumbsresting on the outer wheel rim.

To help prevent damage to the power steering motor:

• Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme right or theextreme left for more than a few secs. when the engine isrunning

If the Electric power steering system breaks down (or if theengine is turned OFF), you can still steer the vehicle manually,but it takes more effort.

Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes in the front and rearwheels.

Disc brakes offer good braking capability and reduced stoppingdistance. Wet brake discs result in reduced braking efficiency. Aftera car wash or driving the vehicle through water, pump the brakepedal mildly while driving to remove the film of water from the brakepads.

Brake pads feature wear indicator. When the front brake pad isworn out, there will be an indication in the cluster; the brakewarning lamp will be ON. Replace the brake pads immediately.

Driving with wet brakes is dangerous. Stopping distanceincreases considerably when braking.

Dry the brakes by driving at very slow speed and applying thebrakes lightly until the brake performance becomes normal.

Even if the power assist (vacuum assistance) is completely lost,the brakes will still work. The brake pedal would be muchharder than normal and the vehicle stopping / braking distancewill be longer than usual.

To apply the parking brake, hold and pull the park brake lever up as firmlyas possible. When the parking brake is applied with the ignition ON, thebrake warning lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates. To release theparking brake, pull the parking brake lever up slightly, press the releasebutton on the bottom of the lever and lower the parking brake levercompletely.

The brake warning lamp indicates only the parking brake status. Itdoes not indicate the degree of brake application. Be sure the

parking brake is firmly set when parked and the gear shift lever is ingear. When parking on a hill; first apply the parking brake; after thatshift the gear lever to 1st gear. This will avoid the load on thetransmission, locking mechanism may make it difficult to move theshift lever out of gear.

Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving off.Failure to do so can lead to brake problems due to excessiveheating of the rear brakes. It will also result in reduced fuelefficiency; lowered brake pad life and rear brake squeal.

• The parking brake should be adjusted as per recommendedmaintenance schedule

• Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle, andbe certain to leave the transmission in gear. Failure to do somay allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage, hit abystander resulting in personal injury

• Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for anumber of reasons. Children should be warned not to touchthe parking brake or the gear shift lever. Do not leave the keyin the ignition. A child could move the vehicle leading toaccidents

• The parking brake should always be applied when the driveris not in the vehicle

The Anti-lock Brake System (also called as ABS) is designed to helpprevent lock-up of the wheels and stable stopping of vehicle during asudden, panic emergency braking or braking on slippery roadsurfaces. The ABS system takes input from wheel speed sensorsand brake pedal switch to control the brake fluid pressures at thewheels to avoid wheel lock-up. It allows vehicle to be steered duringbraking.

The minimum speed for ABS to function is 12 kmph. ABS isactivated only during wheel lock conditions where ABS takes overand prevents wheel lock.

During the ABS operation, a slight pulsation may be felt in the brakepedal to indicate ABS is active. You may also hear motor noise fromthe engine compartment. It is recommended to hold the brakepedal firmly while the ABS is active rather than pumping the brakepedal.

Depressing the brake pedal on slippery road surfaces as on amanhole cover, a steel plate at a construction site, a joint in abridge, etc. on a rainy day, tends to activate the anti-lock brakesystem.

The ABS warning lamp lights up when you switch ONthe ignition and should go out after a few secs. If theABS warning lamp does not go out or if it comes ON

while driving, it means there is a fault in the ABS system. In bothcases, the normal braking system remains efficient, exactly as on avehicle without ABS. The vehicle should be examined as soon aspossible by an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.

The ABS is not designed to shorten the stopping distance: Alwaysdrive at a moderate speed and maintain a safe distance from thevehicle in front of you. The stopping distance may be longer in thefollowing cases:

• Driving on rough, gravel or snow-covered roads

• Driving with tyre chains installed

• Driving over the steps such as the joints on the road

• Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or differencesin surface height

Do not overestimate the Anti-lock Brake System: Although the Anti-lock Brake System assists in providing vehicle control, it is still

important to drive with all due care and maintain a moderate speedand safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. There are limitsto the vehicle stability and effectiveness of steering wheel operationeven with ABS active.

If tyre grip performance exceeds its capability, or if hydroplaningoccurs during high speed driving in the rain, the Anti-lock BrakeSystem will not assist with vehicle control.

EBD, as a subsystem of the ABS system, controls the effectiveadhesion utilisation of the rear wheels. EBD aids in distributing thebrake forces more evenly leading to better vehicle stability duringbraking.

Typically, the front end carries more weight and EBD distributesless braking pressure to the rear brakes avoiding a lock up/skid.

For example, under light loads EBD applies less effort to the rearbrakes and for heavy loads it allows full braking effort to the rearwheels.

A fault with EBD is indicated by illumination of the brake as well asABS warning lamps. The vehicle should be examined as soon aspossible by an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.

HVAC system provided in the vehicle enables occupants toautomatically/manually adjust air flow distribution pattern, air flowrate, air intake mode and air temperature inside passengercompartment. By appropriately adjusting the control knobs/switches provided on the HVAC control panel, located on centreconsole, occupant’s comfort can be ensured. HVAC system alsohelps in defrosting and defogging / de-misting the windshield andwindows.

Air flow direction can be further controlled by adjusting louvres ofair vents. An air filter is provided at the inlet of HVAC blower.

Engine coolant is utilised to heat the cabin air. For cooling the cabinair, an air-condititioning circuit based on the vapour compressionrefrigeration cycle is used. The air-condititioning system uses arefrigerant along with a suitable lubricating oil. Although being non-ozone depleting, the refrigerant is a greenhouse gas, hence onceallowed to escape in the atmosphere, it adversely affects theenvironment by contributing to global warming/climate change.

Refrigerant used in system is a hazardous liquefied gas and isunder high pressure. The refrigerant is colourless and hasethereal or faint sweetish odour. Exposure of refrigerant to skin

or eyes may cause irritation and frostbite. They can also causesuffocation, dizziness and loss of concentration. When mixedwith compressed air or certain other refrigerants, it may formflammable mixture. Never try to service HVAC system yourselfwhich would involve refrigerant handling.

- If you sleep while operating the air conditioner or heater withall the windows closed, You may suffocate to death due to lackof ventilation. When you operate the air conditioner or heater,ventilate frequently.

Multiple vents are provided for distributing the air, being force-circulated by HVAC blower, throughout the passengercompartment.

To ensure sufficient air flow and hence adequate HVAC systemperformance, air flow path should be kept free of obstructions.Keep system’s air intake, located near plenum appliqué, free ofsnow, leaves and other debris. Also keep the area in front of airvents free of any obstruction inside the cabin.

Protection against exhaust gas entry into the vehicles interior isconsidered in the design of the exhaust system.

• Vehicle exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide,Nitrogen Oxides, Hydrocarbons and Particulate Matter. Theseare potential environmental and health hazards

• Avoid inhaling the exhaust gases. Carbon Monoxide is acolourless and odourless gas and can cause unconsciousnessor even death

• If the exhaust system is damaged for any reason or you notice achange in the exhaust noise, have the vehicle checked by anAuthorised Mahindra Dealer immediately

• Do not start the vehicle in a closed garage or in an enclosedarea where ventilation is poor for the exhaust gases

• Since the engine compartment and exhaust system componentsare hot and can ignite a fire, do not park or leave the vehicle withthe engine idling over dry grass, leaves, paper, rags or anycombustible material

Never keep the engine running when the vehicle is parked in anarea which is not properly ventilated. This could lead to seriousrespiratory problems and/or death.

• While backing up, keep a constant lookout for people, particularlychildren, or other obstructions or hazardous material that mightbe present behind the vehicle

• Avoid loading any items on the roof that will raise the vehiclescentre of gravity and make your vehicle more unstable

• Loaded vehicles, with a higher centre of gravity, may handledifferently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such asslower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be takenwhen driving a heavily loaded vehicle

• Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. Because of its profile andhigher centre of gravity, your vehicle is more sensitive to sidewinds than an ordinary passenger car. Slowing down will allowyou to have much better control

• When driving off-road or on rugged terrain, do not drive atexcessive speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike objects, etc.This may cause loss of control or vehicle rollover causing seriousinjury. You are also risking expensive damage to your vehicle'ssuspension and chassis

• Maintain steering wheel control at all times, especially on roughterrains. Sudden changes in terrain can result in abrupt steeringwheel motion. Make sure you grip the steering wheel from theoutside. Do not grip the spokes

• If the vehicle goes from one type of surface to another (e.g. fromconcrete to gravel/sand/mud/snow) there will be a change inthe way the vehicle responds, especially the way it responds tosteering, braking and accelerating inputs

• Be extremely careful when driving on pavements made slipperyby loose sand, water, gravel, snow or ice

• If your vehicle goes off the edge of the pavement, slow down, butavoid severe brake or steering application. Ease the vehicle backonto the pavement only after reducing your speed. Do not turnthe steering wheel too sharply while returning to the roadsurface

• It may be safer to stay on the apron or shoulder of the road andslow down gradually before returning to the pavement. You maylose control if you do not slow down or if you turn the steeringwheel too sharply or abruptly

• In an unavoidable emergency situation where a sudden sharpturn must be made, turn the steering wheel only as rapidly andas far as required to avoid the emergency. Excessive steering willresult in less vehicle control. Additionally, smooth variations ofthe accelerator and/or brake pedal pressure should be utilisedif changes in vehicle speed are called for. Avoid abrupt steering,acceleration or braking which could result in an increased risk ofloss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover and/or personal injury.Use all available road surfaces to return the vehicle to a safedirection of travel

• Maintain steering wheel control at all times. Sudden changes interrain can result in abrupt steering wheel motion

• Do not drive horizontally or diagonally across steep slopes, yourvehicle can tip over sideways. Driving straight up or straightdown is preferred

• Drive cautiously to avoid vehicle damage from concealed objectssuch as rocks and stumps. You should either know the terrain ormap-out your route before driving in the area

• Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off-road driving that has taken you through rough terrain, sand, mudor water

Although your vehicle is capable of driving through shallow water,there are a number of precautions that must be considered beforeentering the water.

Never drive through still water that is higher than the bottom ofthe axle hubs. Not following this instruction will allow water toenter vehicle components causing internal damage to thecomponents, affecting driveability, safety, emissions andreliability.

When driving through water, drive very slowly and at constantspeed, less than 8 kmph. Drive with accelerator pedal in OFF

and control speed, using only the brakes. At higher speedwaves can be generated by the front of the vehicle. Thesewater waves may enter air intake, causing severe enginedamage or cause a vehicle to get stalled.

You must slow down while driving through shallow water.Speeding may cause water to splash onto the windshield,impairing your vision. In extreme conditions, you may get awater wedge formation between the road and tyre causing lossof control in the vehicle.

• The ground under the water might not be firm which could resultthe water being deeper than expected when driving the vehiclethrough it

• Do not stop or shut OFF the engine while immersed in water. Ithelps in preventing water getting inside the exhaust pipes

• When backing down a ramp, do not allow the exhaust tail pipe toimmerse in water

• Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causingrusting and premature failure. It may also enter the differentials,transmission and transfer case, reducing the oil's lubricatingqualities. If these are submerged in water, the lubricants shouldbe replaced as required

• Water entering the transmission will cause deterioration in shiftquality, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration,and ultimately damaging the transmission

• Sand, mud/sludge that has accumulated in brake drums andaround brake discs may affect braking efficiency. This may alsodamage brake system components. Wet brakes cannot stop thevehicle as effectively as dry brakes. Drying can be improved bydriving the vehicle slowly while applying light pressure on thebrake pedal

• When driving through water, traction or brake capability may belimited. Always perform a maintenance inspection after each dayof off-road driving that has taken you through water

1144..55..44 FFlloowwiinngg WWaatteerr

If the water is swift flowing and rising (as in storm run-off) avoidcrossing until the water level recedes and/or the flow rate isreduced.

The flowing water can erode the streambed causing your vehicle tosink into deeper water.

Determine the exit point(s) that are downstream of your entry pointto compensate for drifting.

Off-road operation puts more stress on your vehicle than does moston-road driving. Always perform a maintenance inspection aftereach day of off-road driving that has taken you through roughterrain, sand, mud, or water.

• After going off-road, it is always a good idea to check for damage.Completely inspect the underbody of the vehicle for any damages

• Check for accumulations of plants or bushes or polyethylene /plastic. These could be a fire hazard. They might also hidedamage to fuel lines, brake tubes/hoses, etc.

• Inspect all the tubes/hoses and check for any fluid leakages

• Get heat exchangers (radiator and condenser) cleaned

• Check threaded fasteners for looseness, particularly on thechassis, drivetrain components, steering, suspension andbrakes. Retighten them, if required, and torque to the valuesspecified in the ‘Repair Manual’

• We also recommend that the vehicle be checked at theAuthorised Mahindra Dealer for any water entry into thetransmission/axle or the engine

Your vehicle is fitted with manual transmission having six forwardand one reverse gear. This shift pattern is imprinted on the gearlever knob. The transmission is fully synchronised in all forwardgears, so shifting to either a higher or a lower gear is easilyaccomplished. The clutch pedal should be depressed fully whileshifting, and then released slowly.

Coasting the vehicle with the gear lever in neutral and engineON/OFF is not recommended. In an event of panic braking, youwill not have the power of engine braking to slow down thevehicle. This may lead to personal injury or accident.

Do not leave the vehicle with the gear lever in neutral position.Always engage manual parking brake before leaving the vehicle,to prevent any vehicle movement leading to possible injury to abystander or damage to vehicle.

Shift gears at suitable road speeds to safeguard thetransmission components. Avoid driving in high RPM’s (>3000RPM).

When parking on an incline, gear alone may not be sufficient toprevent the vehicle from moving. Always set the manual parkingbrake in addition to shifting the gear lever into gear. It is alsorecommended to turn the front wheels towards the road curb.

This gear is to enable the vehicle to move in the reverse direction.Move the gear lever into this position only after the vehicle hascome to a complete stop and the gear lever is in neutral position.

The reverse lock ring located immediately below the gear shift knobmust be pulled upward while moving the shift lever to the reverse(R) position.

To avoid transmission damage, shift into or out of reverse gearonly after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and theengine is at idle speed. It is recommended you waitapproximately for three secs. in neutral gear before shifting intoor out of reverse gear.

For brief stops, e. g. at traffic lights, keep the gear shift inneutral and hold the vehicle with the brake pedal. For prolongedstops, it is recommended to switch OFF the engine and applythe parking brake. When stopping the vehicle on an uphillgradient, do not hold it with the clutch/accelerator; use thebrake to avoid unnecessary clutch wear/heat buildup.

Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle or with accessto an unlocked vehicle. Children could move the gear lever,which could result in an accident or serious injury.

This system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicleunder various driving conditions. The ESP corrects for over-steeringand under-steering behaviour of the vehicle by applying the brake ofthe appropriate wheel automatically. Engine power may also bereduced to assist in counteracting the condition of over-steer orunder-steer and help the vehicle maintain the desired path.

ESP uses steering angle sensors and YAW rate sensor todetermine the path that the driver intends to steer the vehicle andcompares it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the actual pathdoes not match the intended path, the ESP applies the brake of theappropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the condition of over-steer or under-steer.

The ESP cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from actingon the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded byprevailing road conditions. The ESP cannot prevent accidents,including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, drivingon very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive,and skilful driver can prevent accidents. The capabilities of anESP-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless ordangerous manner that could jeopardise the user’s safety orthe safety of others.

Whenever the vehicle is started, the ESP system will be in activemode. This mode should be used for most driving conditions.

When the ESP is in operation, ESP indicator lampblinks in the instrument cluster.

When the ESP is operating, you can feel a slight pulsation in thevehicle. This is only the effect of brake control and indicatesnothing unusual.

When moving out of the mud or slippery road, acceleratorresponse may be different because ESP system controls theengine RPM to come out of this slippery road condition. This isnormal.

In some driving conditions, to maximise traction, it may be beneficialto de-activate ESP.

Such conditions are:

• To start in deep snow or on a loose surface

• Driving in deep sand

• Driving through deep mud etc.

To de-activate ESP, press ESP OFF button on thecentral bezel switch bank. Once ESP OFF mode isselected, a warning indicator illuminates in the

instrument cluster.

Press ESP OFF button again to activate ESP function.

Mahindra recommends that ESP be operational in all normaldriving conditions.

When ESP is in OFF mode, other functions like HHC (Hill HoldControl), HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist), HDC (Hill DescentControl), DTC (Drag Torque Control), ROM (Roll Over Mitigation)will be in working mode.

However, for safety reasons, if the ESP system detects that thevehicle is going into a unstable condition, ESP will beautomatically activated on depressing the brake pedal

ESP, by default, will be in ON condition for every ignition cycle.

If the ESP indicator blinks while driving, it indicatesthat ESP is working. If this indicator illuminatescontinuously, it indicates a malfunction in the ESP

Proper Tyre inflation pressure is essential to the safe andsatisfactory operation of your vehicle. Three primary areas areaffected by improper Tyre pressure:

• Safety

• Economy

• Ride Comfort and Vehicle Stability

Proper Tyre inflation contributes to a comfortable and safe ride.Overinflating produces a jarring and uncomfortable ride. Bothunderinflation and overinflation affect the stability of the vehicle andcan produce a feeling of sluggish response or over responsivenessin the steering. Unequal Tyre pressures can cause erratic andunpredictable steering response or may cause the vehicle to driftleft or right.

Improper inflation pressures can cause uneven wear patterns todevelop across the Tyre tread. These abnormal wear patterns willreduce tread life resulting in a need for earlier Tyre replacement.Under inflation also increases Tyre rolling resistance and results inhigher fuel consumption.

The proper cold Tyre inflation pressure is listed in the TyreLabel (Vehicle Placard), located on the front passenger sideinner B-pillar.

The Tyre pressure should be checked and adjusted, as well asinspected for signs of Tyre wear or visible damage, at least once amonth. Use a good quality pressure gauge to check Tyre pressure.Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation.Radial Tyres may look properly inflated even when they areunderinflated. At the same time, each Tyre should be inspected forsigns of Tyre wear or visible damage.

Inflation pressures specified on the placard are always cold Tyreinflation pressures. Cold Tyre inflation pressure is defined as theTyre pressure after the vehicle has not been driven for at leastthree hours, or driven less than 1 km after a three-hour period.Check Tyre pressures more often if subject to a wide range ofoutdoor temperatures, as Tyre pressures vary with temperaturechanges. Tyre pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per

7°C of air temperature change. Keep this in mind when checkingTyre pressure inside a garage, especially in the winter.

When it was new, the spare Tyre in your vehicle was fully inflated.However, a spare Tyre can lose pressure over time. In order toavoid being stranded, check the spare Tyre air pressure frequently.

1155..44..22 IInnffllaattiinngg YYoouurr TTyyrreess

Safe operation of your vehicle requires that your Tyres are properlyinflated. Remember that a Tyre can lose up to half of its airpressure without appearing flat.

At least once a month or before long trips, inspect each Tyre andcheck the Tyre pressure with a Tyre gauge (including spare Tyre).Inflate all Tyres to the recommended inflation pressure.

Under-inflation is the most common cause of Tyre failures andmay result in severe Tyre cracking, tread separation or“blowout,” with unexpected loss of vehicle control and increasedrisk of injury. Under-inflation increases sidewall flexing androlling resistance, resulting in heat buildup and internal damageto the Tyre. It also may result in unnecessary Tyre stress,irregular wear, loss of vehicle control and accidents.

Always inflate your Tyres to the recommended pressure even if it isless than the maximum inflation pressure information found on theTyre. The recommended Tyre inflation pressure is found on the Tyre

Label which is located on the front passenger side inner B-pillar.Failure to follow the Tyre pressure recommendations can causeuneven tread wear patterns and adversely affect the way yourvehicle handles.

If you overfill the Tyre, release air by pushing the metal stem inthe centre of the valve. Then recheck the pressure.

After inspecting or adjusting the Tyre pressure, always reinstalthe valve stem cap (if equipped). This will prevent moisture anddirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage thestem, resulting in an unexpected loss of Tyre pressure, anaccident and/or personal injury.

Combining radial ply Tyres with other types of Tyres on yourvehicle will cause your vehicle to handle poorly, resulting in anaccident and/or personal injury. Always use radial Tyres in setsof four. Never combine them with other types of Tyres.

Cuts and punctures in radial Tyres are repairable only in thetread area because of sidewall flexing. Consult your AuthorisedMahindra Dealer for radial Tyre repairs.

Tread wear indicators are moulded into the bottom of the treadgrooves. They will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes1/16 inch (2 mm). When the indicators appear in two or moreadjacent grooves, the Tyre should be replaced.

Avoid abrupt manoeuvring and braking. This can cause Tyredeterioration and lead to loss of steering or braking control.

1155..44..55 LLiiffee ooff TTyyrree

The service life of a Tyre is dependent upon various factorsincluding but not limited to:

• Driving style

• Tyre pressure

• Distance driven

Keep dismounted Tyres in a cool, dry place with as littleexposure to light as possible. Protect Tyres from contact withoil, grease and fuels.

Do not use a Tyre, wheel size or speed rating other than thatspecified for your vehicle on the Tyre placard. Combinations ofunapproved Tyres and wheels may change suspensiongeometric and performance characteristics, resulting inchanges to steering, handling and braking of your vehicle. Thiscan cause unpredictable handling, stress to steering andsuspension components. You could lose control of the vehicleor the Tyre can unexpectedly fail, resulting in an accident and/or personal injury.

Replacing original Tyres with Tyres of a different size may resultin false speedometer and odometer readings.

Tyres on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at differentloads and perform different steering, handling, and brakingfunctions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates anddevelop irregular wear patterns.

Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow, andwet traction levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride. Followthe recommended Tyre rotation frequency for your type of driving.

TPMS is an electronic system designed to monitor the air pressureinside the pneumatic tyres. This system will alert the driver if thetyre pressure falls below the low pressure warning limit for anyreason, including low temperature effects and natural pressureloss through the tyre.

The TPMS will continue to alert the driver and will not turn off untilthe tyre pressure is inflated to the recommended pressure.

1155..66..11 OOppeerraattiioonn ooff TTPPMMSS

TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronicsensors to monitor tyre pressure . Sensors mounted to the valvestem of each wheel, transmit tyre pressure readings to thereceiver module. Receiver module i will communicate thisinformation to the instrument cluster and infotainment system.

Tyre locations will display as OK, if all tyre pressure andtemperature are in the recommended range except for spare tyre(User Shall verify spare tyre pressure, in certain conditions systemmay not update pressure for Spare tire correctly)

The User can press show all button is HMI to see pressure andtemperature for all running tyres.

The TPMS has been customized only for the manufacturer’sgenuine tyres and wheels. TPMS pressure limits and warningmessages have been established for the tyre size equipped on yourvehicle. Replacement of manufacturer’s parts with a different size,type or style of components may damage the sensor and lead toincorrect readings. Do not use aftermarket tyre sealants orbalance beads if your vehicle is equipped with TPMS. Failure tocomply may lead to sensor damage. The TPMS is not intended toreplace normal tyre care and maintenance or to provide warning ofa tyre failure or condition.

The TPMS should not be used as a tyre pressure gauge whileadjusting vehicle tyre pressure.

Driving with under-inflated tyres cause the tyres to overheat andmay lead to tyre failure.

Under-inflated tyres reduce fuel efficiency, tyre tread life and mayaffect the vehicle's maneuverability & braking ability.

The TPMS is not a substitute for tyre maintenance, it is the driver'sresponsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure using an accuratepressure gauge, even if under- inflation has not reached the level totrigger illumination of the TPMS warning indicator.

If the engine is getting overheated, the Engine Management Systemreduces engine power substantially and may even shut the engineOFF; it is dangerous to continue driving when the engine hasoverheated. You need to first cool the engine down before startingto drive again.

Follow the below instructions to cool the engine down:

• Progressively reduce the vehicle speed and bring the vehicle to astop at the side of the road

• Turn ON the hazard warning flashers

• Keep the engine running at idle

• Engage the parking brake

• Switch off the air-conditioner

• Wait till the engine coolant temperature drops sufficiently suchthat the needle in the temperature gauge is around halfwaybetween C and H

Now switch the engine OFF and carefully open the bonnet/hood tovisibly inspect the engine cooling system parts. Be cautious whiledoing an inspection as vehicle parts will still be too hot. Verify thatthe engine coolant level in the coolant recovery tank is maintainedbetween the 'Min' and 'Max' mark. Check for possible fluid leakages.Check for damages to heat exchangers and connecting hoses. Alsoverify that the radiator shrouds, engine fan blades and the enginebelt all are in good condition.

If any evidence of failure is observed, contact the nearestAuthorised Mahindra Dealer for help. In case, no system leakage/failure is suspected, driving can be continued.

Either due to severe operating conditions or due to any systemleakages or failures, the engine can get overheated. However, if theengine is getting overheated repeatedly, even in normal operatingconditions, get the vehicle checked by an Authorised MahindraDealer as soon as possible.

Refer to the 'High Engine Coolant Temperature' section underthe 'Features and Control' chapter for details.

If the high engine coolant temperature warning is ignored, theengine shuts OFF abruptly to safeguard engine componentsfrom overheating and consequent failure. Abrupt engine shut-off can lead to uncontrollable driving condition and accidents.

Stay clear of hot and rotating vehicle parts while visuallyinspecting the vehicle. The coolant inside the cooling system isunder high pressure and temperature. Never open thepressure cap of the degassing tank when the engine is hot. Nottaking precautions may lead to serious injury to your skin/eyes.

For optimum performance of the cooling system, you mustmaintain the required coolant level and use only recommendedengine coolant.

If your vehicle's battery has run down, you may be able to start theengine by using a standalone booster battery or a vehicle with agood condition battery.

But before going ahead with this procedure ensure that the batteryis the cause of vehicle not starting. To confirm this, few simple testscan be conducted as follows:

• CChheecckk tthhee hheeaaddlliigghhttss -- Are they dim or bright? If they are dim, it'slikely your battery is dead. If your headlights are bright, you do nothave a dead battery and a jumpstart may not help.

Open the bonnet and locate the battery (near the left side fender).Identify the positive and negative terminals:

• The positive terminal will be marked with a plus sign (+) and willusually have a RREEDD cable attached on it

• The negative terminal will be marked with a minus sign (-) and willusually have a BBLLAACCKK cable attached to it

Check the physical condition of the battery. Inspect batteries forcracks, leaks or any other damage. If you find any of these things, donot jumpstart the vehicle. Call Mahindra Road Side Assistance orreplace the battery. If the weather is very cold, remove the refillcaps and check the condition of the electrolyte. If it seems slushy orlike ice, do not attempt jumpstarting until it thaws.

1. Park the working vehicle near the disabled vehicle. Park thevehicle in such a way that the distance between both vehiclebatteries is as small as practical. Turn off the engine, radio,lights, A/C, fans and all other electrical components. Makesure that all of these things are OFF in the disabled vehicle, too

Don't let the vehicles touch each other.

2. Wear safety gear (goggles or face guard and gloves) if youhave it.

It may be necessary to remove the disabled vehicle’sbattery cables from the battery terminals and clean bothcables and terminals. Use a stiff wire brush to remove allcorrosion. Reconnect the cables to the battery terminalsand jump the vehicle.

3. Untangle and unwind your jumper cables. Like your batteries,your jumper cables will probably have red and black cables andwill have heavy duty clamps to connect to the batteryterminals. You must make sure that the red and black ends ofyour jumper cables never touch each other once they areconnected to the batteries; permitting them to do so canresult in serious arcing and/or damage to one or bothvehicles.

4. Connect the jumper cables in the order described below:

• Connect one red clamp to the positive (+) terminal of thedead battery/disabled vehicle

• Connect the other red clamp to the positive (+) terminal ofthe good battery

• Connect one black clamp to the negative (-) terminal of thegood battery

• Connect the other black clamp to a piece of grounded metalon the dead vehicle, preferably shiny metal (not painted oroily) that is attached to the engine. Usually a nut, bolt orother protruding shiny metal will work. You may see a small

spark when you connect to a good ground. As a last resort,you may connect to the negative (-) post of the dead battery,but this risks igniting hydrogen gas coming off the battery

Make sure none of the cables are dangling into the enginecompartment, where they could be exposed to movingparts.

5. Start the working vehicle. Let it idle for a few minutes. Rev theengine a little above idle for 30 to 60 secs.. You do this tocharge the battery in the dead vehicle. A good cleanconnection between the battery cables and the batteryterminals is essential.

6. Try to start the disabled vehicle. If it does not start, shut theengine off and disconnect the last connection temporarily whileyou slightly twist or wiggle each of the four clamps to helpensure a good electrical connection. Restart the working

vehicle again. Allow another 5 minutes for charging beforeattempting to start the disabled vehicle. If this does not workafter a few tries, you may need to have the vehicle towed orthe battery replaced.

7. Remove the jumper cables once the vehicle starts. Do this inthe reverse of the order in which they were attached, and don'tlet any of the cables or clamps touch each other (or dangleinto the engine compartment)

• Disconnect the black clamp from the grounded metal onthe dead vehicle

• Disconnect the black clamp from the negative (-) terminal ofthe good battery

• Disconnect the red clamp from the positive (+) terminal ofthe good battery

• Disconnect the red clamp from the positive (+) terminal ofthe dead battery

Replace any positive (+) red post protective covers if applicable(You have had to remove or open these in the beginning)These covers help prevent accidental short circuiting of thebattery.

8. Keep the recently-disabled vehicle's engine running. Run thevehicle above idle (slightly revved up with your foot on theaccelerator). This should give the battery enough charge tostart the vehicle again. If it does not, you probably have a deadbattery or a dying alternator.

Improper jumpstarting procedures can result in batteryexplosion and acid burn hazard.

Loosely connected battery cables could damage the electroniccontrol units.

To disconnect battery terminals, wait for at least 2 minutes toallow discharge of high voltage or it could lead to personalinjury.

While disconnecting, always disconnect the -VE terminal firstand while connecting, always connect the -VE terminal last.

Do not connect battery terminals with opposite polarity, it willlead to alternator failure.

Towing a vehicle to start could be dangerous. The vehicle beingtowed could surge forward when the engine starts, causing thetow vehicles to collide, injuring the occupants.

Modern vehicles with electronic management systems shouldnot be jumpstarted without ‘protected’ jumpstarter leads. It isnecessary to refer to the owner's handbook for jumpstartingprocedures for such vehicles.

Engine oil has the primary functions of lubricating and cooling theinside of the engine. It plays a major role in maintaining the enginein proper working order. Therefore, it is essential to check theengine oil regularly.

1177..55..33 EEnnggiinnee OOiill CCoonnssuummppttiioonn

It is normal for engines to consume some engine oil duringoperation.

Causes of consumption in a normal engine are as follows:

• Oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders. Thinfilms of oil, left over when pistons move in cylinders, are suckedinto the combustion chamber due to high negative pressuregenerated when the vehicle is decelerating. This oil gets burnt inthe combustion chamber

• Oil is also used to lubricate the stems of intake valves. Some ofthis oil is sucked into the combustion chamber together with theintake air and is burnt there

• Engine oil consumption depends on the operating conditions inwhich the vehicle is driven. Oil consumption will be more due tohigh speed driving and frequent acceleration and deceleration. Anew engine may consume more oil since its pistons, piston ringsand cylinder walls are not conditioned

1177..55..44 CChheecckkiinngg//TTooppppiinngg tthhee EEnnggiinnee OOiill

• Make sure the vehicle is on level ground

• Turn the engine OFF and wait a few minutes for the oil to settledown into the oil sump

Make sure you have window ice scrapers and de-icers for the locks.When you're stuck, having a small shovel is useful to dig out of thesnow. The weight of a bag of sand in the trunk will give addedtraction in rear-wheel drive vehicles and can be used to sprinkle onthe snow and ice to gain better traction. And don't forget personalprotection such as a warm coat, hat, gloves and a blanket, in caseyou get stuck in a storm.

Start the engine occasionally, here are a few pointers to keep inmind:

• Run it in a well-ventilated area. Carbon monoxide can build upquickly

• Run for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the engine to comeup to the normal operating temperature. This will allow the oil tocirculate and will also open up the thermostat so that yourradiator anti-freeze circulates as well

• Start up the air-conditioner and/or heater and run both for 10minutes or so. Again, circulating fluids is essential for good life ofthe system
