Remove/Prise out the tow hook cover in the front LHS bumper using a screwdriver.
Screw in the tow hook and tighten. Fasten a cable or chain specifically intended for
use in towing vehicles to the towing hook.
Vehicles with Automatic Transmission — Never tow your vehicle lifted from the
front with the rear wheels on the ground, as this may cause serious damage to
the automatic transmission. Use flat bed towing only.
Use only the towing hook provided, for towing in an emergency. Do not tow by
the bumper or any other part which may be damaged.
Use only the cable or chain specifically intended for use in towing vehicles.
A driver must be in the vehicle being towed to steer and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner must be done only on hard-surfaced roads for short
distances and at low speeds. Also, the wheels, axles, drive train, steering and
brakes must all be in good working condition.
Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers, which would place excessive
stress on the towing hook and towing cable or chain, resulting in breakage of
the hook or the chain.
If the engine is not running, the power assist for the steering and brakes will not
be functional, making it harder to steer or brake than usual.
Use only a cable or chain specifically intended for use in towing vehicles.
When lifting the rear wheels, take care to ensure adequate ground clearance
for towing at the front end of the raised vehicle. The bumper and/or underbody
of the vehicle may be damaged during towing.
13.6 Limp Home Mode
Limp home mode is an emergency situation declared by the EMS (Engine
Management System) due to failure of one/more critical sensors/actuators. In this
mode, the EMS (Engine Management System) will revert back to basic minimum
requirement (fuel quantity/injection timings) to aid the driver to bring the vehicle
back to the nearest workshop. Needless to say the drivability and fuel consumption
will be greatly affected.
If vehicle acceleration worsens, or the transmission no longer shifts, the
transmission is most likely operating in the Limp Home Mode. This mode is activated
when there is a malfunction in the transmission. This condition is accompanied by
the illumination of the check engine lamp in the instrument cluster. In this mode only
the 4th gear or reverse gear can be activated. In this mode, the vehicle speed is
limited and the accelerator pedal may not function normally. It is recommended you
contact an Authorized Mahindra Dealer immediately for assistance.
The limp home mode can be erased, only after rectifying the problem.
