Do not touch the battery terminals that are on the back housing or the printed
circuit board.
Pull out the battery and discard the same. Insert new battery of same type.
While fitting the new battery, ensure the positive side of the batteries face up
(for button type). Align both the halves of the RKE and screw to tight fit. Check
operation of the RKE.
7.4.11 If RKE is Lost
If you have lost the programmed RKE, contact an Authorized Mahindra Dealer for
procuring a new RKE.
While programming a new key set, you will have to submit all the keys available with
you to an Authorized Mahindra Dealer.
There is a limitation (max 2 keys at a time) to the number of keys that can be
programmed. The minimum time frame required to supply the duplicate keys is
20 days after all the formalities are completed. Please contact the dealer to
understand the formalities involved.
If the key is stolen or lost, communicate to an Authorized Mahindra Dealer to
de-activate the function of the lost or stolen key. This is essential to avoid
unauthorized access using the misplaced key.
Only RKE transmitters programmed to your vehicle electronics can be used for
remote locking and unlocking of your vehicle.
7.4.12 Precautions while Handling RKE:
• Do not cover the key grip with any material that cuts off RF waves
• Do not leave the key exposed to high temperatures for a long period, such as on
the dashboard or hood under direct sunlight
• Do not put the key in any liquid or wash it in an ultrasonic washer
7.5 Engine Immobilizer System (if equipped)
An Engine Immobilizer System is a security system that prevents the vehicle being
operated by an unauthorized person. The Engine immobilizer prevents the engine
from being started unless it recognizes signals from the correct coded key.
The system is automatically activated when the key is removed from the ignition.
In order to safeguard the theft protection system of the vehicle, Mahindra will
not supply EMS ECU (Engine Management System - Electronic Control Unit),
vehicle keys and the ICU as a set for any vehicle.
7.5.1 Features of the Immobilizer System
• Prevents the vehicle being started by anyone not in possession of the correct
vehicle key
• The vehicle is automatically protected after the key is removed from the ignition.
At every ignition ON, if the vehicle does not recognize the correct key code, the
engine check lamp will illuminate/blink and the engine cannot be started
• The vehicle will not be protected until the key has been taken out of the ignition
If the engine check lamp flashes or remains continuously illuminated after the
ignition being switched ON, there is a system malfunction. Contact an
Authorized Mahindra Dealer immediately.
Inserting the correct coded key in the ignition and switching the ignition ON,
automatically deactivates the system. This enables the engine to start.
