• For hot weather conditions or for rapid cooling, it is recommended to use AC
HI. Switch over to AC LO once the cabin is cooled considerably
• For cold or normal weather conditions, it is recommended to use AC LO
The following steps outline the procedure to switch ON the AC;
1. Adjust the blower speed as required.
2. Select the air distribution mode as desired.
3. Select the air re-circulation mode if required.
4. Press the AC HI/LO button (manual) or AC button (Auto Climate Control) to
turn ON the AC.
5. Adjust the temperature control dial as per the temperature requirement.
Your vehicle is equipped with an HVAC filter. If the AC performance is
considerably low, it is recommended have the HVAC filter checked at the
nearest Mahindra Dealer.
10.13 Rapid Cabin Cooling
For rapid cooling of the cabin, the following AC settings are recommended:
1. Make sure that all the windows are fully closed
2. Set the blower to maximum speed
3. Fully open the vents and adjust louvers to direct air toward face
4. Set the air distribution control to face mode
5. Set air intake control to recirculation mode
6. Turn the air conditioner ON in AC HI mode (manual HVAC)
7. Set the temperature control knob to the extreme left (coolest) position
Once the passenger compartment reaches a comfortable temperature, shift to
fresh air, AC LO mode (manual HVAC). Also blower speed and temperature control
knob can be re-adjusted as desired.
If your vehicle was parked in the hot sun with all the windows closed, drive the
vehicle with windows open for the first few minutes. This will help in venting the
hot interior air out and allow the air conditioner to cool the cabin quickly.
10.14 Rapid Cabin Heating
For rapid heating of the cabin, the following AC settings are recommended:
1. Make sure that all the windows are fully closed
2. Set the blower to maximum speed
3. Set the air distribution control to foot mode
4. Set air intake control to recirculation mode
5. Set the temperature control knob to extreme right (hot) position
6. For dehumidified heating, switch the air conditioner ON in AC HI mode (manual
HVAC)
Once the passenger compartment reaches a comfortable temperature, the blower
speed and temperature control knob can be readjusted as desired. Also if AC HI was
selected earlier, you should shift to AC LO mode (manual HVAC).
In extreme cold weather conditions, the engine coolant takes time to get heated
up. Hence it might take a while for hot air to discharge, even though the blower
is running and the temperature control knob is set to the hot position.
