To prevent damage to the starter, do not crank the engine
for more than 15 seconds at a time. Wait 10 to 15
seconds before trying again.
If the engine stalls while driving
Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move
cautiously off the road to a safe place. Turn ON your hazard warning
flashers and check for any malfunction lamps in the instrument
cluster. Turn the ignition OFF, wait for approximately 90 seconds
and try starting the engine again. If the vehicle still does not start
contact an Authorized Mahindra Dealer.
If the engine stalls while running, the power assist for the
brakes and steering will not work. Steering and braking will be
much harder than usual.
If the engine speed does not increase
If the engine speed does not increase when the accelerator pedal is
depressed, there may be a problem in the Engine Management
System, electrical or electronic controls. In case of certain faults,
the engine may go to limp home mode, which is indicated by the
check engine lamp. Have your vehicle checked by an Authorized
Mahindra Dealer as soon as possible.
13.3 Vehicle Overheating
If the needle in the temperature gauge in the instrument cluster is
all the way up to the H and/or the high engine coolant temperature
warning lamp is ON, your engine has overheated.
If the engine is getting overheated, the Engine Management System
reduces engine power substantially and may even shut the engine
OFF; it is dangerous to continue driving when the engine has
overheated. You need to first cool the engine down before starting
to drive again.
Follow the below instructions to cool the engine down
• Progressively reduce the vehicle speed and bring the vehicle to a
stop 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 such
that the needle in the temperature gauge is around halfway
between C and H
