14.11.8 Checking/Topping Power Steering Fluid
Check the power steering fluid level at the defined service intervals. Refer to
Maintenance Chart for details.
The fluid level should be checked if a leak is suspected, abnormal noises are
apparent, and/or the system is not functioning as anticipated. Coordinate inspection
efforts through an Authorized Mahindra Dealer.
Driving a vehicle with power steering fluid below the minimum mark will damage
steering system.
Use only recommended power steering fluid. Do not use other types of power
steering fluids which may damage the power steering system.
The fluid level in the reservoir should be checked on a level surface with the
engine OFF to prevent injury from moving parts and to ensure accurate fluid
level reading.
Follow the below steps for checking and topping up the power steering fluid;
1. Start the engine and let it run until it reaches normal operating temperature
2. While the engine idles, turn the steering wheel left and right a couple of times
3. Turn the engine OFF
4. Check the power steering fluid level in the reservoir
5. The fluid level should be maintained between the ‘MIN’ and ‘MAX’ marks on
the dipstick, integrated with the cap
6. If the fluid is low, add fluid in small amounts, continuously checking the level
until it reaches the correct operating range. Be sure to put the cap back on
the reservoir
7. With a clean cloth, wipe any spilled fluid from all surfaces
Changing of power steering fluid should always be done by an Authorized
Mahindra Dealer.
14.11.9 Windshield Washer Fluid Top-up
Top up the windshield washer reservoir as and when required. The fluid reservoir is
located on the LHS of the engine bay behind the left head lamp. The reservoir
supplies washer fluid to both front and rear (if equipped).
In very cold weather conditions, fill the reservoir with washer fluid premixed with anti-
freeze.
If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below 4.5ºC, use washer fluid with
anti-freeze protection. Failure to use washer fluid with anti-freeze protection in
cold weather could result in impaired windshield vision and increase the risk of
injury or accident.
