4.11 Caring For Your Vehicle in Winter
During the winter, undesirable road conditions frequently happen.
Therefore, appropriate preparations for emergencies should occur.
Before driving in suburban or rural areas, or on a snowing day, have
bags of sand, snow chains, a shovel, gloves, and old clothes in your
vehicle
Coolant
Before it gets cold, check the coolant level. If only water has been
added into the coolant reservoir, the engine and the cooling system
of your vehicle may seriously be damaged when the water freezes
as it gets below the freezing point. Use recommended coolant.
• When the vehicle is shipped, the cooling system is filled with
a four-season coolant
• Before adding or refilling coolant, ensure that the coolant is
a 50:50 mixture of water and antifreeze
• Use only Mahindra genuine coolant
Washer Fluid
Use a genuine washer fluid that does not freeze on a cold day.
When non-recommended washer liquid is used, the liquid may form
an ice. This will damage the wiper motor and hinder your safe
driving.
Engine Oil
When the vehicle is shipped, the engine is filled with Maximile
engine oil.
Tyres
Snow tyres are more desirable on an icy or snow-covered road.
Have snow tyres installed on your vehicle before driving on such a
road.
• When snow tyres are installed, drive your vehicle at a lower
speed than normal
• Instal snow chains correctly. Otherwise, the chains may
damage the wheelhouses or the body of your vehicle
Air Conditioner
When the air conditioner has not been used for an extended period
of time, internal moving components may become seized because
the lubricating system has not worked for a prolonged amount of
time. As a result, the refrigerant may leak or rusting may happen to
