7.11.1 When the Engine Overheats
• Move off the road to a safe place away from traffic. Park on a
firm and level ground. Apply the parking brake and shift the
transmission to the P position (automatic transmission)
• Turn off the air conditioner or heater if used. Open the engine
hood to ventilate the engine compartment
• If you see steam under the hood, stop the engine immediately. If
there is no steam, open the hood and leave the engine running in
idling speed
• However, if the gauge doesn’t go down to the normal range even
in idling, stop the engine and cool it down
• Check the coolant level in the reserve tank. If it is too low, check
for leaks in the radiator hoses and connections
• Add coolant into the reserve tank if necessary
• If necessary, cover the tank cap with a cloth and turn the cap a
little to release any pressure. After fully releasing the pressure,
remove the cap and fill up the tank. Then, put the cap back on
the tank
• If the coolant level is normal, have the cooling system checked by
a Mahindra Dealer or Mahindra Authorised Service Centre
• When the engine overheats because of the low coolant level,
immediately turn off the engine and let it cool down
• Opening the reserve tank cap should be performed when the
engine is off and has cooled down
• Scalding hot coolant and steam could be blown out under
pressure, which could cause serious injury. Never remove
the coolant reserve tank cap when the engine and the
radiator are hot
• The engine may be damaged if you add cold water abruptly
when the engine is still hot
• Use only Mahindra recommended (antifreeze) coolants
• If the problem continues, have the cooling system checked
by a Mahindra Dealer or Mahindra Authorised Service
Centre
• To avoid being scalded, carefully open the engine hood
• Scalding hot coolant and steam could be blown out under
pressure, which could cause serious injury. Never remove
the coolant reservoir cap when the engine and the radiator
are still hot
