8.9 Do-it-Yourself Operation
• Be careful not to touch any hot components such as the
engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, or
muffler when the engine is just stopped. They may burn you
badly. Let the engine cool down before any service
• When working with the battery or fuel-related components,
always stop the engine and do not smoke. Also, remove all
flames or sparks near the vehicle
• Do not connect and disconnect the battery terminals when
the ignition key is in the “ON” position
• The polarity of the battery, i. e. the connections for the
positive and negative cables, must not be interchanged
• The battery cables and wires transfer high voltage and
current. Avoid any short circuit
• Make sure that the ignition key is “OFF” when performing any
work in an enclosed space such as a garage
• Keep the used oil and coolant out of reach of children. (For a
proper disposal of them, contact a professional service.)
• When checking your vehicle, you must turn off the engine
first. Then, put the shift lever into the “P” (automatic
transmission)
• The electrical cooling fan can start to operate unexpectedly
even when the engine is stopped. Disconnect the negative
battery cable before you check the radiator, cooling fan or
nearby parts
• Check the level of the engine oil and every fluid including
coolant daily. If you drive while the fluid levels are low, your
vehicle can be damaged and such damages will not be
covered by warranty
• Use only the genuine Mahindra oils and fluids
• Do not allow oils and coolant to make contact with skin or
painted surfaces during inspection or refill of them. They can
also damage paint finish. If skin contact happens, rinse
affected areas immediately with plenty of water and then
consult a doctor
• Do not overfill the oil or coolant, otherwise the engine and
transmission may be damaged. Maintain the specified level
• The performance of oils and coolant may be deteriorated
when they are exposed to dust and moisture. Be careful not
to allow contact with dust while refilling
• In spite of very limited driving of your vehicle, oils and other
fluids can disappear over the time. Therefore, check their
levels frequently
