• Do not wear the shoulder belt under the arm. It increases
the danger of sliding out of the belt and can cause serious
injury or even death. The belt may also tighten the chest
which is not as strong as the shoulders. This may also result
in serious internal injuries
• Do not lock the seat belt with a clip or a clamp. If the seat
belt is too loose, it may not protect your body from injury or
death in an accident
• Before driving, all occupants should wear the seat belts.
Otherwise, occupants could be seriously injured in collisions
or sudden manoeuvers. In many countries, there are
regulations regarding the use of the seat belts. Please
observe local laws and regulations
• Do not buckle up two or more persons with one seat belt
• Do not wear the seat belt over any hard or breakable objects
in pockets or on clothes
• An infant and tiny child must be restrained in a child
restraint system. Note that the three-point seat belt is
designed for a person who is taller than 140 cm
• Periodically check that the seat belt and its components
work properly. A damaged seat belt can cause serious
injuries. Repair or replace the damaged seat belt
immediately at a Mahindra Dealer or Mahindra Authorised
Service centre
• The warning light comes on whenever the ignition is
switched on. The light goes out when the driver’s seat belt is
securely fastened. If the light does not go off after fastening
the seat belt, it means that there is a malfunction in the
system. Have the seat belt system checked by a Mahindra
Dealer or Mahindra Authorised Service centre
• Additional devices or accessories on the seat belt may result
in improper operation. Do not add any adjusting devices
which restrict the seat belt operation
• Periodically inspect all parts of the belt and have the
damaged parts replaced. The belt that has been
overstretched in an accident must be replaced with a new
one. Mahindra recommends replacing all component parts
of the seat belt after a collision. No replacement is required
after a minor collision if a Mahindra Dealer or Mahindra
Authorised Service centre finds that no damage has
occurred and everything is in proper working order. The seat
belt components that were not used during a collision must
also be inspected and replaced if they show signs of damage
or faulty operation
• Replace the entire seat belt assembly after a severe impact
even if the damage is not obvious
• Never modify the seat belt
• Always keep the seat belts clean and dry. Care should be
taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oil
and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Use mild soap
