Your vehicle is equipped with a Mahindra genuine battery. For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the top of the
battery clean and dry. Also, make certain the battery cables are always tightly fastened to the battery terminals.
If you see any corrosion on the battery or terminals, remove the cables from the terminals and clean with a wire
brush. To prevent corrosion, apply petroleum jelly to the battery terminals. Tighten loose terminals and hold down
clamp nuts only enough to keep the battery firmly in place. Tightening excessively may damage the battery
terminals.
13.11.1 For Best Battery Service
•
Keep the battery securely mounted
•
Keep the battery top clean and dry
•
Keep the terminals and connections clean, tight and coated with petroleum jelly or terminal grease
•
Rinse any spilled electrolyte from the battery immediately with a solution of water and baking soda
Do not disconnect battery terminals while the engine is running. This will adversely affect all electronic controllers.
While removing the battery, always disconnect the negative terminal first. And while installing the battery, ensure the
negative terminal is connected last.
It is recommended that the negative battery cable terminal be disconnected from the battery if you plan to store your
vehicle for an extended period of time. This will minimize the discharge of your battery during storage.
Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery acid to contact eyes, skin or clothing. Don't lean over
battery when attaching clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other. If acid splashes in the eyes or on the skin,
flush contaminated area immediately with large quantities of water.
A battery generates hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep any flame or spark away from the vent
holes.
Keep batteries out of reach of children. Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead
components. Wash hands after handling batteries.
If the battery has been disconnected or a new battery has been installed, the clock (if equipped) and the preset radio
(if equipped) stations must be reset once the battery is reconnected.
The replacement battery must meet the specification of the originally fitted battery.
13.11.2 Battery Charge Indicator - Amaron (if equipped)
