Driving with tyre chains installed.
•
Driving over steps such as the joints on the road.
•
Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or differences in surface height.
The ABS warning lamp is located on the Telltale switch bank in the right side of the Instrument Panel.
The ABS warning lamp lights up when you switch ON the ignition and should go out after a few seconds. If the ABS
warning lamp does not go out or if it comes ON while driving, it means there is a fault in the ABS system. In both
cases, the normal braking system remains efficient, exactly as on a vehicle without ABS. The vehicle should be
examined as soon as possible by an authorized Mahindra dealer.
Do not overestimate the Anti-lock Brake System: Although the Anti-lock Brake System assists in providing vehicle
control, it is still important to drive with all due care and maintain a moderate speed and safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you. There are limits to the vehicle stability and effectiveness of steering wheel operation even with
ABS active. If tyre grip performance exceeds its capability, or if hydroplaning occurs during high speed driving in the
rain, the Anti-lock Brake System will not assist with vehicle control.
8.3.1 Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Malfunction Lamp
The ABS malfunction lamp illuminates when the ignition is switched ON and goes OFF after about 3 secs. If
the ABS malfunction lamp continues to remain ON or illuminates while driving (and the brake system warning
lamp is OFF), ABS will not operate. But the brake system will still operate conventionally. In this condition, the wheels
can lock during severe braking. Have the vehicle checked by an Authorised Mahindra Dealer as soon as possible.
However, if ABS malfunction lamp and brake warning lamp are simultaneously glowing, there is a severe malfunction
in the ABS. Operate the vehicle with extreme care and have the vehicle checked as soon as possible at an
Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
8.4 Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
EBD, as a subsystem of the ABS system, controls the effective adhesion utilisation of the rear wheels. EBD aids in
distributing the brake forces more evenly leading to better vehicle stability during braking.
Typically, the front end carries more weight and EBD distributes less braking pressure to the rear brakes avoiding a
lock up/skid.
For example, under light loads EBD applies less effort to the rear brakes and for heavy loads it allows full braking
effort to the rear wheels.
A fault with EBD is indicated by illumination of the brake as well as ABS warning lamps. The vehicle should be
examined as soon as possible by an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
9 AIR-CONDITIONING & HEATING SYSTEM (if equipped)
9.1 AC System
The AC system provided in the vehicle enables occupants to manually adjust the air flow distribution pattern, air flow
rate and air temperature inside the passenger compartment. By appropriately adjusting the control knobs/switches
provided on the AC control panel, located on the center console, the occupant’s comfort can be ensured.
