Do not connect battery terminals with opposite polarity, it will lead to alternator failure
Towing a vehicle to start could be dangerous. The vehicle being towed could surge forward when the engine starts,
causing the tow vehicles to collide, injuring the occupants.
Modern vehicles with electronic management systems should not be jump started without ‘protected’ jump starter
leads. It is necessary to refer to the owner's handbook for jump starting procedures for such vehicles.
12.5 Limp Home Mode
Limp home mode is an emergency situation declared by the EMS (Engine Management System) due to failure of
one/more critical sensors/actuators. In this mode, the EMS (Engine Management System) will revert back to basic
minimum requirement (fuel quantity / injection timings) to aid the driver to bring the vehicle back to the nearest
workshop. Needless to say the drivability & fuel consumption will be greatly affected.
If vehicle acceleration worsens or if there is a drop in vehicle performance, there might be a malfunction in the
engine management system which triggers/activates the Limp Home Mode. This condition is accompanied by the
check engine lamp illuminating in the instrument cluster. In this mode, the vehicle speed is limited and the
accelerator pedal may not function normally. It is recommended you contact an Authorized Mahindra Dealer
immediately for assistance.
12.6 Towing
12.6.1 Towing Equipment
Towing equipment are of two types.
•
Flat-bed equipment - Your vehicle is loaded on the back of a truck. This is the safest and best way of towing.
•
Wheel-lift equipment - The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the tires (front or rear) and lift them off the
ground. The other two tires remain on the ground.
•
Sling-type equipment - The tow truck uses metal cables with hooks on both ends. These hooks go around parts of
the frame or suspension and lift the end of the vehicle off the ground. This is not a good method of towing as it may
damage the vehicle's suspension and body. Avoid a tow with sling type equipment
