Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move
cautiously off the road to a safe place. Turn ON your hazard warning
flashers and check for any malfunction lamps in the instrument
cluster. Turn the ignition OFF, wait for approximately 90 sec and try
starting the engine again. If the vehicle still does not start contact
an Authorized Mahindra Dealer.
If the engine stalls while running, the power assist for the
brakes and steering will not work. Steering and braking will be
much harder than usual.

If the engine speed does not increase when the accelerator pedal is
depressed, there may be a problem in the Engine Management
System, electrical or electronic controls. In case of certain faults,
the engine may go to limp home mode, which is indicated by the
check engine lamp. Have your vehicle checked by an Authorized
Mahindra Dealer as soon as possible.

If the temperature gauge bar in the instrument cluster is all the way
up to the H and/or the high engine coolant temperature warning
lamp is ON, your engine has overheated.
If the engine is getting overheated, the Engine Management System
reduces engine power substantially and may even shut the engine
OFF; it is dangerous to continue driving when the engine has
overheated. You need to first cool the engine down before starting
to drive again.
Follow the below instructions to cool the engine down
Progressively reduce the vehicle speed and bring the vehicle to a
stop at the side of the road
Turn ON the hazard warning flashers
Keep the engine running at idle
Engage the parking brake
Switch off the air conditioner
Wait till the engine coolant temperature drops sufficiently such
that the needle in the temperature gauge is around halfway
between C and H
Now switch the engine OFF and carefully open the bonnet/hood to
visually inspect the engine cooling system parts. Be cautious while
doing an inspection as vehicle parts will still be too hot. Verify that
the engine coolant level in the coolant recovery tank is maintained
