• If the exhaust system is damaged for any reason or you notice a
change in the exhaust noise, have the vehicle checked by an
Authorized Mahindra Dealer immediately.
• Do not start the vehicle in a closed garage or in an enclosed
area where ventilation is poor for the exhaust gases.
• Since the engine compartment and exhaust system components
are hot and can ignite a fire, do not park or leave the vehicle with
the engine idling over dry grass, leaves, paper, rags or any
combustible material.
Never keep the engine running when the vehicle is parked in an
area which is not properly ventilated. This could lead to serious
respiratory problems and/or death.
11.5 Driving Your Vehicle
11.5.1 General Driving Precautions
Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of
accidents leading to serious personal injury or damage to your
vehicle.
• Before you drive your vehicle, please read this manual carefully.
• Before you start driving, check proper operation of the brakes
and steering system.
• If, while driving, you hear any strange noise or feel unusual
vibration, or if you have any concerns whatsoever, or if any
warning lamps illuminate or buzzers sound, park/stop the
vehicle in a safe location as soon as possible. Identify the cause
and take any necessary remedial action. Contact your Authorized
Mahindra Dealer if necessary.
• Never overload or improperly load your vehicle.
• Always be attentive while driving and follow safe driving
practices.
• Always maintain the recommended inflation pressure in tires.
• Always drive at a safe speed appropriate for given driving
conditions. You must follow the speed limits.
• While backing up, keep a constant lookout for people, particularly
children, or other obstructions or hazardous material that might
be present behind the vehicle.
• Avoid loading any items on the roof that will raise the vehicles
center of gravity and make your vehicle more unstable.
• Loaded vehicles, with a higher center of gravity, may handle
differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such as
slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken
when driving a heavily loaded vehicle.
