If engine speed does not increase when the accelerator pedal

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.
Vehicle Overheating
If the LED’s of the temperature gauge 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.

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.

cle to a stop at the side of the road
