CAUTION
Loosely connected battery cables could damage the
electronic control units.
CAUTION
!
To disconnect battery terminals wait for at least 2
minutes to allow discharge of high voltage or it could
lead to personal injury.
While disconnecting, always disconnect the -VE
terminal first and while connecting, always connect
the -VE terminal last.
CAUTION
!
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.
CAUTION
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
Limp Home Mode
Limp home mode is an emergency situation declared by the
EMS due to failure of one/more critical sensors/actuators. In
this mode, the EMS 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.
NOTICE
Limp home mode 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.
The limp home mode can be erased, only after rectifying the
problem
