Driving Tips
  • On bad surfaces reduce your driving speed and drive cautiously
  • Don't jam the brakes on wet surfaces, on un-metalled or slippery roads
  • While going down the slopes, don't proceed in the neutral gear. You may reduce the speed by releasing the accelerator. Make the deceleration easier by using the brakes, but don't apply brakes too long to avoid dangerous overheating - which in turn reduces efficiency of the brakes. Change to a lower gear, to increase the engine braking effects
  • To get rapid pick-up while overtaking, engage a lower gear in order to have the necessary power at once
  • Don't engage the lower gear with the engine at high r.p.m. in order to avoid the wear and tear due to out-of-revolution
  • Please don't exceed the specified carrying capacity so as to avoid vehicle over-turning while negotiating corners
  • Before taking a curve, gently release the accelerator and if required, change into lower gear
  • While travelling on inclines, change into a lower gear to get the required pick-up
  • Don't press the accelerator when clutch is pressed down - this drastically reduces the clutch life
 
Note: Adjustments, repairs, if necessary, must be entrusted to the Mahindra authorized service stations only.
