sudden stop or collision. Store all of these items in the proper place.
Lifting a vehicle to change a tyre or perform maintenance is very
dangerous if you do not have the requisite tools, safety equipment
and training.
The jack provided along with the vehicle is to be used only for
changing a spare tyre. It is never to be used to perform any other
maintenance or repair on the vehicle.
The following sections outline the procedure for changing a flat tyre: Have all passengers get out of the vehicle and stay away from the
traffic. When your safety is secured, contact your Authorised
Mahindra dealer for your emergency service

The spare tyre is only for emergency situations. Never use it for
normal driving. After installing the spare tyre on a wheel, take
your vehicle to a Mahindra Authorised Service Centre or a tyre-
specialised shop to replace it with a new regular tyre.
Follow the reverse procedure to re– locate the flat tyre to the spare
wheel bracket.

loosen them by one or two turns.

Always loosen the wheel bolts before raising the vehicle. Turn the

To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle end along with the wheel
spanner into the jack and turn it clockwise with the jack handle. As
the jack touches the vehicle and begins to lift, check that it is
properly positioned. Raise it high enough so that the spare tyre can
be installed. Remember, you will need more ground clearance when
putting on the spare tyre than when removing the flat tyre.
Make sure to instal the jack so that its upper plate is correctly
seated under the vehicle’s positions marked in the figure for the
flat tyre side.
2.10.1 Jacking
Position the jack at the correct jacking point. Make sure the jack is
positioned on a level and solid ground. Ensure no one is in the
vehicle.

Put the wheel cap (if equipped) into position aligning the nozzle on

Check the air pressure of the replaced tyre. If the pressure is lower
than recommended, drive slowly to the nearest service station and
inflate to the correct pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is
correct. Always reinstal the valve cap after checking or adjusting
tyre pressure. If the cap is not replaced, dirt and moisture could get
into the valve core and cause air leakage. If you lose a valve cap, buy
another and instal it as soon as possible.

• Vehicle should have been stopped by the ESS system
• The ‘ESS’ lamp will illuminate in the instrument cluster indicating

For auto stop to happen, the following major conditions are to be
met:
• ESS system is activated using the selection switch

• Bonnet is fully closed reaches a minimum operating range.
• Fuel and Engine coolant temperature should be within the limits
• In the current ignition cycle, the vehicle has crossed 2 kmph at
least once
