  • Maintenance Tips

      1. Try to drive at a steady speed between 60 and 80 km/hr.
      2. Avoid accelerating or decelerating unnecessarily.
      3. Incorrect gearshifts can lead to an increase in fuel consumption.
      4. Keeping the leg on the clutch pedal leads to increased fuel consumption as well as damages to the clutch plate
      5. Under inflated tyres increase rolling resistance - this leads to higher fuel consumption.
      6. Keep the Air conditioner in "LO" mode (if the feature is available) whenever the ambient is not very hot.
      7. Additional weight leads to increase in fuel consumption - Remove all unnecessary weights like golf equipment etc when not required.
      8. For best fuel economy, use the recommended grade of engine oil & lubricants mentioned in the owner's manual.
      9. While at traffic signals, switch off the engine - A micro-hybrid equipped variant will do it automatically for you.

  • Safety Tips

      1. Safety starts with buckling the seat belt.
      2. Ensure all the passengers including the rear seat passengers are wearing the seat belt.
      3. We recommend that you use only genuine parts supplied by Mahindra & Mahindra.
      4. Always align top of the head restraint with the top of your head or as close to it as possible.
      5. Never use a mobile phone or personal music device while driving. This may take your focus off the road and lead to accidents.
      6. Do all preventive maintenance of your vehicle and stick to the maintenance schedule.

  • Driving Tips

      1. Always maintain speed limits & avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration.
      2. Never use the clutch pedal as a foot rest - it leads to premature wear of the clutch plates.
      3. Keep a safe distance from the car ahead of you.

  • Air-conditioning Tips

      1. For best AC effectiveness, use Recirculation mode.
      2. Try to park your car in shade.

      4. Clean the AC filter(s) at regular intervals.
