7.4.11 If RKE is Lost
If you have lost the programmed RKE, contact an Authorized
Mahindra Dealer for procuring a new RKE.
While programming a new key set, you will have to submit all the
keys available with you to an Authorized Mahindra Dealer.
There is a limitation (max 2 keys at a time) to the number of
keys that can be programmed. The minimum time frame
required to supply the duplicate keys is 20 days after all the
formalities are completed. Please contact the dealer to
understand the formalities involved.
If the key is stolen or lost, communicate to an Authorized
Mahindra Dealer to de-activate the function of the lost or stolen
key. This is essential to avoid unauthorized access using the
misplaced key.
Only RKE transmitters programmed to your vehicle electronics
can be used for remote locking and unlocking of your vehicle.
7.4.12 Precautions while Handling RKE:
•
Do not cover the key grip with any material that cuts off RF
waves
•
Do not leave the key exposed to high temperatures for a long
period, such as on the dashboard or hood under direct sunlight
•
Do not put the key in any liquid or wash it in an ultrasonic washer
7.5 Engine Immobilizer System
The Engine Immobilizer System is a security system that prevents
the vehicle being operated by an unauthorized person. The Engine
immobilizer prevents the engine from being started unless it
recognizes signals from the correct coded key.
The system is automatically activated when the key is removed
from the ignition.
In order to safeguard the theft protection system of the vehicle,
Mahindra will not supply EMS ECU (Engine Management
System - Electronic Control Unit), vehicle keys and the ICU as a
set for any vehicle.
7.5.1 Features of the Immobilizer System
•
Prevents the vehicle being started by anyone not in possession
of the correct vehicle key
•
The vehicle is automatically protected after the key is removed
from the ignition. At every ignition ON, if the vehicle does not
recognize the correct key code, the engine check lamp will
illuminate/blink and the engine cannot be started
