should be examined as soon as possible by an authorized Mahindra
dealer.
Do not overestimate the Anti-lock Brake System: Although the
Anti-lock Brake System assists in providing vehicle control, it is
still important to drive with all due care and maintain a
moderate speed and safe distance from the vehicle in front of
you. There are limits to the vehicle stability and effectiveness of
steering wheel operation even with ABS active. If tyre grip
performance exceeds its capability, or if hydroplaning occurs
during high speed driving in the rain, the Anti-lock Brake System
will not assist with vehicle control.
9.5.1 Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) (if
equipped)
EBD, as a subsystem of the ABS system, ensures optimum brake
force distribution to rear wheels. EBD aids in distributing the brake
forces more evenly leading to better vehicle stability during braking.
The EBD warning lamp lights up when you switch on
the ignition: it should go out after a few seconds. If
the EBD warning lamp does not go out or comes ON
during driving, it means that there is a fault in the
EBD system. The vehicle should be examined as soon
as possible by an authorized Mahindra dealer.
If EBD warning lamp is ON, be extremely cautious while driving.
Even during normal braking the wheels of your vehicle can lock-
up. Contact an authorized Mahindra dealer immediately.
