If the needle in the temperature gauge in the instrument cluster is
all the way up to the H and/or the high engine coolant temperature
warning lamp is ON, your engine has overheated.
If the engine is getting overheated, the Engine Management System
reduces engine power substantially and may even shut the engine
OFF; it is dangerous to continue driving when the engine has
overheated. You need to first cool the engine down before starting
to drive again.
Follow the below instructions to cool the engine down
•
Progressively reduce the vehicle speed and bring the vehicle to a
stop at the side of the road
•
Turn ON the hazard warning flashers
•
Keep the engine running at idle
•
Engage the parking brake
•
Switch off the air conditioner
•
Wait till the engine coolant temperature drops sufficiently such
that the needle in the temperature gauge is around halfway
between C and H
Now switch the engine OFF and carefully open the bonnet/hood to
visibly inspect the engine cooling system parts. Be cautious while
doing an inspection as vehicle parts will still be too hot. Verify that
the engine coolant level in the coolant recovery tank is maintained
between the 'Min' and 'Max' mark. Check for possible fluid leakages.
Check for damages to heat exchangers and connecting hoses. Also
verify that the radiator shrouds, engine fan blades and the engine
belt all are in good condition.
If any evidence of failure is observed, contact the nearest
Authorized Mahindra Dealer for help. In case, no system leakage/
failure is suspected, driving can be continued.
Either due to severe operating conditions or due to any system
leakages or failures, the engine can get overheated. However if the
engine is getting overheated repeatedly, even in normal operating
conditions, get the vehicle checked by an Authorized Mahindra
Dealer as soon as possible.
Refer to the 'High Engine Coolant Temperature' section under
the 'Features and Control' chapter for details.
If the high engine coolant temperature warning is ignored, the
engine shuts OFF abruptly to safeguard engine components
from overheating and consequent failure. Abrupt engine shut-
off can lead to uncontrollable driving condition and accidents.
Stay clear of hot and rotating vehicle parts while visually
inspecting the vehicle. The coolant inside the cooling system is
under high pressure and temperature. Never open the
