Caution
Do not attempt to remove the
radiator cap when the engine and radiator
are hot. Serious injury could result from
scalding hot fluid & steam blown out under
pressure.
Start the engine. Add coolant to the
radiator up to the base of the filter neck.
If you do not have the proper coolant
mixture available, you may add plain water.
Remember to have the cooling system
drained and refilled with the proper mixture
as soon as you can. Put the radiator cap
back on tightly. Run the engine and watch
the temperature gauge. If it goes back to
the red mark, the engine needs servicing.
If the temperature stays normal, check the
coolant level in the radiator and reserve
tank. If it has gone down, add coolant to
the MAX mark. Put the cap back on tightly.
• After the engine coolant temperature
has come to normal, again cheek the
coolant level in the reservoir, if required,
add the coolant to the maximum mark.
Heavy coolant lose indicates a leak in
the system. Have the vehicle checked
at a Mahindra Authorised dealer at the
earliest.
If the temperature gauge stays at the
extreme right end, turn off the engine.
Wait until you see no more signs of steam
or spray, and then open the bonnet. Let the
engine cool down until the pointer reaches
the middle of the temperature gauge, or
lower, before checking the radiator. Using
gloves or a heavy cloth, turn the radiator
cap anti-clockwise, without pushing
down, to the first stop. This releases any
remaining pressure in the cooling system.
After the pressure is released, push down
on the cap and turn it until it comes off.
Caution
Wherever the engine is overheated,
safely pull to the side of the road. Put the
transmission in neutral and set the parking
brake. Turn off the air-conditioning system
and all other accessories. Turn on the
hazard warning indicators.
