In case of a brake down, hazards would be turned on automatically
to indicate oncoming traffic. This feature will come into action upon
opening the bonnet when vehicle speed is less than 5 kmph.

The Anti-lock Brake System (also called as ABS) is designed to help
prevent lock-up of the wheels and stable stopping of vehicle during a
sudden, panic emergency braking or braking on slippery road
surfaces. The ABS system takes input from wheel speed sensors
and brake pedal switch to control the brake fluid pressures at the
wheels to avoid wheel lock-up. It allows vehicle to be steered during
braking.
The minimum speed for ABS to function is 12 kmph. ABS is
activated only during wheel lock conditions where ABS takes over
and prevents wheel lock.
During the ABS operation, a slight pulsation may be felt in the brake
pedal to indicate ABS is active. You may also hear motor noise from
the engine compartment. It is recommended to hold the brake
pedal firmly while the ABS is active rather than pumping the brake
pedal.
Depressing the brake pedal on slippery road surfaces as on a
manhole cover, a steel plate at a construction site, a joint in a
bridge, etc. on a rainy day, tends to activate the anti-lock brake
system.
The ABS warning lamp lights up when you switch ON
the ignition and should go out after a few secs. If the
ABS warning lamp does not go out or if it comes ON
while driving, it means there is a fault in the ABS system. In both
cases, the normal braking system remains efficient, exactly as on a
vehicle without ABS. The vehicle should be examined as soon as
possible by an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
The ABS is not designed to shorten the stopping distance: Always
drive at a moderate speed and maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you. The stopping distance may be longer in the
following cases:
• Driving on rough, gravel or snow-covered roads
• Driving with tyre chains installed
