Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or differences
in surface height.
The ABS warning lamp lights up when you switch ON
the ignition and should go out after a few seconds. 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 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.

EBD, as a subsystem of the ABS system, controls the effective
adhesion utilisation of the rear wheels. EBD aids in distributing the
brake forces more evenly leading to better vehicle stability during
braking.
Typically, the front end carries more weight and EBD distributes
less braking pressure to the rear brakes avoiding a lock up/skid.
For example, under light loads EBD applies less effort to the rear
brakes and for heavy loads it allows full braking effort to the rear
wheels.
A fault with EBD is indicated by illumination of the brake as well as
ABS warning lamps. The vehicle should be examined as soon as
possible by an Authorised Mahindra Dealer.
