Your vehicle is equipped with an Electric power steering system
(EPS). There is no fluid reservoir to check or fill. EPS uses energy
from the battery to decrease the driver's effort in steering the
vehicle. The EPS system will give you good vehicle response and
increased ease of manoeuvrability in tight spaces. If for some
reason the power assist is interrupted, it will provide mechanical
steering capability to steer the vehicle. Under these conditions, you
will observe a substantial increase in steering effort.
When driving in rough/off roads, hold the steering wheel rim,
do not hold the wheel spokes. A sudden bump can jerk/turn
the wheel and injure your hand. This may also lead to loss of
vehicle control.
The EPS warning light should only be illuminated with the
ignition ON before starting the engine.
If the warning light remains illuminated after the engine has
been started, there will be no assistance from power steering.
The vehicle may be driven using the mechanical steering
system although it is not recommended as the effort to turn
the steering wheel will be significantly high. In this case, contact
an Authorised Mahindra Dealer immediately.
Keep both hands on the steering wheel, with the thumbs
resting on the outer wheel rim.
To help prevent damage to the power steering motor:
•
Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme right or the
extreme left for more than a few secs. when the engine is
running
If the Electric power steering system breaks down (or if the
engine is turned OFF), you can still steer the vehicle manually,
but it takes more effort.
