• Remove light stains and soil with carpet and upholstery cleaner
• If grease or tar is present on the material, spot-clean the area first with a stain
remover
• Do not use household cleaning products or glass cleaners, which can stain and
discolor the fabric and affect the flame retardant abilities of the seat materials
• Do not use cleaning solvents, bleach or dye on the vehicle's safety belts, as these
actions may weaken the belt webbing.
13.10.10 Leather Seats (where applicable)
Your leather seating surfaces have a clear, protective coating over the leather.
• To clean, use a soft cloth with a leather and vinyl cleaner. Dry the area with a soft
cloth
• To help maintain its resiliency and color, use the leather care kit, available from an
Authorized Mahindra Dealer
• Do not use household cleaning products, alcohol solutions, solvents or cleaners
intended
for rubber, vinyl and plastics, or oil/petroleum-based leather
conditioners. These products may cause premature wearing of the clear,
protective coating
In some instances, a color or dye transfer can occur when wet clothing comes
in contact with leather upholstery. If this occurs, clean the leather immediately
to avoid permanent staining.
13.10.11 Underbody
Flush the complete underside of your vehicle frequently. Keep body and door drain
holes free from packed dirt. You can also use an anti-corrosion spray for the
underbody to avoid rusting and corrosion especially for vehicles in coastal places.
13.11 Air Conditioning System Maintenance
Your vehicle's air-conditioning is a sealed system. Any major maintenance, such as
recharging should be done by a qualified technician. However, you can do a few
things by yourself to make sure the air conditioning works efficiently.
Run the air-conditioning system at least once a week, even during the cold weather
months. Run it for at least ten minutes with the engine running at normal operating
temperature. This circulates the lubricating oil contained in the refrigerant.
Whenever you get the air-conditioning system serviced, make sure the service
facility uses a refrigerant recycling system. This system captures the
refrigerant for re-use. Releasing the refrigerant into the atmosphere may
cause damage to the environment.
13.12 Vehicle Storage
If you are leaving your vehicle for more than 2 weeks you may want to take stopping
to protect your battery. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Anytime you
store your vehicle, or keep it out of service (i.e. vacation) for two weeks or more, run
the air conditioning system at idle for about five minutes in the fresh air mode and
high blower speed setting. This will ensure adequate system lubrication to minimize
the possibility of compressor damage when the system is started again.
It is recommended storing the vehicle in a covered, clean, dry, well leveled, ventilated
and closed place.
