functioning. Make sure the engine hood secondary latch secures
the hood from opening when the primary latch is released.

12.9 Battery
Your vehicle is equipped with a Mahindra genuine battery. For
longer, trouble-free operation, keep the top of the battery clean and
dry. Also, make certain the battery cables are always tightly
fastened to the battery terminals.
If you see any corrosion on the battery or terminals, remove the
cables from the terminals and clean with a wire brush. To prevent
corrosion, apply petroleum jelly to the battery terminals. Tighten
loose terminals and hold down clamp nuts only enough to keep the
battery firmly in place. Tightening excessively may damage the
battery terminals.
