In some driving conditions, to maximise traction, it may be beneficial
to de-activate ESP.
Such conditions are:
•
To start in deep snow or on a loose surface
•
Driving in deep sand
•
Driving through deep mud etc.
To de-activate ESP, press ESP OFF button on the
central bezel switch bank. Once ESP OFF mode is
selected, a warning indicator illuminates in the
instrument cluster.
Press ESP OFF button again to activate ESP function.
Mahindra recommends that ESP be operational in all normal
driving conditions.
When ESP is in OFF mode, other functions like HHC (Hill Hold
Control), HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist), HDC (Hill Descent
Control), DTC (Drag Torque Control), ROM (Roll Over Mitigation)
will be in working mode.
However, for safety reasons, if the ESP system detects that the
vehicle is going into a unstable condition, ESP will be
automatically activated on depressing the brake pedal
ESP, by default, will be in ON condition for every ignition cycle.
If the ESP indicator blinks while driving, it indicates
that ESP is working. If this indicator illuminates
continuously, it indicates a malfunction in the ESP
system. Drive carefully to the nearest Authorised Mahindra Dealer
and get the ESP system checked.

To prevent the engine from labouring at a low RPM when driving
uphill gradients or with your vehicle heavily loaded, downshift when
necessary to maintain engine RPM within the best torque range.
Similarly, while driving downhill, downshift to utilise the engine
braking in an optimum manner.
