Stopping The Engine; Manual Transmission - Mahindra 2016 KUV100 K2 Owner's Manual

11.4.1 Engine Idling - In Cold Weather
Avoid full throttle operation when the engine is cold and prolonged
idling at low ambient temperatures. Long periods of idling may be
harmful to your engine. Combustion chamber temperatures can
drop so low that the fuel may not burn completely. Incomplete
combustion allows carbon and varnish to form on piston rings and
injector nozzles. Also, the unburned fuel can enter the crankcase,
diluting the oil and causing rapid wear to the engine.

11.5 Stopping the Engine

Before turning the engine OFF, always allow the engine to return to
normal idle speed and run for few seconds. This assures proper
cooling and lubrication of the turbocharger. This is particularly
necessary after any hard driving.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, before leaving the vehicle
turn OFF the engine and leaving the vehicle, always,
• Keep your right foot on the service brake pedal
• Turn front wheels towards the road curb
• Switch OFF the ignition, turn the key to the steering lock position
and remove the key
• Firmly engage the parking brake

• Move the gear shift lever to 1st gear position (reverse gear if
parking on an incline)
• Slowly release the service brake pedal
• Lock your vehicle when leaving
11.5.1 Over Speed Warning
When the vehicle crosses the preset speed value, buzzer alert will
be audible for 4 seconds.

11.6 Manual Transmission

The first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat notchy. This
is a normal phenomenon, and smooth shifts will develop within the
initial few hundred kilometers of running.
11.6.1 Gear Shift Lever
The gear shift lever shifts the transmission into various gears. The
gearshift pattern is shown on the gear lever knob. The clutch pedal
should be depressed fully while shifting, and then released slowly.
