Four Wheel Drive (4Wd) System (If Equipped) - Mahindra 2016 Scorpio Owner's Manual

STARTING AND DRIVING THE VEHICLE
Determine the exit point(s) that are downstream of your entry point
to compensate for drifting.
11.6.5 After Driving Off-road or through Water
Off-road operation puts more stress on your vehicle than does most
on-road driving. Always perform a maintenance inspection after
each day of off-road driving that has taken you through rough
terrain, sand, mud, or water.
• After going off-road, it is always a good idea to check for damage.
Completely inspect the underbody of the vehicle for any
damages.
• Check for accumulations of plants or bushes. These could be a
fire hazard. They might also hide damage to fuel lines, brake
tubes/hoses, etc.
• Inspect all the tubes/hoses and check for any fluid leakages.
• Get heat exchangers (radiator and condenser) cleaned.
• Check threaded fasteners for looseness, particularly on the
chassis, drive train components, steering, suspension and
brakes. Retighten them, if required, and torque to the values
specified in the 'Repair Manual'.
Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may cause
excessive wear or unpredictable braking. You might not have
11-10
full braking power when needed leading to accidents. If you have
been operating the vehicle in off-road conditions, get the brakes
checked and cleaned as necessary.
• If any unusual vibration is experienced, check the wheels for
impacted material. Impacted material can cause a wheel
imbalance. Get it inspected/corrected as soon as possible.
• After driving through deep water, inspect your vehicle fluids and
lubricants (engine oil, transmission/transfer case/axle oils) to
ensure the fluids have not been contaminated.
