8.35 Warning Lamps in the Instrument Cluster

8.35.1 Malfunction (OBD) Lamp
The Malfunction (OBD) Lamp illuminates when the ignition is
switched ON and remains ON till the engine has started indicating
normal status. If the lamp remains ON, it indicates a potential
engine malfunction.
There may be a malfunction in:
• The fuel management system
• The emission control system
• Systems which affect emissions
Such malfunctions may result in excessive emissions. Contact an Authorized
Mahindra Dealer immediately.
8.35.2 Check Engine Lamp
The check engine lamp illuminates when the ignition is switched
ON and goes out in 3 seconds indicating normal status. The lamp
blinks or illuminates continuously if there is a fault in the engine
management system. Contact the nearest Mahindra Dealer for
the necessary repairs.
8.35.3 Security Lamp
Once the ignition is turned OFF, the security lamp will blink at a fast
rate frequency indicating the vehicle is secured against
unauthorized start of engine. When the vehicle is locked using
RKE, security lamp will blink at a slow rate frequency which will
indicate that antitheft system is armed and unauthorized door entry to the vehicle
will trigger alarm.
At ignition ON, the security lamp blinking continuously indicates a malfunction in the
engine immobilizer system. Contact an Authorized Mahindra Dealer immediately.

8.35.4 Parking Brake/Low Brake Fluid Lamp
The lamp illuminates when the parking brake is engaged or when
the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low. If the lamp illuminates
while driving, do the following:
• Check if the parking brake is engaged. If yes, disengage it
• Check if the brake fluid level is low. If yes, top-up brake fluid (DOT 4) to the required
level
If the brake lamp still continues to illuminate, immediately get the vehicle checked at
an Authorized Mahindra Dealer.
Clean the top of the brake fluid reservoir before removing the cap. Make sure
no dirt, impurities or other items fall into the reservoir. Do not leave the cap off
for more than a few minutes. Any contaminants, impurities or moisture in the
brake fluid can affect brake operation, resulting in an accident.
If the brake warning lamp comes ON while driving, the brake system might not
be working properly. The pedal might be harder to operate or might go closer
to the floor and it can take longer to stop. Pull off the road carefully and stop
the vehicle. Contact the nearest Authorized Mahindra Dealer for checks or
repairs.
Driving the vehicle with the brake warning lamp ON or when you suspect brake
trouble is very dangerous and could result in serious injuries. Contact an
Authorized Mahindra Dealer for checks or repairs.
8.35.5 Turn Lamps
The turn lamp arrows in the instrument cluster flash showing the
direction indicated by the turn signals. A sudden increase in the
rate of flashing indicates failure of one or more of the lamp bulbs.
Have them replaced as soon as possible.
