When first driving the vehicle after long periods of non-use, you may
experience a temporary drive disturbance. This is a characteristic
of the tyres and should be no reason for concern. The condition
should correct itself within 5-15 kms. of driving. If the disturbance
persists, have the tyres checked by an Authorized Mahindra Dealer.
