SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if equipped)
However, side impact and curtain air bags may inflate only when
severe side impact causes rollover.
•
Frontal Side Swipe Impact -
Frontal offset impact to the vehicle may not provide the
deceleration force necessary for airbag deployment. In an angled
collision, the force of impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would not be able to provide any
additional benefit, and thus the sensors may not deploy any air
bags.

6.9 Airbag Replacement

Self-servicing or tampering with the airbag system is dangerous. An
airbag could accidentally deploy causing serious injuries, or will not
deploy when there is a need. Always take your vehicle to an
authorized Mahindra dealer for inspection and repairs.

6.10 Self Removing SRS Related Parts

Self removing the instrument panel, steering wheel, seats or airbag
related parts or sensors is not recommended. Airbags could
accidentally activate and cause serious injuries, or they may not
deploy when there is a need. Visit an authorized Mahindra dealer if
these parts must be removed.

6.11 Airbag Disposal

Improper disposal of an airbag or a vehicle with live airbags can be
extremely dangerous. Approach an authorized Mahindra dealer to
do these jobs.

6.12 Airbag Repair

If the front airbag cover or IP airbag cover shows signs of damage
or having been removed, the vehicle should be towed to the nearest
authorized Mahindra dealer for repair. Do not attempt to self repair
or reinstall the cover.

6.13 Airbag Maintenance

For cleaning the airbag covers/areas, use only a soft dry cloth or
one which has been moistened with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
