Stopping Engine / Limp Home Mode

During Stopping the engine
'Before switching off the engine, run the
engine on idle for at least 20 seconds
and then switch off. This is to ensure that
turbocharger speed is minimum when
switching off the engine'.

the engine to idle. Turn the key to OFF
position.

60
Caution
Abruptly stopping the engine after a
long journey may damage the engine. Idle
the engine for some time before switching
it OFF.
Limp Home Mode
Limp home mode is an emergency situation
declared by the EMS due to failure of one/
more critical sensors / actuators. In this
mode, the EMS will revert back to basic
minimum requirement (fuel quantity /
injection timings) to aid the driver to bring
back the vehicle to the nearest workshop / a
safe place. Needless to say the drivability &
fuel consumption will be greatly affected.
Driving the vehicle to the Mahindra
Authorised dealer in the Limp home Mode:
• Follow the engine starting instructions
as mentioned in the previous page
• During the normal condition, the engine
check lamp glows and dies down. This
will take approximately 5 seconds
• If the lamp on the instrument panel
blinks, it means your vehicle has shifted
to the limp home mode
• In the limp home mode, the engine
speed fluctuates at 1200 rpm approx,
and you will not be able to use the
accelerator control. But this mode
enables you to drive your vehicle to the
nearest Mahindra Authorised Dealer.
• The limp home mode can be erased,
only after rectifying the problem.
Note
If the engine does not start
or stalls frequently, get the engine
checked immediately by a Mahindra
Authorised Dealer.
