When the Vehicle Overheats
• Pull over and stop the vehicle in a safe area. Then shift the gear
selector lever to the P position and apply the parking brake
• Turn off the air conditioner or heater if used. Open the engine
hood and idle the engine until it cools down
• If you see steam under the hood, stop the engine immediately; If
there is no steam, open the hood and leave the engine running in
idling speed
• However, if the gauge doesn't go down to the normal range even
in idling, stop the engine and cool it down
• Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If it is too low, check for
leaks in the radiator hoses and connections
• Add coolant into the reservoir if necessary
• If necessary, cover the reservoir cap with a cloth and turn the
cap a little to release any pressure. After fully releasing the
pressure, remove the cap and fill up the reservoir. Then, put the
cap back on the reservoir
• If the coolant level is normal, have the cooling system checked by
a Mahindra Dealer or Mahindra Authorised Service Center
