• 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 or the EBD system (if equipped) 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.
When there is a EBD failure, the parking brake lamp illuminates
along with the ABS warning lamp.
