Fuel - Mahidra TUV 300 Owner's Manual

STARTING AND DRIVING THE VEHICLE
• Check threaded fasteners for looseness, particularly on the
chassis, drive train components, steering, suspension and
brakes. Retighten them, if required, and torque to the values
specified in the 'Repair Manual'.
Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may cause
excessive wear or unpredictable braking. You might not have
full braking power when needed leading to accidents. If you have
been operating the vehicle in off-road conditions, get the brakes
checked and cleaned as necessary.
• If any unusual vibration is experienced, check the wheels for
impacted material. Impacted material can cause a wheel
imbalance. Get it inspected/corrected as soon as possible.
• After driving through deep water, inspect your vehicle fluids and
lubricants (engine oil, transmission/transfer case/axle oils) to
ensure the fluids have not been contaminated.
