Jump Starting - Mahidra TUV 300 Owner's Manual

• Wait till the engine coolant temperature drops sufficiently such
that the needle in the temperature gauge is around halfway
between C and H
Now switch the engine OFF and carefully open the bonnet/hood to
visibly inspect the engine cooling system parts. Be cautious while
doing an inspection as vehicle parts will still be too hot. Verify that
the engine coolant level in the coolant recovery tank is maintained
between the 'Min' and 'Max' mark. Check for possible fluid leakages.
Check for damages to heat exchangers and connecting hoses. Also
verify that the radiator shrouds, engine fan blades and the engine
belt all are in good condition.
If any evidence of failure is observed, contact the nearest
Authorized Mahindra Dealer for help. In case, no system leakage/
failure is suspected, driving can be continued.
Either due to severe operating conditions or due to any system
leakages or failures, the engine can get overheated. However if the
engine is getting overheated repeatedly, even in normal operating
conditions, get the vehicle checked by an Authorized Mahindra
Dealer as soon as possible.
Refer to the 'High Engine Coolant Temperature' section under
the 'Features and Control' chapter for details.

If the high engine coolant temperature warning is ignored, the
engine shuts OFF abruptly to safeguard engine components
from overheating and consequent failure. Abrupt engine shut-
off can lead to uncontrollable driving condition and accidents.
Stay clear of hot and rotating vehicle parts while visually
inspecting the vehicle. The coolant inside the cooling system is
under high pressure and temperature. Never open the
pressure cap of the degassing tank when the engine is hot. Not
taking precautions may lead to serious injury to your skin/eyes.
For optimum performance of the cooling system you must
maintain the required coolant level and use only recommended
engine coolant.

If your vehicle's battery has run down, you may be able to start the
engine by using a standalone booster battery or a vehicle with a
good condition battery.
But before going ahead with this procedure ensure that the battery
is the cause of vehicle not starting. To confirm this, few simple tests
can be conducted as follows;;
