6 Safe Operations and Responsibilities
tired or ill. These effectively slow your reaction time and impair judg-
ment.
Operators must be at least 16 years of age or older,
with a valid driver's license. Children under the age of 16 may not
have the physical or psychological capability to operate the ROXOR
without risk of injury or death.
6.3 Passenger Responsibilities
The passenger must be properly seated in the passenger seat. The
passenger must be tall enough to always be properly seated: back
against the backrest with seat belt fastened and feet firmly planted
on floor. Never carry a passenger who is consuming or under the
influence of drugs or alcohol, or is tired or ill. These effectively slow
reaction time and impair judgment. Instruct the passenger to read
the vehicle’s safety labels. Never carry a passenger if you believe
their ability or judgment is insufficient to concentrate on the terrain
conditions and adapt accordingly. More specifically for off-road
vehicles such as the Mahindra ROXOR Offroad Side x Side, the pas-
senger must also pay constant attention to the terrain ahead and be
able to brace for bumps.
Only carry a maximum of one passenger, while properly
seated and safety belted in the passenger seat. Failure could result in
an un-belted passenger being ejected from the vehicle causing
severe injury or death.
6.4 Occupant Restraint System
The ROXOR is designed to carry one operator and one passenger,
both wearing proper protective gear. Refer to section
for more information. The operator and passenger must latch the
side nets or close full doors (if equipped) and wear seat belts at all
times when riding.
If driver's seat belt is not fastened when the ignition is
turned on, the seat belt indicator lamp will flash and the throttle input
will be limited.
6.5 Riding Carefully
The ROXOR handles differently from other vehicles. A collision or
rollover can occur quickly, particularly during abrupt maneuvers
such as sharp turns, hard acceleration or deceleration, and driving
on hills or over obstacles if you fail to take proper precautions.
Never operate at excessive speeds. Always go at a speed that is
proper for the terrain, visibility, and operating conditions, as well as
your experience. Never attempt jumps, side slides, donuts or any
other stunts. Never attempt rapid acceleration or deceleration when
performing a sharp turn. This may result in a roll over. Never
attempt skidding or sliding. If the vehicle starts to skid or slide,
counter steer in the direction of skidding or sliding. On extremely slip-
pery surfaces, such as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order to
reduce the chance of skidding out of control. Always be sure there
are no obstacles or people behind the vehicle when you operate in
reverse. Pay attention to blind spots. When it is safe to proceed in
