Mahindra Scorpio-N: 5 hidden features I noticed as an owner

Internal and external lights go off after a few minutes of locking the car.

BHPian JoseTheScorpion recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

So, in the past 10 months of ownership of my white Hornet(Scorpio-n Z2), I wanted to share my special findings. I would say these are kind of hidden or unknown features which most Scorpio-N owners might miss, so I am hoping this will be helpful.

All details of my ownership are here.

1. Safety features on ignition system
   • Engine will not start, if the car is in gear. It will start only if the car is in Neutral or clutch is pressed.
   • Key will not crank if the engine is already running.
2. Bonnet open - automatic Hazard lights
   • As soon as you open the bonnet the hazard lights will come on automatically.
   • It helps in cases where we forget to switch it on, while stranded on highway or road.
3. Operate power windows without key
   • The power windows work even after a few minutes, of taking the key out of the ignition lock cylinder.
4. Intelligent car AC system
   • AC automatically comes on, while moving the thermostat to cold.
   • When defogger vent is switched, the air intake moves to outside air automatically.
5. Child Safety - door, window, airbag
   • Child lock knob available on rear doors and boot door.
   • Child window lock available in Z2(base) model as well
   • If a child below 6 years sits in the front seat, please disable the passenger airbag.
6. Auto electronics cut off on car lock
   • Internal and external lights go off after a few minutes of locking the car.
   • This save the car's battery from going dead.
7. Third row fold - lock in place
   • There is a hook to hold the folded third row in place. Many Scorpio-N owners complain that the third row fold opens and falls on items kept in the boot.

Its difficult to explain in detail, so I have made a video for the same. Hope this is informative and helpful to not only Scorpio-N owners but also to every car owner keeping safety on top priority.
