In this reel by @j3vlogs_techinfo walks through how to turn off the Reduce Fan feature on his Mahindra eSUV — showing exactly where to find the option on the infotainment screen during an active call and how to disable it in just a few taps.
What is the Reduce Fan Feature?
When you're on a phone call, your Mahindra the XEV 9e, XEV 9S and BE 6 automatically reduces the climate control fan speed in the background. This is designed to cut down cabin noise, so your voice comes through clearer on the call. However, if you're driving in peak summer heat and need your fan running at full speed, you can simply turn this off from the infotainment system while the call is active.
Step-by-Step: How to Turn Off Reduce Fan During Calls on Mahindra XEV 9e, XEV 9S & BE 6e
Step 1: While a phone call is active, open the Menu on the infotainment screen.
Step 2: From the Menu, tap Phone.
Step 3: On the top right corner of the Phone screen, locate the Reduce Fan option.
Step 4: Tap Reduce Fan to switch it Off.
Step 5: Your climate control system will now maintain your selected fan speed for the rest of the call without any automatic reductions.
When Does This Feature Come in Handy?
- Summers & hot weather — When cabin temperature is high and you need your fan at full speed, no matter what.
- Long calls on the go — If you're on extended calls while driving and don't want the cooling to fluctuate.
- When call quality isn't a concern — Using earphones or a Bluetooth headset where fan noise doesn't affect clarity.
- Highway drives — At higher speeds, wind noise already masks fan sound, making this auto-reduction unnecessary.
