The system can control the number of air bags deployed and partially or fully inflate the
BEFORE YOU DRIVECCUPANT SAFETYcollision to provide the best possible protection to the vehicle occupants. The system uses sensors to rapidly evaluate the collision severity, the number of vehicle occupants, each occupant!s weight, their physical size and their seated position in relation to their air bags. Once all these factors are known the system will then deploy the necessary air bags and regulate the inflation pressure in the impact zone to ensure the occupant!s safety.After an accident the air bags begin to depressurise almost immediately after the inflation process has taken place. The gas used to inflate the air bags escapes through vents in the air bag and this helps reduce the occurrence of major impact injuries to the occupants.An air bag slows down and restricts the movement of the vehicle occupant reducing the load on the body, but is not a substitute for a correctly worn seat belt.WARNING: If the air bags are deployed, a bang will be heard and a small amount of fine powder may be released.

DRIVING CONTROLSRIVING SAFETY SYSTEMSTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)each tire should be checked when cold and inflated/deflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper inflation pressure for those tires).In certain circumstances it is possible that the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) pressure warning will display without the loss of air from the tire. This may be due to temperature variations between the locations where the tire pressure was set and where the vehicle is driven. For example setting pressures in an air conditioned or heated garage and then driving the vehicle outside may induce a tire pressure warning after a short period of driving. The warning may also display when extreme ambient temperature variations occur or during seasonal temperature changes.WARNING: Never ignore a tire pressure warning. Check tire pressures immediately and if necessary contact your McLaren retailer. you when the pressure drops or the temperature increases above an acceptable level in one or more of the tires.The system monitors the tire pressures and temperatures in each wheel using sensors located in each tire valve and a receiver located within the vehicle. Communication between the sensors and the receiver is via Radio Frequency (RF) signals.NOTE: The Tire Pressure Monitoring System can suffer interference if you are operating radio transmitting equipment (e.g. radio headphones, two-way radios) in or near the vehicle.NOTE: The Tire Pressure Monitoring System will begin transmitting once the vehicle is traveling over 6mph (10kph), there will be a delay of up to 40 seconds before this information is displayed on screen.operationTire Pressure Monitoring System warning light will illuminate along with an associated error message in the left-hand display.
DRIVING CONTROLSRIVING SAFETY SYSTEMSyour tires and inflate them to the recommended pressure, see Tire pressures, page 5.35. The warning light will be extinguished once the tires have been inflated to the correct pressure.Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle!s handling and stopping ability.WARNING: TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver!s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure warning light. Each tire should be checked weekly when cold and inflated/deflated to the inflation pressure recommended on the tire inflation pressure label. Navigate through the "Vehicle Info! screen in the left-hand display to view the current tire pressures, see Vehicle Info, page 3.9.The display shows the pressures of each of the four tires. If the pressure figure appears in green, no action is required. If it appears as red text, inflate the associated tire to the correct pressure as soon as possible.Inspect the tire(s) for any possible causes of reduced tire pressure.WARNING: The tire pressures indicated in the left-hand display will be more accurate with a pressure gauge. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System is not a substitute for manually checking tire pressures or checking for wear and damage. The system only provides a low tire pressure warning and does not re-inflate the tires.The Tire Pressure Monitoring System cannot alert you to damage to a tire. Regularly check the condition of your tires.WARNING: If low pressure warnings occur frequently, have the tires checked at your McLaren Retailer. Driving on an under-inflated tire will causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.ENVIRONMENTAL: Under-inflated tires reduce fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle!s handling and braking characteristics.ENVIRONMENTAL: Check tire pressures at least every 7 days.

MAINTAINING YOUR McLARENHEELS AND TIRESWheels and tiresin axle pairs and ensure the tires are fitted as specified. With worn tires, the driving stability of the vehicle will be adversely affected, especially when driving at high speeds.Consult your McLaren Retailer if you have had new tires fitted for information on the appropriate bedding in time based on your driving style.•With new tires, avoid high speed cornering and excess speed.•Only have wheels and tires of the same type and make fitted.•Never use a tire which has been punctured and then repaired.•Only have tires of the correct size fitted.•Tires degrade over time due to the effects of ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high loads, and environmental conditions. It is recommended that tires are replaced every six years, or sooner if required.McLaren recommends that you only use Pirelli summer or winter tires, See Wheel and tire sizes, page 6.10. These tires provide the best possible performance in conjunction with the safety systems on your vehicle and have been specifically approved by McLaren.McLaren cannot accept any responsibility for damage that may result from use of other tires and wheels. Further information about wheels and tires can be obtained from your McLaren Retailer.WARNING: Using tires other than those which have been recommended by McLaren, may contact the body work and adversely affect the handling. This may cause loss of vehicle control, resulting in serious personal injury or death. Noise levels and fuel consumption may also be adversely affected. In addition, when driving with a load or when using snow traction devices, they could cause contact between the bodywork and axle components. This could result in damage to the tires or the vehicle.NOTE: Retreaded tires must not be used. Do not fit used tires if you have no information about their previous usage.NOTE: Modification to the brake system and wheels is not permitted, nor is the use of spacer plates or brake dust shields. Any such modifications will invalidate the vehicle warranty on the area modified.NOTE: A wheel change must be carried out at your McLaren Retailer. The vehicle could be damaged if it is jacked up incorrectlyNOTE: Store tires in a cool, dry place, preferably in the dark. Protect the tires from oil, grease and petrol.

The benefits of asymmetric tires will only be available if the tires are fitted correctly.punctures, tears, bumps, deformation and cracks. Check wheels for severe corrosion. Damaged wheels could cause a loss of tire pressure.Regularly check the tire tread depth and the condition of the tread across the whole width of the tire. Turn the front wheels to full lock in order to inspect the inner tread.When the tread is worn to 1.6 mm, the wear indicators appear on the surface of the tread pattern, producing a continuous band of rubber across the width of the tire. Tires must be replaced as soon as the wear indicator becomes visible, or sooner if legislation dictates replacement at a greater tread depth.NOTE: It is recommended that you always have your tires replaced by your McLaren Retailer. Each wheel has a tire pressure sensor connected to the tire valve. In order to avoid damage to the sensor, the tires must be replaced using the correct procedure. WARNING: Tire grip decreases rapidly on wet or icy roads, particularly when the tread depth is close to the minimum. You could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident due to the reduced grip of the tires. Reduce your speed and drive with greater care.NOTE: If tread wear is uneven across the tire, or becomes excessive, the wheel alignment should be checked.Regularly check the pressure of all your tires and correct the pressure as necessary, see Tire pressures, page 5.35.All wheels must have a valve cap fitted to protect the valve against dirt and moisture.tires do not contact the kerb or other obstacles.

If you find no signs of damage, have the tires and wheels inspected at your McLaren Retailer.sure that is too high or too low has a negative effect on the vehicle!s active safety, this could lead to an accident. Frequently check the pressure of all tires, particularly prior to long trips, and correct the pressure as necessary.WARNING: If the pressure in a tire drops repeatedly, inspect the tire for foreign objects or signs of punctures, check the valve for air leaks.For the tire pressures for various operating conditions, see Tire pressures, page 6.11. They are also printed on a label attached to the fuel filler flap.If the vehicle is to be driven at high speeds, the tire pressure must be checked, and if necessary adjusted.NOTE: In some markets, the tire pressure label is attached to the base of the driver!s side B-post. NOTE: Tire pressures given for low loads are minimum values which offer optimum ride comfort.Increased pressures for higher loads will not adversely affect the running of the vehicle, but ride comfort will be impaired.Check the pressures when the tires are cold. If it is necessary to check the tires when they are warm, pressures will be higher. Do not let air out of warm tires to match the recommended cold tire pressures.

It performs the following functions in the cooling system:•antifreeze protection•increased efficiency of the cooling system•offers anti-corrosion protectionNOTE: Use Mobil Extra Antifreeze in all climates, all year round. If coolant is not used, the cooling system will not be sufficiently protected from corrosion and the cooling system efficiency will be reduced.NOTE: To prevent damage to the engine, only top up with a pre-mixed coolant that provides the desired level of antifreeze protection.If antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor is present in the correct concentration, the boiling point of the coolant will be around 266°F (130°C). The antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor concentration in the cooling system should be approximately 50% ±5%. This will protect the cooling system against freezing in temperatures of -40°F (-40°C).The antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor concentration in the cooling system should not exceed 55%, which provides antifreeze protection down to -49°F (-45°C), as a higher concentration will not dissipate heat as effectively.If the vehicle is losing coolant, do not drive your vehicle and contact your McLaren Retailer.Power steering fluidfluid.Brake fluidOver time, the brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, this reduces its boiling point.WARNING: If the boiling point of the brake fluid is reduced too much, vapor pockets may form in the brake system when the brakes are applied hard (e.g. when driving downhill or track driving) impairing the braking efficiency. Therefore, the brake fluid must be replaced at the recommended service intervals.Cooling system capacity 6.8 gal.

This helps to increase the yaw rate of the car, making the car feel more resistant to understeer. The lateral "g! force is also increased giving better handling characteristics.If the driver uses too much throttle exiting a corner, the inside rear wheel increases speed, which without brake steer could cause the car to become unstable. In this situation, brake steer will again gently apply the brake on the inside rear wheel, thereby restoring traction and stability.engine speeds under hard acceleration within Sport powertrain mode, the number of firing engine cylinders are cut to rapidly decrease the engine torque and engine speed allowing faster upshifts to be achieved. This will make the upshift more audibly noticeable than a normal upshift. This also occurs in Track powertrain mode, but at high engine speeds it is replaced by inertia push.

The brake system automatically applies the brakes until the accelerator is pressed.for an upshift at high engine speeds under hard acceleration, inertia push delivers greater acceleration. Under normal driving conditions, outside of inertia push when maximum performance is not called for, the engine and transmission speeds are aligned for a smooth seamless upshift. However, with inertia push, the clutch holding the next gear is engaged with greater force and the engine speed is not allowed to decrease fully, therefore utilizing the inertia of its internal rotating masses.
