may not be able to observe road and
traffic conditions and you could lose
control of the vehicle as a result of
the seat moving. You could therefore
cause an accident.
WARNING: The seats can be moved
even without a key fob in the vehicle.
Do not leave children unattended in
the vehicle, they could be injured if a

WARNING: Ensure that no one can
become trapped as the seat moves.
To reduce the risk of injuries in the
event of an accident, observe the
following:
All vehicle occupants must select a
seat position that allows the seat belt
to be worn correctly, but is as far
away from the front air bags as
possible. The position of the driver!s
seat must allow the driver to drive the
vehicle safely. The distance from the
driver!s seat to the pedals must be
such that the driver can fully depress
the pedals. The distance between the
driver!s chest and the center of the air
bag cover must be more than
10 inches (25 centimeters). The
driver!s arms should be slightly bent
when holding the steering wheel.
Vehicle occupants must always wear
their seat belt correctly.
Position the passenger!s seat as far
back as is comfortable.

WARNING: To ensure that the
occupant classification system
functions correctly, McLaren
recommends that objects are not
placed under a seat. McLaren also
recommends that additional
materials are not applied such as a
blanket, cushion, or aftermarket
equipment such as a seat cover,
heater, or massager. These items can
seriously affect how well the
occupant classification system
operates. McLaren recommends that
aftermarket equipment such as
covers, heaters, and massagers are
NOT used.
WARNING: Any electronic devices
that are either active or connected to
the 12V accessory socket should not
be placed on the passenger!s seat.
They can affect how the occupant
classification system operates.
WARNING: The occupant
classification system may become
affected if any form of liquid
(inclusive of rain) is spilled onto the

McLaren Retailer at your earliest
convenience.
WARNING: Do not place sharp objects
onto the passenger!s seat. These may
damage the occupant classification
system if they puncture the seat
cushion.
WARNING: To ensure that the
occupant classification system
functions correctly, never place
objects (e.g. a cushion) under the
child restraint system. The entire
base of the child restraint system
must be in contact with the seat at all
times. If a child restraint system is

collision 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. The noise will not damage
your hearing and the powder does not
constitute a health hazard nor does it
imply that a fire has broken out. This
powder could cause short term
breathing difficulties for persons
suffering from asthma or other
respiratory conditions. To prevent

Nose lift gives you the option to raise or lower
the front of the vehicle dependent on the
current vehicle ride height.
Nose ride height can only be raised when
traveling at speeds below 31 mph (50 kph).
The nose will automatically lower at speeds
above 37 mph (60 kph).
NOTE: If the nose lift icon on the right-

the system is not available. Do not drive
the vehicle at high speed and contact
your McLaren Retailer as soon as
possible.
The front suspension can be left fully raised
for extended periods, but it may relax to a
lower level over time.
If the nose is left in a raised position for a long
period, a system reset may occur when the
engine is next started to return the nose to
normal ride height.
If nose lift is used when in motion, slight
adjustments to the steering feel may be
experienced, this is normal and does not
affect the operation of the vehicle.
Access to nose lift can be obtained by using

Exhaust Temperature Monitoring
temperatures to protect the catalytic
converters from damage caused by
overheating.
If excessive exhaust temperatures are
measured, a warning will be displayed on the
left-hand side of the instrument cluster.
The vehicle speed should be reduced as soon
as this message is observed. Refrain from
maneuvers involving high engine speed and
high engine load (full throttle) to allow the
exhausts to cool. The message will remain
until the temperature has reduced.
If the exhaust temperature remains at an
excessive level, a second warning is displayed
and Limphome mode is activated. The engine
performance will remain limited until the
vehicle is restarted.
NOTE: Catalytic converter over
temperature warnings are not likely to
be observed during normal driving and
are the result of extreme operating
conditions. For example, high exhaust
temperatures can be caused by
extended track driving, maintaining high
engine speed for long durations, and
sudden and repeated changes in throttle
demand.
NOTE: High exhaust temperatures can
cause damage to catalytic converters
and should be avoided by practicing
careful driving.

Parking Sensors
obstructions while maneuvering at low
speeds. The system comprises four ultrasonic
sensors in the front bumper, four ultrasonic
sensors in the rear bumper and two sounders.
Each sounder has a different pitch to indicate
whether the obstruction is at the front or the
rear of the vehicle.
The front parking sensors are automatically
switched on when the engine is running and
drive is selected. The rear parking sensors are
switched on when reverse gear is selected.
The light around the parking sensors button
will illuminate red to indicate that parking
sensors are active.
The center sensors on the front bumper have
a range of approximately 3 feet (1 meter). The
center sensors in the rear bumper have a
range of approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters).
An intermittent tone is heard when an
obstruction is within range. As the vehicle
moves closer to an obstruction, the
frequency of the tone increases. When the
distance between the sensors and the
obstruction is less than approximately
1.5 feet (40 centimeters), the tone becomes
continuous.
WARNING: The parking sensors may
not detect moving objects such as
children and animals until they are
dangerously close. Always maneuver
with caution and always use your
mirrors, turn your head and look
behind you.
NOTE: The parking sensors are for
guidance only and are not intended to
replace the driver!s visual checks for
obstructions when maneuvering. The
parking sensors may not detect some
obstructions, such as narrow posts or
small obstructions close to the ground
such as kerbs.
The rear parking sensors are automatically
switched off when reverse gear is de-selected.
The front parking sensors are automatically
switched off when the vehicle speed exceeds
16 mph (26 kph) and drive is selected. If the
parking sensors have been manually
activated, by pressing the center of the

The Anti-lock Braking System works from a
speed of approximately 5 mph (8 kph)
upwards, regardless of road surface
conditions. It works on slippery surfaces, even
when you brake gently.
WARNING: Do not depress the brake
pedal repeatedly in quick succession
(pumping). Depress the brake pedal
firmly and evenly. Pumping the brake
pedal reduces the braking effect.
If the Anti-lock Braking System operates

Torque vectoring gives the differential the
ability to change the amount of power that is
sent to each of the rear wheels to provide
optimum stability and traction.
If the system detects that the car is starting to
understeer through a corner, the inside rear
brake is gently applied. 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

HEELS AND TIRES
Wheels and tires
in 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
incorrectly
NOTE: Store tires in a cool, dry place,
preferably in the dark. Protect the tires
from oil, grease and petrol.

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.

While driving, pay attention to vibrations,
noises and unusual handling characteristics,
e.g. pulling to one side. This may indicate that
the tires or wheels are damaged. If you
experience anything unusual, reduce your
speed and stop the vehicle as soon as safety
permits to check the tires and wheels for
damage. If you find no signs of damage, have
the tires and wheels inspected at your
McLaren Retailer.

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

Coolant
and corrosion inhibitor. It performs the
following functions in the cooling system:
antifreeze protection
increased efficiency of the cooling
system
offers anti-corrosion protection
NOTE: 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 fluid
fluid.
Brake fluid
Over 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.

If the system detects that the car is starting to
understeer through a corner, the inside rear

the yaw rate of the car, making the car feel
more resistant to understeer. The lateral "g!

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.

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. This in turn provides a
torque impulse as the gear is engaged aiding
acceleration and maximizing performance.
