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

seat is moved accidentally.

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.

minimizes the danger of injury from interior

impacts and the effects of whiplash.

WARNING: A seat belt which is not

worn, worn incorrectly, or has not

been engaged fully in the seat belt

buckle, cannot perform its intended

function. To avoid injuries, ensure

that all vehicle occupants wear their

seat belt correctly at all times.

Ensure that the belt:

•is routed as low as possible across

your pelvic area, i.e. across your hip

joints and not across your abdomen

•fits closely

•is not twisted

•is routed across the middle of your

shoulder

•lies flat across the mid point of the

collar bone between the neck and

shoulder

•fits closely across your pelvis by

pulling the shoulder belt upwards

Do not secure any objects with a seat

belt if the seat belt is being used by a

vehicle occupant.

Avoid wearing bulky clothing.

Do not route the belt across sharp

edged or fragile objects especially if

these are on or in your clothing The

seat belt could be damaged and you

could be injured.

Only one person should use each seat

belt at any one time.

Never allow children to travel on the

lap of another occupant.

Children under 4 ft 5 in (1.35 meters)

tall or younger than 12 years of age

must be secured in a suitable child

restraint. Follow the manufacturer!s

instructions when installing child

restraint systems.

WARNING: Pregnant women should

wear a seat belt to ensure maximum

safety of mother and unborn child.

Position the lap belt across the hips,

beneath the abdomen and position

the shoulder belt between the breasts

and to the side of the abdomen.

Ensure the belt is not slack or twisted.

WARNING: The seat belt only provides

its intended degree of protection if

the seat backrest is positioned close

to vertical, and the occupant is sitting

upright.

WARNING: The seat belt cannot

perform its function correctly if the

seat belt or buckle becomes

excessively dirty or damaged. Ensure

the belt latch engages the buckle

fully.

Check the seat belts regularly to

ensure that they are not damaged, or

routed over sharp edges and are not

recommends that objects are not

placed under a seat. McLaren also

recommends that additional

materials are not applied such as a

aftermarket equipment such as

covers, heaters, and massagers are

NOT used.

WARNING: Any electronic devices

the 12V accessory socket should not

be placed on the passenger!s seat.

They can affect how the occupant

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

your hearing and the powder does not

constitute a health hazard nor does it

imply that a fire has broken out. This

serious injury.

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-

hand side of the central display is amber,

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

the menu structure, see LEFT-HAND DISPLAY,

NOTE: Not available in all markets,

consult your McLaren Retailer.

•Avoid laboring or over-revving the

•Switch off the air conditioning when it is

not needed.

•Avoid journeys where frequent stop start

•Use a reputable fuel economy tracking

website to track your mileage and fuel

usage.

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.

If the warnings persist, contact your McLaren

Retailer.

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

button, the front parking sensors will become

active again when the vehicle speed reduces

to 12 mph (20 kph).

The parking sensors can be switched off

•Anti-lock Braking System

•Brake assist system

•Brake disc wiping

•Hill hold

•Brake-steer

•Electronic brake pre-fill

•Electronic Stability Control

WARNING: The risk of an accident

increases when driving quickly,

especially when cornering, on wet

and icy roads. Always maintain a safe

distance to the vehicle in front.

The driving safety systems described

in this section are unable to override

the laws of physics.

Always adapt your driving style to

suit the road and weather conditions

and maintain a sufficient distance

from other road users and objects on

the road.

NOTE: In winter conditions, the

allows the vehicle to be steered during

braking maneuvers.

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

during braking, the warning light flashes, and

the brake pedal pulses as this happens.

When the Anti-lock Braking System is

activated, maintain the force on the brake

pedal until the braking situation is over.

vectoring differential, but is integrated into

the braking system reducing weight and

providing excellent speed of response.

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

and stability.

of Electronic Stability Control.

The traction control system reduces engine

torque to prevent the wheels from spinning. If

additional intervention is required to stop the

wheels from spinning, the vehicle will apply

the rear brakes individually. The 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

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

you only use products tested and approved

for McLaren. Damage resulting from using

non-approved service products is not covered

by the liability for material defects.

WARNING: When handling, storing

and disposing of any service

products, please observe the relevant

regulations. Failure to do so could

endanger people and the

environment. Do not allow service

products to come into direct contact

with your eyes or open wounds.

Contact a doctor immediately if any

service product is swallowed.

ENVIRONMENTAL: Dispose of service

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

inertia push, the clutch holding the next gear

speed is not allowed to decrease fully,
