e driver!s seat
when the vehicle is stationary. You
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
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.

WARNING: McLaren Automotive does
not recommend the use of child seats
in this vehicle, but if you choose to do
so, please follow the guidelines
below:

•

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.

•

If you are using a child restraint on
the passenger!s seat, move the seat
as far back as possible.

most effective means of restraining vehicle
occupants from impact forces, which
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
trapped. The belt could tear in an
accident, causing injury to occupants.

Have seat belts checked if the belts
have been damaged or subjected to a
heavy load. Work on the seat belts
should only be carried out by your
McLaren Retailer.

WARNING: If the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF warning light is not illuminated
when the child seat is fitted, the
passenger!s air bag is not

seriously injured if the passenger!s
air bag inflates.

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
passenger!s seat. If the PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF warning light is not
illuminated when the seat is
unoccupied, do not install a child
restraint or allow anyone to occupy
the seat. Please contact your nearest
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
not fitted correctly it may not provide
the intended degree of protection in
the event of an accident and may
cause injuries.

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
breathing difficulties, leave the
vehicle as soon as possible or open a
window.

WARNING: After an air bag has been
triggered, air bag parts are hot, do not
touch them. Have the air bags
replaced at your McLaren Retailer.

Nose Lift be used as a jacking system.
Using the Nose Lift to access the
underneath of the car may result in
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 right­hand 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,
page 3.4.

from you and downshifts can be made
by pushing the right-hand paddle away
from you.

The gearshift paddles operate irrespective of
the handling and powertrain program
selected, and there is no need to release the
accelerator pedal to change gear.

WARNING: For safety, in manual
mode only, the vehicle will monitor
engine speed and may perform an
automatic gear change if necessary.

WARNING: Do not change down for
additional engine braking on a
slippery surface.

NOTE: If operating the paddles in
automatic mode, the gearbox will revert
to automatic changes if an eight second
period elapses without a gear change
being made.

To immediately shift to the lowest possible
gear whilst the vehicle is moving, select and
hold a downshift on the paddle. The vehicle

will then go down through all gears
sequentially until the optimum gear is
reached or you release the paddle.

When the vehicle speed is below 6 mph
(10 kph) or the vehicle is stationary with a
gear selected, select a downshift and hold the
paddle to select neutral.

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

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
manually by pressing the center of the
button, when in drive or neutral. The parking
sensors cannot be manually switched off if
Reverse gear is selected. When manually
switched off, the light around the button will
be extinguished.

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

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.

stability and traction between the tires and
the road surface.

Electronic stability control detects when a
wheel starts to spin or the vehicle starts to
skid and stabilizes the vehicle by braking
individual wheels, and/or limiting the engine
power output. This also assists when pulling
away on wet or slippery road surfaces and
stabilizes the vehicle when braking.

NOTE: Electronic stability control only
functions properly if wheels with the
recommended specification tires are
used.

Electronic stability control is activated
automatically as soon as the engine is
running.

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
control system brakes individual drive wheels
to prevent them from spinning. This means
that the vehicle can accelerate on slippery
surfaces.

WARNING: The traction control
system cannot reduce the risk of an
accident if you drive too fast. The
traction control system is unable to
override the laws of physics.

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.

your 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 under­inflation 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 re­inflate 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.
