A second press (after a pause) unlocks the passenger’s door. Double Press If BOTH is selected, a double press of the button unlocks both doors and unlatches the driver’s door. If DRIVER is selected, a double press of the button will unlock and unlatch the driver’s door only. Stowing the key fob For security, it is recommended that the key fob stays on your person when you are in the vehicle. If, however, you wish to stow the key fob within the vehicle, ensure that it is not left in plain view. NOTE: If the message ‘key not found within vehicle’ appears on the instrument cluster, reposition key fob until it is detected. NOTE: Do not stow the key fob in the centre console stowage compartment, in the cup holders, in the stowage nets between the seats, in the door stowage compartments, or on the shelf immediately behind the seats as the system may not detect its presence and the engine will not start.

Belt force limiters are tuned to the front air bags and gradually release the tension being applied to the belts during an impact, reducing the force exerted on occupants. p13.book Page 43 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Before You Drive Occupant Safety Seat belt warning light The seat belt warning light in the instrument cluster and a warning tone reminds vehicle occupants to fasten their seat belts. The seat belt warning light extinguishes and the warning tone ceases when the driver and passenger have fastened their seat belt. Supplementary Restraint System • Do not lean forward over the Air bag system Your McLaren is equipped with the following air bags: • driver’s front air bag in the steering • • wheel • passenger’s front air bag in the dashboard • side head air bags in the doors WARNING: Air bags are not a substitute for correctly worn seat belts, they enhance the level of occupant protection offered by seat belts. WARNING: Correct operation of the air bags can only occur if the steering wheel, the passenger’s air bag cover and the door trim are not covered. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injuries in the event of an accident, observe the following points: • Ensure that the driver’s chest is at least 25 centimetres (10 inches) from the air bag cover. • • • dashboard while the vehicle is in motion. Do not rest your feet on the dashboard. Only hold the steering wheel by the outside of the rim. You could be injured if the air bag deploys and you are holding the inside of the steering wheel. Occupants, particularly children, must not lean on the doors from inside the vehicle. Ensure that there are no other objects between the vehicle occupants and the deployment area of the air bags. Because of the high speed at which air bags deploy, there is a risk of injuries caused by an inflating air bag. Air bag replacement WARNING: McLaren recommends that air bags are replaced every 15 years to prevent air bags from not firing due to component operating life. 1.43 p13.book Page 44 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Before You Drive Occupant Safety Air bag system modification If it is necessary to modify the air bag system to accommodate a person with disabilities, please contact your nearest McLaren retailer. For more information on McLaren retailers, please refer to your Service and Warranty Guide. Front air bags The front air bags are deployed if the system determines they can offer additional protection for occupants against head and chest injuries. NOTE: The passenger’s front air bag is only triggered if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF warning light on the overhead console is NOT illuminated, see Occupant classification system front passenger’s seat, page 1.45. Side head air bags WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury to occupants if a side head air bag is triggered, ensure that: • there are no other objects between The driver’s front air bag (1) deploys in front of the steering wheel and the passenger’s front air bag (2) deploys in front of and above the dashboard. 1.44 the vehicle occupants and the deployment area of the air bags • no accessories are attached to the doors • no heavy or sharp objects are left in the pockets in clothing • occupants, particularly children, must not lean on the doors from inside the vehicle The side head air bags (left-hand highlighted) are located in the upper area of each door panel, and are deployed if the system determines they can offer additional protection for the head of the occupant on the side of the vehicle on which the impact occurs. NOTE: The passenger’s side head air bag is only deployed if the passenger’s seat is occupied. p13.book Page 45 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Before You Drive Occupant Safety Occupant classification system - front passenger’s seat The system can determine if the passenger’s seat is occupied using a capacitance mat fitted in the seat base, and by checking the seat belt buckle engagement on the passenger’s seat belt. The system will deactivate the passenger's front air bag for children in child seats and unoccupied passenger's seat ensuring air bag deployment for adults. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF warning light illuminates when the ignition is switched on and extinguishes after 5 seconds. The warning light will remain illuminated if the passenger’s seat is unoccupied or if a child seat is fitted. NOTE: The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF warning light is always illuminated unless the passenger's seat is occupied or a child seat is fitted to the passenger's seat. If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF warning light is illuminated, the passenger’s front air bag is not active. The side head air bag and the belt tensioner on the passenger’s side remain active even if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF warning light is illuminated. 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 deactivated. The child could be seriously injured if the passenger’s air bag inflates. The status of the air bags is indicated by the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF warning light on the overhead console. 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 12 V 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 1.45 p13.book Page 46 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Before You Drive Occupant Safety the seat. Please contact your nearest McLaren retailer at your earliest convenience. the air bags depending on the severity of the collision to provide the best possible protection to the vehicle occupants. WARNING: Do not place sharp objects onto the passenger’s seat. These may damage the occupant classification system if they puncture the seat cushion. The system uses sensors to rapidly evaluate the collision severity and the number of vehicle occupants. 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. 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. Air bag deployment In the event of a collision the air bags are deployed by the Supplementary Restraints System to protect the vehicle occupants. The system can control the number of air bags deployed and partially or fully inflate 1.46 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. Out Of Position (OOP) The air bag system in your McLaren has been tested for the correct small child Out Of Position (OOP) operation. OOP can occur if a small child is incorrectly positioned in the passenger’s seat in the event of a collision in which the air bags are deployed. Supplementary Restraint System warning light The Supplementary Restraint System performs a self-test at regular intervals when the ignition is switched on and the engine is running. p13.book Page 47 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Before You Drive Occupant Safety The warning light in the instrument cluster illuminates when the ignition is switched on and extinguishes 5 seconds after the engine is started. WARNING: Contact your McLaren retailer immediately should any of the following occur: • the warning light does not illuminate when you switch on the ignition • the light does not extinguish 5 seconds after the engine is running • the light illuminates again, after the engine has started Safety features If you are unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident the following events will occur to assist you and any recovery personnel: • the doors will unlock • the hazard warning lights will switch on • the interior lighting will switch on In some instances, the fuel system will also be switched off. Child passengers WARNING: Do not leave children unsupervised in the vehicle even if they are secured in a child restraint. Children could injure themselves on parts of the vehicle, open a door and be seriously or even fatally harmed by prolonged exposure to heat or cold. If children open a door, they could cause injury to others in doing so or get out of the vehicle and possibly injure themselves or they could be injured by a passing vehicle. Do not expose the child restraint system to direct sunlight. The metal parts of the child restraint system could burn the child. Do not carry heavy or hard objects inside the vehicle unless they are secured. An unsecured or incorrectly positioned load increases the risk of injury to the child during sharp braking, a sudden change of direction or an accident. 1.47 p13.book Page 48 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Before You Drive Occupant Safety Child restraint system 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: Secure any child under 1.5 metres (4 feet 11 inches) tall or younger than 12 years of age travelling in the vehicle in an appropriate category restraint according to their weight. Contact your McLaren retailer for advice. Please refer to current national and local laws for specific requirements. WARNING: Never secure a rearward facing child restraint system on the passenger’s seat if the passenger’s front air bag is active. The status is indicated by the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator. WARNING: If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator does not illuminate, do not use a rearward facing child restraint system on the passenger seat. You may use a forward-facing child restraint system on the passenger’s seat. The warning label on the passenger’s side is there to remind you of this. WARNING: If a forward facing child seat is fitted to the passenger’s seat, make sure that the passenger’s seat is fully rearwards 1.48 p13.book Page 49 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Before You Drive Occupant Safety and is positioned at the lowest height. A manual passenger’s seat does not have height adjustment. WARNING: If the child restraint system has not been fitted correctly, the child cannot be restrained in an accident or sudden braking and could be injured. When fitting a child restraint system, observe the manufacturer’s instructions on the correct use of the child restraint. KISI child restraint function Your McLaren is fitted with a KISI system which is an automatic locking seat belt on the passenger’s side designed to temporarily lock the seat belt to securely hold the child restraint in the passenger’s seat. 1. Extend the passenger’s seat belt fully. The KISI system only engages when the seat belt is fully extended. 2. Pass the seat belt through the child restraint as described by the child restraint manufacturer and engage the belt latch in the buckle. 3. Adjust the belt so that the lower section is tight against the restraint and allow the upper section to retract. The KISI system will click as the belt retracts. 4. When the seat belt has retracted as far as possible, pull on the upper section to check that the seat belt has locked. NOTE: The KISI system will disengage when the seat belt has fully retracted and can then be worn as a normal seat belt. Once the KISI system has unlocked, it will be necessary to fully extend the seat belt to engage the KISI system the next time a child restraint is used. NOTE: If the vehicle is parked on a hill the inertia lock may stop the seat belt extending. If this occurs, release the seat belt slightly and continue to extend the seat belt carefully to avoid the engagement of the inertia lock. 1.49 p13.book Page 50 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Before You Drive Mirrors Safety Mirrors Interior mirror WARNING: Before driving, adjust all mirrors to give the best possible view of road and traffic conditions. Exterior mirrors WARNING: In some markets, the exterior mirrors have convex glass fitted. This type of mirror enlarges the field of vision, but reduces the size of the image.

Anti-lock Braking System The anti-lock braking system prevents the wheels from locking when you brake. This allows the vehicle to be steered during braking manoeuvres. 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: 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. 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. The driving safety systems described in this section are unable to override the laws of physics. If the anti-lock braking system operates during braking, the brake pedal pulses as this happens. 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. When the anti-lock braking system is activated, maintain the force on the brake pedal until the braking situation is over. WARNING: Always adapt your driving style to suit the prevailing road and weather conditions and p13.book Page 29 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Driving Controls Driving Safety Systems maintain sufficient distance from other road users and objects on the road. Anti-lock Braking System status light If there is a malfunction with the system, the status light will illuminate. Do not drive your vehicle, contact your McLaren retailer as soon as possible. WARNING: If the anti-lock braking system malfunctions, brake assist system and electronic stability control are also deactivated. If the anti-lock braking system malfunctions, the wheels could lock when you brake. This may increase the stopping distance and impair your ability to steer. Brake assist system Brake disc wiping Brake assist system operates in emergency braking situations. If you depress the brake pedal quickly, the brake assist system automatically increases the force applied to the brakes and thus shortens the stopping distance. Brake disc wiping operates automatically when the windscreen wipers are switched on. It prevents moisture build up on the brake discs during periods of heavy rain, improving braking performance. Continue to depress the brake pedal firmly until the emergency situation is over, the anti-lock braking system prevents the wheels from locking. When you release the brake pedal, the brakes will work as normal. Brake assist system is deactivated. WARNING: If the brake assist system malfunctions, the brakes will still operate. However, the braking force is not automatically boosted and this may increase the stopping distance. 2.29 p13.book Page 30 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Driving Controls Driving Safety Systems Hill hold control Brake-steer Electronic brake pre-fill If the brake pedal is applied to hold the vehicle on a hill, this function will continue to apply the brakes for 2 seconds after the pedal is released to assist a smooth start. Brake steer offers the benefits of a torque vectoring differential, but is integrated into the braking system reducing weight and providing excellent speed of response. If the accelerator pedal is suddenly released, the electronic brake pre-fill function immediately brings the brake pads into contact with the discs, ensuring rapid braking. 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 vehicle is starting to understeer through a corner, the inside rear brake is gently applied. This helps to increase the yaw rate of the vehicle, making the vehicle 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 vehicle to become unstable. In this situation, brake steer will again gently apply the brake on the inside rear wheel, thereby restoring traction and stability. 2.30 p13.book Page 31 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Driving Controls Driving Safety Systems Electronic stability control Electronic stability control (ESC) monitors driving stability and traction between the tyres and the road surface. Electronic stability control detects when a wheel starts to spin or the vehicle starts to skid and stabilises 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 stabilises the vehicle when braking. NOTE: Electronic stability control only functions properly if wheels with the recommended specification tyres are used. Electronic stability control is activated automatically as soon as the engine is running. WARNING: If the electronic stability control warning illuminates, do not deactivate electronic stability control. Adapt your driving style to suit road and traffic conditions. Traction control system The traction control system is an integral part 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. • the ‘ESC OFF’ warning light illuminates • the light on the ESC OFF button illuminates • electronic stability control no longer improves driving stability • the engine’s torque is no longer limited and the drive wheels could spin • the anti-lock braking system remains activated Deactivating Electronic Stability Control WARNING: When electronic stability control is deactivated, the risk of the vehicle skidding is increased. Adapt your driving style to suit road and traffic conditions. WARNING: Do not deactivate electronic stability control unless on a track and prevailing conditions are suitable. NOTE: When you deactivate electronic stability control, the following conditions result: 2.31 p13.book Page 32 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Driving Controls Driving Safety Systems Dynamic ESC modes The level of electronic stability control can be adjusted to various dynamic modes to suit the driver’s requirements and is dependent on the handling mode currently active.

Reactivation Procedure Perform any of the following to reactivate electronic stability control: 2.33 p13.book Page 34 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Driving Controls Driving Safety Systems Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Prior to every time the vehicle is to driven, each tyre should be checked when cold and inflated/deflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tyre inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tyre inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper inflation pressure for those tyres). In certain circumstances it is possible that the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) pressure warning will display without the loss of air from the tyre. This may be due to temperature variations between the locations where the tyre 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 tyre pressure warning after a short period of driving. The warning may also display when extreme ambient temperature variations occur or during seasonal temperature changes. 2.34 WARNING: Never ignore a tyre pressure warning. Check tyre pressures immediately and if necessary contact your McLaren retailer. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System overview located within the vehicle. Communication between the sensors and the receiver is via Radio Frequency (RF) signals. NOTE: The Tyre 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 Tyre Pressure Monitoring System will begin transmitting once the vehicle is travelling over 6 mph (10 kph), there will be a delay of up to 2 minutes before this information is displayed on the instrument cluster. The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System warns you when the pressure drops or the temperature increases above an acceptable level in one or more of the tyres. The system monitors the tyre pressures and temperatures in each wheel using sensors located in each tyre valve and a receiver Tyre Pressure Monitoring System operation If a low tyre pressure is detected, the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System warning light will illuminate along with an associated error message on the instrument cluster. Stop the vehicle as soon as possible, check all your tyres and inflate them to the recommended pressure, see Tyre pressures, page 5.35. The warning light will be extinguished once the tyres have been inflated to the correct pressure. p13.book Page 35 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Driving Controls Driving Safety Systems provides a low tyre pressure warning and does not re-inflate the tyres. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System cannot alert you to damage to a tyre. Regularly check the condition of your tyres. WARNING: TPMS is not a substitute for proper tyre maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tyre pressure warning light. Each tyre should be checked weekly when cold and inflated/deflated to the inflation pressure recommended on the tyre inflation pressure label. Navigate through the ‘Vehicle Info’ screen on the instrument cluster to view the current tyre pressures, see Vehicle Info, page 3.9. WARNING: If low pressure warnings occur frequently, have the tyres checked at your McLaren retailer. Driving on an under-inflated tyre will causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre failure. The display shows the pressures of each of the four tyres. If the pressure figure appears in green, no action is required. If it appears as red text, inflate the associated tyre to the correct pressure as soon as possible. Inspect the tyre(s) for any possible causes of reduced tyre pressure. WARNING: The tyre pressures indicated on the instrument cluster will be more accurate with a pressure gauge. The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System is not a substitute for manually checking tyre pressures or checking for wear and damage. The system only ENVIRONMENTAL: Under-inflated tyres reduce fuel efficiency and tyre tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and braking characteristics. ENVIRONMENTAL: Check tyre pressures at least every 7 days.

With worn tyres, 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 tyres fitted for information on the appropriate bedding in time based on your driving style. • With new tyres, avoid high speed • • • • 5.32 cornering and excess speed. Only have wheels and tyres of the same type and make fitted. Never use a tyre which has been punctured and then repaired. Only have tyres of the correct size fitted. Tyres degrade over time due to the effects of ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high loads, and environmental conditions. It is recommended that tyres are replaced every 6 years, or sooner if required. McLaren recommends that you only use Pirelli summer or winter tyres, See Wheel and tyre sizes, page 6.13. These tyres 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 tyres and wheels. Further information about wheels and tyres can be obtained from your McLaren retailer. WARNING: Using tyres 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 tyres or the vehicle. NOTE: Retreaded tyres must not be used. Do not fit used tyres 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 tyres in a cool, dry place, preferably in the dark. Protect the tyres from oil, grease and petrol. p13.book Page 33 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Maintaining Your McLaren Wheels and Tyres Tyre markings 1. Width of tyre in millimetres. 2. Tyre profile given as percentage of tyre width. 3. Indicates that the tyre is radial ply. 4. Indicates the diameter of the wheel rim in inches. 5. The numbers denote load index and the letter indicates the speed rating. 91 indicates a weight of 615 kg (1,350 lbs) and Y indicates speeds over 186 mph (300 kph). 6. Displays the maximum load which can be carried by the tyre. 7. Treadwear grade number. The higher the figure the longer a tyre will last. 8. The alpha character denotes resistance to heat. An ‘A’ rated tyre offers most heat resistance. 9. Information about the manufacture of the tyre. Contains place and date of manufacture. Tyres WARNING: The tyres must be mounted according to the labelling on the tyre wall. The word ‘OUTSIDE’ must be on the outer edge of the tyre when it is fitted to the wheel or the stability of the vehicle will be adversely affected, especially at high speeds. Asymmetric tyres Asymmetric tyres have a tread pattern that is different from one side of the tread to the other. This combination of tread offers better grip in both wet and dry conditions. The outer tread features a larger stiffer tread pattern that aids with cornering stability. The inner tread pattern aids stability in wet conditions. A central groove in the tyre aids straight line stability. WARNING: Only tyres recommended by McLaren are to be fitted to the vehicle. 5.33 p13.book Page 34 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Maintaining Your McLaren Wheels and Tyres WARNING: The tyres must be mounted according to the labelling on the tyre wall. The benefits of asymmetric tyres will only be available if the tyres are fitted correctly. damage to the sensor, the tyres must be replaced using the correct procedure. WARNING: Tyre 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 tyres. Reduce your speed and drive with greater care. Inspecting wheels and tyres At least every 14 days, check the tyres for cuts, punctures, tears, bumps, deformation and cracks. Check wheels for severe corrosion. Damaged wheels could cause a loss of tyre pressure. Regularly check the tyre tread depth and the condition of the tread across the whole width of the tyre. 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 tyre. Tyres 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 tyres replaced by your McLaren retailer. Each wheel has a tyre pressure sensor connected to the tyre valve. In order to avoid 5.34 NOTE: If tread wear is uneven across the tyre, or becomes excessive, the wheel alignment should be checked. Regularly check the pressure of all your tyres and correct the pressure as necessary, see Tyre pressures, page 5.35. All wheels must have a valve cap fitted to protect the valve against dirt and moisture. Driving precautions When parking your McLaren, ensure that the tyres do not contact the kerb or other obstacles. If it is necessary to drive over kerbs, speed humps or potholes, drive slowly and approach the obstacle at a shallow angle or the tyres could be damaged. p13.book Page 35 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Maintaining Your McLaren Wheels and Tyres While driving, pay attention to vibrations, noises and unusual handling characteristics, e.g. pulling to one side. This may indicate that the tyres or wheels are damaged. If you experience anything unusual, reduce your speed and stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits to check the tyres and wheels for damage. If you find no signs of damage, have the tyres and wheels inspected at your McLaren retailer. Tyre pressures WARNING: Tyre pressure 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 tyres, particularly prior to long trips, and correct the pressure as necessary. WARNING: If the pressure in a tyre drops repeatedly, inspect the tyre for foreign objects or signs of punctures, check the valve for air leaks. For the tyre pressures for various operating conditions, see Tyre pressures, page 6.14. They are also printed on a label attached to the fuel filler flap. If the vehicle is to be driven at high speeds, the tyre pressure must be checked, and if necessary adjusted. NOTE: In some markets, the tyre pressure label is attached to the base of the driver’s side door aperture. NOTE: Tyre pressures given for low loads are minimum values which offer optimum ride comfort. 5.35 p13.book Page 36 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Maintaining Your McLaren Wheels and Tyres 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 tyres are cold. If it is necessary to check the tyres when they are warm, pressures will be higher. Do not let air out of warm tyres to match the recommended cold tyre pressures. Driving with tyre pressure that is too high or too low can: • create a risk of tyre failure with resultant accidents, causing injury or death • shorten the life of the tyres • cause increased tyre damage • have a negative effect on handling characteristics (e.g. by causing aquaplaning) ENVIRONMENTAL: Check tyre pressures at least every 14 days. Interchanging wheels WARNING: Only approved wheels with winter tyres can be fitted to your McLaren as alternatives. Deflated tyre Using the tyre sealant Your McLaren is equipped with a can of tyre sealant, which is located in the luggage compartment. In the event of a puncture, follow the steps below to ensure your safety and the safety of other vehicle occupants and other road users. Repairing a puncture 1. Stop the vehicle as far away as possible from traffic and on a firm and level surface. 2. If on a public highway, switch on the hazard warning lamps, see Hazard warning lamps, page 1.57. 3. Passengers should exit the vehicle safely and remain well away from the vehicle, the road and any traffic. 4. Apply the parking brake and select neutral. 5. Place the warning triangle at an appropriate distance from the vehicle to warn other traffic of a breakdown, see Warning triangle, page 5.11. You can use the tyre sealant to seal small punctures, particularly those in the tyre’s tread. The tyre sealant can be used at ambient temperatures down to -20°C (-4°F). WARNING: The tyre sealant is unable to seal punctures if: • there are cuts or punctures in the tyre greater than 4 mm • the rims are damaged • you have driven at very low tyre pressures or with deflated tyres Contact your McLaren retailer immediately. 5.36 p13.book Page 37 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Maintaining Your McLaren Wheels and Tyres Remove the tyre sealant from the luggage compartment and follow the instructions on the container. NOTE: If possible, locate the cause of the puncture and position the wheel so the puncture is at the lowest point to enable the sealant to be more effective. vomiting. Contact a doctor immediately. Do not inhale tyre sealant fumes. NOTE: After using tyre sealant, the tyre valve, incorporating the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System sensor, will have to be replaced. Have the punctured tyre replaced as soon as possible. WARNING: Have punctured tyres replaced. McLaren do not recommend that punctured tyres are repaired. WARNING: If the tyre sealant comes into contact with your eyes or skin, immediately rinse thoroughly with clean water, change out of clothing which has been in contact with the tyre sealant. If an allergic reaction occurs, contact a doctor immediately. WARNING: Keep the tyre sealant out of reach of children. If tyre sealant is swallowed, immediately rinse the mouth thoroughly and drink a large amount of water. Do not induce 5.37 p13.book Page 38 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Maintaining Your McLaren Vehicle Care Washing your McLaren Vehicle Care ENVIRONMENTAL: Some cleaning products contain chemicals that are hazardous to the environment. Always take precautions to prevent fluids from spilling and never use excessive quantities. Hand washing your McLaren Prior to hand washing, lock the vehicle and place the key out of range (at least 3 metres (9.8 feet) or greater distance) to ensure that the doors do not open. NOTE: Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight or if it is hot to the touch, this may cause water marks and streaks. Do not wash the engine with hose pipe or pressure washer. Do not use household detergents, these products will discolour painted surfaces and remove protective wax finishes. 1. Pre-rinse the body thoroughly with a hose pipe held at a shallow angle to loosen any dirt and wet the paintwork ready for washing, avoiding direct spray on engine cover vents. 2. Prepare a bucket of warm water and a good quality car shampoo. Refer to the shampoo manufacturer’s instructions for dilution ratios. 3. Working from the top of the vehicle down, wash the vehicle, ideally using a lambswool wash mitt rather than a 5.38 sponge, use generous quantities of water paying particular attention to areas where dirt can accumulate. Use one wash mitt for the top of the vehicle (roof, luggage compartment lid and areas above the wheel arch line) and a separate mitt for areas below the wheel arch line. NOTE: Do not clean the wheels with these wash mitts. NOTE: Do not allow the shampoo to dry, it will leave streaks on the paint work. 4. Tar spots and stubborn grease marks can be removed using white spirit or denatured alcohol. After cleaning, immediately wash the area with soapy water to remove all traces of spirit or alcohol. 5. Once the vehicle is clean, work from the top of the vehicle down and rinse the vehicle thoroughly using a hose pipe held at a shallow angle, avoiding direct spray on engine cover vents. 6. Dry the vehicle using a chamois leather or drying towel. p13.book Page 39 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Maintaining Your McLaren Vehicle Care NOTE: In case of signs of water in the engine bay, it is advised to drive the vehicle and warm the engine to operating temperature to dry off any excessive water from the engine. Washing the wheels NOTE: Wash the wheels frequently, do not allow brake dust to become ingrained in the wheel rim finish. Wash the wheels using warm water, a good quality car shampoo and a wheel brush or wash mitt that is used only on the wheels. Apply polish to non-satin finished wheels to assist in keeping them clean. NOTE: Never apply polish to satin finish wheels, this will result in localised glossy patches on the surface of the wheel. NOTE: Do not use acid based wheel cleaners as these can damage the wheel rim finish leading to corrosion. NOTE: Ensure the brakes are fully dried after the wheels have been cleaned before the vehicle is stored. Wiper blades and rubber seals Clean wiper blades and rubber seals using warm water and a good quality car shampoo only. Do not use petroleum or alcohol-based cleaners. NOTE: Do not use cutting compound, colour restoration products or polishes containing a harsh abrasive. These can scratch the surface and permanently damage the paint work. Windscreen, windows and mirrors Regularly clean all windows inside and out using a window cleaning solution. An automotive glass cleaner is recommended. After washing the vehicle with car shampoo containing wax, clean the outside of the windscreen with glass cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds as mirror glass is particularly susceptible to damage. Paint damage and rectification Regularly inspect the paint work for damage. Any stone chips or deep scratches should be repaired as soon as possible. Contact your McLaren retailer for advice. Underbody cleaning Salt used on roads to control snow and ice during the winter can collect on the vehicle’s underbody, if this is not removed, corrosion can occur. During the winter months, regularly hose the underbody with water paying particular attention to the wheel arches and areas where dirt can accumulate. Polishing Occasionally polish the paint work using a good quality polish, following up with a protective wax. 5.39 p13.book Page 40 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Maintaining Your McLaren Vehicle Care Cleaning the interior NOTE: Your McLaren retailer will be able to recommend products for cleaning the interior of your vehicle.

McLaren recommends that 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 products in an environmentally responsible manner. Engine oil specification Engine oil capacity Fuel 9.0 litres NOTE: McLaren recommends only 0W-40 engine oil. You may obtain further information from your McLaren retailer. NOTE: Do not use any lubricant additives. These could lead to increased wear and damage to the mechanical assemblies. Damage caused by additives, which are not approved, is not covered by the McLaren warranty. WARNING: Fuel is highly flammable. Fire, naked flames and smoking are prohibited when handling fuels. Switch off the engine before refuelling. WARNING: Do not allow fuel to come into contact with skin or clothing. Allowing fuels to come into direct contact with your skin or inhaling fuel vapours is damaging to your health. For more information about fuel, see Recommended fuel, page 2.46. Fuel tank Total capacity 72 litres (15.8 UK gal.) Capacity remaining when low level lamp illuminates 11 litres (2.4 UK gal.) 6.15 p13.book Page 16 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Vehicle Data and Glossary Service Products, Fluids and Capacities Coolant Cooling system capacity 23.4 litres (5.2 UK gal.) Antifreeze quantity for protection to -20°C (-4°F) 13.0 litres (2.9 UK gal.) The coolant is a mixture of water, antifreeze 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 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. 6.16 If antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor is present in the correct concentration, the boiling point of the coolant will be around 130°C (266°F). 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°C (-40°F). The antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor concentration in the cooling system should not exceed 55%, which provides antifreeze protection down to -45°C (-49°F), 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 Only use Pentosin CHF202 power steering fluid. Brake fluid Only use Pentosin DoT 5.1 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, vapour 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. p13.book Page 17 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Vehicle Data and Glossary Technical Glossary Technical glossary Technical Glossary Active dynamics control A system that allows the driver to change the handling and performance characteristics of the vehicle. Anti-lock Braking System The anti-lock braking system prevents the wheels from locking when you brake. This allows the vehicle to be steered during braking manoeuvres. Automatic driver recognition cards A card which must be on the person entering the vehicle or the Tracker system signals that the vehicle is being moved without authorisation. Brake assist system Brake assist system operates in emergency braking situations. If you depress the brake pedal quickly, Brake assist system automatically increases the force being applied to the brakes and thus shortens the stopping distance. Brake disc wiping Brake disc wiping operates when the windscreen wipers are switched on. It prevents moisture build up on the brake discs during periods of heavy rain, by applying the brakes momentarily, so that the pads touch the discs. Brake steer Brake steer offers the benefits of a torque vectoring differential, but is integrated into the braking system reducing weight and providing excellent speed of response. If the system detects that the vehicle is starting to understeer through a corner, the inside rear brake is gently applied. This helps to increase the yaw rate of the vehicle, making the vehicle 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 vehicle to become unstable. In this situation, brake steer will again gently apply the brake on the inside rear wheel, thereby restoring traction and stability. Cylinder cut When calling for an upshift at moderate 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. See Inertia push, page 6.18. Electronic brake pre-fill If the accelerator pedal is suddenly released, the electronic brake pre-fill function immediately brings the brake pads into contact with the discs, making for more rapid braking. Electronic Stability Control ESC monitors driving stability and traction between the tyres and the road surface. Global Positioning System By means of the appropriate receivers, satellite signals supply information on the geographical position of the vehicle. These 6.17 p13.book Page 18 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM signals are compared with a digital map and used both to determine the position of the vehicle and for its route guidance. Handling control The handling control switch affects the following vehicle characteristics: • Adaptive damping • ESC settings Hill hold control Hill hold control prevents roll-back on hill starts. The brake system automatically applies the brakes until the accelerator is pressed. Inertia push Within Track powertrain mode when calling 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 utilising the inertia of its internal rotating masses. This in turn provides a torque impulse as the gear is engaged aiding acceleration and maximising performance. Performance Shift Cue (PSC) PSC is an audible shift indicator, which will sound to indicate that an upshift is required to maintain optimum performance. Keyless Entry Keyless Entry allows the driver to unlock the vehicle and disarm the alarm by simply opening the door when the key is within 1.5 metres (5 feet) of the door sensors. Rear View Camera The Rear View Camera (RVC) is mounted in the centre of the rear grille. The live video feed is displayed on the instrument cluster when the function is active. Launch control Launch control is designed to give the maximum acceleration performance from a standing start. Seamless Shift Gearbox The seamless shift gearbox is a 7 speed, dual clutch gearbox. Gear changes can be fully automatic or driver controlled. The gear changes are almost instantaneous. It is this coupled with uninterrupted torque delivery from the engine which provides the relentless acceleration. McLaren Track Telemetry The McLaren Track Telemetry system provides timing data recording and graphical visualisation for track use, e.g. circuits and hill-climbs. Parking sensors The parking sensor system comprises four ultrasonic sensors in the front bumper, four ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper and two sounders. When the parking sensors detect an obstructions while manoeuvring, the sounders provide an audible warning. Supplementary Restraint System System comprises a number of air bags which are automatically deployed in an accident to provide additional occupant protection. p13.book Page 19 Wednesday, April 26, 2017 11:17 PM Vehicle Data and Glossary Technical Glossary Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Tyre Pressure Monitoring System constantly checks the pressure and temperature in all four tyres.
