Four sensors detect where the key fob is around the vehicle. The keyless entry feature requires the key to be within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of the door sensors. NOTE: To prevent theft, only use the key fob in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle. For your convenience, provided that the engine is not running, the car can be locked irrespective of the electrical status, see Vehicle electrical status, page 2.3. Keyless entry Keyless entry allows the driver to unlock and disarm the vehicle by simply opening the door when the key fob is within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of the door sensors. The key fob needs only to be on the driver's person or in a non-metallic container such as a bag. It does not need to be exposed or handled. 1.2 Key fob entry Your McLaren includes two remote control key fobs. The key fob allows you to remotely lock and unlock the vehicle. The key fob locks and unlocks the following: • the doors (including fuel filler flap) • the luggage compartment 1. 2. 3. 4. In vehicle sensor Left-hand door sensor Right-hand door sensor Cup holder sensor Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 3 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM BEFORE YOU DRIVE OPENING AND CLOSING NOTE: If the vehicle is dirty or wet, is advisable to open the doors using the key fob. A quick double press of the unlock button will unlatch the driver’s door. A long press and hold on the unlock button will unlatch the passenger’s door. WARNING: The key fob allows the engine to be started and is also used to activate other features on the vehicle. To unlock the vehicle, using the key fob, press the unlock button. The front, rear and side turn signals flash twice and the anti-theft alarm system is deactivated. The unlock button operation changes depending whether the DRIVER or BOTH is selected in the vehicle settings, see Door Unlock, page 3.14. Take the key fob with you, every time you leave the vehicle. NOTE: Do not expose the key fob to high levels of electromagnetic radiation. Doing so may cause it to function incorrectly. For example close proximity to laptops, tablets, personal media players, or cell phones. Unlock Button Single Press Outcome If BOTH is selected, a single press of the button unlocks both doors. If DRIVER is selected, a single press of the button unlocks the driver’s door. A second press (after a pause) unlocks the passenger’s door. If BOTH is selected, a double press of the button unlocks both doors and unlatches the driver’s door. Double Press If DRIVER is selected, a double press of the button will unlock and unlatch the driver’s door only. Long Press A long press of the button will unlock both doors and unlatch the passenger’s door. 1.3 Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 4 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM BEFORE YOU DRIVE OPENING AND CLOSING Stowing the key fob For security, it is recommended that the key fob stays on your person when you are in the car. If, however, you wish to stow the key fob within the car, ensure that it is not left in plain view. NOTE: If the message ‘key not found in vehicle’ appears on the instrument cluster, reposition key fob until it is detected. NOTE: Do not stow the key fob in the center console stowage compartment, in the cup holders, in the stowage nets between the seats, or on the shelf immediately behind the seats as the system will not detect its presence and the engine will not start. 1.4 Discharged battery If you are unfortunate enough to experience a fully discharged battery, the vehicle can still be opened using the mechanical key, see Unlocking - discharged battery, page 5.25. Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 5 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM BEFORE YOU DRIVE OPENING AND CLOSING Opening a door NOTE: Because the door opens outwards and then upwards, ensure sufficient side and overhead clearance before opening a door. See Vehicle dimensions - except 675LT, page 6.8. 1. Press the button (1) firmly to unlock and unlatch the door. WARNING: Always stand to the rear of the door before opening it, as the opening action may cause injury. The speed that the door opens will be affected by ambient temperature. See Vehicle dimensions - 675LT, page 6.9. 2. If keyless entry is used, the front, rear and side turn signals (market specific) will flash twice, and the anti-theft alarm system is deactivated. 3. The door latch will then release, allowing the door to be partially raised before it automatically swings outwards and upwards. The mirrors will unfold if folded. NOTE: If the vehicle is dirty or wet, it is advisable to open the doors using the key fob. NOTE: When the door is opened, the window will lower slightly. It will raise to the closed position once the door is shut. If the window does not lower, for example, due to a discharged battery or freezing temperatures, take care when opening and closing the door. Do not force the door during opening or closing, as this could lead to the door seals or window becoming damaged. NOTE: A sustained long press and hold on the unlock button will automatically lower the window on that side of the vehicle. The window will continue to lower until the unlock button is released or the windows are fully lowered. NOTE: If the vehicle is unlocked using the key fob but the doors or luggage compartment are not opened, the vehicle will relock after 30 seconds. A quick double press of the unlock button will unlatch the driver’s door. A long press and hold on the unlock button will unlatch the passenger’s door. 1.5 Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 6 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM BEFORE YOU DRIVE OPENING AND CLOSING Locking a door NOTE: A sustained long touch and hold on the lock sensor will automatically raise the window. The window will continue to raise until the lock sensor is released or the window is fully closed. 4. The turn signals flash to indicate that the anti-theft alarm system is activated and the mirrors will fold. 1. Close the door. See Closing a door, page 1.10 2. To lock the vehicle using the key fob, press the lock button. The front, rear and side turn signals flash in a rapid, circular sequence around the car. The anti-theft alarm system is activated. 1.6 3. If using the keyless entry feature, touch the lock sensor (1) on the bodyside. NOTE: Ensure the key is within a 5 feet (1.5 meters) range of the door sensors when using the keyless entry feature. NOTE: The lock sensor will recognize a single touch. NOTE: When the door is opened the door glass will lower slightly to avoid contact with other parts of the vehicle. When the door is closed the glass will rise to the closed position automatically. If for any reason the door glass does not rise it is likely that the system has sensed a “trap” event. This can be caused by debris in the glass channel or misalignment of the glass. Ensure there are no obvious signs of debris in the glass channel, and hold the lock button. The glass will rise providing the door is correctly closed and there are no obstructions preventing it rising. If the glass does not close, or the glass repeatedly fails to automatically raise, contact your McLaren Retailer. Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 7 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM BEFORE YOU DRIVE OPENING AND CLOSING Mislock NOTE: If the doors are open or the key fob is still inside the vehicle, a momentary sounding of the alarm horn will alert you. If the luggage compartment lid or engine cover is open, a long tone will alert you. The long tone will also indicate that the tonneau cover is open or the roof is not fully open or fully closed on Spider models. If either the doors, the luggage compartment lid or the engine cover are left open, or the key fob is still inside the vehicle, an audible ‘mislock’ signal will sound when an attempt to lock the vehicle is made when the lock button on the key fob is pressed. On Spider models, the ‘mislock’ signal will also sound when an attempt is made to lock the vehicle if the tonneau cover is not fully closed or if the roof is not fully opened or fully closed. Check that the doors, the luggage compartment lid, the engine cover and the tonneau cover (Spider only) are all closed and that the roof is fully open or fully closed (Spider only), then relock the vehicle. NOTE: The car can be locked/alarmed with the luggage compartment open. A long tone is sounded to alert you of this condition, and differs to the short tone sounded for door open/key in car mislock. The luggage compartment will become alarmed as soon as the luggage compartment lid is closed. This will allow you to connect the battery charger to the charging point in the luggage compartment whilst leaving the rest of the vehicle locked. 1.7 Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 8 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM BEFORE YOU DRIVE OPENING AND CLOSING Individual settings Locking and unlocking from inside If you frequently travel without passengers, you can change the locking system so that only the driver's door is unlocked, see Auto Door Lock, page 3.14. If only the driver's door has been configured to unlock, the passenger’s door can only be unlocked by either pulling the passenger’s door internal handle, pressing the unlock button on the key fob again or by unlocking the car from the central locking button on the center console. 1. Press the central locking button to lock the vehicle, the light in the button will illuminate to indicate that the vehicle is locked. 2. Press the central locking button again to unlock the vehicle and the light in the button will extinguish. 1.8 Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 9 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM BEFORE YOU DRIVE OPENING AND CLOSING Opening a door from inside A door can be opened from inside the vehicle at any time, even if it has been locked. Open the doors only if the vehicle is stationary and road and traffic conditions permit. NOTE: Because the door opens outwards and then upwards, ensure sufficient side and overhead clearance before opening a door. 1. Pull door handle upwards, in direction of arrow, and push the door outwards until the opening mechanism takes over. The door will then swing outwards and upwards automatically. NOTE: When the door is opened, the window will lower slightly. It will raise to the closed position once the door is shut. If the window does not lower, take care when opening and closing the door. Do not force the door during opening or closing, as this could lead to the door seals or window becoming damaged. 1.9 BEFORE YOU DRIVE OPENING AND CLOSING Closing a door Automatic locking 1. Push/pull the door downwards and ensure that it latches securely. WARNING: Keep hands and other objects clear of the door edge when closing. This is particularly important for vehicles fitted with soft close latches as the door will automatically continue to the fully closed position when the first catch has engaged. There is no anti-trap feature preventing the door closing if an item or body part is trapped between the door and the door aperture, serious injury and vehicle damage may occur. If the window does not close, this may be due to an anti-trap event. Try one of the following: • reopen and close door • lock vehicle using the lock sensor on the bodyside 1.10 The doors and the luggage compartment lock automatically after the vehicle has driven away. NOTE: The doors unlock automatically in an accident if the force of the impact exceeds a predetermined level. The automatic locking function is selectable in the vehicle settings section of the instrument cluster, see Auto Door Lock, page 3.14. If automatic locking is ON, the interior central locking button will illuminate once the vehicle locks on drive away. In the event of continuous anti-trap events, press the lock sensor (1) for a few seconds. The window will continue to rise until you remove your hand from the lock sensor. Only attempt this if the above methods do not resolve the problem. NOTE: Do not force the door closed, the door seals or window could be damaged. Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 11 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM BEFORE YOU DRIVE OPENING AND CLOSING Engine cover WARNING: The exhaust tail pipes can be very hot and there is a risk of severe burns.

NOTE: The passenger’s side head air bag is only deployed if the passenger’s seat is occupied. Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 45 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM BEFORE YOU DRIVE OCCUPANT SAFETY Knee air bags WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury to occupants if a knee air bag is triggered, ensure that: • there are no other objects between the vehicle occupants and the deployment area of the air bags • no heavy or sharp objects are left in the pockets in clothing offer additional protection for the knees and lower body of the occupant on the side of the vehicle on which the impact occurs. NOTE: The passenger’s knee air bag is only deployed if the passenger’s seat is occupied. 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 passenger’s front air bag will not be active unless a specific weight is exceeded. This allows child restraint systems to be used on the passenger’s seat. The status of the air bags is indicated by the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF warning light on the overhead console. 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. The knee air bags (highlighted) are located in the lower area of the dash board, and are deployed if the system determines they can NOTE: The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF warning light is always illuminated unless the specific weight is exceeded. 1.45 Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 46 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM BEFORE YOU DRIVE OCCUPANT SAFETY 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. WARNING: To ensure that the occupant classification system functions correctly, never place objects under the seat. Also never apply additional material 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 1.46 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. 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 airbags deployed and partially or fully inflate the Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 47 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM BEFORE YOU DRIVE OCCUPANT SAFETY airbags depending on the severity of the 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 occupants weight, their physical size and their seated position in relation to their airbags. Once all these factors are known the system will then deploy the necessary airbags and regulate the inflation pressure in the impact zone to ensure the occupants 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 airbags escapes through vents in the airbag and this helps reduce the occurrence of major impact injuries to the occupants. An airbag 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. 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. 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. • the warning light does not illuminate Out Of Position (OOP) The airbag 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 airbags are deployed. 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: 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 1.47 Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 48 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM BEFORE YOU DRIVE OCCUPANT SAFETY Child passengers 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. 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. 1.48 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 below guidelines: Secure any child under 4 ft 5 in (1.35 meters) tall or younger than 12 years of age traveling in the vehicle in an appropriate category restraint according to their weight. Contact your McLaren Retailer for advice. Category Weight Category 0 Up to 22 lbs (10 kg) Category 0+s Up to 29 lbs (13 kg) Category I 20 lbs to 40 lbs (9 to 18 kg) Category II 33 lbs to 55 lbs (15 to 25 kg) Category III 49 lbs to 79 lbs (22 to 36 kg) Please refer to current national and state laws for specific requirements. Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 49 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM BEFORE YOU DRIVE OCCUPANT SAFETY is fully rearwards 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. 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 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. NOTE: If the vehicle is parked on a hill the inertia lock may stop the seat belt extending. If this occurs, release the seat 1.49 Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 50 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM BEFORE YOU DRIVE OCCUPANT SAFETY belt slightly and continue to extend the seat belt carefully to avoid the engagement of the inertia lock. 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. 1.50 Tether strap anchorages WARNING: Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle. WARNING: When fitting a child restraint, always pass the upper tether strap over the top of the seat back. Always ensure that if an upper tether is provided, it is secured and tightened fully, as this provides maximum protection for a child. An upper tether anchorage is provided on the passenger’s seat. Install the child seat and pass the upper tether strap over the top of the seat back, secure it to the anchorage and tighten fully. Once the child restraint is installed, test the security of the installation, before seating a child. Attempt to twist the child seat from side to side and to pull it away from the vehicle seat, to check it is securely in place. Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 51 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM BEFORE YOU DRIVE MIRRORS MIRRORS Safety WARNING: Before driving, adjust all mirrors to give the best possible view of road and traffic conditions.

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. 2.34 Anti-lock Braking System NOTE: In winter conditions, the maximum effect of the Anti-lock Braking System, brake assist system and Electronic Stability Control can only be achieved if you use winter tires, with snow chains or snow socks where they are necessary. The Anti-lock Braking System prevents the wheels from locking when you brake. This 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. WARNING: Always adapt your driving style to suit the prevailing road and weather conditions and maintain sufficient distance from other road users and objects on the road. Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 35 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM DRIVING CONTROLS DRIVING SAFETY SYSTEMS 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 wiper is 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. 2.35 Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 36 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM 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 two 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 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. 2.36 Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 37 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM DRIVING CONTROLS DRIVING SAFETY SYSTEMS Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Electronic stability control monitors driving 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. Electronic stability control operation is indicated by the warning light blinking on and off. NOTE: The electronic stability control warning light is permanently illuminated when Track mode is selected on the Handling Control. WARNING: If the electronic stability control warning light blinks on and off, do not deactivate Electronic Stability Control. Adapt your driving style to suit road and traffic conditions. Electronic stability control cannot reduce the risk of an accident if you drive too fast. Electronic stability control is unable to override the laws of physics. NOTE: Electronic stability control only functions properly if wheels with the recommended specification tires are used. 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. See: ESC - except 675LT, page 2.38. See: ESC - 675LT, page 2.40. Electronic stability control is activated automatically as soon as the engine is running. 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. 2.37 Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 38 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM DRIVING CONTROLS DRIVING SAFETY SYSTEMS ESC - except 675LT Deactivating Electronic Stability Control WARNING: When Electronic Stability Control is deactivated, the risk of the vehicle skidding is increased.

(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 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. 2.48 WARNING: Never ignore a tire pressure warning. Check tire pressures immediately and if necessary contact your McLaren retailer. Tire Pressure Monitoring System overview The system monitors the tire pressures and temperatures in each wheel using sensors located in each tire valve and a receiver located within the vehicle. Communication between the sensors and the receiver is via Radio Frequency (RF) signals. NOTE: The Tire Pressure Monitoring System can suffer interference if you are operating radio transmitting equipment (e.g. radio headphones, two-way radios) in or near the vehicle. Tire Pressure Monitoring System operation If a low tire pressure is detected, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System warning light will illuminate along with an associated error message in the left-hand display. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System warns you when the pressure drops or the temperature increases above an acceptable level in one or more of the tires. Stop the vehicle as soon as possible, check all your tires and inflate them to the recommended pressure, see Tire pressures, page 5.34. The warning light will extinguish once the tires have been inflated to the correct pressure. Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 49 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM DRIVING CONTROLS DRIVING SAFETY SYSTEMS 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. 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. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System cannot alert you to damage to a tire. Regularly check the condition of your tires. 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 3.17. 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 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.

With worn tires, the driving stability of the vehicle will be adversely affected. 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. 5.32 McLaren recommends that you only use Pirelli summer or winter tires, See Wheel and tire sizes, page 6.12. and axle components. This could result in damage to the tires or the vehicle. These tires provide the best possible performance in conjunction with the safety systems on your vehicle and have been specifically approved by McLaren. NOTE: Retreaded tires must not be used. Do not fit used tires if you have no information about their previous usage. 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. 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 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. Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 33 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM MAINTAINING YOUR McLAREN WHEELS AND TIRES Tire markings 1. Width of tire in millimeters 2. Tire profile given as percentage of tire width. 3. Indicates that the tire 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 1,350 lbs (615 kg) and Y indicates speeds over 186 mph (300 kph). 6. Displays the maximum load which can be carried by the tire 7. Wear rate indicator. The higher the figure the longer a tire will last. 8. The alpha character denotes resistance to heat. An 'A' rated tire offers most heat resistance. 9. Information about the manufacture of the tire. Contains place and date of manufacture. 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. Tires WARNING: Only tires recommended by McLaren are to be fitted to the vehicle. WARNING: The tires must be mounted according to the labeling on the tire wall. Inspecting wheels and tires At least every 14 days, check the tires for cuts, punctures, tears, bumps, deformation and cracks. Check wheels for severe corrosion. Damaged wheels could cause a loss of tire pressure. 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. 5.33 Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 34 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM MAINTAINING YOUR McLAREN WHEELS AND TIRES NOTE: It is recommended that you always have your tires replaced by your McLaren Retailer. If Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is fitted, 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 5.34. All wheels must have a valve cap fitted to protect the valve against dirt and moisture. 5.34 Driving precautions When parking your McLaren, ensure that the tires do not contact the kerb or other obstacles. If it is necessary to drive over kerbs, speed humps or potholes, drive slowly and at a shallow angle or the tires could be damaged. 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. Tire pressures WARNING: Tire 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 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. Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 35 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM MAINTAINING YOUR McLAREN WHEELS AND TIRES Deflated tire For the tire pressures for various operating conditions, see Tire pressures, page 6.12. 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 driver's sill panel. NOTE: Tire pressures given for low loads are minimum values which offer optimum ride comfort. Increased pressures for higher loads will not adversely affect the running of the vehicle, but ride comfort will be impaired. Check the pressures when the tires are cold. If it is necessary to check the tires when they are warm, pressures will be higher. Do not let air out of warm tires to match the recommended cold tire pressures. Driving with tire pressure that is too high or too low can: • create a risk of tire failure with resultant accidents, causing injury or death • shorten the life of the tires • cause increased tire damage • have a negative effect on handling characteristics (e.g. by causing aquaplaning) ENVIRONMENTAL: Check tire pressures at least every 14 days. Interchanging wheels WARNING: Only approved wheels with winter tires can be fitted to your McLaren as alternatives. Your McLaren is equipped with a can of tire 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 1.58. 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. 5.35 Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 36 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM MAINTAINING YOUR McLAREN WHEELS AND TIRES Using the tire sealant • you have driven at very low tire pressures or with deflated tires Contact your McLaren Retailer immediately. Remove the tire 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. Have the punctured tire replaced as soon as possible. You can use the tire sealant to seal small punctures, particularly those in the tire's tread. The tire sealant can be used at ambient temperatures down to -4°F (-20°C). WARNING: The tire sealant is unable to seal punctures if: • there are cuts or punctures in the tire greater than 4 mm • the rims are damaged 5.36 WARNING: Have punctured tires replaced. McLaren do not recommend that punctured tires are repaired. WARNING: If the tire 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 tire sealant. If an allergic reaction occurs, contact a doctor immediately. WARNING: Keep the tire sealant out of reach of children. If tire sealant is swallowed, immediately rinse the mouth thoroughly and drink a large amount of water. Do not induce vomiting. Contact a doctor immediately. Do not inhale tire sealant fumes. NOTE: After using tire sealant, the tire valve, incorporating the Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensor, will have to be replaced. Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 37 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM MAINTAINING YOUR McLAREN WHEELS AND TIRES P ZeroTM Trofeo R tires Pirelli offer P ZeroTM Trofeo R tires approved for use on your McLaren. NOTE: P ZeroTM Trofeo R tires are standard on the 675LT. NOTE: P ZeroTM Trofeo R tires must be fitted with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The driver’s skill level must be commensurate with the vehicle performance levels in the upper range limits due to increased safety risks. NOTE: Due to ultra high performance design and the particular manufacturing process of these tires, they must always be replaced in axle sets (Front and rear) regardless of wear or mileage. Failure to do so may have a negative affect on the handling characteristics of the vehicle. The main features of the P ZeroTM Trofeo R tires are a reduced tread depth and a special tread pattern and carcass compared with other tires. WARNING: Risk of accident from worn tires. P ZeroTM Trofeo R tires have a smaller tread depth, and thus can reach their wear limit sooner. It is important to check tire wear frequently to avoid risk of serious personal injury or death from worn tires. WARNING: Risk of accident through loss of road surface contact, control over the vehicle and braking ability, leading to serious personal injury or death. The reduced tire tread depth means that there is an increased risk of aquaplaning on wet roads. When driving on wet or mud-covered roads reduce speed significantly. NOTE: Notify anyone using your car of these characteristics and possible effects. 5.37 Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 38 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM MAINTAINING YOUR McLAREN VEHICLE CARE VEHICLE CARE Washing your McLaren ENVIRONMENTAL: Some cleaning products contain chemicals that are hazardous to the environment.

NOTE: Do not tow the vehicle, doing so could damage the gearbox. The towing eye must only be used to winch the vehicle onto a trailer or transporter for recovery purposes. Do not use a rigid bar to tow the vehicle. Towing eye and mounting The towing eye is located at the front of the luggage compartment. 1. Remove the cover from the towing eye mounting in the front bumper. 2. Screw the towing eye clockwise into the mounting hole, ensuring that it is screwed in to the full extent of the thread. NOTE: To avoid damage to the towing eye and the vehicle, it is important to ensure that the towing eye is in full contact with the mating surface of the front structure. NOTE: A winch cable/strap must be secured to the towing eye only or the vehicle could be damaged. 5.43 Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 44 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 45 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 46 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 1 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM VEHICLE DATA AND GLOSSARY GENUINE McLAREN PARTS AND ACCESSORIES Overview.............................................................................................................. 6.2 VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION Vehicle identification number.................................................................... 6.3 DATA Overview.............................................................................................................. 6.4 Vehicle operating temperatures ............................................................... 6.4 Engine .................................................................................................................. 6.5 Maximum speeds in each gear................................................................... 6.7 Gear ratios........................................................................................................... 6.7 Vehicle dimensions - except 675LT......................................................... 6.8 Vehicle dimensions - 675LT........................................................................ 6.9 Vehicle weights.............................................................................................. 6.10 Wheel and tire sizes ..................................................................................... 6.12 Turning circle.................................................................................................. 6.12 Tire pressures................................................................................................. 6.12 SERVICE PRODUCTS, FLUIDS AND CAPACITIES Service products ........................................................................................... 6.13 Engine oil specification .............................................................................. 6.13 Fuel ..................................................................................................................... 6.13 Coolant.............................................................................................................. 6.14 Power steering fluid..................................................................................... 6.14 Brake fluid ........................................................................................................ 6.14 TECHNICAL GLOSSARY Technical glossary ........................................................................................ 6.15 6.1 Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 2 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM VEHICLE DATA AND GLOSSARY GENUINE McLAREN PARTS AND ACCESSORIES GENUINE McLAREN PARTS AND ACCESSORIES Overview McLaren recommends that you only use genuine McLaren replacement parts and accessories.

(26.0 litres) Antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor Mobil Extra Antifreeze Antifreeze quantity for protection to -4°F (-20°C) 3.4 gal. (13.0 litres) 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 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. 6.14 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 so effectively. If the vehicle is losing coolant, do not drive your vehicle and contact your McLaren Retailer. Only use Pentosin CHF202 power steering fluid. Brake fluid Only use Pentosin DoT 5.1 Brake fluid. Over a period of 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, have the brake fluid replaced at the recommended service intervals. Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 15 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM 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. Airbrake The Airbrake is a movable wing that enhances the vehicle's driving stability and braking performance by increasing rear downforce. 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 maneuvers. 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 authorization. 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 wiper is 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 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. 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 6.16. 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. 6.15 Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 16 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM VEHICLE DATA AND GLOSSARY TECHNICAL GLOSSARY Electronic Stability Control ESC monitors driving stability and traction between the tires 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 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: • Roll stiffness • 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. 6.16 Inertia push Within Track powertrain mode when calling for an upshift at high engine speeds under hard acceleration, inertia push put simply 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. Launch control Launch control is designed to give the maximum acceleration performance from a standing start. 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 5 feet (1.5 meters) of the door sensors. Rear View Camera The Rear View Camera (RVC) is mounted in the center of the rear grille. The live video feed is displayed on the IRIS screen when the function is active. 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 maneuvering, the sounders provide an audible warning. Performance Shift Cue (PSC) - 675LT PSC is an audible shift indicator, which will sound to indicate that an upshift is required to maintain optimum performance. Mclaren P11 - Complete.book Page 17 Friday, January 22, 2016 9:43 AM VEHICLE DATA AND GLOSSARY TECHNICAL GLOSSARY Seamless Shift Gearbox The seamless shift gearbox is a 7 speed, dual clutch gearbox.
