If you remove these warning labels,
you or others may not then be aware
of dangers, which may result in an
injury.
Ground clearance
WARNING: Damage to the underside
of the vehicle may occur when
approaching steep inclines or
declines.
Drive with care when:
• approaching kerbs.
• approaching steep inclines.
•
departing steep declines.
• driving on rough roads.
• driving in areas where traffic calming
measures have been deployed.
•
driving in any other environment where
sudden change of road surface height or
elevation are encountered such as car
parks.
See Vehicle dimensions, page 7.06.
Track driving
To achieve optimum performance and reliability,
it is important to ensure the following
preconditions are met before attempting to drive
your vehicle on a track:
• Engine oil is at normal operating
temperature
• Engine oil level is correct, see Checking the
engine oil, page 6.04
• Engine coolant is at normal operating
temperature
• Tyres should not exceed the safe operating
temperatures
NOTE: Before you use your vehicle on
a track, consult your McLaren retailer.
McLaren recommend that your vehicle
is inspected before and after track use.
NOTE: Always drive within your limits
and the limits of the vehicle.
Cooling down
McLaren recommend that you take time to cool
the vehicle down during track driving, due to the
high temperatures that may be generated by
the brakes and transmission which could affect
performance. Time should be taken to drive the
vehicle at a slower speed without using hard
braking or carrying out excessive gear changes,
this uses the airflow to cool the vehicle.
McLaren recommend that time is allowed for
your vehicle to return to normal operating
temperatures before leaving the track.
NOTE: When stopping the vehicle
directly after performance driving,
McLaren recommend that the ignition
is not immediately switched off or
parking brake applied. McLaren
recommend that the engine is left to
idle prior to the ignition being switched
off.
NOTE: Please refer to your Service and
Warranty Guide for track and
competition use implications.
