Winter Driving
Winter driving
It is recommended that you have your
vehicle inspected at your McLaren retailer at
the onset of winter. This service includes the
following:
•
checking the antifreeze/anti-corrosion
concentration
•
adding concentrated cleaning agent to
the windscreen cleaning system
•
checking the battery
•
changing the tires
Winter tires
Use winter tires below 45°F (7°C) and on
snow or ice-covered roads. The maximum
effect of the anti-lock braking system and
electronic stability control systems is only
achieved with these tires.
Use winter tires of the same make and tread
on all wheels to maintain safe handling
characteristics. Change the tire type in
‘Vehicle Settings’ on the instrument cluster,
see Tire Type, page 3.25.
Winter tires are directional, not
asymmetrical, and so must be fitted in
accordance with the directional markings on
the sides of the tires.
NOTE: Only winter tires specified by
McLaren should be used.
WARNING: Replace winter tires with
a tread depth of less than 4 mm
immediately. They are not suitable
for winter use because they do not
provide sufficient grip, and could
cause an accident.
NOTE: A wheel change must be carried
out at your McLaren retailer. The
vehicle could be damaged if it is jacked
up incorrectly.
Consult your McLaren retailer for advice and
information regarding the maximum speed
specified for the winter tires fitted. Restrict
the maximum speed of the vehicle using the
ASL system, see Setting an upper speed
limit, page 2.41.
Snow socks
McLaren recommends that you only use
snow socks which have been approved for
McLaren vehicles. If you are intending to fit
snow socks, bear the following points in
mind:
•
Only ever fit snow socks to both rear
wheels.
•
Comply with the manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
speed of 30 mph (50 kph). Remove the snow
socks as soon as possible if you are no longer
driving on snow-covered roads.
