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 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.
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.
Launch control
Launch control is designed to give the
maximum acceleration performance from a
standing start.
McLaren Track Telemetry
The McLaren Track Telemetry system
provides timing data recording and graphical
visualization 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 maneuvering,
the sounders provide an audible warning.
Performance Shift Cue (PSC)
PSC is an audible shift indicator, which will
sound to indicate that an upshift is required
to maintain optimum performance.
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 instrument cluster
when the function is active.
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.
Supplementary Restraint System
System comprises a number of air bags
which are automatically deployed in an
accident to provide additional occupant
protection.
