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.

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.

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.

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.
