Arming The Alarm System
Lock the vehicle (using the keyless system
or the key fob). The anti-theft alarm system
will be armed after approximately 5
seconds.
The light in the central locking button will
illuminate for approximately 60 seconds
after locking the vehicle, the light will
continue to flash beyond this time.
Disarming The Alarm System
Unlock the vehicle (using the keyless
system or the key fob), the alarm will
disarm and the light in the central locking
button will stop flashing.
Immobilizer
The immobilizer prevents your McLaren
from being started by an unauthorized
person.
The vehicle is automatically immobilized
when it senses that there is no key fob
present in the vehicle.
The immobilizer is deactivated when a key
fob is sensed inside the vehicle.
NOTE: Immobilization will only occur
if the engine is not running.
