Overview
The Driver Display is activated when the
ignition is switched on. See Switching On
The Ignition, page 2.5.
WARNING: No messages will appear
on the Driver Display if there is a
fault with the screen or vehicle
electrics. Contact your McLaren
retailer immediately. Use of the
vehicle in these circumstances can
be dangerous.
Tachometer
The tachometer display appears in the
centre of the Driver Display when in Non-
Active, Comfort or Sport powertrain and
handling modes. The red number on the
display indicates the engine’s maximum
RPM.
When Sport or Track powertrain or handling
modes are selected the tachometer style
will change to suit the selected mode. See
Display Window, page 3.12.
NOTE: The maximum RPM is
dynamic and will be reduced under
certain conditions (e.g. if the engine
oil is below normal operating
temperature, or if neutral gear is
selected).
NOTE: Do not operate the engine at
or near its maximum speed for a
significant length of time. The fuel
supply is cut off when the maximum
RPM is reached to protect the
engine.
Shift Lights
When Track powertrain or handling mode is
selected shift lights will be displayed across
the top edge of the Driver Display. The shift
lights are arranged in three blocks: a green
block, red block and blue block. Each block
illuminates as engine RPM increases.
Accelerating the engine speed beyond the
point that the blue block is illuminated is
not conducive to rapid acceleration.
