Before You Drive
Occupant Safety
1.21
WARNING: Once triggered (or if you
are unsure if they have triggered)
you MUST NOT drive the vehicle.
Contact your nearest McLaren
Retailer immediately.
Belt Force Limiters
The seat belts incorporate belt force
limiters. Belt force limiters are tuned to the
front air bags and gradually release the
tension being applied to the belts during an
impact, reducing the force exerted on
occupants.
Seat Belt Warning Light
The seat belt warning light on the
Driver Display and a warning tone
reminds vehicle occupants to fasten their
seat belts. The seat belt warning light
extinguishes and the warning tone ceases
when the driver and passenger have
fastened their seat belt.
Helmets
WARNING: The AAMS will not
prevent large objects from entering
the cabin. McLaren recommends
that helmets are worn whilst driving
the vehicle.
WARNING: Helmets are not a
substitute for correctly worn seat
belts, they enhance the level of
occupant protection offered by seat
belts.
WARNING: Helmets must fit snugly
to the head and not move when in
use. If your helmet is loose, replace
it.
WARNING: Make sure you fasten the
helmet straps when you wear it. Do
not drive with the helmet straps
undone.
NOTE: Clean the helmet liner
regularly.
NOTE: McLaren recommend that
helmets are replaced if you are in a
collision while you are wearing
them.
Your McLaren comes supplied with two
helmets and impact resistant eyewear
which help to minimize the risk of injury.
