EMERGENCY SYSTEMS
Fire Suppression System
The vehicle is fitted with a integral fire
suppression system, There are no owner
serviceable parts on this system. Contact the
system supplier or McLaren Special
Operations in case of concern. This system
has a limited service life and must be replaced
on or before the date shown on the system
expiry date label. Under no circumstances
should an attempt be made to re-charge the
system after deployment. Contact the system
supplier or McLaren Special Operations for
guidance and advice. Ensure the system is
inspected for integrity prior to each track visit.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the vehicle's
usage some of the systems are lifed, this
needs to be monitored using the
McLaren Diagnostic System (MDS). All
component kilometre life is listed in the
McLaren Diagnostic System (MDS).
