Before You Drive
Occupant Safety
1.27
The warning light will remain illuminated if
the passenger’s seat is unoccupied or if a
child seat is fitted.
NOTE: The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
warning light is always illuminated
unless the passenger's seat is
occupied or a child seat is fitted to the
passenger's seat.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF warning light
is illuminated, the passenger’s front air bag is
not active. The side head air bag and the belt
tensioner on the passenger’s side remain
active even if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
warning light is illuminated.
WARNING: If the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF warning light is not
illuminated when the child seat is
fitted, the passenger’s air bag is not
deactivated. The child could be
seriously injured if the passenger’s
air bag inflates.
WARNING: To ensure that the
occupant classification system
functions correctly, McLaren
recommend that objects are not
placed under a seat. McLaren also
recommend that additional
materials are not applied such as a
blanket, cushion, or aftermarket
equipment such as a seat cover,
heater, or massager. These items
can seriously affect how well the
occupant classification system
operates. McLaren recommend that
aftermarket equipment such as
covers, heaters, and massagers are
NOT used.
WARNING: Any electronic devices
that are either active or connected
to the 12 V accessory socket should
not be placed on the passenger’s
seat. They can affect how the
occupant classification system
operates.
WARNING: The occupant
classification system may become
affected if any form of liquid
(inclusive of rain) is spilled onto the
passenger’s seat. If the PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF warning light is not
illuminated when the seat is
unoccupied, do not install a child
restraint or allow anyone to occupy
the seat. Please contact your
nearest McLaren retailer at your
earliest convenience.
WARNING: Do not place sharp
objects onto the passenger’s seat.
These may damage the occupant
classification system if they
puncture the seat cushion.
WARNING: To ensure that the
occupant classification system
functions correctly, never place
objects (e.g. a cushion) under the
child restraint system. The entire
base of the child restraint system
must be in contact with the seat at
all times. If a child restraint system
is not fitted correctly it may not
provide the intended degree of
protection in the event of an
accident and may cause injuries.
Air bag deployment
In the event of a collision, the air bags are
deployed by the supplementary restraints
system to protect the vehicle occupants. The
system can control the number of air bags
deployed and partially or fully inflate the air
bags depending on the severity of the
collision to provide the best possible
protection to the vehicle occupants.
