should be taken to drive the vehicle at a
slower speed without using hard braking or
carrying out excessive gear changes, this
uses the airflow to cool the vehicle.
McLaren recommend that time is allowed for
your vehicle to return to normal operating
temperatures before leaving the track.
NOTE: When stopping the vehicle
directly after performance driving,
McLaren recommend that the ignition
is not immediately switched off or
parking brake applied. McLaren
recommend that the engine is left to
idle prior to the ignition being
switched off.
NOTE: Please refer to your Service and
Warranty Guide for track and
competition use implications.
Stored data
There are a number of components in your
vehicle which collect data and store it
temporarily or permanently. This technical
data provides information relating to areas
such as the condition of the vehicle, any
events which have taken place and any
malfunctions your vehicle may be
experiencing or has experienced in the past.
These include, for example:
•
operating conditions of system
components, e.g. fluid levels.
•
the vehicle’s status messages and
those of its individual components, e.g.
‘Windscreen washer fluid low’.
•
malfunctions and defects in important
system components, e.g. ‘Light switch
fault’.
•
vehicle reactions and operating
conditions in special driving situations,
e.g. air bag deployment.
•
ambient conditions, e.g. outside
temperature.
This data is of an exclusively technical
nature and can be used to:
•
assist in recognising and rectifying
faults and defects.
•
analyse vehicle functions, e.g. after an
accident.
•
optimise vehicle functions.
The data cannot be used to trace the
vehicle’s movements.
When your vehicle is serviced, technical
information can be read from the vehicle
including:
•
repair service history.
•
warranty events.
•
quality assurance.
This information can be read by employees
of the service network (including
manufacturers) using special diagnostic
testers. More detailed information can be
obtained from it, if required.
After a fault has been rectified, the
information is deleted from the fault
memory or is continually overwritten.
When operating the vehicle, situations may
occur where technical data, in connection
with other information, could be traced to a
person.
Examples include:
