Deflated tyre
Your McLaren is equipped with a container of
tyre sealant, which is located in the luggage
compartment.
In the event of a puncture, follow the steps
below to ensure your safety, and the safety
of other vehicle occupants and other road
users.
Repairing a puncture
1. Stop the vehicle as far away as possible
from traffic and on a firm and level
surface.
2. If on a public highway, switch on the
hazard warning lamps, see Hazard
warning lamps, page 1.37.
3. Apply the parking brake and select
neutral.
4. Passengers should exit the vehicle
safely and remain well away from the
vehicle, the road and any traffic.
5. Place the warning triangle at an
appropriate distance from the vehicle
to warn other traffic of a breakdown,
see Warning triangle, page 6.8.
Using the tyre sealant
You can use the tyre sealant to seal small
punctures, particularly those in the tyre’s
tread. The tyre sealant can be used at
ambient temperatures down to -20°C (-4°F).
WARNING: The tyre sealant is
unable to seal punctures if:
•
there are cuts or punctures in the
tyre greater than 4 mm.
•
the wheel rims are damaged.
•
you have driven at very low tyre
pressures or with deflated tyres.
Contact your McLaren retailer
immediately
Remove the tyre sealant from the luggage
compartment and follow the instructions on
the container.
NOTE: If possible, locate the cause of
the puncture and position the wheel
so the puncture is at the lowest point
to enable the sealant to be more
effective.
Have the punctured tyre replaced as soon as
possible.
WARNING: Have punctured tyres
replaced. McLaren do not
recommend that punctured tyres
are repaired.
WARNING: If the tyre sealant comes
into contact with your eyes or skin,
immediately rinse thoroughly with
clean water, change out of clothing
which has been in contact with the
tyre sealant. If an allergic reaction
occurs, contact a doctor
immediately.
WARNING: Keep the tyre sealant out
of reach of children. If tyre sealant is
swallowed, immediately rinse the
mouth thoroughly and drink a large
amount of water. Do not induce
