Driving on a significantly under-inflated tyre
causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to
tyre failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tyre tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
WARNING: TPMS is not a substitute
for proper tyre maintenance, and it
is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tyre pressure, even
if under-inflation has not reached
the level to trigger illumination of
the TPMS low tyre pressure warning
light.
Each tyre should be checked weekly when
cold and inflated/deflated to the inflation
pressure recommended on the tyre pressure
label.
Navigate through the ‘Vehicle Info’ screen on
the Driver Display to view the current tyre
pressures, see Vehicle info, page 3.6.
The display shows the pressures of each of
the four tyres. If the pressure figure appears
in green, no action is required. If it appears as
red text, inflate the associated tyre to the
correct pressure as soon as possible.
Inspect the tyre(s) for any possible causes of
reduced tyre pressure.
WARNING: The tyre pressures
indicated on the Driver Display will
be more accurate with a pressure
gauge. The tyre pressure
monitoring system is not a
substitute for manually checking
tyre pressures or checking for wear
and damage. The system only
provides a low tyre pressure
warning and does not re-inflate the
tyres.
The tyre pressure monitoring
system cannot alert you to damage
to a tyre. Regularly check the
condition of your tyres.
WARNING: If low pressure warnings
occur frequently, have the tyres
checked at your McLaren retailer.
Driving on an under-inflated tyre
will cause the tyre to overheat and
can lead to tyre failure.
ENVIRONMENTAL: Under-inflated
tyres reduce fuel efficiency and tyre
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s
handling and braking characteristics.
ENVIRONMENTAL: Check tyre
pressures at least every 7 days.
Tyre Temperature Monitoring System
operation
If a high tyre temperature is detected, the
Tyre Temperature Monitoring System will
display an error message on the Driver
Display.
