NOTE: When starting from cold,
engine idle speed may be increased
and gear changes may occur at
higher engine speeds. The catalytic
converter will reach its operating
temperature quicker and reduce
engine emissions.
1. With the engine running, press and
hold the brake pedal.
2. Select drive or reverse gear, or initiate
an upshift by operating the gearshift
paddles. For more information see
Gearshift Paddles, page 2.21 and Gear
Positions, page 2.18.
3. Keep the brake pedal depressed and
release the parking brake switch. The
red status light on the Driver Display
will be extinguished.
NOTE: If the parking brake is not
manually released it will
automatically release as the vehicle
is driven off, as long as the following
conditions are met:

All doors are closed

Driver’s seat belt is buckled
WARNING: If the parking brake is
manually released the vehicle may
start to move.
4. Carefully depress the accelerator
pedal.
Engine Warning Light
This engine warning light illuminates
when the ignition is on and
extinguishes as soon as the engine is
started, providing that no faults exist.
If the light illuminates while driving an
engine management fault has been
detected and reduced engine performance
may be experienced. Stop the vehicle as
soon as safety permits and contact your
McLaren retailer immediately.
Limphome Mode
Limphome mode activates automatically
when vehicle systems detect a fault which
may cause further damage unless vehicle
or system performance is restricted. Care
should be taken while driving in this mode.
Contact your McLaren retailer immediately.
Economical Driving
Improved fuel economy can be achieved by
following this advice:

Accelerate smoothly and gently from a
standing start

In manual mode avoid high engine rpm
by changing to a higher gear as soon
as possible
The gear shift indicator (GSI) will
illuminate when an upshift would
maintain optimum economy.
NOTE: Not available in all markets,
consult your McLaren retailer.

Avoid labouring or over-revving the
engine

Switch off the air conditioning when it
is not needed

Avoid journeys where frequent
stop/start driving is involved

Ensure that your driving style suits the
prevailing road and traffic conditions.
Allow time for smooth, progressive
acceleration and braking
