Exhaust Temperature Monitoring; Parking Sensors - McLaren SUPER SERIES Owner's Handbook Manual

DRIVING CONTROLS
STARTING AND DRIVING

Exhaust Temperature Monitoring

The vehicle continuously monitors exhaust
temperatures to protect the catalytic
converters from damage caused by
overheating.
If excessive exhaust temperatures are
measured, a warning will be displayed on the
left-hand side of the instrument cluster.
The vehicle speed should be reduced as soon
as this message is observed. Refrain from
manoeuvres involving high engine speed and
high engine load (full throttle) to allow the
exhausts to cool. The message will remain
until the temperature has reduced.
If the exhaust temperature remains at an
excessive level, a second warning is displayed
and Limphome mode is activated. The engine
performance will remain limited until the
vehicle is restarted.
NOTE: Catalytic converter over
temperature warnings are not likely to
be observed during normal driving and
are the result of extreme operating
conditions. For example, high exhaust
temperatures can be caused by
extended track driving, maintaining high
engine speed for long durations, and
sudden and repeated changes in throttle
demand.
NOTE: High exhaust temperatures can
cause damage to catalytic converters
and should be avoided by practicing
careful driving.
If the warnings persist, contact your McLaren
Retailer.

Parking Sensors

The parking sensors alert the driver to any
obstructions while manoeuvring at low
speeds. The system comprises four ultrasonic
sensors in the front bumper, four ultrasonic
sensors in the rear bumper and two sounders.
Each sounder has a different pitch to indicate
whether the obstruction is at the front or the
rear of the vehicle.
The front parking sensors are automatically
switched on when the ignition is switched on.
The rear parking sensors are switched on
when reverse gear is selected. The light
