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
instrument cluster.
The vehicle speed should be reduced as
soon as this message is observed. Refrain
from maneuvers 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
2.14
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 maneuvering 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 engine is running and
drive is selected. The rear parking sensors
are switched on when reverse gear is
